Dhanush gets nostalgic about ‘Kolaveri D’
Dhanush got nostalgic about the song ‘Why This Kolaveri D’ which went viral six years. The song was composed by Anirudh Ravichander for Dhanush’s film 3. Directed by Aishwarya Dhanush, the song was called the ‘soup song’, about a guy who sings about his failed love.
6 years of kolaveri di. Which marks 6 years of @anirudhofficial as well. Congratulations ani. Much more to come. ( still don’t understand why the song is what it is ) but super glad the song happened to us. Thank you all once again for it.

Actor Jai in Vadacurry Movie Stills

This movie is produced by Nitin Satya and Badri Kasturi under their banners Shvedh and Shraddha Entertainment respectively.

Robo Shankar, Danny, Siruthai Amith, Ilavarasu and Mime Gopi are also part of the cast.
Row over Nandi awards
Recommended
Post the announcement of Nandi Awards, Andhra Pradesh State Film Development Corporation (APSFDC) is under the radar for its selection of the jury after many in the industry alleged that they were biased as some of the good films were left out without a mention.
Popular lyricist also criticised the APSFDC for their biased attitude in selecting awards for writers. Lalita Bhaskarabhatlahas pointed out that Oka Lalana was not considered for the Nandi awards. Bhaskarabhatla Ravikumar is the only lyricist who was not considered for any award.
According to a report in Deccan Chronicle, Yarlagadda Ratnakumar, who is the chairman of Y Screens said that the jury did not select Rudrama Devi. “Such acts will discourage the industry from producing historical films which depict Telugu culture and history,” he said.
