Fresh Controversy on Sallu bhai’s Ek Tha Tiger

Share
Vikram Vashishtha, who’s the nephew of real life spy (late) Ravindra Kaushik, has sent a legal notice to Yash Raj Films asking them for a special screening of the film. Vashishtha said that his mama, (late) Ravindra Kaushik was sent on a secret intelligence mission to Pakistan. Vashishtha has alleged that the promos of Ek Tha Tiger bear a striking resemblance to his uncle’s experiences in Pakistan and hence his family has sought legal assistance to either have a look at the original script or see the film before it releases nationwide.
It was a sentiment for Sallu Bhai to release his movies on Eid. All his recent blockbusters, Wanted, Ready, Bodyguard released on the same day. We will have to see if this controversy disturbs the sentiment.

Samantha fails to keep her promise

Share
Samantha is away from camera for more than 3 months now due to Skin related problems. The shooting schedules of her current projects Autongar Suriya, Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu, Yeto Vellipothundhi Manasu had gone haywire due to the change in movie schedules.
She recently tweeted that she will begin movie shootings from 20th of this month. More than 5 days passed but she is seen no where on sets. The makers of SVSC hope that she makes it to August first week or else the dates of Mahesh for the movie will go waste.
As of now, she is the only heroine who is having 100% hit ratio (Ye Maaya Chesave, Brindavanam, Dookudu, Eega). But she is not making use of this opportunity fully.

Mass Raja’s waning Mass Image !

Share

Ravi Teja is known for his energetic performances and his unique stlye of spontaneous dialogue delivery, mass dances and attractive dances made him the darling of masses. Right from ‘Idiot’ to ‘Vikramarkudu’, his sensational performances made film makers and masses crown him as ‘Mass Maharaja’ of tollywood. He showed his guts taking on Natasimha Balakrishna more than once and when with ‘Mirapakaya’ he punctured Balayya’s prestigious Parama Veera Chakra everyone started hailing his daring, dashing courageous deeds.
However experts feel that his mass image is waning with string of flops starting from Veera and then continuing with Nippu and Daruvu. His image as hero also has taken a beating as cute upcoming beauties except for Tapsee, refused to be paired with him. Ravi Teja seems to be gripped with failure fears and with that fear psychosis he more than once postponed his new releases, a complete turn around from his earlier dare devilry attitude. He recieved a setback when Puri Jagannath dashed his dreams of starring in Idiot sequel stating the project is not viable. Now all his hopes lies on Puri’s ‘Devudu Chesina Manushulu’ as it has bearing on his mass image and also his future projects. He is also getting ready to show his Balupu with some beauties calling him lovingly ‘Sir Ostara’.

Telangana-War with in War !

Share
Two-Three years back fight for seperate statehood for Telangana reached its peak when all parties, NGOs, Govt officials successfully driving home the need for the state to the ruling UPA dispensation at Center. Had they been united and strong during that time, people could have realised the long cherished dream of Telangana. However UPA which is famous for divide and rule policy weaned away some of the forces to its side, which ultimately fizzled out the heat in the T-Movement.
This has been the problem for Telangana people that whenever they feel that the end is near, political parties take them for a ride. It happened during 60s and 70s when Marri Chenna Reddy’s party swept polls in entire telangana region. Had he stood his ground for seperate Telangana, Center would have granted Telangana as it had no other option at that time. But he sold the aspirations of people of Telangana and the demand for seperate statehood for coveted CM post.
It seems history is repeating as TRS chief KCR, who is hailed as the architect of Telangana, is leading the movement according to his whims and fancies and many feel that he is out only to increase his number of seats and political power so that he can get things in his favor. He completely forgot about seperate statehood and only opens the tap of Telangana movement, instigate peoples feelings only for his political ends. Congress will never grant seperate statehood for the fear of KCR getting all credit and only if it feels that it will atleast win in Telanagna, it will deliver on its promise. It already lost hopes on Seemandhra and don’t want to give Telangana on platter to KCR and lose both the regions, as it will hamper its chances of making Rahul as PM.
Now TRS which is out on a mission to wipe out TDP found new enemy as YSRCP is on its mission to wipe out TRS. In this struggle for existence and war with in war belagured TDP and Babu may get a breather as TRS currently trained its guns on YSRCP.

Balayya Inclusion in UKUP makes any difference ?

Share

Manchu family is eagerly waiting for this Friday to rise as their ambitious project Uu Kodathara Ulikki Padathara is releasing on that day. This is the biggest film ever made from Mohanbabu’s banner. As per the producer, Manchu Lakshmi, the budget of UKUP is Rs 23,86,24,000. This doesn’t include the prints and publicity cost. Also the interest for the finances is not added. The given amount is the cost of production of UKUP which includes post production expenses and remunerations.
This film was planned as a medium budget venture at the start. But with Balakrishna’s inclusion they got the courage to double the estimated budget and are expecting to earn good profits from it. UKUP will have to make at least Rs. 30 crores to breakeven, which means it should score the biggest hit in entire history of ‘Manchu’ movies.
Lakshmi Manchu is confident that audiences would lap this film up as it falls in the league of Chandramukhi and Arundathi. They believe that Balakrishna could make the difference and make it a huge hit. As per the unit members, Balakrishna’s role in this film would be like Rajanikanth’s in Pedarayudu. His screen time is around 20 minutes and the impact of his character would be there throughout the second half.

Vijayashanti’s Violence VS Vijayamma’s Solace

Share

Bonhomie between TRS and YSRCP seems to have ended the moment TRS scraped through with wafer thin margin in Parakal. The shock Koda Surekha gave to TRS left entire top brass of the party shivering and now the battle lines for Supremacy in the Telangana region are drawn. Though Jagan in Jail he is directing his party leaders to go aggressively in the region highlighting issues that are important to people. TRS till now neglected all the basic issues issuing statements that once Telangana is formed all those issues would disappear like miracle and in the moment of heat people believed. Now realisation dawned on them that TRS is not interested in achieving statehood but to increase its seats affecting byelections.

Vijayamma YSRCP’s Leader sought to address Silicila weavers real issues and give them soothing feeling and assurances. YSRCP’s main strategy is assuage, sooth and add cooling edge to the hurt feelings of people and though they don’t address people are mesmerised with their sweet words. Sweet words and sugar coated ones will act instantly than words that spit venom.However KCR’s adopted sister Vijayashanti, yesteryear heroine turned politician seems not to learn this but is under impression that her popularity increases in leaps and bounds in Telangana by spitting venom on Seemandhra people.
She thinks that her telangana popularity is inversly proportional to seemandhra bashing conveniently forgetting the fact that she earned her stardom as people loved and adored her as they treated her as their own family member cutting across regions. People realised her true intentions when she tried politicising deaths of small kids in nilofer hospital, seperating them as telangana and seemandhra. It is time Vijayashanti realise that her aggressive Lady Amitabh image will not do wonders in real life.

Babu’s moral boosters !

Share

Political parties may target him for his two eyed strategy in Telangana and analysts write him off completely after the drubbing his party TDP received in by elections losing its deposits wherever it contested. When he issues any statement promising sops to poor, he will be targeted mocking fun as ‘All Free’ Babu!. His bete noires YS.Vijayamma and YS.Jagan target him with corruption cases and file petitions in Supreme Court.
However SC with its verdit boosting the moral of Chandra Babu many times and even recently it quashed Vijayamma’s petition on Chandra Babu’s corruption. In a strongly worded statement it questioned what it was doing during YSR’s regime and said her petition was politically motivated.
Many may write him off but Babu a keen strategist and modern day Chanakya as he is, has many cards up his sleeve as was seen in his promises to BCs which made BCs to felicitate Naidu hailing his decision. Naidu however must be careful because if he don’t keep his promises to BCs then he will be in for trouble and if he tries to keep his promise then SCs will breath fire. For the present he can claim Supreme Court ‘s judgement as clean chit to him and project himself as the Mr.Clean of AP politics.

Mega ‘Power’ wars in bollywood !

Share

Tollywood film industry is abuzz with news that all was not well in mega family. It all reached boiling point when Megastar gave a miss to Power Star Pawan Kalyan’s Panjaa audio launch along with Ram Charan. Fans of Power Star were aghast when they found that entire Mega Family gave a miss to the function. It was a forlorn sight to watch Power Star standing alone at Panjaa audio launch. However Mega Star along with other family members attended Mega Power Star Ram Charan ‘Racha’ audio launch where Pawan was missing.
Things changed with Power Star as ‘Gabbar Singh’ rewrote all tollywood records as ‘Gabbar Singh’ with his run only stalled by Rajamouli’s Eega when he was aiming to erase ‘Magadheera’ records. During the audio function Chiru gave a statement that all was well and Pawan didnot utter a word. Ram Charan before Gabbar Singh created Racha. Megastar Chiranjeevi planned for grand bollywood entry for his son Cherry with the remake of Big B Amitabh’s ‘zanjeer’. He made all arrangements so that Salman takes special interest in Cherry’s debut film.
In the mean time Power Star decided to take the Mega family ‘Power’ war to bollywood with Konda Krishnam Raju deciding to produce a powerful bilingual in telugu and hindi on Sri Varasiddha Vinayaka Productions Pvt Ltd.He revealed that the film will be a powerful entertainer and will suit Power Star’s style.

Young Tiger scared ?

Share

Fans view Jr.NTR as fearless person who can take on opponents head on however ferocious and powerful they may be. These qualities instantly made him the youth icon and fans started addressing him as Young Tiger. Some feel that his political leanings have given him some immunity to his actions. However many political and movie analysts say that he is scared and is gripped with fear and feeling of insecurity in political as well as movie fronts. Till recently when he scored sensational hits like ‘Simhadri’ and ‘Yamadonga’ he was much sought after by his family party TDP and its chief Chandra Babu Naidu who duly used him for campaigning during 2009 general elections and later conveniently left him in lurch.

Young Tiger in his bid to rewrite tollywood records of Magadheera, aped the film with ‘Shakti’ and later tried ‘Oosaravelli’ both failing miserably. Now he set his sights on Gabbar Singh and Dookudu, second and third positions, and the buzz is he atleast want to reach their with ‘Badshah’.In between he entangled in the web of political tangle with wily Naidu and Natasimha Balakrishna both enjoying the new bond of their children wedding to each other,joining hands to crush Young Tiger.
They successfully killed Young Tiger’s ‘Dammu’ organising bandh in Vijayawada on the day of film’s release dividing the fans and when NTR tried to counter them politically through his friend and MLA Kodali Nani, they quickly cut him to size suspending him from the party. Now even when NTR is ready for patchup with Naidu and Balakrishna, he is viewed with suspicion with bad blood flowing. Surely Young Tiger is scared as any misunderstanding will have bearing on his film career at present.

Mega dreams crashing !

Share
Mega Star Chiranjeevi planned his political entry around 2009 in a perfect manner. Prior to that after becoming Mega Star of tollywood with hardwork and dedication, started Chiranjeevi Blood Bank and participated in many social service activities. When he was awarded Padma Bhushan many thought that he would be taking plunge in politics sooner than later joining Congress Party. However he launched his own party PRP in style and after the election results many suspected that he was used as ploy by Congress Party to split votes of opposition parties to regain power. Those doubts became reality when Chiru merged his party with Congress and became Rajya Sabha MP.
Mega Star aspired to become CM of AP finding it difficult to run the party, he became RS MP and now is aspiring to become Central Minister and thereby curry favors with high command to achieve his CM dream through back door making use of highly volatile situation in the state. However Congress leadership at Center seems to have some other intentions, using Chiru to the core and not rewarding him. They used him during the TN state assembly elections and during AP by elections, IT raids were unleashed at his daughter’s house in Chennai where they unearthed huge cash. All this was may be done at the behest of Congress high command to keep Chiru in check as he is pressuring it with cabinet berth demand. If by chance he takes up the issue, then Cong threaten him with CBI or IT raids!.
Now there has been a talk from his group of MLAs that they would be demanding TTD chief post for Mega Star so that he can take his blood bank services to international level. It has to be seen whether Chiru’s dream of having atleast a post prior to 2014 elections gets fulfilled or not.

He added, “Since I cannot make the sequel, I decide to work with Ravi Teja for another film – Devudu Chesina Manushulu.

Cherry becomes Comedian !

Share

Mega fans and entire tollywood look upon Ram Charan or more lovingly known as Cherry as youth icon, style statement and Young Mega Power Star. However to the dismay of all he is turning nothing more than a comedian. When all other heroes are going hammer and tongs and showing their power in their bid to capture the tollywood throne which once decorated his dad Mega Star Chiranjeevi and whom many believe Cherry is the hier apparent, Cherry is just content with including remix songs from his dad’s superhit films believing that those alone will ensure success.
He feels ‘Magadheera’ became hit due to ‘Bangaru Kodi Petta’ from ‘Gharana Mogudu’ and ‘Racha’ became hit with ‘Vana Vana’ from ‘Gang Leader’. So he is insisting on including hit songs ‘Guvva Gorinka To’ and ‘Subhalekha Rasukunna’from ‘Khaidi No 786’ and ‘Kondaveeti Donga’ in his upcoming film under VV.Vinayak direction in which he is playing dual role for the first time in his career.
Already he finished shooting for ‘Guvva Gorinka’ with Kajal and is keen on finishing ‘Subhalekha’. In his efforts to score success he is becoming comedian in the lines of ‘Allari’ Naresh who included ‘Akasam Lo Oka Tara’ in ‘Seema Tapakai’ and is also including ‘Atto Attama Kuturo’ from Mega Star Chiranjeevi’s ‘Alluda Majaka’ in his upcoming film, as tit for tat to Cherry. His previous film included parodies on hit songs and his upcoming film which is a spoof on tollywood’s top hits is expected to include many more songs.
Many feel Cherry’s line of thinking is flawed because just by including his dad’s superhit songs as remixes alone will not ensure success. Any successful film require strong storyline and perfect coordination in sync in all 24 arts of film making which Magdheera had and to some extent Rachcha. They point out that even if Cherry had included remix in his film ‘Orange’, the result wouldn’t have been different due to weak storyline.
