Rajamouli's Comments Go Viral While promoting 'RRR', director Rajamouli brought up 'RC17'. He commented, "Sukumar's upcoming film with Ram Charan features an opening sequence that will be a standout. I shouldn't reveal too much, yet I'm confident that the opening scene alone will have audiences leaning forward in their theater seats, completely captivated." A video related to his comments has since gone viral online. "The Opening Scene is Fantastic" Karthikeya, Rajamouli's son, also took to social media to share insights about 'RC 17'. He recounted an instance during the climax filming of 'RRR' where Charan shared his excitement about collaborating with Sukumar on a new project.

      HBD Ram Charan: Did You Know the Restrictions Chiru Placed on Ram Charan During His Childhood?
      HBD Ram Charan: Did You Know the Restrictions Chiru Placed on Ram Charan During His Childhood?
      As the son of Megastar Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan stepped into the industry and carved a unique star status for himself in Tollywood. Making his debut with "Chirutha," Ramcharan went on to score an industry hit with his second film "Magadheera." With "Rangasthalam," he proved his acting prowess, and "RRR" elevated him to a global star status. On the occasion of Charan's birthday, let's delve into some fascinating details about his childhood. Ramcharan was extremely shy in his childhood. He rarely participated in family functions. While Allu Arjun and Allu Sirish danced, he would just watch them and cheer. Today, Ramcharan's dancing skills can be attributed to the talent inherited from Chiru. Interestingly, Charan never took any dance coaching except for acting lessons. It's remarkable how he mastered dancing without formal training. Growing up, Ramcharan wasn't particularly interested in movies, which could partly be due to Chiranjeevi's influence. Chiru made sure that the allure of cinema didn't distract Charan. To ensure Charan focused on his studies, even movie posters were not allowed at home. Chiru granted "cinematic freedom" to his son only after he completed his 10th grade. As for Charan's academic life, he was an average student and never stayed in one school for more than two years. Throughout his childhood to teenage years, Charan frequently changed schools and colleges. In total, he has attended 8 schools and 3 colleges. However, sports, more than studies, captured his interest. He learned horse riding as early as the fourth grade, showcasing his skills in "Magadheera." Chiru was just as strict about bike riding as he was about movies, hence he didn't encourage Charan to pursue bike riding. Charan has a great love for pets and often gifts them to relatives and friends on their birthdays or weddings. Every year, Charan is seen wearing a new spiritual thread, believing it brings peace and discipline into his life. Charan married Upasana, Vice-Chairperson of Apollo Hospitals, in 2012. The couple has a daughter named Klin Kaara. Chiranjeevi's comments on his movies, whether it's about a dance or a fight scene, hold great importance to Charan. After watching "Dhruva," Chiru appreciated Charan for doing justice to his role and character. Watching "Rangasthalam," Charan's mother was moved to tears, making these moments unforgettable for him. To date, Ramcharan has entertained Telugu audiences with 14 diverse films including "Chirutha," "Magadheera," "Orange," "Racha," "Govindudu Andarivadele," "Dhruva," "Rangasthalam," and "RRR." Currently, he is busy with "Game Changer," directed by the renowned director Shankar, which is set to release soon. Charan is also working on a film (#RC16) directed by "Uppena" fame Buchibabu. The film, where he stars opposite Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor, recently had its puja ceremony. Furthermore, Charan has officially announced another project, "RC17," with director Sukumar, following the blockbuster success of "Rangasthalam." This collaboration has set high expectations among fans.

Ram Charan is currently immersed in his role for the film 'Game Changer', sparking rumors of him portraying dual characters that stand apart in their narrative context. One character is designed to resonate with the contemporary youth, while the other harks back to the era of the 1970s-80s, each defined by unique visual styles. Set against a politically charged backdrop, 'Game Changer' weaves an intricate story of love, friendship, betrayal, revenge, and societal themes, with Ram Charan reportedly taking on the role of 'Ram Nandan'.

This rural backdrop movie, 'RC16', will be made at a Pan-India level, featuring Kannada lead actor Shivarajkumar in a crucial role. The movie is set to go on floors this year, with Janhvi Kapoor acting opposite Ram Charan. Busy as a Producer Too! While busy as an actor, Ram Charan is also focusing on film production. Having produced big-budget films like 'Acharya' and 'Khaidi No. 150' with his father Chiranjeevi, Charan has launched a new production house named 'V Mega Pictures' to produce concept-oriented small films. Under this banner, he is producing a patriotic movie titled 'The India House', starring Nikhil as the hero.

      Happy Birthday Samantha! She is one of a kind. Whether bold or emotional, Samantha has always been Sam to the core.
      Her journey as a heroine has been a unique one, starting at the age of 13 in 2010 and continuing for 13 years as a top heroine. Her lady-oriented films have touched the hearts of viewers. Samantha has played different characters in her films, unlike most of the current heroines. She can rightfully claim to have a diehard fan base, who won't switch to other heroines easily. Rama Lakshmi - Rangasthalam In Rangasthalam, Samantha played the role of a village girl with an excellent accent. She impressed everyone with her acting skills.

Samantha played a challenging role in this movie, where she fought with villains and protected her younger sister from them. The movie was a commercial success.

      Rajamouli vs Sukumar: Sukumar's Upper Hand in This Aspect Leaves Rajamouli Behind!
      Rajamouli vs Sukumar: Sukumar's Upper Hand in This Aspect Leaves Rajamouli Behind!
      When it comes to top directors in Tollywood, visionary filmmaker Rajamouli comes to mind first. Through the film RRR, Rajamouli elevated the Telugu film industry's reputation to Oscar-level fame. However, Rajamouli failed in one aspect: transforming his assistant directors into top directors. In this regard, director Sukumar has achieved immense success. Several directors who learned under Sukumar have demonstrated their prowess through hit films. Let's now see who these directors are. Sukumar's Assistant Directors Srikanth Odela Srikanth Odela is currently making waves in Tollywood. With his debut film, Srikanth shattered box office records. His film 'Dasara' starring Nani entered the 100-crore club. Before this film, Srikanth worked as an assistant director under Sukumar. He contributed significantly to the success of the films Nannaku Prematho and Rangasthalam. Sukumar once mentioned that Rangasthalam wouldn't have been such a great success without Srikanth Odela, which speaks to the director's talent. https://telugu.yousay.tv/en/a-story-of-passion-and-patience-srikanth-odelas-four-year-journey-to-work-with-sukumar-and-direct-dasara.html Buchi Babu Sana Buchi Babu is another individual who began as Sukumar's assistant director and later became a successful director. With his first film, Uppena, Buchi Babu created a sensation. He skillfully applied the lessons taught by Sukumar and showed his mark with his very first film. He presented debut hero Vaishnav Tej and heroine Krithi Shetty beautifully on screen. Uppena's massive success led to Buchi Babu getting the chance to direct a film with Ram Charan. Ram Charan himself announced that Buchi Babu would direct his 16th film. Palnati Surya Pratap Emerging from Sukumar's directorial school, Palnati Surya Pratap also managed to secure a significant hit with his debut film. He demonstrated his talent through the film "Kumari 21F". Recently, Surya directed the movie "18 Pages" starring hero Nikhil and heroine Anupama. This classic love story has garnered a good buzz. Surya also worked as a screenwriter for Sukumar's films such as "1: Nenokkadine", "Rangasthalam", and "Pushpa". Rajamouli's Assistant Directors: G.R. Krishna Tollywood director G.R. Krishna initially worked as an assistant director under Rajamouli. He played a vital role in the success of the film "Simhadri". Krishna was introduced as a director with the movie "Aadu Magadra Bujji", but he couldn't achieve success in the expected range. His subsequent film "Iddari Lokam Okate" also failed at the box office. Since 2019, Krishna hasn't been able to helm another film in Tollywood. Karuna Kumar Another Tollywood director, Karuna Kumar, also learned filmmaking under Rajamouli. He went on to direct several films but couldn't make a mark. His debut film "Palasa" received positive talk but failed at the box office. Later, movies like "Metro Kathalu", "Sridevi Soda Center", and "Kalapuram" failed to impress the audience. Ashwin Gangaraju Director Ashwin Gangaraju also worked as an assistant director under Rajamouli. He played a crucial role in the success of "Baahubali-1" and "Baahubali-2". In 2021, Ashwin made his directorial debut with the film "Aakashavaani", but the movie did not perform well. Rajamouli's Heroes and their Flops...! Not only Rajamouli's protégés but also the heroes who have worked with him in movies seem to experience failure in their subsequent films, which is quite surprising. Jr. NTR Rajamouli made his first film 'Student No.1' with Jr. NTR, which became a super hit. However, Jr. NTR's next film 'Subbu' flopped. Rajamouli then made 'Simhadri' with Jr. NTR, which was another massive hit. But after that, Jr. NTR's 'Andhrawala' failed at the box office. Rajamouli directed the film 'Yamadonga' with Jr. NTR, and then his next film 'Kantri' turned out to be a disaster. Prabhas In 2005, Rajamouli made the movie 'Chatrapathi' with Prabhas, which was a huge hit. However, Prabhas' next film 'Pournami' was a flop and left him disappointed. After 'Chatrapathi', Rajamouli made 'Baahubali' and 'Baahubali 2' with Prabhas, which elevated Tollywood's range and made Prabhas a pan-India star. Unfortunately, Prabhas' subsequent films 'Saaho' and 'Radhe Shyam' received flop talk. Ram Charan Before 'RRR', Rajamouli made the movie 'Magadheera' with Ram Charan. Released in 2009, the film shook the silver screen. However, Ram Charan's 2010 film 'Orange' was a major failure. Sunil, who worked with Rajamouli on 'Maryada Ramanna', also faced difficulties finding success after that film. Similarly, Nani experienced a flop after Rajamouli's film 'Eega'. Nani and Samantha's film 'Yeto Vellipoyindi Manasu' also failed at the box office."

      Cinema is a boundless art form that frequently reflects real-life scenarios and illuminates societal issues. Many films, deeply entrenched in local settings, have garnered acclaim for their authentic portrayal of regional languages, characters, and environments. In Tollywood, a variety of films have vividly captured the essence of the Telugu states. Let's delve into some of these interesting films.

Balagam Starring Priyadarshi and directed by Venu Yeldandi of Jabardasth fame, 'Balagam' was a huge success last year. The film mirrored the villages of Telangana, depicting the relationships among villagers and the rituals followed during funerals. Rangasthalam The movie 'Rangasthalam,' a collaboration between Ram Charan and director Sukumar, is set in the transport villages of the Godavari region during the 1980s. Ram Charan, playing the role of Chittibabu, vividly brings to life a young man from the Godavari districts, enchanting audiences with his authentic dialect and language. Dasara In the film 'Dasara,' starring Nani, the influence of the Peddapalli/Ramagundam areas of Telangana is evident. Nani skillfully delivers dialogues in the local language, enhancing the film’s authenticity. Director Srikanth Odela captures the daily lives of those residing near the Singareni coal mines. The portrayal resonated well with local audiences, who expressed their appreciation for the film's depiction of their region. Colour Photo Released on OTT during the COVID period, 'Colour Photo' emerged as a successful love story set against the backdrop of Konaseema, beautifully showcasing the region to the Telugu audience. This film also marked the transformation of comedian Suhas into a leading hero. Uppena The film 'Uppena,' featuring young actor Panja Vaishnav Tej and directed by Buchi Babu, achieved significant success. It portrayed the lives of fishermen in the coastal areas of Kakinada, highlighting the challenges they face during their fishing endeavors. Kotha Bangaru Lokam Directed by Srikanth Addala and starring Varun Sandesh, 'Kotha Bangaru Lokam' was filmed extensively, with over 50% shot in Rajahmundry and its surroundings. The film captures the profound love that parents in these areas have for their children and the purity of their hearts. Virata Parvam Starring Rana and Sai Pallavi, 'Virata Parvam' is set in Naxal-affected regions, primarily during 1990-92 in the agency areas of the Mulugu district. The film portrays how people's lives were intertwined with the influences of politicians, Maoists, and police during that period. Ismart Shankar Directed by Puri Jagannadh and featuring Ram Pothineni, 'Ismart Shankar' is set in the Old City area. The hero's dialogue and expressions authentically mirror those of the local residents. Nabha Natesh, who plays the heroine, notably identifies herself repeatedly as a girl from Warangal, adding depth to her character. C/o Kancharapalem Directed by Maha Venkatesh, 'C/o Kancharapalem' made a significant impact upon its release. The film is set in North Andhra and features a dialect typical of the Vizianagaram district. Key roles were performed by Karthik Ratnam, Raju, Radha Bessy, and Praneeta Patnaik, who brought the characters to life with their authentic portrayals. Raja Vaaru Rani Gaaru 'Raja Vaaru Rani Gaaru,' featuring Kiran Abbavaram, captures the essence of the twin Godavari districts beautifully. The film showcases the pristine environment of local villages, providing audiences with a vivid depiction of rural life. To truly appreciate the native culture of the Godavari region, this film is a must-watch. Films shot near Godavari Tollywood has a rich history of films set in the Godavari districts.

      Young beauty Nidhhi Agerwal has once again flaunted her charm. She captivated everyone with her overflowing beauty. In white, red, and black dresses, Nidhhi offered a nice treat to her fans. Her latest photos are going viral on the internet. In these photos, Nidhhi did not hold back any of her allure, mesmerizing netizens with her waist, and midriff. Moving on to her personal details, she was born in Hyderabad. However, Nidhhi's education and growth took place in Bangalore. Starting her career as a model, she participated in the 'Miss Diva Universe 2014' contest and caught everyone's attention. In 2017, she made her Bollywood debut with 'Munna Michael,' captivating everyone with her role as Deepika Sharma. The following year, she greeted Telugu audiences with 'Savyasachi,' earning good marks for her role opposite Naga Chaitanya. Despite 'Savyasachi' receiving a flop talk, she was surrounded by numerous opportunities in Telugu. During this time, she acted opposite Akhil Akkineni in 'Mr. Majnu' under Venky Atluri's direction, charming the audience as Nikitha. She achieved a solid success in Telugu with 'iSmart Shankar,' acting alongside hero Ram. Even after the success of 'iSmart Shankar,' opportunities in Telugu dwindled for her. Thus, focusing on the Tamil industry, Nidhhi Agerwal impressed the audience there with 'Eeswaran' alongside Simbu, and 'Bhoomi' with Jayam Ravi. In 2022, she starred in 'Hero' alongside Mahesh Babu's nephew, Ashok Galla. However, the movie failed at the box office, leaving her disappointed. Currently, Nidhhi Agerwal has two big projects in hand. She is acting alongside Pawan Kalyan in 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' and with Prabhas in 'The Raja Saab.' She has high hopes for these films, believing success in these would cement her place in Tollywood. While actively doing films, she also engages with her fans on social media, frequently sharing hot photo shoots. Currently, she enjoys a massive following on social media, with 28.5 million people following her account on Instagram. On the other hand, popular anchor and actress Anasuya also made headlines with a stunning hot show, throwing a cheeky challenge to netizens with her navel displays. Sharing these photos herself, Anasuya gave her fans a delightful treat, raising temperatures by flaunting her waist and lifting her hands. Rangammatta Stuns Netizens with Her Hot Looks.. Social Media is Ablaze with Comments! Heroines Can't Match Her Glamor, Showered with Praises. Anasuya's career took a significant turn with the movie Rangasthalam. Her performance as Rangammatta captured the industry's attention. Following Rangasthalam, Anasuya was flooded with movie offers. She shined in movies like Meku Matrame Chepta, Kathanam, F2, Chavu Kaburu Challaga, Thank You Brother, Khiladi, and Wanted Pandugadu. Currently, Anasuya has many movies in her kitty. She plays a pivotal role in Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2. Bollywood beauty Janhvi Kapoor also created a sensation on social media today with her beauty parade. In a tight-fit red dress, she set the internet on fire, looking as spicy as a hot chili, igniting young hearts. Netizens are smitten by her stunning outfit, claiming Bollywood has never seen beauty like Janhvi's before. With a series of films in Bollywood, Janhvi Kapoor is soon to make her entry into Tollywood. She's set to debut with Jr NTR in the movie Devara. Rumors suggest she has also bagged a role in Kollywood hero Surya's movie Karna. Janhvi Kapoor made her Bollywood debut with Dhadak. However, the average talk of the movie didn't bring her much fame. Gunjan Saxena brought her recognition for her acting, impressing critics with her performance in this biopic. Despite acting in Good Luck Jerry, Mili, and Bawaal, she hasn't achieved significant success. Recently, Janhvi grabbed attention with a special song in the movie Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani. Currently, this beauty is busy in Bollywood with the film Mr. & Mrs. Mahi, directed by Sharan Sharma.

      MEGA HEROES: Mega Family's Domination in Tollywood... So Many Heroes?
      MEGA HEROES: Mega Family's Domination in Tollywood... So Many Heroes?
      Once upon a time in Tollywood, names like NTR, Akkineni Nageshwara Rao, and Superstar Krishna were synonymous with the industry. However, with the arrival of Chiranjeevi, the Telugu film industry saw a significant shift. Chiru, who delivered numerous superhits, established himself as the leading hero and paved the way for the younger generation in his family. Today, Mega Heroes reign supreme in Tollywood, with a minimum of one movie from them hitting the screens every 5 to 6 months. Let's have a glance at the Mega Heroes who are currently dominating the Tollywood scene. Pawan Kalyan Pawan Kalyan, Chiranjeevi's younger brother, stepped into Tollywood and quickly gained a massive fan following. Making his debut with the movie "Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi" (1996), Pawan rose to the top with hits like Suswagatham, Tholi Prema, and Kushi. Recently, his films Vakeel Saab and Bheemla Nayak have been successful at the box office. Currently, Pawan is busy shooting for his upcoming movies, Ustaad Bhagat Singh and Harihara Veera Mallu. Ram Charan Ram Charan, the son of Chiranjeevi, entered the industry and has now reached pan-India stardom with the movie RRR. Charan made his debut with the film Chirutha and later consolidated his position in Tollywood with the movie Magadheera. His fame grew exponentially with the film Rangasthalam, which was further elevated by RRR. Currently, Charan is working on the movie Game Changer, directed by Shankar. After that, he has a movie lined up with Uppena director Buchi Babu. Allu Arjun As Chiranjeevi's nephew and Allu Aravind's son, Allu Arjun entered the world of cinema. With his debut movie "Gangotri," Allu Arjun made a strong impression. Following that, films like Arya, Bunny, and Desamuduru solidified Allu Arjun's status as a leading hero. With the release of the Sukumar-directed film Pushpa, Allu Arjun gained pan-India recognition. He currently holds the top spot among Telugu heroes with the highest number of Instagram followers. Presently, Allu Arjun is busy shooting for Pushpa 2. Sai Dharam Tej Chiranjeevi's nephew, Sai Dharam Tej, also entered the industry as a Mega Hero. He captivated Telugu audiences with his 2014 film "Pilla Nuvvu Leni Jeevitham." He then garnered superhits through movies such as Subrahmanyam for Sale, Supreme, and Chitra Lahari. Sai Dharam Tej's latest movie, Virupaksha, is set to hit the screens on April 21st. Varun Tej As the son of Mega Brother Nagababu, Varun Tej made his entry into the film industry. With his debut film 'Mukunda,' Tej captivated everyone's attention. His films 'Kanche,' 'Antariksham,' 'Tholi Prema,' and 'Fida' became successful at the box office. Currently, Tej is acting in VT13 and 'Gandivdhari Arjuna’ films.   Panja Vaishnav Tej Panja Vaishnav Tej, another nephew of Chiranjeevi, also made his way into the industry. He achieved great success with his debut film 'Uppena.' His subsequent film 'Konda Polam' received critical acclaim as well. However, his recent film 'Ranga Ranga Vaibhavanga' failed to impress Telugu audiences. Allu Sirish As Chiranjeevi's nephew and Allu Arjun's younger brother, Allu Sirish stepped into the film world. Sirish, who made his debut with 'Gouravam,' managed to win audiences over with films like 'Okka Kshanam,' 'ABCD,' and 'Kotha Janta.' His film 'Srirastu Subhamastu' was well-received by family audiences, but his latest movie 'Urvasivo Rakshasivo' fell flat at the box office. Kalyaan Dhev Chiranjeevi's son-in-law and Sreeja's husband, Kalyaan Dhev, also tried his luck as a hero. With the film 'Vijetha,' Kalyaan Dhev made his first appearance in Telugu cinema but failed to make a mark. His subsequent films 'Super Machi' and 'Kinnerasani' also failed to captivate Telugu audiences.
