He has come out with some logical analysis on why he wants the state to be united.

Every person will have some kind of superstitions and beliefs and celebrities are not immune to them. Everyone will be surprised to know that Power Star Pawan Kalyan too is guided by superstitions though he is enjoying super stardom in Tollywood following the blockbusters like Gabbar Singh and Attarintiki Daaredi.

When Attarintiki Daaredi producer BVSN.Prasad went to Pawan and said he will give statement revealing the collections of the film, Pawan asked him not to do so saying it will only invite the wrath of their enemies. Buzz is even during Gabbar Singh turned out to be a hit, he asked filmmakers to stop publicising the collections report.
Currently Pawan is busy with Gabbar Singh 2. Even in this he is following superstitious sentiment. He is keen on releasing the film on May 11th. Sources say Pawan has special affinity to May 11th as this was the day when he came out of ten years long flops with Gabbar Singh.

Venky’s secret strategy behind multi-starrers

Share

The Tollywood audience is slowly getting exposed to the new form of entertainment through the multi-starrers which are flowing in. This trend was there during the black and white era but after that things changed. But now the multi-starrer concept is back and one man must be thanked for that.

He is none other than victory Venkatesh. It was his proactive nature that resulted in the film ‘Seetamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu’ and recently he teamed up with Ram and came with ‘Masala’. There is also news that Venky will join hands with Ram Charan for one more multi-starrer.
Sources say Venky has a secret strategy which is smart also. He knows that he is suitable for family entertainers but today’s audience also requires some masala, fights and hot romance. So, he feels that having a young hero will fill all those gaps and make the film a better one.
On the other hand, by doing multi-starrers and creating a good combination with young heroes, Venky is also extending his career by few more years because carrying a film alone on his shoulders is not that easy now. This is a good move by Venky and it will be nice if other senior heroes also get into this.

One More chance for Tapsee

Somehow bad luck is haunting this beautiful damsel who is always striving hard to deliver a hit movie in Tollywood. Irrespective of her attempts, she is always getting red flag waved at her. She is none other than Delhi beauty Tapsee Pannu.

Apparently this hot beauty failed to cash on with her latest release ‘Shadow’ that ended up as a dud at box office. Talented performance and ravishing glamour are part of this hot siren who got no qualms for any kind of roles she is offered. There is no flick in her hand at the moment that is awaiting a release. However, the big news is that Tamil flick ‘Aarambham’ is now going to be released in Telugu as ‘Aata Aarambham’. Our hottie is playing a miniscule role in this Diwali released Tamil flick.

As the movie is a big hit in Kollywoood circuits, Tapsee is expecting the flick to do same kind of business in Telugu industry too. If at all the movie ends up as a hit despite the presence of our Delhi glam-doll, then our she will get some more offers in T-town to rock all the way.

18 Cr Deal Pushes Pawan To Pinnacle

Share

For any hero, his craze and box office potential determines the amount of remuneration he should awarded. Talking about it around, we can decide the range of hero basing on his remuneration.

The big news we are hearing in film nagar circles is that Powerstar Pawan Kalyan has finally signed a movie deal that is paying him 18 crores as remuneration. Though it is heard that Pawan’s pay packet for Attarintiki Daredi is between 13-15 crores, the success of that flick post release made everything to change. Noted financiers and now a producer, PVP is heard roping Pawan by signing him for such an  whopping amount. Already token amount is given to our hero, and mutual agreements are signed by both the parties. In that case, this is the highest remuneration any Telugu hero has ever taken and this proves againt that his position is at pinnacle, and in a supreme place to direct Tollywood.

With Gabbar Singh opening doors for big ticket entertainers that click at box office, Attarintiki Daredi silently blasted all records and pushed Pawan into top place without any argument. And after the news of this 18 crore remuneration coming out, many say that he is undoubtely the number one hero of Tollywood, while others are just tailing them at a near position.

Kapoor girl in Gabbar Singh 2!

Share

Heroine hunt for Gabbar Singh 2 is still on. Makers have not yet finalized the heroine for this film which will go to sets from December. Pawan Kalyan wanted to finish this film in a single schedule and therefore the makers are trying for a relatively fresh heroine or a debutante. They don’t want busy actresses as their tight schedules can hamper the shooting progress.

Vaani Kapoor of Shudh Desi Romance is one among the actresses being considered for Gabbar Singh 2 says the buzz. Vaani is making her South debut with Band Baaja Baaraat Telugu and Tamil remake starring Nani. Nothing has been finalized as of now, but Vaani is one among the frontrunners for Gabbar Singh 2.

Coming to the storyline, Gabbar Singh character will remain the same. Pawan Kalyan will be usual self in this film, but this film will have a much better story than Gabbar Singh. The first film was driven by the character of hero, but in the sequel, hero will be part of the story. There will be ample entertainment and also an emotional angle in this film, say sources.

Bunny And Cherry Disappointed A Lot

Share

It always goes like this in film industry. Whenever an actor gets craze or a song gets huge popularity, then people will try to make the most of them. Generally song lyrics turn into film titles, here our makers have turned nicknames of two heroes into the film name.

For starters, ‘Bunny And Cherry’ is the name of an upcoming Telugu movie with quite obvious reasons that they will cash on the craze those names involved the title are having. It is already known that Ram Charan is fondly called as Cherry, our stylish hero Allu Arjun is nicknamed Bunny since childhood. The theatrical trailer of this flick titled ‘Bunny And Cherry’ released the other day, and the output is mind-blowing for the kind of terrible filming and uninteresting narration. Except the point that two heroes, played by Prince and Mahat, gets accidently replaced with each other’s brain, the trailer lacks minimum film-making looks.

If at all we are using some powerful names that are connected with millions of fans, one should ensure that a best output is delivered. If an YouTube short film kind of movie is being made with such a title, it is a different case if the film flops but it will be an insult those big star-names too.

Anasuya Misunderstood : Original Story.

Share

After getting branded as small-screen princess with just one successful show, hot anchor Anasuya reached a top and even rejected an offer in Pawan Kalyan’s industry hit ‘Attarintiki Daredi’ movie. But she dreamt to make it big on silver screen, and undoubtedly her big dreams are crushed into small pieces now. However there is a slight misunderstanding about her debut and here goes the original story.

The big eyed seductress who created a storm in small screen circuits with her riveting skin show in Jabardasth , Anasuya makes it to headlines once again. Success of comedy show ‘Jabardasth’ made this hot lady a household name and even directors ran for her to introduce her on silver screen. But the show-host lady felt like she deserves a strong author backed role to sizzle on silver screen, but not a leg-shaking offers besides a hero of any stature including Pawan. However, Anasuya recently asked her fans about her performance in a small budgeted movie ‘Chinni Chinni Aasa’. This led to big chaos and mix-up in the media

Without getting into facts, some media houses publicized that Anasuya’s acting debut misfired at box office, and this miffed our hottie a lot. One wonders why not even one person in the media has watched that flick to unearth truth. After rejecting all acting offers, Anasuya finally took up the job of dubbing for the heroine in that movie. Other than dubbing, our sizzling anchor hasn’t acted in the flick. That’s the original story folks!

Kajal highest paid Actress

Share

It took everybody by surprised, when pretty actress Kajal reportedly gave a nod to work with relatively newcomer Udayanidhi Stalin, after working with big stars like Vijay, Surya, Karthi in Kollywood. But there is a big reason behind it and it gradually unfolds. She has become the highest paid actress in South India. As she surpassed her colleagues -Ileana (1.5 crore for Snehitudhu) and Trisha (1.6 crore for Tamil-Telugu untitled film femal-centirc film)- as she reportedly pocketed Rs. 1.75 crore for her film opposite Tamil actor Udayanidhi Stalin upcoming Tamil film.

Even though, she had more hits in Telugu including her last release Badshah, but Telugu producers, were reluctant to hike her pay cheque so it just hovered around Rs. 1 crore. But Tamil star and grandson of ex-Chief Minister Karunanidhi realized her potential and offered her a fancy pay packet and she immediately allotted dates for the romantic entertainer. So she has reason to focus more on Kollywood since they understood her full popularity and paying her remuneration which she rightly deserves and justifies her growing popularity.

If T-town dream merchants, don’t change their mindset, she would do more films in K-town, even though big stars like Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh and Ram Charan are willing to share screen space with her. Are top Telugu producers listening?

The talk about friction between Mohan Babu and Chiranjeevi is an age old story and many recall the Vajrotsavam incident to prove their claim. In the recent past, there were few instances when both Chiru and Mohan Babu shared few warm gestures but it looks like the seed of bitterness is still left somewhere.

This was evident during a recent interview that Mohan Babu gave for a TV channel. Sharing his thoughts, Mohan Babu stated “okka cinema hit ayite mukhyamantri…entandi mukhyamantri..adi andarikee saadhyam kaadhu.” He reminded how it was only N T Rama who was able to achieve such a thing.

Referring to Chiru, Mohan Babu said even he is not being cared so who will care about us and added that him and Chiru share good terms.

Not stopping at that, he mentioned about those who tried to spoil the terms between them and got wiped out. All those who were watching this said Mohan Babu gave politically correct statements but there seemed to be a hidden intention to prick Chiru in a different way.

Now, there is news that this film is going to change Tollywood in a big way. It is heard that the reason this statement is being given by the makers is the special highlight. ‘1-Nenokkadine’ has got some stunning chase sequences which were shot at the Lambeth bridge in London.

Though the director is Sukumar who is famous for his psychological angles and relationship based stories, this time he has got into something which is action oriented. Mahesh would be seen as a rock singer. There are reports that the film will be totally filled with action and chase sequences.

The music is by Devi Sri Prasad and it is produced under the banner of 14 Reels Entertainment. It is heard that even Mahesh was involved in many action sequences which were risky and they came out well. We will know if all this is true or not when the film releases in theatres.

All eyes are now riveted on the Delhi meet in a few moments from now and the sources close to CM Kiran say that he will not budge from his views. So the discussion in Secretariat is that whether Kiran Kumar Reddy will return as CM or just as former Speaker or former Ranji Player Kiran often says he went to Delhi with his resignation letter in pocket and had given it once to Sonia Gandhi and also Digvijay Singh

It is a crucial day for Andhra Pradesh as the chief minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy the self styled champion of Samaikyandhra is all set to depose before the Group of Ministers who were conducting last round of consensus for bifurcation of Telangana. If one went by the CM Kiran’s utterances at the Rachabanda program since two days, he is likely to raise the banner of Samaikyandhra once again.

But CM has also given assurance to the congress high command that he will not say anything against Telangana before the GoM. Sources at Union Home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde office say that AP chief secretary, perhaps under the direction of CM, has sent responses on all the 11 issues raised by the GoM favoring united AP and not Telagnana,.CMO officials say that there was nothing wrong in making a case for Samaikyandhra by the state Govt as the head of the Government also echoed the same opinion in public and private.

Bollywood beckons Brahmanandam ?

bramanandam-bollly647x450

Brahmanandam may be veteran with longest innings but he got the Bolllywood calling only now. Although it is very late, Brahmanandam’s talent is recognized with writer Director Anis Bazmee who saw some of Brahmanandam movies and liked his body language and sought to dub him from Telugu movies to Hindi . He says Brahmanandam’s style of acting and transforming himself into the role with an ease was a great plus point and demand in Hollywood.

So now the maker of Singh is Kinng and Welcome etc is now planning at least five comic scenes of Brahmanandam with super stars Anil Kapur and Nana Patekar for his ‘Welcome back ‘a sequel to Welcome ‘.Anis Bazmee says these sequences will be great comic stoppers of the film.

We are all confident that Brahmanandam will act with ease in Hindi as good as in Telugu that the coming king of Telugu will fare well in Hindi industry too. But all the chances are that Brahmanandam will be the proverbial South Indian like Mehamood and Johny Liver in Bollywood films to mock a ‘Madrasee’.

Nandamuri Balakrishna is a well known actor in Tollywood and many respect him out of fear. The filmnagar circles say there are many heroines who have a sense of tension when Balayya is around due to his seniority and powerful presence. But one heroine seems to have broken that barrier and it is heard that Balayya is full happy with this actress.

According to reports, it is heard that Radhika’s professionalism and the way she is handling the scenes with grace has impressed Balayya a lot. So far, his favorite has been Nayantara and he has been recommending her to his films whenever possible. But with Radhika impressing him and the unit members it looks like she might get a flood of chances if ‘Legend’ becomes a hit. The film is directed by Boyapati Srinu and it also has the Bollywood girl Sonal Chauhan as the other heroine.

The lifestyle for heroines who have enjoyed success and fame is not that easy. They are also subject to pressure and competition in a large way.

This Chennai based heroine became a number one heroine in Tollywood and worked with all big heroes right from Chiranjeevi to Mahesh Babu to Junior NTR. But now she has run out of offers and no one is looking at her in Tollywood. This has reportedly put her into some depression.

Vila (Pizza 2) Movie Review – 3/5

Share

Villa-Pizza-2-Movie-ReviewFilm: Villa – Pizza 2
Starring: Ashok Selvan, Sanchita Shetty
Director: Deepan R
Producer: SKN, Maruthi
Banner: Good Cinema Group, Studio South
Music: Santosh Narayan

Story:

Pizza 2: Villa starts off with the funeral of Jebin’s [Ashok Selvan] father played by Nassar, a rich businessman and excellent painting artist. Jebin is a hopeful novelist, who becomes writer according to his father’s wish. After losing entire wealth earned by his father, Jebin comes to know about the Villa in Pondichery and heads to the Villa. Jebin asks his love Aarthi [Sanchita Shetty], a painting student to take a visit to his Villa to have a look on the paintings at the Villa. Here story takes a major turn, when Villa starts unveiling the truths that were never revealed by Jebin’s father Nassar to him. Do watch Villa – Pizza 2 for the hidden secrets. A visual treat with Dolby Atmos…

Performances:

Ashok Selvan lived up to audiences expectations and has delivered a matured performance as a writer. With his dialogue delivery and expressions, Ashok will reach heights if he signs suitable scripts in future.

Sanchita Shetty has done her parts well and as a painting student who is blessed to see such efficient art, her expressions are good.

Naasar and SJ Surya’s cameo are unexpected and fine as well.

Technical Analysis:

Deepan Chakrravarthy has given a promising debut with Pizza 2: Villa, but fails to keep up to the horror quotient compared to Pizza being a sequel, though his screenplay is neat and keeps up to his script.

Santosh Narayanan has sustained his own margins and proved he is unparalleled once again. Pizza 2: Villa audio is already a hit and Santosh has scored an apt background for thriller script.

Deepak Kumar Pathy has excelled with his camera works, which is one of the highlights of Pizza 2: Villa. And VFX works are worth mentioning, especially the scenes of corpse in pre-climax speaks about technical excellence in the film.

As Villa – Pizza 2 is only of 1hr 43mins running time there is no unnecessary glamour segment and perfectly sticks to the script.

Analysis:

Pizza 2: The Villa is more a scientific invention than horror thriller and exactly nothing to do with Pizza. One will surely have a thought of this as Villa – Pizza 2 is being promoted as Pizza sequel and a horror film.

Technical crew of Villa – Pizza 2 lead by director Deepan Chakravarthy has done great job, not only script wise but also visually far above compared to big budget and stardom movies. Director has precisely depicted his research works on positive and negative energies in the initial scenes and the way Ashok Selvan exposes link between his father’s paintings and his life are intelligent.

Compared to first half of Pizza 2, second half garners more attention with high visual effects and disclosing earth shattering truths. Interval bang and climax shot are not to miss aspects. In fact whole movie needs your attention so that you don’t miss the thrill. Real treat if you see the movie without expectations.

Final Verdict: Villa – Pizza 2 – Appealing & Enthralling!!!
