Tollywood item girl & actress Mumaith Khan, who has been wooing audiences with her item numbers and good performance in Tollywood, has yet another revelation to make. I like to dress in tribal clothes. Even as a child, I was fascinated by them, and didn’t like wear modern dresses. But, obviously, my parents didn’t agree to this, she reveals-Telugu Cinemass.

Telugu movie Producer Bellamkonda Suresh is planning a big film. He has brought in director Vijaya Bhaskar and hero Tarun (the duo which delivered Nuvve Kavali) together for a new film. Vijay Bhaskar who was supposed to direct a film for Mohan Babu – Vishnu and later for producer Manjula seems to be running from one producer to the other. Presently, this combination is under talks.

Directed by Boyapati Srinu of Bhadra-fame and produced by D Sureshbabu on the banner of Suresh Productions, “Thulasi” is coming up with Victory Venkatesh as hero and Nayanatara as heroine.

Tollywood actor Dr. Rajendra Prasad will receive Allu Ramalingayya National Award for this year.

The muhurat of yet to be titled film, being jointly produced by Raju, Praveen, Yarlagadda Venkat Rao and Mnnem Venkataramana, under the banner of Silver Screen Movies, was held Friday morning at Ramanaidu Studios.

Telugu director Puri Jagannath has made many NRIs happy with one dialogue made by the heroine. In a scene the heroine gives money to Ram Charan and asks him to take it. She says the amount is 1,000 dollars and asks the hero to accept it as it amounts to 50,000 rupees in Indian currency. Now, when did the Dollar touch the 50 rupee mark?
