Under these circumstances popular producer Ashwini Dutt revealed the secret behind Chiranjeevi’s secret meeting with AM CM Chandra Babu Naidu.
Ashwini Dutt wanted to contest elections but when he couldn’t express his wish Chiranjeeevi met Chandra Babu and shared Ashwini Dutt’s interest and Chandra Babu immediately fulfilled Ashwini Dutt’s desire.
when Chiranjeevi started Praja Rajyam Dutt was in two minds as to in which party he should be there. Chiranjeevi drew a master plan asking Dutt to be in TDP and play vital role after the elections. However that didnot happen as YSR’s Congress party swept the polls.

Rangoon Trailer: Love, War & Kangana's Kisses

While the whole world is on the edge of tense and very much immersed in World war II, and while India was still
under British rule fighting back to gain independence, the love and deceit between three different individuals is Rangoon all about.

Julia played by Kangana Ranaut is back after little long gap, but has come strong this time. For the first time, Kangana is caught in love triangle of Saif and Shahid Kapoor, who also lived in their roles as a big shot and a soldier respectively.

It remains pure ignorance, if steamy love scenes and lip locks can’t be matched with intense scenes of a period drama. Rangoon proves the same and Kangana’s sultry scenes with Saif and French kisses with Shahid never allow you to blink, no exaggeration here!

The characters’ love scenes never really looked sidelined, yet artistically placed only to explain the bond between them. This romance written by Vishal Bharadwaj gives us only few glimpses in trailer, while the film is hitting screens on February 24.

Sources privy to the information divulged the info to Gulte.

Although Puri and Mahesh announced to do film Jana Gana Mana, it hasn’t taken off for a while. Blame it on Puri’s lean phase and also Mahesh’s busy lineup of commitments.

Reportedly, Suresh Babu would pump in Rs 20 Crore whereas the remaining Rs 25 Crore would be borne by Venkatesh himself.

Shatamanam, Tough Challenges Ahead!

Share

shatamanam-bhavati

Has Dil Raju committed same mistake of playing with safe family emotions at the cost of having no story on hand? What’s the actual point to make ‘Shatamanam Bhavathi’ a special release in Pongal season?

Except the scenic Athreyapuram beauty and Mickey J Meyer’s soothing music, there is nothing like a central conflict established in ‘Shatamanam Bhavathi’ trailer. Maradalu Anupama Parameshwaran from foreign land visiting mother land India and falling in love with Bava Sharwanand against the wishes of family appeared like a central point which is dealt numerous times on Telugu screen. With no freshness in main plot, Dil Raju and Satish Vegeshna should have depended more on treatment with enormous feel good factors and a big casting team.

Dil Raju’s feebleness was visible in handling this genre in past with ‘Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu’ missed on core conflict. However, Mahesh Babu does the trick helping the film to deliver goods at ticket counters. Can Sharwanand become a Mahesh Babu to repeat the same SVSC result for ‘Shatamanam Bhavathi’ is a question to be answered?

On comparative scale, ‘Express Raja’ succeeded in between ‘Soggade, Nannaku Prematho and Dictator’ because it was a lighter, laughter riot with multiple tracks. On the other side, GPSK is a strong content based film while KN 150 is a mass masala commercial entertainer. How far SB can overcome these two big names will also be a challenge to wait for?
