Charan and Mahesh to lock horns over a teaser

Share

untitled

Are Ram Charan and Mahesh Babu going to lock horns again? If the way things are planned, go according to plan then that is what we are going to see pretty soon. News from Charan’s Govindudu Andari Vadele set is that the teaser of the film which was postponed in the last minute a week back will now be showcased on evening of August 7th. So where does Mahesh Babu fit into this? Well, we all know that the second teaser of the stars film would be released exactly at midnight on the star’s birthday which means on night of August 8.

As one see these two teasers will be released back to back and will once again put both these stars in direct competition with one another. The box office revelry between these two stars has been going on for some time now what with the actor’s clashing with each other on two occasions prior to this. This is of course literally a tease as the real showdown is slated to happen for Dushera when both the films will be arriving in a week’s gap. The thing to observe this time though is that it is Ram Charan who is coming with risky venture unlike the last two occasions where Mahesh Babu was coming with non massy movies. Can he hold onto competition this time as well?

Rabhasa rabhasa on Rabhasa release date

Like we said yesterday, there will be lots of twist and turns on the release date of Young Tiger NTR starrer Rabhasa. The film’s unit is not sure about completing the work on time and this is the main reason for postponement. But there were rumors that this could be avoided with slop shoddy post production work and the film can be ready for release on time. Now we have another addition to the one above that could lead to further postponement.

It seems that the top distributors distributing the film don’t want it to release in competition. They will not get required screens for record release, is the reason they cite. With no record release a biggie like Rabhasa could lose substantial revenue in the opening week is what they collectively feel. Now if the film were to release later they wouldn’t be having such problems and a record release is assured. The latest date that is being heard in distribution circles is August 29. But rest assured the issue is far from getting over and we might be hearing further interesting info about the release of the film soon.

Kajal has no dates for Jr NTR

Heroine Kajal is a busy actress with multiple films in her hand most of the time. So when one of her projects gets derailed it has repercussion on other tentative projects of her as well. We can see something similar happening now. Kajal is the heroine in the film Govindudu Andari Vadele paired opposite Ram Charan. The film as we know has been postponed few times in the last few months and its schedules have been readjusted from time to time.

What has that rescheduling done is that, the actress is now short on dates to accommodate the upcoming film of Jr NTR to be made by Puri Jagannadh. Even this film was expected to go on floors by now but has been postponed due to the actor’s unavailability. But since its one film at a time for the actor, he could manage it by working nonstop which is not the case with Kajal and hence the doubt over her agreeing to do the film. Bulk dates of heroine are required for the film and currently the modalities are being worked out with Kajal. If things don’t pan out as expected, a new heroine will replace her soon.

Small Hero creates Headache for NTR

Run Raja Run is turning out to be the biggest surprise hit of the year. Run Raja Run is getting tremendous response from all sections of audience and is going from strength to strength. This film is believed to have a very long run at the box office. Distributors are increasing the number of theaters and are expected to make handsome profits on the movie.

Sharwanand’s Run Raja Run success is putting pressure upon the big release Rabhasa as it may not get many theaters if it sticks for August 15th release. Alludu Seenu is still holding well in B and C centers and the buyers of that movie are reluctant to replace the film on August 15. Buyers of Run Raja Run and Alludu Seenu are expecting to get huge shares during the long weekend that follows Independence Day.

If Rabhasa makers are hell bent on releasing the movie on Independence Day, then they will have to settle for less number of theaters. Dil Raju reportedly met NTR to suggest him to go for Vinayaka Chaturthi release. NTR and Bellamkonda Suresh are discussing about the pros and cons of releasing Rabhasa on Aug 15. Even the post production work of Rabhasa isn’t complete yet.

Nitin, who has been a roll these days, is all set to rock with yet another romantic comedy. Karunakaran who is known for making best romantic films in Tollywood, is directing this film. After considering many titles for this film, the unit has finally zeroed in on “Chinnadana Nee Kosam”.

Nitin is getting best titles for his films in recent times. Chinnadana Naa Kosam is a pleasant and very catchy title that sets right expectations on the film. After Ishq, Gunde Jaari Gallantayyinde and Heart Attack, Nitin succeeded in getting an apt title for his film.

Karunakaran had a setback with his previous film Endukante Premanta bombing at the box office. He took so much time to pen the script for Chinnadana Nee Kosam. Nitin is extremely confident about the subject. He believes that this film would do as good as Ishq and GJG did.

As the film turned out to be a phenomenal success at box office, even our Junior Superstar is not much worried about the happenings. Superstar Rajni’s son-in-law, Jr Superstar Danush, the self-styled hero of Kollywood has to face the axe of law. The posters of his latest movie ‘Vela Illai Pattadhari’ are ripped into pieces now. Check this story.

Danush’s latest movie VIP Is a smashing hit at box office and the run is continuing very fruitful even in third week. However, Danush has portrayed smoking a cigarette wildly on the release posters of the movie. According to Tobacco Control Board’s guidelines, scenes and pictures related to smoking couldn’t be used for posters, while inside the movie they should be displayed with a warning slogan imprinted over them. Authorities found out that Danush’s VIP posters are not adhering to guidelines after receiving a complaint from Anti Tobacco Organisation of Tamilnadu.

Reacting on this, TN government ordered the producer to rip the posters off from walls immediately. Jr Superstar Danush is not only hero of this flick but he himself produced the movie under his Wunderbaar Films banner. He has made his mind to get the posters ripped into pieces to invite no further troubles.

Mahesh Babu missed out on Triple Role!

Superstar Mahesh Babu is always game for experimenting with genres and characters. Director Vikram Kumar of Manam fame thought that Mahesh would readily accept to play triple role in his film. However Mahesh Babu felt that it may not suit for him as he will have to look old for one of those three characters.

Mahesh has reportedly asked Vikram Kumar to come up with a romantic entertainer and rejected the subject in which he had to play triple roles. Vikram Kumar narrated the same subject to Tamil actor Surya and he lapped up the opportunity immediately. Suriya always likes to don different getups and it is a dream for him to play triple role.

Vikram Kumar is also producing this bilingual film which will start rolling shortly. Other cast and crew members are being finalized now. We missed a rare chance of watching Mahesh Babu in three different characters. Hope Mahesh would do something similar in the future.

Father’s Dream Comes True

Top producers Bellamkonda dream to make his son Srinivas a star seems to have come true as ‘Allu Seenu’ expected to garner more than 20-odd crores and to give stardom to debutant actor.

Even though, industry bigwigs found fault with Bellamkonda for spending more than 30 crores for his son, but he proved all of them wrong and got his son, instant recognition and saleable too. With unprecedented publicity campaign, producer is expected to get around 10 crores from Nizam, 10 crores from Seemandhra and 3 crore plus from Ceded, on par with an establish T-town star.

What M S Raju, Suresh babu and Ravi Kishore, couldn’t do, with their sons Sumanth Ashwin, Rana and Ram, Bellamkonda’s gamble paid off and the reason behind leading directors like Boyapati and Surender Reddy showing interest is too obvious.

Telugu heroine Anjali’s latest director Raj Kiran, whose debut flick ‘Geethanjali’ is getting ready to hit screens this Friday, suffered a massive heart attack today, says media reports. He is rushed immediately to a nearby private hospital in Mehdipatnam for treatment. Raj Kiran’s health condition is still unknown and we have to wait for reports from doctors.

A native of Krishna district’s Kaikaluru, Raj Kiran worked with many directors as an associate and co-director. Finally he turned director with Kona Venkat’s horror comedy Geethanjali that is due for release on August 8th. It is quite unfortunate that an youngster like Raj Kiran has suffered heart attack, and probably it is due to the pressure of his first flick’s release and expectations about the result. Hope everything will be fine.

Balayya Found New Lucky Charm?

balayya

For some time it is Simran, then it is Nayantara. Both these ladies are considered as lucky charms by hero Nandamuri Nandamuri Balakrishna. But frankly speaking the presence of these ladies worked only in a couple of flicks, and there are utter flops too when they joined him.

However, still people say that these hot ladies are his pasty lucky charms and here is a latest one. After sizzling with Balayya in the movie ‘Legend’, actress Radhika Apte is all to set to pair with him once again. We hear that in the upcoming ‘Godse’, Radhika will be playing a second lead, of course a flash-back girl. Godse (tentative title) is being directed by newcomer Satyadev and features Balakrishna and Trisha in the leads.

This is almost an acid test for Trisha who lost her ground in Tollywood. And now that Radhika Apte got second chance with this flick, she too would be expecting positive for her career. We can say who is lucky charm only after the movies release.

Naga Chaitanya tried too hard to become a mass hero despite being successful with romantic films. Chaitanya’s attempt to woo the masses has gone wrong with Autonagar Surya and now the actor has a very clear mindset about what to do and what not to. Chaitanya is sticking to romantic films and light hearted entertainers now.

Naga Chaitanya has rejected few stories that are targeted at the mass audience. He is extremely successful with romantic films and a certain section of audience has accepted him. His films are doing well in A centers and appeal to the youngsters. So Chaitanya decided to put mass films aside and stick with romantic films.

His upcoming film Oka Laila Kosam is already making good buzz among the film circles and looks like another minimum guarantee film from the Yuva Samrat. Chaitanya’s next film is directed by Swamy Rara fame Sudheer Varma. It is a romantic thriller with ample entertainment. Chaitanya is on the right track at the moment and his fans are very happy to see him recognize his strengths.

Even though, momentum for separate bodies for Telangana are moving in fast pace but two leading new-generation directors Harish Shankar and Vamsi Paidipally are not actively participating in the meetings, held by Telangana directors guild even yesterday.

Probably, these two directors who are in the big league, doesn’t want to annoy top producers and superstars, who hail from Seemandhra, so skipping the Telangana-centric efforts. Or truly are their busy with their work, as they reportedly informed organisers. Barring seasoned directors, new-generation directors are keeping out of this Telangana movement, hoping that they would be sidelined by Seemandhra producers, who are known for their big money bags.

Nevertheless, with KCR determined to protect the interest of Telangana film fraternity, these reluctant directors may join the stream, if things fall in place, lets wait and see, how long these directors keep away.

Top actress refuses pay cut?

tammana

No doubt, actress Tammanah is in no mood to cut down her endorsement money, even after debacle called ‘Humshakals’ and has reportdly quoted Rs. 80 lakhs to promote a city-mall South Indian Shopping Mall.

Usually, top actresses like Kaajal, Samantha and Trisha were content and endorsed retail brands for 40 lakhs, but Tamannah has doubled her pay packet, since she claims that her is popularity is pan-India since her next Hindi film with Akshay ‘Entertainment’ has created lot of buzz. ‘No doubt, she has huge following in Andhra and Tamilnadu but yet to establish herself in Bollywood’, so mall is in a dilemma to pay her or not’ says a source.

Earlier, Tammanah had managers to negotiate such deals, but now her family members handling that job and are unwilling to reduce their demands. Lets see, how things shape up.

Massive upset on cards for Rabhasa?

Is there a massive upset lurking in near future for Rabhasa? The latest buzz in the industry suggests so. It is being said that the unit will find it extremely difficult to finish its post production activities on time for a release on August 15, a date which the makers are targeting at. If this turns out to be true we are looking at the film getting postponed by couple of weeks at least.

The only way, sources say, the makers can make it to the date, if they are so hell bent on its Independence Day release, is to release the film with half baked post production. Complete whatever post production work that needs to be completed in a hurry without taking care of quality then the film can arrive on time. In the past makers of Oosaravelli adopted a similar path to release the film at any cost for Dushera festival. We all know how the final result of the film turned out to be. Can Jr NTR and makers take such risk again considering the big prices paid by the distributors?

Director Goutham Menon terminated his assistant director for leaking the death news of Trisha on Facebook. You might be quite shocked to read the previous line. Coming to the actual point, Trisha is presently shooting for a Tamil movie opposite Ajith. She is playing his wife and Anushka is the main female lead for the film ‘Thala 55′. This is the fourth time Trisha is romancing Ajith.

Approximately a month ago, Goutham Menon’s assistant director of the movie leaked online that Trisha is playing Ajith’s wife and she will get killed in day light when she is driving a car on E.C.R road. This news shocked the audience. Who are the killers and why did they kill her? Ajith and Anushka investigate the murder and try to find the killer.

This is the outline of the story of ‘Thala 55′ starring Ajith, Anushka and Trisha. After leaking the news, obviously the asst. director got fired. At present, Trisha is shooting for the film and many doubts are surfacing if her character remains the same after the story had been leaked out. Did Goutham make any changes to the story line?

Ever since Manam released to stupendous response both critically and commercially, the director of the film Vikram Kumar has been flooded with offers from every camp in Telugu cinema. Even the director had enthusiastically met and narrated stories to many of these actor’s which lead to various rumors about the director’s new film. From Ram Charan to Allu Arjun to Mahesh Babu everyone was associated with the director at one point of time to do a film in near future.

Aagadu Vs Gabbar Singh – What a Coincidence?!

Share

aagadu - gabbarsingh

Ever since Aagadu’s first teaser was released, there are comparisons being made with another super hit blockbuster of the past. Generally such comparisons die in time, but here they are heaping upon day by day. Check this out.

There are lot of similarities being seen and heard about Power Star’s blockbuster movie Gabbar Singh and Superstar’s upcoming flick Aagadu. A look at the teaser of Mahesh Babu’s movie reveals that the ‘belt’ idea was an exact Xerox copy of Gabbar Singh. And then many stated that there are scenes resembling Antyakshari scene and Kabaddi fight scene in the flick. Traces of such Gabbar Singh scenes could be noticed in Aagadu teaser. And today milky beauty Tamanna made another interesting revelation about her character.

Unlike rumours that she will be seen in a lady cop avatar, Tamanna stated that she is playing a village belle who runs a small sweet shop. Well, this is what we call a coincidence. Even Shruti Haasan plays a village belle who runs a gift shop in Gabbar Singh.  Guess what Srinu Vytla is coming up now?

Industry Folks Not Excited With Rabhasa?

Share

Jr-NTR-Rabhasa

Theatrical trailer of Jr NTR’s latest movie ‘Rabhasa’ has created a never before excitement for Nandamuri fans, but it seems like film industry folks are not as excited as fans. All their expectations are not met either by the trailer or the audio album. Check this story.

Fans got connected with NTR’s punch dialogues and high octane fights, but film critics are feeling that ‘Rabhasa’ trailer is full of violence but no substance. Also the story, emotional scenes and characterizations are looking pretty much familiar with previous mass-entertainers delivered by the Nandamuri hero. Industry folks felt that NTR has chosen a safe-path of five songs, four fights and four comedy sequences format to score a hit. Also Thaman’s songs are not instant hit with music lovers except for the one sung by Jr NTR. Of course Thaman’s song click well once they are watched on silver screen and heard along with visual. But for now, industry folks are not quite excited with Rabhasa.

Directed by Santosh Srinivas of Kandireega fame, Rabhasa is a fully loaded mass entertainer with every ingredient stuffed in for all sections of audiences. Undoubtedly the film is going to be a money spinner if we have to go by the hype, irrespective of what film critics think. Let us see.

Can Seenu Prove Charan and NTR Wrong?

boyapati bellamkonda

New kid on the block, Alludu Seenu has already stunned with his powerful presence at box office just with his first flick. Rumours are doing rounds now that Bellamkonda Srinivas is all set to star in Boyapati Seenu’s latest flick, which will be either produced by Dil Raju or Bellamkonda Suresh himself.

Though ‘Legend’ is touted to be one of the blockbusters of the year, director Boyapati got no big offers from any big star heroes. He tried his luck with a script that is tentatively titled ‘Ruler’ and Ram Charan rejected it straight away. Later our director has approached Jr NTR too with a tweaked version of the same Ruler but that too fizzled out. With no options left, Boyapati Seenu has also considered making a movie with new comers in the lead. Somehow that idea didn’t worked and finally he got the attention of Bellamkonda Srinivas it seems.

If at all Boyapati makes a mass action movie with Srinivas, surely it is going to be the Ruler script narrated to Charan and NTR. Else if he had a new story, he would have first gone to Charan and NTR again. So if Ruler is made with Bellamkonda’s son and scores a blockbuster, then it will be proved that Charan’s judgment is wrong. Else both the Seenus should work hard to grab another project.
