Ram wants Hansika to reduce her weight



Hero Ram is all set to arrive with his new movie ‘Kandireega’ and this time, he is pairing up with Hansika Motwani in the lead. This is the second time they are pairing up after their earlier venture ‘Maska’. Now, unit members reveal that Ram gave a strict warning to Hansika during the shooting time. Well, the warning for Hansika was to reduce her weight. Unit members reveal “Ram is the only one who has lifted Hansika so many times so he knows her exact weight. Moreover, given his lean frame, it is only appropriate that Hansika also looks slim for their onscreen appearance to be normal.” 

A noted producer remarked “Right now, Hansika is perfect and has the right voluptuous appeal. But a little extra weight will take her out of shape. I am worried that this beautiful doll will have to shut down her shop if she doesn’t take care of her shape.” Hope Hansika is reading this one.

Young Heroine refused to act with Nag


However, Sunil says there are instances were few heroines refused to work even with some of the Top Heroes in the Industry. "Once a Top Hero said to me that - a heroine refused to pair up with him. He analysed the reason for refusing him, though he is a Top Star. After hearing that I felt he had a great understanding," said Sunil. 
Top Hero's Analysis: "That Heroine refused to act with me. The reason might be, we had a huge age difference. Once she acts with me, she can't do films with other young heroes. I think there is nothing wrong in her decision. May be she is right. Why do I want to pair up with young heroines? Even, I'm not interested to work with heroines, who were paired opposite me in the early stages of my film career. Everyone have their own choices and they do things as per their requirements. As one has to take the responsibility of their own success and failure. We shouldn't find fault with them. Our emotions will come out at this time when we take it like - Why she rejected though I am a Top Hero? But, we shouldn't do that and insted we must accept the reality".

Finally, Sunil revealed that Big Hero's name. He is none other than handsome hero Nagarjuna. Sunil also said that top heroines Anushka and Trisha refused to pair opposite him in Rajamouli's 'Maryada Ramanna'. Rajamouli has  finally roped in Saloni, who's career is in slump.

Reason behind Badrinath 50 days function



Given the credibility of vv vinayak in market as a mass director, there is nothing he is going to lose with failure of ‘Badrinath.’ Though he seems to be presently trifling with time till start of the next project, there are many producers and heroes queued up for Vinayak. Here is an inner report that Allu Aravind’s business brain is coming to fore on this subject as he is determined to give second chance for Vinayak without caring on ‘Badrinath’ falling below the expectations.
Yes, the sole purpose behind arranging a small 50 days function for ‘Badrinath’ is only to create an opinion that all is well with in the team and Vinayak is still the man of Mega compound. If such is the case, then it might be obviously Ramcharan the front runner in Vinay Anna’s wish list with story and script almost done. Undoubtedly Vinayak will double his energy levels in bringing out a solid product this time because every time he got a dud or average, bounced back very strongly.
