Why director Sukumar and Devi Sri Prasad skipped ‘Pushpa’ pre-release event

Director Sukumar and music director Devi Sri Prasad did not attend the pre-release event of Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna-starrer ‘Pushpa’ as they were busy finishing sound mixing work on the much-awaited movie.

Allu Arjun, Rashmik Mandanna, Anasuya Bhardwaj, Sunil, and other crew members were present at the event. Directors S.S. Rajamouli, Koratala Siva, Buchi Babu Sana, Venky Kudumula, and others were invited as guests on the occasion.

‘Pushpa’ director Sukumar and music director Devi Sri Prasad were not present at the event as they were busy with final sound mixing for the movie. During Allu Arjun’s speech, he had mentioned that the duo was working on the final sound mixing for the movie and hence had to skip the pre-release event.

“I wish Sukumar and Devi were here today. I miss you so so much Devi. I wanted to enjoy ‘Pushpa’s music success with Devi Sri Prasad, here on the stage. But, I know, they are doing a great job, over there, working on the final sound mixing,” Allu Arjun said.

Allu Arjun praised Sukumar’s conviction, as well as Devi Sri Prasad’s hit music. ‘Pushpa’ hits the screens on December 17.

Pawan Kalyan: By stopping my movies, YSRCP want to cut off my financial sources

Jana Sena Party chief and actor Pawan Kalyan slammed the ‘indifferent attitude’ of the ruling YSRCP in Andhra Pradesh as he accused it of trying to stop the release of his movies.

As Pawan Kalyan staged a sit-in at Mangalagiri, to protest against the privatisation of Vizag Steel Plant, he called out the Andhra Pradesh government, who went back on the promise made to the people.

Pawan Kalyan spoke about his electoral loss in Gajuwaka. “I am here to fight for the people. That is why I am here to support this protest against the privatisation of Vizag Steel Plant, though I lost in Gajuwaka.”

Pawan also said, “Now that YSRCP has backtracked on their stand, they want me to fight with the BJP government to oppose privatisation of Vizag Steel Plant. But, the ruling party almost forgot that they had promised to do the same during the local body elections. People must remember all these deeds before they cast their votes in the coming elections.”

The actor-turned-politician also spoke on how the government has been trying to shut his financial sources down by stopping his movies from being released. “These people are trying their best to stop my movies from being released. They think they can shut down all the sources of my income by doing so. If necessary, I can release my movies for free,” Pawan said, on a witty note.

The Andhra Pradesh government had passed orders to slash the ticket prices for Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Vakeel Saab’ earlier.

‘Bigg Boss Telugu 5’: Speculation rife on who’ll exit house this weekend

Telugu’s biggest reality show hosted by Nagarjuna, ‘Bigg Boss Telugu 5’, is marching towards the finale, as there are only six contestants left in the house now.

VJ Sunny, Manas, Sree Rama Chandra, Kajal, Siri and Shanmukh are the top-six contestants for the season. With Sree Rama Chandra already in the finale, tension prevails among the contestants as to who would leave the house the coming weekend.

VJ Sunny, who rose to be a good performer in the current season, has gained much popularity, and the voting patterns are completely in favour of this actor. On the other hand, Manas, who is termed as the most mature guy of the season, seems to be safe, though his voting percentage is still very less when compared to Sunny.

Kajal, whose graph grew over time, seems to be in the danger zone, as per reports. Siri and Shanmukh, who were expected to be in the finale, have been inconsistent in the recent episodes. So, the duo’s votes seem to put them in the danger zone.

Shanmukh, who has garnered huge fandom for his webseries, was supposed to be in the top-3 list, but his recent behaviour on the show has put him in the line below bottom.

With this, it is clear that one among Siri, Kajal and Shanmukh might be shown the exit door in the coming eliminations.

NTR Jr explains why his ‘RRR’ character gives him an adrenaline rush

When NTR Jr was quizzed at the launch of the ‘RRR’ trailer here on Thursday about the movie offers he had to decline because of this pan-Indian period film, he had a ready answer, which was like a tribute to the director S.S. Rajamouli.

“Do You think someone could come up to me and offer me a film when I was doing a Rajamouli movie?” NTR Jr countered. “This does not happen in the industry when you’re working with Jakkanna. ‘Aisa nahi hota hain’.” Rajamouli is lovingly addressed as ‘Jakkanna’ by NTR Jr and others in Tollywood.

Addressing the journalist who asked this question, NTR Jr added: “You know, you’ve been there for a long time. The sooner you accept it the better it is.” He surprised the media with his flawless Hindi and quick wit.

The ‘Aravind Sametha Veera Raghava’ actor will be seen essaying the role of Komaram Bheem, the Gond leader who fought the Nizam’s administration in the 1930s, in ‘RRR’. In the trailer, the actor is introduced as a protector of the Gond tribe. He’s seen taking on a tiger in the trailer.

Commenting on his character, NTR Jr said: “There are some historical heroes whose stories remain in your memory since your childhood. Robin Hood, for example. Playing Bheem took me down memory lane.”

He added: “When you think about the freedom fighters, you feel the adrenaline rush just thinking about what they did for us and how much a part of their lives they are. So, for me, it wasn’t that difficult. I just did what my director had asked me to do.”

Actress Pooja Hegde, who is gearing up for the release of her upcoming pan-India film ‘Radhe Shyam’, says the song ‘Soch liya’ from the movie introduces the chemistry her character Prerana shares with Prabhas’s.

The film will be released in four languages — Telugu, Tamil, Hindi and Malayalam.

The latest song is sung by Arijit Singh and composed by Mithoon. Pooja’s avatar in ‘Soch Liya’ has classic European get-up and vintage charm written all over it.

Talking about the number, Pooja said: “‘Soch Liya’ presents many shades of Prerana in ‘Radhe Shyam’. I’m thrilled that the song is out now. What’s special about it is that it takes viewers through a mixed bag of emotions.

“It introduces the roller-coaster of the chemistry the lead characters share. I’m happy to have a song I can hear on the loop.”

Rana Daggubati’s long-delayed movie ‘1945’ is finally ready to release soon. Directed by Sathyasiva, the Tamil-Telugu film has been in the making for more than three years now.

Rana will be seen in the role of a soldier of Subhash Chandra Bose’s Indian National Army (INA). Actress Regina Cassandra is the leading lady opposite Rana. It also features Sathyaraj, Nasser, and RJ Balaji in important roles.

Yuvan Shankar Raja has scored the music, while Sathya is the cinematographer for the movie ‘1945’. The movie was shelved due to differences between the producer and the hero.

Rana Daggubati had earlier called the movie an “unfinished film” back in 2019 and had also accused producer S.N. Rajarajan of non-payment of dues. Now that the movie has cleared all hurdles, the makers have decided to release it.

Rana’s ‘Virata Parvam’ starring Sai Pallavi will also release soon.
