"It's a dream come true for to me to work with Murugadoss sir. None of the rumors about the film are true. It's a commercial film but it's too early to talk about it," clarifies Mahesh.
Murugadoss initially considered to make Tamil version of the movie with Vijay, but he dropped the idea and has decided to shoot both the versions with Mahesh Babu who has made his mark in Tamil cinema with recent releases. Moreover, Murugadoss fame is expected to favor the film generating buzz in Kollywood. -

Interim, Mahesh Babu is busy promoting Brahmotsavam which is set to hit the screens on May 20th. On the other hand, AR Murugadoss is presently working for his forthcoming Bollywood venture Akira starring Sonakshi Sinha. -
After making a promising start to his career, Sundeep Kishan slowly lost track with some of his last films ending up being huge duds. Now, after a brief gap he is looking to strike back and is ready with a film called Oka Ammai Tappa.
The film which has star actress Nithya Menen who is the major attraction of the film. The promotions are being carried mostly on her name and Sundeep is cashing in on her stardom and is promoting the film heavily with her name.
Even during the audio launch, Nithya was giving an upper hand and was looked like a super star. The film has an important role for the heroine and who better than Nithya to do the honours and bring a weight to the film.
With a desperately needed hit in his career, Sundeep has set his goals clear and is using every other opportunity to hit back. Let's hope that the lady luck helps him this time around -

Srikanth Addala directed Brahmotsavam is very special movie for PVP, since it's not just highest budgeted movie in his banner and has susperstar Mahesh in lead role, he could get to work with prominent actors and technicians for around four months.
"We have worked for about 116 days for Brahmotsavam. You will see screen full of artists. Everybody- the artists and technicians were popular personalities.

Besides charging Telangana Govt, YSR Congress president YS Jaganmohan Reddy who is doing Jala Deeksha made strong remarks on Chandrababu Naidu and AP Govt. Nagari MLA RK Roja also came down heavily on Chandrababu Naidu.
Interestingly, some of the young visitors were seen taking selfies with Jagan. While, Jagan owned media is using the pictures (selfies captured by visitors) to promote the Deeksha, others are making fun of it. Some say 'Is it Jala Deeksha or Selfie Deeksha'. Amusingly, Jagan who posed for the selfies is seen smiling, when being captured.
TDP leader Gali Muddu Krishnama Naidu made satirical remarks saying, Jagan Jala Deeksha is appearing to be cinema shooting. He also fired on Roja for her remarks over Chandrababu.
"Chandrababu is pressurizing centre over Palamuru-Rangareddy and Dindi lift irrigation projects. Permission is must for new projects. We are soon going to see Chandrababu Naidu's Swarnayugam (golden era) part-2," said he. -
Artists adopt innovative or interesting ways to promote their films or music album or their other invention. Bollywood star singer Sonu Nigam turned an old beggar and performed on busy Mumbai streets.
This entire episode has been shot with secret cameras and the video titled 'The Roadside Ustaad' is going viral on net. Apparently, those who haven't recognized Sonu, while passing through the way would get shocked seeing this video.
While few have recorded Sonu's singing on their phones, one young guy asked him whether he had eaten anything. Later, the young guy gave Rs 12 to the star singer.
Actually, this social experiment conducted by a popular Youtube channel 'Being Indian' was to find out 'how Indians react to beauty when it is just around the corner.'
Later after removing the makeup, Sonu Nigam said that, it was a humbling experience for him. The singer who framed Rs 12 given by a young guy affirmed to meet him again and give back something. -
It has been all over about Kajal's forced kiss by Randeep Hooda for 'Do Lafzon Ki Kahaani' and that she was embarrassed about the scene. Kajal did not speak a word about the smooch scene, but here comes the director Deepak Tijori throwing some light on it.
According to Deepak Tijori, it is true that Kajal Agarwal was kissed by Randeep Hooda without intimation and she withdrew herself calling for a cut. She backed off for sometime in embarrassment as she refused to kiss earlier, given her super-stardom in South and this kiss may damage her image there. But when the director pacified her and explained her the need for kiss to give life to the emotional moment, Kajal reportedly found herself comfortable then and gave a tight smooch with all the passion.
Well, that's quite a clarity. So, watch out for first ever smooch of Kajal Agarwal on screen and we have a great reason to be envious of Randeep Hooda now!
Allu Arjun spoke his heart and mind to make fans know why he felt uncomfortable and irked with fans shouts at audio launch, trending wars, social media cheap fights and much more. But this all meant nothing to some fans of Pawan Kalyan and Allu Arjun who got themselves into muscle fights somewhere between seats at the same Oka Manasu audio release event.
These reluctant fans might have exchanged punches exactly when Bunny asked all the fans to stop those group wars which ultimately disgusts all the mega heroes. When fan wars really disappoint star heroes, wrestling right infront of them must be the most unpleasant thing ever. -
No doubt, Niharika Konidela has carved out a niche for herself with TV shows and web series. Yet her looks, in the recently released teaser of her debut film Oka Manasu, are not so appealing and they're defying the normal looks of regular heroines. Clad in simple sarees, Niharika looked like girl-next-door and many're wondering whether she is heroine material or not.
Well, Niharika might be attempting something new and against traditional heroines who stick to glam roles and she might be testing her hand at non-stereotyped roles. But the moot question is that will Telugu audiences accept her in this avatar? Usually, these kinda roles would be seen in Tamil cinema and audiences there welcome actresses in de-glam avatar with open hands.
Even Sri Divya, of Mallela Teeram Lo Sirimalle Chettu, shifted her base to Chennai and she has rung up the ladder in Kollywood with ease. Considering this, it needs to be seen how Telugu audiences would respond to her maiden movie. Let's wait and see. -
Jr.NTR is currently working on 'Janatha Garage' directed by Koratala Siva. The first look of this film is expected to release on 19th May. The latest news we heard is that NTR has left his car and bought a new car.
After his marriage in 2011, NTR was seen using a black color 'Range Rover'. It was reportedly his sentimental car. Recently, he was fined for using black tint on his car windows. Now, NTR is all set to change his 'Range Rover' with a 'BMW' series seven car. He was spotted hanging around in his new 'BMW' these days.
Reports say that NTR felt that that car was a bit unlucky as he faced so many flops all these years. Now, NTR is trying to sell his old car. Let us see whether any celebrity buys that car just like Ravi Teja who bought Chiru's car. -
Superstar Mahesh Babu's last movie Srimanthudu was a runaway hit. Buzz is positive on his upcoming film Brahmotsavam. So, distributors are keen on investing big amounts to acquire the movie rights. As per trade reports, Brahmotsavam pre-release business has crossed Rs 85 crore mark.
Nizam, Ceded and Andhra rights were sold for 18 cr, 8.5 cr and 25.5 cr respectively. Karnataka rights fetched 6.75 crore for the makers and overseas deal was closed for 13 cr. Rest of India business is said to be around 2 cr. Overall, theatrical rights fetched 74 cr. Satellite rights of the movie were bought by Zee Telugu for Rs 11.20 crores.
So including satellite, theatrical, audio and other rights, Brahmotsavam total pre release business will be over 85 cr. Mahesh Babu's last movie Srimanthudu had made Rs 79 crores pre release business approximately and had provided huge profits to all the parties involved in the film's business.
Hope, Brahmotsavam will also make producers, distributors and other happy by doing strong business at box office too! - See more at: h
Finally, Allu Arjun took some time and patience at Oka Manasu music release to break his silence on #CheppanuBrother controversy and his words are so clear that they can put an end to this fan war.
Allu Arjun clarified on why he refused to talk about Pawan Kalyan when fans are shouting for it, saying that a particular group of powerstar fans are intentionally disrupting the events and that is the only reason for avoiding the mention of Pawan.
It is a rare chance for many artists to grab a mic at audio events and with Powerfans shouts, they conclude their speeches so early in a confusion and obligation to satisty the powerfans. Bunny asks Pawan Kalyan fans to allow them to speak to share their personal feelings and then they will be able to speak at large about Pawan kalyan later. He reminds the responsibility of fans to respect a director who wants to share few words on an event stage.
Allu Arjun reminds that Pawan Kalyan too said it more than 100 times that what he is today is because of Chiranjeevi, but disrupting Chiranjeevi speeches at functions with 'Powerstar' shouts is absolutely wrong. -
Bunny blames fans for avoiding Pawan kalyan topic as he feels disconnected when fans insulted Chiranjeevi, who is the only reason for any megahero to be there in films. He reminds that he praised Pawan kalyan and he expressed his admiration for him all these years and there need not be a special mention each and everytime. Bunny even mentioned that how other heroes get irked with 'powerstar' shouts at a not mega hero event.
Allu Arjun openly expressed his disappointment on his own fans and Pawan Kalyan fans for their cheap verbal war on social networks, because that group fights defame the whole megafamily including Pawan kalyan and Chiranjeevi.
Allu Arjun finally clarified on miscoumminication happened much before he thought of sharing these words directly at an event and that is why he refused to comment on #CheppanuBrother in news daily interviews, as they split into thousand different versions from there.
Bunny did not miss word he thought of and that is one fair and strong clarification from him. Concluding the speech, Bunny said 'powerstar' once and asked the fans if they are happy! -
HYDERABAD: Apple's Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook is expected to be in Hyderabad on Thursday to announce the opening of the company's first technology development centre outside the US. There has also been a buzz that during the visit, he will take out time to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Sources in the government said official communication had only mentioned that a team of Apple executives will be here but had not specified about Tim Cook's plans to attend.
But Telangana's IT minister KT Rama Rao dropped a broad hint on Twitter.
The state government was keen to have a media buzz but Apple had wanted to keep it low-key.
The event on Thursday morning at Waverock SEZ, an IT campus, is likely to be attended also by Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao.
The centre will be Apple's digital mapping facility, with servers in the US and all technical and support services sourced from Hyderabad, according to Telangana's IT secretary Jayesh Ranjan.
Ram Gopal Varma directed upcoming Hindi movie Veerappan is slated to release on May 27th. The maverick director collected his research material based upon interviews with Veerappan's former gang members, people who used to mediate between him and the government and also from officers who were a part of the operation to capture him.
It is revealed that, the film will have a scene where Veerappan plans to kidnap superstar Rajinikanth, in the same way he had kidnapped Kannada superstar Rajkumar. Fortunately, Veerappan's plot to kidnap Rajini had been failed owing to unknown reasons.
It is a known fact that, Rajkumar was held for 108 days and finally released without harm in November 2000. Karnataka government paid Rs 20 crore for his release.
"From all the truth I gathered, Veerappan was unbelievable, but what is even more unbelievable is the drama which went behind the plan to kill him," said RGV in an interview.
Sandeep Bharadwaj portrayed the title role, whereas Sachiin Joshi will be seen as police officer. Usha Jadhav and Lisa Ray are other prominent cast in the film. As informed by RGV, Veerappan is not a remake of his Telugu-Kannada super-hit film Killing Veerappan.

First look of the movie is expected to be out on June 10th, on the eve of Balakrishna's birthday. As we reported earlier, the makers are planning to release the movie on January 12th for Sankranthi 2017.
If grapevine doing the rounds is to be believed, Superstar Rajinikanth's most-anticipated film Kabali is buzzed to be inspired from Hollywood blockbuster Taken. Although there's no official clarification on this, speculations are rife that the film has several resemblances to Taken.
Billed to be story of an ex-Secret Service agent (played by Neeson) whose teenage daughter is abducted by human traffickers while on a trip to Paris, the protagonist in Taken, with no clue on his daughter's whereabouts, travels all the way to Paris to find and save her. The action thriller was huge hit and even hailed as a turning point in Neeson's career which transformed him into an action star. The film had a sequel Taken 2 and subsequently Taken 3.
Film Nagar is abuzz that Rajini's Kabali is made on similar lines. It needs to be seen how the makers of Kabali react to these rumours. Meanwhile, the film's release has been pushed to the last week of June.
Did you ever see beautiful Kajal Aggarwal kissing on screen? She has done her first ever on-screen kiss scene for actor-director Deepak Tijori's Do Lafzon Ki Kahani.
It transpires that Kajal did not know that the story involved a kissing scene. So she was caught completely unawares when costar Randeep Hooda simply grabbed her and planted a passionate kiss during a shoot in Malaysia. Kajal was both shocked and shaken, but managed to maintain her poise. She did not utter a word and just withdrew from scene. The director and Randeep understood her predicament and went to her to cool her off.
Later, a highly professional Kajal wanted the scene to be cut and suggested that the scene be reshot. Thanks to her professionalism, we will all get to see Kajal's first ever on-screen lip-lock. -
Young hero Nithin has decent market value in Telugu states and buzz is positive on his upcoming film A.Aa.. (Anasuya Ramalingam Vs Anand Vihari) since it is helmed by minimum guaranteed director Trivikram Srinivas.
Top actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu has paired opposite Nithin for the first time and this factor has created curiosity among movie buffs. Moreover, the film's teasers, theatrical trailer and songs got tremendous response.
Irrespective of all these positive factors, Nithin has postponed his film to June 1st as he doesn't want to clash with Mahesh Babu's upcoming film Brahmotsavam. But, other young hero Sundeep Kishan is daring against Mahesh Babu.
Sundeep's latest flick Okka Ammayi Thappa co-starring Nithya Menon and directed by Rajasimha Tadinada is releasing in May last week, just a week after the release of Brahmotsavam. This is indeed daring move by Sundeep Kishan clashing with Mahesh Babu's film, when others are avoiding the box office fight.
Sundeep Kishan who is botching to score a hit is in desperate need of a success. Nonetheless, this young hero is releasing his film at wrong time. Some say that, they may change their decision over release date, if Brahmotsavam gets positive response after its release. -

Superstar Mahesh Babu's Brahmotsavam promotions are happening robustly. Heroines Samantha, Kajal and Pranitha are endorsing the film vigorously. Mahesh Babu is also taking part in the promotional events. Since the film is releasing in three days (May 20th), the production unit is making all efforts to hype the buzz.
Brahmotsavam business has been closed in most of the areas and the movie has done exceptional business everywhere. Latest we hear is Karnataka rights were also sold for fancy price. Brunda & Co have acquired the rights by shelling out Rs 6.75 Cr. This is record price for Mahesh Babu in the state.
In recent times, Telugu cinema range has been upsurge in neighborhood states and overseas. So, distributors are spending huge amounts to obtain rights of star hero films for their zones.
Brahmotsavam will have special shows in few theaters in Bangalore. As per trade reports, demand for these tickets is high. Let's see whether the movie reaches the sky high expectations or not! -
It was all glittering and colorful when we watch the teasers and trailers of Mahesh babu's Brahmotsavam. The makers and designers were determined to make it so and they also wanted to make Mahesh look like a smart and simple young man from Vijayawada. For that, they had to spend a bomb and looks like they accomplished it.
When the director and producer are ready to spend huge on Mahesh Babu's look, the designer brought in as many as 100 costumes for him and he appeared in all of them for Brahmotsavam. This number of costumes for Mahesh is almost four times to that of any star hero costumes used in any other film. The stylist Akshay himself revealed the care taken in changing wardrobe and rumors say that they spent a crore rupees for that alone.
It is obvious that Srikanth Addala must have etched Brahmotsavam as beautiful as he thought in his mind, when he looked so much into wardrobe changes. The release is due in two days and don't try to count Mahesh's costumes, but enjoy the movie!
The fall in prices, sales and slowdown of demand seems to be heading for the burst of real estate bubble in the successor state of Andhra Pradesh. Especially in the proximity of the state's new capital Amaravati, the situation is more worse in the surrounding villages. The land business in places like Kanchikacherla, Paritala is lull lately.
Two years ago, after the bifurcation of the united state, the prices have shot up drastically and reached its pinnacle. The land, which used to cost Rs 10 Lakh per acre before division, has touched Rs 1 Crore to Rs 1.5 Crore per acre after the state bifurcation. Lands aside Hyderabad-Vijayawada 65 No. National Highway have even pegged at Rs 2 Crore per acre.
But the situation today is quite opposite. With no takers and investors backing out, there is a steep decrease in the prices. Several property firms which shown interest initially opted out and the land value is now cut to less than Rs 50 Lakh per acre. While few land owners, farmers are still hopeful of the real 'boom' once again, farmers who're in dire need of money and are caught in catch-22 situation whether to sell the lands at the present price or to wait.
Also the CRDA approvals for layouts within 500 mts distance of villages is turning out to be major spoilsport. With government not giving CRDA approvals for the layouts above 500 mts distance from villages, several layouts and small-time real estate businesses are seeing dull phase. Apparently, people are not showing much interest in the layouts in and around the area at the moment. With this, real estate dealers have stopped laying new layouts. It's expected that the situation might improve once the outer ring road works for the new capital and Guntur Vaikuntapuram-Damulur reservoir works would begin. -

Noted comedian LB Sriram announced that he'd be foraying into the making of short films. Calling it as "Heart Films", Sriram said he'd prefer "Human Values" over "Technical Values" and want to produce short films consistently rather than making one or two rich short films or making umpteen short films cashing in on sex or adult content.
60-plus-aged Sriram said in a video promo, "I might be over 60 plus. But am still young at heart. Want to try something new. There might be a wide gap between old generation and the new generation. I believe old people and young people should walk hand-in-hand. One should adapt to new changes and not forget carrying the age-old traditions, people should move on."
After having acted for plays for 16-long-years, Sriram extensively worked in films for over 28 years. Though he started his career as a serious actor, he shot to fame as a comedian. Calling it as his second 'w'innings, Sriram said his maiden short film would be out on May 30th on the eve of his birthday. -
