It doesn't matter if you have star parents - if you deliver a flop, filmmakers stop taking your calls, says Abhishek Bachchan, son of Indian cinematic icon Amitabh Bachchan.
Abhishek's career graph since his debut with Refugee in 2000 shows high and low points. If his performances in films like Guru, Dhoom, Bunty Aur Babli, Dostana and Bol Bachchan have been applauded, he has also earned his share of criticism for some of his career choices.
"I've completed 16 years in the industry and it has been a mix of highs and lows. There has been tremendous learning and I'm still hungry to do a lot more. It's been a great journey and it makes me happy and proud that I'm a part of this industry," Abhishek told IANS in an email interview arranged by Omega, the official timekeeper of Olympics. Abhishek is the brand ambassador for Omega.
"The low phase that I went through, I think, was necessary. It teaches you a lot. I believe there is no success without failure. It keeps you grounded and makes you appreciate things," Abhishek said when asked about his time in the industry.
He admits a flop film doesn't leave one feeling good.
"If we give a flop film, people stop taking our calls; then it does not matter whose kid you are. It's true that a flop is the worst feeling in the world and destroys you as a human being," added the 40-year-old actor.
An ardent believer in the power of staying positive, Abhishek said: "If you want good things to happen in your life, you first have to believe good things are possible for yourself".
"Every actor is very emotional and so am I. I feel it's important to learn to see the brighter side of life, and possess a sense of humour for that. My sense of humour has saved me many times when I have felt low," Abhishek said.
"When you are low, you have to be very positive and think of the bright side. And I think I am a very positive person," said Abhishek. He is married to actress Aishwarya Rai and they are parents to have daughter Aaradhya.
Abhishek said that he is not even affected by trolls on social media, which have often hit out at him for his choice of movies.
"If you are present on a social platform, you are available to everything on it and that's fair. It's all in jest and for fun. I just feel that once in a while, it's nice to give back to them some of their own medicine. And it's fun," he said.
However, he said, he stops being interactive when trolls cross a line. "The minute they stop being witty about it and start getting abusive, there's no more fun and you stop. That's it, but I enjoy it," he added.
Interestingly, the social media has emerged as a platform where actors whole-heartedly appreciate the work of their colleagues - this, despite the competition in the film industry.
"Definitely! There is no harm in appreciating good work. I believe in supporting and encouraging my peers. I think tinselville is going past the cliched catfights and is coming together in support of each other on all platforms," he said.
So far, the makers have not announced the film's heroine or the villain. In the Tamil original, Bollywood star Neil Nitin Mukesh's menacing act in the villain's role received a huge applause and thus, curiosity about the Telugu villain was high.
According to the latest buzz in the film circles, Bollywood actor and husband of former heroine Anjala Jhaveri, Tarun Arora has been finalised as Chiru's villain, although official announcement is awaited.
Incidentally, Chiru and Anjala Jhaveri acted together in films like Choodalani Undi and Shankardada MBBS. Anjala's last film in Tollywood was Shekar Kammula's Life Is Beautiful. On the other hand, Tarun Arora is gaining popularity in Tamil films with his villain roles in films like Kanithan and Kaththi Sandai. -

Today, Anushka expresses her gratitude for Nag, Directors and Producers for helping her survive so long.

Neither Vijayakanth nor his Wife turned up before the court for any of the past four hearings.
On Tuesday, Principal District Judge Alamelu Natarajan issued arrest warrant against Vijayakanth and Premalatha.

Directed by Parasuram, "Srirastu Subhamastu" bagged U/A certificate after going through Censor scissors today. While there is not much bloodshed in the film, we hear that glamour dose of Lavanya Tripathi has got the U/A certificate. Censor members are heard raving about film's comedy and emotional quotient as well.
On August 5th, this Sirish-Lavanya starrer is going to release in huge number of theatres.
In that context, Katrina Kaif's latest dance number "Kala Chesma" for the film "Baar Baar Dekho" is getting huge appreciation for her hotness. Apparently the way Katrina moved her waist to create belly dance like rhythmic moments, is going to surprise all. The whole song has this teasing of hotness from the Indian origin English beauty.
Meanwhile if we have to talk about the song, it's neither catchy nor the tune is so intriguing with hook lines in it.
Speaking to a daily, Vijay said: 'I don't want to comment on the issue right now. I will abide by the decision of my parents'.
In a way, Vijay didn't disapprove the Divorce reports. He clearly mentions that everything depends on what his Father & Mother decide - Divorce or Patch-Up?
Vijay's Parents were against Amala Paul signing films after Marriage. But, The Actress wishes to follow her heart and do what she loves the most. This eventually led to differences between the Young Couple.
Since last November, Amala Paul stopped sharing photos of herself with hubby Vijay. This prompted people to believe that something has gone wrong and the recent media reports have only confirms their relationship has struck rock bottom.
Even director Boyapati Srinu was supposed to use the classic title of Pushpaka Vimanam for his film. For his next that features Bellamkona Srinivas as a hero, Boyapati, initially thought of this title. As we all know, Kamal's Pushpaka Vimanam is a trendsetter those days. However Boyapati failed to use it because the title doesn't have mass appeal.
Leave the mass appeal of this title, will Boyapati's mass subjects suite this title? Thank God, he relieved that title from going into a punch.
There are no takers for the film in overseas. Though there's a stiff competition in abroad for the distribution of Telugu films of late and the competition is high even for small-hero films, shockingly Sunil's Jakkanna have no takers.
Especially Sunil's last film Krishnashtami was bought in overseas for around Rs 80 Lakh. And much to the dismay, the film even failed to recover its expenses, publicity cost. The distributors suffered heavy losses and no one come to their rescue.This is now said to have telling affect on Jakkanna. Looks like, Sunil's Jakkanna may not hit the screens on July 29 simultaneously with India. Unless the movie receives good talk and positive reviews here, the film may not be released in overseas.
Sunil, who is going through a lean phase, had his last solo success four years ago - Poola Rangadu (2012). He got three poor hits in form of Mr Pellikodudu, Bhimavaram Bullodu and Krishnashtami. He is now pinning all hopes on his next. It's now or never for situation for Sunil. He has to prove himself to continue as hero. -
The concept of drive-in theaters is a rarity in India. With a very few even existing in the country, an entrepreneur has set-up Andhra Pradesh's first drive-in theater.
The drive-in was inaugurated by CM Chandrababu Naidu yesterday in Vizag. The theater also contains regular seats apart from people who drive up their cars and park them in front of the screen.
The complex includes a food court as well as a play area as well. The theater is expected to be open for public soon.
Shraddha has of late slowed down doing Tollywood films and she is currently awaiting the release of a low budget horror thriller titled Punnami Rathri. -
The reasons for Pragya out of the project are not revealed. It was earlier reported that she had liked the story, her role and only after her nod, she came on board, she quitting from the film has now become talking point.
It's learnt that the makers have already begun their hunt to fill Pragya's spot and buzz is that the space would be filled soon.
Pragya, who is in news of late more for her live performances than her films, has only one offer in her kitty right now. She will be next seen in Nagarjuna-K Raghavendra Rao's forthcoming devotional film Om Namo Venkatesaya.
At a time, her peers are going fast, Pragya seems to be going slow. Looks like, she needs to increase her pace. -
Kabali is once again proving the power of a star at the box office. The film is doing mind-boggling business all over in spite of poor content and bad talk.
Kabali has collected over $ 4 Million in USA/Canada and has high chances to collect $ 5 Million in this territory in its entire theatrical run. Overseas buyer who has bought the rights of Kabali (all versions) for 8.5 crore is smiling all the way to the bank.
Kabali has proved that pre release hype and a superstar could make wonders at the box office irrespective of the quality of the product. Now overseas buyers are going insane and betting big on upcoming big films.
As per sources a distributor has offered 12 crore for overseas distribution rights of Chiranjeevi's upcoming 150th film.
Distributors are expecting Chiru's 150 to have tremendous pre release buzz as it is Megastar's reentry movie. But 12 crore is a huge amount to recover if the film fails to live up to expectations.
For example Sardaar Gabbar Singh was bought for 10.5 crore and Brahmotsavam for 13 crore by the overseas buyers. They have lost a lot on both the movies.
Surprisingly makers of Chiru150 have turned down the offer as they are expecting 15 Crore from overseas rights!
Harshavardhan Rane is a well-known hero in Tollywood through his films like Avunu, Na Ishtam and Prema Ishq Kadhal etc. The handsome hero later shifted his base to Bollywood and acted in a couple of Hindi films, Satra Ko Shaadi Hain and Sanam Teri Kasam.
According to the latest reports, Harsha has bagged a plum offer in the form of Gharshana's Hindi remake. This Mani Ratnam's classic hit will be remade into Hindi by Bejoy Nambiar and it will also feature Tamil star Dhanush, who well reprise Karthi's role while Harsha will enact Prabhu's role.
Glamorous actress Trisha generated a lot of interest among her fans when the first look of her Tamil film – Nayagi was released in Chennai in Augustt 2015.
The social media also gave it huge hype by describing it as a crime thriller with Trisha in the lead role. And it got a very good response.
It was dubbed into Telugu with the title "Nayaki." Everybody thought this film would become a big hit, since there is a lot of demand for heroine-oriented thrillers and horror movies of late.
However, nobody knew when the film was released in theatres and when it was taken off, as the film has not generated any interest among the audiences.
The biggest mistake of the film makers was that they had released the film at a time when the entire nation was swaying to the fever of Kabali. And there was absolutely no pre-release and post-release publicity for this Trisha thriller.
What is more, Trisha was nowhere in the publicity campaign, whether it was in Tamil or Telugu version. As a result, nobody bothered about the film.
Trisha did the solo role in the film at a time when no hero was interested in acting with her. With the film bombing at the box office, is it the end of the road for Trisha in film industry?
A chilling footage of a Tiger attacking a woman at a Tiger Enclosure has sent shock waves. This unfortunate incident happened at the Beijing Badaling Safari World in China.
As per reports, The Woman got down from the car after a heated argument with her Family Members. Within no time, A Tiger pounced on her and dragged her away. Although one of the family members tried to save her but its too late by then.
Visitors were strictly warned not to get down from their vehicles when they were in the Siberian Tiger enclosure. The woman broke the norm and paid a huge price.
According to Media Reports, The first woman who was dragged by the tiger got away with injuries but other woman who tried to save her was killed by another Tiger.
Venkatesh's Babu Bangaram audio is okay but not so impressive. Music director Ghibran, who has done a fabulous job in Run Raja Run audio album, failed to score at least one song that is as catchy as Bujjima Bujjima in Babu Bangaram.
Babu Bangaram songs may sound alright after repeated listening, but they don't have that lasting feel to them. Even the melody songs aren't catchy enough.
Babu Bangaram title song has a catchy tune, but even that isn't a great song except for few catchy lines. Raaka Raaka is the best of the lot, but again it is not even close to Ghibran's earlier golden melody Vaddantune from Run Raja Run.
Mallela Vaana may appeal after repeated listening. Snehithudo sounds like an eighties song. Tikku Tikkantu is targeted at the masses. Dillunna Vaade is similar to Ghibran's 'Man on Fire' song from Jil.
On a whole Babu Bangaram is just an okay album. Let's see if they seem better with the visuals.
Remember, how a popular Telugu television channel tried to cash in on the controversial posed by the interviewer to YSR Congress party MLA R K Roja by using it as a promo?
The interviewer asked the actress-turned-politician as to whether there was any truth in the allegations of the TDP leaders that she had acted in blue films.
Roja was in tears when he asked the question and wondered why he was speaking like a TDP leader. He, however, changed the tack and asked the same question again in a different form: "Being from a reputed family, how do you feel when somebody alleges that you had acted in blue films?"
This was also a disgusting question, but Roja behaved in a composed manner and answered the same. And the channel used the same for its promo on its twitter page: ""#Roja acted in blue films? Watch her answer on the channel."
Even after receiving brickbats from the audiences, the channel did not mend its ways. It tried to play the same trick this time with former minister from Nellore Anam Vivekanand Reddy.
The same person who interviewed Roja asked Anam about his pre-marriage sexcapades. "I beg you; please don't trouble me with such questions and drag me into your trap. Why do you want to know about something that happened before marriage long ago?" Anam pleaded.
Yet, the anchor did not relent and tried to pose the same question repeatedly in different forms.
"Why are you asking me about the girls in the past? You are trying to create rift in my family by asking such questions. You are not a gentleman; you have come to Nellore only to separate me and my wife," Anam retorted.
On Sunday. The trio played loud music and caused disturbance to the locals at Srimangala in Kodagu district. That's when some of the residents including Former Gram Panchayat President Mandamada Tejappa questioned it and asked them to leave immediately. This resulted in a brawl between the two groups and finally the locals have thrashed the trio.
Although Tejas and Ganesh fled from the spot, Deepu Rai was nabbed by the people in the locality. Later, He was handed over to the cops and a complaint has been filed.
In the film being directed by newcomer Chandramohan, Sharwa will be seen as a cop and he romances Lavanya Tripathi and Aksha. This film is being produced by BVSN Prasad and this is his 25th film. In his next movie, Sharwa acts in Dil Raju's Satamanam Bhavathi which will also have two heroines. This film is being directed by writer Satish Vegesna.
Seems like Sharwa for the first time is romancing two heroines, and twice.
Much to everyone's shock, Vasanth Paul was unable to take the cops accompanying him to the place where the incident happened. Neither the woman nor the auto driver has been traced so far. Mr.Vasanth told to police that he wasn't able to report to the nearest police station as he was intoxicated.
Upon reading the post, Anchor Anasuya vented out her anger on the trio and heaped praises on Vasanth Paul for saving the woman. Even this man received word-of-praise from many quarters for his gutsy act.
The statement of police raise the doubts if the whole incident was just a creation of Vasanth Paul. Did this man shared the post under the influence of alcohol? or Was he just unable to guide the cops to the exact location?

The Bench comprising Justices JS Khehar and Arun Mishra took the call after going through the medical report submitted by a Team of Doctors at the KEM Hospital. They came to the opinion that continuance of the pregnancy would be a big threat to the life of the woman.
As per The Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, 1971, Abortion after the 20th week of pregnancy isn't permitted. Centre, however, issued a clarification that a 20-week cap on aborting pregnancy isn't applicable if the pregnant woman's life is in danger.
The Woman, who alleged her fiancé has raped her on the pretext of marriage, moved SC against 20-week cap on abortion citing its a violation of the right to lead a dignified life.
Here in this latest picture released from the film, Katrina once again poured loads of oomph. As we could notice her hot cleavage and flattened abdomen creating all magic, Kat says that the song "Kala Chasma" is going to be much hotter than expected. Probably this is the tempting teasing ever by the hot lady who has debuted in south long back with Malleswari movie.
Kala Chasma song will be released tomorrow. Till then, feast on this picture folks.
Allu Arjun tweeted: 'All the Best Dad , @AlluSirish @Itslavanya , Dir & the whole team of SS'. Just because its the film of his lil brother, Stylish Star refrained from showering praises and enjoying the positive feedback instead.
Nani, Pranitha and SS Karthikeya found 'Srirastu Subhamastu' trailer so refreshing and entertaining. They were pretty confident that the positive vibe will make it a super hit.
Geetha Arts didn't hesitate to rope Character Artiste who charge a bomb although Sirish doesn't have a big market. Prakash Raj, Rao Ramesh, Sumalatha and several established actors were roped for pivotal roles. This Production House always believed in content and hence the impressive success rate. 'Srirastu Subhamastu' arrives on August 5th.
During the release of this film, Shradda even got a hot and spicy photoshoot done, and the photos from this shoot have kept teasing. Here comes another such hot picture as she stares directly into the eyes of the onlooker. And in that short blouse, the fit one, she's giving a fantastic peek of her hot curves that are going to melt rocks too.
Unfortunately all these hot gimmicks didn't worked at box office, as Great Grand Masti failed to woo viewers.
