One of the most talked about movies of the season is ‘Rajanna’ and there are two reasons for that. It has Nagarjuna arriving in a period film of sorts for the first time and secondly, the action sequences are directed by the tough taskmaster S S Rajamouli.Recently, the first trailer of the film was released and reactions have begun to flow. The cine analysts say “General public will connect with period backdrop films strongly but by putting the child sentiment in the trailer, it has brought down the graph. A trailer should show maximum impact with high octane action.”Another reaction from the public is “We are expecting this to be an action treat. The making looks good but content might be weak.” Those who heard this say it is not the feeling they should get but maintain that a trailer with a dose of sentiment attracts the mass audience quickly. Let us see how successful ‘Rajanna’ becomes.
When it comes to doing periodic roles or mythological roles, it takes a special approach and a different passion. Above all, it also requires a special appeal and body language to fit the role. So, a big discussion making rounds among few cine folks is, can victory Venkatesh make a good choice for that.So far, among the big 4, Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna, Nandamuri Balakrishna have donned roles in either genres but Venky has not. The best all saw was the role of a king in 'Nagavalli'. However, that didn't get much reception from the audience. So, the question is- does Venky suit roles of such genre?A source close to the star revealed "It is not that he doesn't suit. In fact, Venky has a strong passion to take up such roles. But usually, he gives priority to the distributors and producers and doesn't want to experiment with his image at their cost. However, if there is a strong script coming in, he will always welcome it."

While sources from Kareena's camp quash this as a rumour, inside sources from Bollywood vouch that the remuneration part is true.
The lifestyle of a heroine may come across like a life filled with glamour, glitz, money and fame but there is a hard reality to it.

Bhumika is one among the actresses who refused to team up with Mahesh, even though she has no film offers in her kitty at the moment.
