Ravi Prakash & Murthy Are Not TV9 Directors Anymore – TV9 Management

May 10, 2019

TV9 Ravi Prakash went live yesterday on Tv9 as its CEO that he is not ansconding neither he is going to get arrested. He therefore asked other TV channels to report sensibly, but by today evening, he had to resign as CEO of TV9 and his resignation addressed ‘Forced In’ management claiming that he was ‘arm twisted’.

The new TV9 management too came out with an official press note saying it loud that Ravi Prakash and MKVN Murthy are not the whole-time directors anymore and also saying they were removed due to malafide intentions and selfish interests to control the company.

Here is the press note from the new management and directors of Tv9, Alanda Media & Entertainments Pvt Ltd which acquired 90.54 percent shares in Associated Broadcasting Pvt Ltd (ABCPL) in August 2018.

Top 5 Box Office: Mixed Talk Doesn’t Matter For Stars

May 10, 2019

What is Star Power? To simply put things into perspective, star power is nothing but the ability to mint huge numbers at the box office despite the fact that a particular film got mixed to below-average with benefit show itself.

After Maharshi’s release other day, many are looking at the opening day collections of the film in awe and the film’s Telugu states collection stood at No.5 position in the charts. We have Baahubali 2 (AP&T First Day Share 42.87 Cr), Aravinda Sametha (26.6 Cr), Agnyaathavaasi (Rs 26.36 Cr), Vinaya Vidheya Rama (26.03 Cr) and Maharshi 24.18 Cr in the Top 5 list when it comes to first day shares. All these films are indicative of one thing.

Except for Baahubali 2, all other films in that list either got average talk or disaster talk on the first day first show itself. While Baahubali 2 got blockbuster talk, Agnyaathavasi and Vinaya Vidheya Rama got disaster talk, while Aravinda Sametha and Maharshi got average talk. Irrespective of that, the stars of those films have pulled huge crowds on the first day and made those movies score records.

A simple equation is that, if this star power gets combined with great content then we see superior collections at the box office.

Film Budget 1000 Crores, Ticket Rate Rs 1000?

May 10, 2019

Other day when ticket rate hike happened for Maharshi movie, one of the kind explanation that came from the film’s producer is that exhibitors have decided to hike the rate because they feel that huge budgets are involved in the movie. That’s the reason whole Andhra and Telangana saw the film tickets being sold at 200 rupees, and a surcharge of 30 extra if you buy online.

Generally when huge budgets are involved and if the producers want to reap benefits in the first week itself, then all the screens available in every nook and corner of Telugu states should be filled with the same movie. Rather that, one wonders why ticket price is hiked. And tomorrow if someone comes up with 1000 crores movie, will they get permission to hike the ticket price to 1000 rupees by presenting similar reason?

Also for films that don’t even like a fully baked product, the Telugu industry got accustomed to saying that they have spent huge crores or so. Is this a kind of ploy to trick distributors into buying the film at high prices? And those distributors are in turn leeching it from the common man. Maybe consumers should react strongly on these aspects such that these unwarranted hikes don’t burn their pockets.

Guess the feeling of an average cinema lover who watches a film with 230 rupees ticket and 20 rupees parking fee only to find in theatres that he’s watching a super flop.

Teja Is Back To His Famous Adult Touch, But..

May 10, 2019

At the end of the trailer of ‘Sita’ movie featuring Kajal Agarwal in the lead, villain Sonu Sood says, ‘Vachi Mancham ekku sita’. And this is an indication that director Teja is back to this ‘adult touch’ in his film though recently he delivered a stunner with Nene Raju Nene Mantri without such adult punches.

The films like Jayam, Nijam, Nuvvu Nenu, Neeku Naaku Dash Dash have this touch of extramarital affairs and somewhat ‘boothu’ like dialogues. Some villain or a vamp lady in the movie speaks these adulterated dialogues in Teja’s movies with quite an ease. Except for Gopichand’s adulterous villainy in Jayam, nothing has worked out for Teja.

And now, it looks like he is introducing another Jayam Gopi Chand like a character in the form of Sonu Sood. Earlier these types of dialogues haven’t faced flak, but now that there are lots of media houses and many activists doing an everyday job of moral policing. In this scenario, it will be tough for Teja to escape rigorous criticism.

On the flip side, dabbling with the concept of Ramayanam in an adulterous way is not going good with the hardcore lovers of that holy book.

Pic Talk: Mega Kid with Mega brothers

May 10, 2019

Before the fame and name, the glam and sham, there was childhood innocence and mischief. Reminiscing his olden days, Varun Tej shares his childhood picture on his Twitter with a hashtag #flashbackFriday. Varun looked so cute and adorable with the same charm. It is super easy to recognize him as he has the elegance still intact even today.

The picture had Megastar Chiranjeevi, Varun’s father NagaBabu and power star Pawan Kalyan. Pawan is seen carrying Varun on his shoulders and all three brothers looked smiling, handsome, and vibrant.

Looks like the picture is from somewhere around the early 90s and the backdrop seems like a birthday party. Varun captioned the image “Dug this up from the old archives! With my most favourite people! Love them the most.”

Sakshi and TV9 fought on road

May 10, 2019

It is well now that media houses Sakshi and TV9 are at loggerheads. Taking this advantage Sakshi TV gave a full coverage of yesterday’s sensational episode which is allegations against TV9 CEO Ravi Prakash.

Sakshi reporter and cameraman reached TV9 office and started their live streaming from there. However, followers of Ravi Prakash who noticed this, objected Sakshi’s reporting and at one moment, they asked Sakshi reporter to leave the place. Ignoring this, Sakshi men continued their live reporting. The situation turned tense in few minutes as Ravi Prakash followers tried to snatch the camera and pushed the reporter. Ravi Prakash men even threatened Sakshi’s reporter and said Jagan’s media has no right.

But as the situation was running out of hand, other media men stepped into the scene. They tried to pacify both Ravi Prakash followers and Sakshi reporter. Looks like Sakshi was thoroughly satisfied with TV9 being in bad books.

Pawan Kalyan will be in Nandyal tomorrow

May 10, 2019

Post the assembly and Lok Sabha elections, Pawan Kalyan completely went into hiding. On certain issues, he released a press statement and confined himself to home. The other day a picture of Pawan surfaced on the social media. He looked lean but kept the long beard look intact.

Finally is going to come out and Pawan Kalyan will be in Nandyal tomorrow.

The Jana Sena chief will meet the family members of SPY Reddy. Pawan will also pay homage to the deceased MP. SPY Reddy died at a corporate hospital in Hyderabad on April 30th. He contested as Jana Sena MP candidate from Nandyal. In the mid of election campaign, Reddy fell sick and later was shifted to Hyderabad for better medication.

Due to age-related ailments, he breathed his last after being nearly four weeks in hospital.

‘Saw my vote gone to BJP’: NCP Chief

May 10, 2019

Casting aspersions on faulty and malfunctioning of electronic voting machines (EVMs) in polls, NCP chief Sharad Pawar claimed that he had himself seen during a presentation that a vote cast for his party went to the BJP on the machine. His statements come at a time when several parties across the country have been reporting mass manipulation of EVMs to the Election Commission.

Though he did not claim that all EVMs were manipulated, he said: “I am also concerned about the machine. In Hyderabad and Gujarat, some people kept an EVM before me and asked me to press a button. I pressed the button against ‘watch’ which is our party (NCP’s) symbol and the vote got cast in favour of lotus (BJP) . I saw it happening myself,” he told mediapersons.

What began as a claim in the first phase of elections during Andhra Pradesh and Telangana voting where malfunctioning and manipulation of EVMs was reported, has widely been seen in other states too. Interestingly, most of these claims of manipulated EVMs came from non-BJP ruled states.

Recently, the Supreme Court struck down the Opposition Parties’ demand to verify at least 25% VVPAT slips with EVMs as against the random matching the EC had suggested at 5 polling booths per assembly. Earlier the Opposition parties demanded at least 50% verification.

Nearly 21 opposition parties had approached the Supreme Court seeking a review of its April 8 order. But, the Supreme Court has stuck to its April 8th order on random matching of VVPAT slips with EVMs.

Puri’s Poor Track Record Haunts iSmart Shankar

May 10, 2019

Puri Jagannadh has pinned high hopes on iSmart Shankar to revive his career.Even the buzz on the film from insiders is highly positive. But that is not ensuring good business deals for iSmart Shankar.

The makers are quoting Rs. 15 crore for India theatrical rights, but the buyers are willing to pay just Rs. 12 crore, which is too low for the combination of Ram and Puri.

Buyers are not ready to risk after seeing how Puri’s recent films performed.

Also Ram has been inconsistent at the box office. There are many misses than hits for him. Perhaps an attractive teaser could push the business forward. iSmart team is currently working on it.

The film is likely to be released in late July or early August.

Ravi Prakash Team Shocks Senior Journalist!

May 10, 2019

When V Ravi Prakash was ruling the roost in TV9 channel as its chief executive officer and chairman, he faced several allegations of intimidating and blackmailing his rivals and critics.

While Ravi Prakash always used to preach the people that they would question the injustice and pull up the people concerned, he never tolerated anybody who questioned his autocratic behavior.

A team of his close confidants used to jump into action immediately to create troubles for those who write any negative stories against Ravi Prakash or upload any such videos on YouTube, till they delete these videos from online platforms.

Many people were virtually coerced to remove such articles and videos under threat or blackmailing.

The other day, senior journalist and popular columnist Telakapalli Ravi uploaded a video over the goings on in TV9 channel, the hue and cry raised by actor Shivaji over the transfer of channel management etc.

The very next morning, he received a notice from Ravi Prakash team accusing him of violating the Copy Right Act.

Naturally, it terribly hurt Ravi as there was nothing offensive in the report and as a senior journalist, he had the right to comment on any political and business developments. But he could not do anything but to remove the video.

It is not just Ravi, but many others had to succumb to pressure tactics of Ravi Prakash. Now, the situation has changed.

Ravi Prakash is feeling tremors under his feet and his status in the society has become questionable. Entire media is now gunning for his head. After all, every dog has its day!

Megastar Chiru’s Phone Call About Maharshi

May 10, 2019

“Yes, first half and second half have different backdrops, but what average audiences think about the film is what matters in the end,” says Vamsi Paidipally, who claimed that Maharshi is a super duper blockbuster. Speaking at the success meet, he stated that distributors are adding extra shows of the film as audiences are asking for it.

“Today morning I’m getting a call from an unknown number and the moment I heard the voice opposite side is Chiranjeevi sir’s. His call gave me goosebumps and his five-minute talk about the film gave me the most memorable moments of my life. He said Vamsi save my number, and that is a high point of our conversation” said Vamsi Paidipally.

“Reviews are important, as they will merit out next films. Few reviews said that Maharshi is brilliant, few said it should be better. I take all the positive and negative reviews in stride” he added.

“We are neglecting farmers and the intention of this film is bring attention to that. Then we dealt with a hero who got inspired by his father to succeed at any cost and who later realises that this is not the correct form of success. These different types of layers have worked out well” adds Vamsi Paidipally.

Trailer Talk: ‘Horror-Couple’ Is Back

May 10, 2019

Prabhudeva and Tamannaah Bhatia are likely to get a tag by audience as ‘Horror-Couple.’ True as the duo are coming up with one more horror drama. But this time, they have confined themselves to Bollywood.

‘Khamoshi’ starring Prabhudeva and Tamannaah had its teaser launch. Frankly the teaser isn’t scary but it is filled with spooky takes. Prabhudeva playing his aged role, appears in grey shades. In the last shot, he drags an axe with his hand and we are not sure whom he is going to kill.

Then comes Tamannaah who is mostly seen in fear in her eyes all throughout the sixty seconds teaser. The lead pair occupy the maximum space in teaser while the film also stars Bhumika Chawla and Sanjay Suri.

Directed by Chakri Toleti, the background music of wolves howling might have some connection with the plot.

Overall ‘Khamoshi’ offers nothing new with the teaser but we need to wait till the film releases. If the plot has content, then audience will definitely give their thumbs up.
