Comedy hero Sunil, director Trivikram Srinivas are best friends and were even roommates during their struggling phase in film industry. Till date, Sunil believes so much in Trivikram and consults him every time when he is in a deadlock about story or script selection for his films. However, we should also remember that Sunil grew to this stage as a hero only after getting early breaks in industry by acting in comedian characters in Trivikram movies.
Now that Sunil is also well settled as a reliable hero, media tried to pull out an answer on how is his relation with Trivikram and are there any chances of both of them working for a movie again.
'Trivikram prepared a script with 'Banthi' title assuming me as hero. I do not know how far that subject is valid to current times but I am sure to act as hero in Trivikram's direction sometime in near future. I don't mind stopping my career after working on this project,' said Sunil.
'Jakkanna,' the last release from Sunil opened to divided talk but enjoyed wonderful collections on day 1.

Whenever heroine Ramya Krishna is seen partying single in Chennai or whenever Krishna Vamsi is seen spending his time in Hyderabad, there are always rumours that the celebrity couple have parted ways. So, what's the truth behind it.
"I don't take these divorce rumour seriously. People who don't have work keep on writing whatever they want as if they have seen with eyes", said Krishna Vamsi, also claiming that he need not prove the proximity between him and his wife by constantly appearing together on social circuits. What will Ramya feel about these gossips?
"She can't read Telugu, So I'll read those divorce talks for her. She'll just say 'avuna?' and laughs", said Krishna Vamsi, signing off.

That's when Sudhakar was doing well as Hero in Tamil Films. Radhika was paired opposite him for the first time. Sudhakar is so tensed while working with Radhika as she is the daughter of MR Radha who created a sensation by shooting a person with a gun. To make things even more difficult, Director has planned the first scene in a way that Sudhakar has to lift Radhika in the air. Accidentally, Sudhakar's Hand went into inner wear of the actress. Enraged with it, Radhika slapped him in front of the Unit Members.
Later, Makers asked them to watch movies together and go for dinners to make sure they share a sparkling chemistry during the shoot. That's how they became good friends and shared screen space in 13 films.
Sudhakar is the roommate of Chiiranjeevi and Hari Prasad during their struggling days. While Megastar used to cook rice, Sudhakar would prepare curries and Hari Prasad used to bring veggies from market.
The Star Comedian was in coma for sometime. But, He is now completely fit and wishes to sign more films. 'Vadu Nenu Kadu' marks Sudhakar's re-entry into films.

Spicy siren Kajal Agarwal is trying all possible ways to get back into limelight after two back to back flops like Sardaar and Brahmotsavam. In her upcoming film Kavalai Vendam, she's getting ready to showcase her tempting looks. 
For a pool song that is being shot on Kajal and hero Jiva, our hottie is seen wearing spicy bikini tops. Though Kajal has covered her bosom with a see-through top, definitely this is going to be her hottest best look as her bikini-top could be clearly felt through it. We hear that she's even appearing in a bikini in a shot.
Like Samantha, probably Kajal is also trying to showcase her bikini body now.

Like Samantha, probably Kajal is also trying to showcase her bikini body now.
Can you guess how much Kajal Agarwal is getting for one song in NTR's "Janatha Garage"? Exactly Rs 50 Lakhs.
The makers wanted to perk up some glamour touch to the movie and have roped in Tamannah for the song. She accepted to do the song for Rs 30 lakhs but she walked out when she found it impossible to adjust her dates to this movie.
Then the desperate makers approached Kajal Agarwal and she quoted high price than Tamannah. After negotiations, they have agreed to pay he Rs 50 lakhs. This is almost nearly 40 percent of her regular remuneration. For three day of work, she is getting such huge remuneration.
Since "Janatha Garage" is big film and there are lot of expectations on the movie, the producers have shelled out such hefty amount. There is also another aspect that Kajal's pairing with NTR means success. All three films she did with the Young Tiger have become successful. Hence the big amount.
Bold girl and the self proclaimed 'Bad Girl' Sherlyn Chopra is taking Instagram by storm with some and hot and sizzling updates.
Sherlyn who is known for her bold photo shoots is setting the benchmark for all the wannabes with mindboggling photos.
She is also writing perfect captions for her photos. For instance, she wrote 'Too glam to give a damn' for this very picture on Instagram. Who would dare not to agree with her? Do you?
"Pelli Choopulu" is turning out to be a sleeper hit as the film has posted most impressive numbers on the first day in USA. Although it was a slow starter with the premiere shows, it has picked up after the genuine reviews have emerged. It grew by 200 percent.
Directed by Tharun Bhascker, this new age love story has grossed 75k dollars by end of first day. "Pelli Choopulu" was bought for just Rs 12 Lakhs. So the distributors are already in profits. Over this weekend, it will be adding further and become a good hit
.Vijay Devarakonda and Ritu Varma acted in "Pelli Choopulu" and the film is produced by Raj Kandukuri and D Suresh Babu. Even Rana posted his appreciation about the film on the twitter.
On the other hand, Sunil's "Jakkanna" is a total washout in USA. It was no starter and the collections are paltry. This is third consecutive dud for Sunil in overseas market.
There have been lots of speculations doing the rounds of Nargis Fakhri being depressed and the reason behind is her alleged breakup with her beau Uday Chopra.
Also there were rumours that Nargis has left Bollywood forever and will never be back in town. There is no sign of any sadness in this lady.
The Azhar actress is all happy and is having the time of her life. Just look at the latest picture of her which she shared on her Instagram account.
Katrina Kaif's two-piece bikini pic from 'Baar Baar Dekho' took the internet by storm on Saturday night. The leggy lass flaunted her curves in a orange swimwear. Chemistry between Siddharth Malhotra and Katrina Kaif is so endearing to watch. This is probably the best intimate moment between the Lead Pair in the movie.
The promo of Dance Number 'Kala Chasma' fetched 100 Million views in just 2-and-a-half days. It has shattered all the Youtube records. Thanks to the washboard abs and stunning moves of Katrina!
Do you still have any doubts over Box Office potential of 'Baar Baar Dekho'. This could probably be another Rs 100 crore flick for Bollywood. September 9th!

In protest against the centre's refusal to grant special status to Andhra Pradesh, YSR Congress party president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy called AP bandh on August 2 (Tuesday).
He said the the BJP led NDA ally TDP also failed to impress upon the centre in achieving special status to the residue state of Andhra Pradesh.
The YSR Congress MPs have been raising the issue in Parliament but the TDP MPs are reluctant to join hands for the cause.
The party leaders said the opposition party will chalk out an action plan to realise the aspirations and dreams of Andhra Pradesh people soon. -

Telangana Leaders have supported Andhrites demand for Special Category Status. Yes, This is very much true! In the 3-and-a-half hour discussion on Private Members Bill seeking Special Status to AP, TRS MP K Kesava Rao and Congress MP Renuka Chowdary showed they won't remain as mere spectators if injustice is being done to Telugu People irrespective of state.
K Kesava Rao made it clear in Upper House that TRS is in favor of Special Status to AP. He stressed the need to fulfill all the promises made in the Parliament and AP Reorganisation Act 2014.
Renuka Chowdary, on the other hand, got a bit emotional during her speech on Special Status. 'Do you want 5 crore Andhrites to beg for Special Status? Is this for political gains? You should realize that goodness of Andhrites isn't their weakness. Don't make excuses!,' she warned.
In a way, Telangana Leaders proved that they have fought for the good cause better than Andhra MPs.

In a shocking way, former heroine Sridevi's daughter Janvi Kapoor has rejected to star in Mahesh Babu's upcoming film under AR Murugadoss direction. Here goes the detail.
Actually after Parineeti Chopra has decided to not pick this film due to dates issue, the makers of Mahesh's movie immediately approached Janvi Kapoor. The youngster however rejected the film, saying that she wants to prepare more with dances, acting and others. Currently she's being trained at Lee Strassberg acting school in Los Angeles. Had she used this opportunity to star in Mahesh film, surely it would have become a big debut.
Bollywood sources however quipped that Sridevi wants her daughter to become a big hero than a heroine. Voila, is that really possible?

Telangana IT, industry and NRI affairs minister KT Rama Rao is lobbying strongly with the union government for direct flights from Hyderabad to Dallas and New York where Telugu people particularly hailed from Telangana are residing in the two internationally known cities in America.
KTR met the Civil Vitiation minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju at his office in New Delhi and submitted a memorandum to the minister requesting to ply the flights between Hyderabad and the US cities in view of increased demand for air traffic.
He also urged the union minister to clear the long pending greenfield airport at Kothagudem immediately as the state government already got required clearances from the forest and other departments.

Movie Review: Jakkanna
Rating: 2/5
Cast: Sunil, Mannara Chopra, Kabir Singh, Satya Prakash, Nagineedu, Pruthvi, Saptagiri, Posani Krishna Murali, Chitram Seenu, Raghu Rarumanchi, Ashish Vidyarthi and Others.
Music: Dinesh
Cinematography: Ram Parsed
Dialogues: Bhavani Prasad
Producer: Sudarshan Reddy
Story, Screenplay & Direction: Vamsi Krishna Akella
Release Date: 29th July 2016
In the past three years, Sunil hardly delivered a decent hit. When he badly needed a solid success, This Comedian-turned-Hero okayed the subject of 'Jakkanna' scripted & directed by Vamsi Krishna Akella of 'Raksha' fame. Is the captain 'Back To Entertain' apt for the project? Let's find out…
Synopsis:
Ganesh (Sunil) is a guy who have immense gratitude for those who helped him at some point in his life and won't hesitate to go to any extent to pay back. He lands in Vizag for notorious criminal Bairagi (Kabir Singh) and falls madly in love with a Girl (Mannara Chopra). Finally, He traces Bairagi and appears before him. What's the link between Ganesh & Bairagi? Why do Ganesh want to meet Bairagi & what happened after they came face-to-face with each other? Grab the tickets of 'Jakkanna' to know more..!
Performances:
After shedding weight & gaining muscles, Sunil lost the comic touch for which he is known for! Vast change in the physical appearance and body language have ruined his ability to generate humour. He isn't even able to earn brownie points with Heroism to make things worse. One thing is for sure, Sunil has been putting a lot of effort to bounce back and his dances were good.
Mannara Chopra fails to leave a good impression either with glamour or performance. Kabir Singh is wasted. One gets the doubt if he is the same guy who looked menacing in 'Jil'. Rest of the cast is alright.
Pros:
Saptagiri's Comedy
Pruthvi
Production Values
Cons:
Characterizations
Screenplay
Direction
Technicalities:
Dinesh composed tunes which will suit a mass subject and they have given good scope for Sunil to shake his leg on the dance floor. Background Score is ordinary. Nothing special about Ram Prasad's Camera Work. Production Values are rich. Seems like, Producer have spent more than the market of Sunil. 'Raksha' Director Vamsi Krishna attempted an out and out commercial subject this time. But, His script lacked originality & logic to produce a money spinner.
Analysis:
Basic Plot & Screenplay of 'Jakkanna' keeps on irritating the viewers after a point. Audience get disconnected with the story during the Interval Block. In the second half, Comedy Scenes start coming one after the other without any logic.
Audience wait to know if there is any specific reason for the behaviour of Hero but only in the Climax they realize that they were expecting too much. Kabir Singh's Introduction is powerful. But, The impact has been diluted by making him look like a baffoon in the other scenes. None of the Six Songs were appreciable and most of them appear forced.
Saptagiri brings the much needed relief with his role as Dummy Kung Fu Master & Spoof inspired from Memory Loss concept in 'Bhale Bhale Magadivoy'. Even Pruthvi succeeds to some extent with imitation of Balayya's dialogue modulation. Notably, Audience might enjoy these comedy tracks only if they don't bother about story, screenplay and logic.
Why Jakkanna has been chosen as the Title? No one had any clue why Makers preferred it till the very end. In the Climax, Director tried to give justification to the title with a Dialogue 'Raayi La Unna Villain Ni Shilpam La Marchina Ithanu Jakkanna'. The end result could have been different had if Director focused on narration rather than punchlines with rhyming words.
Bottom Line: Jakkanna - A Sculpture not worth Watching!
