Abbai proposes-Babai disposes

It has been a week that Nayak’s audio was launched, but the speech of RamCharan on that day are still creating waves across. In order to end this all, Mega brother Nagababu made an apology to the media for the Charan’s comments addressing media, “na ventrukatho samanam” on behalf of RamCharan. There has been news on Chiru’s family members that there are disputes between Mega brothers. “Ram Charan might be shook up by these kinds of rumors on our family which made him make such comments. Ram Charan being a youngster is not yet aware of handling these kind of situations in the lives of celebrities” reasoned Nagababu in support of Ram Charan. “Charan wouldn’t have said those words” said Nagababu.
 
“Even the recent gossips that assuming the Dasari’s latest comments are meant to Chiranjeevi, were also so untrue. Dasari never mentioned the name Chiranjeevi. Dasari said those words out of frustration” explained this Mega brother.

KTR’s connection with NTR

Share
Popular dalit leader Knhce Ilayya today revealed the connection between KCR son KTR and great leader and TDP founder NTR, former CM of Andhra Pradesh.
 
Kunche Ilayya showed his rage on TRS president KCR. KCR earned around fifty thousand crores using the sentiment of Telangana, claimed Ilayya. Under the leadership of JAC chairman Gajjala Kantam, there was a meeting held on social telanga in Kalinga bhavan on Thursday. In this meeting, Ilayya said “In order to get a seat in NTR’s party, KCR kept his son at the feet of NTR and named him after NTR as Taraka Rama Rao just to impress the party leader”. He continued “In Telangana, the names usually could be mallayya, ellayya but how come KTR got that name as Taraka Rama Rao, named by his father KCR”.
 
The way KCR responded to the comments “The deaths of Telanga students were just gone waste, instead KCR killing himself would help Telangana a lot” by BC leader Konda Surekha is so unfair. It shows the feudalisitic character of KCR, Ilayya remarked.

Is Charmi’s slap gate real?

Share
The latest rumour going around is that the beautiful female actor Charmme Kaur slapped director Harish Shanker for his alleged misbehaviour. As per the sources, she had gone to meet Harish Shanker, the director of the super hit movie Gabbar Singh and of her upcoming movie with Jr NTR, to discuss with him about her role in this movie which also stars Jr NTR. The director was in an intoxicated condition and he misbehaved with her. This made her furious and she slapped him and immediately left the office.

However, dispelling all rumours, she recently clarified that she did not slap anyone. She also posted on her online account that “As per the rumours doing the rounds I didn’t slap anyone,” and dismissed such rumours as rubbish. The girl, who started her career in the industry at 15 years of age, has acted in numerous Telugu
movies.Her most critically acclaimed movie is Anukokunda Oka Roju, though she also tasted success with Mass, where she starred opposite Nagarjuna.She has also done a movie with NTR called Rakhi which became a hit. She has already made her entry into Bollywood in the film Bbuddah… Hoga Terra Baap, where the lead was played by Amitabh Bachchan.

Meenakshi’s beauty treat to Badshah

Share
Badshah, which stars Jr NTR, will also feature an item number which will be performed by Meenakshi Dixit. Meenakshi Dixit, who was paired opposite Mahesh Babu in Dookudu, was appreciated by all and she became a big hit. This item song which she will be performing is shot in Bangkok. The producers are actually putting in as much money as possible to ensure that the song is shot well and that it becomes a huge hit. As per the sources, they have already spent around Rs Two crores.

The music for this song has been composed by none other than Thaman, whose music in Dookudu had become very popular and a hot favourite with the youth. Meenakshi said that this is a very dancing number, with a lot of energy and the sequence is quite a racy one, which will set the screen on fire. She has already danced to Thaman’s music in Dookudu. Narrating her experience of shooting this song, she revealed that Jr NTR is a very good and a very graceful dancer. She found it very hard to keep up with him and to match her steps with him. But she has tried her best to make this song a good and a different and unusual item number.

The song has a contemporary feel to it so it will easily become popular. She also added that she wants to be associated with only good item songs in order to strengthen her position in the industry and money is not the only consideration.

Dasari turns Nayak’s Khalnayak

Share

Nayak, which is all set for a Sankranti release, is to compete against Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu. However, the veteran Tollywood director, Dasari Narayana Rao has commented that Nayak lacks quality direction and screenplay.

While this is not the first time that Dasari has indirectly expressed his displeasure with the star actor of Nayak Ram Charan, this time he went on to state that the film lacks in quality. He said that these are commercial movies which are lined up for Sankranthi are similar to Rajnikanth’s Baasha. However, when he said commercial movies lined up for Sankranthi, he did not mean Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu as he felt that this movie belonged to a different genre all together. Impliedly, he targeted Ram Charan’s upcoming Nayak.

As it is openly known in the industry about the animosity between Dasari and Ram Charan’s star family,it was obvious that Dasari intended his remarks for Nayak only. However, it is definitely quite unpleasant to see a veteran person mouthing such words for the newcomer and young Ram Charan. It seems that Dasari is stooping low just to express his issues with Ram Charan’s illustrious family. If such is the case,then it is not Ram Charan’s reputation that is at stake but it is Dasari’s reputation that will be affected.

Mystery surrounding Megastar

Share
Till four to five years back Chiranjeevi used to enjoy superstardom in Tollywood film industry and on Silver Screen as Mega Star. The moment he entered into politics floating Praja Rajyam Party and then joining hands with Cong, tampering the verdict of people who voted for him only to become Union Tourism Minister, he lost the respect of even his fans.

Many feel he has become the soft target of many and even small and sundry the moment he entered politics. Right from maveric director Ram Gopal Varma to seniors like Mallemala, Katragadda Prasad and now Dasari Narayana Rao along with his cronies like Natti Kumar have been blasting him for degrading values in Tollywood film industry.

Some feel that people may be jealous of Megastar’s meteoric rise and so started criticising him for one or the other reason, most recent being abolishment of VAT on film industry. It is a known fact that Chiranjeevi is the only cabinet minister from Film Industry in Tollywood till now, which is a matter of pride but Dasari Narayana Rao who was once Union Minister seems to be envious of his success.

Some feel however it is Chiranjeevi’s own doing,as he ignored many of his wellwishers and even his own brother Power Star Pawan Kalyan. Many even say that he encroached huge acres of lands and even the blood bank is in lot of scams. Only a thorough inquiry will unravel the mystery surrounding mega star.

And now comes the tweet from Charmee. She also denied the rumors. Her tweet: “As per the rumours doing the rounds I didn’t slap anyone.. Thanks.”

While the actress kept mum when asked if some one really harassed her.

Rating: 2.5/5.0
Banner: Three Angels Studio Pvt. Ltd
Cast: Ravi Teja, kajal, Richa Gangopadhay, Nara Rohit, Srinivasa Reddy, Jayasudha, Chandra Mohan, Ravi Prakash
Choreography: Raju Sundaram, Dinesh, Lalitha

Art: Sahi Suresh
Fights: Ram-Lakshman
Editing: Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao
Cinematography: Vijay.K.Chakravarthi
Music: Devi Sri Prasad
Producer: Priyanka Dutt
Story-Screenplay-Dialogues-Direction: Parasuram
CBFC Rating: ‘U’
Theater Watched: Prasadz, 8.45 A.M, Screen-2
Release Date: 21-12-2012

Story: Karthik(Ravi Teja) and Sandhya(Kajal) meet in Europe through a friend. Sandhya falls for Karthik in her first sight. They both happen to travel to India in the same Flight. Sandhya tries hard to make Karthik fall in love and finally proposes. Karthik smoothly rejects her saying that he is already married to Vasudha(Richa). What happens after that? How the story ends is what the rest of the movie is about?

Performances: Raviteja is good. He tried a different role and underplayed the emotions well. His growing age is visible on his face. Kajal got a role to perform and she is okay. Richa is okay and performed well in emotional scenes. Nara Rohit impresses in a small cameo. The remaining artists filled the screen. The art work is good. Cinematography is good. Editing could have been better. Music by Devi Sri Prasad is not so impressive, only a couple of numbers are okay. Story is a simple and sensitive one, The Screenplay is good in some places. The Direction could have been better. The production values are rich.

Analysis: After a series of flops Ravi Teja once again experimented with a class story (supposed to be feel good love story). Ravi Teja is badly in need of a Hit Right now, Parasuram who directed Raviteja’s “Anjaneyulu” directed him again. This time he tried a different characterization with complete class/family touch.

Director Parasuram’s last flick was Nara Rohith’s SOLO which was an Average movie liked by many fun lovers; but the Director failed here in generating the required depth and feel in this so called love story. Parusuram’s Dialogues are okay in few scenes. Devi Sri Prasad is definitely not in his shoes in the Music section, all the songs looked passable and “Raccha Rambola” is okay to some extent. The Background score is not up to the mark. Art work by the debutant SAHI SURESH is good, in a couple of songs the sets looked innovative. The Cinematography is good and all the frames looked colourful. It’s has been a long time we have seen the green landscapes of OOTY. The Production values by Three Angels Studio are rich.

M.S.Narayana tried to evoke laughs in the first half but it didn’t last long. Srinivas Reddy was wasted. The complete second half bores you with predictable and dragged Scenes. Nara Rohith is impressive, his characterization was good but he is restricted to a couple of scenes and a prolonged speech(What ever the Director wanted to convey) towards the climax. Movie of this genre need few heart touching scenes, good fun & romance filled love Story and some believable scenes with logic. This movie lacks all of them. The Story and Screenplay are predictable and the Direction is boring in the Second half.

These kind of stories need a romantic Hero who can underplay his character with subtle behaviour. Ravi Teja was a wrong choice. The Heroines have strong character oriented roles but the scope for their performance is lacking in the scenes. Lack of entertainment is a big minus. The first half also has many slow moments. It’s tough to be received even at the ‘A’ Centers also.

Plus: Performances, Cinematography
Minus: Story, Screenplay, Direction

Verdict: Disappointing Class Flick from Mass Maharaja. Avoidable flick ; watch it only if you are a huge fan of Ravi Teja.

Was Sharmila not injured?

Share
Reports said that Sharmila was injured and had to undergo knee surgery. She was advised rest for six weeks, said these reports.

But now astonishing roumers are circulating that she was not really injured and that she faked the injury to withdraw from her ‘Maro Praja Prasthanam’ pada yatra because of her differences with Y S Jaganmohan Reddy’s wife Bharati.

TDP leaders alleged that Sharmila faked the injury because the Congress party and Jagan colluded. They said the knee injury was just minor and doesn’t need so much rest. They said that Congress leaders had requested Jagan to make Sharmila take a break. Some reports also said that Sharmila’s husband Brother Anil Kumar has asked her to take a break for the Christmas.

YSRCP official spokesperson Ambati Rambabu has however dismissed all these reports. He said TDP has stooped down to such level that it was even disputing the surgery and spreading roumers about disputes between Sharmila and Bharati. He also dismissed the charge of collusion between Congress and YSRCP.

The CBI has said that Jagan was arrested in the Vanpic case and there was need for it to investigate into 7 aspects of the case.

Reason behind Rajamouli’s frustration

Share
SS Rajamouli, the famous Tollywood director, had actually started off as a writer for films. It was while
performing this job as a writer that he decided that he wants to be a director; the reason being that he
was quite unhappy with manner in which his writings were executed. He wanted to direct his own films
in order to bring out what he envisaged as a writer. So he became an assistant to Mr Gangaraju on Little
Soldiers. Directing movies came a little later, when he was selected by Raghavendra Rao for making ads
on social awareness for Andhra Pradesh’s government. After that he directed a TV serial followed by
his first film Student No. 1 which became a very successful. The success continued with his second film
Himadri. He has already directed a host of blockbusters like Eega, Magadheera and Vikramarkudu.

However, even today, he is uncomfortable working with stars. He feels that with big stars he will have
to follow the pattern of those stars because he will have a lot of expectations. So he will not be able to
enjoy making the film as he will have to made adjustments according to the star. This is the reason why
he works within his small world. His father tells him that he would have done better if he worked with
stars or directed Hindi films.

Born in Karnataka, he shifted to Andhra Pradesh and later to Chennai. He came from a poor but a
huge joint family. As a kid, he loved to tell stories. He would twist the stories of Amar Chitra Katha and
present it in an interesting manner. He was a good student till 10th standard and an average one after
that. Once, when his father asked him what he wanted to do in life, he replied that he wants to become
a director because he wanted to escape from the eyes of his father. But the reverse happened and his
father fixed him as an apprentice under an editor. Later he became his father’s assistant for writing
stories.

Not only does Rajamouli make love stories in reel life, in real life also he married for love. His wife is
his cousin MM Kreem’s wife’s sister. When he proposed her, she was a divorcee but that did not deter
him. In a lighter vein, he says that he was clever in choosing her as she is the one who handles all critical
situations, takes care of the family and finances ad he is able to devote himself to writing and making his
films.

A lesser known aspect of Rajamouli is that he is pro-capitalism as he believes that wealth, if acquired in a
legal way, benefits the society under you, directly or indirectly.

I am afraid of Big Stars: Rajamouli

Share
SS Rajamouli is one of the most successful and most sought directors in Tollywood today. He is one director who can turn a comedian like Sunil or a tiny creature like Eega to Super Stars. However, the director says he is afraid of directing stars and their image.

In a recent interview, when asked about why he do not direct stars, he said,”I am scared of handling bigger stars. Big stars follow certain set patterns that have made them into superstars. If I have to make a film with them, I have to follow that pattern as money and expectations are at stake. And thus, I will not enjoy making that film. As a storyteller, I will have to make adjustments keeping the star in mind.”

Rajamouli will be very soon directing Prabhas in a historical movie. The preproduction of the movie is currently on and the movie will go on to sets early next year.
