Songs Promotions: Extra Burden For Producers!
Telugu producers are someone who goes to any extent to bring a quality product that has all the needed ingredients. Though they don’t care much about the story, they spend huge on erecting sets, costumes and importing technicians as well as casting. And these costs are escalating with new ideas each day.
Recently the trend of making special promotional videos for a song, in the place of lyrical videos, got kicked up in Tollywood with Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo makers coming up with that special video of Samajavaragamana song. Imported from Bollywood, this trend is being followed by other producers too. But do you know how much it costs to make up such songs?
Erecting special set at a film studio to filming it, adding visual effects and motion graphics to it, and spending a bomb to promote that song on YouTube and Facebook, is all going to cost almost 15-30 lakhs for each song, depending on the cast and crew they rope in. And if they have to come up with 3-4 such special promotional songs, imagine the budget going to be involved.
Well, these songs help the producers bring more crowds to theatres as they create lots of hype. In the wake of OTT platforms dominating the scene with more and more audiences not going to theatres, surely this publicity is needed. Of course, the profits of the producers are going for a toss with these extra costs.
Rashmika’s Ex Boyfriend’s Tollywood Debut!
Rashmika Mandanna’s ex boyfriend Rakshit Shetty is all set for his Tollywood debut. Rakshit’s forthcoming film Avane Srimannarayana is being dubbed and released in Telugu as Athade Srimannarayana. The film’s first look has been unveiled and Rakshit is seen as a police officer. The first look is stylish and impressive. Interestingly, Rakshit wrote the story of the film and also co-wrote the script along with a team “The Seven odds” just like Kiriki Party (remade in Telugu as Kirrak Party).
While the film is slated for December 27 release, the Telugu trailer would be released on November 28. Along with Kannada and Telugu, the film is also being dubbed and released in Hindi, Tamil and Malayalam. Rakshit is surely going places and trying to expand his base like Vijay Deverakonda.
Dil Raju seems to have acquired the theatrical rights of Telugu version at cheap rate given that Kannada films doesn’t have good market in Telugu and is presenting the film here. He is sure cashing in on the craze. So, Dil Raju is set to gamble with this film on Christmas eve.
Sai Pallavi Once Again Rejects Tempting Figures
Sai Pallavi is one such heroine who is secured within her limits, confident and an independent girl. The 27-year-old natural beauty is also known for her frankness who always strives for transparency and grace. The latest news on Pallavi rejecting a mammoth Rs 1 crore offer is leaving fans to wonder what could be the reason.
Well, the actress has also rejected Rs 2 crore fairness brand deal some time ago and the news arose rapidly all over. Sai Pallavi showed sensibility saying that the fairness products send the wrong message into the society and she cannot accept skin colour discrimination by accepting it. Now, the Rs 1 crore rejection for a top textile brand’s advertisement is once again making her stand clear that she is apathetic towards earning money via commercials.
Sai Pallavi said that she doesn’t want to earn money through ads and offers similar to that. She is happy with the money she gets by doing films and one should not approach her for such deals. Isn’t that a gem of a trait in her? The actress’ thought process of how working hard and living a decent life is leaving fans in huge praises for her. Kudos to Sai Pallavi for rejecting such temptingly whopping figures.
Much earlier, the actress also refused to take remuneration for her film Padi Padi Leche Manasu as the film faced huge losses at the box office. With an era of extravagant lifestyles, Sai Pallavi is indeed one of the most generous stars who desire to live a righteous life. Her next films are Venu Udugula’s Virata Parvam and Sekhar Kammula’s rumoured title Love Story.

Sena, NCP, Congress hold ‘cross-meetings’ of MLAs
In an unprecedented confidence building measure, the Shiv Sena, Nationalist Congress Party and the Congress are conducting ‘cross-meetings’ with the legislators of their parties in the proposed ‘Maha Vikas Aghadi’ here on Sunday, party sources said.
For starters, NCP President Sharad Pawar met his party legislators at Hotel Renaissance along with Nawab Malik, and were later joined by Shiv Sena senior leaders like Subhash Desai and Eknath Shinde.
Later, Sena President Uddhav Thackeray and party MP Sanjay Raut and Milind Narvekar would meet the NCP legislators and address them.
Thereafter, Pawar, Thackeray and their party leaders would proceed to Hotel JW Marriot to meet and speak with the Congress legislators put up there.
A similar exercise is likely to be taken up with the Sena legislators at a deluxe hotel to complete the process of sending ‘right signals’ to them, the sources said.
“This exercise is necessary to assuage the doubts and anxieties among the legislators in view of Saturday’s political developments leading to utter confusion and dismay among these elected representatives,” said a Sena source, requesting anonymity.
The joint meetings would also reassure the legislators of the three partners that their respective leaders are on the same page and would continue in the same vein in the near future, particularly since the three parties have decided to tackle the crisis on the legal and political fronts.
Sending out such a message would be important as the three parties will be required to work in complete unison and coordination during crucial legislative formalities like the Speaker’s election and the floor test in the Assembly where Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar shall be called upon to prove their majority, the Sena source said.
Besides these ‘cross-party meetings’ the leaders of the three parties shall also discuss among themselves their joint future course of action, as may be necessitated after the outcome of the Supreme Court case on Monday.

Big Producers are at Big Risk for Fame !
We have half a dozen of big producers who actually make films with our leading star heroes. One wonders if all these producers are successful because of those big movies or they are just sustaining with those projects. Here’s an interesting take on that.
Insiders say that all the big producers are making big movies only for the sake of ‘fame’ but nothing else. As we could read the trade reports, almost all the big films are loss ventures these days for the kind of money involved in making them, and the revenues they are getting back from the sales. Only some small scale films are actually giving 5-10 crore profits, but big films are incurring a loss of 5-10 crores.
These days, every film is almost touching a production cost of 70-80 crores. On top of that, heroes are taking a share in the profits, thereby pushing the envelope to 100-120 crores of recovery from the sales. And if the box office is forgiving, then some films are getting somewhere around 80-95 crores. By shelling out digital rights and other rights, the makers get to recover a total of 120 crores. But then, if they remove all the expenses, the profit is hardly 5-10 crores only.
When a 20 crore budgeted film also could give that 5 crores profit, why to make a 100 crore film to get similar gains? The answer is simple. Producers will get fame with big films as they will have big directors and big heroes. And they will get money from other ventures. It’s high time that heroes should recheck on their remunerations which saves producers and the film industry.
