Share

NTR

Considering the recent success track record and opening stamina of mega heroes, almost all the opening day, first weekend and first week’s records are written on their names. As such, they are treated as the best openers of tollywood. But then, who stands next as the best opener after mega heroes? According to the trade reports, Young Tiger ntr stands the best opener though another big star Prince Mahesh has great success track record than ntr recently. This can be analysed through their movies ‘Dammu- Businessman’ and ‘Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu-Baadshah’.Checkout the analysis.

* BUSINESSMAN-DAMMU: ‘Businessman’ was released during Sankranthi of 2012 and ‘Dammu’ hit the screens during summer season of the same year. Both the movies were released in equal number of theaters with same ticket price. ‘Dammu’, despite utter flop talk and despite Balakrishna’s fans negative propaganda, managed to collect Rs.7.39 crores on the day one of its release in AP alone. ‘Businessman’, although, got hit talk, could succeed in collecting Rs.6.95 crores only. Rated as a flop movie, ‘Dammu’ finally collected Rs.34 crores share while ‘Businessman’ collected Rs.38+ crores in its full run.

* SVSC-BAADSHAH: ‘SVSC’ was released for Sankranthi and ‘Baadshah’ was released for summer in 2013. ‘SVSC’ with super hit talk collected Rs.6.78 crores on the first day in AP alone. Having got above average talk, ‘Baadshah’ collected Rs.8.87 crores on the day one of its release. The closing businesses of both the movies are Rs.51+ cr, and Rs.45+ crores respectively. Interestingly ‘Baadshah’ ran 50 days in more number of centers than ‘SVSC’. ‘Baadshah’ ran 50 days in 51 direct centers while SVSC ran 50 days in 45 direct centers.

* Although running a lean pace of career with a series of failures, ntr has got above records. And this is just an indication of his ‘Mass Power’. What if his movie gets a blockbuster talk on the day of its release? Records will certainly be broken, won’t they?

Although hailing from Mumbai, cute and chubby nanditha has never looked like a North Indian. Instead she appears like a girl next door. In her debut film ‘Neeku Naaku Dash Dash’ directed by Teja, she excelled her acting skills apart from being seen as a glamour girl. However, the result of the movie disappointed her.

nanditha was at best in her performance in ‘Prema Katha Chitram’ directed by Maruthi. The movie changed her fate. And now, her latest offing ‘Lovers’ is doing good at the box office. On a whole, she scored two hits out of three films done by her. She is currently doing a Malayalam film ‘London Bridge’.

We have, so far, heard many gossips about Chiranjeevi’s 150th movie.

NYTR

NTR’s long-awaited flick Rabhasa has been cleared by the regional Censor Board on Wednesday. As per the reports, CBFC has certified the film with ‘A’ certificate apparently without any cuts. We hear that the 150-minute-long film is loaded with high-octane action stunts which have compelled the board to give a A certification.

However, the makers haven’t raised any objections and were apparently convinced with Board’s decision. Although there was an option for producer Bellamkonda Suresh and director Santosh Srinivas to get U/A with few cuts, they have opted for A as they didn’t want to chop any scenes. Reports say that the movie is out-and-out commercial potboiler which has all elements to satiate NTR’s hardcore fans.

With Censor Board clearing the movie, there is no stopping for NTR’s Rabhasa and it is going to hit the theatres on Aug 27 with a bang.

Actually, mega star Chiranjeevi has an unfulfilled dream of turning a ‘director” but it has been deferred and he is still mulling to wield the megaphone, sooner than later. After “Shankar Dada Zindabad”, Tagore star wanted to direct his 149th film and began to scout for good scripts, for his directorial debut but couldn’t find the right kind of script but later joined politics and his dream remained stuck.

Despite being one of the few T-town top stars who fulfilled all his dreams and became a number one star and best dancer around and also won state awards for his performances but direction eluded him. Like his predessorrs NTR and Krishna, even Chiranjeevi wanted to wear the director’s hat to add another feather to his steaming cap, now that he is beginning his new innings in tinsel town, may be he would direct his 151st film, which would be a feast for his fans worldover.

One flop made him sit at desk revisiting his mistakes and working out harder to bounce back strongly. Harish Shankar is a dashing director in Tollywood, until Ramayya Vastavayya started throwing nightmares into his career. And finally there is something in plate for this young director.

As we said earlier, ‘Subrahmanyam For Sale’ is an forthcoming flick that will be helmed by Harish, while Allu Arvind and Dil Raju are producing it on their United Friends banner. This film has mega ‘menalludu’ Sai Dharam Tej in the lead despite the fact that his two initial movies, debut Rey and second one Pilla Nuvvuleni Jeevitham are yet to see light. In-between there are rumors that Harish Shankar will pick Mega ‘mavayya’ Pawan Kalyan to carve out Gabbar Singh 2.

When director Sampath Nandi repeatedly heard of failing to impress Pawan with his script, these gossips started billowing. Badly in need of a blockbuster, Harish has finally singled out his choice among the available mega heroes. He will be working with Sai Dharam Tej from September to complete ‘Subhrahmanyam For Sale’ in a single schedule. So, no more rumors!

On January 5th this year, a popular star that was once a powerful spark in the sky has disappeared permanently. Tollywood had woke up to the bitter truth that hero Uday Kiran has committed suicide at his flat in Srinagar Colony. Amongst accusations and advices, finally he is laid to rest the next day after a postmortem. However there is mystery surrounding his death as media exposed so many unsolved clues.

Finally, the much awaited forensic report of Uday’s autopsy has arrived, putting all the speculations to permanent rest. Experts revealed that Uday Kiran lost his life due to difficulty in breathing, which is more likely due to choking caused by fastening of a thread around his neck. Also it is mentioned that Uday consumed alcohol before committing suicide. Police have registered as a case of suspected death then, but hasn’t filed any charge sheet as forensic report is pending. However the report has now proved that Uday has committed suicide and there is no foul play.

Kalyan Ram Imports Bollywood Strategy

Share
kick

Norm in Bollywood is that they will announce the release date of the movie during the time of shoot itself.  Then they will work against time to make it happen. Because, theatres should be booked and hired at least 3 months in advance in Hindi tinsel towns unlike us, where we change release date just two days ahead of the scheduled date.Importing Bollywood’s strategy, Kick 2 is the first big-ticket entertainer here in Tollywood to work backwards to match a pre announced release date. Producer Nandamuri Kalyan Ram has set his eyes on May 28, 2015 to release Kick 2 across the globe. Director Surender Reddy and hero Raviteja will now work rigorously to meet that date. This will be the first of its kind in Tollywood if they meet that date. Because that will be like leading others by an example without changing their release dates as they like. Also that will not disturb or alter the positioning of any other small movies in the foray.

If Kalyan Ram succeeds in releasing Kick 2 on said date, it will be definitely an eye opener for many producers who generally dillydally with release dates due to various silly reasons. Let us hope he will succeed and start a new era of film-releasing in Tollywood.

Superstar production plans shelved ?

mahesh

Superstar Mahesh babu wanted to step into production by co-producing Dhookudu remake in Hindi with Salman Khan and even used to announce that Salman would suit the role better and even mediators, screened the comic-caper to Dabbang star. But with Mahesh reportedly insisting on director Srinu Vytla to direct the Hindi version, to sustain the flavor, while Slaman preferred to have a top Hindi filmmaker, so finally, it got stuck.

However, it seems that Mahesh Babu has shelved his idea of turning a producer with a B-town film and would be focusing on acting alone, since he has no plans to produce any Telugu film, despite a market of 65-crore, because his brother Ramesh and sister Manjula, failed as producers, so Aagadu star dropped his ambitions. Its wise decision, considering the risks iand big stakes involved in production these days? What u say folks ?

Rabhasa’ Release Postponed, Financial Crisis?

Share

NNTT

What’s happening with Young Tiger NTR’s latest movie ‘Rabhasa’ that is waiting for a release from a time? Music director Thaman confirmed the other day about wrapping up of re-recording and that made the flick ready for Censor certification. But with no word from producer Bellamkonda Suresh about the release date, except the confirmation that the flick will be made available in theatres by August, there is lot of vagueness.

Buzz in Film Nagar has brought it to light that Rabhasa is facing severe financial crunch due to some hasty decisions taken by producer Bellamkonda Suresh. Dilemma started once the producer’s previous release Alludu Seenu failed to recover the full pledged investment from box office for distributors. Maybe Bellamkonda should have cleared the arrears and rolled out red carpet for NTR’s movie, but he has rushed to Boyapati Seenu regarding his son’s second movie. After paying 5 crores advance to Legend director, he is left with no option except making distributors wait. This fund crisis has finally led to a situation where distributors are asking for ‘Vitamin M’ to release Rabhasa on time. That is said to be taking toll on August 29 release date.

Noticing Rabhasa’s struggles to hit theatres on 29th, Naga Chaitanya has fashioned a clever move by advancing his flick from Sep 5 to 29. This move is adding more fuel to the fire that Rabhasa is postponed indefinitely once again. We have to wait for Bellamkonda’s word about these happenings before commenting any further.

Arvind @ Comedy Hero, Bunny @ Mass Star

sunil

Most celebrated father and son duo of Telugu Cinema Industry is busy smashing coconuts on the floor today morning. This is not to beat the drum about things happening in their family lives or professional lives. But this is purely for their friends.

Mega producer Allu Arvind has launched the latest movie of comedy hero Sunil today (August 20). Tipped to be a comedy caper, Dil Raju is producing this flick while his longtime associate Vasu Varma of Josh fame is wielding mega phone for the second time. If this idealistic father is busy here, where is his energetic son then?

Allu Arjun has graced the opening ceremony of Mass Raja Raviteja’s Kick 2. Being produced by Kalyan Ram, this second edition of a confounding protagonist will have Surender Reddy in the captain’s seat. Though the Father and Son are at different places, guess what they are doing. Smashing coconuts!

Let us wish Sunil’s dry run and Raviteja’s slow saga will end with these two flicks.

Nag

Floating on cloud nine over the response he is getting for ‘Oka Laila Kosam’ promotions, romantic lad Naga Chaitanya is a happy man now. In a bid to share this happiness with dad Nagarjuna, he has decided to offer the movie as a gift to him.

‘Oka Laila Kosam’ was initially slated for September 5th release, and publicity is at full swing to rake up huge hype for the romantic love saga. However, Chaitu is emphatic to give this Laila as birthday present to his doting father, King Nagarjuna on 29th August. Oka Laila Kosam is now advanced to Nag’s birthday eve on Aug 29, rather its original Sep 5 and distributors are making arrangements to fetch maximum number of theatres without any issues. Buzz is that ‘Rabhasa’ hasn’t confirmed its presence yet in theatres and that made Chaitu advance his flick without any worries.

Already, album scored by Anup Rubens clicked well with youths. Chaitanya’s colorful look and lover boy expressions are a big hit with lady fans. Movie content shown in trailers generated curiosity. With all this buzz in pocket, undoubtedly this is going to be best birthday gift for Nag from his elder son.

Amidst speculations that Pawan Kalyan and Venkatesh’s ‘Gopala Gopala’ is all set to take on box office this Diwali, there is a highly confirmed report from Ramanaidu Studios about the possible release date of the movie. This will surely give a breather to other films that are worried about locking horns with Oh My God remake.

Two big heroes and one powerful combination. What will be the better date for such a flick if not a biggest holiday season where almost all Telugu people are home? Unlike rumors that Gopala Gopala will be hitting screens in 2014 itself, makers have confirmed to a leading media house that Pawan-Venky treat will be targeted at Sankranthi 2015, probably on January 15th. Already scenes involving Pawan Kalyan as Lord Krishna are almost wrapped up barring a couple.

Director Kishore (Dolly) is shooting at jet speed to finish rest of the movie too. Shooting is going on at the moment and the cast includes Venky, Shriya, Madhu Shalini, Saikumar and others. Excited fans should wait till Jan 2015 anyway to feel the punch of Gopala Gopala.

Mass hero saviour of flop star?

Share

Its a rarity in T-town, since stars established own productions to revive and sustain their careers, but flop actor Kalyan Ram has different plans and is spending lavishly on Ravi Teja’s Kick 2′, to revive the sagging fortunes of his banner NTR Arts, which lost more than 15 crores in 3D film “Om” and with director Surendar Reddy being his friend, he has relied on rival star Ravi Teja, to recreate the magic of Kick.

Interestingly, except for “Athanokkade”, nothing has worked in favour of kalyan ram and even his production house produced more duds like “Asaadyudu” and ”Vijayadasami” than hits.

But disaster like “Om” forced the actor-producer, to look for a saviour to regain the glory of the banner, which was named after legendary Telugu icon who had most hits, will Mass Maharaja pull it off?

After acting like a body double for Udaya Bhanu in the call-girl story Madhumathi, this slender lady got some recognition. Known as Junior Udaya Bhanu for her looks that resemble senior anchor, young Hyderabadi model Deeksha Panth is going guns.

Recently it is Telugu girl Madhu Shalini who stunned her critics by signing a role in Pawan-Venky’s Gopala Gopala. She will be seen as a video journalist in the movie, playing active part all over. And the latest addition is Deeksha Panth, who will be playing the character played by Poonam Jawar in the original. Though Poonam looks much elder in that role, after a series of auditions Telugu makers have thought that an younger Deeksha Panth fits the bill aptly.

Directed by Dolly, this Oh My God remake is being stuffed with a huge casting apart from Pawan Kalyan and Venkatesh. Already Shriya, Saikumar and Madhu Shalini have joined the board, and some other bigwigs are likely to join soon.

NTR Tips Off ‘Class Family Entertainer’

Share

NTR

Barring a few movies, Young Tiger NTR hasn’t done any full pledged family-oriented entertainer till date. At a time when he is planning one such, a flop is hitting him hard on the head. Then he is compelled to take up a masala script to cope up with debacle. But finally, Tarak has made his mind to star in a family-flick, regardless of results of movies in hand.

Talented film maker Srikanth Addala is known for his family-based subjects that revolve around relations, sentiments, unconditional love and native Godavari districts. After making Kotha Bangaru Lokam and Seethamma Vaakitlo, he is now busy carving Mukunda for debutant hero Varun Tej. Highly placed sources confirmed that director Srikanth has met NTR the other day to narrate a subject.

Liking the concept to the core, Junior has given immediate nod for the project and is ready to kick start once he wraps up Puri Jagan’s film. This tips off that the mass-action hero will be soon seen in a class-family-entertainer. Probably after Ram Charan changed his mind to pick family-oriented subjects before signing ‘Govindudu Andarivadele’, even NTR has joined same queue.
