All the star heroes of Telugu Industry are competing with each other to wrap up the movies in hand such that they can give wholesale entertainment in summer. One such project is Prabhas' 'Rebel' and here is the 'Racha' news of it.
Prabhas' latest film under the direction of choreographer Lawrence has been in the offing for a while. Good news is that Lawrence is working day and night to finish the movie as soon as possible and with great quality. Rebel's fight-sequences are filmed at par with Racha's famously heard 'bamboo forest fight sequence.
Sources stated that Ramcharan has spent around 2 crores to cane this extraordinary fight sequence in some exotic forest locales of China. Now, Lawrence too wanted the same kind of rich fight for his movie, but has shot it traditionally at the famous 'Murari Temple' in Shamshabad. A unit member revealed that the fight came out very well and this stands as a brilliant piece of work till date among the best choreographed fights of Telugu cinema. One has to wait till the two films release to say who 'Racha' is and who is 'Rebel'!
Contrary to reports that Jai will be playing Vijay’s brother in Thuppaki, the film’s director has said that there is no truth in it. The director clarified that there is no brother role in the film, as mentioned by a section of the media.
Vijay plays the lead role with Kajal Agarwal as his arm candy. Jairam and Sathyan play important roles in this film. Harris Jayaraj is the music director.
Actress Trisha has always been known for her demure and decent roles be it Tollywood or Kollywood. Though she took a bold step recently by doing lip lock scenes in films like 'Teen Maar' and the Tamil film 'Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya' she has never crossed the line.
But all that is about to change and this is happening for the film 'Dammu' as per sources. It is heard that Trisha has decided to come up with a really bold avatar by wearing revealing outfits and indulging in strong romantic and intimate scenes.
Another talk is that Trisha is doing this to cover her age factor. However, sources close to the pretty starlet reveal nothing of that sort is happening and everything has been done aesthetically. They added that this is just a gossip and Trisha is immuned to such stuff. Only 'Dammu's release will reveal the true story.
Model turned actress, Amy Jackson walked the ramp as showstopper for designer Bhairavi Jaikishan during the Lakme Fashion Week. Amy went traditional, looking beautiful in a sari designed by Bhairavi.
Even though she's taken a sabbatical from Hindi films, Tabu might be seen in an item song for a forthcoming film.
Buzz is that the actress has been approached for a song in the Sonu Sood-Naseeruddin Shah starrer Maximum.
The producers have bought rights to a popular Telugu song Aa Ante Amalapuram, and will have Tabu perform toit. We are sure Tabu fans will be glad to see her back on the big screen.
To those who originally hail from Hyderabad this might sound familiar. Apparently, during the olden days of Hyderabad, not many used to show interest in watching films. Telugus are ok but others like the Parsis and Maharashtrians those who are settled in Hyderabad didn’t show that kind of interest.
However, things changed from the time of ‘Geetanjali’ and ‘Shiva’. The Maharashtrians, Parsis and other north Indians started to come and watch the Telugu films. Eventually patronization has increased. Now it is heard that for films of Mahesh Babu, Siddarth and Ram Charan they are coming.
But this is not the case for Junior NTR. Apparently, the three stars are enjoying the patronage of the non-Telugu settlers. Apart from the trio, if there is a big budget flick like ‘Arundhati’ or ‘Kochadaiyaan’ coming then they are coming to see. That way, it is heard that there is a lot of demand for Mahesh Babu among the Parsis and Maharashtrian communities.
A strong news has begun to make rounds about Mahesh Babu and a deal with producer Allu Aravind. Apparently, the buzz was that the prince of Tollywood was offered a whopping Rs 45 crore package wherein Mahesh has to do three projects under Geetha Arts banner.
Not only that, the news also mentioned that Mahesh had the privilege of choosing the scripts and directors. Now, the man incharge has come into the open to speak about it. He is Allu Sirish and he has given his reaction on Twitter.
Sirish reportedly mentioned a tweet which goes - Some false news being circulated about our co Geetha Arts' upcoming projects. We're not a corporate to give deals and contracts.
While Sirish has given the clear stand of Geetha Arts regarding this issue, it remains to be seen whether Mahesh will come with his statement as well.
Same kind of antics from the last ten years has surely bored the Telugu audiences regarding this mass-raja. Raviteja has opened his eyes at last, if sources are to be believed.
With 'Nippu' torture, audiences are no more able to watch the same histrionics of Ravi Teja. His mannerisms like over shouting, over emotions, head shaking and same 'goda meeda pidaka' steps are testing the patience of viewers. Finally, Raviteja is changing his style in an upcoming flick. Currently, he is acting in Puri Jaganadh's latest movie 'Devudu Chesina Manushulu', where his style and acting are completely re-defined.
According to a source, in the way Puri has remade Mahesh in Pokiri and Prabhas in Bujjigadu, he is doing that to Ravi now. 'Nippu' had opened the eyes of many people that only hero's 'regular mannerisms' and 'acting penchant' will not save a film until it is supported by a strong storyline and characterization. Time for few other star heroes also to pull out a leaf from Mass-Raja's book!
The search for a suitable replacement for Prakash Raj in Srikanth Addala’s Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu is on full throttle these days. We had earlier reported that Tamil actor Sathyaraj was called for a look test; however, the team was not satisfied with the look. The latest buzz is that Srikanth Addala and producer Dil Raju are in talks with popular Hindi actor Anupam Kher to play the role of Venkatesh, Mahesh Babu’s father in the film. Anupam Kher confirmed the news but added that nothing has been finalized yet. Meanwhile, the film will soon be shot in Ramoji Film City and Mahesh Babu is going to join the team again on March 12. Anjali and Samantha are playing the lead roles in this family entertainer. Mickey J Meyer is composing the music and KV Guhan is the cinematographer
NTR is all set to strike this summer with Dammu movie which is looking red hot right from the outset. The film's latest stills are only multiplying the expectations as NTR looks extremely powerful and determined in this film. His twirled moustache and matured looks are definitely going to be a big plus to portray this powerful character etched by Boyapati Srinu.
NTR, who once challenged the top league heroes like Chiranjeevi, has not been in that sort of form in the recent past. None of his recent releases did an alarming business at the box office. Dammu is expected to be NTR's film to set the box office on fire and put him in the 40 crore (minimum) club.
First look stills of Dammu are surely giving goose bumps to his fans and are sending shock waves among the other heroes fans. If Dammu lives up to the hype that is being generated now, sky will be the limit for it.

Despite scoring a hit, she is one of those beautiful heroines who struggle a lot to make their mark. Nitya Menon was earlier tangled with 'arrogance' issue that missed good berth in Tollywood and she hasn't learned from it, say critics.
Nitya Menon's life has been a hectic schedule shuttling between different channels' offices in Hyderabad. She should thank 'Ishq', which has given her second hit and a chance to resurrect. But Nitya looked like the same old sexy beauty spoiled by the stroke of arrogance again. Reacting to a question posed by media about the tips she got from ace cinematographer PC Sreeram, Nitya showed her 'intelligence'. 'I did my job and he has done his part well. Professionals don't really advice each other', she stressed. If you could read between the lines, PC Sreeram is a professional and his remarkable achievements always speak for him. Then, what is that Nitya is talking about herself.
A beauty of hardly two films describing her as a 'best' in acting is not working well with Tollywood critics. 'She still needs to correct her attitude. Though she downplayed that 'snake' for all these days, it is back once again after scoring a hit', a noted critic said. We have to see how will she deal with this!
When almost all the top league heroines are trying to sail in various boats at the same time, only Tamanna is sticking to Telugu film industry and has been rejecting all the offers from other film industries. Despite having hits like Happy Days and 100% Love to her credit, Tamanna failed to become the star in Tollywood.
Failures like Badrinath and Oosaravelli have turned out to be the obstacles in her way to stardom. However, Tamanna believes that this summer is going to change her fate forever. Tamanna has high hopes on Ram Charan's Racha, which is releasing shortly. Tamanna played an ultra glamorous role in this mass masala film.
Tamanna hopes that this film will make her the darling of masses. She is saying that Racha would be the biggest hit that she has been waiting for a longtime. Hence, Tamanna is not signing up any new films as she believes that her craze and paycheck will go up after the release of Racha. Therefore, she is playing the waiting game for now.
Kajal Agarwal is now all set to give feast for the Television viewers. No, the sexy siren is not doing any midnight shows on Television, but one of her movie is doing it for her.
Among all of Kajal's movies, Mahesh's 'Businessman' tops the list in terms of the oomph factor poured in. The sexy seductress was made to look much more erotic in the movie with red-hot thigh shows and sensuous cleavage peeks. The fish-eyed beauty raced the pulses of youth with her minis and lip-kiss.
However, most of the amusement is cut down by the censor board by blocking and blurring out the actual show of Kajal on silver-screen. But now, the makers have taken care that no such blurs are there in the Television telecast of the movie. Already, all songs of 'Businessman' are broadcasted on TVs without censor cuts only. Though it is an offence, it is definitely a feast for Kajal's oomph admirers.
Lawrence’s film career is a saga in determination. He began as a self taught dance master and graduated to an artiste who climbed the ranks to even star as a hero in a few films, not before he donned the Director’s hat for a Tollywood film. The movie “Mass” starring Nagarjuna even went on to become a commercial success. But after that high there was a lull in Lawrence’s directorial ambitions. It now looks like that has got a much-needed fill-up with Prabhas’s “Rebel.” As the title suggests Prabhas’s character is a rebel who does not hesitate to swim upstream if it means a few would benefit from his deeds. The framework has all the elements of a mass commercial cinema. Lawrence as is his wont is packing in the glitz with Deeksha Seth and Tamanna. On his part Prabhas has taken a calculated risk in placing his faith in Lawrence. Here is hoping that this move of his pays off
