sikandar sumanth surya

Box Office is going to be on fire on this long weekend. A couple of new releases are going to try their luck at the ticket windows. Suriya-Samantha’s Sikinder and Low Budget Rom-Com Lovers are the notable releases as far as Tollywood Box office is concerned. Sikinder is going to release big across the state with no big films around.

However, it is not going to be cakewalk for this mass masala film directed by super successful Linguswamy. It will face stiff competition from Lovers, which is carrying positive talk from the industry sources. It is a breezy entertainer with a hilarious second half, said our sources. Budding Comedian Sapthagiri is going to be the major asset for Lovers.

Sapthagiri’s role in this film is an extension to his highly successful character in Prema Katha Chitram. Maruthi who penned some of the hilarious scenes in PKC has come up with very good humor in Lovers too said the sources. We can’t look down on small films now as few movies like Run Raja Run have proved that they could do wonders at the box office with strong content. We have to wait and watch if Lovers could dent the prospects of Sikinder or not?

Recently released audio albums of Rabhasa and Power are slowly climbing up the charts. Thaman’s music is clicking with the masses and a song from each of these films is just rocking the charts. Interestingly those songs were sung by the lead actors themselves.

Rakasi Rakasi song rendered by NTR from Rabhasa is an instant hit in the album. This song is currently holding the top place in the most played songs in all the FM channels. But the dominance of Rakasi Rakasi song is being challenged by the Power song sung by Raviteja. Notanki Notanki song rendered by Mass Maharaja is super catchy and addicting.

It is interesting to see two of the popular actors fighting it out for the top place in different avatars as singers. Both the audio albums were scored by SS Thaman. NTR is not new to singing as he had sung more than couple of occasions in the past. This is entirely new for Raviteja who never tried his hand at singing. So who is the winner among these budding singers? It is hard to judge folks, it is a tie!

Sreedevi RGV

August 13, many senior citizens and youths are busy celebrating the birthday of a timeless diva, Sridevi. Even though she crossed her prime and not a starlet anymore, fans roll out red carpet for this sultry Tamil siren. On this occasion, we tried to find out where her hardcore lover and ardent fan is.

Cursing Boney Kapoor for snatching seductress Sridevi away from her, director Ram Gopal Varma has many times reciprocated his love for the ex-heroine. Also he used to use loads of cuss words to blast Boney, a couple of years back. Ramu explained how he worshiped Sridevi before becoming a director, and how he used to maintain proximity with her during shootings. Sri acted as leading lady of Ramu’s Kshana Kshanam and Govinda Govinda.

If one has to praise Sridevi, by the time we write a paragraph Ramu will write volumes of books on her eternal beauty. But the blazing gun has turned mute today, as there is no single tweet or any statement about her. Though he is active on twitter, there is no mentioning of the dream girl of his fantasies. What Ramu, is everything okay?

Clarity over Stylish Star’s latest movie is still playing hide and seeks in a dark room. Bunny confined himself to other part-time work all these days, but never had it looked like his elite assignment is taking off. After Gona Ganna Reddy and I’m That Change, he became teetotaler of work again.

Allu Arjun has been roaring in the skies with the grand success of ‘Race Gurram’ at box office, which had propelled him into the colossal league of 50 Crore Club stars. Basking in the glory, he took time to kick-start his next and affirmed that his immediate project will be helmed by magical writer Trivikram. At a time when fans are celebrating the reunion of Julayi combo, this flick failed to go on floors as supposed. causing huge embarrassment. The delay was blamed on Bunny’s guest role in Rudramadevi in the shoes of Ganna Reddy, a historical king and warrior related to Kakatiya Empire.

By the moment Rudramadevi work was wrapped up, Bunny moved his pawns to produce a short film, a message oriented one that is aimed at Independence Day. And there is not talk about his possible flick with Trivikram even now. Even after taking a gap of three months, Bunny is unable to start his next project, and only he has got answers for this missing piece.

Sumanth Ahwin

Exit of hero Siddharth from Tollywood has been dramatic and the position of lover boy hero became vacant then. After the likes of Uday Kiran and Tarun, Siddu stood on top of game for a while, but later he too has fallen miserably. Then who is the new age lover boy of Tollywood?

Among the bunch of star heroes we have, almost all are trying their hand at every possible subject. So we can’t limit them to one particular genre and flag with lover boy tag. However, producer MS Raju’s son Sumanth Ashwin came from nowhere for a tango on silver screen. He proved mettle with films like Anthaku Mundu Aah Taruvata and his latest ‘Lovers’ is hitting screens this independence day. The young chap is not hustling but still this flick is a litmus test for him to hold the trophy.

Directed by newcomer Harinath, ‘Lovers’ is backed by talented Maruthi who penned story and dialogues for the flick. As the film is releasing on a long weekend, Sumanth Ashwin will have good time to prove the mettle. Also his heroine Nanditha too enjoys huge popularity as native Telugu heroine with splashing charms. Wish them luck folks!

Mahesh Waved Green Flag For Him?

Signing Koratala Siva is a biggest jolt to people who never believed that Mahesh Babu also wants to star in mass-masala flicks. With the principle shooting of this flick getting ready for a start in no time, many are wondering if Superstar is ready to pick another sensation mass director too.

From Chiranjeevi to Charan, Venkatesh to Prabhas and Nitin to Srinivas, every hero got a decent hit under V V Vinayak’s direction. Being a patron of mass films, Vinayak has zeal to adorn Telugu star-heroes as never seen before mass-gods and he often succeeds. He is right now busy with Megastar’s 150th flick, but is also jotting ideas about another sensational project. Some folks mentioned that Vinayak is all set to direct Mahesh Babu, when the latter wraps his next with Koratala siva. As our prince is mulling over the idea of shaping career as a mass hero, he has waved green flag for the mega director.

V V Vinayak is the only mass action director who didn’t worked with Mahesh Babu apart from Rajamouli. Other top directors like Sreenu Vytla and Trivikram Srinivas have already accomplished their mission with Superstar. So let us see if this Vinayak rumour holds good in Mahesh’s case.

Who Will Employ That Job To Charan?

‘Govindudu Andarivadele’ realized his dream of starring in a complete family drama that is in contrast with his mass-image. Mega Powerstar Ram Charan has that big list of to-do things and we wonder who will employ him with his favorite job.

As he has some nightmares already with it, the young Megastar wants someone who could do the task in most convincing way. Ram Charan’s dream is to score big with Khaki dress but definitely Zanjeer has spoiled the party. Critics across the country have panned the flick as a disaster and also wrote off Charan as an actor.

After pouring hard efforts for months, if result is not fruitful then any actor will feel bad. Same is the case with our mega hero too. Reportedly he is contemplating the idea of playing police officer of Telugu silver screen, but waiting for right director to let him play the game perfectly.

Directors like Rajamouli, Puri Jagan and Sreenu Vytla have successfully directed movies whose central character calls the shots in khaki dress. And others like Vinayak and Trivikram are yet to experiment with police offer roles. Let us see who will first offer Charan his dream role.

Commerce Lessons Needed For Gunasekhar

Share

Carving out the flick is less important these days as marketing it and creating a brand of it became bigger headaches. Only if a director keeps tab on the trade and pinches them on right occasions, his film will get enormous attention and business.

Contrary to what he should do, director Gunasekhar is not worried about the commerce of Rudramadevi 3D. at a time when similar fantatsy movies of Rajamouli, say Baahubali, are creating records with their sales, Gunasekahr is yet to open gates for his games. There is neither making video, nor any teaser to turn attention of trace circles towards the medieval historical drama.

If Guna is yet to discern the know-how between selling and buying, what would he do with Rudramadevi in the end? Should he first go and take lessons related to commerce, marketing and hype-building? Yes is the only answer. Definitely our director should buckle up shoes to start some start of promotions for Rudramadevi.

One look at Anjaan/Sikander, and everyone starts raving about Chennai siren Samantha’s scintillating skin shows. Especially she has turned quite mass for a song where she is seen sporting unbuttoned shirts and hot pants. Makers of the movie are now making the best of this tempting song.

Full version video of ‘Ek Do Theen Chaar’ song from Sikander was released the other day. People who have visited this on YouTube are spelling that it’s Samantha’s trendy looks and ‘naatu’ dances al the way. Other surprise is that this song features vocals of none other than Surya in Tamil, while talented Raghu Kunche has crooned for Telugu version. The song starts on a slower note, has enough beats for mass-steps and pours loads of romance into each lyric.

Sikander is due for release this Friday on the eve of Independence Day, and Samantha is expecting a lot from this Linguswamy directorial as she wants to re-enter Tamil filmdom with a bang. Undoubtedly Sam’s glamour show will pay off big and we have to see how movie fares at box office.

Composer Reacts On Aagadu controversy

Who copied whom and who scored first are the two questions boggling the minds of cinema lovers. As rumors erupted that Thaman copied background score of Aagadu from Malayali flick Avataram, the only way to douse them off is by making the persons involved speak. Otherwise the plagiarism talks holds true at some corners.

Music director Deepak Dev, who scored for Avataram, confirms that his editor has used the sound track of Aagadu as a dummy scoring for the trailer. He revealed that his editor has used that track from online and he doesn’t even know that it is background score of Mahesh Babu’s Aagadu. ‘I’ve not even composed BG score for Avataram yet. Being an enthusiast, our editor used already available tracks online including Aagadu music, to cut the trailer. I’m now aware of it’, says Deepak.

Fans wars have turned ugly with some standing on side of Thaman and others lambasted him with bitter words on social circuits. This is just a trivial thing, but fans overreacted and finally the Mallu music director’s clarity lays rest to every controversy surrounding Aagadu.

The never ending Flop Saga!

Varun Sandesh’s hopes of putting a break to his flop streak have gone down the drain the yet again. His recent release ‘Nuvvala Nenila’ has gone unnoticed. It was among the three small releases that have seen light on last weekend. Nuvvala Nenila managed to get less than ten theaters in Hyderabad while Geetanjali and Gaalipatam got more than twenty.

Mainstream critics didn’t even find Nuvvala Nenila worthy of a review. Varun Sandesh’s career is going downhill with each film and it would be very hard for him to get back in business. He needs some big producers or big directors to show faith in him. Doing small films like Nuvvala Nenila wouldn’t do any good for his sinking career.

Varun still has a couple of films on hand, but he cannot get new offers if this flop saga continues. He was once among the favorite actors of top filmmakers. Now he is topping the list of super flop heroes of this generation. Tough luck Varun!

Superb planning by Junior Raviteja

Young actor Nikhil is known as poor man’s Raviteja. Being a great fan of Mass Maharaja, Nikhil tries to imitate his idol in most of the scenes. He is the only one who is still hanging in there among the Happy Days lot. A lot of this credit should go to his planning. Despite not having any God Fathers or mentors in film industry, Nikhil is going great guns all because of his superb planning.

He made some right choices to become what he is now. After scoring a big hit with Swamy Rara, Nikhil played the waiting game rather trying to cash upon the success. He did a thriller called Karthikeya, which is carrying very good reports among the film circles. He didn’t even sign up for Swamy Rara sequel although he is in good terms with the makers of that film.

Nikhil has signed up for a romantic comedy titled Surya vs Surya after rejecting so many scripts. Karthikeya is due for release on August 22nd. Nikhil is carefully climbing up the ladder and not in a hurry to reach the top. He is aware of the fact that losing grip at this point would push him down, very down!
