NTR and Puri Jagannadh’s 2015 action drama Temper has been remade in Bollywood and Kollywood. While the Hindi version Simmba went on to become a blockbuster last December, the Tamil version Ayogya is gearing up for its release this summer. The film’s teaser was released yesterday.

During Pandem Kodi 2’s promotions, hero Vishal, who is reprising NTR’s role in Ayogya, had said that Ayogya will be quite different from Temper. Since then, there has been a lot of curiosity about how Ayogya’s makers could have given a new twist to Temper.

But Ayogya’s teaser offered nothing new and the film appears to be a frame by frame faithful remake of NTR’s Temper. Especially, shots like Vishal looking cunningly from the Jeep, the beach fight, the police station fight and a few other shots gave a strong dejavu of Temper. Even certain dialogues in the teaser seem to have been inspired from Temper.

However, leaving the similarities aside, Ayogya’s teaser is captivating enough. While Raashi Khanna steps into Kajal’s shoes, Parthiepan plays Prakash Raj’s role in Temper’s Tamil version. Star director AR Murugadoss’ former First AD Venkat Mohan has directed Ayogya. Surprisingly, he also credits himself as the Writer of this film.

Hits bring two people together and flops, disasters strain relations and even make two close friends into enemies. This is common in film industry. Looks like, this is exactly what happened in the team of Vinaya Vidheya Rama. It is widely rumoured in industry circles that all is not well between producer DVV Danayya and director Boyapati Sreenu after the debacle of Vinaya Vidheya Rama.

The film which had done a pretty good theatrical business of Rs 90 Crore (prior to its release) managed to earn only Rs 63 Crore world-wide share leaving its distributors in 27 Crore loss.

Amidst this, producer Danayya, Dil Raju have met director Boyapati to discuss over paying compensation to the distributors. While Ram Charan and Danayya have agreed to pay Rs 5 Crore each, Danayya wanted Boyapati to give another Rs 5 Crore. However, this hasn’t gone down well with Boyapati who had agreed to return only Rs 2 Crore. Boyapati wasn’t convinced with giving compensation on par with Danayya. As Danayya made huge profits, Boyapati allegedly argued that Danayya should give more compensation than him i.e he wanted to give less compensation than Danayya.

It is buzzed that some heated discussion took place between Danayya and director Boyapati regarding the same. Apparently, a big fight broke out between Danayya and Boyapati. Dil Raju and others have pacified the both. This led to have widened the gap further between Danayya and Boyapati.

G.S. Karthik who earlier made Adda is coming up with an interesting love story titled Hero Heroine. It is a romance/action film set in movie piracy backdrop. Hence, the tagline ‘A Pirated Love Story’.

Naveen Chandra, who was recently seen as the antagonist in Aravindha Sametha is playing the lead role and Gayatri Suresh – Pooja Jhaveri are the female leads.

Bhargav Manne is producing Hero Heroine on Swathi Pictures. The film has completed filming part and is currently in the last leg of post production stage. First look poster of Hero Heroine has been unveiled a while ago.

The teaser of the film will be launched in a few days.

‘A movie pirate playing the protagonist is the first of its kind,’ says Karthik who is confident that his film would create sensation within and outside the industry.

In a welcome move, Ram Charan and producer Danayya have come forward to bear the hefty losses incurred to the distributors of Vinaya Vidheya Rama.While the film’s pre-release world-wide theatrical business was done at Rs 90 Crore, the film on its full run managed to garner Rs 63 Crore share world-wide, thus incurring whopping Rs 27 Crore loss.

In order to compensate the distributors who believed in Charan and Danayya’s film and bet high monies, both Charan and Danayya have come forward to pay Rs 5 Crore each to the distributors. Thus, both together will be paying Rs 10 Crore to the distributors as part of compensation.

Even after this 10 Crore compensation, distributors of VVR have to bear the loss of Rs 17 Crore. Yet, one has to appreciate both Charan and Danayya for coming forward to pay the distributors. While UV Creations has bought the film for whopping Rs 73 Crore and released in the Telugu states, overseas distributor had paid Rs 6.70 Crore. After the disaster result, Danayya had waived off Rs 70 Lakh to its overseas distributor who was supposed to pay the 70 Lakh before the release as per the legal agreement.

Now, Charan and Danayya’s generous act is going to save the distributors to an extent.

With ‘Arjun Reddy’ Rahul Ramakrishna emerged as a star comedian and later on he came up with entertaining roles in ‘Sammohanam’ ‘Chi La Sow’ etc. And with ‘Husharu’ Rahul proved that he can carry a film’s success on his shoulders.

Now he is busy with multiple projects. Despite being super busy, Rahul wants to fulfill his long pending dream of pursuing law. He took it on his Twitter handle and stated that ”In addition to working in the wonderful films that I’m part of, I plan to study law this year, as a last ditch effort to salvage my relationship with academics.”

Rahul might prefer the Nalsar university which is the topmost and best institute that offers law. However, if he opts for a full-time course, five and half years, Rahul needs to dedicate for its completion. Being an actor and simultaneously study may end up nowhere.

Apart from law, Rahul also wants to learn playing piano.

Continuing his favorites in interesting roles is one habit of noted writer-director Trivikram and it looks like he is going to continue that. The likes of Brahmanandam and Hema used to be regulars in his movies earlier, and now he is roping in others regularly.

In his Attarintiki Daredi earlier, Trivikram has roped in not just Nadiya who impressed big time but also got Boman Irani in a crucial role. Later the same Irani appeared in Agnyaathavasi too. And now, he will complete their third time teaming, as the talented actor will be seen in Allu Arjun’s film.

Incidentally, Allu Arjun and Trivikram are joining hands for the third time after Julayi and S/o Satyamurthy, and this is going to be third outing for Trivikram and Boman Irani too. We hear that the talented Bollywood actor will be playing the role of Allu Arjun’s father in the film, which has father-centric storyline yet again.

And then, Allu Arjun’s mega fans are waiting for this film to go on sets as they actor took almost 9 months gap after the release of Naa Peru Surya release to come up with his next.

Those in the know are aware that Akkineni actor Naga Chaitanya is going to feature in a film to be produced by Dil Raju. The ace producer himself has confirmed it during his recent press meet. After Josh flop, Akkineni family and Dil Raju have maintained some distance and they never made an attempt to collaborate again. After many years, Dil Raju is once again partnering with Chay and how did it happen now?

Going by the industry insiders, Chay’s wife and star actress Samantha Akkineni is said to have played a crucial role in setting up this combination. During a recent meeting with Dil Raju regarding the ’96’ Telugu remake, Samantha has reportedly asked the leading producer to plan a movie with her hubby, who is reeling under a series of flops. Considering the fact that Dil Raju has got a great track record in film production, Samantha may have apparently recommended Chay to him. Also, the reports have it that Raju has arranged a narration of a subject with a director, to which the Josh actor gave his quick nod.

Right from the beginning, Samantha is very keen about Naga Chaitanya’s career and in the past, rumours emerged that she has recommended Chaitanya for Trivikram’s A..Aa. But, that did not materialize as Nithin came on the board finally. So, now Dil Raju’s film is quite crucial for the young actor who is in need of a success badly.
