Huge Remuneration for Pawan, Chiru & Trivikram?

Share

chiru

Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan’s biggest multi-starrer is on cards and it’s said that Trivikram would direct this crazy combination. While one is not sure when this would take off, already speculations are rife on the remunerations of the trio.

It’s rumoured that producers T Subbarami Reddy and Aswini Dutt are offering a big fat cheques to Pawan, Chiru & Trivikram to materialise this combo.

Talk has it that Pawan would get Rs 25 Crore, Chiru would get another Rs 25 Crore and Trivikram would get Rs 15 Crore for their work in the film. Thus, only the remunerations of the three is amounting to a staggering Rs 65 Crore. However, the remunerations of other cast, production costs are additional.

Many in the industry and trade are gasping with the amounts that are circulating as the fees of Chiru, PK and Trivikram.

It can be noted that Chiru’s recent film Khaidi No.150 has collected over Rs 100 Crore share. Even Trivikram’s A..Aa went onto collect over Rs 50 Crore despite having Nithiin and the film’s collection in US alone has shocked many. And Pawan’s craze needs no numbers. Even his flop films have collected so well including his last film Sardaar Gabbar Singh. The film’ openings have shattered several records.

Considering this math, probably, the huge remunerations could be possible and may be no wonder since TSR is there to dig deep into his pocket. But one has to see how much truth is there in this rumour.

Pic: Is This Sasikala? Old pic goes viral

Late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa’s close aide Sasikala Natarajan has somehow managed to play all her cards and become AIADMK”s legislative leader. She is aiming to fill in the shoes of Jaya but it seems that she doesn’t have as much support from people as Jaya had.

There is a negative wave spread on social media against Sasikala’s ploy to become the new CM of TN. Some people allege that she doesn’t deserve the CM chair. Even some cadres of AIADMK have resentment against Sasikala but they were allegedly forced to shut their mouth.

Now, an alleged old pic of Sasikala is going viral on social media and it looks to further dent her image. In this throwback pic, a lady is seen walking behind Jayalalithaa carrying her bag. It is not sure if the lady in the pic was Sasikala or not but netizens are sharing it viral, commenting that Sasikala was just a servant of Jaya and not her political heir. Even RGV shared the pic questioning if the bag carrier was Sasikala or not.

Sasikala’s chances to become the CM are already looking bleak with the verdict of court in disproportionate assets case. This old picture has now become another headache for her to deal with.

What's Stopping Sasikala to swear-in As CM?

sasi

Ever since the demise of Parutchi Thalaivi Jayalalitha, her close aide VK Sasikala has been at the cutting edge of politics and AIADMK party in Tamil Nadu. After a lot of hustle and bustle, CM O Panneerselvam finally made way to her biggest political aspiration in state. Despite strong backlash from opposition, Sasikala managed to gain support from her party legislators.

But it now looks like she still hasn’t got the passport to become Chief Minister of TN, all thanks to pending disproportionate assets case against her.

In what could turn into a major hindrance for Sasikala just before taking oath as CM, the state governor on Monday sought a legal opinion from Attorney General Mukul Rohtangi as the unaccounted assets case against her was pending in the Supreme Court. Since Governor Vidyasagar Rao, who’s looking into the judicial implications of the pending case against VK Sasikala, is not expected to administer her oath ceremony at Madras University, Chinnamma might need to wait longer to grab the CM chair. Also on Monday, Mr. Rao had a brief meeting with union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on how to proceed further.

Ms Sasikala, Jayalalitha and two others were accused and also sent to jail in the disproportionate assets case which was convicted by a special court in Bangalore on 27th September, 2014. However, the Karnataka state high court overturned the trial court’s verdict in 2015. Apparently, this is something Sasikala wouldn’t have expected to stop her from taking over Tamil Nadu’s top job.

However, Governor did not conclude on whether Sasikala should stop taking oath till a verdict is exercised by the apex court. While the legal background of Sasikala is largely under debate, the Lok Sabha member of AIADMK party Sasikala Pushpa is strongly opposing her candidature and also wrote a letter to PM briefing about her ‘criminal activities’.

Over the last few months, biopic films and movies based on real-life incidents have become more customary in Bollywood. While many of them amazed us in theatres, there are plenty of interesting biopics on the way.

One of them will be ‘Haseena’, based on the real story of underworld don and mafia gangster Dawood Ibrahim’s sister. Touted as one of the most authentic film developed based on Dawood’s story, the film has Bollywood sister-brother duo playing onscreen roles of Haseena and Dawood (sister and brother) as well.

Filmmaker Apoorva Lakhia, who directed Ram Charan’s Zanjeer in the past, is helming the project wherein actress Shraddha Kapoor is playing the lead role Haseena and her brother Siddhant will be seen as Dawood. As the makers, on Monday unveiled its first look featuring Shraddha, Bollywood is highly in praise for the actress.

Since the character has negative appeal, Shradhha Kapoor’s look was quite rugged and completely different from what we got see from her in the past. The black mascara on her eyes are making her look more audacious and bold. Since Shraddha was always confined to glamorous roles and had never tried something offbeat, it’s going to be definitely a challenging role for her.

The film will bring to screen the life of Haseena from the age of 17 till 40. As Haseena had passed away in the year 2014, it was tough for the ‘Ok Jaanu’ actress who had not many inputs to understand her antics. However, she’s confident of getting into the character impressively. Titled as Haseena-The Queen of Mumbai, the Bollywood biopic will stride into cinemas on 14th July, 2017.

One Clap Dismissed Two Rumors

We have already reported that mass maharaja Ravi Teja’s new film, ‘Raja The Great’ was launched today. Kalyanram Nandamuri has given clap for this movie and his act not just officially kick-started the film but also dismissed two rumors that were in circulation earlier.

It is known that Ravi Teja’s ‘Kick 2’ was produced by Kalyanram on NTR Arts banner. The film turned out to be a disaster and brought huge losses to the Nandamuri actor-producer. Before it was released into theatres, Kick 2 was postponed for several months and there were umpteen rumors that Ravi Teja and Kalyanram were not on the same page regarding the film’s output. As the time passed, those rumors faded away but did not die.

Next, before NTR decided to go ahead with Bobby’s directorial after Janatha Garage, Anil Ravipudi was the most probable to direct him. NTR had promised to give his new project to Kalyanram but Anil Ravipudi was committed to direct a film in Dil Raju’s banner. Rumormongers linked there two theories and spread gossips that Kalyanram forced NTR drop Ravipudi’s script as the young director wasn’t willing to direct the film for NTR Arts banner.

Now, months after that, Anil Ravipudi has launched his new directorial, the same subject of a blind protagonist that NTR was impressed with but hesitant to do, with Ravi Teja and Dil Raju. Interestingly, Kalyanram gave the clap to the first shot. This friendly gesture of the Nandamuri hero is a substantial proof of his very amicable relation with both the ‘Kick 2’ hero and Ravipudi and a slap on the faces of rumormongers.

People say ‘Nail Two Birds with One Shot’ but Kalyanram nailed Two Rumors with One Clap here.

Rahul's Call Puts Chiru in Dilemma

chiru

With the super success of his comeback film Khaidi No.150, Chiru is in celebration mood. Chiru, who returned to films after nearly 10 years, is having a great time with family and industry people. He’s still basking in the glory of the film’s blockbuster hit as the praises pour in from his industry friends, colleagues.

However, in a shocker to Chiru, he said to have received a call from AICC vice president and Congress Yuvraj Rahul Gandhi. It’s learnt that Rahul had requested Chiru to participate in the party’s political campaign for the UP elections. Since the Telugu population in UP is reasonably good, Rahul wants Chiru to campaign for the party there.

Not to forget that Chiru is the Rajya Sabha member of Congress and his term is there till April 2, 2018.

Chiru is now said to be in dilemma over accepting Rahul’s request. He’s said to be caught in two minds on whether to campaign for Congress in UP or not. Given that Congress is having a lean phase in AP and people haven’t forgotten the death blow of Congress to AP and its raw deal to the state by unilaterally dividing AP, if Chiru campaigns for Congress, this would further

On other hand, already, almost all the opinion pollsthat are out in UP are in favour of BJP. The family feud in SP has caused a great damage. Even BSP couldn’t gain advantage of it. Congress is said to be trailing behind all these parties in the largest state of India.

And every single vote in UP elections matter as all the political parties have taken this election as very prestige. Considering all these things, Rahul has assigned the task of campaigning in UP to Chiru.

The big question is that will Chiru accept it or not.

Balayya Dreams to bring back NTR into Theaters

At a time when a biopic is being planned on Mahanati Savithri, why not a biopic on Senior NTR? The legendary actor’s life story could be make into one epic biopic given it has seen the heights of both film industry and politics. But, the question is who could dare to fill in the shoes of the inimitable NTR?

It seems that Balayya has taken this challenge upon himself. During a recent media meet in Nimmarkuru, Balayya said that he would soon make a film on NTR. He however didn’t disclose if he would play the role of his father or not.

If he did not then do we have any other actor to match the screen presence of the Telugu film legend, probably not. It may be recalled that Mani Ratnam cast ‘Complete Actor’ Mohanlal when he made the alleged biopic on MGR, a Tamil legend having as much charisma in films and politics as of NTR.

Ideally speaking, NTR Jr is the perfect choice to reprise the role of Sr NTR in the biopic. However, given the alleged animosity between Balayya and NTR, would these two come together for a make? Well, this is is the one film that their fans would love them to collaborate on. How about NTR Jr for the younger version and Balayya for the older version of NTR?

Anyhow, it would surely be an epic film and Telugu movie lovers across the world would love to see the story of arguably the ‘Most Popular Telugu Personality’ on silver screen.
