Hero Nani seems to be on cloud nine after the success of 'Ala Modhalaindi'. Sources say his tantrums are sky high now and producers are suffering because of his arrogance. Nani is currently doing 'Eega' with S S Rajamouli as the director. Besides he has the bi-lingual film 'Sega' ready for release.

Before 'Ala Modalaindi' released, he had signed 'Pilla Zamindar' which stars Bindu Madhavi and Haripriya. The movie was launched in October 2010. He also shot for the first schedule of  this film at Guntur in February this year. However, now he says he is busy with big films and is refusing to give dates. About 70 percent of the film has been shot and if Nani gives dates, the rest of the shooting could be complete. The movie was originally slated to release in April.

The movie is produced by D S Rao who made films like 'Kalavar King' and directed by Ashok the director of 'Aakasha Ramanna'.

"Success has got on to his head. He can't trouble producers like this just because they are small producers. There is nothing wrong in giving priority to big director but it doesn't mean he delays his commitments. He doesn't even respond to our calls" a film crew said.

The film unit is miffed with Nani's behaviour and his priority to bigger banners and directors. A few film makers have suggested the producer to lodge a complaint on the actor with the Movie Artistes' Association.

We always try to encourage the talent and when he narrated us a novel storyline which is very interesting. We all impressed with it and gave him a go ahead.

Naga Chaitanya and Tamannah starrer '100% Love' is all set to be remade in Hindi. Sources close to the film claim that talks are on between the director and Bollywood heroes on its remake. Though we are not sure which hero might be roped in to do the role of 'Balu' played by Naga Chaitanya, we hear that Sukumar himself will direct this movie in Hindi also.

Sources say it could either be Ranbir Kapoor or Imran Khan who could do this film in Hindi. "The news is not confirmed yet. But yes the talks are on" Sukumar is believed to have told media when contacted.

This movie joins the long list of Telugu films that are being remade into Hindi now. 'Ready' of Ram, 'Kick' of Raviteja are being remade into Hindi and Salman Khan is starring in it. We also got to know that writer Kona Venkat's script impressed Bollywood studman Salman Khan and he might tweak the story a bit and do it in Hindi soon.

Director Sukumar hit the bull's eye with '100% Love'. The movie turned out to be a major hit. Now we hear that he might direct a movie with Mahesh Babu as the hero. Though the details of the film are not known, we hear that he narrated a story to Mahesh and the star is mightily impressed with it.

Meanwhile, there are speculations that Sukumar might even direct the Hindi remake of 100 % Love soon.

Mahesh Babu is currently shooting for Srinu Vytla's 'Dhookudu'. This movie starring Samantha is being shot abroad now and is slated for July release.

"Talks are on between Mahesh and Sukumar. Mahesh hasn't signed any film after 'Dhookudu'. He was supposed to start shooting for Maniratnam project but that got shelved now. Sukumar's project could be the one" a source informs.

Let us wait and see if Sukumar will be able to do a film with Mahesh at all.
