Ram Charan in Seetamma Vakitlo sequel?

Share

Mega Power Star Ram Charan is taking all his time to hit upon a perfect script to turn the tide back in his favour after his Toofan/Zanjeer left without hitting the success shores. He rejected Karan Johar’s offer to star in Agneepath remake in Bollywood but signed Salman Khan’s venture. Even sources say Ashutosh Gowarikar is planning to take a film with Cherry.

Now one gets an impression that he is starring in Seetamma Vakitlo sequel. It is known that Cherry and Venkatesh are doing a multi starrer under Krishna vamsi’s direction. Currently script work is under way.

Sources say film is closer to Telugu nativity and buzz is it highlights the value of joint family and human relations. Those who heard the line feels Cherry is trying to play safe targetting family viewers and with Venky shaking hands, he too is keen to repeat Seetamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu magic. His Yevadu is waiting in the wings to hit the screens in a spectacular manner.

Naidu Starts Hunger Strike In Delhi

Share

Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu has finally taken up indefinite hunger strike in Delhi as said by him earlier. Terming the move of Congress party to bifurcate Andhra Pradesh as ‘political match fixing’, Naidu started his deeksha today.

The former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister stated that Telangana is not just an issue of AP and Congress party, but it is a national issue that should be looked after by all parties. He supported his idea of fasting in Delhi as he wants to bring attention from national parties and media too. ‘When Seemandhra people are agitating from 70 days, why did the Congress party hasn’t called for any all-party meeting?’ asked Naidu, before starting his indefinite hunger strike.

‘Congress just wants to take political advantage and this T-decision is a match fixing. They didn’t follow any proper procedures to bifurcate the state’, stressed Naidu. The TDP president is actually getting ready to write letters to all parties exposing the opportunistic policies of Congress party.

Pawan’s Heroine Goes Topless!

Share

Isn’t she hot like hell?  Yes she is, but that doesn’t suit for an actress, though it is fine for a model. She is none other than former Miss India Sarah Jane Dias.

The 30 year old seductress is best known to Telugu audiences as a lead girl of Pawan Kalyan’s disastrous flick ‘Panjaa’. While in that flick, the same girl looked like a big letdown for the role of a heroine, but her photo shoots are simply blowing minds of everyone. Posing on the October month cover page of FHM magazine, Sarah took one and all by a surprise by posing topless. She is on death of opportunities in movies at the moment and that might have provoked her to go for such a hot look.

Cine observers feel that Sarah failed to seduce audiences at a time when she is having a couple of movies in hand. Going extra hot on magazine covers now is like catching leaves after hands are burnt.

Uncontrollable damage being done for Pawan

Share

Attarintiki Daredi is probably the only movie that faced all sorts of problems before and after release. Currently going on Samaikyandhra agitation is denting the collections of this film in Seema and Andhra regions. Despite having a record breaking and sensational first week, Attarintiki Daredi is facing huge problems in its second week. Besides agitations and bandh calls, AD is also facing serious problems due to piracy.

The film’s first half was out prior to the release, but still Pawan Kalyan’s star power ensured that it didn’t suffer much due to it. Full film was uploaded on net on the release day itself, but that didn’t stop the film from going on to become the highest grossing Telugu film in first week. But the piracy has gone to a uncontrollable level on the net now. High quality DVD print is uploaded in various torrent websites and this will cause serious damage to the film in coming days.

Piracy effect is clearly visible in US as the film failed to register decent numbers in the second weekend. With these quality DVD rips being circulated at a lightening speed, Attarintiki Daredi will face trouble in AP too. Trade experts expected the film to get steady collections in Dasara vacation, but piracy has gone to a uncontrollable level already and therefore it will be tough for the film to get long run at the box office. However, thanks to its wonderful run in first week, AD will surely bring profits to everyone that invested in it.

Why is Kajal doing that?

Share

She might be most successful heroine and most sought-after in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi film industries, yet Kajal Agarwal is ostensibly in no mood to be part of Telugu films. She has turned down many plum projects recently. Be it Gabbar Singh 2 or Balayya’s Legend or Kamal Haasan-Linguswamy’s project, she is persistently shying away from signing new projects down the south. And also the buzz is that, she is quoting an exorbitant remuneration from producers. Apparently, Kajal is quoting One-and-a-half crore for a film which is forcing producers to look out for alternative options.

On flip side, she is super busy making deals with commercials, endorsements, new showroom launches, and ad shoots. The Magadheera girl has inaugurated Chennai Shopping Mall showroom in Ameerpet, Hyderabad just four days ago and she is back to city on Saturday to launch Kalaniketan Fashion Mall. Also, recently she had participated in VKC footwear ad shoot at Chennai.

The big question is what prompting Kajal to go gaga over commercials contrary to films. The rumour mill is that Kajal is crazy about money and definitely, showroom launches are instant cash sources for her like any other actresses. Also, reports have it that she is focusing more on Bollywood than South. After Naayak and Baadshah, Kajal has not signed any Telugu films. But industry experts say that this may spell doom on her career in Tollywood. Hope, Kajal will change her mind soon and enthrall Telugu audiences soon.

Non bailable warrant for Jeevitha

Share

The Nampally Criminal Court in Hyderabad on Monday issued a Non-bailable warrant against actress-director-producer Jeevitha Rajasekhar. The court has directed so after Jeevitha failed to attend the court hearings twice over a bounced cheque issue.

Apparently, Jeevitha Rajasekhar has borrowed an amount from their family friend and financier Parandhama Reddy with an assurance of two cheques as surety. With a cheque of Rs 36 lakhs bouced, Parandhama lodged a complaint in the Nampally court. With Jeevitha and Rajasekhar failing to attend the court for two consecutive, hearings despite repeated summons to her, and one including on Monday, hence, the Nampally Criminal Court has issued a Non bailable warrant against Jeevitha Rajasekhar.

Court has directed the Jubilee Hills police to produce the accused Jeevitha and her husband Rajasekhar to the court on or beforeNovember 29. However, Jeevitha and Rajasekhar are tight-lipped over the issue.

‘Buddodu’ hurts Harish Shankar

Share

Power Director Harish Shankar says that he loves his heroes like anything. He says he believes in ‘hero worship’ and all his movies will feature heroism elevating scenes and dialogues. He likes to pen dialogues that will instantly catch the attention of those respective heroes. In Gabbar Singh he wrote a dialogue on Pawan Kalyan’s Tikka and that was lapped up by everybody and raised the expectations on the film.

For Ramayya Vastavayya, he came up with ‘Buddodu’ dialogue which raised few eyebrows besides being popular among NTR fans. Harish said that he doesn’t like to hear someone call his hero as ‘Buddodu’. He feels that as a derogatory remark against NTR. Only close associates and fans of NTR are eligible to call him with such names, Harish said. Hence he targeted all others who call him Buddodu in a brutal way… by saying ‘guddaloodadeesi kodatha’.

Buddodu dialogue raised some sort of controversy as many felt that Harish Shankar and NTR gave a retort to TV channels that aired derogatory programs on the latter. Harish Shankar clarifies that he didn’t target any media house with that dialogue. That was written only because of his love towards his hero it seems. We have information that there are many more sensational dialogues in this film that would become talk of the town once the film hits the marquee.

Terrorists who targeted Tirumala, nabbed

Share

The Andhra Pradesh police and their Tamil Nadu counterparts in a joint operation with Octopus commandos successfully nabbed two terrorists in Puttur town of Chittoor district.

The extremists wanted to execute a terrorist attack during the ensuing Brahmotsavams at Tirumala. The terrorists were apprehended from Puttur town, located 35 kilometers away from Tirupati and is at the Andhra – Tamil Nadu border.

Terrorists Bilal and Munna Ismail came to Puttur in the guise of businessmen dealing in old clothes and chicken.  Their plan, as suspected by police, was to place bombs in ceremonial umbrellas that are used in ‘Garudotsavam’ of Lord Balaji.

The two extremists surrendered after 11 hours of gun battle with police. The cops holed up the terrorists who were staying at a house in Puttur. Following their surrender, the terrorists have been shifted to Chennai. One of the terrorists was injured in the gun fight and was treated at the local hospital in Puttur.

The police also freed a woman and two children who were in the custody of terrorists. The two terrorists belong to Al-Mun-Tahim and are suspected to be behind the killing of a BJP leader who goes by the nick-name ‘Auditor-V’.

Satyavani silenced by Telangana newspaper?

Share

The AP NGOs meeting at LB stadium in Hyderabad saw the emergence of a lady leader in support of United AP and it was none other than Satyavani who attained a transformation from a spiritual discourse personality on TV to a vocal speaker in support of Samaykhyandhra sentiment.

But after making her presence for a couple of days later, sources say Satyavani is not to be seen much outside these days and this was after reports of her encroaching activities near Miyapur, running a mineral water plant without permission and other irregularities have surfaced.

This was published by Namasthe Telangana daily with facts and figures and though it was initially thought to be  a false propaganda, eventually sources say that Satyavani didn’t come out in open to even condemn them saying they were rumors and this confirms suspicions about her activities. But some say she is waiting for the right moment to give her side of the story.

Agitators baying for Botsa’s blood?

Share

The agitators in the otherwise peaceful Vijayanagaram seem to be in no mood to relent. If reports are to be believed, then the agitation against Telangana statehood has acquired the dimension of Anti-Botsa tune in his hometown. The anti-feeling towards Botsa has been on a high since a long time and now it reached its peak.

Mobs are prowling over the properties of Botsa and those owned by his vast kith and kin that confirm suspicions that the family has deep roots in corruption. People of his region were already vexed by his endless corruption activities for the last few years and analysts say this is the nail in the coffin.

Media reports suggest that agitators are on their wits end and are practically demanding Botsa to dare enter Vijayanagaram and are shouting abuses saying he is staying in Delhi after quietly extending his support for Telangana! This looks to be the downfall time of Botsa and he must prepare for the worse.

Will Akkineni family repeat Ghattamaneni family history?

Share

Tollywood is filled with a good number of film families and two among them are the Ghattamaneni family and the Akkineni family. In a way, the Akkineni family is more famous due to its vast presence. But now some are wondering if this family will repeat the history of Ghattamaneni family regarding their family heroes.

Many years ago, superstar Krishna introduced his son Ramesh Babu as the hero but despite his best efforts, Ramesh Babu could not shine as a hero. But within no time, Mahesh Babu emerged and he overtook Ramesh. Today, he is a superstar. Now, a similar situation is being anticipated in the Akkineni family.

The time is fast approaching for Akkineni Akhil to make his debut and many in the filmnagar circles are stating that once he makes his debut, he has full potential to overtake step brother Naga Chaitanya and reach stardom. If that happens then history will have repeated or we have to see if Naga Chaitanya can keep ahead of Akhil.

Ram Charan to challenge Mahesh Babu?

Share

More than the competition with Junior NTR it has always been noticed that the race between Ram Charan and Mahesh Babu has always been very intense. In the past, Charan has come up with his release almost at the same time when Mahesh comes with his film. Again, it looks like something similar might happen.

According to sources, the situation of Ram Charan’s ‘Yevadu’ is not looking good given the political situation in Andhra Pradesh. It is heard that producer Dil Raju who has dared to come with ‘Ramayya Vastavayya’ is not keen to do that for ‘Yevadu’. So, the chances are that this film will be pushed to Sankranthi.

If that happens then there is no doubt that ‘Yevadu’ will challenge ‘1-Nenokkadine’ at the box office. But another talk is that Allu Arjun’s ‘Race Gurram’ is also targeting Sankranthi 2014. So, if that comes then maybe ‘Yevadu’ will release early. Either ways, it looks certain that Mahesh will be challenged by Ram Charan.

Charan fans tension & confusion over ‘RV’

Share

Though both Ram Charan and Junior NTR are good friends and catch up whenever possible, it is not the case with their fans. They are hardcore and tend to have a lot of competition amongst themselves. Currently it is heard that fans of Ram Charan are quite tensed and confused over the new film ‘Ramayya Vastavayya’.

The Junior NTR starrer is scheduled to arrive on October 10th but different news is making rounds about that. Meanwhile, it is heard that Charan fans are confused when it will come and in tension if this film will become a hit. Recently Charan scored a heavy flop in the form of ‘Thoofan’ and his ‘Yevadu’ is nowhere in sight.

Reports say Charan fans are seriously praying that ‘Ramayya Vastavayya’ doesn’t release that smoothly and even if it does, it must not work properly. As a hardcore fan, such emotions are quite natural but as of now, any impact on the big films will create terrible losses for the rest in the industry.

Is Power Star a tissue paper?

Share

Power Star Pawan Kalyan’s fan following is well known and Pawanism, his fan frenzy as is known is immeasurable. However there is a feeling that many are using Pawan kalyan’s name as tissue paper. Many are using his name to gain media attention or get offers.

Maverick director Ram Gopal Varma has been using Pawan’s name in his tweets asking him to come to politics with ulterior motives. Mega Power Star Ram Charan and even all other heroes not only from mega family but others are using Pawan’s name. Raviteja used it in Balupu while Puri Jagannath used in Iddarammayilatho.

Nitin is not stopping using Pawan’s name. He is using it in Courier Boy Kalyan after Ishq and Gunde Jaari Gallantayyinde. Now even Manoj, Navadeep, Nikhil are using his name in their tweets.

Even beauties like Praneetha, Kriti Karbanda and now anchor Prashanti are using Power Star’s name. The question is whether they are really referring to him with love and affection or trying to use him as tissue paper.

Top Heroine comments on present politics

Share

For a celebrity, the fan bases will be from different communities, of different political views and with different ideologies. However, all these fans force their heartthrob to talk about some sensitive political issues often.

The other day sensuous beauty Samantha has also undergone same pressure from her fans it appears. Actually she is asked to respond about the political turmoil going on in Andhra Pradesh and also in India. As she happens to be top starlet of Tollywood, we know what Telugu fans will ask for. Of course, Sam is not the one who could respond in an intellectual tone like her colleague Siddharth. Also she could neither deny replying such question as fans will get more hurt. Finally after lot of pampering, Samantha has made comment on present day political scenario.

‘For all those asking about my comments on present day politics, the answer is – no comment’ said Samantha. Well, that’s more of an intelligent answer. Of course, being an actor in India is like living in a glass house, one should not take chances by throwing stones at passerby.

Why This TV Actress Got Squeezed?

Share

Whenever there is a chance for sensationalism, it is not just media but every other agency associated with publicity is using that to the most. The recent arrest of a TV actress of leading daily serials who was caught red-handed prostituting with an aged wealthy businessman is best example for that.

Never in any case, police will reveal the true names and pictures of the girls caught during their raids regarding prostitution. Have we anytime seen any call-girl caught in sex-racket shown openly to media? Have we ever notice police revealing the complete bio-data of those girls? But in our recent incident, Police not only showed the girl to media, though veiled, they also revealed the names of serials she is working for and on what channels those serials are aired. How far this is correct? Where have the morals gone?

With police revealing the name and serials she is working, it is easy for media to come up with her videos and pictures, and make big story of it. News that says two girls are caught prostituting maybe quite weak, but if it is a particular actress caught red-handed, then the story will get huge attention. So everyone made a nice chance of it. Both police who presented that case and media made the best of this TV actress’ episode and squeezed her to a maximum for their own publicity.

When law doesn’t allow them to publish pictures of a raped girl, is not the same that should be applied here too? Though both cases are dissimilar, the concept is to hide their identity such that society will not further torture them with their sympathetic looks and hatred too.

As her identity is revealed now, will someone really gives her a chance in their projects again? Will they offer her a chance without asking her to offer something in return? Can she live peacefully escaping those pouncing eyes while walking in her neighbourhood? What is the use of sending her to rescue home to make her stop prostitution, by crashing whole of her career?

Charan May Not Agree With Jagan

Share

Among the big lot of star heroes we have, Ram Charan is one who can pull amazing openings with his wide spread stardom and fan base. Even such a hero is sitting idle now, without signing any project. Here is an interesting rumour doing rounds in film nagar about his next.

Actually Charan is said to be waiting for his father to approve his next with director Krishna Vamsi. It  happens to be a family story involving three big heroes including Krishna, Venkatesh and Charan. Apart from this project, it is heard that even director Puri Jagannadh is eagerly waiting for Charan to listen to his story. However our mega hero is not giving him time to hear that narration. There happens to be a couple of reasons for this.

Of late, Puri has involved with a couple of loose talks regarding both Charan and his babai Pawan. The director shared with a news paper that Pawan is mediocre to work with, and later said media misquoted him. Recently he stated in an interview that Chirutha was a mistake as he missed to direct Salman then. After rubbing Mega family on a bitter tone like this, why would Charan show interest to work with him?

For now all these stories are just rumours, but we have to see what is really in store both Charan and Jagan. Our mega hero is awaiting Yevadu release, while the director is busy filming chases on Nitin in Spain.

Is Balayya Changing ‘Legend’ Script?

Share

Nandamuri Balakrishna is once again getting ready to give a full mass masala treat to his fans with his latest movie. The flick is tentatively named ‘Legend’ and Boyapati Sreenu happens to be the director. Here is an interesting update we are hearing about it.

A majority of the shooting of this flick got wrapped up already as Boyapati has already shot key action sequences on Balayya, sentiment scenes in flashback and villain scenes related to Jagapathi Babu. The only pending part of the movie seems to be romantic sequences involving lead heroine Radhika Apte and filming of songs. However some unit members shared that some of the climax scenes may go for a reshoot. They say that Balayya asked director to altercate some parts of script, such that it will suit present day political scenario in Andhra Pradesh.

Actually ‘Legend’ is said to be a satire on politics of the day and on some key politicians. With Centre approving Telangana note, Balayya wants to make some changes such that fans will like the new ones better. Let us wait for the movie to find out what real satires Balayya is actually throwing.

Hansika’s fresh controversy

Share

Hansika is going through the best phase of her career right now. With eleven films in her kitty, she’s the most sought after actress in Kollywood and eyeing Tollywood in the same direction. But the 23-yr-old soft-spoken heroine has courted a fresh controversy over the release of a dubbed film of her.

Hansika’s erstwhile Telugu film with Nithin titled Seeta Ramula Kalyanam Lankalo is due for release in Tamil with Rowdy Kottai as the name. Unhappy with the things, Hansika apparently doesn’t want this film to be released at all. She is afraid that it may affect her career and may impact her projects that are in pipeline. What’s irony is that she doesn’t want her own film to be released at all. The rumour is that Hansika has lodged a complaint with South Indian Film Artiste’s Association, asking them to intervene such that the film must not be released in Tamil.

However, the producer Sivaprakasam who has acquired the dubbing rights, say he has legally rights to release the Tamil version. Also he confirmed that Hansika has not signed any deal/legal documents with original producers over the release of dubbed versions. So, he rules out of any hurdles for the release of his film.

Meanwhile, Hansika’s mother is expressing displeasure over the happenings. Also, the original film had been dubbed earlier and released in Hindi as Dushmano Ka Dushman and even Hansika was upset over this then.

But what Hansika needs to understand is that she is giving more publicity to that dubbed film and nothing else. At the end of the day, it’d be a waste effort to fight over petty issues. To release dubbed films cashing on the publicity of stars is not new in industry and this has happened to almost every star. It’s time for Hansika to move on and focus on her present projects. Let’s see how Hansika takes things forward.
