Who Changed Mukunda And Why???

Share
For one year, they are literally sitting on the story, roping in huge changes and corrections. This is what happened with director Srikanth Addala’s “Mukunda” that features debuting mega hero Varun Tej and Miss India finalist Pooja Hegde in the leads. As the revelation comes that changes are made to the initial story penned by Srikanth, let’s get deeper into this to find out who changed and why.
In the case of Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu, director Srikanth has given narration to Mahesh Babu for 20 minutes and within 2 days the actor agreed to be on board. Looking at this happening, it is surprising to see for a newcomer like Varun Tej it took almost a year to finalize Addala’s story. They say that SVSC is written by this director for years and it went through all sorts of script doctoring and cross checking. 
But Mukunda is fresh and it required that treatment just to make the output better. We have that Nagababu and Allu Arvind are the guides for these changes. While Srikanth’s story is all about a village and a youth’s desire, these two mega biggies brought the much needed commercial aspects to it. ‘Had it not been Mahesh and Venky, SVSC result would have toppled. So mega bosses have took this extra care for Mukunda’, a source said..

As our hunk-hero Prabhas is flinging his sword into air at picturesque locales of Bulgaria for “Baahubali”, ground work for his next film is also going on at rapid pace back here India. Probably by the end of January, the six-foot most eligible bachelor of T-town will wrap up the shoot of Rajamouli’s magnum opus. That will mark the end of Baahubali Part-I shooting, while he has to get back to Part-II work in sometime.
In this gap, Prabas wants to finish another movie in a record time. As we said earlier, young director Sujith who has made an impressive start with Sharwanand’s “Run Raja Run” is all set to take the mantle for this project with Prabhas. Extensive pre-production is happening at the moment, jotting down every single detail, preparing the idea of shots to be taken and kind of costumes to be used. 
As Sujith and UV Productions team have finished working on story already, they will now lock other things, such that when Prabhas is available, they will finish whole shoot in just two months. That will be first film for Prabhas to be shot under 60 days. As Baahubali I is slated to hit cinemas in April, this rom-com directed by Sujith will release in June, say insiders.

Shocked! I know all are interested to know who was that heroine who rejected the offer to act with Power Star. Well, in true sense that beauty did not get nay kind of offer but tells that she will never accept a film that needs to glamour. 
She will always be away from roles that need skin show and even rejects the offer even if the hero is Pawan Kalyan or Amitabh Bachan. She reveals that audience love to see her as the girl next door and so she will never sign any projects that wants to flaunt her beauty assets. 
Avika Gor was popular as a child artist in Chinnari Pelli Kuthuru and made her debut with Uyyala Jampala. Lakshmi.. Rave Ma Intiki was her recent release pairing with Naga Shourya. So, what do you think about her statements? Do you think she is bold enough?

The actor cum ruling party MLA is looking Super handsome in the picture Aditya 369 is one of the Epic movies ever made in Telugu.

What If Rajamouli Disappoints With Baahubali?

Share
Can that happen? None of the Telugu movie lovers can even think about the probability of SS Rajamouli delivering a flop movie at the box-office. In fact, he is the only Tollywood director, who doesn’t have a flop film throughout his career. However, a new fear started among many fans. Rajamouli was one of the top directors in Telugu till ‘Magadheera’. 
He proved his distractors that he can deliver a hit film without a star hero (Maryada Ramanna) and became undisputed number one director. And with ‘Eega’, he surprised filmmakers across the nation and Rajamouli was able to earn many admirers throughout India. Lot of pressure is mounted on our ‘Jakkanna’ at the moment and nothing about the film (Baahubali) seems to be interesting so far. 
‘Baahubali’ unit released some making videos and stills, but none of them were able to match the hype so far. Telugu movie lovers and Rajamouli fans are expecting more than extra-ordinary this time and we need to wait and watch, if SS Rajamouli can reach the expectations our the audience or not.

Speaking on a live show, Reddy said he would give zero marks to both Babu and Jagan for their poor show. He said that the government machinery was not functioning properly and added that Babu and his team were not only cheating farmers and DWACRA groups, they were also cheating people at large. 
Reddy said that they were functioning in totally opposite manner to the pre-poll promises they made. On the other hand, the opposition failed to pull up the ruling party for its lack of commitment. Hence, both the leaders get zero marks he said. Raghuveera Reddy also said that the way Jagan behaved regarding making Vijayawada the new capital was questionable. 
The ideal way was to hold an all party meeting opined Reddy. To substantiate his stand, Raghuveera also showed a few clippings of Chandra Babu’s pre-poll promises to DWACRA women and farmers. Reddy also disclosed that his party will start its agitation from the very spot that Chandra Babu was sworn in as none of the five projects that he signed on have been implemented till now.

As many as 14,000 workers from Andhra Pradesh Film Industry Employees Federation, who have been on strike for the last two weeks over low wages and lack of employment regulations, have finally decided to call off their stir as an amicable agreement has been reached with the producers. 
The strike had started because of the decision by the producers to hire the services of anyone to work in their films, even if they are not members of the Andhra Pradesh Film Industry Employees Federation.
“The talks with the union members ended successfully on Friday. They have agreed to work as per the conditions that producers can appoint technicians at their will and they don’t have to be necessarily members of the federation,” B. Sivaramakrishna, president, Telugu Producers Council, told IANS. 
Regular shootings resumed from Saturday. The shooting of several big budget films that were scheduled for Sankranti release next year had been affected due to the strike. With the end of the industry workers’ stir, the producers can now breathe a sigh of relief.

Members of Nandamuri family are not able to digest the sudden demise of Janakiram. While everyone of them are in an immense pain for losing their family member, one person is saddened losing a close friend. He is none other than Harikrishna’s youngest son Jr.NTR. Not many people know that Harikrishna’s sons have accepted Tarak as their blood-brother. 
Both Janakiram and Kalyanram have started to treat Tarak as their own brother from couple of years. As soon as Jr.NTR got to know about Janakiram’s death, he rushed to Harikrishna’s house and started to console his father. He was sad, but took care of other things till the body arrived.
However, NTR was not able to control his tears after seeing the dead body of his brother. No one was able to console Tarak and he is on his way along with his Nandamuri brothers and other family members to perform the final rituals of Janakiram.

Seat Belt and Air Bags Could have Saved Janakiram?

Share
With post-mortem reports stating that Nandamuri Janakiram died due to severe and sudden injury on his heart when his car steering has struck him so hard and his side-bones were fractured, experts predict that seat belt could have saved Janakiram’s life. Even cops and doctors too felt the same. 
But the cause of accident is because of the negligence of tractor driver who was trying to cross the road in wrong-route. The front part of Janakiram’s Tata Safari (AP29 BD 2323) had hit the back portion of tractor (tractor trolley) leading to fatal accident. 
Unfortunately, it’s a 2008 model Tata Safari which doesn’t have option of air bags. The accident site has a danger curve from where tractor was coming in wrong route and naturally, no one expects any vehicle from that side, said locales. Bad light also said to have played havoc.

Telugu heroes these days are not leaving it to designers and costumers when it comes to their on-screen outfits and styling. They are very much active in following the trends, picking up trendy and latest clothes, choosing right hairstyles and accessories to carry their best looks. Let’s check what’s happening with two of the Tollywood’s hot-shot stars, Allu Arjun and Jr NTR, to find out more. 
For the upcoming movies, Bunny-Trivikram film and Jr NTR-Puri Jagan’s Temper, both our heroes are following unique style. And their costumes are the most talked about as they have purchased them in other countries. Bunny went to Dubai along with his brother Sirish to buy the latest winter-trends in leading designer stores.
Apart from those regular costumes we see in scenes, he has picked up different jackets, slim-fit shirts, torn jeans and shoes to feature in songs. Coming to NTR, he is trying his best to avoid jackets and jean-coats to bring out the best of his chiseled look. All his costumes used in Temper are brought in Hongkong and few in London.
He banked on linen material shirts and earthly shades for his rugged look as a cop. NTR’s Temper will hit screens on January 9, and there is no change in release date for the now. Bunny’s movie is scheduled for February 9th, and both the flicks will be racing against time to reach the deadlines. As Cine workers have called off their strike, wrapping these flicks on time isn’t a big deal anymore.

With many bringing sentiment factor in, cine lovers are puzzled about what these sentiment-lovers are talking about. As discussion storms around this title, we brought to you what’s being debated exactly. 
Some say that Mahesh Babu will score big hits if the title is a ‘three letter’ word. And then they talk about Murari, Okkadu, Athadu and Dookudu. They hint that even if Srikanth Addala picks such short words, it is better, but Brahmotsavam is four-letter word against the sentiments. 
One wonders if these sentiment-lovers have really forgotten about the ‘three lette’ words like Khaleja and recent Aagadu. And coming to hit factor, Mahesh has a lengthy title like ‘Seemthamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu’ in his kitty along with English words like ‘Businessman’. So, what’s in the length of a word of the title?
