Sardaar Gabbar Singh’s failure has put Pawan Kalyan on the back foot. Sardaar couldn’t make use of the unprecedented craze of Pawan Kalyan. Power star is not even making an attempt to make an exciting film to follow it up. Even diehard fans of Pawan Kalyan are unexcited about his project with SJ Surya.

We heard gossips about Trivikram directing Pawan’s next film after SJ Surya’s, but Trivikram right now doesn’t have a storyline that suits the image of Pawan Kalyan it seems. Trivikram also has prior commitments with other heroes before he moves on to the Power project. So who is going to direct Pawan’s next film?

Pawan wants to finish SJ Surya’s film by this December and immediately start his next in January. Pawan doesn’t have much time on his hands as he will get busy with political plans shortly. With Trivikram being unavailable for at least a year from now, Pawan has reportedly called upon Gabbar Singh director Harish Shankar to come up with a story for him. We don’t have confirmed news about this combination but the buzz from film nagar says that this project is very much on.

Even Naga Chaitanya forgot about his long delayed project Sahasam Swasaga Sagipo. But, writer Kona Venkat who is co-producing this flick is the only person promoting the movie in social media. He is regularly giving updates about the movie, whereas Chaitu and his director Gautam Menon are not showing any interest even to talk about this film.

Apparently, Naga Chaitanya is distressed for makers go on postponing the film. Sahasam Swasaga Sagipo release was initially planned in December, last year. Owing to financial and other reasons, the movie has been postponed several times. Finally, they have decided to release the movie on July 15th.On the other hand, SSS result is crucial for Kona Venkat than anyone else since his last few films as writer and producer was commercial failures.

SSS has some positives like, Chaitu-Gautam combo earlier delivered hit with Ye Maaya Chesave, AR Rahman composed music, Manjima Mohan grabbed attention for her cute looks and most importantly Rana Daggubati will be seen in a cameo role. However, long delay has turned biggest drawback for the film.Will this movie provide much needed break for Kona Venkat and others in the team?

Entrepreneur-turned-film producer Prasad V Potluri, fondly known as PVP aka PV in film circles, said to have lost a whopping Rs 100 Crore in film production. Made his foray in 2011 with Tamil film Rajapattai (Veedinthe), PVP has seen several setbacks. Anushka and Arya-starrer Varna, Size Zero were two major duds PVP Cinema had produced.

While Balupu was an average grosser and a moderate success, even critically acclaimed movie like Oopiri failed to translate into commercial success and resulted in loss in tune of nearly Rs 20 Crore. Oopiri was a cost-failure. And again his latest release Brahmotsavam was opened to divide talk and estimated that buyers would lose big monies as the movie was sold for staggering prices.

Though PVP made money by selling it off to buyers, it’s heard that PVP has to compensate the distributors from the losses. The only saving grace for PVP was Kshanam which he had co-produced. Many thought Mahesh’s Brahmotsavam would bail him out but it looks it’s proving to be other way around.Many in industry circles may say that Rs 100 Crore isn’t big figure for a billionaire like him. But the point is that instances like these are obstructing several other business barons entering into film production.

Soggade Chinni Nayana is a very special movie for Nagarjuna in his 30 years of career. Although Nagarjuna had acted in few mass movies, class and family entertainers were his strength.Another worrying factor for Nagarjuna, before the release of SCN was no other films of his family had collected Rs 40 cr share. The Kalyan Krishna directorial minted over Rs 50 cr shares and proved that Nagarjuna can apt for mass films too.

This game changer film for Nagarjuna will soon be remade in Kannada with remake king Upendra playing lead role. As per reports, Upendra is also willing to direct the movie. Yesteryear actress Prema is finalized to reprise Ramya Krishna in the Kannada version.

The title ‘Matte Hutti Baa, Inti Prema’ is being considered for the movie. It is heard that, they are making slight changes to the script so as to suit to the taste of Kannada audience. The film is likely to go on floors from July.

It may be mentioned here that, she is part of Pawan Kalyan, Suriya and Vijay’s career best hits.Samantha pins high hopes on A Aa (Anasuya Ramalingam Vs Anand Vihari) starring Nithin and is directed by Trivikram Srinivas. The starlet is promoting the movie vigorously along with other co-stars. She is travelling Bangalore tomorrow to endorse A Aa.

Here is their conversation:Samantha Hater: “I am expecting another big flop from @Samanthaprabhu2 through #AAAMovie.”Samantha: “and I am expecting that you turn out to be a fool June 2nd .. If you already aren’t one.”

Chennai: Superstar Rajinikanth, who awaits the release of upcoming Tamil gangster drama “Kabali”, has jetted off on a brief holiday to US with his family.”Having recently completed a schedule of Shankar’s magnum opus ‘2.o’, Rajinikanth decided to take a much needed break to rejuvenate and resume shooting from June. He’s expected to stay in the US for nearly two weeks and return in the second week to join the sets again,” a source close to the 65-year old star told IANS.

In “Kabali”, which is slated for release on July 1, Rajinikanth will be seen playing an ageing gangster. The film’s story is tipped to be based on the real-life story of a Chennai-based don.

In Shankar’s “2.o”, a sequel to blockbuster “Enthiran”, Rajinikanth will return as the popular scientist, Vaseegaran, and he will lock horns with Akshay Kumar in the film.

Although Akhil has been interacting with several directors, the final decision will be taken by his father Akkineni Nagarjuna. The Akkineni camp say all the reports about Akhil doing the remake of “Kammatipaadam” and okaying director Hanu Raghavpudi’s script are not true.Nagarjuna has given the freedom to Akhil to talk to any director and listen to the scripts but Nag will take the final call. One must recall Nagarjuna didn’t want Akhil to attemp such heavy script for his maiden movie “Akhil”.

He asked his son to select a lighter subject but Akhil reportedly insisted on doing that. And the movie bombed. Only after the failure of his maiden film, Akhil Akkineni has realized his mistake and decided to go with his father’s choices. Akhil was to do his second film in the direction of Vamsi Paidipally but the director is not interested in remaking “Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani”. So he asked some time to prepare a new script.

Vamsi Paidipally who went to USA for personal trip will also be coming down to Hyderabad shortly. Nagarjuna will decide the project next month. If Vamsi takes too much time for preparing the script, Nag might go ahead with other directors that Akhil is interacting with.
