In Talk: Charan’s Three Shift Work Schedule
These are the days where heroes love to do only one film in a year. And mega hero Ram Charan is strictly doing only one film in a year from some time. Then how come he’s working three shifts daily?
Though Charan has got some delays earlier, after Rangasthalam he has upped his ante, we have to say. This year, after the super success of that Sukumar directorial, we will be seeing Vinaya Vidheya Rama’s release too. And coming to Charan’s three shifts, he is working on three projects daily now.
Every day he will be heading to #RRR shoot, to join Rajamouli and Jr NTR, from 9 am to 6 pm until the schedule gets wrapped. Then in the evenings, he’s said to be checking the balance works of Sye Raa with the team. And in the nights, Charan and Koratala are said to be discussing the script and pre-production works of Chiranjeevi-Koratala movie.
Needless to say, Charan is putting his sweat and blood into work these days, and there is no big busy actor/producer than him now.
Reel Talk: 2.0 Success Key For Prabhas and Co
South Indian cinema is keenly waiting to see the response for 2.0 in Bollywood markets. Many biggies have been launched post phenomenal success of Baahubali movies in Hindi arena.
High budget films like Saaho and Sye Raa are hoping to make a strong impact in Bollywood.
North producers and corporate companies will come forward to bag these biggies if 2.0 also does well like Baahubali movies.
Shankar roped in Akshay Kumar for the antagonist role just to make sure to grab the attention of North audience.
Similarly, Saaho makers are spending heavily keeping Prabhas’s pan India popularity post Baahubali success. They have roped in many Bollywood actors for key roles just to have that additional advantage.
2.0 should do well in Hindi markets for the big producers to put faith in these regional language films.
Ex-CBI JD rejects Lok Satta, to float new party!
Former joint director of Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) V V Lakshminarayana, who appeared to have expressed his interest to take over Lok Satta, a defunct political party which was founded by former bureaucrat Dr Jayaprakash Narayan, has at last changed his mind.
On Wednesday, Lakshminarayana announced that he would launch his own political party.
“After taking suggestions from my well-wishers and supporters, I have decided to float my own political party rather than joining any other party,” he said, in a statement to the media.
He said he would disclose his party’s name, agenda and flag after another round of meeting with his supporters.
In fact, when he called for a press conference on Saturday, the message he had sent to the media was that he would announce the launch of a new political party.
But he called Lok Satta chief to the meeting and the latter invited him into the party and asked him to head the same in the Telugu states.
Lakshminarayana, too, expressed his willingness at the meeting and the news was flashed to all the media houses. But later, he told the media that he would take a decision on Lok Satta’s invitation later.
In fact, his decision surprised the political observers, as JP had wound up the party long ago, after he failed to sustain it following the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh.
Though Lakshminarayana did not elaborate on what he is going to do in the coming days, it is learnt he has decided to revive Lok Satta Party in Andhra Pradesh and head the same.
He declared that he would contest the next general elections in the state and would welcome if any like-minded people want to contest the elections.
One wonders whether there is any space for a new party in the Telugu states at this stage, that too, for a fickle-minded leaders like Lakshminarayana!
Samantha Film to Have All Women
Despite “U Turn” failing at the box-office, Samantha is undeterred to handle another heroine-centered subject.
She has already given nod to remake of a Korean drama named “Miss Granny” which will be launched shortly.
The interesting aspect of this film is it is to be directed woman filmmaker Nandini Reddy and produced by another woman Sunitha Tati.
Buzz is that Samantha has asked Nandini Reddy and Sunitha Tati to recruit women as crew in whichever position possible. So, the film’s team will be dominated by women.
Samantha has been lending support to women workforce in Tollywood. She has earlier worked with Nandini Reddy for “Jabardasth” which bombed at the box-office. This time they have come up with a heroine-oriented subject.
Hence the team is recruiting women in all important places in the crew to drive the point that they are serious about women issues and rights.
Aparichitudu’ in KCR sends jitters over TRS fate in elections
The “Aparichitudu” in TRS president and Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has been sending jitters down the spine of TRS leaders and cadre.
The split-personality concept used by ace Tamil director Shankar in 1990s blockbuster “Aparichitudu’ became very popular and it earned a lot of accolades for actor Vikram.
In the move, two sharp contrasting characters come out of hero at the same time.
KCR’s talk in his ongoing election meetings are also bringing back the memories of Aparichitudu.
In one public meeting, KCR says TRS is going to win 106 seats out of 119 Assembly seats comfortably in the election results to be declared on December 11.
In the very next meeting, he hints at TRS losing elections and urges people with folded hands that the responsibility of saving KCR from defeat in the hands of Mahakutami lies with Telangana people.
This sharp contrast in his remarks from one meeting to another within a span of one-two hours has been raising the BP levels among TRS leaders and cadre.
KCR has been trying to emotionalise people by saying, “I am a lean person. To beat this lean person, starting from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP president Amit Shah, UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, Congress president Rahul Gandhi to Andhra Babu Chandrababu have joined hands and declared war on Telangana. They are not waging a war on KCR but on Telangana. The responsibility of saving me from those people lies with Telangana people.”
Within no time, KCR changes his words. “I got latest survey reports, which reveal that TRS will win not 100 seats but 106 seats. All the Opposition parties will confine to single digit. There is nothing to fear.”
KCR’s emotional appeals fearing defeat and victory utterances at the same time has been creating a sense of panic and confusion for TRS leaders and cadre at the same time, who also feel “Aparichitudu” act like KCR.
Telangana TD Says No To Lokesh, Yes To NTR
Andhra Pradesh IT minister and Telugu Desam’s national general secretary Nara Lokesh is yet to join the party campaign for the Telangana Assembly elections.
In the 2014 Assembly elections, Mr Lokesh had campaigned in Telangana and later in 2015, he also toured many districts of the state in the name of reviving the old glory of the party. However he is yet to visit Telangana for campaigning for Telugu Desam.
At a recent press conference in Visakhapatnam, Mr Lokesh had said, “If the party high command wants, I am ready to campaign in Telangana for the Assembly elections.”
In AP, several MLAs and party leaders requested Mr Lokesh to visit their constituencies. But in Telangana no such request was made by any TD candidate or party leaders.
In the Telangana Assembly elections, the TD is contesting in 13 constituencies. Moreover in Kukatpally Assembly constituency, his relative Nandamuri Suhasini is in fray.
While the TD leaders are talking about campaigning by Junior NTR, they are not so keen about Mr Lokesh.
A senior TD leader said to social media, “We are not concerned about Lokesh. We are concerned about Junior NTR – whether he will campaign or not.”
After the announcement of Ms Nandamuri Suhasini as TD’s Kukatpally candidate, there were discussions even in the social media whether her brothers Junior NTR and actor Nandamuri Kalyan Ram would campaign for her or not, Mr Lokesh.
Sudheer Babu Sells it off for Paltry Amount!
Sudheer Babu’s maiden production “Nannu Dochukunduvate” has provided him nothing but losses.
Although the film got fairly decent reviews but it has failed to strike a chord with the audiences. It was a flop in theaters.
He hoped to recover the investment from satellite and digital rights but Sudheer Babu got to see disappointment.
He refused to give away the satellite and digital rights for Rs 2 Cr before the release. He hoped that the movie would fetch great amount if it becomes a blockbuster.
Post release of the movie things have turned worse for him. Losing hopes to get better price, he finally sold off the movie for paltry Rs one crore, reports say.
“Nannu Dochukunduvate” is produced by his banner and it introduced Kannada actress Nabha Natesh.
