Writing is my first love: Deepthi Ghanta
A simple woman developed the art of writing during her leisure time because it made her happy. But that turned into a profession. Meet Deepthi Ghanta, Nani’s sister, who is set to make her directorial debut with Meet Cute, a web series, an anthology of five stories.
But how did a woman who works as a Data Analytics Manager in the US, get drawn to films? “I have loved films since childhood. I am bad at expressing myself orally but I love writing. I even made a short film, Anaganaga Oka Nanna, a couple of years ago. It received a good response, and it motivated me to come up with a bigger project,” she says.
“Writing makes me feel happy and de-stressed. It’s my first love. When I narrated the script to Nani he liked it but told me that I need to give him three episodes so that he can back it,” she shares, adding that she wrote the story during the lockdown in the USA.
Meet Cute is about conversations happening between two strangers in an unexpected situation, and how they fall for each other. “It is more conversational and emotion-based.”
Impressed with her writing, her younger brother Nani encouraged her to write more. She came up with Meet Cute.
Initially, Nani was looking for a director, but later he felt that Deepthi would be the best person to execute it. “When Nani asked me to direct, I wasn’t too keen. But later, I wanted to give it a go,” she shares.
Deepthi says with good planning, it’s possible to balance two professions. But in a male-dominated industry, how challenging has it been to direct, we ask? “Taking the decision to direct was itself a big challenge. It is definitely a struggle to wield the baton for a film irrespective of gender. But I think having someone like Nani helped me,” she says.
Deepthi finds it inspiring that more women are coming into the industry and calling the shots. After the release event, Deepthi is heading back to the US. “But I am also planning to write more, at my own pace. I’ll take one step at a time,” she says, signing off.
Will Mega Family Support Pawan’s Political Journey?
The Andhra Pradesh politics are now revolving around the one chance slogan. While CM Jagan Mohan Reddy is seeking another chance from voters to serve better, former Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu is asking voters for one last chance. He recently said that the next general elections will be his last polls.
Janasena chief Pawan Kalyan is seeking just one chance from voters. However, there is no clarity on with which party Pawan might walk. Earlier it was reported that Janasena and Telugu Desam Party might join hands. But there is a doubt about this with the Bharatiya Janata Party.
Without even considering Pawan Kalyan’s opinion BJP has been saying that he should work with them for the next elections. In his recent interview, AP BJP chief Somu Veerraju said that Pawan Kalyan would be made to work with them as there is no chance of joining hands with the Telugu Desam Party.
Amid this, the discussion on what the Mega family will do now has started. If we take any political family, their family members support the leaders directly or indirectly. Look at Nandamuri Balakrishna, he actively participates in the TDP campaign when required.
Such support is required for Pawan Kalyan now. His younger brother Chiranjeevi stayed in active politics for over a decade and his experience would come in handy in directing Pawan on political moves. Recently he said Pawan Kalyan would reach some top position.
The mega family has a few noted faces and if they all can come together then it would boost the vote percentage of Janasena in the next elections. Nagababu is actively walking with Pawan Kalyan.
A few days back it was reported that all the Mega heroes took a decision to support Pawan Kalyan politically. The fan clubs and associations of these heroes were asked to do the same.
Megapower Star Ram Charan and Icon Star Allu Arjun are among the top league stars. Their stardom might help the party. If they can campaign for Pawan it would be helpful. Back when Young Tiger NTR campaigned for Telugu Desam Party the party came very close to winning as the winning margin was very narrow. Keeping all these things aside, the main question that raises here is how Mega Family wants To Walk With Pawan Kalyan.
‘Avatar 2’ New Trailer: Witness The Biggest Visual Feast On Dec 16th!
As if the first trailer wasn’t enough for the people to line up in front of the theatres, the team of ‘Avatar: The Way Of Water’ have released a new trailer which makes the audience speechless. Usually sequels take 4-5 years but James Cameron took a whopping 13 years to come with the second part of ‘Avatar’. The great director is known for breaking all existing records whenever he releases his movie. Whether it is ‘Terminator 2’ or ‘Titanic’ or ‘Avatar’, James Cameron is the biggest director in the world.
‘Avatar’ came out in 2009 and it swept everyone off their feet. The visuals showcased in that film was never seen before and it took a film like ‘Avengers Endgame’ to break its record, that too in its second run at the box office showcased the magic ‘Avatar’ created a decade back. Every film lover across the globe is waiting for ‘Avatar 2’ and it is finally hitting the screens on 16th December.
The new trailer emphasizes that it is going to be a visual extravaganza once again. The visionary director takes us back to Pandora world. It tells us the story of the Sully family, the troubles they endure, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they face. The visuals are nothing short of fantastic and Cameroon seems to have delivered another record-shattering film. The action sequences, the music, the production design, the acting and every aspect look jaw-dropping. The makers claim it as a ‘Motion Picture Event Of A Generation’.
Watching this movie on big screens and in 3D is going to be a heavenly experience and people can’t wait for it till the next month. This movie is produced by Cameron, Jon Landau, Lightstorm Entertainment and others. Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang and Kate Winslet are the lead actors in this movie while James Cameron and Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver penned the screenplay. Josh Friedman and Shane Salerno wrote the story in association with the people who wrote the screenplay.
Two Mohanlal Flicks, Chiru Fails While Ajay Succeeds!
It is quite tough to predict a movie’s result these days. Many claim that remakes are a very safe option but we are witnessing a lot of remakes failing to achieve commercial success in recent times. This is a common phenomenon in all languages. We have seen ‘Ori Devuda’ and ‘Godfather’ failing in Telugu recently while remakes like ‘Jersey’ and ‘Vikram Vedha’ ended up as duds in Bollywood.
In recent times, two of Malayali legend Mohanlal’s super hit films got remade. While one succeeded, the other failed. As we know, Megastar Chiranjeevi remade super hit ‘Lucifer’ as ‘Godfather’ in Telugu. Whilst the movie got a positive response initially, the film’s collections slowed down drastically after the first weekend. By the end of its theatrical run, the movie ended up as a commercial failure. Many said that the Telugu dubbed version of ‘Lucifer’ being available on OTT is the main reason for its failure.
On the other hand, ‘Drishyam 2’ was released in Hindi recently. It had Ajay Devgn, Shriya and Tabu playing the lead roles. As we are aware, Mohanlal’s original version and Venkatesh’s Telugu version of the same film were released directly on Amazon Prime Video long back and they are available to everyone. But none of it were dubbed in Hindi which helped the Hindi makers a lot. As the first part of Hindi ‘Drishyam’ was highly successful on the small screen, people wanted to see what happened to Ajay Devgn and his family in the movie which made them walk into the theatres for ‘Drishyam 2’. This resulted in the collections being extraordinary in recent times.
Can We See Indian Origin Woman Serving As US President?
Indians holding big positions in MNCs is now new and almost every big company sees Indians as CEOs. Indian origin Rishi Sunak recently became the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom after the MPs supported him. Recently he met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the G-20 summit.
If everything goes well we might see an Indian-origin person becoming the President of the United States as two women candidates might try their luck in the polls from two different parties. Democrats and Republicans are the two major parties in the United States.
Experts say that Nikki Haley, who hails from the Sikh community, might be the Republican candidate for the next presidential polls. She already scripted history by becoming the first person of Indian-American descent to enter the American Cabinet. She said she is thinking about the US presidential polls seriously.
However, Nikki Haley’s chances of running for the US Presidential polls are surely dependent on Donald Trump. He recently said he will run the polls to make America better. If he becomes the Republican party’s candidate then Nikki cannot run in the next polls. Donald Trump is the deciding factor here.
The Democratic Party has a similar story. Joe Biden is 80 and there is no clarity on whether he can run in the next polls or else. If he takes a back step then serving Vice President Kamala Harris might get a chance to serve as the President by getting a nomination.
If Kamala Harris and Nikki Haley get to run the presidential polls we would see two Indian-origin women running for the United States presidential polls. If this happens then one of them would win and there are high chances that we would see an Indian-origin person serving as the US President.
Allari Naresh Becoming A Sandwich Between These Two!
Talented hero Allari Naresh is selecting unique scripts lately. Apart from working on his comedy flicks every now and then, he is acting in serious projects like ‘Maharshi’ and ‘Naandi’. Following this pattern, he acted in another interesting drama titled ‘Itlu Maredumilli Prajaneekam’. The trailer has made a very good impression and this film is all set to hit the screens on 25th November. But there is not a lot of buzz on this movie.
On top of that, this flick is getting sandwiched between two dubbing films. The first one is ‘Love Today’ which is a Tamil film which is being dubbed in Telugu and released by Dil Raju. Coming from such a big producer, this film is going to get a big number of theatres. Dubbing movies have been performing very well at the box office in recent times. While Naresh’s film is a serious drama, ‘Love Today’ is going to be a youth-oriented love story with a lot of entertainment.
On the other hand, Hindi film ‘Bhediya’ is getting released in large number of screens. It is being dubbed as ‘Thodelu’ in Telugu. Varun Dhawan is the hero while Kriti Sanon is the heroine. Allu Aravind is releasing this flick which gives a strong backing. With Dil Raju and Aravind backing the two dubbing movies. Naresh’s ‘Itlu Maredumilli Prajaneekam’ is going to have a huge challenge getting good number of theatres.
If Naresh manages to survive this, it will definitely be a huge feat. Written and directed by AR Mohan, ‘Itlu Maredumilli Prajaneekam’ is produced by Razesh Danda under Hasya Movies in association with Zee Studios. Sricharan Pakala who composed music for ‘Major’ recently is working on this project too. This is Naresh’s 59th film and Aanandi is the female lead while Vennela Kishore plays a key role.
