The latest reports about Prabhas's period film 'Bahubali' are prompting the movie lovers to expect action episodes on par with the Hollywood films like 'Troy', '300' and 'Gladiator'.

Reliable sources confirm, the storyline and the war sequences of Bahubali have been designed based on the Kurukshetra war of epic Mahabharata, which is a dynasty succession exercise between two groups of cousins for the throne of Hastinapura. It is being said as many as 18 Akshauhinis will be used for the movie.

As per the Mahabharata, an Akshauhini was an ancient battle formation that consists of 21,870 chariots; 21,870 elephants; 65,610 cavalry (soldiers fighting on horse back) and 109,350 infantry (solders fighting on foot). It's almost impossible to shoot scenes with 18 Akshauhinis, So Rajamouli might be taking the help of visual effects for these war-field episodes.

Bahubali will go on floors in July this year and the entire shooting would be wrapped up by the end of 2014. Rajamouli is making sure every rupee of Rs 100 crore that would be spent on the film will appear on the screen. That's the major reason for several months of pre-production work!

Please don't jump into any conclusions reading the title! All we are talking about is the love of the actress for the Numero Uno Actor's work.

“Schedule over. Woo hoo! Talkie done. Only one more schedule abroad. I really love working with Trivikram and Pawan Kalyan. There was no shortage of laughter that's for sure. If the result of this film has anything to do with how much we enjoyed making this film," opined the actress.

Going by the but feel of Samantha, Atharintiki Daredi is going to be a laugh riot and will be a feast for the audience for sure. Pawan's comic timing and Trivikram's one liners will tickle the funny bones of audience to set the cash registers ringing.

The actress took a break from her shooting schedules and currently resting at home. "Over-sized T-shirt and shorts, mangoes in one hand and the TV remote in the other. Absolutely no plan to move off my bed. This is how it's done," she reveals.

It is known that Kajal Agarwal has hiked her remuneration and because of this reason none of the Tollywood biggies have been ready to offer her a role. She even lost the opportunity to pair opposite Pawan Kalyan in the sequel of Gabbar Singh.

However, the actress has no regrets what-so-ever and send the indication clear that she will not sign any film for less than Rs 1.5 crore. What made Kajal to be so firm about money matters?

Off late, Kajal has been inclining more towards Hindi films and the bilinguals made down South as the makers of these films have no qualms to pay her Rs 1.5 crore due to more reach. She is currently working for two bilingual films 'All In All Azhagu Raja' opposite Karthi and 'Jilla' opposite Vijay. While Karthi has a good market in both Tamilnadu and Andhra, Vijay is a big name in Tamilnadu apart from having a good fan following in Karnataka and Kerala. The recent hit 'Thupakki' opened doors for him in Tollywood as well.

On the other hand, Kajal's next will be opposite Kamal Haasan. Need less to say, the power of this legendary actor and the reach of his films.

Clearly, Kajal is following a formula here. By acting in one film, she is reaching out to the audience of multiple languages. This hottie is an example of Beauty With Brains!

Rumors have been abuzz that Samantha is going to tie the nuptial knot with her longtime boyfriend Siddharth. However, the actress wants to put the marriage plans on hold for sometime as the two actors were extremely busy with their film assignments at the moment.

"A big FULL STOP only because I need two of us to take up more work. So, Marriage rumors take a break until further notice from me," commented the actress.

Here, Sam knowingly or unknowingly confirmed two things - 1) She is in love with Sid; 2) Marriage is on the cards but not going to happen this year.

On the film front, Samantha made it clear she isn't going to sign any new projects in 2013 as her hands are full. She is currently shooting for Pawan-Trivikram's Atharintiki Daredi and NTR-Harish Shankar's Rabasa. In June, she will be joining the shoots of Akkineni multistarrer Manam and NTR-Santhosh Srinivas's Rabasa. The shoots of Suriya-Lingusamy flick and Vinayak-Bellamkonda's Son debut movie would start in August this year.

As Samantha needs at least an year to wrap up the shoots of the protects she has signed, the big fat wedding might happen only in the second half of 2014.
