Particularly when one is on success track for long may miss a point or two while making a decision thus inviting criticism from unknown quarters.
If one goes by cricketing example, no one dared to utter a single word against God of Cricket, Sachin Tendulkar till five years back.
But everyone started baying for his blood considering his age, when he started failing in couple of matches, asking for his retirement with even some of his die hard fans joining the demand.
Film industry atleast presents top stars a unique opportunity to make a perfect changeover from hero roles to other dignified and powerful roles like the one played by Mohan Babu and Rajanikanth in Pedarayudu sometime back.
Many film critics are talking in open about tollywood's top three heroes Natasimha Balakrishna, Victory Venkatesh and King Nagarjuna who ruled the industry for many decades.
Many feel time is fast running out for the top three. Mega Star Chiranjeevi chose to enter politics handing over his legacy to his son Mega Power Star Ram Charan Teja.
All the three crossed 50s, and though Venky is younger of the lot, Nag scores in personality and still many feel that he has it in him for hero roles with the envious looks of 'Manmadhudu'.
However he was the first to realise this change over and handed over the baton to his son Naga Chaitanya. His starring in films like 'Gaganam', 'Rajanna', 'Damarukam' and 'Shirdi Sai' shows that as a keen thinker and intelligent person, he is smoothly sailing over other roles.
Venky also tried for similar change over with 'Eenadu' and 'Bodyguard' but pouring cold water on his aspirations these films didnot succeeed.
Sources say he is playing a different role in 'Seetamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu'.
Balakrishna has extraordinary stamina but 'Adhinayakudu' sent warning signals for him that he doesn't suit genex sensational dancing roles any more. The message is loud and clear for Balayya that he will excel in powerful roles like in Simha and senior role in Adhinayakudu.
More recently tollywood is facing the scarcity of heroines for older heroes and Balayya too experienced the problem in Parama Veera Chakra and Adhinayakudu.
Unlike couple of years back, heroines started refusing roles opposite top stars citing age as was seen in Mass Raja Raviteja's case.
In olden days, people used to see and enjoy ANR, NTR going to college and romance with heroines of the age of their grand daughters.They relished though mega wave in form of Mega Star Chiru stormed silverscreen with his dances.
If the same films are played now, people used to curse themselves how they tolerated them in those years.
Of all the years only Natabhooshana Sobhan Babu stunned all retiring from films when he was still entertaining family audience with his romantic looks and two heroines on his side.
Chandra Mohan, Bhanu Chander, Suman, Rajendra Prasad all made this transformation and have settled in character roles.
Only path, these heroes have is, make a change over and select roles that suit their age. Though there are many such roles in films, film makers are opting for kollywood or sandalwood senior stars like Prabhu, Sarath Kumar, Parthiban, Prakash Raj and others.
Venky can easily play roles as Prakash Raj did in Bommarillu, Nuvve Nuvve and others.
The process for change should start from heroes themselves and should think that entertaining movie lovers in different roles is better than fading into oblivion with string of flops doing only hero roles.
If our top stars introspect, they won't be aleniating movie lovers, leaving their fans disappointed.

Saucy seductress Lakshmi Rai is recently gossiped that she has spent a whole night with a director in a luxury room of a London Hotel. The busty siren has condemned all those reports before revealing the actual. Actually, the room allotted to Lakshmi Rai is preoccupied by some guests who forced our beauty to stay in director's room for that night. Later in the night, she is heard creating nuisance both for the movie crew and hotel management. But, Lakshmi stated that she moved out of that place immediately when there is no space for her to stay. Reportedly, she joined at another hotel. All this happened when she is shooting for songs for an upcoming Tamil movie in London. While rumors and glamour are in plenty around this hot siren, if is offers that are not knocking her door.
The big, fat wedding of Ram Charan and Upasana was attended by all the well-known South Indian film personalities on 14th of this month at Temple Tree farmhouse of Kaminenis. Apart from blessing the newly wed couple, they extended their warm wishes to Mega-Kamineni families.
Few celebs who missed the wedding due to their busy schedules, came all the way to hotel Novotel where the grand reception is being held. But, one man who wantedly gave a skip to both wedding and reception is none other than Dasari Narayana Rao.
Reportedly, Chiru sent his brother-in-law Allu Aravind to Dasari's house to invite him for his son's wedding. When the senior director enquired about Chiru, Allu said that Megastar is busy with marriage works and by-poll campaign. "He has time for everyone, but not for me. Okay, I will also send my brother-in-law to the wedding," Dasari yelled at Allu in a harsh tone.
There is still no clarity on whether Dasari really sent his brother-in-law for wedding, but this news spread like wildfire and has become a big talk in the Industry. Sources close to the director say, Dasari feels insulted with Chiru intentionally avoiding him despite receiving several favours from him in the past like Padma Bhushan and etc., Seems like, the tiff between Chiru and Dasari mayn't be ending anytime soon!
Aishwarya, who was last seen on the big screen in "Guzaarish", said she is not thinking of returning to work just as yet. "We will see as things go. Right now, it is blissful (to be with the baby)."
"I have never thought about dream roles." Answering the same question, Abhishek said, "We live our dreams on a daily basis."
the couple cherish the greatest day of their life together and it is the say when they got married to each other… looks like all those Aish ka fans have to wait for some more time to see their favorite actress on screen again…
With SVSC setting the trend for
multistarrer movies many other heroes are showing interest to share screen space with other noted actors. Yet another multistarrer is going to take off tomorrow in Tollywood. Akkineni Naga Chaitanya and Sunil are playing the lead roles in this film. It is a remake of Tamil hit Vettai. Sunil will play the role of a timid cop and Chaitanya does the hot blooded youth role in it. Dolly (Kishore) of Konchem Ishtam Konchem Kashtam fame is wielding the megaphone for this film. Bellamkonda Suresh is producing this action comedy. Hansika will play the love interest of Chaitanya and Sunil's pair is yet to be zeroed in. Vettai was an out and out commercial entertainer which is also being remade in Hindi. This film has all the ingredients to lure the masses and we could expect Dolly to offer a full fledged masala meal. Dolly did a pretty decent job in KIKK and has waited long enough to take up his next assignment. Sunil and Chaitanya playing brothers will surely help the film to grab the attention of youngsters as well as mass audiences. Let's hope SVSC and this film to set path for many more multistarrers in the coming days.
Any new spark on the block makes our audiences excited initially. The air in Film Nagar is waving toward this beautiful young girl who scorched audience in a single sleeve top, loose hair and with magical voice. Tollywood is going excited over one Ranina Reddy who has rocked the stage of 'Julayi' audio launch by singing a peppy number. She is well known in film circuits for singing lilting melodies in the song 'Oola Olalaa' from 'Orange' and in movies like Saarai Veeraju, Veera, U & I and Saroja. Her rawness in voice and sensuality in dressing is making Tollywood go head over heels for this beauty. Ranina is a Telugu girl settled in Bangalore and is now planning to take TFI by a storm for the kind of opportunities she is getting. Earlier we have seen singers like Smitha and Mamta Mohandas turning into actresses, but only with meagre success. Let us see what is there in the store for Ranina!
Their intimacy was such that undoubtedly one could say that something was really cooking between them.
They were supposed to perform together at IIFA in Singapore for a song in this movie to promote their ‘Teri Meri Kahani’. The right platform to show case the industry and the audience about the movie which is about to release. They have practiced well priorly to perform on the grand event and guess what, the lady arrives late and even threw tantrums on people around.
As a gift to her tantrums and late arrival their performance was cancelled.
Was it stunt to disappoint Shahid wantedly? Or the star image is hitting the head hard?
Whatever it may be, Shahid and Priyanka never fail to make it to the top news.
Well, nothing is unfair in Love and War.
In this regard, media has asked Sruthi if the responsibility on her after the success of 'Gabbar Singh' has increased or not... responding to the same, Sruthi said, ‘I don’t believe in success changing the working style or viewing the things from the different end… right from my debut film till date, I have always been responsible towards my Job and I am into films because I love this profession… just because I am successful today, that does not mean there is a huge change in my career… I am the same, and here after would accept the roles that help me elevate as an actress just as I have been doing right from my debut film ‘luck’, said the actress…
However, this year seems to be more than lucky for this heroine… after all she is the part of one of the block buster films this year and bagged an opportunity to act opposite none other than Power Star Pawan Kalyan…
Otherwise, Trisha is only known to do glamorous roles or girl next door roles again filled with glamour in her films all these years… she was never okay with acting in heroine oriented or off beat films… even now, the actress seems to have no interest on award winning films… only commercial flicks are an option for this actress….
Even luck seems to be favoring Trisha…. Even after all these years of her debut as an actress, she ended up pairing with young actor N.T.R. in ‘Dammu’…
"The TRS cannot ensure Telangana state formation as it has only two MPs. The BJP has sufficient members in Parliament to realize the dream of the people of the region," she said. Probably hurt by the leader's campaign the TRS vented its ire on the leader indirectly say sources. He also asked the BJP leader who was the Opposition leader in the Parliament that when the whole world was voicing its opinion over Jagan's corruption, why she was silent over the issue. He added that the BJP was supporting the YSR Congress and wanted Jagn to win the Parakala seat. The TRS leader also said that all parties must join hands across boundry lines to work for Telangana formation.
This year, when it comes to the genre of socio fantasy films is concerned more than regular ratio of films, when compared to the earlier years is being made in South...
In T - Town alone, as of now, we have S.S. Raja Mouli’s ‘Eega’ and King Nagarjuna’s ‘Dhamarukam’ in which the importance of graphics is really high and this is one of the main reasons the release of these films is getting postponed... the release of ‘Eega’ is being postponed to July from May and we have no clue when ‘Dhamarukam’ would hit the silver screen....
Even Super Star Rajni Kanth is working on entertaining the audience with a out and out fiction genre ka film titled ‘kochadiyan’… Rajni’s look in the film, in the recently released first look is turning out to be a highlight and it is understood that graphics have a major role to play in this film as well...
Looks like ‘graphics’ would rule some of the major films in South this year… if this works out, all fine… if something goes here and there, the film maker, distributor and in turn the business of the film industry would be at stake…
She claims to be the trend setter. And is happy to be a trend setter than following somebody. She commented on hiring stylists. She has started hiring stylists and people started following her. She thinks we can talk of somany when it comes to films , but when it comes to fashion its only her, as per her.
Guess what, Katrina is not the first to be commented on, in the list are Aishwarya, Shobha De, Abhay Deol, Ranbir Kapoor. Well, 5 years in the industry, 6 films to her credit and not a single notable hit at BO. Probably this is what makes her envy of dear Katrina who is most sought after in the industry and the Bollywood Khans are waiting for her dates. Poor Sonam, Its getting tough to digest the facts and is hitting at contemporaries.

The bikini culture is quite common in Bollywood and what was meant to be a forte of the item bombshells and vamps has now shifted to the heroines league and that too the top league. However, the culture is yet to spread so quickly in the south but it is slowly picking up. Now, one more name is ready to join the bikini league. She is the doe eyed beauty Amala Paul. Recently, Amala was sharing her thoughts when she reportedly mentioned that one can be firm on not compromising when it comes to bagging film offers but in front of the camera, nothing works. Amala has done Bezawada with Naga Chaitanya, which left her in dismay and nothing else. She maintained that it is mandatory to be glamorous and she has no personal objection in donning a bikini or giving a visual feast to the audience. Amala was also heard stating that it is not just her but many other starlets who are willing to do such stints. For now, let us wait to see when Amala will arrive in that avatar.
Considered as one of the finest beauties of Telugu Industry, Bhumika Chawla is again returning to full time acting in Telugu industry. Indeed, this is sending bad signals across the tinsel town. After burning her hands as a producer for 'Thakita Thakita' along with her yoga-guru husband, the celebrity couple of Bharat Takur and Bhumika Chawla are debt ridden. After taking a stipulated break to recover from the blow, she is now joining as a heroine opposite Jagapathi Babu in upcoming movie 'April Fools'. They say that it is normal for bachelor heroines to rise and fall and rise, but being a married aunty, Bhumika's acts might get her only B-grade flicks. There is also a chance of ending up like Arthi Agarwal who has done some sleazy flicks after marriage and is seen nowhere now. Critics are feeling that Bhumika is still having that aura on her face to mesmerize Telugu youths unlike Arthi babe. Let us see.
While being part of the film industry is one thing, doing good films under good directors is another thing. But once a good break is got, it is the responsibility of the actors to play their cards wisely and shape up their career before it is too late. However, one girls seems to struggle in that department. She is the Telugu beauty Madhushalini. Though she is part of the cine circuit since few years, she is yet to register a hit. However, things changed for Madhu in the recent past as she was roped in by the Tamil director Bala for 'Vaadu-Veedu'. This was followed by Ram Gopal Varma with the film 'Department'. In 'Department', Madhu is seen smoking cigar and had a rugged role. However, despite all these stints and big breaks, the pretty girl is currently seeking opportunities. While Madhu still has the right kind of material in her, let us wish she gets some juicy offers in the future.
If a sexy heroine on silver screen quits acting these days, it is not the end of show from her. After entering their 'aunty' age, these women are trying luck once again on TVs. Yesteryear hotties like Roja and Amani are busy enthralling the audiences on small-screen with their spineless game shows. But none of them are having the same old glamour or beauty to make everyone speechless. One such beautiful girl who is still having that glow on her face is now joining them to give a tough fight. She is none other than yesteryear siren Meena. She is all set to rock small screen with her upcoming reality show 'Ne Kongu Bangaram Gaanu'. Comparatively, this aunty stands on top both as a glamour-doll and performer than Roja and Amani during those times. We have to now see how Meena will tackle these two boring aunties to bring smiles on the faces of family audience.
