'Ranga Panduranga' is going to be a bilingual and Balakrishna is expected to don the role of Lord Krishna in both the Telugu and Tamil version.

He loves hits, he hates flops
We have seen some stars maintaining that though some of their films flopped at the BO they are one of their favourite films. On one occasion, Chiranjeevi mentioned that 'Rudraveena' which failed at the BO, was one of his best films. In contrast, Mahesh Babu said he liked all his hit films. Did it mean that he doesn’t like his flop films. "Naturally," said the Prince, and adds, "If I say that I like my flop films also, then people may think that something is wrong with me," in his trademark style. It seems that Mahesh is going the fans way and has become practical. He is currently brand ambassador for Thums Up (it was Megastar Chiranjeevi earlier). Is Mahesh going to be next the superstar after Chiru? "No one can replace him," is what Mahesh Babu could say at the recent promotional campaign of the beverage brand.
Is charming Charmme in love?
If we go by the hearsay of the Film Nagar circles, the buzz is that something is going on between music director Devi Sri Prasad and actress Charmme. The composer is believed to be neck-deep in love with Charmme. When asked about it, he said there was nothing like that. And the actress maintained that she was in love with Tollwood, while speaking to the media on the occasion of her birthday on May 17. "The media is marrying me off to somebody even without my knowledge," said the charming Charmme. When asked about her age, to the amusement of all, Charmme said she was just 18. The actress maintains that marriage is not on the cards. She is doing a Telugu film titled 'Mantra' and has signed a couple of Kannada films. She signed off asserting that Tollywood was her first priority and that she wants to act with the Megastar.
A political bonding
Chandrababu Naidu’s son, Lokesh, and Nandamuri Balakrishna’s daughter, Brahmani, are going to tie the knot in August. The two are said to have got engaged last month. Lokesh is currently pursuing his higher studies in the US while Brahmani is pursuing her engineering. This way these two families are strengthening their ties which were severed after Chandrababu Naidu back-stabbed his father-in-law NTR to become Chief Minister in 1995. Balakrishna’s sister Bhuvaneswari Devi is married to Chandrababu
Naidu.
