If the buzz is to be believed, Pawan Kalyan is planning to launch his brother Nagababu’s son Varun Tej as hero soon. Pawan Kalyan is discussing the same with his close people. He also discussed the idea with his director friends, say rumor mills. Pawan Kalyan is also the man behind Sai Dharam Tej (Rey fame) debut. YVS Chowdary narrated the story to Pawan and got his approval before signing up SDT.

Now Pawan Kalyan is planning a bigger and effective launch for Varun Tej. Nagababu’s son is a very attractive, tall and handsome young man who has all the features to give a stiff competition to the younger generation heroes. He is currently undergoing rigorous training in dances and fights. Varun Tej’s debut film might be launched in the first quarter of 2013.

Pawan Kalyan will be producing this film on Pawan Kalyan Creative Works banner. One of the frontline directors of Telugu cinema will direct this film. Pawan Kalyan is giving it a serious thought to make films on a regular basis on his banner. Gabbar Singh was supposed to be his debut production, but later he backed off from producing it. Stay tuned for more details.

It has been a spectacular show of directors at Jr.NTR’s ‘Dammu’ audio release function. Sreenu Vaitla too graced the occasion to raise his demands.

After directing ‘Dookudu’, Sreen Vaitla is the super sensation of Telugu Cinema industry any hero dies to work with. The golden chance is well utilized by Jr.NTR with ‘Baadshah’ going on floors very soon. While speaking on stage, Vaitla said, ‘Take it as an honest and modest request. Give me a Bigger Target by making this movie a sensational hit such that I’ll score a bigger hit than this with Baadshah’.

With its rocking trailer and mass-adoring dialogues, ‘Dammu’ looks like a perfect package that is loved in all centres. Let us see how his ‘Bigger Target’ demand works at Box Office.

‘Dammu’ audio function is held today at Shilpa Kala Vedika. Vel Records owned by Mr and Mrs Keeravani released the audio. The special attraction of this event is Lakshmi Pranathi, the best half of Jr NTR.

She surpassed Trisha and Karthika in dignity and elegance. Without any gaudy make up, Pranathi graced the event wearing a black and white chudidaar. She turned the eyes of even many ladies towards her.

Fans and film buffs feel that lady luck seems to be showering a lot on NTR as he looked complete on dais with her second half beside him. Let us wish Dammu rocks!

Previously, a film’s flashback episode used to have child artists in place of their hero and heroine in real time. This trend is slowly dying down with many stars playing that young episode themselves.

Say it for natural interpretation or too generate much heat with heroines donning school uniforms, sexy starlets are changing ways. Red hot Samantha and curvaceous Shruti Hassan have both became school girls. In her upcoming movie ‘Yeto Vellipoyindi Manasu’, Sam babe is seen for a while as a school going hot-girl who falls in love with her class mate.

Same is the case with Shruti in upcoming ‘3’, where she is a girl in uniform in the first phase of movie. More than creating an young and bubbly atmosphere, heroines in uniforms are giving a sensuous erotic feel to their character. Both movies being love stories, it is that romantic feeling that is needed to be generated and hence the ‘school girl’ acts, say insiders. Watch this space for more interesting updates.

Till date the fashion is to insert the screen-name of heroine in the lyrics of songs. We have thousands of such numbers in Tollywood from times ancient. Now, the fashion is tagging heroine’s real name itself.

May be you still remember ‘Ileana’ song from ‘Snehitudu’ movie, which praises the ‘belly’ of hot Goa beauty with tempting words. Latest entry is ‘Tamanna’ song in Ramcharan’s upcoming movie ‘Racha’. However, ‘Dil Ki Tamanna’ is one famous line in Hindi circuit which was used in many songs till date. The person behind writing her name in lyrics is said to be Megastar Chiru. More than projecting his stardom and talent, Chiru knows how to use the popularity of heroines to promote the film better, say cine observers.

Ram Charan too should learn these tricks of the trade for stunning success, they say. Sources close to Charan said, ‘he is very much talented than his Dad, indeed it is his idea to use Tamanna’s name’. Whatever it is, Mega family is using Tamanna like a trump card to make all stones turned for ‘Racha’!

He is known as the intellectual director and so far his movies have not only provided entertainment but had a tinge of philosophy in them. Though he is just two films old he is already rated as the top league directors of Tollywood. We are talking about Jagarlamudi Radhakrishna fondly known as Krish.

Now, he is busy with the shaping up of his new movie ‘Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum’ and this has the towering hunk Daggubati Rana in the lead. The talk about the project is the interest that Krish has only for old babes. Apparently, sources say he approached the awesome beauty Anushka for the role of leading lady.

However, that didn’t work out and instead of going for someone like Kajal Agarwal or Samantha, it is heard that Krish has now roped in the gracious looking Nayantara. While it might look a little odd to see Rana with Nayan, sources say Krish is confident the combo will work and the characterizations fit them both aptly. Let us see how this goes.

Samantha is one of those actresses who is instinctive and spontaneous. She gets into the skin of the character and can switch on & off an emotion just like that, which is a god gifted quality. She had played the most complex character of Jesse in her debut film ‘Ye Maya Chesave’ itself and is doing another such role in Gautham Menon’s next ‘Yeto Vellipoyindi Manasu’.

When asked about the same, Samantha says,”In my opinion, Acting is an easy thing to do. The trick is that the audience shouldn’t feel that we are acting, instead they should experience the emotion of our characters. There lies the trick! If one can do so, then he/she could make it big in this Industry.”

The year 2012 will be very special in the career of Samantha. About 7 of her films will be releasing in this year and all of them are prestigious projects (Mahesh Babu’s Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu, Ram Charan’s Yevadu, Rajamouli’s Eega, Gautham Menon’s Tri-lingual film (Telugu, Tamil, Hindi) – Yeto Vellipoyindi Manasu, Naga Chaitanya’s Autonagar Surya). Great going Sam!

The bonding between film stars and their fans and the film stars with politics is quite strong in our state. Of course, with each passing day the charisma that senior heroes possessed is not being carried by the new generation heroes. However, prince Mahesh Babu has broken that jinx and today he rules the roost.

In between, there was a strong buzz that Mahesh was being wooed by the Congress party to join them and canvass for them. Given his father and uncle’s association with the party, many felt it would happen. However, the first reaction from Mahesh when asked about joining politics is a hearty laughter.

Well, Mahesh is clear that he would never go anywhere near politics. The cine folks say that after seeing the fate of Chiranjeevi anyone having brains would not venture into this dirty field. Given Mahesh’s stand on politics, it may be a while before another star will emerge from Tollywood to jump into politics.

After tasting tremendous success with ‘The Dirty Picture’ in Hindi, the makers are planning to remake it in South. Although ‘The Dirty Picture’ dubbed version released in Telugu and Tamil, it didn’t reach wider audience. So, the Bollywood makers are keen on remaking it in Telugu and Tamil. There are few producers that are vying for remake rights, but they are not ready to sell them off.

They believe that the success of The Dirty Picture was because of Vidya Balan and they are very stubborn about casting an actress of same stature if not more. They have Anushka on their mind and few other top South actresses too. First choice for South remake of The Dirty Picture is Anushka. They are yet to meet her though.

If they can rope in Anushka for The Dirty Picture, then they will surely strike gold in Telugu and Tamil as Anushka is very popular in both the languages. When an actress of Anushka’s caliber scorches the screen, then it should set the cash registers on fire.

Manchu Manoj is one hero who earned good reputation by performing Live stunts and selecting different movies. He is currently acting in uu Kodathara Ulikki Padathara in which Nandamuri Balakrishna and Lakshmi Manchu are playing important roles. Manoj is also the stunt director of this movie and is composing live stunts for Balayya and Lakshmi.

Recently, Lakshmi was also injured a bit performing the stunts. Manoj and Lakshmi says the movie is their dream project and had pinned high hopes on the movie.

Powerstar Pawan Kalyan is a man of action than words. His technical brilliance and fan power are proved many times, but fate is playing ‘soccer’ with him.

Pawan generally likes to rope in new actors and actresses for the lead roles of his movie. But this time he is not at all saying no to director and producer’s requests in selecting candidates. Say it Tamanna in Puri Jagan’s ‘Cameraman gangatho Rambabu’ or Malaika Arora for an item song in ‘Gabbar Singh’. These days he is simply taking remuneration and doing whatever the director demands, say insiders.

While all these are odd decisions for him, what is that forcing Powerstar to bend his head? After losing all money and peace through family, Pawan has changed himself to adjust into the real meaning of present Tollywood life, say critics. Whatever it is, nothing is permanent here except ‘change’!
