It is very rare to find heroines coming from established families in the film industry. While heroes are a common sight. In Bollywood, both heroes and heroines come alike from the film families. Very few people know that a heroine has come from Akkineni family in the past.

She is none other than Supriya who acted with Mega-Brother Power Star Pawan Kalyan in the past. Supriya and Pawan Kalyan acted together in ‘Akkada Ammai – Ikkada Abbai’ in 1996. She is the grand-daughter of Akkineni Nageswara Rao and sister of hero Sumanth. Post that film, Supriya has left the film industry and confined herself to look after Annapoora Studios.

It is heard that Supriya will be seen on the silver screen after 21 long years. She will be seen in the film ‘Gudachaari’ which is being directed by hero Adivi Sesh. He is known for his critically acclaimed movie ‘Kshanam’ that released in 2016.

‘Supriya initially rejected the offer. But Adivi Sesh constantly persuaded her to play the role. She would be playing a vital role in the film’, said a close source to Adivi Sesh.

One has to wait and watch what impact Supriya’s presence will have on the film.

The Nandi Awards became a state-wide hot topic after producers and directors condemned the state government and the Jury. But the whole incident grabbed everyone’s attention after Posani Krishna Murali lashed out at Nara Lokesh.

In a recent interview, Posani lashed out at CM’s son, and minister Nara Lokesh, calling him a drunkard. With his fierce interview, it looked as if Posani has raised curtains to a larger controversy.

But interestingly, YSRCP leader, brother of Superstar Krishna, Ghattamaneni Adiseshagiri Rao simply rubbished Posani’s comments stating that ‘Posani’s arguments are senseless. What was his intention to bring caste into the awards row? See, people who did not get the awards usually react. This is a very common thing’.

Everyone expected that there would an interview from Posani criticizing the YSRCP leader. but shockingly, Posani did not even comment anything. Posani’s behavior certainly raised some eyebrows. Posani, who lashed out at CM Son out rightly has enough wits to lash out at Ghattamaneni also. But he did not.

Few close sources to the politics and film circles are claiming that someone is controlling every action of Posani. Only time should reveal the truth behind his ‘shocking’ behavior.

11 Telugu Movies to release in one day!

Posted [relativedate] at [relativetime time_format=”H:i”] 

As many as 8 Telugu films have been released in the last week. Except for a couple of films, almost all the films have failed at the box office. The release of star-films in January leaves no space for low-budget movies to release. And post-January, there would be no films releasing in February and March owing to the exam season. As a result, the producers of low-budget films are rushing to release their films in December itself.

11 Telugu Films would be releasing on 24th of November 2017. Apart from one film, rest all films are alien films to the Telugu audience. The list of the films are as follows:

  1. Balakrishnudu
  2. Mental Madhilo
  3. Hey Pillagada
  4. Devi Sri Prasad
  5. Napoleon
  6. Julie 2
  7. Jandhyala Rasina Premakatha
  8. Ippatlo Ramudiga Seethaga Yevaruntarandi Babu
  9. June 143
  10. Babi
  11. Koko

It would be really astonishing to see if 3 or 4 films out of these eleven manage to have a good run at the box office. Balakrishnudu, Mental Madhilo and Hey Pillagada are the best look-outs in this list. Nara Rohit and Regina Cassandra are starring in Balakrishnudu, Sree Vishnu and Nivetha Pethuraj are starring in Mental Madhilo, and Sai Pallavi and Dulquer Salmaan are starring in Hey Pillagada.
