80 lakhs blown up on ‘1’ script?

Share

Industry sources claim that a couple of script writers who shared their ideas for ‘1’ became rich by pocketing more than 80 lakhs in no time as they helped in screenplay of decoding the past of Mahesh’s dilemmma between reality and hallucination (or actually did they confuse the audience).

A shocking bigwig claims that its highest ever money spent on script discussion for a Telugu film since usually, such expenses are restricted to 10 to 15 laksh even for big films. Because, regular payments would be made for official script writer and director, but this is considered an extra expenditure.

Anyhow, all their efforts went in vain and put the producers in loss, whereas these assisting writers fattened their bank balances. What an irony indeed!

Surprise, Mahesh Babu not approached yet!

Share

We have been hearing reports about Mahesh Babu doing a film under Mani Ratnam’s direction. Media reports read that this film is a multi-starrer in which Nagarjuna is playing an important character. However, Mahesh Babu made it clear that no one has approached him regarding this.

Speaking to a daily Mahesh said that he too ‘heard’ about the news of Mani Ratnam’s multistarrer. He didn’t express his willingness to do the film, but said that he is currently concentrating ‘only’ on Aagadu. With this it is clear that Maniratnam is yet to approach Mahesh for his ambitious project.

News about Mani Ratnam, Mahesh Babu’s film surfaced in media in the past too. But that didn’t materialize. This film can surely grab eyeballs if it really happens. Mahesh is currently focusing to get back on track after the setback of 1 Nenokkadine.

Goat a day for Prabhas and Rana

Share

It looks like, both the stars Prabhas and Rana are leaving no stone unturned to get that beefed up look for their princely roles in ‘Baahubaali’ and both the actors are reportedly consuming one goat a day, to put on weight much faster. Along with heavy-loaded works out for 3 hours a day, both the actors are binging huge quantities of non-vegetarian food, to fit into the roles of warrior kings.

Even though, both Prabhas and Rana have well-built bodies but director has insisted them to add 10 to 15 kilos, to look heavier and mighty instead of shaped-frames and stars are obliging him. Since they know its could go down as ‘one of the best roles’ of their careers and giving their best to make it believable and perfect. Whoever said, T-town stars don’t go that extra mile, to get into the skin of their characters, just think again.

Death threats to heroine Sanjana

Share

Bujjigadu fame Sanjana is said to be getting death threats from a person who is known to her from long time. Reportedly the actress complained to Bangalore police that she got death threat from a wood-businessman to whom she has lent 13.5 lakhs as a loan.

Sanajana mentioned in her complaint that she has given 13.5 lakhs to Prasad Malhotra, son of their family friend Rajeev as a loan in 2012. When she asked them to repay the money, initially they borrowed some time and later handed over a cheque to the actress.  However when the cheque bounced, Sanjana reprimanded them strongly to repay the loan immediately for which Malhotras warned the actress with death.

Though the actress tried to solve the issue through a settlement, it seems like the other party is not interested in it.

Pawan wasn’t 100% right

Share

Even though, Pawan Kalyan is known for his frank and fearless speeches and announced that industry is not property of film families at Rey function, but industry bigwigs dismiss it as a wrong assessment as he got his facts wrong. From film studio to theatre, the T-town is ruled by four to five film families who like to promote the interests of actors hailing from those families, whereas non-lineage stars are suffering due to lack of buyers and good theatres.

In fact, Pawan can call-up any of the 20-actors like Tarun, Raja, Navdeep, Tanish, Varun Sandesh and 10-odd upcoming actors like Prince and others, to know first hand, the bleak situation for non-family heroes. More than 250-odd films lying in cans of non-bloodline actors, is clear indication of biased lessees. “Show us any film of son, son-in-law or nephew of the star family being stuck in cans” asks a small budget filmmaker.

Pawan claimed that only ‘talent’ counts and not ‘lineage’ but if these ill-fated actors and directors can’t release their films- how viewers would judge their talent and promote them, because most of the talent is sleeping in 1000’s cans in various  film laboratories. “We would be glad if Pawan tries to help non-lineage stars to get good theatres and make ti level-playing field” he adds.

Ram charan cannot be a mahesh babu

Share

After Pawan Kalyan and Mahesh Babu, overseas audience never considered any of the other Telugu star heroes as real heroes at their box office. Till date only Pawan Kalyan Attarintiki Daredi and Gabbar Singh, Mahesh Babu Dookudu and Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu stand top on charts. Other heroes Ram Charan, Junior NTR, Prabhas, Allu Arjun etc who developed strong domestic market are conducting in innumerable ways to win the trust and thus market of NRI Telugu people.

Through the clash of Ram Charan Yevadu and Mahesh Babu 1 Nenokakdine, overseas public wanted to send a strong message that there is no third hero who won their admiration. Although Yevadu is a blockbuster in AP, it hardly collected one third of business made by 1 Nenokkadine. Domination of Mahesh Babu on Ram Charan was transparently seen in USA. According to the pulse of American Telugu audience, they are demanding freshness in content, conept and not routine formula khichidi.

Ram Charan can never become a Mahesh Babu or Pawan Kalyan with stories of Yevadu, Nayak and Racha.

Samantha! Who is acting in real life?

Share

Slipping tongue has become a natural phenomenon for glamorous heroine Samantha Ruth Prabhu these days. After her ‘regressive’ tweet, this star heroine is now taking shots at ‘make up’ and ‘acting’ of some celebrities.

‘I can’t act in real life too, like few other celebrities are doing’, said Samantha at an event in Chennai. Kollywood is abuzz that Samantha is once again poking her contemporaries from the tinsel town with her useless comments. Also she stated, ‘I’m an actress as long as I wear make-up. But after removing it, I’m a normal girl and never think about the roles I’m playing on silver screen’. On whom Samantha is pointing fingers now? Who is acting in real life as said by this hot heroine?

Miffed by the actress’ thirst to throw punches on others, critics are saying that Samantha is just trying to stay in lime light with her arrogant remarks on others. For now many say that Samantha herself is acting in real life, but feeling that the world doesn’t know who her boyfriend is. Grow up Sam!

Mahesh’s magic diet is out

Share

It looks like, superstar Mahesh is determined to keep up his lean and mean physique, since even after completing shooting for his last film ‘1’, he hasn’t still given up on his diet and workout regimen. And also under the influence of ace physical trainer Kris Gethin, who shaped up enviable bodies of Hrithik Roshan and likes, the T-town star has resolved to stick to his Hi-protein diet.

So no more rice, rotis and biryani, but Mahesh satiates his hunger with an unique powder diet ‘Quina’ which costs around Rs. 750 for 1/4 kg and could be prepared like ‘upma’ and the star has it for breakfast, lunch and dinner too. Now many stars are inquiring about this ‘magic diet’ and intend to take it up and reduce carbohydrate stuff. Quite an healthy thinking indeed!

Game behind yevadu hit talk

Share

Ram Charan is standing as perfect successor to Chiranjeevi by doing wonders at box office with back to back hits. Nonetheless Zanjeer has bit the dust in Telugu and Hindi, the approach of Ram Charan to concentrate on satisfying the fans is disbursing the results. Currently, Ram Charan Yevadu is using the Sankranthi advantage doing miraculous business in Andhra Pradesh confronting with Attarintiki Daredi records in Coastal Andhra territories.

In point of fact Yevadu should have released in mid of 2013. Samaikhyandhra movements, Ramayya Vastavayya and other reasons forced producer Dil Raju for constant postponements. Gradually, the film became stale and Zanjeer effect further killed the interest. The determinate decision of Dil Raju to pit Yevadu against 1 Nenokkadine in Pongal race boosted the confidence and success range of Yevadu. The shaky start of Ram Charan in some areas is now controlled by disastrous talk of Mahesh Babu’s flick. The planning of Dil Raju worked and the gimmick of Anil Sunkara team misfired helping Yevadu to surge from above average to hit level.
