Telugu film comedian Sudhakar, who entertained audience as one of the top comedians in 80s and 90s, has been missing from silver screen for more than a decade. The actor is now staging a comeback.

Sudhakar’s last notable appearance was in Venkatesh’s super hit family entertainer, “Sankranthi” in 2005. He was in news a few years ago when his health condition had deteriorated. After recovering, the actor maintained a low-profile for months, and is finally making a comeback to films with the upcoming Telugu film titled, “E Ee”.

The trailer of of E Ee was released recently, and it was a pleasant surprise to see a healthy Sudhakar featuring in it. He has scores of followers for his comic dialogue delivery and comedy timing. They hope that he gets active in films again and entertains all.

Title naming convention always follows sentiments in Telugu Film Industry. With ‘Preminchukundam Ra’ becoming hit, there are many films later that got a title with the word ‘ra’ in the end. Using words and lyrics from popular songs as a title is another trend.

With ‘Chitram’ becoming hit, director Teja himself followed the sentiment of naming his films with three-letter-word. Guess what, now he’s following yet another sentiment, as the film ‘Nene Raju Nene Mantri’ became a super hit. Teja wants his next to be titled with a similar four-word line. And here it goes.

Apparently Teja’s next featuring Sr hero Venkatesh will go on floors from December 13th on the eve of the Daggubati scion’s birthday. Reportedly the film is likely to be titled as “Aata Naadhe, Veta Naadhe”. As the title suggests, it’s four-word line that rhymes with Teja’s latest hit ‘Nene Raju Nene Mantri’.

More than following sentiments, it is the content of a film that actually makes it work at box office. Leaving his trademark forests, exaggerated love stories and cliched heroism, Teja came out of the closet with his recent hit film. Hope he finds such smashing content yet again that these sentiments alone.

The makers of “Mahanati”, a biopic on yesteryear actress Savitri have pulled a casting coup of sorts by roping in Keerthy Suresh, Samantha, Dulquer Salman and a few other prominent faces for key roles. However, finding actors to play the roles of NTR and ANR has remained a daunting task for them.

Producer Ashwini Dutt hoped to rope in NTR Jr and Naga Chaitanya Akkineni to play their respective grandfathers in Mahanati, but both the actors softly rejected the proposal. The latest reports suggest that a replacement for Chaitu has been found.

Vijay Devarakonda has been on board the film for a while but there was no official info on whose character he was essaying. Buzz is that he is playing the role of none other than legendary ANR. Vijay’s camaraderie with director Nag Ashwin, who gave second lead role to him in “Yevade Subramanyam” is one of the reasons why the “Arjun Reddy” star agreed to act in “Mahanati”.

It needs to be seen who plays NTR Sr.

With Pawan Kalyan all set to take an active plunge into politics, diverse opinions are being witnessed from industry people. Senior actor Naresh feels that Pawan can bring back the golden period of NTR if he becomes the CM.

The actor has made a tweet to wish Kamal Haasan on the eve of his birthday. Since the senior hero is gearing up to join politics, Naresh wrote, “Millions of fans & people are dreaming of Kamalji & POWER STAR P.K as CM. If this happens it will reflect the golden period of NTR & MGR.”

What surprised everyone is Naresh comparing Pawan with Sr NTR, and exuding confidence that he can become as big a people’s leader as the TDP founder was.

Naresh, who joined BJP when he himself decided to enter politics, quit politics a few years ago after a brief stint. The actor however maintained that politics is his passion, and still harbors the dream of becoming a successful politician.

Following Naresh’s eulogizing tweet on Pawan, some people say that he hopes to join Jana Sena party and renew his political career.

Forget box office collections, his ways of making masala movies is enticing B & C centres like never before. After Pataas, Supreme and Raja The Great, surely director Anil Ravipudi became a most wanted filmmaker for stars in need of commercial hits.

Apparently, this director now wants to make a multi-starrer movie, with Venkatesh in the lead. For other hero, we hear that he’s likely to rope in his Supreme star Sai Dharam Tej. The film will be on the lines of huge action comedy and reportedly the title “F2: Fun and Frustration” is registered for the same.

Earlier when Anil wrote some awesome English liners for Venky’s Masala movie, the senior hero got bowled out and now immediately agreed to star in this F2, says a source. Coming to Sai Dharam Tej’s part, there is no clarity yet, but in the coming days, it will be announced.

Whether this film will be produced by Dil Raju or not is yet to be known, but if Venky stars in it, then it is going to be his series of multi-starrers following Seethamma Vaakitlo, Masala, Gopala Gopala. Watch this space for more updates.
