Junior NTR is one of the best dancers in Tollywood. He used to be on the top until Allu Arjun started to exhibit his super human dancing skills. With his spectacular dances in the films Badrinath and Arya 2, Allu Arjun surpassed NTR and is rated as the best dancer by one and all. Since then NTR fans have been waiting for a strong reply from their star.

Even Dammu is not going to fulfill their dreams if the sources are to be believed. Why because NTR didn't do any special dances in this film. NTR has done only normal dance moves that he usually does it seems. Therefore Bunny will still have the upper hand in this area as NTR slowed down considerably and Ram Charan is just banking on simple and graceful dances.

Allu Arjun tries to offer variety in dances with each film. He practices for months to thrill the audience with his dances. Other heroes are not putting in such hard work and efforts to challenge him. However, with all those efforts and superb dance skills, Allu Arjun is not in the race for number one position. Only Mahesh, NTR and Charan are in race as of now.

'Content Kam... Collections Jyaada', that is Racha for you. This film was labeled as a pretty average and routine fare by the critics. But the movie clicked well with the target audience and has been doing tremendously well at the box office. After creating a new record in opening day collections, Racha went on to collect around 16 crore rupees share in just three days, in AP alone.

The collections were superb on Sunday too. Early estimates say that the film collected more than four crores on the fourth day in AP. Which means the first weekend (four days) collections in AP alone are over 20 crore rupees. Even if the film slows down from Monday, it is highly likely to cross 30 crore mark in full in run in AP. When the collections from other regions are added the final tally will be more than Rs. 35 crore.

If Racha doesn't slow down from the fourth day and continues its good run in the week days and stays steady for a couple more weeks, then the overall collections will be more than 40 crore rupees. In all probabilities, Racha proved critics wrong by turning into a massive hit. Bottom line from this story is never rule out a mass film's success. We can never estimate a mass movie's potential at the box office.

In Bollywood, people create gossips between the lead pair and rifts between heroine and producer prior to the release of movie. This will help them in getting that 'free publicity' in media. Such stuff is now happening to 'Eega' too.

'Eega' is always an exception to rumors as the big brand name before its title is enough to heap audience in theatres. SS Rajamouli, the Jakkanna of Tollywood, is however getting additional publicity for 'Eega' at free cost. With Rajamouli getting invited to most of the happening functions of tinsel town, there is no need to promote 'Eega' separately.

Whenever he glimpses on screen, people are being flashed with his latest movie in their minds. More than a 'celebrity', Rajamouli has become a lucky charm for all the events he is attending, reveals a source. Whatever may be the reason, this time his continuous presence in the media will help boosting opening collections for this much awaited science-fiction movie.

 'Gabbar Singh' is surely raising expectation bars among the audience with days inching towards films arrival. More than anything, Powerstar's mannerisms are said to be a highlight in the movie.

Apparently, PawanKalyan's single dialogue from the teaser has made fans gaga over the whole film. His fun laced satirical dialogue witnessed the best of 'mass' in him. Likewise, recently released audio-teaser also hyped the movie's songs. Pawan's 'Teenmaar' steps for some foot tapping music will give fans the desired hit, say insiders.

A unit member revealed that Pawan's 'Gabbar Singh' character is full of mass dialogues and mannerisms which is almost a double to what Ram Charan has got in 'Racha'. If that is the case, then there is no doubt Gabbar Singh will remain the highest grosser in Pawan's career!

She is called the s*xy hip beauty and though she hails from Goa, she has become the ruling queen of hearts in Tollywood. She is none other than Ileana and right now it appears that Ileana is silently climbing her way in Bollywood. The reason we say this is after hearing this interesting bit from Mumbai.

It is heard that the vegetarian hunk Shahid Kapoor has been appealed by the glamour of Ileana and has expressed a desire to pair with her in his new movie. This happens to be the remake of the Tamil movie 'Vettai'. Buzz is that the makers have already informed Ileana and are waiting for her to return from Bangkok to have further discussions.

Already, Ileana is almost ready with her debut movie in Bollywood titled as 'Barfee' wherein she is pairing up with young hunk Ranbir Kapoor. And if the second biggie also gets confirmed then the hardcore fans of Ileana in Andhra Pradesh may better get prepared to not see her on Telugu screens for a while.

 Software engineers are able to deliver some sensible flicks, but are unable to pick the pulse in a proper time is the feeling of critics. To support their word, here is another example in the form of director Praveen Sattaru.

LBW, a film that has spoken the emotions of busy minds is a creation of Praveen Sattaru, the director turned software engineer. However, the film bounced at BO due to lack of proper commercial elements but has won accolades for Praveen. After taking some time, he started 'Routine Love Story' with Sandeep and Regina as the lead couple. Touted to be a romantic comedy, makers stated that the film is expected to finish by Jan 2012 and hit theatres by Valentine's Day. Though the scorching summer has hit Tollywood, this film is still getting molded in production.

Right from Sekhar Kammula to Krish to Deva Katta, it has been a 'routine' that Software people cannot make flicks in time frame like Puri, Vytla and Vinayak. Off course, their films are sensible, but crossing time limit will burn the pockets of producer!

Enthralling seductress Nayantara, is all set to rock silver screen with her sizzling performance once again. However, the starlet has rejected a Telugu magazine's request of going 's*xy' for their cover page.

Recently, Nayantara has done a sizzling photoshoot for a Tamil magazine that has lot of craze in tinsel towns. However, the actress is heard rejecting one such plea of a magazine that hails from Telugu industry. It is because of two demands, say insiders. One is, this magazine is run by few shrewd businessman turned actors who wants to get everything for free. They are known for using the powers of Telugu Film Producers Council and Film Chamber to make actresses accept for photo shoots.

Secondly, Nayan was asked to go s*xier in terms of skin show to boost the sales of magazine. Reportedly, Nayan is shocked with these demands of Telugu magazine that is planning to cash on her re-entry. Finally, she has agreed for an hour of shoot and that too with fully covered dress which hasn't evinced interest in magazine folks. Stay connected for more updates.

Comedian Vennela Kishore's much hyped movie 'Vennela 1.5' is not heard so far, despite the rich summer season made its arrival. Film Nagar folks are saying that too many cooks have spoiled the outcome of this movie.

Slated to be an adult comedy in the likes of 'Hang Over' and 'Delhi Belly', Vennela Kishore used his creativity to wrap up this movie as fast as he can. However, some flaws in the script are identified only after filming the stuff they intended for. Indeed, here plays 'experience' its part. Insiders say that the output is not so exciting, though it had loads of double meaning dialogues and sleazy scenes.

While they thought of doing an adult comedy, the film turned out as a YouTube film. Reliable sources revealed that a top Telugu producer has purchased the flick due to the hype generated, but fainted when he saw the output in editing room. Kishore is heard re-shooting many portions of the movie to make it commercially viable.

South actress Asin, who is tumbling in Bollywood to make a career, was disappointed by Powerstar Pawan Kalyan earlier. What she felt like a re-entry was thrashed by our star hero with his quest for milky-glamour.

Yes, Asin is said to be the original choice for 'Ganga' role in Pawan-Puri's upcoming movie. Powerstar has earlier paired up with Asin Thottumukkal for 'Annavaram', while Puri has done a couple of movies with her. As she is waiting for commercial cinemas to happen in her career, Asin tried a lot to be a part of this flick which could mark her re-entry in Telugu.

While she is giving a color that she is extra choosy about projects and not in a hurry to sign films, she tried hard to get this flick under her kitty. Sources revealed that Pawan felt no magic in roping Asin while milky beauty Tamanna's presence could heat up their on-screen chemistry. Finally Asin is out and Tamanna is in, leaving the former one dejected.

Racha has been doing exceptional business all over. Ram Charan has proved his mettle as a mass star with this movie. He is doing Racha at the box office without a star director. People are wondering what if Racha was directed by a frontline director? The impact and craze would have been much more than this.

If Charan fans are feeling bad about missing the chance of bagging more collections, they need not worry much because Cherry's next film is going to be much bigger for sure. Charan's immediate release after Racha would be Vinayak's movie. This will be released for Dussera. With a star director of Vinayak's caliber, sky will be the limit for Charan's mass movie.

With Racha, Charan has turned the favorite of mass cinema specialists. We can expect a film each from Boyapati Srinu, Puri Jagannadh and other big mass directors in the coming days. If Charan proves to be consistent and maintains a good success rate, then the discussion of number one hero will find a certain answer.
