‘Mangalavaaram’ concept poster: Intriguing!
‘Mangalavaaram’ is written, directed and produced by Ajay Bhupathi of ‘RX 100’ fame. Its title reveal poster, unveiled moments ago, doubled up as a concept-reveal poster as well.
Producers Swathi Gunupati and Suresh Varma M (of Mudhra Media Works) and Ajay Bhupathi himself are sparing no effort to make this pan-South India movie (to be made in all major South Indian languages) an unmatched, never-heard-before experience. B Ajaneesh Loknath, who accepts unique non-Kannada films, is composing music.
Thirty different characters are going to make ‘Mangalavaaram’ vibrant, multi-dimensional, and colourful. We have to see what is the story and its span which have necessitated those many roles. The film, on the face of it, doesn’t seem to be based on conventional hero-heroine tracks and such run-of-the-mill elements. If the ingredients are unique, the story can be all the more convincing.
Art director Raghu Kulkarni, sound designer Raja Krishnan (who has bagged a National Award in the past), director of photography Dasaradhi Sivendra and others have been roped in. The cast details will be made official soon.
Mahesh Babu To Become A Police Once Again!
Superstar Mahesh Babu is currently working on his 28th film. He teamed up with Trivikram Srinivas for the third time and there are massive expectations on this project. It is without a doubt one of the most awaited movies in Tollywood and reports suggest that around 30% of the shooting has been wrapped up.
As we know, Pooja Hegde and Sreeleela are the heroines in this film. The latter is going to have a super hit song with Mahesh was well and the latest we hear is that the superstar will be seen as a police officer once again in this movie. If this news turns out to be true, the fans are surely going to have a blast in theatres.
Mahesh became a cop for the first time in ‘Pokiri’ and we all know the records it smashed back in those days. It created a sensation and there is no one who doesn’t like this film. After that, he was seen as a police officer in Sreenu Vaitla’s ‘Dookudu’ and it became a blockbuster. Though ‘Aagadu’ turned out to be a flop, police officer roles have proved to be lucky for Mahesh. He is reportedly donning the police getup after a long time and it will be exciting to see how Trivikram portrays Mahesh as a cop.
Superstar Mahesh Babu and Trivikram Srinivas have joined hands once again after 12 years. Their combination has always given wonderful films like ‘Athadu’ and ‘Khaleja’. #SSMB28 is going to be the third in their combination and there are high expectations on it. P S Vinod will be cranking the camera while Naveen Nooli is the editor. AS Prakash is the art director for this project which is bankrolled under ‘Haarika & Hassine Creations’.
Kangana Blasts ‘Bhikari’ Film Mafia In Series Of Tweets!
Kangana Ranaut is termed as an actress who speaks from her heart by many while there are people who say that she has a lot of attitude and is driven by an agenda. She makes her opinions public through her social media handles and Kangana sent ripples across the internet once again.
When a fan praised her mother for still farming despite having a successful mother, the ‘Ek Niranjan’ actress came up with a series of tweets. She said, “Please note my mother is not rich because of me, I come from a family of politicians, bureaucrats and businessmen. Mom has been a teacher for more than 25 years, film mafia must understand where my attitude comes from and why I can’t do cheap stuff and dance in weddings like them.”
In another tweet, she wrote, “Bhikhari film mafia ne mere attitude to mera arrogance kaha, kyunki main dusari ladkiyon ki tarah giggle karna, item number karna, shaadiyon pe nachna, raat ko bulaaye jaane pe heros ke kamron mein jana yeh sab keliye saaf mana kiya (Because I refused to giggle like other girls, didn’t do item numbers, didn’t dance at weddings and refused to go to heroes’ rooms at nights), they declared me mad and tried to jail me. Is this attitude or integrity?”
She went onto add, “Khud ko sudharne ki jageh woh mujhe sudharna chale hain, lekin chakkar yeh hai ki mujhe apne liye kuch bhi nahi chahiye, maine abhi apna sab girvi rakh ke ek film banayi hai, rakshashon ka safaya hoga (Instead of improving me, they are trying to improve me. But the thing is I don’t want anything for myself. I have mortgaged everything to make one film. These demons will be exterminated). Heads will roll, no one should blame me.”
NTR sacrifices HCA event for his family
RRR is a global sensation now and the names of Rajamouli, Ram Charan, and Jr NTR are resonating in the international circuit now. The film is also in contention for the Oscars in best song category- Naatu Naatu.
Usually, Hollywood Critics Association Awards are regarded as an indicative of awards trends in the Oscars. And incidentally, RRR ended up winning five awards at the HCA. Ram Charan was the special guest for the event and he was flooded with praises by many noted Hollywood celebrities.
Top media outlets took interviews of Charan, and he stood as the Center of attraction at the same. However, Jr NTR missed out on the event.
The void is evident
NTR’s absence was clearly seen from his fans and RRR followers in general. Up until then, all of RRR’s events were attended by NTR, Charan and Rajamouli together. But for the HCA event, only Charan and Rajamouli were in attendance. And the reason behind the same is NTR got caught up with a family emergency following the passing of Nandamuri Tarakaratna. Initially, NTR was schedules to leave to USA two days after Tarakaratna’s passing but had to postpone the plan. He had to stay back with the family in the hour of crisis.
NTR missed a golden opportunity
As a result, NTR missed out on a golden opportunity to stand on the global stage along with Ram Charan. While Naatu Naatu gripped international media, it would’ve been delightful to see the duo of Ram Charan and NTR together on stage but that wasn’t to be.
NTR could’ve shared the fame with Charan had he been there. But the big event – Oscars is set to be held on the 12th of March and NTR is attending the same. Tarak had to miss out on HCA awards for his family and his act of selflessness is to be appreciated.
NTR values Nandamuri family
NTR entered the fim industry as Nandamuri Harikrishna’s son but he wasn’t supported well by the Nandamuri family. Despite attaining superstardom at a young age with Aadi and Simhadri, the Nandamuri family kept him at bay. Only a section of Nandamuri fans owned him as their own.
But NTR worked hard all on his own and succeeded at it. Even now, for whatever reason, NTR is only partially close to the Nandamuri family.
NTR was used for 2009 elections by Nandamuri family and TDP but he was again dissociated later. Regardless, NTR stood by his family at all times and it can be seen now in the case of Tarakaratna’s demise and the subsequent decision to skip prestigious HCA event for his family. This is the respect he has towards the Nandamuri family.
బాహుబలిని అధిగమించడానికి ఆరేళ్లు పట్టిందా?
ఐదు భాషల్లో పాన్ ఇండియా వైడ్ గా సంచలనాలు సృష్టించిన మూవీ ‘బాహుబలి 2’. ప్రభాస్ రాజమౌళి కలయికలో తెరకెక్కిన ఈ సెన్సేషనల్ మూవీ ఐదు భాషల్లోనూ రికార్డు స్థాయి వసూళ్లని రాబట్టి అన్ బీటబుల్ రికార్డ్స్ ని క్రియేట్ చేసింది. అయితే ఇప్పుడు ఈ రికార్డ్స్ కి కాలం చెల్లబోతోందా? అంటే అవుననే సమాధానం వినిపిస్తోంది. బాలీవుడ్ లోనూ ‘బాహుబలి 2’ హయ్యెస్ట్ గ్రాసర్ గా ఆల్ టైమ్ రికార్డ్ ని సెట్ చేసింది. అయితే ఈ రికార్డ్ ని ఇంత వరకు ఏ బాలీవుడ్ సినిమా క్రాస్ చేయలేకపోయింది.
ఇతర భాషల్లో ఇప్పటికే బాహుబలి 2 రికార్డ్స్ తుడిచి పెట్టుకుపోయాయి. కరోనా తరువాత తెలుగులో విడుదలైన ‘RRR’ కన్నడలో విడుదలైన కేజీఎఫ్ 2 కాంతార తమిళంలో విడుదలైన ‘పొన్నియిన్ సెల్వన్’ సినిమాలు ఆయా భాషల్లో ‘బాహుబలి రికార్డ్స్ ని క్రాస్ చేసి సరి కొత్త రికార్డుల్ని సృష్టించాయి. అయితే బాలీవుడ్ లో మాత్రం ఏ సినిమా కూడా బాహుబలి సెట్ చేసిన ఆల్ టైమ్ రికార్డ్స్ ని క్రాస్ చేయలేకపోయింది.
దాదాపు ఆరేళ్లుగా చాలా వరకు స్టార్ హీరోల సినిమాలు విడుదలవుతున్నా కానీ ఏ మూవీ కూడా ‘బాహుబలి’ రికార్డ్స్ ని టచ్ చేయలేకపోవడం గమనార్హం. అయితే రీసెంట్ గా విడుదలైన ‘పఠాన్’మాత్రం ‘బాహుబలి’ రికార్డ్స్ కి హిందీలో ఎండ్ కార్డ్ వేయబోతోంది. వరల్డ్ వైడ్ గా సంచలన విజయాన్ని సొంతం చేసుకన్న ‘పఠాన్’ ఇప్పటికే 1000 కోట్లకు మించి వసూళ్లని రాబట్టింది. బాలీవుడ్ లో హిందీ వెర్షన్ 500 కోట్లకు పైగా వసూళ్లని రాబట్టింది.
మరో 3.5 కోట్లు రాబట్టగలిగితే బాలీవుడ్ లో ‘బాహుబలి’ రికార్డ్ తెరమరుగైనట్టేనని ట్రేడ్ వర్గాలు చెబుతున్నాయి. కోవిడ్ తరువాత బాలీవుడ్ తీవ్ర ఇబ్బందుల్ని ఎదుర్కొంటోంది.
దాదాపు ఆరేళ్లుగా బాలీవుడ్ పెద్దగా రాణించింది లేదు. దీంతో ‘బాహుబలి’ రికార్డ్ ఇంత కాలం పదిలంగానే వుంది. కానీ ఇప్పుడు ‘పఠాన్’ కారణంగా తెరమరుగవబోతోంది. ‘బాహుబలి 2’ హిందీలో రికార్డుని నెలకొల్పి ఆరేళ్లు కావస్తోంది. ఇన్నేళ్ల తరువాత ఆ రికార్డ్ ని హిందీ సినిమా అధిగమించనుండటం ఆసక్తికరంగా మారింది.
అయితే మరో విషయంలో మాత్రం ‘బాహుబలి 2’ రికార్డ్ ని ‘పఠాన్’ బీట్ చేయలేకపోవడం విశేషం. ‘బాహుబలి 2’ని 5 కోట్ల మంది చూస్తే ‘పఠాన్’ని మాత్రం కేవలం 3.30 కోట్ల మంది మాత్రమే థియేటర్లలో వీక్షించనుండటం విశేషం. అంటే ఈ విషయంలో ‘బాహుబలి 2’ రికార్డ్ పదిలం అన్నమాటేగా.

Natural Star Nani is all set to arrive with his maiden pan-Indian venture titled ‘Dasara’ on 30th March. Directed by Srikanth Odela, this film is a raw and rustic action drama and the teaser got a positive response from all corners. The two songs that come out generated a very good response as well as there is a good buzz over this flick in South India as well as North Indian circuits too.
Sources say that Nani is taking the promotions aspect of the movie very seriously this time. Apparently, he is dedicating the entire month of March to various promotional activities across the country. Usually, Telugu stars spend one week or ten days for promotions but Nani is aiming to grab a nationwide market with this flick. If sources are to be believed, he will be touring cities and speaking with media from different languages along with taking part in special interviews and shows as well. Let us wait and see how things turn out in the next month.
Keerthy Suresh is the heroine in this movie. Dheekshith Shetty plays a key role in this movie while Samuthirakani, Sai Kumar, Zarina Wahab and others play key roles.
