Brahmi’s success secret revealed by L B Sriram

Share

Almost all the hit films that Tollywood has seen recently occurred due to the presence of strong comedy tracks and entertaining comedy actors. In that list, the name of Brahmanandam is first. These days, Brahmanandam stands parallel to any other top hero and his screen time is almost similar.

But why people don’t get bored of him?  The secret behind Brahmi’s success was revealed by senior actor L B Sriram recently. Sharing his thoughts, L B Sriram reportedly said that when an actor is at his/her peak if they plan carefully then the rest of their life is secure and good. He reportedly revealed the taste of audience towards comedy has changed.
They are looking for comedians who are very manipulative or show a lot of smartness. And he reportedly stated that Brahmanandam has understood that pulse and upgraded himself as per today’s requirements. This is what has made him successful. Even the variations he shows has also helped him stay in demand.

Will NTR becoming a fool

Share

Even those who are not following Young Tiger NTR’s film career feels that NTR is foolish enough to run after successful directors. This feeling is increasing after he roped in Surender Reddy after Kick, Boyapati Srinu after Simha,Srinu Vytla after Dookudu, Harish Shankar after Gabbar Singh and now Santosh Srinivas after Kandireega.

Many say NTR in his quest for blockbuster roped in successful directors without giving a thought for creativity which resulted in his films with them like Oosaravelli, Dammu, Badshah and Ramayya Vastavayya bombing at the box office. However Kona venkat says NTR is not a fool to take such decisions He said all this happened just due to coincidence. He said NTR planned with Harish Shankar during Mirpakaya time itself.
However due to his busy schedule the film Ramayya Vastavayya came after gabbar Singh. He said before Dookudu release itself Badshah was planned. He said NTR is not starved of success and doesn’t need to run after top directors. He said it was NTR who introduced current top directors like Rajamouli, VV.Vinayak. Even Harish Shankar agrees with Kona Venkat and says Ramayya Vastavayya failure is due to him.

Jagan is free bird Now

Share

The much awaited morning has just arrived now for Jagan Mohan Reddy. Till now the Sankharaavam of Samaikya  is just heard from Hyderabad only. Now onwards its sound is going to spread all over the Andhra Pradesh.

The YSRCP president Mr.Jagan Mohan Reddy who was on conditional bail. One of the conditions is that he should not cross the boundaries of Hyderabad. That why he had to just confine himself to Hyderabad city, though the other leaders are touring all over the state.

One way he was the first politician to start the election campaign in the form of Odaarpu Yatra all the way back four years ago. Though the elections were four years away, as a too early bird he started it.

But one stage that early bird seemed it could not able to catch the votes worms. Now when all the leaders are started campaign in the form of soothing the victims of cyclone, he had to remain calm just watching them.

But when the conditions are relaxed, perhaps he is the most happy man to go all around the state and to get in to the fray of elections.

But the common man’s view point, who ever may win or loose, as the only political party which had stood for the cause of Samaikya (after the CPM which does not possess the same glamour as that of YSRCP among the public), perhaps Jagan might show his might to stop the bifurcation. The Common man wants to give a chance to him to prove his trust.

Flowers on Pawan, Stones on Chiru!

Share

Showbiz is certainly made up of all glitz and glamour. Miraculously, when it comes to politics it’s bumpy ride with all mud, stones and also power and position.

Actor-turned-Chiranjeevi has seen and traveled through both the paths. After achieving super stardom in film industry and gaining a tag as Mega Star, Chiru forayed into politics by floating a new regional political party in Andhra Pradesh. He couldn’t made it as expected and soon after elections, he merged the party in Congress and became Union Minister in the age-old party.

Now, Chiru is going through one of the toughest phases in his life. He has never ever faced such anger, and hatred against him. Chiru’s latest tour to console flood victims in Kakinada and Srikakulam turned out to be bitter experiences for former actor. Anti-T activists attacked Chiru by pelting stones at him on Tuesday. The activists demanded Chiru to quit his ministry and Rajyasabha MP seat immediately.

What’s irony is unlike his politician-brother , Pawan Kalyan who went into politics and came back to his forte-acting is getting accolades and his films are being received well by audience. Pawan is rejoicing his star status and being greeted by flowers and floral garlands after recent back-to-back hits like Gabbar Singh and Atharintiki Daaredi. Whereas, Chiru is at the receiving end  of hatred of Seemandhra people. With general elections around the corner, Chiru is now appears to be in jeopardy. Let’s wait and watch how Chiru will tackle this situation and what are his next political moves need to be  observed.

Who Took Jr NTR’s Package!

Share

Contrary to the most popular belief in tinsel town that Jr NTR is actually eyeing heroines who have scored a brownie with Pawan Kalyan, they say that the actual thing is quite different. There is no question of Young Tiger accepting the ‘package’ of Pawan, but it is vice versa. Here goes the story.

Ever since Attarintiki Daredi scored a blockbuster and went on to become industry hit in Tollywood, many are eagerly waiting to see which movies those two hot ladies will sign. They are none other than Samantha and Praneetha.  The news was out a couple of days back that our Bapu Bomma has signed Jr NTR’s Rabhasa, in which Samantha is playing main lead. With this, there is a widespread publicity that Junior got impressed by AD Package, the Samantha and Praneetha, and booked them for his flick. Responding on the same, ace writer Kona Venkat stated that this is untrue. ‘Jr NTR signed Praneetha much before she is picked up for AD’, said Kona. Also we can understand the fact that Samantha got a three film deal with Bellamkonda, and her first is Jabardasth, while Rabhasa and Bellamokonda Sai’s movie follow.

It seem like Pawan Kalyan has signed Samantha and Praneetha only after Jr NTR has roped them in his movies. So, in one way, we can say that Pawan took Junior’s package, but not Tiger.

Nayantara Got Another Big Star In Kitty

Share

Immediately after her comeback, seductress Nayantara is quite lucky to bag a movie opposite senior hero Nagarjuna. Though her comeback is not as exciting as she expected, here comes an interesting update.

It is already known that senior hero Venkatesh has given nod to director Maruthi for a new-age entertainer. In fact, the young director is known for his stunning boothu movies, but this is a wonderful chance for him to showcase his commercial movie making abilities without any touch of adult content. Reports have that Venkatesh is on the idea of repeating luck factor for this latest movie. Apparently he is chasing heroines for his last movies and worked with Anjali on both occasions. He is now planning to work with lucky mascot Nayantara who earlier joined hands with him for Lakshmi and Tulasi. If this movie happens, then Nayan will be back in big league in Tollywood again.

Apart from these upcoming flicks, Nayan is looking forward for the release of her Kahani remake ‘Anamika’ and Tamil movie ‘Aarambam’ that features Ajith in the lead.

Prabhas’ brother Reveals Marriage Plans!

Share

It’s known fact that Prabhas and Rana Daggubati play siblings in Rajamouli’s upcoming magnum opus Baahubali. While Prabhas is set to tie the knot in 2014, his reel brother Rana says ‘he has no time and right now he is focusing only on shaping up his career.’

Rana’s personal front is as curious as personal life of any actress. He has been dating a girl and Rana himself admitted it sometime back. And after Rana’s sister Malavika got married, all focus shifted on to his marriage and Rana’s wedding news gained momentum.Breaking silence over his wedding plans, Rana said, “I don’t have any marriage plans now. Right now, my focus is on my films. Rudhramadevi and Baahubali make me quite busy till 2015.  And at least till the end of 2014, I can’t take up new projects.”

He said, “When I’m getting married, I’ll tweet about it first so that everyone could know about my marriage.”

Tall and hunk hero Rana Daggubati might be playing a role with negative shades in Baahubali, but he is no doubt gen X star. Irrespective of the impact his films made at Box Office, he has carved a niche for himself. Except Leader, Dum Maaro Dum and Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum (KVJ) which had a moderate success, none of his films turned out money spinners at marquee.

Not bogged by it, Rana is all over the places by juggling with Telugu, Hindi and Tamil films. He is doing a cameo in Ajith’s Arrambam and his Baahubali is being shot in Telugu and Tamil.

Krishna Vamsi who was shocked is now getting ready to pen a new story that revolves only around Mega Power Star Ram Charan.Though it is difficult to rewrite the already okayed story, Krishna Vamsi took the onus upon himself.

Nag stopped Akhil’s debut?

Share

It is quite some time since the talk about the debut of Akkineni Akhil has been making rounds but till now no concrete news has come. Nagarjuna who is unable to transfer his stardom to his kids is having high hopes on Akhil, as per sources.

Recently some buzz about Akhil’s debut was making rounds but here is the update. According to reports, a new film ‘Uyyala Jampala’ is preparing for release and recently the trailer was also released. This is being made by debutante Virinchi Varma and Nagarjuna is producing it. Sources say the story was actually meant for Akhil and he was to make his debut with this subject.
But then, Nag reportedly thought that this kind of role will not give Akhil the right commercial mass hero image as it is more like a family oriented heart touching teenage love story. But since the story was very good, he decided to produce it. So, we have to wait for some more time before Akhil’s debut will take place.

Popular TV actress turns heroine!

Share

Remember Avika Gor, a little girl who shot to fame by her role Anandi in popular TV show Balika Vadhu? After taking a time leap, little Anandi was replaced by older one. And Avika moved onto another serial Sasural Simar Ka.

Now, the Tollywood buzz is she is all set to make her debut as heroine. She is playing the female lead for the first time on silver screen with the Telugu flick Uyyala Jampala.

Starring newcomer Raj Tharun as the male lead, the movie is directed by debutante Virinchi Varma. Interestingly, the film is jointly produced by Nagarjuna Akkineni and P Ram Mohan while D Suresh Babu is presenting the film. For the first time, big wigs like Suresh Babu and Nagarjuna have joined their forces and came to a single platform to produce a small-budget film like this. And this is certainly raising curiosity in tinsel town.

Before she making her T-town debut, Avika has acted in Bollywood films like Morninig Walk, Tezz and Paathshaala where she essayed pivotal roles. T-town filmmakers definitely need kudos for roping in popular Telly actress. The big question is how many of Telugu audience follow Hindi TV serials and how far popularity of Avika helps to boost the promotion of the film. This needs to be seen only after release of the film.

Share

Former Miss India and actress Namrata Shirodkar might have come a long way from her modeling and filmy career which dates back to 1990’s. After tying the knot with superstar Mahesh Babu and turning into mother of two kids Gautam Krishna and Sitara, Namrata has quit acting completely. But she sizzles on the ramp occasionally. And she does it when needed for her dear and near friends. She had recently walked the ramp for her close friend Tarun Tahiliani.

Namrata, who attended a fashion do in Hyderabad recently, told media in a soft-tone, “I’m the first choice to many reputed designers who come to Hyderabad to showcase their collections. I knew most of them for a very long time- since early of my career in Mumbai. Hence, I couldn’t say no to them. Besides this, I choose to stay away from usual fashion shows and parties.”

But mana Dookudu star and Namrata’s hubby Mahesh hasn’t made his ramp debut yet. Is that in store? She grins and reveals her plans with Mahesh, “I’d love to walk the ramp with Mahesh one day,” and complains, “We haven’t get any interesting offer till date. It will happen when an amazing offer comes to us.”

So, does she has any plans to don grease paint again? And any plans to act alongside Mahesh? Reluctant Namrata says she is so busy with her toddlers that she can’t spare time for films.

Anjali should either attend Or get arrested

Share

Telugu beauty Anjali is still finding it tough to attend before a Chennai court in connection with a defamation petition and a cheating case filed by producer Parnjiyam. The Tamilnadu court earlier ordered police to produce the actress before them, even by arresting her, and also issued arrest warrant after she gave a miss a couple of times.

In order to evade an arrest, Anjali has requested the court to allow her more time to attend before them. Reacting on that special plea filed by Anjali, Court stated that it cannot entertain Anjali any further. Also an order declared that the heroine should either attend before court by November 22nd or will be arrested by police if she fails to turn up on that day. Earlier Court issued repeated summons to Anjali but the actress never paid heed to them. The situation is now like she should either attend court or will get arrested without any fail.

Anjali has just completed her latest Telugu movie Masala where she features as heroines beside senior hero Venkatesh for the second time. The actress will be soon taking up promotions for this new film.

What NTR Needs Is Just One Film!!

Share

With Jr NTR not picking up his career to next level, there are many rumours spreading in rife that he is losing out the market. But for a hero of his stature, what all it needs is just one film to take lead in the race. Let us have a look at the already buried figs and possible new spring leaves that can happen in Young Tiger’s present career.

After the stupendous success of Adhurs and Brindavanam in 2010, Jr NTR never scored a hit of that range where there is no mixed talk and there is no question of drop in collections after first weekend. Probably he has chosen couple of bad projects like Sakthi and Dammu, where he believed blindly in directors and hasn’t took  enough care of the demands his fans will expect to get fulfilled through his movies. Now in 2013, NTR scored well with Baadshah, but the film hasn’t made it enough for fans who are waiting for a full meals from a long time. At the same time, Ramayya Vastavayya added to the woes by once again disappointing film lovers with its routine stuff. But why is all this being seen as an end of a top hero? NTR is just passing through a bad phase, and once the clouds are cleared it is going to be sunny again, and his career will spring into flowers for sure.

What matters for NTR at the moment is just one hit. It is not just NTR, but the likes of Pawan, Mahesh, Charan and Balakrishna are all having disappointing and paining flops before they actually scored industry hits. Also Junior is a hero of such stature where he could score records and extract collections irrespective of the season the movie is releasing. Right movie, stuffed with right content and that’s it Junior will be back to track. Many may give advices about choosing directors, but all these blockbuster directors have once delivered duds too, and again they will deliver hits too. So, leave it to Jr NTR and he knows how to keep his fans entertained and happy.

Seemandhra leaders happy on cyclones!

Share

For ordinary people the cyclones are often fatal and they may cause a lot of destruction. But our political people are so great that they can reap the advantages from any of the devastating disaster or destruction.

When the samaikya movement was going on, no Minister or Member of Parliament or MLA is dared to visit his own constituency or area of the state. But when the cyclones affected the state, after one by one the Ministers and Member of Parliaments are taking advantage of it and visiting the affected areas.

This trend started with Telugu Desam President Chandra Babu Naidu, then the Union Minister Chiranjeevi and Now other Union Minister Kavuri Sambasiva Rao. Among these the most effected person is Chiranjeevi. Stones were pelted against him. With this incident people are making comments that  they could take advantage of the cyclone of water but they can’t take the advantage from the cyclone of anger from people.

Bunny Should Extract Two Things Carefully

Share

Race Gurram happens to be the latest movie of Allu Arjun, and he is now being advised to take care of two important things with utmost care. Right now, fighting sequences are being filmed on Allu Arjun and Shyam (Kick move fame) at the moment in Ramoji Film City’s helipad set. Director Surender Reddy is known for coming up with fantastic action episodes in his movies that look technically brilliant and logically hair rising for any film lover.

But what is worrying many cine lovers at the moment is the background score that will elevate the feel of these scenes. With Thaman scoring music for ‘Race Gurram’, everyone will get these kinds of doubts. These days our young music director either gives best songs or best background score. But he is not delivering both together for any movie. Movies like Shadow, Greeku Veerudu and Ramayya Vastavayya are best examples to find this. If songs are hit, then Thaman’s background score is turning mediocre and vice versa.

Stylish star Allu Arjun’s movies are always famous for their super hit audio only. Though his movies failed at box office, music of those flicks stood out and still those songs are being played everywhere often. So Bunny should take extra care in terms of Race Gurram movie and he should extract best songs from Thaman and at the same time he should get a stunning BGM scored for Surender Reddy’s flick. Only if Bunny jumps into scene, Thaman might do justice to these two things.
