Exclusive: Why KCR prefers Rachakonda for Film City?

Share
There seems to be more to it than what meets the eye in the selection of Rachakonda hills area by Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao for developing Film City. According to inside sources, KCR has deliberately chosen Rachakonda for the Film City after coming to an understanding with media baron Ramoji Rao. 
The Rachakonda hills are no doubt picturesque locations ideal for film shootings, but they are very close to Ramoji Film City. Sources said probably KCR had an agreement with Ramoji Rao that development of film city at Rachakonda would benefit both the State government as well as RFC. 
The shootings can be done in the hills and the processing of film could be done at RFC. Besides, the twin star hotels would get full occupancy with shootings in Rachakonda area. Everybody knows, RFC is running in heavy losses now and development of film city at adjacent Rachakonda would only help Ramoji make up for the losses. In return, KCR would get his due share. 
That is perhaps why KCR spent a long day at RFC immediately after selecting Rachakonda for the film city, sources said.

Historical Moment In TV Show

During the last decade, the expansion and credibility of small screen circuit rose to such a level that even the biggest of stars are now relying on TV to promote themselves and their films. This is also the reason why many big TV stars are getting involved in TV related programs and scoring many brownie points. 
One show which has garnered a lot of appreciation and applause in Telugu land is ‘Meelo Evaru Koteeswarudu’. This is the adaptation of the Hindi game show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’. The Telugu version is being hosted by ‘King’ Akkineni Nagarjuna and now a very historic moment is going to take place in this show. 
Inside reports reveal in a day or two, the participant to sit on the hot seat would be none other than living legend Amitabh Bachchan. Yes, Amitabh will answer questions put by Nag. This is going to be interesting because ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ became a legendary program due to the hosting by Big B himself. Get set for this historical moment!

Amitabh Bachchan In Toilet!!

Share
Don’t be flummoxed thinking why we are writing about Amitabh Bachchan and his toilet because he has done something which has caught all by surprise. Last night, the living legend released a song from his upcoming movie ‘Shamitabh’ and the number goes ‘Piddly si baatein…’. 
Now, what catches the attention is Amitabh’s grizzly look but more than that, the entire song he sings sitting on a western commode inside a toilet. In between, he also catches the water spray gun and uses it as his mike. 
This is indeed a maverick thought and due credit for that must also be given to director Balki for conceiving this concept. For his range, Amitabh doing something revolutionary like this is welcoming.
It was well complimented by some really melodious tune by maestro Ilaiyaraaja and sensible lyrics by Swanand Kirkire. For the record, Piddly means something which is extremely trivial and something of least importance.

Pataas Is Better Than Temper And Lion

Share
As a new year treat, the whole of Nandamuri family’s happening heroes have released trailers of their upcoming movies. As fans are rejoicing in the hype and hoopla these teasers generated, cine lovers are busy finding out who has given the best entertainment among Balakrishna, Jr NTR and Kalyan Ram. To welcome 2015, both ‘baabai’ Balakrishna and ‘abbai’ Jr NTR have come up with Lion and Temper teasers respectively. 
Both the teasers have won appreciation from fans, but general cine lovers feel that they are looking quite ordinary. Balayya’s CBI officer is regular and run of the mill types, while the teaser is also looking routine. Coming to Temper, NTR has once again showcased his dialogue delivery skills but nothing intuitive. Seems like both baabai and abbai are on repetition mode of formulaic movies they have done earlier. 
Pataas is however the much needed respite for cine lovers as Kalyan Ram delivered fantastic comedy throughout the trailer. His dialogues are though old, his new body language clicked instantly while the comic relief provided by MS Narayana is top notch. In a way, Pataas teaser is faring well than Temper and Lion.

Imagine a situation wherein you are calling someone and suddenly you hear Mahesh Babu’s voice on the other end? Isn’t that surprising? Well, if you want to experience that surprise then you must call your friend or family who is using the Idea mobile connection. And yes, you will hear the voice of superstar Mahesh. 
Apparently, when you call up an Idea user, you would hear a message which goes something like this ‘Ee dialer tone meeku kaavali ante star nokki ee number nokkandi… chargeelu vartistyaai’. The voice is that of Mahesh Babu. It is known that Mahesh is the brand ambassador for the Idea network in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states.
So, instead of using some stranger’s beautiful voice, the company seems to have roped in Mahesh to do the voiceover and it is proving to be a different and interesting experience. If this can really lead to some conversion of dialer tunes then the objective of the company would be achieved.
