NTR Achieves A Feat on Facebook

Young Tiger NTR is working day and night for Nannaku Prematho despite high fever as to wrap up the film soon to release it on scheduled date of January 13th.

Meanwhile, the actor has achieved a rare feat. NTR's Facebook page has crossed 2 million likes. Although NTR is not delivering right hits off late, fans are with him always and are hoping Nannaku Prematho to provide him the much needed break. The number of likes indeed exhibits NTR fans base.

But, one thing that worried NTR and Nannaku Prematho production unit is fans incessantly asked for audio launch passes on social platforms like Facebook and Twitter. Now, after getting known about NTR unhealthy conditions, fans have stopped requesting the actor for passes.

The last message NTR posted on his Facebook handle was to request his fans to donate for Chennai floods relief. "#PrayforChennai it's time to be humans by helping each other when nature tests our integrity. I request everyone to help the needed in the best ways possible.am gonna do mine," reads his last post.

Except for a song, currently being shot in Hyderabad, entire production work of Nannaku Prematho is done. Post production works are also in last leg. First copy of the movie is expected on January 8th and efforts are being made to release the movie for Pongal. Hope, it happens!

Top 5 Heroes Of Tollywood in 2015

The Telugu film industry has had some wonderful releases in 2015. There have been many big as well as small films that saw success. Some of the heroes of Telugu cinema ensured not only that they entertained the audience with their acting ability, but also worked on good scripts and made their producers money. Here’s a look at the top five heroes of Tollywood in 2015.

Mahesh Babu

The Prince of Tollywood is known for his blockbusters rather than his failures. Mahesh Babu is an actor who takes it personally when a film fails and in 2014, his film bombed at the box office. But 2015 was his year as he came back with a bang with Srimanthudu. This movie collected Rs 150 crore at the box office turning out to be one of the biggest hits in his career. The actor is a star and idol to his fans and he realises the responsibility he carries on his shoulders. In fact, during the audio release of Srimanthudu in July this year, the star got on stage and said, “You are always in my heart. I disappointed you the last time (Aagadu) so if you think I made a mistake, please forgive me.” The audience was stunned, but this humility is what makes Mahesh Babu the superstar of Telugu cinema.

Prabhas 

Before SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali: The Beginning, actor Prabhas was known only in Telugu cinema. Since 2012, he has also been doing just one film a year. But Baahubali has changed everything. Today, the 36-year-old is a global star who has fans worldwide. The Rs 600-core grossing film by director SS Rajamouli has catapulted him into the global arena and his career is likely to take a different trajectory post the release of the second part of the film. In fact, we hear Hindi filmmakers are waiting to sign him now.

Rana Daggubati 

This 31-year-old handsome hunk has been in the Indian film industry for just five years now, but he made his mark. Rana Daggubati had four film releases in 2015 in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. But it was his portrayal of Bhallala Deva in SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali: The Beginning that got everyone’s attention. His role in this film had negative shades, but with his acting, physique and good looks, the actor won the hearts of all (especially the women). People are now looking forward to the second part of Baahubali.

Nani 

This actor had three releases in 2015 - Janda Pai Kapiraju, Yevade Subramanyam and Bhale Bhale Magadivoy – and also put in some cameos. But it was Nani’s Bhale Bhale Magadivoy that turned out to be a superhit with critics and audience raving about the film. It made more than US $1 million at the US box office and turned out to be the biggest blockbuster in his career. 2015 has definitely been special for him.

NTR Jr.

The son of politician Nandamuri Harikrishna and nephew of AP CM Chandrababu Naidu has done 27 films since he started his career. In 2015, it was Puri  Jagganadh’s  Temper that saw him shine. The movie grossed nearly Rs 70 crore at the box office and proved that NTR Jr is a big draw that BO yet again.

Prabhas or hrithik in "Dhoom Reloaded" ?

The fourth movie in the Dhoom franchise is called "Dhoom Reloaded" according to the latest poster revealed on Yash Raj Films official Twitter handle.

So far there has been a lot of speculation about the cast. According to news reports from October, Salman Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Amitabh Bachchan have signed on for the fourth installment and if rumours are to be believed then it is likely that Baahubali star Prabhas will also make his Bollywood debut with this movie.

The Hindustan Times also reported a source as saying in October, "A while ago, film-maker Aditya Chopra, director Vijay Krishna Acharya and other members of Aditya's production house had asked for a special screening of Baahubali. It was while watching the film that they thought of casting Prabhas. The Dhoom franchise is such where the villain, who is the hero, is supposed to be strong and brawny. Prabhas fits the requirements perfectly. Moreover, the dubbed version of Baahubali, too, got a tremendous box-office response, thus proving that he has a pan-India appeal."

However up till now the film makers have refrained from announcing anything regarding the film except this tweet.
