Kumari to turn dancer soon

Hebah-Patel-New-Stills
Debutante actress Hebah Patel has become a sought after name ever since her film Kumari 21 F hit box-office gold. She has been on a signing spree since then and one important film which fell into her kitty is her next with Nikhil Siddhartha to be directed by VI Anand. And it is learnt that the actress plays a dancer in the film.
 
Interestingly, Hebah has even been undergoing a workshop to train for her role which sees her as a western dancer adept with various dance forms. For over a month, she trained in the nuances of the dance form and she has apparently made that an important part of her daily routine as well.
 
Though a lot isn’t being heard about the film, it is learnt that nearly 40% of the film’s shoot has been completed but the producers are keeping it all hush hush to ensure the film doesn’t draw a lot of attention and undue hype. Well, we’ll have to wait and watch if the strategy is working.


Devayani Out, Suhasini in

devyani-suhasini

Traditional looking Devayani has won millions of hearts in Tollywood with her girl next door look in many films during 90s decade. She even starred with Powerstar Pawan Kalyan in Suswagatam which was a super hit. However, she faded from the lead actress roles and was best noted for her performance in Nani as Mahesh Babu’s mother.

After years, she bagged a chance to act opposite Malayalam Superstar Mohanlal for Jr NTR’s upcoming flick Janata Garage. But, unfortunately she lost the chance as the makers of Janatha Garrage felt that she wasn’t suiting the character perfectly. However, Devayani is now replaced with another stellar actress Suhasini Maniratnam.

Suhasini is well known for remarkable performances in Telugu post heroine phase such as Nuvvu Naaku Nacchav and Leader. However, it would be quite interesting to see her sharing screen space with Mohanlal this time.

Directed by Koratala Siva, the film also features Samantha and Nithya Menen as the female leads in the film. The shooting is currently progressing at a jet speed and it is slated to hit the screens on August 12th, 2016.


Rajamouli makes interesting comments on Oopiri

SS Rajamouli, who has had a successful year with the Magnum-opus ‘Baahubali’ is all praise for the latest emotional drama, Vamsi Padipally’s Oopiri. The director showered praises on Vamsi for his amazing direction and screenplay.
 
Rajamouli took to Twitter to praise Vamsi, in his tweets he said that Vamsi did a fabulous job and Oopiri is a true entertainer that stays with you for a long time.
 
The director, with a series of tweets- showered praises on Karthi, Nagarjuna for their performances and congratulated the producer Prasad V Potluri and the whole team for the success.
 
Here are Rajamouli’s tweets on Oopiri:
 
Intouchables is one of my favourites. Frankly I didn’t think Vamsi would be able to handle it. Thanks Vamsi for proving me wrong.
 
The scenes you indianised made it a better film. Karthi is so good. Nagarjuna garu is a true path breaker.
 
Congratulations to PV garu and the whole team. Oopiri is A true entertainer that stays with you for a long time. Don’t miss it…

Shocking cost of Nag’s wheelchair in Oopiri

oopiri
Did you see that hi-tech wheelchair which Nagarjuna uses in Oopiri? Well, you’d be surprised to know that it costs a whopping Rs 25 lakh! Yes, we have reliably learnt that Nag, who plays a quadriplegic millionaire in the film, which is an adaptation of French classic The Intouchables, is seen using this state of the art wheel-chair throughout the film and we hear it was specially designed for him. The chair, was imported from Sweden just to shoot the film and the makers spent a huge sum of Rs 25 lakh for the process.
 
In the film, Nagarjuna is seen as a man confined to a wheelchair after a skydiving accident incapacitates his entire body below the neck. Nagarjuna underwent a lot of training to ensure he doesn’t move his hands or other parts of the body while emoting.
 
Co-starring Tamannaah and Karthi, the film directed by Vamshi Paidipally has opened to generally positive reviews and is going strong on the first day with an estimate collection of Rs 3.5 crores.

Superstar-Rajinikanth-Upcoming-Flick-Kabali-Nears-Completion
The year 2016 beckons us with several big releases line up. While Jr NTR and Nandamuri Balakrishna locked horns at big screens during Sankranti, an another epic clash awaits us during May. As per the latest reports, Rajinikanth’s upcoming film Kabali may take on Mahesh Babu’s Brahmotsavam at box office during May 2016. 
 
It is learnt that Rajini’s much talked about gangster flick Kabali might release in the last week of May, 2016. Also, we hear that Mahesh Babu’s Brahmostavam,which is being directed by Srikanth Addala, is slated to release during the same time in Tollywood.
 
Even though there is a days’s difference between the release of these two big films, fans are predicting an epic clash as both Rajinikanth and Mahesh Babu have strong fan base in Tamil Nadu and both Telugu speaking states (Telangana and Andhra Pradesh). While Kabali is a gangster flick, Brahmotsavam is touted to be a family drama. 
 
Well, let us wait and see who will win in this epic Superstar’s box office clash in May.

Sunil set to make a comeback as comedian

sunil-
Contrary to buzz that Sunil has been approached to play a key role in Chiranjeevi’s milestone comeback film, which will be the remake of Kaththi, we have now reliably learnt that it was Sunil himself who approached the megastar as he wants to be a part of the project.
 
It is well known that Sunil is a huge fan of the Megastar and hails him as his inspiration into filmdom. And so, he didn’t want to lose out on the opportunity to be a part of this important film. We hear the script is being suited to suit local sensibilities and it is to be seen if Chiru fuflills Sunil’s wish or not.

The surgery is expected to take place soon after his second daughter Srija get married next week. Chiranjeevi has been struggling with shoulder-related problems for nearly two years.
