Rigorous Research Behind ‘Rudramadevi’

Share

Rudramma-Devi-Shooting647x450

Director Gunasekhar has finally wrapped up the shooting of his magnum opus ‘Rudramadevi’, featuring Anushka in the titular role. When he rushed to produce this big and risky budgeted flick, there was little disapproval from trade circle as to why he is doling out such budget for this improperly weaved history. Guna has answers anyway.

Revealing the facts that led him to make Rudramadevi, Gunasekhar said, ‘By 2002 itself I had a fully prepared solid-version of Rudramadevi on paper. But I took ten years for more research and get facts from historians, scholars and books in libraries. I’ve sealed the script in 2012 and started pre-production work’. This clears the fact that Gunasekhar hasn’t weaved his ‘story’ of Kakatiya queen’s history in just 3 months like they do for regular commercial movies. From jewelry to weapons, costumes to chariots, palaces to wars, everything is close to history and accurate in Rudramadevi.

This film is simultaneously being shot in stereoscopic 3D and regular 2D format. Currently visual effects work is going at brisk pace, and ‘Rudramadevi’ might see light in December 2014. Get ready to watch yet another historical and fantastical magic from Gunasekhar after his ‘Bala Ramayanam’.

One of the media-friendly and down-to-earth heroes of Tollywood, Allu Arjun never rubs anyone on the wrong side. But still, he face some criticism during ‘Race Gurram’ time and he is now giving a big retort all that. Can you imagine what that criticism is about?

Undoubtedly Bunny is hailed as the best dancer in Tollywood by many critics and fans alike. For every new movie, he invents new floor-movements, dance language and awe-inspiring leg shaking. However, he is growing heavy in weight which seems like a concern for his admirers. Bunny is slapped by critics for putting on extra weight in Race Gurram unlike his slim posture that enthralled in Arya 2 and Badrinath. Giving retort to such criticism, he has now shed 10 kilos of weight.

As Trivikram is anyway taking time to come up with final version of script, Allu Arjun is busy hitting gym to lose those extra kilos. He is now looking a bit lean than his previous look when he attended some private events the other day. That’s Bunny for you folks!

In a most shocking and startling revelation an Ireland woman has admitted that she had slept with 140 men. That’s not all. The women rated the men she slept with on a chart of 10 in various categories like looks, dress sense and solvency.

53-year-old Sandy Nardo from Dublin has kept a diary of her sex history and maintained the record of people whom she had sex with ever since she lost her virginity in 19. The diary is called as “little black book” which lists details of the 140 men with nicknames such as ‘Earls Court Tube Arab’, ‘Italian Prince’, ‘Blond photographer’ and alarmingly, ‘The Pervert’.

Sandy explained how she slept with 140 men around the world – often just one night stands – as she travelled with her job as a translator. she said it might be because of her Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and she also admitted that her husband got 10 out of 10, although he was “mentally all wrong”.

Mahesh Babu’s Aagadu is all set to hit the marquee on September 19. This film is going to have record release across the globe. Meanwhile Ram Charan and Govindudu Andarivadele team is working hard to release the film on October 1st. As of now the clash of titans is definitely on.

With two biggies eyeing Dasara season other film makers are staying away from the competition. Earlier Loukyam makers thought of pitting Gopichand against Mahesh and Charan. But they have dropped that idea now. Loukyam is not going to release on 26th September as announced. It will release in the second week of October. It may be advanced to the first week of October if Govindudu Andarivadele doesn’t make it on time.

Gopichand has been running through lean phase in recent times. It is not advisable for him to lock horns with two of the biggest superstars of Tollywood at this point. Loukyam makers are showing ‘diplomacy’ true to its title and staying out of the competition. Good for them.

allu arjun - adah shatma

Adah Sharma, who shot to fame in Tollywood with Heart Attack film, is on cloud nine as she bagged a biggie. She is all set to romance Allu Arjun in the film directed by Trivikram Srinivas. Adah has impressed Trivikram with her performance in the film Hasee Toh Phasee. She will be playing second fiddle to Samantha in this movie.

Another heroine is yet to be finalized in this film that will go to sets in the last week of this month. Trivikram worked on the script until he is fully satisfied. That is the reason why this film took so long to start rolling. Trivikram is planning to complete the shoot and release this film within seven months.

Allu Arjun who scored a mighty blockbuster with Race Gurram during last summer is targeting next summer with this film. It is an out and out romantic entertainer with loads of action and comedy. Expectations are very high on this film as Trivikram and Allu Arjun’s previous films were blockbusters. Their last film together, Julayi was a super hit too. This adds up to the craze and hype around the film.

Don’t underestimate Jr. NTR!

rabhasa ntr

NTR’s critics started to question his stamina as a star with Rabhasa tanking at the box office. Few sections of media started to write him off already. They are not considering NTR among the contenders for number one spot in Tollywood. But this bad phase is not going to affect NTR’s fan base or image.

We have seen Pawan Kalyan struggle for more than a decade to find his form back. Even Mahesh Babu had a lean phase in his career post Pokiri till Dookudu. Seniors like Nagarjuna and Balakrishna too had many flop stints in their respective careers. One good film or one big hit is enough for NTR to bounce back.

Who is talking about Puli and Panja after Gabbar Singh and Attarintiki Daredi? Is anybody pointing out Balakrishna’s flop run prior to Legend now? All that a star of NTR’s caliber needs is one big hit to get things back on track. People won’t even talk about Ramayya Vastavayya and Rabhasa if NTR scores big hit with his next film. NTR and his fans need to patiently wait until this bad phase is gone.

Did Harish Shankar Lose ‘Mega’ Film?

mega

Debacle of Ramayya Vastavayya pushed talented director Harish Shankar into oblivion. However it is highly hyped that his next features Mega ‘menalladu’ Sai Dharam Tej in the lead and titled ‘Subhrahmanyam For Sale’. Are things working out in favor of this flick? We get doubts now.

Apparently filmmaking giant Dil Raju’s line-producers have announced a casting call today. Calling aspiring youths of certain ages to send their photographs for auditions, they have announced that shooting of Harish Shankar and Dil Raju combo movie will commence from October 13th. Other than mentioning that this flick is studded with popular stars, there is no mention of Sai Dharam Tej. That raised doubts about this illustrious project.

Dil Raju is already producing a joint venture ‘Pilla Nuvvuleni Jeevitham’ for Sai Dharam, so it would be easy for him to rope the ‘mega’ hero for Harish Shankar’s movie too. But as they are not declaring Sai Dharam’s name, one wonders if this ‘mega’ film is no more on the cards. Wait and see.

Losing her stardom quite quickly, dusky ‘bong’shell Bipasha Basu is trying her luck hard with her next week’s release ‘Creature 3D’. These days there are no big happenings for Bips apart from this not-so-interesting movie. As read from those pathetic trailers and songs of this flick, our hottie is the sole selling factor of the movie.
 
When all those happening heroines like Alia Bhatt, Anushka Sharma, Shradda Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha and Sonam Kapoor are shining high on popular magazines, Bipasha thought of going similar way. Here comes the hot Bengali siren sizzling on Fusion Life magazine’s September edition. Other than that drop-dead fitness and huge baggage of cleavage, Bips has quite lost her charm. Though they are the sole factors that are grabbing eyeballs, vivaciousness is missing.

From the time the Telangana CM KCR has announced 2000 acres for development of a new film city in Hyderabad, dreams have started building among the cine members of the Andhra and Telangana regions. Now, sources say the Telangana cine folks are aiming to see Andhra cine folks don’t get any lands.

This is because Andhra people have already got prime properties in premium areas. Noted film celebrities like Paruchuri Brothers, Kota Srinivasa Rao, EVV Satyanarayana have their homes next to each other. For that matter, even the noted politician Paritala Ravi has got a home in the same lane. With all Andhra people only in the vicinity of Banjara Hills, Jubilee Hills and Filmnagar, where is the identity for Telangana people is the topic raised by the T-cinema members.

So, they feel that the new lands must belong to them. In that process, all are trying to become power centers even before anything has happened practically. At least if Chandrababu Naidu announces something for the AP cine circuit, then it is better but that doesn’t seem to be happening. Let us wish things settle amicably on both sides.
