Nagarjuna, Naga Chaitanya start shooting of next film

Actors Nagarjuna and Naga Chaitanya started the shooting of their Telugu film ‘Bangaraju’ here on Wednesday.

The film directed by Kalyan Krishna Kurasala, is a sequel to 2016 film ‘Soggade Chinni Nayana’, which also starred Nagarjuna.

The senior actor tweeted a poster of the film and captioned it as: “So very happy to start work for #Bangarraju along with @chay_akkineni !!! We welcome @ZeeStudios_in this exciting journey.”

Chaitanya retweeted the post.

While Ramya Krishna, who was seen in SCN, is part of ‘Bangaraju’ as well. The makers have roped in the most sought-after heroine Krithi Shetty to play Naga Chaitanya’s love interest.

Zee Studios will be co-producing the project with Annapurna Studios Pvt Ltd. Nagarjuna is the producer. While actress Ramya Krishna will star in the sequel as well, the cast welcomed actress Krithi Shetty as the female lead alongside Chaitanya.

‘Bangaraju’ is billed to be a wholesome entertainer laced with a good dose of romance, emotions and other commercial ingredients. Expectations are quite high on the project, since it is the sequel for the blockbuster and Nagarjuna and Naga Chaitanya are working together for the second time.

The last time the father-son duo came together, it was on the 2014 Telugu film ‘Manam’

Amitabh Bachchan was attracted to story of ‘Chehre’

Amitabh Bachchan will be seen on the big screen after a long gap in mystery thriller ‘Chehre’. He says the story of the film is what led him to accept the project.

The superstar revealed what attracted him to sign up for ‘Chehre’, “The story of ‘Chehre’ has been with Rumyji since quite some time and he used to always tell me that he wanted to narrate it to me, whenever we would meet. When I heard it, I immediately decided that I would be a part of this film.”

The film is produced by Anand Pandit and directed by Rumy Jaffry.

“People generally assume that if it’s a Rumy Jaffry film it would be a comedy, but that wasn’t so! Such a subject or topic was not something that Rumy had chosen before, and now that he has, I am very happy to have been a part of it,” he added.

‘Chehre’s cast also includes Emraan Hashmi, Annu Kapoor, Krystle D’Souza, Rhea Chakraborty, Dhritiman Chatterjee, Raghubir Yadav and Siddhanth Kapoor. The movie will portray Big B and Emraan Hashmi pitted against each other in a game of justice and punishment.

‘Chehre’ will be released in cinemas on August 27.

Uttarakhand doc on ‘KBC 13’ hotseat gives father-in-law the credit

Neha Bathla became the second contestant to occupy the hotseat on the show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 13’ hosted by megastar Amitabh Bachchan.

Dr Neha is a veterinarian from Uttarakhand’s Champawat district and has also worked as a nodal officer during the Covid pandemic. She managed to answer 12 questions and won Rs 12.5 lakh.

When asked how she feels about it, Dr Neha responded that it is not just money but she is here to fulfil the dream of her father-in-law Pradeep Kumar Joshi. She said: “I came to ‘KBC 13’ because of my father-in-law, as he is the one who motivated me to be in the show as he is a big fan of Amitabh Bachchan. Moreover, as I am interested in reading and keeping myself updated on every latest event, he asked me to participate in it.”

Dr Neha was desperate to make it to the hotseat by winning the Triple Test. And adding to it she was also overwhelmed by the respect she got from Amitabh Bachchan.

“I was so nervous before, especially facing a superstar like him was just beyond my imagination. But Amitabh ji is such a kind person and without showing any tantrums he said, ‘I respect your profession’, and I think this was the biggest thing for me.”

Despite getting stuck at the 13th question, she seemed quite satisfied and said: “I am happy that I came here and in this way I showed my respect and regards for my father-in-law.”

She wishes to utilise the money in helping underprivileged kids by offering them education.

Cross-connections in plenty on ‘Bigg Boss OTT’ Game of Hearts

Recently ‘Bigg Boss OTT’ viewers witnessed different connections between the contestants who got a chance to change partners and choose a new one in the ‘Game of Hearts’.

The contestants were given a task called ‘Game of Hearts’ but it didn’t go well with Pratik Sehajpal and Akshara Singh as at first Pratik accepted the heart and then broke her heart twice. Later, Neha Bhasin gave her heart to Pratik and Akshara to Milind Gaba which led to a tiff between the two ladies.

Thus there was a heated conversation between old and new connections that ended on a bitter note. Pratik said that: “Akshara and Milind have a great connection so they should be together” to which Akshara was quick to respond: “There is no one in the ‘Bigg Boss OTT’ house who can decide with whom I have a better connection.”

Later when Neha gave the heart to Pratik, Milind furiously replied: “I am shocked. You have flipped faster than the time it takes to make an egg.”

The argument started blowing up and Neha said: “I will not make a fake connection. I feel judged when I am with you” to which Gaba replied: “Mind your language.”

When Gaba shouted at Neha, she was unable to accept the way he was talking to her and she replied back: “You have no right to talk to me like that. This is the tone I cannot handle.”

The task ended with a huge tiff between the two ladies where Akshara accuses Neha of breaking their connection. Akshara said to Neha: “You can’t break the connection between Pratik and me just by giving a heart to him.”

The fights between the connections are blowing up more and more! Akshara is shattered and the rejection is making her cry in the house.

‘Bigg Boss OTT’ airs on Voot.

Priyaank Sharma: Family background doesn’t help you succeed in cinema

Actor Priyaank Sharma, who is the son of yesteryear actress Padmini Kolhapure and cousin of Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor, says that family background does not help any creative individual to achieve success.

Recently Priyaank launched his music label Dhamaka Records. He also made his Bollywood debut with the film ‘Sab Kushal Mangal’ that also featured Akshaye Khanna in 2020.

Asked about coming from a family of actors and filmmakers, if it has helped him in anyway to find his space in Bollywood, Priyaank told IANS: “I think growing in a family where everyone is somewhere part of the creative profession, be it music, cinema, film producing, I have seen what a risk-taking business it is.

“I have seen how life changes between Friday to Friday. So from the beginning, I knew that my family background will not help me to get my breakthrough moment and if I want to take up acting professionally, a sense of uncertainty will be there. So, when people talk about nepotism, I wonder if they understand that the creative growth of an artist has nothing to do with family background. Rather we have a different pressure.”

Priyaank said that even though currently he is working on a project, he is waiting for the official announcement and until then, everything is under wraps.
