Priyanka Chopra who turned producer with her&nbsp; production house Purple Pebble Pictures, speaking to scribes shared her experiences during the initial days in Bollywood.\r\nShe said&nbsp; \"I didn\'t know why I was gravitating towards filmmakers and stories that were maybe marginalised or told that they\'re not what is expected. As I\'m talking about it, I think it does come from the fact that when I joined the industry, I didn\'t have it. I was trying to navigate this crazy movie industry by myself with my parents, who were doctors and who also had no idea about the business. And I kind of felt really lost.&rdquo;\r\nSharing her experience as the producer,she said&nbsp; \"As a producer, I\'m empathetic, and our ethos is a lot around wanting to give opportunities to newer filmmakers or filmmakers that want to achieve something that they haven\'t been able to or are kind of hitting a wall somewhere. My production side kind of comes from what personally moves me,\"&nbsp;

Chaitra J Achar speaking to scribes shared her feelings on Prabhas and about the film Fauzi. She said &ldquo;The filming has begun on a very interesting note,&rdquo; She added&nbsp; &ldquo;Being part of Fauzi is important on a couple of levels. I get to work in a big film, and working with Prabhas itself is a great learning experience. I want to understand how huge productions function, the rhythm of the set, the craft, and the attention to detail that goes into making a film of this scale. I am excited about the role because it is key to the story. Big or small does not matter to me. What matters is the world the film builds, and on that front, Fauzi is on another level.&rdquo;

About Prabhas,she said &ldquo;Apparently, the director had already shown him a few of my shots. So when I introduced myself, he said that he'd already seen some clips of my work and found them interesting. Although he is very shy, I made sure to tell him that I am a huge fan of his film Mirchi and that I have watched it at least 25 times. That was our initial conversation, and I hope I get to talk to him more as the shoot progresses.&rdquo;

AP DY CM, Power Star Pawan Kalyan landed in unnecessary conntroversy when he blamed the evil eye of Telangana people for the crop loss of the people in Konaseema region in Andhra Pradesh.\r\nFollowing this, political leaders and parties in Telangana warned that if Pawan Kalyann does not apologise then they would ban his films. Sources say if Telangana bans Pawan Kalyan\'s films it will surely impact him.\r\nTelangana Cinematography Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy thundered &ldquo;If Pawan Kalyan does not tender an unconditional apology, his movies will not be permitted to be screened anywhere in Telangana,&rdquo; and added &ldquo;It is not Telangana&rsquo;s evil eye; in fact, under Andhra leaders&rsquo; rule, our people had to drink fluoride water for 60 years.&rdquo;\r\nT Prasanna Kumar, general secretary of the Telugu Film Producers Council says . &ldquo;I wish Telangana politicians don&rsquo;t mix up Pawan Kalyan&rsquo;s political statement with his movies since they are two different zones,&rdquo; and added &ldquo;Pawan Kalyan has the biggest market in Telangana and has delivered record-breaking hits like Tholi Prema, Kushi, Atharintiki Dharedi, and even his recent film OG collected over Rs 40 crore in Telangana state,&rdquo;\r\nHe says &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know the context, but political views should not curb his film career, which has been strong for the last two decades, barring a few duds,&rdquo;&nbsp; He analyses &ldquo;Nizam collections are key for producers to recover their investments. Telangana alone, with over 500 theatres, contributes 40 percent of the overall revenues in the Telugu states,&rdquo; and notes\" Pawan Kalyan has consistently outperformed many contemporaries in Telangana, appealing to audiences across castes and communities and achieving a numero uno status in the region.\"\r\nA distributor says &ldquo;Chiranjeevi&rsquo;s Praja Rajyam won only two seats from Telangana in 2009, but his son Ram Charan&rsquo;s Magadheera, which released just months later, smashed records and collected more than Rs 22 crore share in the region. Telangana people have clearly separated politics from movies, and I hope Telangana politicians do the same,&rdquo;
