Safe & Successful Venky
Venkatesh is known for playing it safe in the industry. And that explains why every second film of his is a remake either from Tamil of elsewhere. If it is not a remake it is a home production. Is it because he doesn’t trust the directors?

Andhari blood boil avuthondi Rajnigaru

I understand you are a thorough professional [...]

TFI deluged by endorsements
Chiranjeevi did a Thums Up ad till he was replaced by Mahesh Babu. His brother Pawan Kalyan, at the height of his career, exhorted the youth to guzzle Pepsi. It is a different matter that no one wants to touch him even with a barge pole. And now their nephew Allu Arjun, whose career is [...]
