In Talk: Namrata's Style Statement

namrata

Despite being out of the films from a long time, former Miss India Namrata Shirodkar enjoys the status of top celebrity, thanks to her business plans crafted for Mahesh Babu, which made him a superstar.

Currently, Namrata is eyeing a multi-starer movie that marks her return to films and before that, she’s creating a storm with her style statements. Other day Namrata has attended a small event at a shopping mall in Hyderabad and stunned onlookers with her graceful look. Then today she took part in another event, where she’s seen throwing absolute stylish looks.

Bob-haircut, bell bottom pants and apple cut shirts- are all making Namrata look a million bucks. The way she’s carrying those vintage looks with ease is definitely a note to take for young heroines who are trying to impress with their fashionista treats.

While Namrata’s recent devotional trip to Tirupathi is the reason behind her short haircut, as she tonsured her head completely as an offering to Lord Balaji, her matching dressing and accessories for her vintage looking hair cut is what makes her look special.

Nani's Transformation: 'mass hero'

Share

nani

With “Nenu Local” running well at theatres, hero Nani should have got one clarity to his mind. Here in this movie, he is more of a mass hero who has terrific punch dialogue throwing abilities and stylish fighting traits too. And selecting this script itself is giving a new message to aspiring directors and trade experts out there.

Actually, Nani has struck to love stories all the time, but he’s not incorporating that mass-action factor into his movies recently. That’s the reason he is not coming out of the ‘lover boy’ image. And efforts to move into ‘mass hero’ zone by this young hero have started now. After coming up with a movie like Nenu Local that has more of mass elements, Nani now picked the title “Mass Hero” itself, if we have to believe reports.

While Nani’s latest movie is set in USA backdrop and has newcomer Siva directing it, we hear that the title being considered for the film is Mass Hero. That’s a true shocker for Nani’s fans, as they never expected him to take a ‘mass’ turn this way. And guess what, Nani’s transformation to a mass hero has its benefits.

Currently, in the 25-30 crores zone, Nani’s fame as a most dependable hero will grow if he takes up mass films as such movies will be safe-ventures most of the times. In that case, Nani’s remuneration will grow first, budgets invested in his films will increase and then the profits reaped by his distributors and buyers will also budge. Surely everyone will get a hike.

So if anyone asks ‘natural star’ Nani #NextEnti? Then he will say, Mass, Oora Mass!!

In a big blow, AIADMK’s interim general secretary and CM nominee VK Sasikala was sentenced to jail. The Supreme Court ordered Sasikala to serve the rest of her jail sentence of 3yrs and six months as she has already served almost 6 months in jail.

Pronouncing the judgement on the most-awaited disproportionate assets case that has been listed for hearing in the Supreme Court on Tuesday at 10:30 am, the Supreme Court has upheld the trail court’s judgement convicting her in the 21-year-old.

In its 2000-page verdict, Supreme Court has directed Sasikala to surrender immediately. This is seen as ‘end of the road’ for Sasikala and her chief ministerial ambitions as she stands disqualified to take over as Tamil Nadu chief minister.

The Karnataka government had challenged the May 11, 2015, Karnataka state High Court verdict acquitting Jayalalithaa, Sasikala and her two relatives – VN Sudhakaran and Elavarasi – for allegedly amassing disproportionate assets to the tune of Rs 66.65 crore during her first term as Chief Minister from 1991 to 1996.

More than the bollywood debut of yesteryear diva Sridevi’s daughter Janhvi Kapoor, her alleged love life has been in discussion for a long time.

Earlier, reports emerged that the star kid was dating former Union Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde’s grandson Shikhar Pahariya but later, it has come to the notice of everyone that she is having more proximity with a young man named Akshat Ranjan.

The sassy lady must be credited for helping herself garner all the attention of media as well as fans by inundating her instagram account with innumerable private pictures, most of them having Akshat in her company. Now, it is reported that Janhvi’s parents, Boney Kapoor and Sridevi have given their nod to the youngsters’ blooming love story.

Akshat was first spotted with the Kapoor family when he had attended the screening of ‘Dear Zindagi’ alongside Janhvi and Sridevi. The trio came in the same car then.

Janhvi has now shared a new pic of her with Akshat. And, the pic has the presence of Boney Kapoor and Sridevi as well, making it look like a happy family photo.

Is Jahnvi making her relationship official? Has Sridevi accepted her young daughter’s love story with her rumored boyfriend Akshat?

150 Crore on Prabhas? Will it Work?

praba

No doubt, Baahubali has made Prabhas a huge star. Cutting across the borders, regions, the magnum opus film by SS Rajamouli established Prabhas as a noted actor and thus established his market. The film went onto mint money at the Box Office and stood among the top 5 collecting films in India.

But the major question is who’ll get the main credit? And how much credit comes to Prabhas? Or simply, we can put this way. What would be the true market of Prabhas as a solo hero i.e., Baahubali minus Rajamouli. This is a debatable topic for sure.

Now, reportedly, the budget of Prabhas’ next – Prabhas 19 – is pegged at Rs 150 Crore and being made in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi. India’s premier technicians – Shankar Ehsaan Loy for Music, National Award-winning production designer Sabu Cyril (who worked for films such as Robo ) for production design – have been zeroed in on for the project.

Well, on paper it all looks good. But when it’s coming to economics, one has to see how far it’s feasible.

One-movie-old Sujeeth, of Run Raja Run fame, is wielding the megaphone. And many doubts, apprehensions on the huge budget are doing the rounds. Will it work? That’s million dollar question at the moment.

Cost Of Dil Raju – Ravi Teja Patch Up?

Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja and Dil Rau have recently joined hands for a new Anil Ravipudi directorial titled ‘Raja The Great’. In fact, this duo was supposed to collaborate for a film more than a year ago but the project was dropped and rumors emerged that they had a fallout over Ravi Teja’s remuneration.

After the success of ‘Power’, Ravi Teja reportedly hiked his remuneration and charged Rs 6 Cr for ‘Bengal Tiger’. He allegedly quoted Res 7 Cr for Dil Raju-Venu Sriram film. Known for his uncompromising attitude when it comes to production costs, Raju reportedly refused to comply and the film was shelved.

Now, as Ravi Teja and Dil Raju have once again collaborated, there is curiosity over how much the ace producer must have paid to the mass Raja? Reports in Film Nagar circles suggest that Ravi Teja was paid Rs 5 Cr. This amount looks way lesser compared to Ravi Teja’s demands but there is a twist here.

Reportedly, beside the Rs 5 Cr remuneration, Dil Raju promised 5 percent profit to Ravi Teja. That’s how this duo has agreed upon the payment formalities and joined hands for ‘Raja The Great’.

Said to be the story of a blind protagonist, the Anil Ravipudi directorial has KVPG fame Mehreen as the female lead.

“No upstart can shake me. I swear on you – this party, this government, no one can shake me. I will give my life and save the party. It is a difficult time we are facing. Made more difficult by certain malicious forces at work,” said Sasikala.

Trying to win the support of her MLAs, she said, “With your support I will face anything. I have the courage. I will not step back from any decisions taken. I will take the right decisions at the right time. I will not back off.”

Sasikala alleged that the opposition was ‘underestimating’ her because she was a woman. “They say, she is a woman we can threaten her. That didn’t work with Amma. It won’t work with me. There are so many people in our party that – only I can capture the secretariat. We will not – cow down. We will stand united.”

As expected, Pawan Kalyan has dropped a bomb on the crazy news of him and his elder brother Chiranjeevi doing multistarrer together under Trivikram Srinivas direction. When questioned in America about his teaming up with his brother Chiru, Pawan Kalyan said, “I haven’t got any proposal such.”

Responding on his experience after watching Khaidi No. 150, shy Pawan shared, “It’s nice. It was good experience. It was funny.” Pawan laughed off and moved on. And this is something shocked many.

Pawan’s comments have stirred a furor among mega fans who have been waiting to see the mega brothers together in a multistarrer in Trivikram Srinivas direction.

Producer T. Subbarami Reddy earlier claimed that he along with producer Aswini Dutt would bankroll a film with Chiranjeevi, Pawan Kalyan in Trivikram Srinivas direction. TSR had claimed that this would be his comeback film. And PK’s comments are seen as a big blow to TSR.

However, hopes are still alive as Pawan didn’t say that he won’t be part of multi-starrer with Chiru. He may consider the proposal if he might get the proposal to act with Chiru. Let’s wait and see. As of now, Pawan’s comments have poured cold water on the hopes of fans.

Katamarayudu Title Song – Janasena?

As Pawan Kalyan set for the battle of 2019 general elections and even going to contest from Tanuku, Jana Sena is still lagging behind the other traditional and established political parties. Pawan is now prepping up to take Jana Sena into masses. What else is better than films when reaching to masses? And yes, his films have wider mass reach.

Taking this into account, Pawan has taken special care on the songs of Katamarayudu so that they convey about the ideology of Jana Sena.

It’s learnt that the title song of Katamarayudu is written such that it’d be connected to both the film as well as Jana Sena. The lyrics of the song have been written very aesthetically that they would promote Jana Sena ideology as well as the concept of Katamarayudu.

Anup Rubens has composed the music for the album and Pawan said to be quite excited to release the film’s album soon. Now that the teaser got great response, Pawan is pretty confident that songs would be bigger hit.

But the moot question is that will they help him to establish Jana Sena? That’s definitely a big doubt.

Senior Telangana Congress leader S Jaipal Reddy has made some startling revelations about TS Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao. He said that KCR was offered Telangana Congress chief post as well as CM post in lieu of merger of TRS with Congress after the creation of Telangana in 2014.

In a TV interview, Reddy said that soon after the adoption of Telangana Reorganization Act, KCR rushed to him and thanked for fulfilling the dreams of Telangana. Reddy added that KCR accepted the proposal when Congress offered Telangana PCC chief post and also CM post.

“He however changed his mind later and turned down the offer. Even before the Congress made the offer, KCR himself announced on several occasions that he was ready to merge TRS with the Congress party if Telangana state was awarded,” Reddy recollected.

He further said that KCR was the torchbearer of Telangana movement and that the Congress party made all the arrangements to promote KCR as the future leader of Congress in Telangana.

The senior congress leader made it clear he is not in race for CM post and that he won’t accept even if the high command offered it to him in future.  – See more at: http://www.gulte.com/news/55829/KCR-Accepted-To-Be-Congress-Chief-CM#sthash.JEQaYeXq.dpuf

There is no Ghazi without CG!

Rajamouli’s magnum opus Baahubali is credited in Tollywood with having highest number of visual effects. Joining next is Rana Daggubati’s forthcoming film Ghazi. Touted to be India’s first submarine war drama, Ghazi is going to boast 700 computer-graphic shots making it the next technically high standard CG oriented film after Baahubali.

Apparently, the film was first intended to have only 40 CG shots as director Sankalp had planned to make it in a small scale.

“During the initial stage of Ghazi, we thought of having only 40 CG shots including 30 CG shots under water due to various constraints. But after Rana, PVP and Niranjan Reddy joined the film, we increased it to 700 CG shots to make a grand feature film,” shared Ghazi VFX designer Vasudev.

Based on a mysterical sinking of Pak submarine PNS Ghazi near Visakhapatnam during 1971’s Indo-Pak war, most of the film is under water.

“There is no Ghazi without CG. Indian audience never experienced complete underwater war atmosphere before on big screen. It took 2 years for us to complete R&D on it before finalizing production. Challenge was to match International standards shaping a perfect look and authentic ocean flavor for Ghazi. For this, 3D environment in CG matching all underwater dynamics was created,” added Vasudev.

Featuring an ensemble cast including Rana, Tapsee, Atul Kulkarni, Kay Kay Menon and others, Ghazi is hitting the screens this Friday.
