Fancy price demand for Rabhasa?

Share

untitled

It is reliably learnt that top producer Bellamkonda Suresh is pushing the market of jr NTR with ‘Rabhasa’ as he is quoting 11 crores of Nizam area, despite knowing that NTR movies haven’t done really well in this region, claims a distributor.

Nizam is considered the fort of Chiranjeevi family-Pawan, Charan but Mahesh superseded them in the region which comprises of borders with Karnataka and Maharashtra. Even though, NTR holds many records in Seemandhra and Ceded but just managed to touch 9 crore mark with Baadshah and his earlier hits like ‘Yamadonga’ and ‘Adhurs’ managed between 5 to 6 crores.

So, Suresh looks too ambitious by quoting a ‘fancy price’ by distributors of this 10- district region. If the deal goes through, NTR would be setting a new record in Nizam busines and join the ranks A-listers in this region. Lets wait and watch?

Cherry’s party for his friend?

We all know that Charan and Sharwanand are good friends and the Nayak star is going to host a party for his buddy who discovered winning streak with “Run Raja Run”. Their friendship stood test of time and even though professionally, Charan rose to superstardom with hits, but sharwa managed to be a good actor and tasted moderate success with “Gamyam” and “Prasthanam”.

Nevertheless, the bonding between the two actor strengthened in the last 7 to 8 years and actually, it is 6- member close-knit group that includes Charan and Sharwa and occasionally meet up at Charan’s terrace garden over food and lot of masti, says a source.

With Charan get some spare time, he would host a small party for his friend, to celebrate the success and all the friends would set to meet up and have a blast? Since its difficult for two stars to sustain their friendship and its even more difficult if their career graphs are running in opposite directions?

Short Film: Bunny Delivers The Message

TTT01

Stylish Star Allu Arjun’s tryst with patriotism has worked big time, with his short-film ‘I AM THAT CHANGE’ delivering the right message on right day. His intention of advising youth to not commit mistakes even in the case of minutest things has struck a chord. Advising them to not take liberties and violate basic rules by suppressing ethics, Allu Arjun says ‘Be That Change’.

The short film focused mainly on day to day acts of various persons who break rules and change them as per their conveniences. A rich brat jumps signal and offers money to traffic police. A school girl who hasn’t studied well picks her friend’s answer sheet to copy. A young boy walking by his father’s side drops an emptied soft-drink tin on a road. A celebrity, Allu Arjun, avoids the security checkup and passes from the side of bomb detector rather going through it. So, what should all these people do??? Watch the film to get the message straight to your heart.

‘Doing our duty rightly is also patriotism. Change should begin with us. I’m that change. Be that change’, says the message. Good job Bunny. Hope all youths out there get the message and ‘change’ themselves to see change in this nation of great culture, values, people and integrity. Vandemataram.

puri brother

Some time ago, director Puri reportedly informed new directors, who came to narrate stories, to his brother and actor sairam shankar, that he would like to listen and approve it and also offer support. But now he has lost interest and left to sai to decide for himself.

Once-in-while, Puri gets interested with Sai’s career and doesn’t bother most of the time. His guidance would have helped Sai in a long way, but he kept away for reasons best to known to him. Recently, Puri changed tracks and checked out stories that Sai doing, but now he is off.

Whereas, Sai trusted director Teja and even postponed four films to accommodate “1000 Abbadalu” but it turned a damp squib, his career back to square one. Its better for sai to take his own call, then depending on his famed bro’s moods and pick right script with new director and return to limelight.

RGV’s Next Film: KCR

Director Ram Gopal Varma is at it again. He has dropped another bomb and this time much bigger than before. Varma announced that the title of his upcoming film is “KCR”. RGV wrote on his micro-blogging page, “Naa next picture title ‘KCR'”. And RGV didn’t stop there. Comparing KCR to veteran NTR, RGV said, “‘KCR’ sounding better than ‘NTR'” Expounding it, RGV said, “On every aspect I like the inward sound of a KCR more than the sound of an NTR or a YSR” Varma also said, “Hitler was bad KCR and KCR is a good Hitler.”

Besides this, Varma once again ropes in KCR’s beauty. This time, he compares KCR’s beauty with Samantha, Thamanna and Ileana and says, “Just in the sheer power combination of presence, persona and intensity KCR is more beautiful than Samantha,Thamanna and Ileana put together.”

This is certainly a big salvo from Ramu. Not long ago RGV has “raved” about KCR’s “beauty”, his “Rama” avatar and his “nose”. That even invited wrath from people of Telangana including T-filmmakers. Let’s see how T-town reacts to RGV’s latest announcement. Could anyone get better title than this?
