Nani’s production Awe has come as a huge shocker to many who have caught up the early screening of the film this Friday.

While Nani’s over-the-top statement that Awe would be a game-changer for the Telugu film industry, the film turned out to be a damp squib. Based on the severe multiple personality disorder of Kali (Kajal Aggarwal) – the concept that was dealt by Shankar and Vikram way back in Aparichitudu, and a few other films that already touched this point, the film otherwise doesn’t have anything new except dealing the cause of sexual abuse.

The only freshness in the film is that there are several power cuts within the film and visuals go just blank with only audio is heard. This happens several times and at times, it literally tests the patience of viewers.

Although the film’s concept sounds good, the film’s director falters it in the execution. With film being visual media and visuals going blank often is not very welcome change. The debutante filmmaker Prashant Varma seems to have got stuck with his short film ‘Dialogue in the dark’ that is made on virtual audio with total proceedings take place inside a ‘dark’ restaurant.

All these together make Awe and awful film.

Mega nephew, Sai Dharam Tej, who is blessed with the looks of his elder uncle, Megastar Chiranjeevi and the attitude (on-screen) of his younger uncle, Pawan Kalyan is going through the driest phase of his career.

With four flops (Thikka, Winner, Jawaan and Inttelligent – five, if we count ‘Nakshatram’) in a row, he is one hero who scares producers at the moment. His latest film, ‘Inttelligent’ incurring nearly 90 percent loss, is a testimony to how badly his market has crashed. And, unsurprisingly, the immediate aftereffect is being seen on his new projects that are in pre-production stage.

The latest we hear is that Tej’s supposed project with director Gopichand Malineni got cancelled as the producer backed out. Besides the disaster streak of Tej, the other factor that might have alerted the producer is that one of the films in the disaster streak – Winner – was directed by Malineni himself.

The reports further suggest that Malineni, who spent a long time in fine-tuning the script, has started scouting for another producer, who could be daring enough to invest on his combo with Sai Dharam Tej.

Meanwhile, Tej has shifted his total focus to his new film being directed by Karunakaran, a specialist in making romantic entertainers. This film is an out and out love story, a much needed change from the masala films he had been doing. He has another project lined up withe the critically acclaimed Chandrasekhar Yeleti. Tej completely banks on these two directors to give him an image makeover and save his sinking career.

After creating decent buzz and promising a first of its kind viewing experience in Tollywood, Nani’s “Awe” finally hit screens today.

Nani, who has been busy promoting the film relentlessly for the past few days, watched the film this morning in Hyderabad’s Imax. Upon his invite, Rajamouli and his family also attended the screening. Nivetha Thomas also made it to the show after being specially invited by Nani. She was the only notable heroine in attendance.

Surprisingly, none of the four heroines of “Awe” – Kajal, Regina Cassandra, Nithya Menen and Eesha Rebba, who had earlier promoted the film enthusiastically, didn’t make it to the Imax show. Being Nani’s two-time co-star and a good friend, Nitvetha Thomas tried her best to cover up the conspicuous absence of ‘Awe’ leading ladies.

The spat saga between Bollywood stars Hrithik Roshan and Kangana Ranaut has been a bottomless sea. With all the shocking accusations and lawsuits, the duo has been a hot topic for a time. When the intensity of their dispute is gradually decreasing over time, here is a twist to all the episodes.

Buzz is that Kangana ignited new sparks by hiring her rumoured ex-boyfriend Hrithik’s sacked manager Anjali.  After working together for twelve years, Hrithik had some problem with his manager Anjali (working through Exceed company) and sacked her. And when Anjali applied for a job, Kangana immediately hired her through her own company Bling. With Anjali being a close acquaintance with Hrithik, now many wonder what will she spill about the macho hero to Kangana.

However, Anjali trashed all such comments claiming that they have a very professional relationship and admitted that she made things clear with Queen beauty that the discussion of Hrithik will never erupt between them.

Whatever the situation is, some are confident that amidst the controversial rumours between Kangana and Hrithik, this is going to create some uncomfortable incidents between them again.
