Ever since Pawan Kalyan is making his comeback to films, there’s a lot of competition among producers to get Pawan’s dates. While Dil Raju and Boney Kapoor are bankrolling Vakeel Saab, the Telugu remake of Pink, producers like Mythri, AM Ratnam are already in the queue.

Now two more producers are seriously trying dates of Pawan Kalyan. It’s learnt that TG Viswa Prasad of People Media Factory and producer-financier PVP are vying up to get Pawan’s dates.

Viswa Prasad has good rapport with Pawan and so PVP. It was PVP who stood by Pawan when the latter launched Janasena party. Given this, both the producers are actively planning to collaborate with Pawan.

Meanwhile, producer of films like Teen Maar, Gabbar Singh, Iddarammayilatho and Baadshah, Bandla Ganesh is also hoping to team up with Pawan again. Since elections are four more years away, Pawan has three years to focus on films and their releases. Pawan wants to do as many as films possible in this period and cash in on the craze in film industry.

In this lockdown celebrities are finding new ways to keep themselves busy. They are showing us how to keep things interesting. Tollywood actress-producer Manchu Lakshmi started a show called ‘Locked Up With Lakshmi Manchu’ to interact with film celebs and political leaders.

Manchu Lakshmi who was last seen in W/O Ram is working on various scripts for films and OTT platforms. “After W/O Ram, I did a Tamil film. 90% of the offers I’m getting are of negative roles. I indeed am open for all kind of roles. But, I’m looking for good scripts of late,” says Lakshmi.

The actress had argument with director Krish over online classes for school students. She clarifies on it saying, “Private schools are at least offering online classes. But, I’m really worried about students of government schools.

She however stated that she is completely against English medium in Government schools. “I didn’t like the idea of introducing English as a medium of instruction in all government schools. In my opinion, most of the teachers doesn’t know even basics. As an educationalist what I feel is English is not the only way.”

With the lockdown delaying her Nishabdham’s release indefinitely, Anushka is already busy planning her next projects. As per a source in the know, Anushka is all set to reunite with UV Creations, the banner that bankrolled some of Anushka’s biggest hits, including Mirchi and Bhaagamathie.

Apparently, Anushka’s next project is a lady oriented film and it will be made in the romantic entertainer genre. P Mahesh, who had directed Sundeep Kishan’s 2014 action entertainer ‘Ra Ra Krishnayya’, will be directing Anushka in his second film.

The film’s pre-production is underway already and more details about the project will be revealed at an appropriate time after Tollywood limps back to normalcy. But what’s interesting is that, despite her super stardom, Anushka continues to choose content-oriented movies instead of going for films with star directors.

Director Sujeeth Reddy of Saaho fame has got engaged to his long time Girlfriend Pravallika, a Dentist cum Screen play writer.

This ceremony happened as a very private event where only the family members of Sujeeth and Pravallika besides a few guests were present.

The wedding is also expected to be happening soon, in a couple of months and this might also be a private affair keeping the current situations in mind. Official date of the wedding is yet to be known.

We have known that Sujeeth has kept his love life a secret from his close friends and those who work with him in direction department as friends. Many didn’t even know that he was getting engaged and the director made sure that it was a private thing.

On the work-front, Sujeeth will next be directing Telugu remake of Lucifer, which has Megastar Chiranjeevi as the lead actor, stepping into shoes of Mohanlal. He made his debut as director with Sharwanand’s Run Raja Run.

The fans of Powerstar Pawan Kalyan have shown perpetual interest in the actor and his ex-wife Renu Desai’s topic and they never get bored of it. Some of his ardent fans even get emotionally excited when talking about their love life or on their divorce. The couple, who split their ways back in 2012, are not comfortable talking about their divorce on the public domain, just like any other ex-couples.

In fact, Renu Desai has quite a few times articulated that she feels comfortable only when fans leave things easy without fussing more about her past. Her latest photo today shows Renu wearing black beads. Netizens are quick to observe it and questioned her on the same. Some have expressed their queries on why is she still wearing it even after divorcing PK. Some raised doubts if she remarried now.

Black beads have a prominent significance in Indian marriages and it is to indicate love and commitment during marriage towards each other. Yes, Renu Desai wore it despite her divorce but do we seriously need to look into her personal space? There is a thing called freedom and she deserves it. Users asking her repeatedly about such trivial things are quite regressive. However, if there is anything happening in her personal life, let’s wait and see until she announces.

One cannot decide just by looking at a woman if she is a divorcee or married as many modern women don’t wear black beads in spite of leading a happy life with husbands. Similarly, just because Renu Desai wears it still, doesn’t mean she is still into Pawan Kalyan. Fans are also curious that she must have married secretly to someone, which also leaves us chuckled and facepalmed.

Though black beads/Mangalsutra are a sign of marital status, we believe, Renu Desai must be still bounded by the concept of true love, ethics and her own personal belief system which we shouldn’t invade. Well, what are your views on it? Leave it in the comment section.

Bollywood film Andhadhun is being remade in Telugu and Nithiin is going to play the lead role in this film and will step into Ayushmann Khurrana’s shoes. There have been a lot of speculations on who will be playing the role Tabu has reprised in the original film which is directed by Sriram Raghavan.

Initially, there have been rumours that Tabu herself is going to play the same role. But because she asked for a big fat cheque, it is said that the makers began looking for another actress.

That is when names of actresses like Anasuya Bharadwaj, Ramya Krishnan and others started doing rounds. But as per the latest buzz, which could even be a progress in lockdown, it is said that Shilpa Shetty is going to play this role.

As of now, there has been no official confirmation on the same, but the buzz is strong as a leading daily has reported that the actress is in talks with the makers of the film. Shilpa Shetty appeared in Telugu films like Sahasaveerudu Sagara Kanya, Veedevadandi Babu, Bhalevadivi Basu and Azad. Her last Telugu films was Bhalevadivi Basu released in 2001.

There is a rumour that Nithiin wants Keerthy Suresh, his Rang De co-star to play the leading lady, the role played by Radhika Apte.

After a series of lockdowns due to coronavirus, the Unlock1.0 turned interesting as the paps started capturing many celebrity faces again after a long time. While Kareena’s run around the house stole the internet yesterday, here is one celebrity who just can’t live without working out.

One of the fitness-obsessed celebrities, Rakul Preet is seen on Mumbai streets in her usual workout attire heading towards a workout place. While many other celebrities were busy adding kilos to their bodies by junk eating and do nothing, how is Rakul Preet just the same or even on better shape post lockdown?

Rakul and Pragya Jaiswal were snapped today at Bandra in their gym attire. Anyway, it is good to see our favorite actors coming out and showing their faces to paps, of course with masks and social distancing guidelines.

Actor Sonu Sood, who has been arranging transport for migrant workers stranded in Mumbai and has faced criticism from the Shiv Sena for “enacting a political script written by BJP”, was stopped outside the Bandra Terminus in Mumbai by police from meeting labourers.

A Mumbai Police official said the actor was stopped by the Railway Protection Force (RPF) when he reached the station on Monday night to meet some labourers, and added that they have not received any complaint so far in this connection.The migrant labourers were supposed to take the Shramik Special train from Bandra Terminus to Uttar Pradesh.

Mumbai’s Nirmal Nagar police station’s senior inspector Shashikant Bhandare told news agency PTI that “The actor was stopped by the RPF, not by us. He wanted to meet labourers who were going to their native place. We have not received any complaint regarding this till now.”

Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Sunday wondered whether the BJP propped up Sonu Sood to “offer help” to migrant workers from north India stranded in Maharashtra amidst the lockdown, with the political motive to show the Uddhav Thackeray government in poor light.

In his weekly column ‘Rokhthok’ in Shiv Sena mouthpiece ‘Saamana’, Sanjay Raut questioned the sudden rise of “Mahatma” Sood on the social scene of Maharashtra during the lockdown.

Mr Raut also referred to an alleged “sting operation” against Sonu Sood ahead of the 2019 general elections, saying he had agreed to promote the BJP-led government at various platforms through his official social media accounts.However, later that day Chief Minister and Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray lauded Sonu Sood’s initiative to arrange buses for stranded migrant workers.

The actor met Uddhav Thackeray at the latter’s residence ‘Matoshree’ in suburban Bandra on Sunday night.On Monday, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh backed Sonu Sood for his work for stranded migrant workers, and questioned the Maharashtra government’s criticism of the actor.

National award winning actress Keerthy Suresh’s upcoming movie ‘Penguin’ is gearing up for OTT release. This is the first film of Keerthy to directly hit the digital space instead of the box office. ‘Penguin’ is said to be a crime thriller and the teaser of it is unveiled by Samantha.

Set on the backdrop of a isolated hill station, this is a tale of a mother whose child gets killed. The teaser shows, Keerthy and a few years old child walking in the thick greenery. A mysterious person is behind these killings and the killer appears with a Charlie Chapin mask which adds to the suspense.

Written and directed by Eashvar Karthic, the teaser has an outdated plot but the suspense elements can’t be rubbed off. The trailer will be released on June 11th. Penguin will simultaneously release in Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu languages on Amazon Prime on June 19th.

Balakrishna’s sensational comments at Mahanadu where he had exuded confidence that TDP would bounce back to power even before the next general election had raised shock in the political circuit. Responding to Balayya’s comments, Posani said Balyya’s comments need not be taken seriously. He said Balayya is an honest person who isn’t greedy for position or power in politics. Posani, however, said that Balayya has got short temper and his anger is short-lived.

Talking about CM Jagan, Posani said Jagan is delivering a strong leadership to the state and there’s no doubt about it. He said no one can dethrone CM Jagan as he has got the support of MLAs and people. He commented that Jagan is no NTR to be dethroned. Posani stated that Jagan will be CM for next two terms.

Though Posani has countered Balayya, he has also praised Balayya for his honesty and being non-corrupt. “When his father NTR was Chief Minister, none of his children had gone near him. Ramarao’s sons have not earned by taking advantage of their father’s position when he was CM. Neither media nor then opposition leaders in Congress have leveled any allegations against Ramarao’s children. Balayya is definitely non corrupt. But he has anger, aggression that lasts only for a minute. It won’t cause any loss to society,” said Posani who asked to take Balayya’s comments light.
