From the time Puri Jagannadh has announced the title of his new movie with Pawan Kalyan, the reactions have been quite high. Well, the offbeat title is ‘Cameraman Ganga Toh Rambabu’ and it is evident that Pawan would be Rambabu. But now, the focus has shifted towards another person ie Cameraman Ganga.
A noted news channel has reported that the person doing that character is none other than Aishwarya Bachchan. Apparently, sources say Puri has been trying his best to rope in Aish for the role and if that happens, it would be the gorgeous diva’s debut in Tollywood.
Having worked with Amitabh Bachchan and building a strong rapport with Abhishek Bachchan, Puri Jagannadh has reportedly impressed the Bachchan household. As a result, many are feeling that the buzz about Aish becoming Cameraman Ganga looks very much possible. If that works, then it will be a dream combo to see Pawan and Aish together onscreen…
The million dollar question which was making rounds since a while was about Akkineni Akhil and his debut. Though he was seen as a toddler in ‘Sisindri’ many felt he would take up professional cricket given his talent. Recently, Akhil also showed his mettle by being part of the Celebrity Cricket League (CCL) tournament.
Now, it is heard that Akhil himself has announced his arrival. Apparently, the handsome teen has reportedly mentioned that he is very much interested in acting and hailing from a family of actors, it would be a waste of opportunity. However, he maintained that he is keen on completing his BBA.
Currently, Akhil is doing his BBA in the USA. And for the semi-final of CCL, he flew all the way from US to be part of it. Now that Akhil has made his announcement, it is clear that the Indian cricket team has lost a valuable player but it remains to be seen how much Akhil will score at the box office.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Monday reveals that the Indians had stored over $500 billion (approx. 24.5 lakh crore) of illegal money in banks abroad.
"Around USD 500 billion of illegal money has been invested by the Indians in foreign banks. Indians were also the largets depositors in Swiss Banks. Surprisingly, most of these illegal money was stored in 53 per cent of the countries, which were termed as least corrupt by the Transparency International Index. The illegal money has flown to the banks in Switzerland, Mauritius, Lichtenstein, New Zealand, British Virgin islands etc. In most cases the money will be shifted to Dubai/Singapore/Mauritius and from there it would be go to Switzerland or some other tax havens," said CBI Director AP Singh.
"Collecting the details about these illegal transactions is a time taking process, as we have to send judicial requests to the countries first, seeking their help. The asset recovery is a very complex issue, as it is requires expertise, language barriers while dealing with other countries, costly process and political will," he added.
The global financial markets provide the facility to tansfer the money faster to different parts of the world and this might make things even more difficult for the Investigation officers.
Indian opener Gautham Gambhir has taken a dig at batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar. If you can't believe it, take a look at the story below...
Reacting to the question about the Rotation Policy, Gambhir backed the decision of the Indian team management. "This was the best XI too. For me, the best XI is the people who had the belief that they can beat any opposition on that given day. And this playing XI had the belief that they can beat Australia in Australia. So for me, One or two individuals can’t make the difference and this was the best playing XI. It's not about names. You don't want names, you want people who can deliver," said Gambhir, after India's win against Australia.
Sachin was the only big names in the team who was dropped from the playing XI for the ODI against Australia. Indian team management's decision to drop Sachin has not gone down well with the spectators, critics and the selectors. All of them questioned, what's the need of dropping a player like Sachin?
May be the criticism on dropping Sachin has angered Gambhir. The left-hander might be fearing that he and Sehwag will be made scapegoat, to allow Sachin play all the ODIs.
Sachin, Sehwag and Gambhir are part of the Rotation Policy. The team management planned that atleast one of these three played should be dropped from the playing XI for each ODI, to give opportunities for youngsters like Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina.
Gambhir didn't even spare Team India skipper Dhoni, who took the match against Australia till the last over. "I don't know why he (Dhoni) delayed and took it till the last over. May be, he wanted somebody else to take the responsibility. If I was there, I would have finished it one or two overs before," he told.
The South Indian Star Namitha had huge fan following independent of her movie results. The name itself had huge hits on internet.

Flop lover-boy is making leafy sounds again with his upcoming flick. Unlike his previous films, this movie garnered no good hype though Siddharth is trying a lot.
Coming to the point, most of Siddharth's flicks are known for their poster beauty. Take it BOMMARILLU or OYE or BAAVA. The vibrant colors, polished faces and love themes are predominant attraction in them. But this time, like the name of the film, the posters are also a 'failure', says a critic. Siddharth's LOVE FAILURE posters are looking all pale and not so artistic to woo youngsters is the opinion of many. In some posters, Sid is looking old and Amala Paul is seen young and vice-versa in a few. Well, there said to be a technical reason behind this.
Generally graphic-designers conceive special photo-shoots for posters to give a different 'feel' to the artwork. However, this time they have used the photos shot during movie-making to create LOVE FAILURE posters. Got the point! Siddharth is the producer of this movie folks and hence this budget control, it seems.
Nandamuri Natasimham Balakrishna is currently on his toes looking at the way he has been signing films. Now, it is heard that one of his new projects has a link of sorts with his earlier films. We are talking about the new movie being directed by Ravi Chavali and produced by Ramesh Puppala.
Sources say the film has got a title and it has been named as 'Srimannarayana'. If you can recall, this was the name that Balayya used for his role as a lecturer in the blockbuster hit 'Simha'. However, though the title is soft, the film is said to be filled with high adrenaline action and punch dialogues.
On the other hand, Balayya is flanked by the red wine beauty Parvathi Melton along with the endearing smile beauty Isha Chawla. To those who love glamour and visual feast, what more can they ask for. All in all, a pure commercial potboiler masala looks strong on the cards with this.
Photo cards of MegaPowerstar RamCharan that are released the other day have created a sensation in Tollywood. Everywhere it is the topics of those stills from Charan-Vinayak's movie and here is the 'Khaidi' remake talk regarding it.
In fact, the movie's shooting was started all of a sudden shocking many admirers of RamCharan. With RACHA nearing a finish and this movie getting ready immediately, fans are on cloud nine for sure. Reports are saying that this film is a remake and modern adaptation of MegaStar Chiranjeevi's mega blockbuster KHAIDI. As director V.V.Vinayak is known for etching such outdated operas as unique masterpieces with his power-packed punch, people are saying that this gossip may be true. Crafted with a penchant for mass-manias, Vinayak's brilliant screenplay always earned him accolades.
On the other hand, Charan's angry and powerful look with trademark Chiru's khaidi 'eyes' in those pictures are giving no other thought but KHAIDI. Watch this space for more interesting updates.

Chennai Rhinos led by Vishal emerged the champions of the second edition of the Celebrity Cricket League. In the finals played at Hyderabad on Sunday, the team scored a thrilling two ruin victory over Karnataka Bulldozers.
Batting first, Chennai posted 161 run in 20 over’s thanks to splendid 95 runs by Vikranth. In replay though Karnataka lost three quick wickets, Dhruv and Karthik scored quick runs. When Chennai was considered out, a splendid last over by Vikranth helped Chennai emerge winners.
Says Vishal, ' I am ecstatic. Chennai Rhinos have won two in a row now. I credit the boys for a splendid show. ‘I dedicate this victory for our team owner GKR, he said. Vikranth was adjudged man of the finals.
Till now, ‘Robot’ of Rajinikanth is rated as the highest ever budgeted flick in South India or few may call it even on Indian screen. Though unofficial, it is almost confirmed that Universal Star Kamal Hasan and Hollywood Star jackie chan are to join hands working together for a multi-lingual project to be produced by Ascar Ravichandran of Ascar films.
Here is the latest buzz. As soon as Kamal completes shooting of his new film ‘Vishwaroopam’ currently on sets, he will jump on to Ascar Films venture. Remuneration which jackie chan is offered for working on this tentatively titled ‘Thalaivan Irukkindraan’ is something around Rs.40 Crores and total budget of the film is Rs.200 Crores which Kamal himself will be directing. Movie will be released in Tamil, English, Telugu and other European languages.
‘Magadheera’ brought Ramcharan all of the sudden into Number Game. Thanks to SS Rajamouli for up-to-date presentation of Mega Power Star. Contrary to this master piece work, ‘Orange’ could not fulfill the hype and was a dud declared. Then on, Cherry boy stumbled for a perfect storyline until he met young director Sampat Nandi. Rest is rigorous work put into making of ‘rachcha’ which is getting ready for release very soon.
An inner source committed saying, ‘this will be a big boon for Charan to come back strongly competing with other heroes of his eon. He took a big gap and that should be better utilized. ‘rachcha’ is a golden chance to throw a strong challenge because movie has enough commercial ingredients to strike a chord with audience in general and Fans in particular.’ Wish that audio release function planned in coming days will give a further boost to film.
Ever since, Praja Rajyam Party lost the general elections, no public function from Mega family heroes has been occurred. Industry hit 'Magadheera' also couldn't get a chance to have its public function done.
Mega heroes realized the importance of doing a public function for 'Rachcha' audio as it seems. Learning 'Rachcha's audio would be a Mega event, Mega fans from all over the state felt no bounds of their joy. It is reliably learnt that not only from Kurnool district but also from Kadapa, Chittoor and Ananthapur districts of Ceded area, Ram Charan's fans will take part in the function. Entire Mega family is likely to appear on the stage. Stay tuned for next updates
Balakrishna's Adhinayakudu movie has hit roadblock due to financial problems and the film to see light seems highly unlikely for the moment. Producer ML Kumar Chowdary ran into deep financial trouble and at least 10 crore rupees are needed to bail this film out.
Kumar Chowdary made this film when he is already in big soup. He expected this film to get instant craze following Simha. Sadly, that didn't happen. With Parama Veera Chakra and Sri Rama Rajyam biting dust at the box office, prospects of Adhinayakudu have further dimmed as there is neither a star director nor crazy heroine in it.
Kumar Chowdary lost every penny spent on his previous film Bava and all the money that he has spent on Adhinayakudu has been stuck for a while. Sources say that Chowdary isn't getting help from industry circles and Balakrishna is not in a mood to bail him out. So Adhinayakudu will need a miracle to see light. After all 10 crore rupees isn't a joke, is it?
After taking over the reins of news channel Studio N from Nara Lokesh, Jr NTR came up with a plan to launch an entertainment channel. But looking at the developments, Young Tiger might call off his plans. Junior expressed the same thing with his close coterie saying it's not a good idea to launch a new channel, when the existing channel is in doldrums.
As part of the cost cutting measures, Jr NTR's successfully managed to bring down the monthly budget of the Studio N channel from Rs 1 crore to Rs 50 lakhs. Except on a couple of occasions (NTR-Lakshmi Pranathi's marriage announcement day and on the day of their marriage), the TRP Ratings never looked encouraging. The channel management has failed to cash in on the popularity of NTR and also didn't come up with innovative programs to outshine other channels. Studio N's failure is surely a nightmare for NTR.
"We can't blame NTR for the present state of the channel. Right from the start, Studio N neither attracted the audience with it's content nor with the presentation. It started at zero, continued at zero and ended at zero," said a source close to the star.
"NTR feels anything he touches will turn into gold. Atleast now, he should stop dreaming and face the reality. Lokesh might have bailed Studio N out of troubles, if given chance," said an TDP supporter.
Going by the adage 'Failures Are The Stepping Stones For Success', let's hope NTR comes out of the failures and join the success streak soon!!!
Superstar Mahesh Babu's recent outing Businessman has been always in the news for good/bad reasons. But this time the makers of the film has run into some serious problems for violating the norms of Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and Cinematograph Act (certification of films for exhibition).
Reportedly, the makers applied for the clearance of the title 'The Businessman' from CBFC, and the board has approved it. The Andhra Pradesh Film Chamber of Commerce (APFCC) even cleared the registration of the film title as 'The Businessman' on January 1, 2011. But the word 'The' was intentionally avoided in the publicity posters, teasers and other marketing material of the film.
As per the sources, the makers had submitted a sample of publicity posters with full title to the CBFC for certification. The change in title is a case of misleading the officials for their personal benefits and will be treated as an offence. If found guilty, the makers will be punishable up to three years of imprisonment along with a hefty fine.
After claiming that Businessman broke all the existing records to become the biggest grosser in 81-year-old history of Tollywood, now the makers might break another record if they face the imprisonment for violating the norms. Mahesh has already done his job and now his producers (RR Movie Makers - Venkat, Achi Reddy) are gearing up for the battle. Records are meant to be broken, Right!!!
