No lip lock issues for Aditi!

Although she made her Bollywood debut with ’Delhi-6’, Aditi Rao Hydari got noticed in Sudhir Mishra’s ’Yeh Saali Zindagi’, not just for her performance but also because of her multiple kissing scenes with co-star Arunoday Singh. Now the actress says that she has problems doing intimate scenes.


"In ’Yeh Saali Zindagi’, all the kissing was completely valid, very organic to the film. I think it’s the intention behind whatever scene you put in the film and if that is an honest intention, it doesn’t upset either the viewer or the actor in any way," Aditi said. "If a film demands an intimate scene and there isn’t any, viewers will only feel what’s wrong with these people, which world do they live in? So sometimes it’s necessary and if it’s done beautifully, it’s lovely to watch and it’s fine," the actress said.


Aditi will be next seen in ’London Paris New York’ opposite Ali Zafar.

Happy Birthday ANR!

ANR perhaps is the one actor who can truly lay claim to the title of a living legend in “Tollywood.” 70 of his 88 years have been dedicated to acting. For sheer diversity of roles, this thespian has done it all. Lover boy, saint, father, grandfather, brother, lovelorn drunk, playboy and even God, there is not a single character under whose skin he has not slipped into. From the beginning, ANR has revealed himself to be a shrewd judge of a script and has done experimental roles long before such a phrase even existed in Tollywood.

In a recent interview to a regional daily, ANR revealed that he had told the late NTR not to take a plunge in politics and said that he loved living his life in peace. In a separate context he also revealed that he loved the idea of gundamma Katharine being remade with NTR jr and nag chaitanya and said that the true challenge would be finding an artiste suitable to play the role of gundamma. The actor who is currently playing a key role in Srirama RajyAm said that he will continue acting as long as his health permits.
Filmnews.co.in wishes ANR a Very Happy Birthday.

Mahesh The Business Man Press Release

Madatha Kaja Dominates Oosaravelli Audio!

One hero is becoming more solid day by day by competing with all star heroes in all possible ways. Say releasing movie on time, recovering the budget of producer or giving audiences the much needed relief inside a theatre, this tall hero is better than many.
Comedy hero Allari Naresh is the man we are talking about and his latest ready for release movie MADATHA KAJA is the point of discussion. With no fear of going unnoticed, Naresh managed to release his latest movie's audio on par with Junior NTR's OOSARAVELLI. While Junior's movie audio received a mixed response, Naresh's music is getting a positive and hit talk. The work of new comer, music director Srivasanth is really appealing and has a touch of Thaman's beat and Mani Sharma's melody. Reports say that a strong promotion will help Naresh to garner more openings as he is also standing tall in the Dasara race. The 'sweet' taste of this MADATHA KAJA is surely worrying Junior NTR's insect OOSARAVELLI. The decision of Surender Reddy to change the music-captain from Thaman to Devi Sri Prasad in the last minute is getting proved costly.

Why Mahesh Babu Following Only 1 ?

The Twitter network is one site where many follow each other for various reasons. The essence of Twitter actually works on that fundamental. However, many are thinking that Prince Mahesh Babu doesn’t believe in that. The reason for that is an observation at the number of people he follows on Twitter.

There is only one name. That is Jay Galla, brother-in-law of Mahesh and the Managing Director of Amara Raja Batteries. Now, the talk is “Mahesh has more than 2 lakh followers but he is following only one person. Why like that? Is he thinking that his image will get spoiled if he follows someone?”
 Another version is “If Mahesh is thinking how a celebrity like him can follow others then he is making a mistake. True admiration and appreciation comes from a fan to an actor only on modesty and humility. Being called as the Prince, he should know that social networking is all about interacting and learning from different people.” Wonder what Mahesh has to say to all this.

Mahesh Dookudu Latest Trailer @ Exclusive

Mahesh Babu Telangana connection in Dookudu

Mahesh Babu who has experimented with his style of dialog delivery in the film Khaleja, is coming up with yet another different modulation in Dookudu. Mahesh will speak in various accents in this movie. His character is designed in a very different way from his previous characters in it.

Mahesh will be seen in an MLA getup in Dhookudu for some time. He will speak in Telagana dialect in this getup. This will be a big surprise as Mahesh is not associated with such things in the past. Mahesh character will be equally entertaining and funny as that of Brahmanandam and MS Narayana in it.
Samantha is the heroine in this film that is directed by Srinu Vytla. Dookudu is all set for Sep 23rd release. The buzz around this film is bigger as it nears the big day.

Why Venky, Mahesh make likely combo ?

Before the stage is set for the launch of Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu, Venkatesh and Mahesh Babu are likely to share camaraderie so that it translates into bonhomie during the making of the film.  Probably, driven by this desire, Venkatesh made it a point to meet Mahesh Babu on the sets of Dookudu.  The latter was shooting for the film and it was the last day of the shoot.


Since this also happens to be the first true multi-starrer of our generation, the expectations are sky high.  The task of the director (Srikanth Addala) and the producer (Dil Raju) will be much more easy if two big stars get along well on the sets, without leaving a scope for ego clashes.  Thankfully, both the stars are down-to-earth persons who are not known to act pricey. Both the stars have a clean image and usually don't get into controversies.  Above all, they are thorough professionals who respect their commitments.


Looks like the combination is perfect and Dil Raju should thank the stars for the initial success of getting Venky and Mahesh sign the film.

Two powerhouse roles from Pawan Kalyan

Gabbar Singh is currently being shot on Pawan Kalyan and others at a house set erected at Kokapet.  Re-creating the pastoral touch, is the house set where SS Rajamouli shot Maryada Ramanna.  For the first time perhaps in his career, Pawan is found juggling the shoots of two films at once - Gabbar Singh and the untitled film being directed by Vishnuvardhan, though the latter is off the location for the moment.


It is expected that Shruthi Haasan will join the shoot soon.  Directed by Harish Shankar, the film sees Ajay reprising the role of Arbaaz Khan in Dabangg. More than his immediate forthcoming film, Gabbar Singh has more hype around it.  It goes without saying that it has to do much with the mass elements in the script. Vishnuvardhan's film will help create a ground for Harish Shankar's movie in a sense.  The film by the former is an action-significant film.  Looks like Power Star is going to deliver two back-to-back powerhouse performances.

Manch Manoj becomes Balakrishna Alludu?

Well, we have revealed in the past how Nandamuri family is closely related to Manchu Mohan Babu’s family, which indirectly established a relationship between Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu and former Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy. Now, the Nandamuri and Manchu family are getting further closer, if reports from Tollywood are to be believed.  

According to these reports, Manchu Manoj, the younger son of Mohan Babu is all set to marry Tejaswini, the younger daughter of Nandamuri Balakrishna.

At present, the marriage proposal is at the talks level.Earlier, Manoj had proposed to bubbling actress Charmi, but that was shot down by an angry Mohan Babu. Now, Mohan Babu was looking for an alliance with Nandamuri family by getting Manoj married to Balaiah’s daughter. Manoj, to, had evinced interest in the proposal. Currently, Tejaswini is in the final year of her B.Tech. She is expected to be married once her studies are complete. On the other hand, Manoj has proved himself as an actor though he has not scored a big hit. Moreover, Manoj and Jr NTR are thick friends. So, many are saying it is a perfect alliance. According to sources, Manoj and Tejaswini had met a couple of times in the recent past and had developed interest in each other. So, maybe the day is not far to hear the big announcement from the big families.

Chiru's Second-Hand Taste For Charan!

A noted notion in TFI is Chiru likes all second hand things only. Whether it is Paruchuri Brothers, Anjala Jhaveri, Devi Sri Prasad or VV Vinayak, all got an offer to work with Megastar only after proving somewhere else.
According to grapevine, the same taste is now can be seen in young megapower star Ram Charan too. Insiders revealed that Ram Charan don't want to go with any fresher now and is keen on working with successful technicians only. Mega family except Powerstar Pavan Kalyan never had a history of working with freshers and giving chance to the enthusiasts. Even for ace dance master Lawrence, Chiru gave the opportunity only when Lawrence proved the mettle in others flicks. Reports says that Chiru and Ram Charan are finalizing Surender Reddy and Boyapati Seenu to direct Ram Charan after he completes his RACHA. Cine observes are saying Mega family should change their ways giving opportunity to young and energetic freshers. These are the days where freshers are giving best hits and recovering the investments of the producers rather than the experienced seniors !

Richa's 'cheppu debba' to Shruti Haasan

Shruti Haasan is inarguably the fastest growing star in South at the moment. She has a horde of films with prominent stars lined up and she would definitely be a strong contender to the number one spot in the coming days. Seems like, that has already got into her head and is behaving like a 'big star'. She is treating other young actresses as if they are nothing compared to her.

Here is one example for Shruti's arrogance. Richa Gangopadhyay of Mirapakay fame formally greeted Shruti on Twitter and Shruti's reply to her is 'Who is this Richa?' It is not a big deal for anybody on Twitter to see one's profile and know the details about them. But Shruti replied to Richa as if she doesn't know her at all to which the latter came up with a strong reply.

"This is the Richa who's sharing your costar (Dhanush) currently, doing the same film as u (in tamil, Dabangg Tamil remake) with my previous director (Harish Shankar)!" Richa replied to her. Though it looks simple, this post has a strong statement to convey. This says that 'I am as good as you and you are just equal to me'. Shruti, who didn't expect such a reply from Richa immediately came down to her senses and greeted her in a proper way. That is what we call 'Cheppu tho kottinattu samadhanam ivvadam' in Telugu.

Ram Charan cheats loyal follower

Ram Charan, who is currently busy with Racha will do his next film on Dil Raju's banner says the buzz. This movie will be directed by Brindavanam fame Vamsi Paidipally. Charan heard single line story and gave a nod to Vamsi, who is currently developing it into a full script. Charan promised to do this film for another producer but finally gave it to Dil Raju.

The producer who tried for Ram Charan's dates is none other but Ghanta Srinivasa Rao, loyal follower of Chiranjeevi and also PRP MLA. Charan promised to do his fifth film to Srinivasa Rao long back and also tried to rope in Krishna Vamsi as the director. But that project never took off as Charan's Orange was delayed. Charan dropped the idea of working with Krishna Vamsi and Ghanta Srinivasa Rao came forward to produce Pydipalli Vamsi film. Charan made a promise to him at that time but now this project is completely in Dil Raju hands. Will he ever keep his promise and do a film for Ghanta is to be seen.

RGV's next with Poonam Pandey

The very mention of the name is sufficient to raise eyebrows and flare up the nostrils for some. And for others, the name is like an addiction. We are talking about Ram Gopal Varma and news is that this controversy's favourite child is likely to throw a bouncer at M S Dhoni and cricket lovers. Well, reports are arriving that Ramu is now working on coming up with a new movie on the backdrop of cricket. Apparently, the zero victory tour of England that Dhoni and his boys had is the key inspiration for Ramu. And here is the best part, grapevine is strong that Ramu is looking at Poonam Pandey to do a key role. Given the backdrop, many are failing to understand where Poonam fits in. Given Ramu's brilliance, he knows how to fit the balls and bats in the right place.

Pranathi takes full control of NTR

NTR's unfriendly behavior with Tamanna at Oosaravelli audio launch has become the hot topic in tinsel town now. Tamanna is known as one of the most friendly and extremely cooperative heroines in Tollywood. She is good friend of every actor she starred with and she is probably one of the very few heroines who have good relations with other female stars too.

NTR is usually a very friendly person too. But why did he shy away from Tamanna? Various reasons are being heard but this is one point which is catching the attention of curios ears. It is believed that NTR's 'distance' from Tamanna was because of his wife Pranitha, who followed the event live on television. NTR is aware of it and maintained safe distance from Tamanna as his hand shake or a share of joke would raise doubts in his non-celeb wife.

NTR is friendly with Tamanna on the sets and they are having good fun, say unit sources. That is why Tamanna was so shocked to see NTR behaving so rude and unfriendly with her. Rumor has it that he consoled his 'friend' on phone after they left the venue. Seems like Pranitha is having her husband in full control, err... at least when he is attending public functions.

Tamil Thambis 'Shaking' Because Of Bunny!!

Allu Arjun may not be a star at the box office right now but he sure is a star among the masses. Now, he is spreading his charm not just in Andhra Pradesh but also in the neighbouring Tamil Nadu. Reports are arriving that the Tamil Thambis and Selvis are shaking because of Bunny. Well, news is that Bunny is the brand ambassador for the 7Up soft drink not just in Andhra Pradesh but also in Tamil Nadu.

Usually, the local stars are roped in for such assignments but then Bunny has made his mark as a flamboyant personality which has led the company to have him there as well. Already, Bunny is a big name in Kerala through his films like ‘Arya’ and ‘Badrinath’. Recently, he was heard quipping that he would do a Malayalam film too. But with 7Up ad in Tamil land, it remains to be seen whether Bunny will sport a lungi and entertain the Tamil Makkal (people).

Parvathi's 'Dookudu' Look Gives Red Wine Kick!!!

As the clock is ticking for the most talked about movie ‘Dookudu’ to arrive, more than Mahesh Babu frenzy, another mania has begun. This is due to the first look of a sexy heroine. We are talking about Parvathi Melton and recently, the first still of her new look was unveiled. Parvathi, fondly known as the red wine beauty, has done an item song in ‘Dookudu’ and the track goes ‘Puvvai puvvai annadu auto apparao…’. The music is by Thaman and sources say it is more like a club song in retro style. Those who saw the first look of Parvathi say “It is like getting a kick after having red wine”.

The song is already creating ripples in Andhra Pradesh and with Parvathi’s new look unveiled, the craze has doubled. Though she was off the radar for a while, it looks like Parvathi is back and that too with a bang. Enjoy the kick of this red wine beauty folks!!
