Samantha is all set to be paired up with Superstar Mahesh Babu again. Producer Dil Raju is trying to rope her in for his ambitious multi-starrer, Seetamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu , in which Mahesh Babu and Venkatesh are acting as brothers.  Although, search to cast an actress opposite Venkatesh is still going on, it is said that Dil Raju is almost finalized Samantha opposite Mahesh Babu.

Though this is a discussion from the last one year, the talks got more attention with ace director Rajamouli's name surfacing on the mainstream. Is Chiru really requesting Rajamouli to direct him a flick?. In his glorious career of fame and compassion, Megastar never requested any director to direct a flick for him. Enthusiastic makers always stood in line to make a project with this 'mega hero' of Telugu Cinema. Reports are doing rounds in media that Chiru request Rajamouli to direct a flick and he rejected it very smoothly. If a person like Chiru is asking for a movie and is giving super opportunity, his 'rejection' has become the centre for many doubts. Here is one version of the gossip.

After watching the first copy of blockbuster movie MAGADHEERA, legends from mega famly have commented that the movie will not work at BO.

Orange Movie Behind Pawan-Renu split?

Pawan Kalyan and Renu Desai are not staying together at the moment. Renu moved to her parents place in Pune and has been staying there from few months. Their well wishers and friends are trying to sort out the differences and Renu is reluctant to come back at this point. What led to the split? Why did Pawan and Renu who evaded all the odds to stay together all these years have been separated now? The buzz from filmnagar says that Orange movie is the reason for this split. We all know that Nagababu has gone bankrupt with this film. He lost so much money on it and was under severe pressure.
Pawan Kalyan came to his rescue and gave away his hard earned money for the sake of brother. This didn't go down well with Renu Desai as she has seen none of his family members helped Pawan Kalyan out during his tough days. He sold off his editing suite and all his belongings post Jhonny and no one came to his rescue then. Even Nagababu didn't pay him properly for Gudumba Shankar, say grapevine. Therefore, Renu is not happy with Pawan's decision to bail out Nagababu. But Pawan acted against her will and hurt by this she went away with kids. Pawan Kalyan has been trying hard to keep the relation alive and afloat. Let's hope they sort out their differences soon.

Dookudu Is A Miracle @ Mahesh Babu

Prince Mahesh Babu is riding high with the success of his latest offering ‘Dookudu’ and the film has received the second highest opening in the US after Aamir Khan’s ‘3 Idiots’. Recently, Mahesh was sharing his thoughts and here are few excerpts

Stuck with ‘Pokiri’:Mahesh mentioned that his film ‘Pokiri’ was remade two years ago with Salman Khan and it became a massive hit. But he got stuck to that image and that’s why his later movies didn’t click. So, he decided to take an year off and made his comeback with ‘Dookudu’. He is happy with the response as well.

Down-to-earth nature:
Despite his stardom, Mahesh has been quite down to earth. He maintains that this is due to his ‘regular’ upbringing from his father superstar Krishna. He recalled how they used to travel in autos and kept life as normal as possible. Mahesh admitted that he lost out on one year of school due to his stint as a child artist. His father got worried and advised him to act only when he is older. So Mahesh went back to school.

Publicity & learning:
Mahesh reportedly confessed that in the start, the attention he got from people stressed him out and it took time for him to get used to it and feel relaxed. He adds that the place is amazing as there is opportunity to meet so many people and learn many things. The prince states that he is growing as a human being everyday.

Bollywood:
Mahesh makes it clear that it will take two years for him to step into Bollywood even if he wants it because of his ongoing projects. Currently, he is shooting for ‘The Businessman’ in Mumbai. He added that the response to ‘Dookudu’ is actually a miracle and this has given him more responsibilities. Apparently, the director is keen on doing the Hindi version with Mahesh but the price prefers to focus only on south for now.

Bollywood connection:
Mahesh mentioned that if at all he made his debut in Bollywood, it would be with a proper role and not through some side role. His connection to the circuit is his wife actress Namrata Shirodkar.

Marriage and popularity:
Mahesh stated that his marriage with Namrata didn’t affect his popularity and instead, it made him even more famous. He beamed with pride that after the birth of his son Gautham, his whole perspective changed. The prince beams with pride and mentions that once a person becomes a dad, he becomes a man.
 
That’s Mahesh Babu for you folks!!

Cherry, an iron leg in Upasana family?


Young hero Ram Charan Teja a.k.a Cherry must be very much excited to become the “damaad” of Apollo group chairman Pratap C Reddy’s family, but one wonders whether he has turned out to be an iron leg for them.
There is a talk that the Apollo family, which has the clean track record and high reputation in the business, has been in trouble in connection with the sensational 2G spectrum scandal ever since it has decided to invite Ram Charan Teja into the family by getting him married to Reddy’s granddaughter Upasana Kamineni.
On Monday, the Central Bureau of Investigation authorities raided the house of Suneetha Reddy, second daughter of Pratap C Reddy and director (finance) of the Apollo group and confiscated several documents pertaining to allotment of 2G spectrum to mobile service provider Aircel, of whom she was the chairperson in 2005. Suneetha happens to be the sister of Shobana Kamineni, mother of Upasana Kamineni.
On September 15, too, the CBI authorities reportedly grilled Suneetha in connection with the Aircel-Maxis deal involved in the 2G spectrum allotments. The CBI recorded her statement as part of the preliminary inquiry.
Suneetha has two more sisters – Prita Reddy and Sangeetha Reddy. While Prita is the group MD, Sangeetha is the MD of Apollo hospitals. Shobhana is the director (projects) of the group. One wonders whether the family is now viewing Cherry as an iron leg.

Mahesh The Business Man @ First Look


Wife Forces Mahesh Babu For Bollywood Entry

There was a time when Bollywood was meant to be the final destination for heroines from the south. But now, the trend has developed into the directors and slowly it has got onto the heroes as well. Now, it is heard that a wife has been forcing her hot husband to focus on an entry in Bollywood.

She is none other than Namrata and the man in focus is Mahesh Babu. Apparently, Mahesh came up with Hindi dialogues in his movie ‘Dookudu’. The overall appeal due to that was good. Now, it is heard that Namratha’s desire is to see her hubby in Bollywood.

However, another talk is that Mahesh is not comfortable with the idea of rolling out Hindi dialogues or making a mark in Bollywood. As such, director Sreenu Vaitla included those lines for fun since there was Mumbai backdrop. But then, the dialogues worked with good nativity. With this, Namratha is reportedly encouraging Mahesh Babu to focus on Bollywood.

Those who heard this say if Mahesh Babu thinks Bollywood is not a big deal at all and he can rock even there.

Jayasudha's Son Focusing On Movies

It is a common trend to see sons and daughters of actors taking the same line. And it is also common to see the senior actors doing their best to groom their children to become big stars. Right now, something like that is said to be happening at the household of senior actress Jayasudha.
Well, the talk is about Jayasudha’s son Nihar. Now, the striking thing about this lad is he stands at 6 feet 6 inches height which is an understatement of tall. There is no actor in the history of Indian cinema who holds that height.
Now, it is heard that Nihar has been focusing big time on his physique and is busy developing his muscles before he makes his debut.
Sources say that Nihar is open for any type of role and wants to prove himself as a versatile and natural performer like his mother. As such, Jayasudha is known as ‘Sahaja Nati’ so with Nihar taking his mother’s footsteps, it will be interesting to see how he would look with a muscular physique.

However, the movie is not progressing for various reasons, as per cine sources.
