Actor Arjun Kapoor is excited to start his next, ‘The Lady Killer’ for which he is heading to Manali. This is the first time in his life that the actor will be visiting this picturesque hill station, which he feels will act “as a perfect backdrop” to the film.

Ram Charan clearly outperforms Chiranjeevi in ‘Bhale Bhale Banjara’ song

Musician Mani Sharma’s song titled ‘Bhale Bhale Banjara’ from Koratala Siva’s directorial ‘Acharya’ is out with Ram Charan stealing the show from his megastar dad Chiranjeevi.

The creators of ‘Acharya’ released the single, as they took to their social media platforms to publicize it.

Chiranjeevi, who took to his social media handles, wrote, “A memorable song for me. Happy to tap my feet with my energetic @AlwaysRamCharan for #BhaleBhaleBanjara. Hope I dominated him with my grace”.

But, all that megastar’s fans are talking is about how Ram Charan has easily outperformed his father, the legendary actor Chiranjeevi.

Both the heroes dressed in full black attire play comrades who protect the holy regions in the forest.

The theme of the song goes quite well with the lyrics and the choreography.

As Chiranjeevi and ‘RRR’ actor Ram Charan sizzle in a very composed and stylized manner, the steps for ‘Bhale Bhale Banjara’ have been kept classy.

Sekhar Master choreographed it beautifully, and the duo’s combined screen space adds a vibe to the single song released by the makers of ‘Acharya’.

‘Acharya’ will hit the screens on April 29.

Samantha’s advice to her younger self: Never get tattooed

Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu recently had a question-and-answer session on Instagram.

One of her fans had asked the ‘Majili’ actress to reveal what kind of a tattoo Samantha wants to see herself inked with.

The ‘Rangasthalam’ actress bluntly replied saying that she now dislikes getting inked. “My advice to my younger self would be not to get a tattoo. Ever!! Never ever get tattooed”, the actress stressed.

Samantha is known to have three tattoos, all of which are related to her ex-husband Naga Chaitanya. Samantha’s first tattoo reads ‘YMC,’ which is an abbreviation for Sam and Naga’s first film together, ‘Ye Maaya Chesave.

The second tattoo, which reads ‘Chay,’ is inked on her right rib, while the third tattoo is more unique, as both Chaitu and Samantha inked the same tattoo of two arrows on their forearms.

On the work front, Samantha will be seen in ‘Shakuntalam’ and ‘Yashoda’ next.
