Labels: Bala Krishna,
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!


Labels: Chiranjeevi, Ram 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


Labels: ,
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


Labels: Ram Charan,
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


Labels: , Ram Gopal Verma,
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


Labels: Jr NTR, Tamanna,

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!!


Labels: Allu Arjun,

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).

Labels: Tamanna,

Choreographer turned actor turned director Lawrence Raghavendra is a ‘Rebel’ for heroines. He has the natural instinct of getting over advanced with his heroines. While some like Lakshmi Rai get adjusted for their own benefits, others like Anushka repel back as what we have seen in the case of ‘Rebel.’
Now, the news is official. tamanna replaced Anushka for ‘Rebel’ and this kick started new troubles for Lawrence. Inner sources say, Prabhas seriously warned Lawrence to wrap up the shooting by year end and get him relived from this never ending project. On the other side, Tammu on the very first entry into venture ordered Lawrence to edit few scenes in the main script. 
‘Actually these scenes are meant to exemplify the oomph of Anushka and that is the reason why she walked out. Now, Tammu grappled ‘Pilaka’ of Lawrence into her hands. He has no other way than to come in terms with Milk beauty,’ said a source connected to ‘Rebel.’

NTR’s Dammu set to go back on floors soon


Labels: Jr NTR,

NTR’s upcoming film, tentatively titled Dammu is going to get back on floors from September 28 onwards. Few weeks ago, NTR had requested Boyapati Srinu, the director of the film and KS Rama Rao, the producer to postpone the film for a while, since he couldn’t concentrate on both Oosaravelli and Dammu at the same time.
Now that Oosaravelli is almost complete and is being planned for release on October 6, NTR is said to have allocated his dates for Dammu from September 28 onwards. The shooting is likely to go on for couple of weeks in Annapurna Studios, where a huge set has been built and then the unit will go to Pollachi for a 45 days schedule in November.

Gautham Menon drops a bomb about Ram!


Labels: Ram,

Gautham Menon who’s currently shooting his trilingual film with Samantha and Jiiva, Aditya Roy Kapoor and Ram in Tamil, Hindi and Telugu respectively, has spoken out about Ram allegedly walking out of the film. We had reported long ago that Ram had pulled out of the film due to the differences between him and Bellamkonda Suresh, who was supposed to produce the Telugu version.
However, sources in the Tamil film industry have a different story to tell. Apparently, the actor was miffed at the delay in shooting schedules because each scene was being shot with the three actors separately. When Chennai Times contacted Gautham Menon about why Ram walked out, the director said, “It’s too early to talk about it.
We’re still trying to sort things out. We didn’t want Ram in the first place; so, it’s not that he has walked out of the film.” If Ram wasn’t the original choice for the film, this issue seems to be even more complicated than ever before. Wonder if we’ll ever come to know what the truth is.

RGV's Tweet On Chiru Brings Smiles


Labels: Chiranjeevi, Ram Gopal Verma,

Usually, when Ram Gopal Varma says or tweets something, it is bound to rub many on the wrong side. However, his latest tweet seems to have brought few smiles to someone. Well, it is Ramu’s tweet on his long time favourite Chiranjeevi and true to his thoughts, it was bizarre.

The tweet goes - Andharu leaderlu jail kelli poyi chiranjeevi gaaru vokkare bayata migilipoyi C M ayipoyinattu naaku ninna raathri kala vachhindi.  Those who read this are saying either Ramu is trying to put Soap to Chiru or throw a satire on him. But most of them feel that it is a satire. While all that is one side, here is the other side. This tweet has brought smiles to the Y S Jagan camp. Members say Ramu must have mentioned this as a joke because Chiranjeevi becoming a Chief Minister is nothing but a joke. Only Ramu knows why/what/how this tweet came to his mind.

Boyapati Teaming Up With Ramcharan?


Labels: Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan,


Chiranjeevi has never encouraged new director or new heroine. It is known that he is good at using talent recognized by others.
After getting films done by Rajamouli and V V Vinayak who were introduced through NTR movies, it is now heard that Chiru is getting into agreement with Boyapati Sreenu for a film to be made with his son Ramcharan Tej.

Even before the talk has spread that Boyapati’s movie ‘Dammu’ with NTR has shaped up excellently, Chiru has caught the scent. It is heard that he has given a heavy advance to Boyapati and made arrangements so that once Charan completes ‘Rachcha’, Boyapati’s project should commence.

Upasana has stopped talking to Charan!!!


Labels: Ram Charan,

It is known news that Konidela Ramcharan Tej is getting engaged to Kamineni Upasana. This is expected to happen in two months and the marriage will follow three months after that. However, it is heard that Upasana has stopped talking to Charan.

Don’t think it is lovers tiff. Apollo hospital sources reveal that since Cherry has taken Ayyappa Deeksha, Upasana has decided not to disturb or divert him throughout the Deeksha. Hence, she took the tough decision, as per sources.

If Charan calls Upasana or vice-versa, the disturbance is for Charan. And there should be no romantic ‘disturbances’ during Ayyappa Deeksha. That is why Upasana took this decision and it is heard that Cherry knowing the reason behind this decision has developed more love for Upasana.
