A Huge Hike In Remuneration For Varun Tej?

May 15, 2019

Varun Tej has understood how the Industry works personally, it seems. Many people who know him say that success has given him confidence to deal with producers.He used to be slightly vulnerable as he was finding his feet and the initial flops did not help him say the sources.

Now, he is waiting for the right scripts and also umdrstood the right timing to negotiate deals with producers, it seems.He did not agree to sign contracts of his next two films until F2 released. He knew movie could be a success and waited to see, how big it will be, it seems.

Once he got to know that Anthariksham got a minimum opening and F2 went on to make 80 crores share, he agreed to sign the contracts with demand of 5 crores remuneration, it seems.

Producers of Valmiki accepted and even his other film producer also accepted it seems. If one of them becomes a blockbuster, we may see him charge as much as Nani, who gets 9 crores, it seems. Clever, right?!

Rajamouli Appreciates Kalakeya New Look

May 15, 2019

Actor Prabhakar made his debut as a villain with Rajamouli’s directorial Maryada Ramanna. That film gave a good launch pad in the Telugu film industry. But, later on, he was stuck in the stereotypic negative roles in various movies until Rajamouli came up for his rescue.

The ace filmmaker gave Prabhakar a chance to act a terrifying role of Kalakeya in the magnum opus Baahubali. Even Prabhakhar impressed with his deadly looks, villainous antics and especially with the language of Kiliki. That one film got him a pan-Indian reputation.

Now, he is acting in a Kannada film called Bicchugatti, which features Rajvardhan in the lead role. Hari Santosh is directing this two-part film. The look of Prabhakar from the film was released recently, and Rajamouli was impressed with it. Apparently, he felt that the actor got another befitting role. Hope Telugu makers also give him some unique roles in future.

Opinion: The Struggles Of Blockbuster Directors

May 15, 2019

Few films turn out to be such a big hits that the directors of those films will be in high demand. However, if a flop film follows that blockbuster hit, then their career will be pushed into the doldrums. Right now there are a bunch of such directors doing rounds in Tollywood for a hero.

Ekkadiki Pothavu Chinnavada is such a hit that VI Anand became a sought after the director who went on to direct Allu Sirish’s Okka Kshanam. The film hasn’t worked however and since then Anand struggled to get a film and is still struggling with Raviteja’s Disco Raja. Director Chandu Mondeti whose Karthikeya and Premam are super hits has actually delivered Savyasachi only to sabotage his opportunities. His next is yet to take off.

After the super success of films like Soggade Chinni Nayana and Rarandoi Veduka Choodam, director Kalyan Krishna Kurasala delivered super duper flop Nela Ticket and is movie-less since then. While Ghazi is a path breaking film, Antariksham is such a dud that director Sankalp Reddy is yet to find a hero for his next.

That’s the story of blockbuster directors who are struggling and maybe we could add seniors like Puri Jagan, VV Vinayak, Sreenu Vaitla, Boyapati Sreenu as well to this list. They have once delivered blockbusters, but right now struggling to find heroes for their next films.

Pooja Hegde In Valmiki- Here’s Comes New Twist

May 15, 2019

Is dusky siren Pooja Hegde doing Varun Tej’s Valmiki or not? Firstly they stated that heroine Mrinalini Ravi who was supposed to play Varun’s lady love got replaced by Pooja. Later the remuneration rumours of Pooja came out and another rumours started circulating that she’s out of the film. So what now?

Apparently, some reports are coming out that Pooja Hegde is very much part of the film and she’s not going to play the heroine as rumoured to be. She’s said to have got paired with Tamil hero Atharva Murali in this movie. That is surely a stunner because such a costly and happening heroine not paired with the lead guy is something that gives you a shocker.

On the other hand, director Harish Shankar is making lot of changes to original Jigarthanda to make Varun Tej a hero in the movie, as he’s actually playing the role of Bobby Simha but not the one played by Siddharth in this film.

RP goes to media to claim innocence!

May 15, 2019

Sacked chief executive officer of popular television news channel TV9 V Ravi Prakash on Wednesday could not get anticipatory bail from the high court to avoid being arrested by the Hyderabad police in connection with the forgery and criminal conspiracy case filed by the channel’s new management.

The court said it was too early for Ravi Prakash to seek the bail and if really thinks he could be arrested, he could approach the court again.

It would mean Ravi Prakash is now compelled to appear before the police for questioning with regard to the notice issued to him under Section 41-A of criminal procedure code.

Interestingly, even as the Hyderabad police said they were on the lookout for Ravi Prakash who is said to be underground, his interviews appeared in two media houses: One in Hindustan Times and another in popular digital media – The News Minute. Apparently, he gave interviews to both the media while being underground.

In the interviews, Ravi Prakash cried foul over the way My Home Group headed by J Rameshwar Rao, who has the backing of the powers-that-be in Telangana, made a backdoor entry into the Associated Broadcasting Company Private Limited (ABCL) by buying majority stakes in Alanda Media and Entertainment Limited.

Stating that he had never stopped the majority stakeholders taking over the management, Ravi Prakash said what he had objected to was the breach of original agreement that he would be continued as the CEO of the channel and the promoters would not interfere in the day-to-day operations of the channel, including content management.

“But the moment Rameshwara Rao and his men managed to get the majority shares, they started dictating terms to the staff over what to telecast and what not to, and since I had resisted them strongly, they forced me go out of the channel on the pretext on non-performance,” he lamented.

He wondered how turning around the company as a no. 1 channel in the regional news segment and a profitable venture with a turnover of Rs 255 crore could be called a non-performance.

He vowed to fight out the builders and contractors’ lobby in the journalism.

The infamous Tollywood drugs case is back in the news after the ‘Forum for Good Governance’ secretary, Padmanabha Reddy filed a RTI petition seeking an update in the case, which became a sensational news in 2017. In a response sent to Padmanabha Reddy, Exercise Dept did not include the names of industry people who were called for questioning.

Around 62 film personalities including Ravi Teja, Puri Jagannath, Charmee Kaur, Tharun, Mumaith Khan, Tanish, Nandu and others were questioned by a special police team that was investigating this case, but no action was taken after that. Contrary to ongoing rumours that all the film celebrities were given clean chit in the drugs case, the fact is that the Exercise department has never given them a clean chit. In the latest announcement made by officials of Excise department, they have confirmed the same.

The officials stated that “a total of 7 chargesheets have been filed till date in this case and five more chargesheets will be registered soon.”. The authorities iterated that ‘whoever is involved in the drugs case will face respective charges and get punished”.

‘I was embarassed and wanted to return Padma Shri’

May 15, 2019

Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan, who was honoured and felicitated with Padma Shri, India’s fourth-highest civilian award, in 2010, says that he wanted to return the award. It is because the actor was brutally trolled and accused of buying the award.

During his recent appearance on Arbaaz Khan’s chat show ‘Pinch’, the actor was asked to read out some mean tweets on him. On asking about the incident of buying a Padma Shri, Saif that it is a bit beyond his capacity to bribe the Indian government. ”You will have to ask more senior people,” he said. He added that he considered returning it because he felt other contenders were much more deserving than him.

“I thought I don’t want to accept it because there are people in this industry who deserve it so much more than me. There were so many senior actors who hadn’t got one and it was very embarrassing,” he said. However, his father Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi told him that he was not in a position to reject an honour bestowed upon him by the government. “I wanted to give it back. I didn’t want to accept it. My father said to me, ‘I don’t think you are in a position to refuse the Indian government.’ So I said okay and I very happily took it,” he said.

Known for his best sense of humour, Saif entertained Pinch chat show with many wit replies. One of the tweets asked him why he wore a stupid, dull, plain and white kurta to Sonam’s wedding to which he replied, “It was her wedding, not mine”.

Will Ram Charan’s Expectations On ABCD Come True?

May 15, 2019

In a couple of days, mega hero Allu Sirish is testing luck yet again with his ABCD movie, which happens to be the remake of a Malayalam film of the same name. The original featured Dulquer Salman in the lead of an Indian boy raised in the USA, and whose father sent him to India to learn the value of money.

Guess what, this film has a Ram Charan connection we have to say. Apparently, Charan is the one who has seen this film first and then immediately he has called up Allu Sirish to look at it. And then Charan is said to have advised Sirish to remake the film as he felt that none other than his Allu cousin could do that role better.

In that way, Charan has first had huge expectations on ABCD Telugu version with Sirish in the lead, and how the film fares in Telugu will surely surprise him. Directed by newcomer Sanjeev Reddy, ABCD got attention through the release trailer which happens to be a laugh riot.

However, with Maharshi occupying most of the theatres and running with a good talk, one wonders if Sirish could burst into the box office easily.
