Director Earning Crores Using Telangana ?

Share

Posing as a staunch Telangana activist and saviour of Telangana people working in Telugu Film Industry, Director N Shankar is amassing crores of rupees from a time, says another Telangana based Film director. Accusing N Shankar as a traitor cashing on the sentiments of T-people, director Prem Raj made some strong accusations today before burning his effigy in front of Film Chamber.

After burning the effigy of N Shankar in front of film chamber by calling him as Mr 420, director Prem Raj who made movies like Charmi’s Nagaram Nidrapotunna Vela and Asha Shaini’s Aaksasam Lo Sagam, breathed fire today. Speaking with media, Prem Raj stated that N Shankar is using T-sentiment to blackmail producers and distributors, and is blocking the releases of big movies of Andhra heroes, recently Thoofan, in T-region only to bargain money.

‘Shankar earned crores by making the movie Jai Bolo Telangana. But he cheated T-JAC and other T-leaders without spending income from that flick on betterment of T-people, but saved crores in his pocket’, Prem Raj accused. ‘He is literally blackmailing producers of movies that feature Andhra heroes and earning huge money. Also Shankar is planning to build a studio in Hyderabad and Vizag too’, Prem Raj added. Also he ruled out the possibility of Shankar making a film with Kamal Haasan, and felt that it was a ploy to attract investors and dupe them.

But why is Prem Raj revealing all this suddenly? What has he done when movies like Thoofan are being stopped by Shankar? Prem Raj says, ‘We have all felt Shankar is an intelligent and accepted him as our leader. But we are unable to withstand his crooked politics and money grabbing methods now’.

Mahesh Babu’s Kabzaa on entire…

Share

After Pawan Kalyan if there is any star hero who can guarantee a minimum hit at the box office just by his charisma it is Mahesh Babu. At the same time, even the formula of cinema business has changed these days with maximum theatre release becoming the key.

So, it is natural that when a Mahesh Babu film is on the ramp then the makers will try to book maximum theatres. But the way the makers of ‘1-Nenokkadine’ are functioning it looks like Mahesh will do a total Kabzaa of Andhra Pradesh theatres.
According to sources, it is heard that the 14 Reels Entertainment banner which is producing the film has already booked thousand theatres. Though there is still time for the film to release as it is scheduled for January 10th, 2014 it is heard that the makers don’t want to take a chance.
If this news is true then there is no chance that other films can look at a possible release around Sankranthi time. This would also mean that films like ‘Race Gurram’ ‘Rey’ and others which were targeting the festival time have to move aside.

Pawan Will Create Records On Facebook

Share

Again and again, Powerstar Pawan Kalyan expressed his aversion to join social circuits saying that he got nothing to express to his fans on a daily mode about all the chores he do. But many fans are expecting him to change his thoughts about interacting with fans through digital medium.

But with time, Pawan changed his ways regarding his movies and is now doing flicks continuously to enthrall his fans. Maybe he will also change about social-networking stuff too. It is found that a fake Facebook account that actually claims like an original social page of Pawan Kalyan got more than a million likes. If that is the power of Pawan’s fake account, imagine what will happen if this powerful hero really joins the bandwagon of stars using FB. No doubt, like his industry hit Attarintiki Daredi, Pawan will be scoring new records on Facebook too in many cases.

With other superstars like Mahesh Babu and Prabhas quite active of Twitter and Facebook, let’s hope even Pawan will soon give a euphoric treat for his fans.

Anushka Made A Huge Sacrifice!!!

Share

Among the talented beautiful ladies we have, Mangalore siren Anushka Shetty always takes the top place. In the recent days she is getting praised for her acts that benefit producers a lot. But after watching her other day release, we have to say that in another way.

During the audio release function of ‘Varna’, many biggies have praised Anushka for her dedication and producer-friendly moves. People like Bandla Ganesh said she is darling of producers as she is more committed to her work and enables producers to mint money with her mere screen presence. But in reality, Anushka has made a huge sacrifice by accepting a project like ‘Varna’. No doubt, the cliched storyline and atrocious screenplay of this flick will not make any heroine take up the challenge.

Risking her career daringly, Anushka sacrificed her glorious in-form career for a sick flick that will spoil her popularity for sure. Already there are comments about her silly fights and aunty looks, and this will increase with the film struggling at theatres for few more days. What a sacrifice Sweety!

T-bill to decide Cherry’s fate

Share

After his recent film Zanjeer/Thoophan turned out to be a debacle, Ram Charan Teja is pinning high hopes on his next Yevadu. Though the latter was supposed to release first, it has been delayed due to various reasons including political conditions in the state. And they’re again back to haunt the film’s release.

With UPA 2 adamant in bifurcation of state and taking forward the process haphazardly at a breakneck speed, a pal of gloom descended on the release date of Yevadu which is slated for release on December 19. Going by reports, T-bill is likely to be tabled in State Assembly on December 1 and will be tabled in Lok Sabha (lower house of Parliament) on December 10. If anything goes wrong, either of two regions-Seemandhra, Telangana- is going to witness severe backlash and wrath. This will have an adverse affect on upcoming releases including Yevadu.

Buzz is that considering the prevailing situations, Chiranjeevi has reportedly suggested Charan and Dil Raju to push the film’s release for Sankranthi. Considering his advise, Dil Raju has now made up his mind that the film will be released as per schedule if T-bill is not passed. But if the bill is passed and creates anti flareups, he may push the film for Sankranthi.

It’s too early to say whether T-bill play a spoilsport or may, in fact, overturn Charan’s fortune. Whatever, T-bill is going to decide Charan’s fate by affecting Yevadu’s release.

This Breakup Is Hansika’s Mistake?

Share

For every breakup that happens and for every affair that comes to an end, Tamil superstar Simbu always takes up the blasting. But it seems like this breakup has nothing to do with him now. This time it is his partner who took the call. Check this story.

Much hyped affair of the season is nothing but the love story of Simbu and apple pie beauty Hansika. In a most shocking way, this affair of three months ever since it is revealed to public has come to an end. Though neither of this couple admitted that publicly, Hansika is busy giving indications about the breakup, while her family acknowledged it. But this time, it is not Simbu who called it quits like the way he has done it with Nayantara earlier.

As our hero asked his ex-flame Nayantara to be a part of his next project, it is heard that Hansika has felt insecure and decided to keep a full-stop to their relation. Also, Hansika’s mother is not happy with Simbu from a long time and somehow they too want the split to happen. So, it looks like Hansika has blown horn and put the fire off in this relation, rather Simbu. What say folks?

Varna Movie Review

Share

Untitled

Rating : 1.5/5

Film: Varna
Starring: Arya, Anushka Shetty, Radhika, Siva Karthikeyan
Director: Selvaraghavan
Producer: Prasad V Potluri
Banner: PVP Cinemas
Music: Harris Jayaraj, Anirudh Ravichander

Story

Ramya (Anushka), a doctor falls for Madhu Balakrishna (Arya) who is a lecturer and philanthropic person in the first instance. Ramya proposes Madhu but the latter rejects it though he realizes later. On the other hand, a different story between the two runs parallel in second(fantasy) world where people don’t experience love. Varna (Anushka) here is a tribal girl and Mahendra (Arya) commander chief’s son who woos Varna. The rest forms the story.

Performances

Despite the leads putting in their efforts for their roles, it looked pale on-screens due to the weak characterizations,

Anushka as Ramya has performed well while her characterization as Varna wasn’t etched properly and it’s just not Anushka’s cup of tea.

Arya tried his best for the two characters as Madhu and Mahendra but in vain. Ashok Kumar is noticeable and others filled the screens.

Technical Analysis

Ramji’s cinematography is good and Harris Jayaraj’s musical scores are ear pleasing. Anirudh Ravichander did a fine job for the background score. Action scenes are ordinary while the VFX works are good. Direction is bad, screenplay is terrible, narration is confusing, Editing is inconsistent. Production Values are rich.

Analysis

With a bond love in two different worlds of realistic and fiction, Selvaraghavan has come up with unconventional yet unconvincing storyline. But the script is shabby and terribly executed. The entire plot gets revealed in the first hour and Selva fails to engage the audiences with the proceedings. Screenplay is pathetic and the character developments are quite weak. Also the two stories are loosely connected that the feel goes totally missing. Added to it, the lip sync goes missing for the Telugu version which further tests the patience.

The twists and turns never takeoff or offer us some surprise in this fantasy genre film. In the end, audiences only wonder what exactly is the story!!! PVP Cinemas has spent a bomb on this experimental project. The only positives are lavish technical values and VFX works. Despite 18 months in production, star cast, lavish production values and eccentric director Selvaraghavan, Varna is not worth the wait!!!

Final Verdict

Varna is terribly bad!!!

“Kanna as CM” posters create commotion

Share

Kanna Lakshminarayana

Posters in the streets of Guntur town with photos of the Minister for Transport Kanna Lakshminarayana created commotion in political circles.

Does the Congress cadre, especially Kanna supporters have such indications from the party high command?

It is no secret that there were reports in a section of media, about alleged Kanna Lakshminarayana’s secret meeting with party president Sonia Gandhi. The party high command, which continues to suspect defiant Kiran of creating some embarrassment, has held consultations with some of its senior members from the state, including Kanna Lakshminarayana.

His discreet meeting with party Chief Sonia Gandhi indeed raised many eye brows.  He apparently stayed in an undisclosed private house as well travelled to Sonia’s residence in a private car, news reports alleged. The party high command, which is determined to ensure smooth passage of the T-Bill even in AP Legislative Assembly, wanted to replace Kiran Kumar Reddy as Chief Minister on the eve of the session. Reason:  Kiran’s determination to negate the T-Bill in the assembly.

The party high command doesn’t like to face any such embarrassment as it would remain a ‘blot’ and also enable the Opposition to find fault for not fulfilling the Constitutional obligation, when it comes for discussion in parliament. Hence, it was scouting for alternative candidate who can help the party high command to overcome such a problem. Part of that exercise, it had also sounded another strong ‘Reddy community member and Union Minister Kotla Suryaprakash Reddy, who politely turned down such a responsibility.

Perhaps, he would not like to go down into history pages like his late father, Kotla Surayaprakash Reddy, who got the dubious record of handing over power on platter to Telugu Desam, not once but twice, in 1982 and 1993, by accepting similar challenge. As Suryaprakash Reddy has refused to accept the responsibility, the party high command chose to pick another strong “Kapu” community member like Kanna Lakshminarayana.

CM Kiran seeks support from People

Share

images-39

CM Kiran Kumar Reddy is wisely utilizing the official program Rachcha Banda launched by his government to connect himself with Seemandhra people. He describes them how he is fighting to keep the state united and how his high command has turned down all his appeals in this regard. He is trying to convince the people that he is their savior and Samaikyandhra Champion.

While participating in Rachcha Banda program at Jillellamanda and Kalakada in his native Pileru constituency, he said “I had presented all the facts and figures before Sonia and Rahul Gandhi hoping that they will revoke their decision, but in vain. But, I keep fighting on your behalf until the last minute. Hence, I will ask for your support at the right time and you will have to strengthen my hands,” said CM Kiran to people.

Perhaps, he is asking for favor from people in return to his fight against his party. This means he may be planning to launch his own political party for the sake of Samaikyandhra, though it will be divided very soon. Hence, his intentions are clear that he wants to contest next elections under new flag and wants the people vote for him as a return of favor.

Akhil

Once and for all, this young chap who wants to debut on silver screen very soon ends up giving clarification not just once but thrice. Though Film Nagar is excited all over with the news of him debuting in a geust role in ‘Manam’, here comes a party spoiler.

With heroine Samantha tweeting that a special thing happened on ‘Manam’ sets, most cine lovers confirmed that she might have shared screen with upcoming hero Akhil Akkineni. As ‘Manam’ happens to be a family entertainer that stars three generation heroes of Akkineni family, the idea of roping Akhil along ANR, Nag and Chaitu became a demand from fans. Surprisingly, a couple of sources from Annapurna Studios revealed to a leading newspaper that Akhil hasn’t acted in Manam. Also they confirm that he is not taking any acting job for the flick.

Earlier on two occasions, Akhil himself has condemned rumours of working with a new director once, and with Trivikram later. Looks like, cine lovers are eagerly waiting for the charming boy’s debut and hence all these rumours around him.

Jr NTR’s ‘Joru’ Movie in trouble !

Share

jr-ntr-flexi-jute-647x450

Junior NTR who has everything in him to become the number one star in Tollywood has been going through a bad phase. His much hyped films like ‘Baadshah’ ‘Ramayya Vastavayya’ didn’t really live up to the expectations. But that didn’t deter the young tiger.  Without taking a break, Junior NTR got into the new film with director Santosh Srinivas. This was first titled as ‘Rabhasa’ and then changed to ‘Joru’.

But now there are reports that even this film is in trouble. The shooting was to happen briskly but here is an update.  It is heard that the script work is yet to be completed and is not in proper shape. Though Junior NTR had liked the line and narration it is heard that script was not that appealing and he suggested some changes to Srinivas. Buzz is that the director is working on it now.

The film is produced by Bellamkonda Suresh and it would be a while before the script is ready and shoot begins. At a time when Junior NTR is eager to get back into the system with a big hit, such delays are really painful and testing. Let us hope everything sorts well soon.

Anamika has strong Message says Director

Share
Earlier this year, when Sekhar Kammula was chosen to direct the Telugu remake of Vidya Balan starrer Kahaani, it came as a big surprise. He has never directed a thriller in the past and the concept of the film seemed to be extremely different from what he had done before; however, the director has a strong reason why he chose to do the film.

“The film is an adaptation of Kahaani and I’ve made quite a few changes for the Telugu and Tamil version. The Nirbhaya incident has been one of the major factors which prompted me to take up the film. Moreover, I’ve been closely associated with women empowerment movement. All these factors led me to take up the project and I believe cinema is a strong medium to convey a message. Beyond all the thriller elements in the film, it has a strong message,” the director says.

Nayanthara is playing the lead role and Harshvardhan Rane, Vaibhav Reddy are playing important roles. The film is expected to release soon.

NTR’s Actions May Lead To Strong Reactions

Share

NTR

The mess around the political plans of Junior NTR are yet to be cleared, and if we have to go by reports, it is getting more confused with each passing day. But whatever the decision he is going to take about politics, will polarize him more from his followers which is already happening to an extent since his distancing from Nandamuri family.

For not condemning the usage of his photos of YSR-Congress flexes, for not attending Telugdesam party’s Mahanadu and for not gracing Balayya’s younger daughter’s marriage, it could be drawn that something is seriously wrong between Jr NTR and Nandamuri family.

In the recent days, buzz is getting stronger that Junior is moving pawns to raise his hand in support of YSR Congress party. Big talk is that Jr NTR’s father-in-law (his wife’s father) Narne Srinivasa Rao is about to get YSR-C ticket for either Guntur Loksabha or Chilakaluripeta assembly seat. Also it is heard that Narne requested Junior to campaign for him in the constituency, for which our hero hasn’t given any answer till date.  Actually Narne family is said to be expecting positive answer from our hero.

But giving green signal to campaigning means, Jr NTR will be literally okaying his tie-up with Jagan. However with Jr NTR himself clearing some other time that he is going to stay with his Grandfather’s party, many say that there is no question of him joining hands with Jagan. Else if he joins hands with YSR Congress, some harsh reactions are expected from a clan who patronage Junior enjoys a lot.

NTR takes on Pawan Kalyan again?

Share

NTR  - Pawan

NTR has quickly recovered from the debacle of Ramayya Vastavayya and he is currently focusing on his new movie Joru, which is under production. This film is aiming for summer release and as per some sections of media, this film is targeting for release on May 9th. If that is true, then we might witness another clash of NTR and Pawan Kalyan.

Gabbar Singh 2 is also aiming at the same date and it was already reported by all the media circles. Pawan Kalyan wants to finish off Gabbar Singh 2 in single schedule. He wants this film to release on May 9th. If Gabbar Singh 2 makes it in time, then we have to see whether Joru also comes on that date or gets postponed.

We have seen Pawan, NTR clash for this Dussera, in which Pawan Kalyan scored an industry hit and NTR has tasted a bitter disaster. If they are all set for another clash it would be even more interesting as NTR would want to prove his mettle. Gabbar Singh 2 will be on a high anyway given Pawan Kalyan’s stupendous form at the moment.
