NTR’s Janatha Garage started making noise with its pre-release numbers already while it almost closed worldwide theatrical business for around 61 crores in Telugu areas alone.

Buyers are heard to be highly interested in taking Janatha Garage for hefty prices for given NTR’s image, Koratala Siva’s hit streak and solid scripted film making. Janatha Garage’s Nizam rights were taken away by Abhishek pictures for 14 crores. The Uttarandhra rights of JG were taken by Gayatri films for 5.2 crores, the highest for NTR in this area. Nellore rights are sold for 2.34 crores, which is also a highest for the star there.

Janatha Garage is already making big numbers much before its release and the movie is expected to become biggest blockbuster in Tarak’s career. The movie also stars Malayalam superstar Mohan lal, Samantha and Nitya Menon. Mythri movie makers is planning for initial release date of August 12th for Janatha Garage.

Superstar Mahesh Babu, known for delivering hits like “Pokiri”, “Athadu”, “Dookudu” and “Srimanthudu”, says he is “extremely passionate” about acting.

Excerpts from an interview:

Q: Your new film “Brahmotsavam” has generated a huge amount of curiosity and interest. Tell us about it?

A: ‘Brahmotsavam’ is a love story set in a family backdrop… It’s all about relationships people have on different levels.

Q: At this stage of your career, do you seek roles that challenge you as an actor. Does “Brahmotsavam” do that?

A: I don’t think challenge is the right word to use. Any film I do needs to excite me at a script level. ‘Brahmotsavam’ is something different yet again for me in terms of a character that I play .

Q: Why has the film’s release date been uncertain for a long time? What is the final release date?

A: As of now our audio release is scheduled for May 6. Then we will officially announce the release date.

Q: Were you satisfied with the way your last release “Srimanthudu” performed at the box office?

A: “Srimanthudu” is a film very close to my heart. It’s my first production and I’m more than happy with its performance at the box office.

Q: Lately there has been a huge controversy in the Telugu film industry regarding distributors who apparently demand compensations for losses suffered when a film flops. What is your opinion on this issue?

A: I prefer to believe it’s my responsibility if a film of mine works or doesn’t work.

Q: After 16 years as a leading man in Telugu cinema, are you looking at broadening your horizons?

A: At the moment, acting is what I love doing. And I’m extremely passionate about my job. I haven’t really given a thought to anything else yet!

Powerstar Pawan Kalyan already announced that he will be contesting 2019 elections and will be quitting films one or two years before the election. The actor also announced that he is suffering from a financial crunch and so is making films to bring in some money. However his choice of films in the recent times suggest that he is making films only for money.

Since Gopala Gopala, there are no notable cast and crew in his films. He is working with those who charge less remunerations. Since he is the partner in production of all the films, it will work out to him to keep the budget in check. Even in Sardaar Gabbar Singh, we can clearly see that there is no selling point in the film other than the actor.

He is doing the same for his next with SJ Suryah as well. The crew announced so far do not have a single significant name. We are said that they are even keen to rope in a new heroine to control the budget. But such sub-standard products towards the end of his career, will only spoil Pawan Kalyan’s name before entering politics.

Couple of days ago, Puri Jagannadh had announced his third film with Superstar Mahesh Babu titled ‘Jana Gana Mana’. The project announcement is suddenly out of no where and taken every one by surprise. APHerald.com team touch based with Puri’s team about the project and got some interesting details about it.

They say it is the script penned by Puri for NTR. They should do this after Janatha Garage and NTR’s next with Vakkantham Vamsi. However NTR did not liked the script for some reason. Puri narrated it to Mahesh who liked it very much and asked to develop it. So, Mahesh is lapping up a script rejected by NTR.

According to some rumours, the project which should be directed by AR Murugadoss may be delayed and so Mahesh will be taking up Jana Gana Mana before the movie begins. They say Mahesh will begin the project immediately after the release of Brahmotsavam. As always Puri will be completing it is record number of days. Besides this Puri also have a project with Kalyan Ram.
