      From Child Artist to Timeless Beauty #HBD Tabu: Tabu Turns 54 - Her Untold Love Stories and Career Revelations
      Tabu, a name that resonates deeply with Telugu cinema enthusiasts, has carved a remarkable journey in Indian cinema. Though currently making waves in Bollywood, she once dominated the Telugu film industry with blockbusters like 'Coolie No. 1', 'Ninne Pelladata', 'Aavida Maa Aavide', 'Prema Desam', and 'Chennakesava Reddy'. As she celebrates her 54th birthday, let's delve into the fascinating life of this evergreen actress. Early Life and Career Beginnings Born as Tabassum Fatima Hashmi in 1971, Tabu's early years were spent in Hyderabad. Raised by a single mother following her parents' separation when she was just three, Tabu showed early promise in acting. She made her debut at age ten in the 1982 Hindi film 'Bazaar', marking the beginning of an illustrious career. Telugu Cinema Success Story In Telugu cinema, Tabu's star power shone brightly alongside leading actors like Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna, Venkatesh, and Nagarjuna. Her chemistry with Nagarjuna proved particularly successful, leading to memorable hits including 'Ninne Pelladata', 'Sisindri', and 'Aavida Maa Aavide'. Interesting Personal Life Known by over a hundred nicknames including Tabs, Tubs, Tabby, and Toblerone, Tabu's personal life has been as colorful as her career. Her eight-year wait for the release of 'Prem', starring alongside Sanjay Kapoor, became a talking point in the industry. The film, which began shooting in 1987, finally released in 1995. Romance and Relationships Tabu's romantic life has been subject to much speculation over the years. She openly admitted to a brief romance with Sanjay Kapoor during 'Prem's filming. Her alleged decade-long relationship with Nagarjuna sparked considerable interest, though both maintained they were just good friends. She was also linked to producer Sajid Nadiadwala following the death of his wife, Divya Bharti. Her 25-year friendship with Ajay Devgn has been particularly noteworthy, with rumors suggesting it played a role in her choosing to remain unmarried. During the promotions of 'Bhola', Ajay revealed their friendship dates back to their teenage years, marked by comfortable camaraderie and playful teasing. Lesser-Known Facts Tabu was initially implicated in Salman Khan's blackbuck hunting case during the shooting of 'Hum Saath Saath Hain' (1998) but was later cleared of all charges.Unlike many actresses, Tabu candidly admitted she cannot cry real tears on screen and relies on glycerin for emotional scenes. Current Status At 54, Tabu continues to defy age with her timeless beauty and versatile acting skills. She has successfully adapted to changing times, venturing into web series while maintaining her presence in films. Her appearance belies her age, as she continues to portray roles typically written for actresses in their 30s.

      Rajinikanth Praises Rana Daggubati’s Intense Performance in 'Vettaiyan'!
      After matching Prabhas's performance in 'Baahubali', Daggubati Rana has garnered Pan-India popularity. As the grandson of legendary producer Daggubati Ramanaidu, Rana has carved a unique identity for himself in the industry, earning acclaim in Hindi films and supporting Telugu cinema in Bollywood. Meanwhile, Rajinikanth's latest film 'Vettaiyan' features Rana in a pivotal role, with a grand release planned for October 10. At the recent movie audio launch, Rajinikanth made intriguing comments about Rana. 'Rana was terrifying' In the film 'Vettaiyan', directed by 'Jai Bhim' fame TJ Gnanavel, Rajinikanth spoke at the audio function. He extensively praised Rana, highlighting his achievements and recalling knowing him since he was a child through his grandfather. Rajinikanth noted that Rana used to visit the sets even as a boy, always jovial, but now he appears serious in his acting roles, which genuinely startled him. This video of Rajinikanth’s comments has gone viral online, with netizens admiring a superstar like Rajinikanth praising Rana. https://twitter.com/i/status/1843720706057724332 Rajinikanth Alters the Story Rajinikanth recently shared insights about the story of 'Vettaiyan'. He suggested changes to the original story brought by TJ Gnanavel, after his daughter Soundarya urged him to listen to it. Impressed, he requested the addition of commercial elements, which Gnanavel accepted, although he mentioned that it couldn't be turned into a film by directors like Nelson Dilipkumar or Lokesh Kanagaraj. Rajinikanth insisted on those changes, otherwise, he would have approached other directors. Ten days later, Gnanavel returned with the revised script, which surprised Rajinikanth. He also insisted that Anirudh should be the sole music director for the film. Accusations Against Rajinikanth by a Tamil Director Kollywood star director KS Ravikumar has made serious accusations against superstar Rajinikanth, stirring significant controversy. Their previous collaboration on 'Lingaa' didn't perform well, leading to negative publicity. In a recent YouTube interview, the director discussed the film's failure, attributing it to Rajinikanth's interference in editing. He claimed that Rajinikanth didn't allow enough time for computer graphics and completely altered the second half, removing a song with Anushka and a twist in the climax, and adding an artificial balloon jumping scene, contributing to the film’s disarray. These comments have now gone viral on social media. Rajinikanth’s Future Projects Exciting news has surfaced regarding Rajinikanth's future projects. There's strong buzz about him working with star director Mani Ratnam, reuniting after 33 years since their successful 1991 film 'Thalapathi'. Discussions between Rajinikanth and Mani Ratnam have reportedly taken place. If all goes as planned, an official announcement might be made on Rajinikanth's birthday in December, according to Kollywood sources. On another front, Rajinikanth will be seen in 'Coolie', directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, followed by 'Jailer 2' under the direction of Nelson Dilip Kumar.

      Rajinikanth vs KS Ravi Kumar: Sensational Allegations by Tamil Director. What Did He Say?
      Rajinikanth vs KS Ravi Kumar: Sensational Allegations by Tamil Director. What Did He Say?
      Tamil superstar Rajinikanth is well-known for his widespread fan following across India. He is loved by fans beyond the film industry itself, with a strong fan base in Tollywood. Notably, prominent director K.S. Ravi Kumar has made sensational allegations against Rajinikanth. He expressed his dissatisfaction, blaming Rajinikanth for the flop of his movie. These comments have become a hot topic in Kollywood and nationwide. Let's look into the details. 'Rajinikanth created chaos' The allegations made by Kollywood star director K.S. Ravi Kumar against superstar Rajinikanth are currently causing a significant stir. Their previous collaboration on the movie 'Lingaa' did not meet expectations. Recently, in an interview given to a YouTube channel, the director spoke about the failure of the movie. "Superstar Rajinikanth interfered with the editing of Lingaa. He didn’t give me any time to work on the computer graphics. He completely changed the second half of the movie. A song with Anushka and a twist in the climax were removed. He even added an artificial balloon jumping scene himself. Overall, Rajinikanth messed up the entire movie," Ravi Kumar made these critical comments. These remarks have gone viral on social media. Working on Three Films! Director K.S. Ravi Kumar is well-regarded in Kollywood and has had a good relationship with Rajinikanth. They had worked together before 'Lingaa' on blockbusters like 'Muthu' and 'Narasimha'. Then came 'Lingaa' in 2014. Featuring dual roles by Rajinikanth and starring Sonakshi Sinha and Anushka as the heroines, this message-oriented movie came with high expectations but did not perform as expected. However, it did fairly well in terms of collections. Made on a budget of Rs. 100 crores, the film collected around Rs. 120-130 crores at the box office. After 33 Years, With Mani Ratnam...! Exciting news has emerged about Rajinikanth’s future project. There is strong buzz that he will be working with star director Mani Ratnam. It’s been 33 years since their last collaboration, and rumors are circulating that they will be working together again. Their last joint venture was the highly successful 'Thalapathi' in 1991. Since then, they haven’t made a movie together. Discussions between Rajinikanth and Mani Ratnam have reportedly taken place for a new project. If all goes as planned, an official announcement may come by December, around Rajinikanth's birthday, according to Kollywood circles. Rajinikanth Recovers from Illness! Superstar Rajinikanth recently recovered from an illness. He was admitted to a prominent hospital in Chennai on September 30th after doctors discovered swelling in the main artery coming from his heart. He underwent a transcatheter procedure and had a stent placed. With his health stabilized, he was discharged on the night of October 3rd. Doctors have advised him to rest for a few weeks. Currently, he is resting at home with his family, and his fans are eagerly hoping he will return to shooting soon. Rajinikanth's Film in the Dasara Competition Rajinikanth's latest film 'Vettaiyan' is set to release this week on a pan-India scale. Directed by T.J. Gnanavel, known for the social message movie 'Jai Bhim', this film is produced by Lyca Productions. It stars Amitabh, Fahadh Faasil, Rana, Manju Warrier, Ritika Singh, and Dushara Vijayan in key roles. Anirudh provided the music. Scheduled for a Dasara release on October 10th, the movie is highly anticipated following the blockbuster 'Jailer', which also featured Rajinikanth. Star Cast in 'Coolie'! Rajinikanth currently has another big project on his hands with 'Coolie'. As his 171st film, 'Coolie' is shaping up under the direction of Lokesh Kanagaraj, following a series of hits like 'Master', 'Vikram', and 'Leo'. Naturally, expectations are high for 'Coolie'. The movie, set against a backdrop of gold smuggling, is being crafted by Lokesh Kanagaraj. In 'Coolie Number 1421', Rajinikanth will appear in a prominent role. Tollywood veteran actor Nagarjuna is playing a special character named Simon, who is crucial to the plot. Additionally, Kannada star hero Upendra is also part of the cast. Other popular actors like Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan, and Sathyaraj are also participating in this significant project.
