Megastar Chiranjeevi is now busy finalising the budget, locales and final draft of the script for his prestigious 151st movie, Uyyalavada Narasimha Reddy. The actor wants to analyse Bahubali2 and understand what will work in his period costume drama.

The actor does have great knowledge when it comes commercial entertainers but the beach graphics oriented films did not work for him. His Anji became a flop and even Mrugaraju with some graphic work, did not work at box office. So the actor wants to be sure about audience taste and what should VFX work quality be to work the magic.

Supreme hero Sai Dharam Tej was caught by journos during the launching ceremony of Samsung Galaxy-8. Sai looked more handsome and stylish in the event. As we know, the hero is busy working for a patriotic film ‘Jawan’. As such, it maybe assumed that Sai will be at his best at looks in his upcoming film.

Director turned writer BVS Ravi is helming the project. The movie features Mehreen in female lead role. Thaman scores music of the movie. Dil Raju is presenting the movie while Krishna bankrolls the project.

Sai Dharam Tej’s previous films ‘Thikka’ and ‘Winer’ failed at the box office. He is expected to strike back with ‘Jawan’. Apart from ‘Jawan’, Sai played a crucial role as a cop in Krishna Vamsi’s ‘Nakshatram’.

Baahubali 2 is the biggest ever film India has ever seen and those mammoth collections are a big example of this. More than that, this film has grown into a brand with popular brands doing the unthinkable for the film.

Generally, it is films that require brands such that their production costs will get cut and also their visibility will be big. That’s the primary thing leading them to go for in-film branding to bring various products to be showcased in the film. Such scope remains fully out of place for Baahubali as the film happens to be a mesmeric folklore epic with no modern touch. Still, Baahubali didn’t run for products, but various brands ran after this mighty movie.

Needless to say, Baahubali itself has grown into a big brand ever since the release of first part in 2015 where people owned the film like never before. That led to Big Brands using Baahubali 2 as a platform to launch their new offers, products, whatever. Have a look at some of them in next slides.

Baahubali 2, which has been making a mockery of the highest grossing Kannada films in Karnataka by raking in more than two times the numbers of regional films, has been forced to slow down its rampage at box office.

The Karnataka government has now capped the ticket prices at all theatres in the state at Rs 200. Moreover, it has been made mandatory for multiplexes to screen Kannada and regional films during prime time (between 1.30 pm to 7.30 pm). The ‘Gold Class Screen’, ‘Gold Class Seats’, IMAX and 4DX screens have been exempted from this ceiling.

The move by the state govt. came barely a day after Chief Minister Siddaramaiah along with his family watched ‘Baahubali 2’ at a multiplex. The ceiling on ticket prices comes into immediate effect, which will in turn hamper the collections of Baahubali 2.

Interim, Baahubali 2 has already emerged as the country’s industry hit film by raking around Rs 780 crore worldwide gross in just 6 days.

Shraddha Kapoor is one of the heroines who has high success ratio among Bollywood hot beauties. ‘Rock On 2’ was the only failure in her career.. and such is the success ratio of Shraddha. Even though she is so successful, she has rarely appeared on the cover pages of famous magazines.

Shraddha has recently appeared on the cover page of Harper’s Bazaar Bride magazine as a new generation bride. Shraddha looked beatiful in Blue -Purple combination Sabyasaschi Lehenga. We have to say hats off to Shraddha as he appeared in modern generation style in the tradition bridal getup. The quotation ‘Art Weds Fashion’ perfectly suited her cover page photograph. The major highlight of her getup is the cleavage show of Shraddha.

As Shraddha appeared in bridal getup, jewellery can not be missed.. Shraddha followed it and appeared in matching jewellery. But more than all these things, it is her cleavage which gets the immediate attention of the viewers. When it comes to her films, she has completed ‘Half Girl Friend’ and the movie is ready for release. She is doing Dawood Ibrahim sister biopic ‘Haseena -The Queen of Mumbai’. On the other hand, she has lined up Saina Nehwal biopic also.

Who dares to blast Bollywood in the name of Baahubali? Already many celebs are in awe of this big budgeted giant which is reaping crores from the box office in no time. But the sound designer who worked on this Rajamouli’s magnum opus says, Bollywood would never make such film.

PM Sateesh, a National Award winning sound designer who created stunning sound for films like Kaminey and Ishqiya, has worked on Baahubali has well. Using Dolby Atmos technology and recording various folio for Baahubali 2 at Ramoji Film City’s godowns, he created stunning output for the movie. As he’s getting a unanimous appreciation for his work, he reveals why Bollywood can’t a Baahubali due to two reasons.

“In Bollywood, we lack the discipline to make such a film. When such a film is happening in Telugu cinema definitely Bollywood should also pull one. Bollywood biggies will not even listen to what a technician says. But in Telugu cinema, if we could logically convince the director and producer, the job is done, no questions asked” said Sateesh in an interview with a national media house. If this is reason one, he says that ‘budget’ is the reason two.

“No doubt Bollywood films will have huge budgets, but if the budget is 600 crores then only 100 crores goes to production while big stars eat up remaining 500 crores as their remuneration. But in Telugu cinema, the whole of 600 crores goes into production and that’s how Baahubali is made” Sateesh added, as a second reason.

Well, as Baahubali is a magnanimous hit, no one could deny this comments. Let’s see how Bollywood folks will respond.

Social media is right now abuzz that director SS Rajamouli has copied his own story for the film “Baahubali” and tweaked it a little before sugar coating with visual effects. Here it goes.

A short story for you first – “A super caring mother has two sons, one is an adopted elder son and other one is her own offspring. And she develops more affection on the elder one, which isn’t being liked by the younger sibling. Finally, the younger one succeeds in planting bitter stuff about his brother in Mother’s mind. As Mother now hates the elder one, younger one feels happy. Climax of the story is how elder one makes mommy realise that he’s a good guy and the ensuring ending for any revenge drama”

More than finding shades of Rajnikanth’s Dalapathi here, you’ll say that this is straight away “Chatrapathi” story. What if the name of the mother is Sivagami, elder one is Amarendra Baahubali and younger son is Bhallaladeva. It’s the same story, isn’t it?

While Vizag refugee camp shifted to Mahishmati, initially Sri Lanka is the place where Sivudu hails from. Except changing story line and order a little, adding few more characters, many feel that both Baahubali franchise and Chatrapathi have the same story line.

There are those screenplay experts who say that there are only seven types of stories in the world. Seems like Rajamouli got struck with one.
