Akkineni and Daggubati heroes fail!

The younger generation heroes from Akkineni and Daggubati families have been failing time and again to impress. Rana Daggubati's latest film Naa Ishtam turned out to be a dud, and moreover it is a big letdown when it comes to Rana's acting skills. Rana proved that he cannot carry a commercial film on his shoulders. Any other able hero would have made Naa ishtam a watchable fare. 

                Unless he comes up with an extra ordinary show in his future ventures, Rana Daggubati cannot win the faith of audience. Young Akkineni hero Naga Chaitanya is better than Rana in few aspects, but he too needs to sharpen his skills to be considered as an actor to watch out for. He is at home while portraying roles of boy next door in the films YMC and 100% Love. 

                Naga Chaitanya failed to impress when he did larger than life roles in Bezawada and Dhada. He is yet to prove as a commercial mass hero and with what we watched of him till now it would be a daunting task for the youngster to impress as a mass hero. Maybe these heroes should first concentrate upon banking on their skills and attempt mass films after few years.

For this, it is heard that he is looking at Kollywood star Vikram as the hero. If you can recall, both Shankar and Vikram teamed up for the blockbuster hit Aparachitudu. For now, no formal announcement has been made regarding the project and Shankar is reportedly busy preparing the script. Let us see how this goes.

Telugu Girls Sidelined By Brazil Beauty

When a hot sensation takes over a place, ultimately the previous sirens have to run back to pavilion. Two such Telugu girls, who anticipated high hopes, are now upset with Brazilian chic's entry!

Apparently, Lakshmi Manchu and Madushalini expected huge fame after signing Ram Gopal Varma's upcoming Hindi flick 'Department'. Both these babes made media carry huge stories about them for their roles in that movie. However, after the release of trailer, many people have forgotten about them as they got no show in that pre-release buzz. The other day director Ramu released another teaser featuring Brazilian model Nathalia Kaur. Given his liking for hot women and curvaceous bodies, Ramu is said to be promoting Nathalia a lot, but neglecting our Telugu girls. 

Maybe it is okay for Lakshmi, as she is having Mani Ratnam's film on hand, which is a better one than these entire flicks. But, Madhushalini should be upset as she is having no work in hand other than 'Department'.

Mahesh to shake leg with Kajal again

Prince Mahesh Babu and the saucy seductress Kajal Agarwal showed exceptional screen chemistry in their recent release Businessman. Now, it is heard that the duo is pairing up once again to repeat the act. This is happening for the new movie which is being directed by the psychological director Sukumar. The song shooting will be taking place at the famous Annapurna Studios and the choreographer for this would be Prem Rakshit. The music is composed by the talented Devi Sri Prasad.

Rajinikanth reveals truth about '3'

A strong grapevine was making rounds since the last few days that superstar Rajinikanth has got a business interest in the recent release 3. Sources said that the superstar was taking care of the distribution of the film in Andhra Pradesh. However, the man himself came into the open and replied. He has conveyed through his spokesperson that he has nothing to do with the film and has requested the distributors not to buy any such talk. This is directed by Aishwarya Dhanush and has the seductive beauty Shruti Haasan along with Dhanush.

Bloody Fights Between Mega and Mahesh Fans

Nellore, Narthaki Centre has become witness for the clashes of Megastar's and Superstar's fans. Reports say that 'records' are the reason for the conflicts between these two fan groups.

When overwhelmed fans of Ram Charan tried to erect flexi-sign board, which state the records of his recent movie 'Racha', Mahesh Babu's admirers obstructed it. They too wanted to erect another sign board that claims all 'Racha' records are bogus and only 'Dookudu' 'Businessman' records are true. With a fight erupting between the two groups, their supporters joined at large to make it a big scene, which eventually led to fighting with sticks. Police have turned up at the scene on time and have taken situation under control according to reports. 

Film Nagar is shocked with these happenings in Nellore and big-wigs are saying that fans are going over-board in promoting their heroes. Let us hope stars will interfere into the matter and cool down the issue.

Hot Heroine Denies 1 Crore Rumors

From a couple of days, remunerations of our top stars have become the topic of industry. All this started when Priyanka Chopra's people raked the issue of her ransom, which they say is more than Mega Powerstar's.

Bollywood sources have already confirmed that RamCharan is getting paid 12 crores for 'Zanjeer' and Priyanka will be packing 5.5 crores only. Coming to the point, it is widely believed that south sirens Anushka, Nayantara, Ileana and Kajal have joined one crore club long back. But, Sexy Anushka has denied that she is demanding a crore. A close source to Anushka says that Tamil industry never pays remunerations as much as they are paid in Telugu circuit. 'Right now, she is accepting Tamil offers at a cost below that what all you expect', the source adds. 

Reports indicate that Tollywood is the only place after Bollywood among Indian film circuits to pay such whopping sums as remuneration. A heroine who demands more than 80 lakhs here is getting paid only 35 lakhs in Kannada circuit and 20-30 lakhs in Malayalam. Unlike Bollywood, our heroes and heroines never revealed the true figure they demand!

Mass Maharaja Raviteja enters politics!

Raviteja, who is fondly known as Mass Maharaj, is all set to enter politics! No, he is not entering into 'real' politics, but will be seen doing 'reel' politics. Raviteja plays the role of a minister in the movie Daruvu. This film is a socio fantasy made in the lines of Yamudiki Mogudu. Director Shiva of Souryam fame is directing it.

Although politics sound a bit serious concept for a Raviteja's film, the director treated the movie in a comic fashion it seems. Raviteja will be at his energetic best in this socio fantasy comedy. Taapsee is playing the female lead. The buzz from film nagar says that Raviteja is going to take digs at politics and politicians in Daruvu in his own inimitable style.

Raviteja, who has been running through rough patch for a while is expecting Daruvu to give him a break from the flop streak. As per insider's talk the film has come out well and has ample elements to impress the masses and Raviteja fans. So dear folks buckle up for Raviteja's fun ride. 

Real Cause For 'Rebel' Delay!

Contrary to the much publicized reason for the delay of 'Rebel', Lawrence is not the man behind this snail's pace of the movie production. Insiders revealed surprising elements about this flick, which is expected for this summer.

Prabhas 'Rebel' seems to have some muhurtam problems like our state Chief Minister and is flying all possible ways to get delayed. While Lawrence's health issues are just a fraction in delay, milky beauty Tamanna's dates are said to be the primary cause. 'Tamanna's dates are the biggest issue behind the delay of Rebel. She allocated 'jumping' dates to us and has never finalized a perfect set', says a unit member. Tamanna allocated dates to 'Racha' and 'Endukante Premanta' in parallel and there started the entire nexus. 

Right now, she is on 'Rebel' till the end of May and the producers made her sign an agreement that she will push herself into any other movie. That's why she has left the opportunity of shaking her booty beside Mahesh Babu. We wonder, the sufferer in this entire gamble is our rebel star Prabhas, who is having no release from last one year.

Rajamouli Absent & Silent @ Powerstar

Ace director Rajamouli, is the perfect and honest admirer of Powerstar Pawan Kalyan among the elite circle of Telugu directors. Now, he is neither present at 'Gabbar Singh' audio nor talking about it. Absent & Silent!

Rajamouli is an avid cine buff and makes his presence felt at almost all the top grade film functions of Tollywood. However, his absence at 'Gabbar Singh' audio has certainly disappointed some of his fans. But, insiders have put down the fire saying that he is busy with 'Eega' CG work. 'As it is getting common for every film function to invite Rajamouli, the makers have not insisted him to come, and he is also busy with Eega', a source said. 

Even then, Jakkanna rambles on his twitter about the audio and its quality, but that didn't happened. May be Rajamouli is not getting time to listen to 'Gabbar Singh' audio, else he would have rocked his social networking site by now by praising Pawan in all possible ways.

Charan facing biggest challenge of his career

Ram Charan feels stepping into Amitabh Bachchan's shoes with the remake of iconic film Zanjeer is the biggest challenge of his life. "Till now, dealing with being Megastar Chiru's son has been a challenge. But that's nothing when compared with what I'm facing at present," said Charan, when asked how he feels to play the role portrayed by India's biggest star nearly four decades ago.

The young actor is not bothered about the comparisons being drawn between him and Big B. "All through my career, I have gone through constant comparisons. If I think about how I'll be compared with my father or Amit Ji, I wouldn't be able to get into the skin of the character. I just did the things that I'm good at and what came naturally to me," he told.

The Magadheera star says language doesn't matter much and clarified that he sees debuting into Bollywood as just like an extension of what he is already doing.

Milky Babe charges Rs 60 lakhs for 6 days & 6 nights

Milky white beauty Tamanna has replaced Genelia in promoting a soft drink brand 'Fanta' in the Southern region.

Till recently, Genelia has been endorsing the brand. After her marriage with long-time boyfriend Riteish Deshmukh, the soft drink major Coca Cola has decided to replace her with another beauty who can pull it off, instead of renewing the agreement. Finally, the company has roped in Tamanna as their new brand ambassador.

"I'm very selective, when it comes to endorsing a product or a brand. I prefer the brands which suit my image and age. This is a good opportunity to stay in touch with my fans," said Tamanna, when quizzed about the deal.

For a six day call sheet per year, Tamanna will be paid a staggering Rs 60 lakhs. Depending on the requirements, the company will use the services of actress during this period either for promotions or for photoshoots of the brand. With this deal, Tamanna has entered into the list of Top League brand ambassadors. Looks like, She is already enjoying the fruits of 'Racha' success. 

Censor Dhanalaxmi Closed Eyes On 'Racha'

For folks who are new, Dhanalaxmi is a half Telugu, half Tamil Censor officer for AP Censor board. She is known for her 'sharp cutting' works which give tensions to producers and directors. But, her attitude towards 'Racha' became a hot discussion now.

Dhanalaxmi is known for her iron cutting in terms of heroine's waist, navel and cleavage shots. Films like 'Buisnessman' and 'Panjaa' haven't escaped from her scissors and had blurred images all over the skin shows of female artists. Coming to 'Racha', the film was given a U/A certificate saying that all bloodshed was completely eliminated. Then, what about Tamanna's seductive skin shows? Milky beauty made most of her assets pierce the hearts of youth through her glamour on screen.

 In 'Vaana Vaana' song alone Tammu babe oscillates her waist and hip, around three times in front of camera giving an ample view of her shapely back. 'How come Dhanalaxmi spared such a hot show of Tamanna in 'Racha' by closing her eyes', a big-shot producer questioned. They say, this officer doesn't like cleavage and navel show, but bare-backs are fine with her. 

Kajal's Crocodile Tears For Telugu Industry

Sexy Kajal Agarwal knows better about how to make hay when the sun shines. The saucy seductress took her time to reveal her true colors when it comes to Telugu industry.
 
Like most of the Bombay girls who debut in a b-grade hindi movie and rise to fame down South, Kajal is no exception. After scoring few points with 'Lakshmi Kalyanam' and 'Chandamama', she moved to top spot with 'Magadheera'. As they say, distant mountains are smooth, Kajal was never satisfied with the stardom she had it here and always ran for Bolly opportunities. In pursuit of success, she even posed topless for a magazine and created hulchul in the nightlife of Mumbai. 

After she made some hasty remarks against South Industry when she scored a hit in Bollywood, Telugu producers took it seriously, for which she has corrected her words saying 'South is her first preference'. Off late, Kajal is slowly revealing how much she is regretting for missing out golden chances in Hindi because of her commitments here. Does it look like she had shed few 'crocodile tears' earlier for Telugu industry?

Racha Became a Strong Platform For Ramcharan

Racha Became a Strong Platform For Ramcharan

Some movies never stand out as 'masterpiece' but they lay foundation for the prosperity of their hero. Looks like, same thing is happening with 'Racha' for our Mega Power Star.

Irrespective of an old fashioned story and simple narration, Racha is doing wonders at Box Office only due to the stamina of RamCharan. 'With that thumping energy and thunderous voice, Charan proved the real star in him. It is working in his favor to woo producers from different cine circuits', say critics. Right from Bollywood to Kollywood many big production houses are now gearing up to sign deals with Charan after watching his sparkling show in this latest flick. 

A source from Hindi circuit reveals that if Charan scores marks with his Bolly debut 'Zanjeer', then there is no doubt he will become 'star' across the Indian film circuits. One can now say, Racha is more of a showreel of Charan to impress producers than a blockbuster movie.

Prakash Raj wielding the Mega Project again

Meanwhile, sources say Prakash has already begun working on a new script and an announcement will be made soon.

Sexy Heroine's 'Paanch Phataaka'!!

Sexy Heroine's 'Paanch Phataaka'!!

The term Paanch Phataaka might remind you of the songs program in an FM Radio channel but the one we are talking about is coming from a sexy heroine. She is none other than the milky thigh beauty Tapsee Pannu. Well, it is heard that this pretty starlet has got five releases for the year 2012.

First in the list is 'Daruvu' which has Tapsee pairing up with the mass maharaja Ravi Teja.
