An emotional montage video with Nandamuri Balakrishna’s powerful voice has been unveiled today by the makers of NTR, the most-awaited biopic of legendary NTR. Drawing parallels with Lord Rama and how his story was narrated by his sons Lava and Kusa, Balakrishna said all the children of NTR have come forward to tell the story of NTR. He said he finally found the Sage Valmiki, the author of  Ramayana – Krish Jagarlamudi for NTR. He said it is the beginning of another epic. He said it will be another master piece just like their previous collaboration Gautamiputra Satakarni.

Director Krish said, “I thank Balakrishna garu for believing in me and giving me the huge responsibility (of directing NTR Biopic). This is not just the responsibility of a film. It is the responsibility that mirrors the love and self-respect of all Telugu people. I swear that I do it with utmost involvement.”

Krish who had directed Balayya’s landmark 100th film will also direct NTR Biopic. The film is jointly produced by Balakrishna, Vishnu Induri and Sai Korrapati.

Seems like with Naga Shaurya himself requesting the critics to not review the film if they feel that it is beyond the ‘three-stars’ range, not many gave their verdict on the movie. But it looks like the young hero made a mistake by asking that way.

Apparently in the last two days, Saturday and Sunday, people wanted to make most of their last weekend holidays of the summer season. With schools and colleges reopening from this week, people rushed to theatres to catch up one more last film in theatres. And surprisingly, that led to Ammamma Garillu recording fulls in many theatres.

Though the content of the film is pretty close to Satamanam Bhavati, audiences are said to be enjoying it. Especially Rao Ramesh’s presence and Shakalaka Shankar’s comedy are somewhat attention pullers in this film with an outdated plot and sinister romantic track. But still, for its budget, the film is working like a slow poison at the box office, say reports.

Trade experts feel that had Naga Shourya promoted the film a bit, it would have registered interesting collections in the first weekend. But due to lack of buzz and lack of any push marketing from movie’s core team, the film might suffer from Monday.

Andhra University has conferred the famous Kalaprapoorna title for the popular Telugu Film Lyricist Chandrabose. So, he can be called Kalaprapoorna Chandrabose now.

While many are happy over the deserving title for Chandrabose, some film celebrities are lamenting that the title would have been first given to Sirivennela Seetarama Sastry. But Sastry was given the Kalaratna award by the government of Andhra Pradesh recently, whereas the title was not as famous as Kalaprapoorna.

Kalaprapoorna is unlike any government title and can used as prefix before the name.  Renowned music director Ilayaraja and first generation film singer Rao Balasaraswati were also conferred with the same title this year along with Chandrabose.

Chandrabose turned super famous with his latest songs in Rangasthalam. His songs “Mounamgaane edagamani..”, “Telugu bhasha teeyadanam…” etc and the title song of Rangasthalam with philosophical lines prove to be imperishable songs in the history of Telugu Film literature.

Well, Sirivennela Seetarama Sastry is certainly a bigger literary giant than Chandrabose who certainly deserves Padma award. It is only the responsibility of either Telangana government or AP government to recommend his name at least in coming season.

Who wouldn’t love to enjoy the oomph factor generated by the Bollywood’s most happening Sunny Leone? At the same time, she’s got reasonably good number of fans who would feel empathy for the pain she’s going through.

Going into the news -a documentary film ‘Karanjit Kaur- The Untold story of Sunny Leone’ has been recently made based on the real story of the sexy siren. Sunny herself played her role in the biopic film and it showcases how Karenjit (Sunny’s original Punjabi name) transformed into Sunny Leone and what was her life in Canada as an adult star.

The Jism2 actress watched the special premiere of the document a few days back and it made her totally emotional and reminded her of the early days as ‘Karanjit Kaur’. The grieving Sunny has used to her Twitter page and posted what she’d gone through – ‘My heart broke a thousand times tonight…probably cried a thousand tears tonight wanting, longing, missing, regreting, and wishing I could have you close to me once more. That day will never come but in my heart you will always remain! #karenjitkaur guilty of doing it my way!!!’

Certainly, millions of her worldwide fans replied with hundreds of cheer up messages and in another tweet, she said, ‘You all are so sweet for all your kind words.’

The season of biopics is being joined by films that deal with real incidents also. And Bollywood has now come up with a film on India’s first nuclear tests done at Pokhran in 1998. The film got released yesterday and have a look at how it is working out.

Opening to mixed reviews, John Abraham’s Parmanu: The Story Of Pokhran got applause from elite classes for showcasing what happened around that time and how USA-China felt uneasy with India getting access to the nuclear club. Directed by Abhishek Sharma, the film opened in almost 2000 screens in India alone but we have to say the opening day collections were dismal.

It made only 4.82 crores nett on the First Day, though many expected that the figures will touch 10 crores owing to the huge number of screens it released in. They say that the IPL semifinal (Qualifier 2) between Sun Risers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight riders has dented the film’s first show and second show collections, the overall low key promotions did the additional damage. However, a good word of mouth might help the film.

As per critics, the film’s first half is little slow as the director took sweet time to establish the scenes, characters and the backdrop. But in the second hour, the film turned racy and everyone is waiting to find out from the edge of their seat as to how India got succeeded at Pokhran despite a couple of big countries holding us back.

If two big forces are coming together, surely the buzz around that film stands at the pinnacle no matter what is the result of their previous individual projects. That’s what happening with Trivikram and Jr NTR’s upcoming film “Aravinda Sametha”.

According to the Exclusive reports, the USA business of the film is close to closing almost. We hear that LA.Telugu, the distributor who has taken Agnyaatavaasi is also going to distribute this movie too. Whether Aravinda Sametha is being given to them as a compensation as a fair business practice or that they have quoted high is not known, but the deal is anywhere between 13-15 crores for the theatrical rights, say sources.

If we look at NTR”s previous films, Janata Garage was sold for almost 7.26 crores and the film made nearly 2 million gross from the box office (12 crores), which resulted in huge profits for the distributors. But his Jai Lava Kusa that got sold for 8+ crores collected only 5.1 crores share (1.7+ million gross), resulting in some losses. But now that Trivikram is at the helm, “Aravinda Sametha” stuck a deal anywhere between 13-15 crores easily. But the onus lies on the film’s content as it has to collect more than 3 million to recover those figures.

Surely USA deal is exciting because NTR will be setting a huge target in place and might achieve it as well owing to his hit-spree and Trivikram’s content magic. Let’s see what happens.
