Tollywood silver screen is getting ready for some special effects and double impacts in the form of Dasara dhamakas and Diwali delights along with Sankranthi sweets. This is also showing a new picture on tollywood silver screen. Most of the top tollywood heroes are planning to scale overseas heights conquering the markets.
 

One will be surprised to know that overseas markets demand and competition is equivalent to that of prestigious Nizam rights. Till recently only Bollywood heroes used to talk about overseas markets but now with the entry of genex heroes Tollywood scenario changes.
 

Now Nagarjuna, Pawan Kalyan are targeting Dasara while Mahesh and Venkatesh together are eying Xmas eve while Ramcharan, Prabhas, NTR, Badshah are fixing next year targets. So fans are in for a full treat of films starting from Damarukam, CGR, SVSC, Nayak, Varadhi, Badshah, Shadow.
 

All the heroes have single point agenda to rake in as much money as possible at box office in the first ten days in record number of theatres. Overseas viewers are deciding to watch the films based on reviews that appear online and so producer is depending on overseas market to sell his hero. That was the reason why one or two overseas distributors now increased to more than ten.
 

There are more than 75 lakhs telugu people in overseas and most of the tollywood films follow bollywood films. The market is revolving around NTR,Ramcharan, Pawankalyan, Mahesh Babu, Allu Arjun, Prabhas, Siddharth. Distribution rights are sold for aroundRs1-Rs5crs for a top star’s film while small budget films quote around Rs 10lakhs.  Magadheera was released in 1500 theatres across 15 countries while Businessman was released in 2000 theatres. Even Eega was released in same number of theatres.
 

Overseas distributors grade heroes according to their craze and as such Mahesh Babu and Pawan Kalyan are in A++, while directors Sekhar Kammula and Trivikram Srinivas got similar grading. Nagarjuna, NTR, Dil Raju, Ram Charan got A rating while Allu Arjun and Prabhas got A -. Gradings are arrived after analysing 10days overseas collections. 10days overseas collections is equivalent to 100days in India.

AP Govt couple of days back announced Nandi Awards and some of the awards not only raised eye brows of movie lovers but also derived scathing criticism from telangana activists and dalit organisations. The Jury declared N.Shankar who directed ‘Jai Bolo Telangana’ as the best director and even awarded the film as the best film in National Integration category. This made one wonder howcome a film that was made to demand bifurcation of state can be given an award for the best film for national integration. Shankar speaking to media said “I am happy that even Govt recognized my efforts.The film Jai Bolo Telangana moved not only commoners but also educated lot. It highlighted the fact that some few investers for their vested interests are dividing wedge between people.I got recognition earlier also but I am more happy with thi snandi. This Nandi is dedicated to telangana people and telangana warriors who lost their lives. I thank the jury for understanding the creativity and feelings of telangana people”

The jury even presented best singer award to peoples singer Gaddar for his song ‘Podustunna Poddumeeda Nadustunna Kaalama’ in the film Jai Bolo Telangana. The moment this news came various Dalit Organisations grew furious and  questioned how come Govt follow double standards slapping cases on Gaddar for Telangana march on Oct 30th and at the same time give awards to him. They demanded if Govt is honest they should arrest those who attacked Gaddar during 1997. They said Govt gave award to the telangana song which highlighted the tribulations of telangana people, but they did not understand people’s problems.

One have to wait for the response from the Govt.

When Rana made his debut with off beat film like ‘Leader’ under versatile director Sekhar Kammula’s direction, everyone praised his guts for chosing a completely different theme for his debut unlike others who select Love Stories as safe bet. When he made his Bollywood debut the very next moment, once again Tollywood fraternity hailed his boldness to take on the best in Bollywood. He atonce made an impression in Bollywood and when he rubbed shoulders with none other than Big B Amitabh Bachchan everyone was in awe with him.

However when news came about his foray into Hollywood and more recently into Kollywood films one wonder whether Rana is planning his career in a right manner or in his quest to prove himself as versatile actor cutting across languages and creativity, running away from success. He did not have any hits in Tollywood with Nenu Na Rakshasi and Naa Ishtam failing miserably at Box Office and is pinning all his hopes on Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum.

Now the Buzz is Rana will play a tribal lord in the period film set in 5000 BC.The film attempts a realistic depiction of the tribal clan that fought hard to protect its habitat and Rana would be heading a small army of spirited and courageous fighters who take on mighty invaders. He will be teaming up with Simu under Selva Raghavan’s direction. Many analysts are of the opinion that he should prove himself in one industry before setting his sights to conquer the world.

Samantha who skyrocked to stardom with in no time after spellbounding all on her debut film ‘Ye Maya Chesave’ turned heat on in Tollywood with films like Brindavanam, Dookudu, Eega with NTR, Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli. The mega success of all these films landed her in sensational projects like ‘Autonagar Surya’,’Seetamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu’, ‘Yevadu’ and others opposite Naga Chaitanya, Mahesh Babu and Ram Charan.

However this Sensuous beauty  walked out of some crazy projects much to the shock of all . She raised many eye browswhen she walked out of Maniratnam’s Kadal and Shankar’s ‘I’  citing dates problems and ill health but after watching her recent moves one couldn’t but think that Samantha is better off with out films.

Samantha realized that it is better to be a brand ambassador for some companies and participate in some shop and showroom openings. She can charge Rs 10lakhs per hour for a showroom opening rather than spend entire day at shooting spot giving her dates in bulk, This was the reason why Sams rejected a golden opportunity opposite Power Star Pawan Kalyan. She told film makers that she wont be signing any new films till she completes current projects. Many are heard commenting if some one contacts her for showroom openings they will definitely get her call sheets immediately.
