Gundamma Katha, the everlasting social film on Telugu Film Screen has got all the commercial entertaining ingredients which can be rebooted again and again. All it needs is to match that imperishable story and characters to the contemporary time with respect to sets, properties and dialogue.

Many discussions happened earlier to remake this film with Nagarjuna and Balakrishna in later 80s. Eventually, nothing happened but now the discussions are surfacing again. It is discussed among a few technicians who can play what if “Gundamma Katha” is remade now.

Unanimously, everyone opined to see Anasuya in the title role Gundamma. But who can play the role of Durgamma played by Chaya Devi, who equally quarrels with Gundamma in the film? A few suggested the name of Hema.

Well, here are the possible actors for the characters in the film came in discussion.

NTR (Anji)- Jr NTR
ANR (Raja)- Naga Chaitanya
Savitri (Lakshmi)- Keerthi Suresh
Jamuna (Saroja)- Samantha Â
Suryakantham (Gundamma)- Anasuya
Chaya Devi (Durgamma)- Hema
SV Ranga Rao (Ramabhadriah)- Prakash Raj
Harnath (Prabhakar)- Sumanth Or Sushanth
L Vijaya Lakshmi (Padma)- Saloni or Praneeta
Ramana reddy (Ghantiah)- Rao Ramesh

The film “Meena” was rebooted by Trivikram with the title “A Aa” and that made good sound at the box office. Similar rebooting can be done with Gundamma Katha. Also with the success of Mahanati, it is proved that the respect for old actors and old stories is very big among the contemporary audience. Let us wish the bigwigs from any big banner think about it seriously to make it happen by 2020 at least!

After failing to meet the high expectations on Kabali, director PA Ranjith and Superstar Rajinikanth is back with Kaala. The one-and-half minute odd trailer is not up to the mark. The trailer has no high moments.

Set against the backdrop of Mumbai’s slum Dharavi, Rajini is seen as a slum-dweller and leader of masses. His emergence as man of the masses is what film primarily deals about along with the prevailing issues such as land.

The trailer seems to be heavily inspired from Mario Puzo’s classic The Godfather triology. Rajini’s looks are also quite similar to his last film Kabali. Rajini will be seen sporting two avatars in Kaala. Especially the Telugu-dubbed trailer is a dampener as the dubbing is not so impressive. Looks like, the makers should have worked more on the Telugu version more since Rajini has humongous fan base in Telugu states too.

Overall, it’s a pretty average trailer from Kaala. But, one has to wait and see, how Rajini would pull it off.

Young hero Akhil was all set to marry sometime ago when got engaged to his heartthrob Shriya Bhupal, who happens to be the granddaughter of (daughter’s daughter) of prominent businessman GVK. But the marriage was called off due to unknown reasons and the Akkineni hero shifted his focus to films.

Recently, Shriya Bhupal goes engaged to Apollo emperor Pratap Reddy’s grandson, a cousin of mega daughter-in-law Upasana Kamineni, one Anindith Reddy Konda. He happens to be a healthcare entrepreneur and a race car driver and also named National MotorSports Person of the Year 2017 after he won some races. Shriya is known for her fashion designing house Shriya Som. While the engagement of this took place in April this year, other day they tied the knot at a terrific destination.

Chateau de Chantilly is a historic semi-fort like palace known to history since the 1480s and located in the town of Chantilly, France, about 50 kilometres north of Paris. Other day the whole of Apollo family along with GVKs and also the Som Bhupal’s (Shriya’s father family) are present at the venue, to bless the couple. Guess what, Tollywood’s very heartthrob Ram Charan and his wife Upasana turned major attraction at the place. Also, Upasana shared a picture of her as she posed candidly with hubby.

The who is who of the big Reddy entrepreneur families are said to have attended the wedding and some say that it is a Christian wedding ceremony with some mixed Hindu traditions that took place. The wedding is kept completely out of media glare.

We have seen some weddings of star celebs like Samantha, Bhavana and Priyamani down south and up north we’ve seen Anushka Sharma, Sonam and Neha Dhupia getting married early this month. And here is another star heroine getting ready to tie the knot with a star hero.

It’s none other than “Padmaavat” beauty Deepika Padukone who is in a relationship with superstar Ranveer Singh from last five years. Apparently, the couple is hiding the news but they are likely to get married in November in a family ceremony like an Anushka but might throw a big part to everyone like a Sonam.

The latest buzz is that Deepika-Ranveer is not flying to any special destination to walk the sacred seven steps. From taking vows to walking hand in hand, we hear that the couple will get married on November 19th in Mumbai only. Till date both the stars, neither spoke openly about their relationship nor they endorsed that they are getting married.

Meanwhile, from last two months, Deepika is not evening signing a movie and it looks like she wants to take a break for marriage and decide on things later.

Year 2017 was magnificent for Telugu Film Industry where we had biggest hits like Khaidi #150, Gautamiputra Satakarni, Satamanam Bhavati, Ghazi Attack and of course the world renowned Bahubali-2.

Keeping the rest aside, in the year 2019 both Mega Star Chiranjeevi and Nandamuri Balakrishna are coming up with their epic films Sye Raa and NTR respectively.

The films are being made on large scale and freshly Nandamuri Balakrishna announced the name of Jagarlamudi Krish as the director of NTR. Expectations soared higher now with this new announcement knowing how Krish makes the films with respect and commitment.

While Savitri’s biopic Mahanati itself made a big noise at the box office, the result of NTR Biopic is left to the imagination of all.

On the other hand Surender Reddy’s “Sye Raa” has already made the atmosphere warm with some stills leaked from the sets. It is needless to say that this film shoots up the expectations once the promotion starts.

All in all, two big treats from beg heroes are confirmed for 2019 and both the films are considered blockbusters much before their actual making.

Critically acclaimed actor Aamir Khan shocked everyone by stating that he is not a natural actor. He said unlike others he has to work his way through a performance to reach the perfect pitch. Aamir said he has a sense of what a good performance entails but it takes him a while to embody the character.

“When I see actors like Naseer (Nasseruddin Shah), Om Puri ji, Raghubir Yadav, Dilip Kumar sahab, Amitabh Bachchan ji and Zaira Wasim, I feel they are a powerhouse. When they give their shot, there is so much belief in them and it comes out very naturally and effortlessly. I don’t feel that I have that gift. I feel I have to work myself up to that level, it will take a bit of effort to reach to that level,” Aamir said.

Aamir, who has completed 30 years in the film industry, said he fights through his doubts and does not mind going through multiple rehearsals if it can better the performance.

Citing the example of Dangal, Aamir said it took Wasim just a week to pick up the Haryanavi accent, whereas he struggled for four months to learn it.

“I am not a natural (actor). When I start my first reading I feel I am very bad, like when the reading of ‘Lagaan’ was happening I was like director Ashutosh Gowariker shouldn’t drop me as other actors like Raghubir ji are doing good. My first reading is always pathetic and I start working on it.”

The 53-year-old star says he needs time to rehearse, especially learn his lines beforehand. “I do rehearsals for three to four months before a film (shoot). I rehearse with the director, then I do rehearsals alone. That’s when I memorise my lines so that when I am on the set, I’ll be ready. It should be your lines and not the writer’s line. I write lines as well.”
