AR Rahman Or Local Talent? Nani Is Confused
Picking right technicians will somehow help a film big time to score at the box office. Sometimes films with average story and narration will turn blockbuster due to the presence of these amazing cinematographers and composers.  Â
Bang on that, we are talking about Nani’s upcoming film that will be directed by Vikram K Kumar of “Manam” fame. For this crime thriller, actually, Vikram is said to have suggested two names and one of that is none other than AR Rahman. The maestro, however, demands nearly 4 crores but the director is said to be projecting his name, contemplating that it would bring huge freshness to the project.
And if not Rahman, the name Vikram suggested is our very own local talent Anup Rubens. This director and composer have delivered musical albums like Ishq, Manam and Hello so far. We hear that Nani is confused whether he should get with Rahman or Anup, or he should pick his own choice.
From the last couple of times, Nani is either banking on Devi Sri Prasad or he is going with Gopi Sundar. Let’s what happens.
Raju Decided to Give a Hand to Nani’s Director
Dil Raju has reiterated his ideology that any director debuting from his stable will be sent outside only with a hit film. That’s the reason he makes movies again with those debutants who made flops in his banner.
The likes of Vasu Varma and Venu Sriram who made debut in Raju’s banner with flop films are given second chances by Dil Raju in that way. Venu Sriram made his debut with ‘Oh My Friend’, which tanked at the box office. After waiting for years in Dil Raju’s compound, he has recently directed Nani in MCA.
Despite the fact that MCA did well at box office, many cinema lovers felt that the story and direction are just average, and only Nani is the saving factor for the film while Bhumika’s presence is another good addition. And then, Venu Sriram is yet to get a nod for his next film from heroes.
We hear that Dil Raju is giving a hand to this director and wants him to bag a proper success at any cost. Now he is making Venu narrate stories to Sharwanand and other heroes. However, Sharwa has rejected that story and moved to another director. So we have to see which hero will okay Venu Sriram’s story now!
Chota K Naidu Is Not Done Yet, Here’s Why!
For the kind of thing he has done to starlet Kajal Agarwal on the stage, many have termed cinematographer Chota K Naidu as rude and crude. He has kissed her on the stage, for which the actress even shot back saying ‘chance pe dance’. Moving on, many felt that Chota’s game is over after this event.
Apparently, both Kajal and Chota have worked together for the nth time, this time for the upcoming release ‘Kavacham’. And many felt that the ace cinematographer’s time has come for the departure. But seriously, despite such a talk on his attitude and else, he is going to stay here for a long for sure. Here is why.
Many film crews have gone to Dubai earlier to shoot their songs, but not every cinematographer has shot it like Chota. Have a look at Kavacham video songs, Dulhara Tumhara and the one with Mehreen, where Chota’s charms are going to surprise you for sure. Going by such awesome work, which big hero will not pick him yet again for his films?
All said and done, Chota also should tune his public display of affection to match his technical brilliance.

3 Reasons Why NTR Didn’t Campaign
Nandamuri fans had waited with bated breath to catch the glimpse of Jr NTR and Kalyan Ram campaigning for their loving sister Nandamuri Suhasini. However, NTR and Kalyan Ram chose to stay away from poll campaign. Except a press release wishing their sister all the best, Tarak and Kalyan hardly came out to support their sister in her first-ever election battle.
And there is a wide debate among TDP leaders and party workers that why NTR hasn’t campaigned for TDP in Kukatpally. One of the reasons is that NTR is busy with the shoot of RRR being directed by Rajamouli and his look from the film should be guarded. However, Tarak’s bulky look from RRR has already come out and there’s no surprise. Then the moot question is why NTR hasn’t campaigned for his sister. Check out the three reasons why NTR didn’t campaign in Kukatpally.
Reason 1
Apparently, neither Chandrababu Naidu nor Balakrishna have asked NTR to campaign in Kukatpally. Although his sister Suhasini has sought Tarak and Kalyan Ram, none of the party’s top leaders from TDP have approached NTR to campaign in Kukatpally. When media asked Balayya about NTR’s campaign, he responded saying that it depends on his film schedule and commitments. But Balayya or Naidu haven’t openly invited NTR to campaign in Kukatpally.
Reason 2
Also, TDP is very confident of bagging Kukatpally seat particularly after the campaign of Chandrababu, Paritala Sunita, Ram Mohan Naidu, Balakrishna and Nandamuri Deepika (wife of late Nandamuri Janaki Ram), and Taraka Ratna. So, the party doesn’t want NTR to take away the credit of winning Kukatpally. TDP is of the opinion that if NTR wants to campaign they don’t have any objection, but they were keen that they don’t want to seek NTR to campaign. Aware of this, NTR chose to stay away from the campaign.
Reason 3
And the third and important reason is that NTR doesn’t want to spoil his relationship with KCR and KTR family. As there are doubts that KCR could return to power, NTR doesn’t want to mess with KCR as it could even effect his films that release in Telangana given that Nizam is the biggest market for NTR. Although the surveys of Lagadapati are in favour of Praja Kutami, one is not sure what happens on 11th Dec. And it also depends on the voting percentage as well. If the voter turnout is high, Praja Kutami is predicted to have higher chances whereas if the voter turnout is less, TRS is expected to have chances to comeback to power. Given such volatile political situation, NTR didn’t want to take any chances.
Bunny Demands, Maruthi Agrees!
Over the years, Stylish Star Allu Arjun has been working with several top filmmakers and at the same time made many efforts to encourage new talent. Though Allu Arjun shares a great bonding with director Maruthi and never shied away from lending his support to him, they never has got a chance to colloborate for a project. But, Bunny always shown interest to work in his direction. In the past, Allu Sirish was directed by Maruthi for ‘Kotha Janta’.
But, it now looks like time has come for Maruthi’s collaboration with Bunny. Film Nagar sources tell us that the director approached his friend with a script and offered his narration that to the actor. But, the DJ star who isn’t totally convinced with the script seems to have suggested few changes in second half. The actor, whose last movie Naa Peru Surya bombed at box-office, has reportedly put forward a few changes in the story to which Maruthi has readily agreed.
On other hand, Bunny signed an untitled project that is to be directed by Trivikram Srinivas. As soon as the script of Maruthi’s film gets finalized, Stylish Star will be working on both the movies simultaneously.
Rahul refuses to name CM candidate for Telangana
Congress party president Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday refused to name the chief ministerial candidate for Telangana, before the election results which would be declared on December 11.Rahul told media before winding up the election campaign that the chief minister would be decided only after the election results.
“Our primary objective is to dethrone KCR in the ensuing elections at any cost. Once we win the elections, we shall think about the CM candidate,” he said.Answering a question, Rahul expressed confidence that the Maha Kootami would win the Telangana elections hands down.
“There is perfect coordination among all the alliance partners and in future, too, they would work together. KCR’s body language shows he is insecure and is on the losing side,” he said.Rahul alleged that Telangana chief minister had supported several anti-people decisions of Modi government including demonetisation and GST because it would give scope for massive corruption.“We shall strive to realise the dreams of thousands of youth who had fought to bring statehood to Telangana,” he said.
He also said that the party would provide employment opportunities to the unemployed youth in the state besides arranging food processing units to farmers.Government colleges and schools in the state will be developed, giving importance to the education sector, said Rahul.
He also said that the party will provide better medical services to the people after coming to power.
Campaigning Ends. It’s Time For Decision!
The campaigning for the Telangana assembly elections came to an end at last on Wednesday evening, leaving the voters to think and decide who they should vote for on Friday.In fact, the election process in the state began three months ago, which is a huge time in any elections.It started with the dissolution of the Telangana state assembly on September 6 by Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao who also declared candidates for 105 assembly segments on the same day.
While KCR ended his campaign at Gajwel, his own constituency, Congress president Rahul Gandhi and TDP Chief Nara Chandrababu Naidu concluded their pitch for the four parties Praja Kutami with a public meeting in Kodad of Nalgonda district.
The TRS had begun its campaign well ahead of the opposition parties, almost three months ago, while Maha Kootami could not take a shape till November 19, the last day for filing of nominations.Yet, the grand alliance has been able to give a very tough fight to the TRS and according to the latest surveys, both the sides stand equal chance to win the elections.
The electioneering witnessed some bigwigs from across the country taking part in the campaign.
Rahul and Naidu addressed a series of road shows, and the BJP responded with three public meetings by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. BJP national chief Amit Shah, union ministers Rajnath Singh, Nitin Gadkari and Sushma Swaraj and chief ministers of BJP ruled states also pitched in.
It remains to be seen how the people of Telangana deliver their verdict on December 11
Trade: Bellamkonda Finally Gets It Right!
Bellamkonda Srinivas has been working with top rated directors and high budgets till now.The films may not have worked out at the box office, but the strategy has surely paid off as Bellamkonda’s films are drawing very good offers from business circles.
He has a solid market of Rs. 30 crore now and for Kavacham they made sure to keep the budget under Rs. 30 crore mark.This has paid off for its makers as they are likely to make six to seven crore profit prior to release.
Satellite, digital and other rights were bagged for Rs. 15 crore and the theatricals fetched around Rs. 20 crore as per trade sources. The budget of Kavacham is around Rs. 28 crore.Going by the business figures of Kavacham, Bellamkondas have decided to keep the budget of Teja’s film under Rs. 30 crore.
With a senior director like Teja at the helm, the film is likely to fetch higher prices if Kavacham turns out to be a commercial success.
