Despite there has been an overdose of horror comedies in theatres in last two years or so, the success percentage is very bleak. With routine plots and cliched spooky moments, rarely a few films came across to exploit the true potential of the horror comedy genre. The latest Telugu release, ‘Anando Brahma’ is a refreshing change.

The small film (in budget, but not on content), which managed to create decent pre-release buzz, has largely lived up to the expectations on it. Comedy clicked big time, especially in the second half. Vennela Kishore, Sreenivasa Reddy and Shakalaka Shankar received immense acclaim, so was the film’s director Mahi V Raghav.

A boost in collections was observed on Saturday and Sunday as a result of encouraging word of mouth. The best part is Anando Brahma sustained competition from two biggies of last week, Nene Raju Nene Manthri and Jaya Janaki Nayaka, which are still doing decent business at box office.

With decent reviews and positive word of mouth, the Taapsee starrer has reportedly minted good money at box office over the first weekend. Anando Brahma is emerging as the Sleeper Hit of 2017. The range of this film’s success depends on the performance of next Friday releases.

At times when several star kids are gearing up to make debut as a hero, the young talent named Teja is also set for big screen appearance but not as a debutant.

Teja is not a star kid but he was a kid who portrayed the child roles of several stars including Megastar Chiranjeevi. Just to recall- he is the child actor of Indra who beats his thigh to the thunder with a sword in other hand.

Having featured in more than 50 films as a child artist, Master Teja is a well-known face for Telugu audiences. Known for his mesmerizing performance in Yuvaraju, Tagore, Indra, Samba, Bachi & others, Teja Sajja is now making his adult debut as a ‘Hero’ in the film Prashant Varma. The young actor has recently proved his mettle in a short film ‘Dialogue in the Dark’.

Bekkam Venugopal will be producing this youthful love story and newcomer Hari will helm the project that will take off from 15th September. Uyyala Jampala and Swamy Ra Ra fame Sunny M.R will score audio tunes.

On that note, let us wish Teja all success as a lead actor and continue to impress us like the way he did as child actor!

Bigg Boss Telugu reality show, which first looked as another lame Bollywood import, is slowly but steadily turning out to be a must watch programme, especially on Saturday and Sunday, all thanks to one man, NTR Jr.

The star hero’s ease, verbosity and spontaneity keeps getting better as the show progresses. In the Last night’s episode, NTR, who is the Host on the show, danced even along with the participants during the ‘Musical Chairs’ game. No other star hero could have made the game so entertaining. His sense of humor is something that is taking viewers as well as the participants by surprise.

His talkative skill being of chivalrous yet not making it look offensive proves why he was the best option to host this controversy-prone show. The consistent high ratings the show has been getting on Saturday and Sunday is largely because of NTR’s skillful hosting.

Just like Salman Khan as the host of Hindi Bigg Boss, NTR is most likely to stay as the host of Telugu version for years, since it is hard to imagine the show without the ‘Janatha Garage’ star.

Akkineni Nagarjuna is known for his business prowess and the way he plans and promotes his films is also quite interesting. More than that, his Promotion Team rocks all the way when it comes to taking a film into audiences. But every film will have similar Promotion Team know? That’s where Nagarjuna and Co make the difference.

For example, in no time Akhil’s latest movie, which is likely to be titled “Hello”, got huge attention in quick two days. And that promotion team Nagarjuna owns is majorly responsible for this. If any film is coming up from Annapurna Studios compound, then Nagarjuna will tweet about, followed by his army consisting Naga Chaitanya, Akhil, Sumanth, and Sushant. Recently Samantha also joined this gang and they write about any Annapurna Studios film on their timeline. That leads to nearly half-a-dozen celebrities pouring love on a film, and definitely, it will become a talk of the town immediately.

Sometimes other good friends of Akkinenis like Rana Daggubati and Rakul Preet also join this promotion gang. Even Akkineni Studio Insider, lady director Chunia, also promotes any of their films through her social network pages.

On a whole, this promotion gang is surprising Tollywood with their utter sincerity and dedication by their ways of taking a film into people. Other camps like Mega camp and Nandamuri camp also have few members active on twitter and facebook, but their promotions are little low compared to the Annapurna Studio camp.
