      I was in the same house with her for 3 years says Raj Tarun in response to affair allegations.
      I was in the same house with her for 3 years says Raj Tarun in response to affair allegations.
      Raj Tarun is a popular young actor in Tollywood. He initially rose to fame with his debut film 'Uyyala Jampala' and gained a considerable fan base with movies like 'Cinema Choopista Mava' and 'Kumari 21F'. However, his career later suffered due to a series of poor script choices, resulting in several flops. Recently, Raj Tarun's girlfriend leveled serious accusations against him, alleging deceit and officially filing a police complaint. In response, Raj Tarun issued a strong rebuttal, making this issue a hot topic in Tollywood. Affair with Actress A young woman named Lavanya filed a complaint against actor Raj Tarun at the Narsingi Police Station in Hyderabad, accusing him of infidelity. She claimed that since starting their relationship in 2012, Raj Tarun had grown close to another actress during the filming of 'Thiragabadara Saami'. According to Lavanya, their relationship persisted beyond that period, and Raj Tarun verbally abused her when she confronted him. She also mentioned that she was wrongfully detained for 43 days in a drug case that did not involve her. The Narsingi police have confirmed receipt of her complaint and are investigating. Rumors are circulating that the actress Raj Tarun allegedly became involved with Malvika Malhotra, who was the lead actress in 'Thiragabadara Saami'. https://twitter.com/galli2delhi/status/1809123625074614310 It's not true: Raj Tarun Actor Raj Tarun addressed the accusations made by his ex-girlfriend Lavanya in an interview with a media channel. He explained, "I met her while I was involved in making short films. She was kind and offered me help when I first moved to Hyderabad. We were indeed in a relationship from 2014 to 2017, but after that, we ended our relationship. I had issues with her circle of friends and her drug use. She threatened to take her story to the media if I broke up with her, so I continued to support her to protect my reputation. Now, she is blaming me for her involvement in a drug case," he emphatically clarified. https://twitter.com/BunnyJashu3/status/1769400224081219797 She was with another guy in my own house' Raj Tarun leveled serious allegations against his ex-girlfriend Lavanya, claiming that during their relationship, she was involved with another man. "She maintained a relationship with another guy who she sued him for assaulting her daily. After I moved out, she lived with him in my house for some time. She even blackmailed her own father. We were never married, and it's widely known in the industry that I have no plans to marry. She is aware of this as well. Despite living in Hyderabad while she lives in Mumbai, she accuses me of cohabiting with an actress from Mumbai. How is that possible? She's fabricating these stories because she fears I will evict her from the house," Raj Tarun stated.

      Energetic Star Ram Pothineni and Kavya Thapar starred in 'Double iSmart', which was released globally amidst high expectations. Following the flop of 'Liger' by Puri Jagannadh and the failure of 'Skanda' by Ram Pothineni, this film has generated significant buzz among audiences and the industry alike. Did the film live up to expectations? Did the Ram-Puri combo hit the mark again? Let’s delve into this review. What’s the Story? Mafia boss Big Bull (Sanjay Dutt) wants to live forever. In this quest, doctors suggest the possibility of memory transfer. Attempts to transfer Big Bull’s memory to various individuals fail. During these attempts, Big Bull learns about iSmart Shankar. They decide to transfer Big Bull’s memory to Shankar. Was the memory successfully transferred to Shankar’s brain? What does iSmart Shankar do next? Why do Big Bull and iSmart Shankar clash again? What is the relationship between Kavya Thapar and Shankar? What significance does Boka's (Ali) character have in the film? How's the Movie? The first half of the movie includes love and comedy tracks, laden with Telangana slang and mass festivities. Puri Jagannadh’s trademark punch dialogues and his style of comedy scenes are captivating. From the interval action sequence onwards, twists upon twists are revealed. Scenes featuring Ram and Sanjay Dutt are particularly striking. The climax twist takes the movie to the next level. Dialogues are a special attraction, with Ram's Telangana slang proverbs hitting the mark. Romantic scenes between Ram and Kavya Thapar, as well as the mind games between Ram and Sanjay Dutt, and the mother sentiment, are all interesting. Ram’s energetic performance is engaging. Ali’s comedy scenes are well-done. How Did They Perform? Ram Pothineni excels as iSmart Shankar. His acting in this film is triple times more mass-oriented than in the previous iSmart Shankar movie. It's evident from this film that he has put in an extraordinary effort. Sanjay Dutt as Big Bull delivers a superb performance, doing complete justice to his role. Kavya Thapar, as the heroine Jannat, fits perfectly into her role. Shaaji Shinde as a CBI officer, Bunny Jayashankar, Ram's mother played by Jhansi, Boka played by Ali, and Ram’s friend played by Getup Srinu all perform commendably within the scope of their roles. How's the Direction? After the flop of Liger, it is evident that Puri Jagannadh has written this film with great care. This film marks a comeback for Puri, who has effectively brought his envisioned story to life. The screenplay is also good. Puri Jagannadh has filled the film with elements that attract the youth. The scenes from the pre-climax to the climax elevate the movie to another level. Once again, Puri introduces the old charm with his trademark punch dialogues. The mother sentiment is good but could have been elevated further. Overall, Puri succeeded in making a film that appeals to the youth. Technically On a technical level, the film is of high quality. Every frame appears rich. Mani Sharma’s music is satisfactory. Cinematography by Gian K. Gian and Shyam K. Naidu is commendable. Overall, this film can be termed a mass feast. Plus Points - Ram Pothineni’s acting - Puri’s direction - Scenes between Sanjay Dutt and Ram Minus Points - Lengthy comedy track by Ali - Some of the songs Verdict: Overall, Double iSmart Shankar is a youthful entertainer packed with mass elements.

      Sai Pallavi Opens Up About the Emotional Toll of Filming 'Shyam Singha Roy': I Cried Out to My Sister for Help
      Sai Pallavi, recognized as one of the leading actresses in Tollywood, made her cinematic debut with the Malayalam film 'Premam'. She won the hearts of Telugu audiences with 'Fidaa'. Her captivating acting skills and mesmerizing dance performances have left an indelible mark on the Telugu film industry. Recently, her Tamil film 'Amaran' achieved pan-Indian release and was a huge hit. In an interview with a channel about Amaran's success, Sai Pallavi made interesting remarks about her challenging experiences physically and mentally during the shooting of 'Shyam Singha Roy' with Nani. Why? Directed by Periyasamy and starring Sivakarthikeyan, 'Amaran' revolves around the life of a martyred army soldier and was a massive box office success, grossing over Rs. 180 crores. In this context, Sai Pallavi discussed her latest film and mentioned the difficulties she faced during the filming of 'Shyam Singha Roy'. She revealed that night shoots were especially challenging for her, stating that the majority of her scenes in 'Shyam Singha Roy' were filmed at night, which meant she had to stay awake until dawn. This continued for about 30 days, making her situation almost unbearable. "I Cried Out to My Sister" While shooting 'Shyam Singha Roy' at night, Sai Pallavi was also attending another movie set during the day, which left her mentally exhausted. One night, her sister Pooja Kannan visited, and Sai Pallavi broke down while talking to her, expressing her inability to stop her tears and her desire for a day off. Moved by her plight, her sister went directly to the producer of 'Shyam Singha Roy', Venkat Boyanapalli, and pleaded for a day off, saying, "My sister is crying, please give her at least one day off." The producer responded immediately, "Take ten days off. Do what you need to, and when you feel everything is fine, come back to the shooting." Sai Pallavi Stuns as a Devadasi In 'Shyam Singha Roy', directed by Rahul Sankrityan and starring Nani, the film was a huge success at the box office. It featured themes of reincarnation, with Nani playing dual roles as Vasu and Shyam Singha Roy, a character from the 1970s. Sai Pallavi excelled in the role of Devadasi Maitreyi, captivating the audience with her emotional performance and unparalleled dance skills, elevating her status as an actress. Her portrayal of the life of Devadasis was lauded as beyond praise. After the release of 'Shyam Singha Roy', the audience equally praised Sai Pallavi's performance alongside Nani. Sai Pallavi's Projects Currently, Sai Pallavi is working with director Chandoo Mondeti on the film 'Thandel', co-starring Naga Chaitanya. Following the blockbuster 'Love Story', expectations are high for their next collaboration, 'Thandel', set to release on February 7 next year. Additionally, she is involved in a high-profile Bollywood project directed by Nitesh Tiwari titled 'Ramayana', where she plays Sita. Recently leaked photos of her as Sita have captivated a wide audience. Ranbir Kapoor plays Rama and Yash plays Ravana. The movie is set to be released in two parts, with the first part scheduled to premiere next Diwali.

      Brinda Web Series Review: Trisha Takes in Gripping Crime Thriller on SonyLIV
      Brinda Web Series Review: Trisha Takes in Gripping Crime Thriller on SonyLIV
      Cast: Trisha, Indrajith Sukumaran, Jayaprakash, Amani, Ravindra Vijay, Anand Sami, Rakendu Mouli, and others Written and Directed by: Surya Manoj Vangal Cinematography: Dinesh K. Babu Music: Shakti Kanth Karthik Editor: Anwar Ali Producer: Kolla Ashish Release Date: August 2, 2024 Streaming Platform: SonyLIV Star heroine Trisha, who has excelled in films, has embarked on a new journey in the OTT space with her debut web series, "Brinda." Directed by Surya Manoj Vangal, this crime thriller sees Trisha in the role of a police officer. The series also features Indrajith Sukumaran, Jayaprakash, Amani, Ravindra Vijay, Anand Sami, and Rakendu Mouli in significant roles. "Brinda" began streaming on SonyLIV from August 2. How does this web series fare? Does it capture the OTT audience? Let’s explore in this review. Plot Brinda (Trisha) is a newly appointed SI at a police station. Being a woman, she initially receives little respect from her colleagues. One day, a corpse is discovered in a local pond. The post-mortem reveals that the victim was scalped and stabbed 16 times in the chest. Despite her superior’s orders to close the case, Brinda starts her investigation and uncovers a shocking truth. She discovers a pattern of 16 brutal murders. Consequently, senior police officials set up a special investigation team and include Brinda as a member. Who is the serial killer? Why are the murders being committed? How does Brinda’s team apprehend him? What is the connection of these murders to superstitions? Performances As police officer Brinda, Trisha captivates with her performance, portraying a dignified woman with conviction. She excels in action sequences. On the other hand, Anand Sami impresses as the villain, blending innocence with cruelty in his performance, becoming a highlight of the series. Indrajith and Ravindra Vijay perform well within their roles. The rest of the cast also manage to deliver decent performances. Direction On the narrative front, director Surya Manoj Vangal crafts this series with a conventional crime thriller theme but manages to engage the audience right from the beginning with a well-paced screenplay. The way the story intertwines incidents from the past and present is commendable. The investigation led by Brinda’s team unfolds intriguingly as they uncover each clue. However, the series seems elongated under the guise of detailed investigation, and some scenes of evidence collection stretch beyond logical reasoning. The portrayal of other police officers as unable to spot even minor clues does not quite impress. The subplot involving Trisha’s sister appears irrelevant to the main story. While the series spans eight episodes, some seem overly drawn out. Overall, the director successfully maintains engagement from start to finish. Technically... Technically, all departments have performed well. The background score, in particular, adds a significant plus to the film. The cinematography is also commendable. The editor could have tightened the work to benefit the pace. The production values are high. Plus Points - Plot and Narration - Trisha’s Acting - Investigation Scenes Minus Points - Length - Dragged Scenes Telugu.yousay.tv Rating: 3/5

      Iphone 16 Series: Introducing 5 Dynamic New Features Including Satellite Calling!
      Iphone 16 Series: Introducing 5 Dynamic New Features Including Satellite Calling!
      Mobile enthusiasts have eagerly awaited the launch of the Apple iPhone 16 series. The models were unveiled during the launch event on Monday night, September 9th. Along with the latest iPhones, Apple also released other products. According to earlier reports, the new iPhones have been designed with cutting-edge specifications. It is understood that all devices in the iPhone 16 series will incorporate the new Apple Intelligence system along with the A18 Bionic chip. Let’s now explore the features of the iPhone 16 series that are making waves on social media. Action Button The Action Button, introduced in the iPhone 15 series, continues in iPhone 16. Up to iPhone 14, devices had a mute or vibrate button above the volume rocker on the side. This was replaced with the Action Button in the iPhone 15 Pro models. This button allows you to activate the camera, turn on the flashlight, and switch focus modes, among other functions. You can also switch between ring and vibrate modes using this button. Special functions can be assigned to this button as well. Four Models The iPhone 16 series will be available in four models: iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. These four models will come in storage variants of 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB. New Color Options: Gold After a long hiatus, Apple has reintroduced the gold color in iPhone 16 models. This time, they are also offering blue, green, black, and gold color options. Changed Design The design of the iPhone 16 will be similar to that of the iPhone 15 and 14, but leaks suggest some changes. It's said that the iPhone 16 will feature a vertical camera setup, resembling the iPhone 12 but with larger camera sensors. For those considering an upgrade, now might be a good time. Bigger Display Changes in the display of the iPhone 16 are also anticipated. Specifically, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is expected to feature a 6.9-inch OLED display, an increase from the 6.5-inch OLED display in the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Satellite Calling All Apple 16 Pro models will allow calls and messages to all countries without a SIM card, thanks to upgraded satellite connectivity, running on iOS 18. Apple Intelligence Another new feature in the iPhone 16 is Apple Intelligence, powered by the new A18 chip. This feature will be enabled in the iPhone 16 Plus, Pro, and Pro Max models alongside the base models. Apple Intelligence is expected to include features similar to ChatGPT. Longer Battery Life Battery capacities have been increased in the iPhone 16 models. The iPhone 16 Plus now has a 4006mAh battery, the iPhone 16 Pro has a 3367mAh battery, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max has a 4676mAh battery, which will allow the Pro Max variant to have a battery life of up to 30 hours. Titanium Design A standout feature in the iPhone series is the titanium design. The iPhone 16 series models have been introduced with a titanium design, making the phone significantly lighter and giving it a sleek, stylish appearance. Powerful Processor While the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models were equipped with the A16 and A17 Bionic processors, all models in the iPhone 16 series will be upgraded to the A18 chip. Compared to the base models of the iPhone 15, the iPhone 16 base models are expected to be up to 7 times faster. No Camera Upgrade Like the iPhone 15 models, the iPhone 16 series will also feature a 48MP f/1.6 back camera and a 12MP f/2.2 front camera setup. Although there are no major changes in the camera, the megapixel count has been increased, which should improve photo quality in low-light conditions. Additional features like macro photography and special video capture capabilities are also expected. Frosted Glass Back Panel Previously limited to the Pro models, the frosted glass back panel has now been extended to the base models, iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. This panel provides protection against fingerprints and other marks and lends a premium look to the phone. Higher Refresh Rate Apple has upgraded the display refresh rate from 60Hz to 120Hz, a welcome improvement that should make the iPhone 16 display appear even more premium and actionable. Faster MagSafe Wireless Charging Compared to previous models, MagSafe wireless charging in the iPhone 16 is expected to be faster. While the iPhone 15 offered an improved wireless charging experience with Qi2-based charging, it was somewhat behind compared to Android phones. However, reports suggest that the charging speed in the iPhone 16 has been increased. Previously, it took nearly two hours to fully charge an iPhone, but this time is expected to be significantly reduced. Prices? Apple has set the prices for the iPhone 16 series during the launch event. The iPhone 16 (128 GB) is priced at $799 (approximately INR 67,000), the iPhone 16 Plus (128 GB) at $899 (approximately INR 75,400), the iPhone 16 Pro (256GB) at $1099 (approximately INR 92,261), and the iPhone 16 Pro Max (256 GB) at $1199 (approximately INR 1,00,656). Bookings for the iPhone 16 will begin in three days, and purchases can be made directly through the Apple website or offline stores.

      Netflix Shocker: ‘Thangalaan’ OTT Deal in Trouble After Box Office Struggles!
      Netflix Shocker: ‘Thangalaan’ OTT Deal in Trouble After Box Office Struggles!
      Tamil actor Vikram, who became popular in Telugu for his distinct roles in films like 'Aparichitudu' and 'I', has captivated everyone with his performance as a primitive man in the recently released film 'Thangalaan'. Vikram's transformation for his role in this movie has garnered widespread acclaim. Released on August 15, the film received mixed reviews. However, even before its release, Netflix secured the OTT rights for a hefty price. This has led cine lovers, who have been eagerly anticipating when the movie will arrive on OTT, to receive a shock from the prominent OTT company, Netflix. Let's delve into the details. Netflix Backs Down! The latest film starring Chiyaan Vikram, 'Thangalaan', a periodic action drama, was presented by Pa Ranjith. It was produced by K.E. Gnanavel Raja under the Studio Green Films banner in association with Neelam Productions. Featuring Parvathy Thiruvothu and Malavika Mohanan as the heroines, the movie was released in theaters in Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada languages on August 15 and managed to stir a mixed response. The movie did not achieve the expected success, leading Netflix to reconsider their OTT deal for 'Thangalaan'. Reportedly, Netflix is demanding to lower the previously agreed sum for the OTT rights. Release on Another OTT? According to reports, the producers of 'Thangalaan' are not willing to comply with Netflix's demand to reduce the price for the OTT rights. With the producers rejecting this offer, there is talk in Kollywood circles that Netflix has canceled the OTT deal. As Netflix remains firm, the producers are intensifying efforts to offer 'Thangalaan' to another OTT platform. However, this process may take more time to complete. Until then, it seems unlikely that 'Thangalaan' will appear on any OTT platform soon, leaving cine lovers who are eagerly waiting a bit shocked. Collections Nil! The prominent Tamil producer K.E. Gnanavel Raja produced 'Thangalaan' with a budget of nearly ₹100 crores. Despite only average reviews, it was expected that the film would easily garner over ₹150 crores. However, unexpectedly, the film only grossed ₹105 crores and managed a net collection of just ₹70 crores. Regardless of the film's outcome, Vikram's performance was universally praised. His acting in 'Thangalaan' has been hailed as another milestone in his career, making everyone hopeful to watch the movie on OTT, only to be left disappointed by Netflix. What's the Story? Set in the 1850s during British rule in India, the story unfolds in a village called Veppur. Thangalaan (Vikram) lives there with his family. Under unforeseen circumstances, Thangalaan is forced to join an English lord named Clement in a quest for gold. This journey brings them face-to-face with bizarre experiences. Thangalaan dreams that a sorceress from the serpent tribe, Arati (Malavika Mohanan), is protecting the gold with her supernatural powers. But is she really guarding the gold? What challenges do Thangalaan and his team face because of her? What does Thangalaan learn through this journey? Did they finally discover the gold or not? That forms the crux of the story.

The movie brought many fond memories to Nayanthara, including significant acclaim as an actress and the love of her life. She wanted to highlight this film in her documentary Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale. For this, she sought Dhanush’s permission to use content related to the film. However, after two years of no response, Dhanush sent legal notices over the use of three seconds of footage from Naanum Rowdy Dhaan in the documentary’s promo. This enraged Nayanthara, prompting her to write an open letter criticizing Dhanush.

Naresh panicked and immediately removed the bullets, explaining that even a slight touch could fire it. It was a close call. Ganesh sir, you must have a bright future, which is why you were saved that day!" Anil added that many such funny incidents occurred during the shoot. https://twitter.com/i/status/1859522147229573619 "That’s When the Industry Thrives" During the press meet, Venkatesh shared his thoughts, explaining that the team began production with the aim of releasing the film during Sankranti.
