Star heroine Samantha has scored a big blockbuster for the first time with the female-oriented film Oh Baby. The film has collected more than Rs. 40 crores at the box office and proved that stamina of Samantha’s stardom. Currently, the actress is boosted up to do many such movies.

Meanwhile, Telangana’s governor ESL Narasimhan has watched the movie last night along with his family members. The makers of Oh Baby organized a special screening to Narasimhan at Ramanaidu Studios. The governor enjoyed the film throughout and appreciated the efforts of the whole team.

Director Nandini Reddy was also present at the screening. The whole team members were elated by the appreciation of the governor. Oh Baby features Naga Shaurya, Teja, Rajendra Prasad and Rao Ramesh in the other prominent roles. Mickey J Meyer has composed the music for it.

With the stupendous success of Oh Baby, Samantha has proved that she can pull off a hit without the presence of any star hero. The film has collected around Rs. 40 crores and made Samantha a female superstar in Tollywood. She is now the only heroine after Nayanthara and Anushka, who can pull off blockbusters on their shoulders.

We hear that Samantha also hiked her remuneration after the success of Oh Baby. Apparently, she is now charging about Rs.2 crores per film, which is very high. No other heroine in Tollywood gets that much pay for a single film. Even Producers are willing to pay her the quoted amount.

That proves the stardom of Samantha in the industry right now. Currently, she is in talks for a couple of other female-oriented projects. One of them will be directed by Oh Baby’s director, Nandini Reddy.

Young hero Vijay Devarakonda is currently busy with two big projects on hand. One is NOTA which is bilingual in the direction of Anand Shankar and the other one is Dear Comrade which is in the direction of Bharat Kamma. Both the projects are progressing at a brisk pace. Meanwhile, the hero has given the green signal for a new project in the production of Vyjayanthi Movies.

Nandini Reddy is the director of the movie and the regular shoot of the movie is going to begin soon. The buzz is that the project was supposed to begin longtime back which did not happen. The film will reveal a new angle in Vijay Devarakonda with the film. The complete details about the project along with the official announcement will be out soon.

Post ‘Pelli Choopulu’ hero Vijay Deverakonda is getting flooded with offers. There are rumors that he is going to star in a film to be directed by Puri Jagannadh. At the same time, we also hear that the hero might also be seen in Pawan Kalyan’s next film. This has been an interesting phase of career for the young hero. Meanwhile, the buzz states that Vijay Devarakonda has two films in hand, and fresh report suggests that he had given his consent to work with lady director, Nandini Reddy.

Nandini Reddy recently scored a hit with the love story, ‘Kalyana Vaibhogame’ This new film will also star Kalyana Vaibhogame fame Malavika Nair in the female lead role. The complete details about the film are expected to be out soon!

Nandini Reddy, who made her directional debut with the film Ala Modalaindi, did not have a great career in the film industry. Her second film Jabardasth is a big failure. But after taking a gap, she bounced back with ‘Kalyana Vaibhogame’ earlier this year. The film stars Naga Shaurya and Malavika Nair in the lead roles. Even after tasting a hit, she is finding it hard to get an actor for her next film. If the ongoing buzz in the industry is believed to be true, she is all set to team up with Nithin.

Apparently, Nithin who had the narration from the director liked the story line and asked her to develop it. Nandini Reddy is nearing the completion of script work and once she is done with that, Nithiin will have a final narration of the final draft. Most likely the film will happen by the end of this year. One last hurdle for the director to get the project approved. More details are awaited.
