The talk doing the rounds in film nagar and elsewhere is about Ileana looks and performance. She is now the highest paid actress in Tollywood. Ileana is reported to have received about one crore for acting in the film Bhale Dongalu. We do not know how much she took for her role in Pawan Kalyan‘s Jalsa.
But people who have watched both the films say that Ileana looked glamorous and attractive in Bhale Dongalu in comparison with Jalsa. Even her costumes in Bhale Dongalu were more trendy that those in Jalsa.
Ileana appeared a bit dull in Jalsa but she showed her glamorous best in Bhale Dongalu. But on the other hand, another set of people are saying that Ileana doesn‘t deserve that Rs 1 Cr remuneration and that is too big for her. "Some producers are inflating the remunerations by making over hype. Ileana has nothing big to get that remuneration. Even Charmy deserves better", said an assistant director

Shankar‘s Robot is in deep trouble. Aishwarya Bachchan calls it off after Shankar failed to keep his words of completing the film on a specific time limit. Shankar has signed Ash with Rs. 4 crores and planned to shoot for over two years. Ash is not willing to devote two years time to a single film and hence asked Shankar to complete the film in a specific time frame. But Shankar wished to extent the shooting to two years and therefore Ash walked out. Talks are going on to finalize Deepika Padukone for the film. Aishwarya was delaying Rohan Sippy‘s film Happy Birthday opposite John Abraham for Robot but now that she had opted out from it she is in talk with Rohan Sippy to start the project. It will be directed by Sriram Raghvan. The shooting of Happy Birthday will start from October as John is busy with Kabir Khan‘s film for Yash Raj Productions. By signing Robot at a whopping price, Aishwarya became the highest paid actor in Bollywood but now that she had called it off, her value again falls down.

It’s not the easiest thing for a debutante to do a film which has two other new faces. But Neetu Chandra who made her Bollywood debut in Garam Masala two and half years ago, not only managed to get noticed, but even got plum roles thereafter.
Neetu claims it was a gamble that she took deliberately because she was sure an Akshay Kumar-John Abraham starrer would bring in the crowds, something that a solo heroine project with a newcomer “may not have assured”. And she was not wrong. She did Madhur Bhandarkar’s Traffic Signal and now One Two Three directed by Ashwani Dhir.
Playing a Haryanvi cop who’s a bit of a loudmouth was fun. “I had to take special classes in diction to play that character. It was fun doing this film and my hard work seems to have paid off as I have been appreciated for the role,” says Neetu.
Megastar appreciated Bommarillu Bhaskar for excellent work in Bommarillu and expected the same result with Parugu too. Megastar named Prakash Raj as Natana Mathrikudu.

It is a pleasure to come to this audio function. If we look at the history of Telugu films we can see the variations of the trends. In the begining we used to have Directors films, then Production houses and later music directors and now we are back to the directors. which is a healthy trend. As every one know Bhaskar who proved himself with the Bommarillu, there is no doubt that he made this films also well. Added to that the producer Dhil Raju who has a good taste and known for the sensible scripts is a big strength to this film.
Bunny is good dancer and the tunes for the film helps a lot for his energitic dances. Manisharma who gave musical hits to me also gave the wonderful music to this film. Added to this we have the actor-whizard Prakash Raj who gave sterling performance. With all this combinations falling into the place, I have no doubt about the films sucess" said Chiranjeevi.
Prakash Raj speaks :
This is the best film in my film carrer so far. People will identify with the characters in the film. I acted in Gangotri which is first film of Bunny. If you compare from then to now Bunny gave mind blowing performance. He improved leaps and bounds from film to film. Bunny is a star now, but with this film we can see him also as an Actor of par excellance.
Dhil Raju speaks :
This is the sixth film in my banner. Incidentally it is sixth film for Bunny too. After hearing the story, Chiranjeevi garu encouraged a lot and this is the first time Manisharma is doing a film in our banner, who gave wonderful music. This film will give much needed break to Sheela and gets lot of applause for Bunny for his performance.
Allu Arjun :

Rajinikanth is under fire now from pro-Kannada outfits and political party leaders for making remarks against Kannadigas during his speech during the fast observed by Kollywood on Friday.
Even after Tamilnadu Chief Minister M.Karunanidhi’s decision to put the Hogenakkal issue on the backburner, until an elected government assumes office in Karnataka the fire over the remarks made by Rajinikanth has not gone out. The Akhila Karnataka Gadi Horata Samithi (AKGHS) has said that it won’t allow superstar Rajinikant to ’step into the state’ or his films to be screened until he offers a public apology for remarks on Karnataka and Kannadigas!
Rajinkanth on his part has denied offending the sentiments of people of Karnataka. “It is a malicious propaganda unleashed against me by some people. I am not an unwise person to pass remarks that offend the sentiments of the people of Karnataka,” he said in a recorded statement released to some
regional television channels in Bangalore.
He clarified that while addressing the fast held by Tamil Film industry in Chennai on Friday, he only decried those who have been creating trouble, asking such people to be “kicked” (Odaikanum) and was not referring to all.
“I have not done any wrong. But I am not averse to tendering apology, if I had committed any wrong”, he said, adding “if stalwarts like Parvathamma Rajkumar, Vishnuvardhan, Girish Karnad demanded my apology, I will certainly tender‘.

The Bangalore beauty, Anushka who gave successes like 'Vikramarkudu', and 'Lakshyam' which were small budget films, does not seem to have the same luck when it comes to big-budget films. 'Swagatham' and 'Don' her big banners have failed at the box office and her performance too in these films has received flak. The actress now is all set to amend her folly and get a taste of success and the first step towards growth that the actress has taken is to cut her remuneration by almost half. Well, hope the actress doubles her acting prowess too in her new projects.
