This Sri Lankan beauty is now heading South. As per the reports, Jacqueline has signed a Telugu film opposite Pawan Kalyan. This film directed by Krish is said to be a periodic action-adventure film.

It is heard that there will be two heroines in the film and Jacqueline will a bigger role. She will be shooting for over 40 days to complete her schedule.

As per the sources, it is a fictional story set in the Mughal Era where Jacqueline will be playing the role of Aurangzeb’s sister, and Arjun Rampal is mostly going to essay the role of Aurangzeb in the film.

Urvashi Rautela wished the stylish star of Tollywood

Urvashi Rautela is one Bollywood beauty who keeps entertaining fans with her sizzling pictures and videos every now and then in the social media. This way she helps her fans get out of the boredom and stress of lockdown.

Her latest post on Instagram is a video where the actress is seen enjoying the ‘Butta Bomma’ song and wished the stylish star of Tollywood Allu Arjun a happy birthday in her style. The scintillating beauty went blushing in the video and praised the moves of the star hero down south.

It remains to be seen whether Allu Arjun considers this voluptuous beauty for an item song in the upcoming film ‘Pushpa’. It is evident that Sukumar will some how be adamant to include a special item number in his films to meet the expectations of mass audience. If at all Urvashi bags the offer, there will be no looking back for this actress as there is a dearth of item girls in south films especially Tollywood.

Devarkonda is planning to work with commercial Directors

Out of the blue, a talk has come out that ‘Brochervarevaru Ra’ director Vivek Athreya has okayed his next project. As that film happens to be a super hit movie that enjoyed unique applause from all sections of the society, there are huge expectations on the filmmaker’s next film. It has come out that he is going to direct Vijay Devarakonda in his next movie.

An article in an English daily stated that the director has met Vijay Devarakonda recently and narrated a story, which has blown the minds of the sensational hero. However, sources close to the hero have revealed that he has neither met Vivek nor heard any story from him. Though these two have met, it is long back but not in recent times. How come a meeting is possible in these corona times, is what they ask.

Right now, Devarkonda is having Puri Jagan’s Fighter in hand, on which he has huge expectations. Afterwards, he will be working on director Siva Nirvana’s next movie, but hasn’t signed any other film, they say. Meanwhile, Devarkonda is also said to be planning to work with big commercial directors from now on rather sticking around fresh young directors.

For 10 days Alia Bhat Demands 5 crores

All the rumours related to Bollywood siren Alia Bhat‘s exit from RRR got clarified with the release of the film’s title logo poster and also the special intro teaser of Alluri Seetharamaraju played by Ram Charan in the movie. She herself shared all the news to the world and the makers also confirmed that she’s the heroine of the film.

According to reports, the total number of days Alia will be working on the project is nearly 10 days no matter how many long takes or repeated takes legendary director Rajamouli insists on her. For that 10 days, we hear that she is charging a whopping 5 crores remuneration from the producers. That means, she will be taking home half crore (50 lakhs) per day, becoming one of the highest ever paid heroines for a Telugu movie.

Back then, the likes of Katrina Kaif and recently Nayantara are known for demanding exuberant sum from Telugu producers to sizzle in a film. But then, as it happens to be SS Rajamouli’s movie, surely the film needs some Bollywood faces such that the release will get bigger and better.

Malayalam Music composer M.K. Arjunan is no more

M.K. Arjunan, the last of the composers from the golden period of Malayalam cinema, died at Kochi in the early hours of Monday. He was 84.

In career that spanned over five decades, he tuned about 700 songs, many of them among the biggest hits of all time. His songs were celebrated as much as those of great composers like G. Devarajan (who was also his guru), M.S. Baburaj, V. Dakshinamoorthy and K. Raghavan.

Some of his songs were so good, many believed they were tuned by Devarajan, one of the most prolific and gifted composers of Indian cinema.

Arjunan may have been influenced by the style of his guru, but he never copied any of his tunes, or of anybody else for that matter. He belonged to an era when Malayalam film music had so many original tunes composed by some brilliantly original music directors.

His famous tunes include Yadukula rathidevane vide… (Rest House), Kasthoori manakkunnallo kaatte… (Picnic), Nin maniyarayile… (CID Nazir), Chandrarashmi than… (Anweshansm), Sukhamoru bindu…(Ithu Manushyano), Chembaka thaikal pootha… (Kathirunna Nimiaham), Kuyilinte maninaadam… (Padmavyooham) and Mallikappoovin madhura gandham… (Honeymoon).

Arjunan was among the first to notice the extraordinary gift of A.R. Rahman. He had made the prodigy play the keyboard for him.

WhatsApp announced a New stricter limit on forwarding messages

To slow the spread of misinformation via its platform, WhatsApp on Tuesday announced a new stricter limit on forwarding messages. Now, frequently forwarded messages — those which have been previously forwarded five times or more, can only be forwarded to one chat at a time.

“With billions of people unable to see their friends and family in person due to COVID-19, people are relying on WhatsApp more than ever to communicate. People are talking to doctors, teachers, and isolated loved ones via WhatsApp during this crisis,” the Facebook-owned firm said in a blog.

It, however, added that, “…we’ve seen a significant increase in the amount of forwarding which users have told us can feel overwhelming and can contribute to the spread of misinformation. We believe it’s important to slow the spread of these messages down to keep WhatsApp a place for personal conversation.”

WhatsApp said that its previous move to reduced limit on forwarded messages to constrain virality led to a 25% decrease in message forwards globally at the time.

The company had in 2018 started testing the forwarding limit of five chats at once in India, where people forward more messages, photos, and videos than any other country in the world. The forward limit was later introduced around the world in 2019.

The company had also started labeling messages that have been forwarded many times with double arrows to indicate they did not originate from a close contact. “In effect, these messages are less personal compared to typical messages sent on WhatsApp. We are now introducing a limit so that these messages can only be forwarded to one chat at a time,” it said.

In addition, the company said it is working directly with NGOs and governments, including the World Health Organization and over 20 national health ministries, to help connect people with accurate information.

Allu Arjun’s interesting New Movie Name

Well, even after taking a film that deals with female concern, we have named “Pink” as “Vakeel Saab” in Telugu, and that’s how hero-worshipping goes here. But then, few actors like Pawan Kalyan and Jr NTR sometimes decide to break it up as they have come up with titles like Attarintiki Daredi and Aravinda Sametha earlier. Looks like even Allu Arjun is also breaking the stereotypes now.

A hot rumour has emerged in film circles on Tuesday morning that the title of the film #AA20, Allu Arjun‘s next directed by Sukumar, is none other than “Pushpa”. Though “Seshachalam” is the working title in consideration for this movie from time, it is heard that director Sukumar wants to give the film’s title a feminine spin as the whole story revolves around the death of hero’s wife, to be played by Rashmika Mandanna.

Whether there is truth in this or not, Allu Arjun’s fans are amused by this title as they are not yet ready to accept such feminine titles for their hero’s movies. But then, in case if this is true, that will set new standards when it comes to naming films where our filmmakers are not any more concerned about using adjectives and superlatives that focus on hero’s bravery.

KCR informed Prime Minister Modi that extension of lock down is necessary

Telangana CM KCR has stated that he informed Prime Minister Modi that the extension of lock down is necessary. KCR, who briefed the media, said the situation is critical and the lock down is the only way to control the spread of the novel Corona Virus. He said there is no other option as of now as there is no vaccine, medicine to treat the Covid-19. Stressing the importance of life and health, KCR has asked the people to cooperate to the government during the lock down and asked everyone to abide my government’s rules.

Citing the report of Boston Consulting Group (BCG), CM KCR said the report has suggested to extend the lock down till June 3. He said if lock down is not extended, the number of Corona cases may increase in Telangana. He also said that the CMs of other states are also in touch with the Prime Minister.

Samantha is preparing a series of videos to be released very soon

Somewhere around March 24th, queen bee Samantha shared that her dog Hash and hubby Chaitanya are enjoying, and four days later she thanked everyone for winning Critics Choice Award for Oh Baby. Since then, the actress went dead silent on Instagram, leaving her fans in a shocker.

When it comes to using social media to the core, it is Samantha who taught the world how to do it. In Tollywood, she is known for her regular updates regarding fashion, food, workouts and other stuff on her Instagram page. And during the lockdown period, actually, many expected that she will storm the social media with her day to day, minute to minute updates. But then, it looks like the actress gave a break to social media during the quarantine.

However, some people close to the actress felt that Samantha is actually preparing a series of videos to be released very soon on her social media handles. They are explaining that this is the usual calm before the storm, but the actress will explode on social media in a couple of days time. Anyway, her fans are quite pained by her absence on social media as there is no post from her regarding Sunday evening light-up call given by PM Modi.

On the other hand, there is a buzz that Samantha’s newfound business, Ekam Learning, a playschool for kids, lost all the craze it created due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Maybe the actress is working on things as to how they should get the craze back for the school once the lockdown is lifted.

hero Gopichand’s helping hand to the poor

Giving helping hand to the poor people who are suffering the most due to coronavirus lockdown, hero Gopichand donated groceries to 1000 families. He distributed rice, dal and oil to the poor near Nandagiri Hills in Hyderabad for a month.

Telugus must feel proud the way Tollywood celebrities are coming forward to help the daily wage earners in the crisis time. While some are donating to CCC and CM relief funds, few others are helping the needy directly by distributing food and groceries.

Gopichand is presently starring in a sports drama Seetimaarr being helmed by Sampath Nandi. Tamannaah Bhatia is the leading lady.
