Mahesh Babu Vs Ram Gopal Varma

Share

They are two of a kind and come from a rather contrasting mindset. However, it appears that both tend to have the same following. We are talking about the duo of Ram Gopal Varma and Mahesh Babu and the common platform to gauge their following is the famous social networking site Twitter.

Reports say that the following for both cine members is almost same on twitter. But Mahesh Babu is a top star with handsome looks and huge following whereas RGV is a 50 year old man with only a set of flops in the recent past. So how that is possible? Well, here are few pointers given by some analysts.

They say that Mahesh’s following runs on charisma and brand image, it has more to do with the persona. But in Ramu’s case, it has to do with his philosophy and his ‘Ramuism’ approach towards life, so it is more about the person than the persona. While Mahesh stimulates the adrenalin with his presence, Ramu stimulates the grey cells of the brain with his words.

Why Tabu And Anushka Far From Nag?

Share

Nagarjuna and his reputation among the ladies need no introduction. Given his suave elegance and his perfect charms, there are many who simply faint when Nag is around. And the other strong talk that involves Nag is his ‘friendship’ with two ladies Tabu and Anushka. Both ladies have been quite integral to his life.

However, it is heard that the duo is now staying far from Nag. Sources reveal that Nag who is currently busy with the shooting of ‘Shirdi Sai Baba’ has reportedly requested Tabu and Anushka to keep distance since he didn’t want to give a chance for the creation of gossips and rumours.

Apparently, Nag reportedly feels that some unwanted gossip at this moment brings a bad mark to the devotional flick he is doing which is not advisable sentimentally. Buzz is that both Tabu and Anushka have adhered to Nag’s thoughts and have been keeping away from him.

Rajamouli is Confident on ‘Gabbar Singh’

Share
SS Rajamouli is known for open and uninhibited freedom of expression on Twitter. He is one director who frequently updates on status of his films and also responds to each and every tweet of his followers. From the time of ‘Panjaa,’ the big argumentation seen in many Fans groups and public circles is about the kind of rapport existing between Pawan Kalyan and Rajamouli. Well, a project to shape up in their combination is most awaited but here is Jakkanna who has once again spoke positive about ‘Gabbar Singh,’ the upcoming release of Pawan.
Answering to one of his followers on the opinion of ‘Gabbar Singh,’ he tweeted ‘I don’t base my estimations on what happened in past.either +ve or -ve.harish Shankar is quite capable of exploiting PK’s image.’ That is good to hear and anything positive news on ‘Gabbar Singh’ will truly make Power Star Fans to rejoice.

Hot Hero promoting sperm donation!!

Share
These are the days where everything and anything seems to get coverage and publicity. However, there are times when certain causes are genuine in value and have some use to the society. Currently, one hero has begun grabbing some attention more for his initiative than his hot hunk looks.
He is the beefy hunk John Abraham and this Bollywood star has been promoting and spreading awareness about sperm donation. For starters, he is producing the film ‘Vicky Donor’ which deals with sperm donation. Incidentally, the film has Yami Gautham of ‘Nuvvila’ fame as the heroine.
John from his end has reportedly mentioned that sperm donation is something which needs to be discussed in the open and not behind closed doors. While his initiative looks fine, it remains to be seen whether the conservative Indian society would be in a position to accept such bold gestures.

Ram Charan’s Zanjeer business strategy

Share
We are aware that the makers of Ram Charan’s Bollywood debut (‘Zanjeer’ remake) have been gearing up to spend a whoofing Rs 70 crores on the film. Amit Mehra (S/o Prakash Mehra, who directed and produced ‘Zanjeer’ original) and Reliance Entertainment were jointly producing the remake of this iconic film.
However, the trade pundits have raised doubts over recovery of investments and declared that it would end up as another big-budget failure, pointing out that Charan is not a top star in B-Town and he’s yet to prove his mettle there. Though the analysts say it’s a risky move, the strategy of the makers seems to prove otherwise.
Firstly, the producers are planning to make ‘Zanjeer’ remake a bilingual (Hindi and Telugu). Ram Charan has a huge market in Telugu, on par with any other Top Hero. So, the makers don’t want to miss that advantage. Usually, Charan’s film in Tollywood does a pre-release business of Rs 40-45 crore and the dubbed versions (Tamil and Malayalam) of his films will fetch another Rs 3-5 crore. Approximately, Rs 50 crore can be recovered in the South itself.
When it comes to the Hindi version, the makers want to sell the satellite rights for anywhere near Rs 10 crore, using the brand image of ‘Zanjeer’. Even if the film manages to collect atleast Rs 10 crore in its theatrical runs, the producers will land in the safe zone. For this, they are planning a wide release to recover that amount in the opening weekend itself. Let’s wait and see, if the producers can pull it off!!!

Shriya Doesn’t Want Bitchy Roles!?

Share
The grapevine is strong that sexy siren Shriya is not interested to do some ‘bitchy’ roles though her career is nearing an end. Here goes the story!
Apparently, Shriya has exited from Manoj’s Mr.Nokia after doing shoot for a couple of days long back. Now that the movie has released one can clear expect the role she is favored for. Many are saying that Shriya was offered the role of ‘Sana Khan’, the modern girl who goes on changing boyfriends for the sake of money. The cattish role has not excited our sexy-waist beauty and hence she opted it out then.
However, Shriya hasn’t showed much interest in the other meaty role played by Kriti Kharbanda too, which would have given her lots of scope for performance. ‘If she is ready to shed clothes like a C-grade actress for item songs, why not she is ready for these roles’, an insider quipped. On the other hand, people are saying that it is the remuneration problem that made our sex-bomb to show gates as she demanded a simple 20 lakhs extra for hot hugging scenes. Whatever it may be, air is clear that Shriya doesn’t want bitchy roles!

Anushka become a Main Competitor for Trisha

Share
After moving her sexy body out of Tollywood, curvaceous Arabian horse Anushka is concentrating a lot on the Tamil circuit. Now, she has become a main competitor for petite beauty Trisha in all sorts.
Reports say that Anushka is signing the ‘Brands’ that are endorsed by Trisha previously. Already she had bagged Colgate from our dusky beauty. ‘Trisha’s brands are slowly falling in the lap of Anushka, with the long legged lass going an extra mile for promoting them’ a source says.
While Trisha is glamorous in her campaigns, Anushka can go a bit adventurous with much more voluptuous oomph factor. Right from the days of Billa and Arundati, Anushka has concentrated on her martial arts too, which is now helping her many brand endorsements and films fall under her kitty. The next target of our ‘sweety’ is said to be Trisha’s ‘3 Roses’. Well, this is really a bad news for Trisha and we have to see how will she answer to this sweating caused by Anushka.

This is not the first time Kareena’s pregnancy has become a point of discusiion. Few months back, there were rumors that Kareena was spotted with a baby bump at the Mumbai airport. But later, close sources to the actress refuted such reports.

Old-Heroine In Desperate Need Of Films

Share
Cine charisma is something that binds you over to the audiences without any ‘promotional campaigns’. Our actors who are driving to politics know this better and one such faded heroine is still attempting to woo people by doing a last stint.
After jumping into the TRS party for a cause, Vijayashanti is no more a happening celebrity. Though she mouths some rude comments against political rivals, people are forgetting this actress. To strike the chord again, Vijayashanti is said to be planning to do a film with a social-cause. Two main options in her kitty are Dasari’s ‘Dorasani’ and Gunasekhar’s ‘Rudramadevi’.
According to insiders, the roles in both these films require a bit of excessive physical efforts, which for Vijayashanti may not be possible. But, the actress is trying hard to bag one by pressurizing these two directors, as both the movies deal with the region of Telangana in terms of content. ‘Dorasani’ is about the feudal lords of Nizam state and ‘Rudramadevi’ is a prehistoric flick that deals with the kingdom of Rani Rudrama who ruled the state with the present ‘Warangal’ as a capital. One has to really wonder, if any of these films falls in her kitty.

Later, he himself directed fight sequences in some of his movies like, ‘Kushi’, ‘Johnny’, ‘Gudumba Shankar’ etc. Also, he directed a fight sequence for Chiranjeevi’s ‘Daddy’ movie. His creativity and interest in this department are clearly seen through the picturization of those fights.

Mr.Nookaiah Movie Review – 2.75/5

Share
Review: 2.75/5
Starring: Manchu Manoj, Praneetha Subash, Kriti Kharbanda, Brahmanandam
Director: Anil Krishna
Producer: DS Rao
Banner: Sri Sailendra Cinemas
Music: Yuvan Shankar Raja
Story
Nookayya aka Nokia (Manoj), is a cell phone thief with a good heart and has friends Nampally (Paruchuri Venkateswara Rao) and Chee Chaa (Vennela Kishore). He falls in love with a pub waitress (Sana Khan) and later decides to settle down in life by stealing a large sum. At this point he comes across Anu (Kriti) who is newly married to Kiran (Raja). Kiran gets kidnapped and to rescue him Anu carries 2 crores to give it to the gang. Nokia steals the money but gets cheated by his friend and dumped by lover Sana. He meets Anu again and gets to know her problem and tries to rectify his mistake by rescuing her husband from the gang. What happens to these 4 people forms the rest of the story.
Performances
Manchu Manoj puts a great effort for the film and it can be seen in energetic and rocking dances and fights. Living to his title Rocking Star, he puts up an impressive performance as cell phone thief. Manoj has done amazing stunts with out any body-double and he is the show stealer of Mr.Nookayya.
Kriti Kharbanda bagged a good role and her performance is okay. Sana Khan played other female lead role and looked extremely hot. She played pub waitress who cheats Manoj who is her boy friend. Sana Khan did her bit well and she looked stunning in Pista Pista song.
Raja surprises with his role in the film. The plot revolves around his character and he makes his presence felt with a fresh and rejuvenated look.
Vennela Kishore is wasted, Ahuti Prasad is good, Brahmanandam has a minor yet funny role, Samrat and Prabhas Srinu have done justice
Technical Analysis
Cinematography by B Rajasekhar is on top-notch. The entire film looked colorful and lively. Yuvan Shankar Raja’s musical scores have already earned good applauses and the background score is good and apt. A couple of songs are exceptionally shot.
Story is distinct but the screenplay is predictable and patchy while the narration is mediocre. Debutant Ani’s direction is okay but a racy execution could have brought applauses to the director. Dialogues are hilarious yet regular. Action scenes, chases are well-shot and need a special mention. SFX works are neat. Production values are rich.
Analysis
Mr.Nookayya has unique and distinct story and the neatly etched characters that are appreciable however the director faltered to bring liveliness with the narration. The screenplay is predictable though had a couple of twists and twirls. The first half was patchy but it’s only the interval bang and second half that gains your interest. The climax and twists are the assets of the film. Producers spent lavishly on the film and it was shot in Ultra stylish way. The action sequences and the chases are choreographed much stylishly that keeps you to edge of the seats. The direction was okay but he seemed to have lost grip in narration at times (Especially in the first half). A gripping narration and racy screenplay could have done wonders.
The film has been released in the exam season and we have to see how the audiences receive it.
Final Verdict
Better execution of First-half could have made wonders to Mr.Nookayya. Nonetheless, Manoj lives up to his title Rocking Star!!!

Ram’s Direct Punch To Jr NTR & Charan!!!

Share
Apart from Telugu films being the bone of connection between these three heroes, there is nothing personal between them to take dig at one another. However, a comment made by Hero Ram is said to indirectly targeting these top-stars.
The other day, hero Ram stated that ‘Naaku Legacy la tho sambandham ledu…Records tho assalu pani ledhu… Cinema chesetappudu naaku nachali.. chesaka meeku nachali..anthey’. (I don’t care about Legacy and never mind about records. While working I should like it and after watching you should love it. That’s all). Is he meaning about the doings of our hereditary heroes, is the question of many now. We cannot simply rule out that Ram doesn’t mean anything about Junior or Charan. Given the fact that most Jr.NTR films keep rambling about legacy, legendary background and records, Ram’s arrow is hitting him straight. Even, three film old RamCharan also joined the category of ‘maa naanna, maa taatha.. maa records’ with ‘Racha’ dialogues and song lyrics adding a spice to it.
Wonder, what made Ram to mouth out such dynamite, hitting hard in the hearts of mega-Nandamuri fans! Currently this young hero is coming up with ‘Endukantey Premanta’ under the direction of Karunakaran, which also features milky beauty Tamanna as heroine.

Should Cherry stop spoiling them?

Share
Ram Charan might be feeling the tremendous pressure of reaching the expectations of millions of fans. Filling Chiranjeevi’s boots is not an easy task for anyone. Hence, the young actor is trying his best to make people see his father in him. One of Charan’s tactics to use Chiranjeevi’s name is by remixing popular songs of his megastar father.
Ram Charan has been asking his directors to use Chiranjeevi’s songs in his movies. In Magadheera, Bangaru Kodipetta was remixed and now Vana Vana Velluvaye has been remixed for Racha. Frankly speaking both the remixes didn’t work at all. Keeravani failed to revisit his old tune and Manisharma made a mess out of Bappilahari’s rocking tune.
The beauty of the original songs was spoilt in both the remixes. It is high time for Charan to stop using his father’s songs as the music directors are unable to justice to those. Utmost care should be taken for such attempts and Cherry should be ready to scrap the idea if the output isn’t satisfactory. Why because a failed attempt to remix a popular song will get instant negative feedback from all the corners.

Mahesh Babu in 1st Year Intermediate English book

Share
The craze of Superstar Mahesh Babu is skyrocketing and there seems to be no stopping what-so-ever. The last honour for him is the mentioning of his name in the 1st Year Intermediate English book.
1st Year Intermediate English book, Page no.189, Question no.9 : Mahesh Babu is one of most popular actors. (change to comparitive degree)
In the past, the professors team hired by the government to finalize the syllabus for students, used to avoid including the names of film actors in the test books, fearing caste wars. But Mahesh has changed the entire scenario with his Universal Hero tag.
“The people of all castes and creeds show their admiration towards Mahesh. No one treats him as a hero who belongs to only one particular caste. Mahesh Babu is beyond caste!,” said a noted Director.
There might be many stars, but all of them can’t achieve this rare feat. It’s great to have a star like Mahesh in the Telugu Film Industry. Great going Superstar!!!

Dil Raju finds new Siddarth?

Share
The combo of producer Dil Raju and the southern stud Siddarth has resulted in some noted hits. However, it is now heard that lately both Sidz-Dil Raju are not in good terms. Apparently, Dil Raju usually focuses mostly on youthful subjects and once in a while he comes with a film like ‘Seetamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu’.
As such, he is the one who made Sidz a youth icon. But now due to small issues, the gaps are reportedly widening and Dil Raju feels there is no point in hanging with Siddarth. As a result, sources say he began a massive search to find a new replacement and one person has been found.
He is Gautham, son of Brahmanandam. People may not connect to this but it is heard that Dil Raju got connected to Gautam strongly. As such, Gautam was seen in the film ‘Pallaki Lo Pelli Kuthuru’ few years back and he gave good performance. After a long gap, he came with ‘Vaarevah’ which became a big dud because of wrong placement.
From then on, no one cared about Gautham but Dil Raju has recognised the potential in him. Inside news is that even the talented director Madhura Sreedhar is also planning for a project with him. Maybe Gautham will give a mind-blowing performance or audience will blow their minds watching him. Let us see what happens.

RGV’s ‘Ramayanam’ goes to Kanchi

Share
There is an age old saying in Telugu which goes ‘Katha Kanchiki Manam Intiki’ and right now this is being discussed among few cine folks. The reason for that is the announcement made by the eccentric genius Ram Gopal Varma sometime back about a project titled ‘Ramayanam’.
Sources say this project is almost gone to Kanchi now. Apparently, this involves huge casting and heavy budget so producers are not very keen to come forward. However, it is heard that RGV will wait for a producer to come. If no one comes, he will enter the field and make it in his own way.
But so far no noise has been made. The press note that Ramu gave created a lot of hungama but that has been the case with most of his projects. For now, the only concrete project has been his Hindi movie ‘Department’ which is reaching the final stages of its making. Let us see what comes next
