The ongoing agitation for United AP in Seemandhra is taking some really different twists and turns. At one point, TDP leaders warned that Sonia will meet the fate of Indira and Rajeev.

Now there seems to be an act which has taken everyone one aback. There were photos published in newspapers today that at a place called Shankarambadi in Tirupathi, BC cell convenor and other leaders had kept Sonia’s photo in between and were building mud wall around it.

They reportedly said that they are burying Sonia’s dead body here for her announcement of Telangana and proudly displayed their act to media. With this, Congress leaders in Telangana are breathing fire saying such acts are uncalled for and demanded that the culprits be punished!

NTR not getting support from him?

Share

In AP, politics and cinema are like twin brothers and this trend is only growing. It is known that Jr NTR supported TDP and is a part of that party but still TDP couldn’t come to power in 2009 and of late there are speculations that NTR is supporting Jagan and vice versa.

When the distance between Naidu and NTR grew, Jagan’s fans announced that they will support NTR and his films but his last two films such as Dammu and now Ramayya Vasthavayya couldn’t achieve real success and even Baadshah’s performance was so so..

Now his fans are asking whether NTR is being ignored even by Jagan just like Chandrababu and whether his films are not being promoted by his fans. In the process did he lose the fan base in his caste too. Though these are just speculations, then what exactly is the truth?

Mahesh rejects, NTR accepts!

Share

Tamil director Linguswamy has been chasing Mahesh Babu from so many years. In spite of his reluctant chase Linguswamy failed to impress Mahesh Babu. For some reason Mahesh Babu always keeps distant from Tamil directors. Many Tamil directors tried to impress him but their efforts went in vain. Vishnuvardhan, Gowtam Menon are among the directors who chased Mahesh Babu.

Linguswamy is a very good commercial director, who has great command over mass elements. He has made many hits in Tamil, which were also successful in Telugu. Run, Pandem Kodi, Aawara were few of Linguswami’s hits in Telugu. His films like Anandam and Vettai were remade as Sankranthi and Tadhaka and both were successful. Linguswamy has been trying to expand his market by making a movie with Telugu superstar.

He recently met and narrated a single line story to NTR, who is impressed with it. NTR who has been chasing directors that delivered hits in Telugu has agreed to work with Linguswamy for a change. This film will be made in Tamil with Suriya and in Telugu with NTR. Samantha will play the female lead in both the versions. Stay tuned for more details on this project.

Major Draw Back Is Our Banner: Dil Raju

Share

Ace producer Dil Raju has done a post-mortem of divide talk, of course negative talk, that is spread around Jr NTR’s Ramayya Vastavayya since day one. He stressed that the talk became quite positive in last couple of days and cited fifth day revenue as an example of that.

‘Though the result is not of expected range, Ramayya Vastavayya is a commercial hit that awards me some profit’, said Dil Raju, adding that there are many reasons for the negative talk. ‘Actually people expect family entertainers from our banner Sri Venkatewsara Creations. As we have got reputation for such film, that became drawback for Ramayya. Though they felt first half is superb, in second half they got upset with action, and dose of violence’, he asserts. Also he felt that expectations on director Harish Shankar are also another cause for negative talk.

‘After Gabbar Singh, expectations are huge on Harish and he met them in first half of Ramayya. Audience enjoyed new and never before kind of NTR’s characterization, but got disconnected in second half as Harish hasn’t reached their expectations’, Dil Raju said. ‘With days passing, audiences are calling first half as superb, and second half as good. That will give good profits to us in no time’, he concluded.

Trivikram reveals about Pawan’s direction

Share

Pawan Kalyan is no doubt multi-facted personality. Besides donning grease paint for his films, Kalyan often involves in the making of his films as well. And it’s a known fact by now. He sings a song if he likes to, or he directs stunts or composes dances as he’s master at them and soon he’s going to venture into film production too. And he’s a director and screen writer too where he worked for his film Johnny and Gudumba Shankar. The fact is that he and his films can’t be seen separately. And it’s once again proved with his recent film Atharintiki Daredhi. Here’s the inside thing about the film which revealed by none other than Trivikram himself. Pawan has sent Trivikram out as he was not okaying the scene. Pawan had sent Trivikram out and directed on himself.

When asked about the selection of actress Nadhiya for the pivotal role Atha (paternal aunt) to Pawan in the film, director Trivikram was all smiles.

He shared, ‘After narrating the story to Pawan, his immediate question was who will play the Athar role. I said it’d be Nadhiya. Pawan had given his nod immediately. We have roped in her two years before we start the shooting of the film. By then, she had done only a Tamil film and Nadhiya hadn’t signed even Mirchi. I told the whole story to her over phone and she said okay and I said that I’ll ask her dates once our schedule is planned.’

Writer-director recalled, ‘As soon as Pawan saw Nadhiya on sets, Pawan said our choice was perfect. But while shooting scenes with Nadhiya, I used to laugh out loud due to her dialogue delivery. Since she wasn’t perfect in Telugu, I’d used to laugh whenever she tried to mouth dialogue. Nadhiya complained to Pawan garu that she can’t do the scene if Trivikram is there on sets. Then Pawan took over the charge and sent me out and he directed the whole scene. I came after a while and saw the output and said okay.’

Mohan Babu Eyeing Chiranjeevi’s Movie

Share

Remember those vintage fights between Chiranjeevi and Mohan Babu on silver screen long back, and their public counters recently. That makes both these celebrities always an interesting pair to watch out for. Here comes an interesting update about them.

Manchu Vishnu stated the other day that he will remake ‘Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari’ movie if Charan shows no interest in it. ‘If Charan fails to take up Jagadekaveerudu remake as a legacy, then I will get into that shoes for sure’, said Vishnu. No doubt, Mohan Babu will be producing this movie even if Vishnu is the hero of the flick. In that way, people are saying that Mohan Babu has eyed on Chiru’s blockbuster movie directed by veteran K Raghavendra Rao. For now we have seen Vishnu’s thoughts, but it will be interesting to see if Mohan Babu too feels that he should remake that movie.

But all these pep talks are surely worrying Mega fans who are out there waiting to see Charan get into Chiru’s suit at least with movies like Khaidi, Gangleader and Jagadadekaveerudu. We have to see how Charan responds on Vishnu’s idea.

Yevadu Releasing Worldwide On Dec 19th

Share

Finally, we are hearing from close sources that Ram Charan’s long pending movie ‘Yevadu’ got a date to hit the screens. After missing out many dates in July due to political situation in state, and later due to ‘Thoofan’, right now Dil Raju is keen to release his production venture. However, Dil Raju surprised everyone by making these speculations true and confirmed that Yevadu will be hitting screens on December 19th. ‘Yevadu will be hitting worldwide screens on Dec 19th, and the movie’s Malayalam dubbed version will also releases simultaneously’, says Dil Raju.

Yevadu features Mega Powerstar Ram Charan in the lead, while Shruti Haasan and Amy Jackson are the heroines. Also stylish hero Allu Arjun and beautiful Kajal Agarwal have done a 10 minute guest role in the flick. The movie is Censored already, and the producer says that there are no reshoots and nothing, and the Censored copy will release as it is. Songs scored by Devi Sri Prasad are a big hit already, so we have to wait for December 19th to see what magic Charan will weave visually.

Is he the black sheep behind AD piracy?

Share

Power Star Pawan Kalyan has always known to be a calm and composed person and if he was seen lost his cool then that’s the dooms day we can call. And the gentleman for once lost his cool yesterday. He didn’t take any names but lashed out at all the guys behind Attarintiki Daredi movie piracy.

The movie may have become a super hit so people may have sidelined the piracy that shook the industry, but how can the man who’s put plenty of effort in the making can so easily forget about the issue? At the AD thanks giving meet Pawan gave a big jolt to the TFI with his emotional and angry outburst. Pawan confidently said it (leak of the movie) wasn’t an accidental thing and that insiders have purportedly did that to jeopardize his career.Pawan said that the small names that came out in the piracy issue are but few but there are real bigwigs behind the small faces. So industry talks and gossips lately are pointing to few people, and surprisingly Dil Raju’s name figures in it. Dil Raju had two movies (Ramayya Vasthavayya and Yevadu) waiting for release but has had AD as an major obstacle which could have prompted the producer to turn a movie pirate. If not who else will benefit from AD disrepute and loss is the logic behind people suspicion.

Pawan anyway vowed to bring the crooks into books. This has become high-pitched discussion of Tollywood today! Stay tuned with us as we unearth more details on this!

The men who damaged young tiger!

Share

In Tollywood there are only three stars who can really pull a film to a success at box office irrespective of the weight in the story and other things. They are Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu and Junior NTR. In a way, Junior NTR developed that power before but now he is on a declining mode.

In the last few films of his, the young tiger never got any complaints in terms of his performance and commitment in the role but it is the others who became responsible for damaging him. The Tollywood folks are saying the list will have names of directors Boyapati Srinu, Meher Ramesh, Harish Shankar.

The next place goes to music director Thaman for coming up with bad background score in ‘Ramayya Vastavayya’. Few others are saying it is also few members that NTR is surrounded with who are always praising him instead of giving wise suggestions. Let us hope the young tiger makes amends and scores a hit soon.

Share

Attarintiki Daaredi showed the power of Pawan Kalyan and proved how much Pawan’s film collects once it get a hit talk. Pawan’s market range increased tremendously as the film turned out to be a blockbuster in difficult circumstances.

The film set new records in overseas. Filmmakers who are realising the profits of making a film with Pawan Kalyan are offering huge pay checks to him. They are even offering him partnership in their ventures.

Sekhar Kammula kidnapped?

Share

When he came in with his first set of films, many in Tollywood called him a trendsetting filmmaker and they were sure that he will enter the big level of directors very soon. He is none other than Sekhar Kammula and his films like ‘Anand’ ‘Godavari’ ‘Happy Days’ are always enjoyed by the youth and family audience.

But after that, Kammula has not been able to come with some good films. His other attempts like ‘Leader’ ‘Life Is Beautiful’ failed to evoke response. But after a gap, Kammula again started a new film ‘Anamika’ and that too with Nayantara. During the shooting time, many said Kammula was doing it very quickly unlike his other films.

But till now, no one knows what happened to the film and when it is going to come out. Some are not even sure if the film has completed its shooting or not. With so much happening, some Tollywood members are passing jokes that Kammula got kidnapped so that is why he has disappeared again. It is time Kammula comes out with some statement.

Balayya saved Naidu from big attack

Share

The TDP president Chandrababu Naidu is doing whatever he can to do some damage control for his party and also his image. It was due to his two-eyed policy that the Telangana issue which was never meant to happen has become a reality and the Seemandhra people are paying the price for it.

As a result, whatever initiatives he has been taking up like fasting, Padayatra etc didn’t increase any public confidence. Added to that, when he was fasting in Delhi none from the Nandamuri family came to visit him. This gave a lot of chance for the opposition parties and its allied media sources to attack Naidu mercilessly.

But before things can go out of hand, Nandamuri Balakrishna entered the scene. Finally he paid a visit to Naidu and shared his thoughts with the media too. With Balayya visiting Naidu he has once again reiterated that all is well between the Nara-Nandamuri families and it has also brought relief to the TDP supporters and Nandamuri fans. Meanwhile, the opposition is now searching for other ways to attack Naidu.

‘Buddodu’ bubble burst?

Share

When Harish Shankar released Ramayya Vastavayya teaser, it created a sensation with Young Tiger NTR’s powerful dialogue ‘Buddodu’ creating strong impact sending fans into dizzy. However now after the release of the film, many feel ‘Buddodu’ bubble got bursted due to inept direction of Harish Shankar.

 

Even fans are sadded and they are agreeing that now everyone except fans are calling their hero Young Tiger NTR as Buddodu. They feel the film and especially the dialogue did immense damage to Young Tiger’s image.

 

Fans and even analysts feel that the Buddodu bubble is bursted and it takes some years to get back the image and name,fame intact. Wonder what steps NTR will take in that direction.

Tollywood complaints on sexy Kajal?

Share

There are many girls who come from Mumbai and make their careers in Tollywood. Some of them also become top level heroines and rule the industry. But sometimes few of them forget the root cause for their success and that leads to problems. It is heard that Kajal Agarwal is currently going through that situation.

According to sources, some of the noted names in Tollywood are not very happy with Kajal’s attitude. It is heard that she is demanding very high remuneration along with other perks which will give a big hole to the producers. It is due to the same reason why Kajal lost out on ‘Gabbar Singh 2’ with Pawan Kalyan.

There is also another story that Kajal wants to cut down on her films as she is planning to get married. But some are cutting it short and saying Kajal actually wants to concentrate on her Bollywood career. Which one of all this is true we don’t know but if Kajal is really causing trouble to Tollywood filmmakers then she must change that habit.

Why NTR Got Silent Suddenly?

Share

The NTR we are talking about is none other than Nandamuri Taraka Ratna, and his movies are creating big tremors now.

Till sometime back, Taraka Ratna is the talk of town with movies like Bhaktha Siriyala, Nenu Chala Worst, Vijetha and Eduru leni Alexander being produced simultaneously. He is the hero in all these movies and a couple of untitled flicks are also in production. But irony is that none of these movies are actually hitting screens. Though there is huge gap till the release of Attarintiki Daredi for release of small budgeted flicks, Tarakaratna’s films have not seen light. Some say that a couple of movies are released, but no one knows when they have come and left theatres.

Irrespective of these happenings, NTR is quite silent man. Cine observers feel that Taraka Ratna is not rightly using Nandamuri brand while delivering movies. Maybe it’s high time for him to rethink strategies, chalk out plans such that Nandamuri brand will help him sell well at box office.
