In a recent turn of events Akhil Akkineni got a rude shock that too out of the blue. So in a rude shock to Akhil Akkineni & his father Nagarjuna, the teaser of Hello was removed from Annapurna Studios Youtube channel. Youtube India has deactivated the teaser that too after it got millions of views & likes. The reason being cited is that the team has used music from the stock files that is easily available on the internet for a price. Although the movie has music by Anup Rubens, the team used the music from the stock files instead of the original composition. Hence, Youtube removed the teaser. Now Annapurna Studios has to pay the money to the original music firm for licensing or upload new file with original background score composed by Anup Rubens. This is huge jolt to this team. Somehow, this film of Akhil Akkineni has been facing one problem or the other right from the beginning.

Nara Rohith’s Biggest Folly

Of late Nara Rohith has committed the biggest folly of his life & career. Nara Rohith’s attempt to do one film in the mass genre has backfired badly. Irrespective of not delivering big hits, Nara Rohith won good will and is seen as an actor who has been backing new kind of stories. In the past Nara Rohith has given content rich movies like Rowdy Fellow, Pratinidhi, Appatlo Okadundevadu, Jyo Achyuthananda, etc. Thanks to them, he had good following amongst the niche audiences. He was not satisfied with this and tried to reach out to the larger audiences and tried doing a pucca mass entertainer. Although his intention was right, his choice of subject which was beaten to death was totally wrong. Which is why, his latest release Balakrishnudu tanked miserably at the Box – Office turnstiles. The film is amongst the major duds this year. Trade experts and filmmakers opine that Nara Rohith should take a break and think afresh to get a big hit. He should do films that are content rich which can be watched by larger audiences too. If he continues to select Balakrishnudu kind of subjects, he will soon fall in the category of Manchu Manoj or Gopichand. It is wake up time Boss!.

Sai Dharam Tej’s Desperate Attempt

Soon after he thought he had arrived as a star, his movies started flopping. The nephew of megastar Chiranjeevi is back to prove his mettle again. Although Jawaan was plagued with many rumors, the recent theatrical trailer offset all the bad talk. The trailer has generated good interest. Thanks to it, he increased promotions and started saying yes to any programme idea as he now needs a hit by hook or by crook. Sai Dharam Teja is also saying that he is single and that he doesn’t have any romantic links with any heroine to create a good boy image.

Kajal Agarwal Bounces Back

Kajal Agarwal recently made a move to bounce back. Film industry is one place where all the actors have a shelf life. Of course, after those years, one could still continue doing films, but the best is long over. So is the case with heroes. In case of top heroes, their shelf life extends between seven to twelve years. Even if they continue doing films after that, the best is already over. And just like the heroes, the heroines too have a shelf life, albeit a shorter one. But one girl who has defied this rule is Kajal Aggarwal. Last year, everyone had predicted the end of her career. Following the release of Sardar Gabbar Singh & Brahmotsavam and her films not working in Tamil & Hindi too, it was thought that she would bid good bye to the film industry. But she said “yes” to Khaidi No 1 opposite Chiranjeevi and lo behold, her career was back on track. And this year also, saw the release of Nene Raju Nene Mantri & Mersal. Also, she is flexible about her remuneration too, depending on the project. So, she is a hit with both the senior & the junior stars. Goes without saying, it is one bounce back that is noteworthy.

Nayanthara Fans Crosses One Million Mark

Of late the Nayanthara fan base has already crossed the 1 million mark on Twitter. In fact the star power of Lady Superstar Nayanthara is huge and she is the undisputed queen of hearts. Her recent Aramm was her most defining career choice till date. Her three P’s namely perfection, poise & popularity have grown through the years. While many well – known actors are struggling to touch the one million followers on Twitter, a fan page of the reticent and elusive Nayanthara who is officially not on any social media platforms has achieved the magical mark in a royal style. What’s more special about this important milestone is that the fan pages of Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Ajith & Vijay are yet to reach the one million mark but Nayanthara fans stay united under the Twitter handle @NayantharaU. Another major reason for the fan page to touch the one million mark is that many celebrities believe that @NayantharaU is the official Twitter handle of the actress. If you look at the tweets of some of the actors & celebrities, they always tag her in this handle and are unaware of the fact that Nayanthara is not on Twitter & her loyal fans handle it. Monikers like Lady Superstar & highest paid actors are well – earned for this ethereal actress.
