Puri does it again, but this time with Pawan

March 14, 2012

Crazy director Puri Jagannath has the knack of wrapping up the shooting of big ticket film in relatively less number of working days. He proved that with Mahesh’s ‘Businessman’ and is gearing up to repeat the same magic with ‘Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu’ starring Powerstar

Pawan Kalyan.

Puri announced the release date of ‘Businessman’ on the day of Muhurat and it worked wonders for all the people who were associated with the film. He once again followed the same strategy, but this time with Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu’.

“Though I tried several times to team up with Pawan Kalyan garu who gave me life with ‘Badri’, somehow the plans got delayed due to various reasons. ‘Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu’ is my 25th film as director and I’m very happy to do this film with Pawan. This the story of a news reporter. It is a different action film, which will have all the elements that fans and audience expect from Pawan Kalyan. The regular shooting would kickstart from May 2nd week and the film will be released worldwide on October 18,” said Puri.

Huge expectations were riding on the crazy combo of Pawan-Puri. Let’s wish both of them delivers another smashing hit at the Box Office!!!

‘Businessman’ in Bollywood finalized!!

March 14, 2012

One of the recent bumper hits of Tollywood is ‘Businessman’ and it has reiterated the stand of prince Mahesh Babu as the reigning superstar of Tollywood. In between, there was also a talk that Mahesh would take the same film to Bollywood and mark his debut to capture the hearts of the Hindi audience.

However, here is the latest update. It is heard that ‘Businessman’ has been finalized in Hindi and this would be directed by Puri Jagannadh while the eccentric genius Ram Gopal Varma is the producer. As for the lead, it is heard that Abhishek Bachchan would be stepping into the shoes of Mahesh Babu.

Currently, RGV is busy with giving the final touches to his movie ‘Department’ which is scheduled for a release in May. On the other hand, many are waiting to see who would be taking the place of the saucy seductress Kajal Agarwal as the leading lady for Hindi ‘Businessman’.

Superstar’s Uneasy Moment With Music Director

March 14, 2012

Big stars and directors generally stand first in giving frank opinions about their team and this puts them in a fix sometimes. Our superstar Mahesh Babu had one such moment recently. Here goes the story!

The other day Superstar Mahesh attended a public function where music director Anoop Rubens was another guest. Though Anoop has never worked for Mahesh, there is a connection between them. Popular production house RR Makers signs deals with technicians and actors for a long term, and striking hot Isha Chawla and music-man Anoop are best examples for this. Both need to do five flicks for RR as per the agreement signed.

However, when Anoop is to start work on RR’s ‘Dookudu’, it is Mahesh who has requested for replacement and roped in Thaman. Anoop was heard a little bit disappointed then, with Superstar not believing in his talent and tunes. Later, Anoop rocked the tinsel town with ‘Poola Rangadu’ and ‘Ishq’, and is now coming up with ‘Lovely’. Onlookers shared that Mahesh is uncomfortable to exchange looks with the music director for a while and everything is alright after some time. Superstar’s choices are always different and you should be different to become a Superstar!

Delay Costs Extra 1 Cr. For ‘Vaana..Vaana..’

March 14, 2012

While shooting for the remake of this blockbuster yesteryear song, Yuga Star Ramcharan got injured and there is a pause in shooting. Now, this is going to cost an extra 1 crore for the makers!

As the ‘Racha’ team got plenty of time now to revisit their work with Charan’s unavailability, many thoughts and ideas are flowing in, say sources. The song was supposedly finished except a few dance moves involving just hero. However, the makers are now going for ‘graphics’ rain for the entire song and this is going to cost a cool one crore extra. Top notch technicians who have worked for ‘Magadheera’ are called for, to add CG rain to this prestigious song. Graphical elements like water splashing on the hot body of heroine will come as extra addition now.

Already, cinematographer Sameer Reddy has roped in a Hollywood ‘Colorist’ to work on the final look and feel of the movie. The overall budget for this song has now shot up to 3 crores and the producers look quite comfortable, as they can extract the money easily with ‘Racha’ releasing simultaneously in 3 languages. If the film delays further, we don’t know what idea will strike these makers and too much cooking will lead to a spoiled dish!

Beti B gets her name finally as Aaradhya Bachan !!

March 14, 2012

Ever since the time she set foot on this planet, more than half the world and this entire country has been curious to know her name. In between this, atleast a dozen names were given to her without her knowledge. However, she was tagged as Beti B by her family and now she has got a name.

She happens to be the new member of the most powerful celebrity family in India and is the daughter of the celebrity couple Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Bachchan. Now, the update is that Beti B has got a name and she is called as Aaradhya Bachchan. Sources say this name was registered few days back.

Though there was a lot of pressure from the media and other avenues to reveal the name, the Bachchan family has not budged. So far, an official announcement has also not been made regarding the name. But let us hope that Aaradhya Bachchan is indeed the name.

Racha is a carbon copy of ‘Bunny’?

March 14, 2012

This is the hot gossip that is making rounds in film nagar now. Ram Charan’s Racha storyline is pretty similar to Allu Arjun’s ‘Bunny’ movie, which itself was a mix of various commercial potboilers. Bunny did well at the box office to complete the hat-trick of hits for Allu Arjun. Raghu Babu’s blind comedy and Devi Sri Prasad’s songs played vital role in it.

Sampath Nandi’s subject is strikingly similar to Bunny as Racha too has a flashback involving hero’s father (played by Parthipan) and the hero fights for a social cause (a problem related to Telangana area. In Bunny it was Polavaram Dam issue). Strong buzz is making rounds in film nagar that Racha might end up as average fare at the box office.

Audio hasn’t lived up to the expectations and the trailer looks mediocre and cliched. So a lot will depend upon the comedy factor in this movie. Let’s see if it has the required fuel in that department before believing in these rumors.

Lakshmi Manchu is Samantha’s Mother?

March 14, 2012

Loads of talent is making her the most sought after actress these days. But, What shocks us is that a lady of heroine material is resorting to motherly roles. Folks, this is Lakshmi Manchu for you.

After proving her acting prowess as evil queen Irendri in ‘Anaganaga O Dheerudu’, Lakshmi Manchu entered the big league of women actors. However, the curvy siren is taking careful steps in selecting scripts. Currently, the dusky seductress (off course, she has to prove this angle still) is busy with talented filmmaker Mani Ratnam’s ‘Kadal’ and her own production ‘Gundello Godari’. Reportedly, the tall lady is said to be portraying the role of Samantha’s mother in this Maniratnam flick. Paired alongside action hero and talented Arjun, both the couple are playing a strict middle class parents, say sources.

Generally after watching LP in Ramu’s ‘Dongala Muta’, one expects to see her sizzle in a ravishing role, than an artistic portrayal. But, interesting characterization and magical screenplay by Mani sir made her bend for this movie, it appears. Let us see, how she woes the audience with her ‘acting’ extravaganza!

‘GS’ to answer on ‘Rachcha’ Gossips

March 12, 2012

Absence of Pawan Kalyan at the audio launch event of ‘rachcha’ leaded to several speculations going on air. Apparently Ramcharan and Chiranjeevi tried to come up with the exact reason as why Pawan Kalyan could not attend the function but some how when gossips begin to float even truth finds no place for a reasoning. Of course, the only perfect answer to shut these gossips would be see entire Mega Family united on one stage, something like Pawan Kalyan becoming ‘Ratha Sarathi’ to take Ramcharan for his engagement venue can be best example.

Coming to present, inner sources say that producer Bandla Ganesh Babu is making sure that ‘Gabbar Singh’ will giver an answer to all the baseless gossips about a divide in Mega family circulating in few media circles. Yes, Ganesh Babu is heard of inviting Chiranjeevi, Ramcharan, Naga Babu, Allu Aravind and Allu Arjun to audio release of ‘Gabbbar Singh’ where Pawan Kalyan will be sitting besides all his family members. Well, this could be the answer….indeed.

Mega Fans Hurry – Prince Fans Worry

March 12, 2012

Celebrations have already begun in Mega Fans Camps much earlier than the release of ‘Rachcha’ and ‘Gabbar Singh.’ From last three to four years, Mega Heroes have lost their strong hold on BO due to competition from heroes like Mahesh Babu and Junior NTR taking BO by a storm reinventing the definition of a ‘Hit.’ Creating new industry records with each film has become common for Prince and best proved are ‘Dookudu’ and ‘Businessman.’

Well, the time has ripe for Pawan and Charan to bring back the lost glory in Mega Camp with ‘Gabbar Singh’ and ‘Rachcha’ respectively. Industry sources and Mega Fans are clearly forecasting the consignment of super hits from Mega Camp in next two months. Obviously, when Mega Fans are hurried for release of above two flicks…with no release from currently dominating hero Mahesh Babu seen in near future, there is a bit of worry for Prince Fans.

Prabhas is the ‘Power Star’ after Pawan Kalyan!!

March 12, 2012

Power star Pawan Kalyan and his fan following needs no introduction. Similarly, his power at the box office and the demand for his movies need no introduction. But there will come a point when Pawan will have to step aside and make way for a suitable replacement. Who will that be?

Well, some of the cine folks say it is going to be young rebel star Prabhas. Among the new age heroes, it is only Prabhas who has a strong connect not just with the masses but also with the family audience and lady audience. Moreover, he is not bound by any caste related fan following as he has fans from all communities.

Just like Pawan, Prabhas has also developed a distinct body language and dialogue delivery which is quite unique. Moreover, the macho factor and ruggedness Prabhas has drives the front benchers crazy. What remains to be seen is whether Prabhas has the charisma that Pawan has. What are your thoughts on this folks.

Bangaram’s Child Artist wants to be Pawan Kalyan’s Heroine

March 12, 2012

Powerstar Pawan Kalyan has an immense and incredibly devoted fan base. Apart from the general public, he enjoys a huge following among the celebs as well. Over the years, we have seen many Actresses, Character Artists and Technicians openly expressing their admiration for Pawan and they would dare to go to any extent for that one chance to work with him. And the people who had worked with him in the past couldn’t resist the temptation of Powerstar. Now, Actress Sanusha (‘Renigunta’ fame) is dying to act with Pawan again.

Sanusha, who had acted as a child artist in Pawan’s ‘Bangaram’ (Heroine’s sister), wishes to team-up with Powerstar again – not as a child artist, but as heroine. “Pawan sir is a big hero in Tollywood, but he never showed any starry tantrums. I had never seen such a humble person in my life. He mingles jovially with everyone and he cares about everyone. It was really nice working with him. I hope, I could really work with him again as his heroine,” said Sanusha.

There might be many stars, but all of them can’t be special. Pawan Kalyan has that aura around him, which no other star could ever achieve. Take a bow Powerstar!!!

‘Gabbar Singh’ creates chaos at Hyd-Vijayawada highway

March 12, 2012

Power star Pawan Kalyan is currently busy with the shooting of his new movie ‘Gabbar Singh’ and this has reached the final stages of its making. Now, it is heard that the film has been causing a major hungama on the congested Hyderabad- Vijayawada national highway.

Sources say the film has been shooting the climax sequences and the highway has been the venue for some breathtaking car chase sequences. This is being done in the supervision of Ram-Lakshman, the fight master duo and the sequence would be the major highlights in the film.

Pawan is pairing up with the seductive beauty Shruti Haasan and though the film is the remake of the Bollywood blockbuster ‘Dabangg’ which didn’t have any notable car chases, it remains to be seen what twist director Harish Shankar has given to the plot to give that extra punch to Pawan fans.
