As we reported earlier, Sri Vass who directed Balakrishna’s 99th film Dictator has looked after all production works of the picture with a budget given by Eros International. On the whole, Sri Vass acted as co-producer for the mass action entertainer.

Dictator is running successfully and the movie is expected to end as a profit maker for the producers. Impressed with Sri Vass’s commitment and dedication, Eros is requesting the director to continue the same work for their next Telugu film which would be Balakrishna’s 100th film.

Sri Vass will be supervising production works of the film titled Aditya 999 Max to be directed by Singeetham Srinivasa Rao. Since the film is a socio fantasy, Eros is ready to invest big amount on the project and Sri Vass will get his share from profits for managing the production.

Apart from acting, Balakrishna is also providing story for the film. The senior actor is looking for possibilities to introduce his son Mokshagna with this film by offering an important role. The film is touted to be the first pre-recorded film of Indian cinema. Balakrishna said to announce more details of the project in a week days.

Good news for the Sankranthi releases as there won’t be any notable new releases in this week. Telugu dubbed version of Tamil actor Vishal’s Kathakali was supposed to be released on this Friday. But the film will not release on 22nd January as it is yet to complete the censor formalities.

Even the other Telugu releases like Kalyana Vaibhogame too were pushed to some other date leaving free ground for Sankranthi movies for another week. This is great news for Nannaku Prematho as it can go close to the breakeven mark. All other Sankranthi films will have a decent number of screens in second week to cash upon.

Soggade Chinni Nayana and Express Raja will get a bigger range with no competition in this week. Also Dictator will get a chance to increase its stack as Kathakali would have attracted the masses.

Vishal’s Kathakali has been receiving very good reviews from Tamil critics. Director Pandiraj is being lauded for making a taut thriller. We should wait for few more days to experience the thrilling Kathakali.

Young Tiger NTR’s silver jubilee film under Sukumar’s direction Nannaku Prematho released as a Sankranthi treat amidst heavy expectations from fans. On the opening day, the film released to mixed reviews and average word of mouth, causing a few initial jitters among the film’s makers and fans.

While everyone were predicting that Nannaku Prematho may not withstand the heavy Sankranthi box-office clash and will end up as an average fare, director VV Vinayak was the first person to call up Sukumar and instill confidence in him.

Apparently, VV Vinayak, soon after Nannaku Prematho’s first show, called up Sukumar and told him that the film will get mixed talk initially and also asked him not to lose hope since the film will surely pick up in no time and garner decent collections.

Making VV Vinayak’s prediction come true, the film has successfully sustained the divide talk and already collected 42 crore share in just 7 days and is now racing ahead to enter the 50 crore club. It is well known that Sukumar was a former assistant director to VV Vinayak on the latter’s 2003 hit, Dil.

The sensational beauty Kajal is very generous when it comes to skin show despite having a beauty that can make men go crazy.

She is known not just for her sweet smiles and innocent eyes but also for her sensuous sex appeal. Whenever she has added a dose of masala in her looks or dresses, it raised the heat a lot.

Only Kajal can create this magic…

The death of Rohit Vemula, a Dalit research scholar in the University of Hyderabad, has landed Union Minister Bandaru Dattatreya in a thoroughly embarrassing situation. It is nothing but natural that there are conflicting views on any issue between the student groups in any university. And sometimes, it would lead to clashes, but they subside on their own after some time, if the University authorities deal with such situations in an amicable way.

But in case of UoH issue, it got complicated only after Dattatreya wrote a letter to his Cabinet colleague Smriti Irani. May be Dattatreya did not anticipate such an extreme reaction from the Dalit scholar, as he is known for writing letters to the authorities and the government on any issue. But this time, it led to the suicide of Rohit. Now, Dattanna realized that writing letters just for the heck of it will cause him troubles.

Expressing his heartfelt condolences over the death of HCU research scholar Rohith Vemula and sympathizing with his family members, Dattatraya on Wednesday clarified that he merely forwarded two representations received from ABVP students on August 10 and 29 last year to the HRD Ministry requesting to initiate appropriate steps and help improve the atmosphere in the University for good of the student community.

He made it clear that he, in any manner, did not try to influence any decision taken by the University in the case directly or indirectly by simply forwarding the two representations to the Ministry concerned. Stating that his role was only limited to forwarding the representations customarily, Dattatraya also made it clear that he would have forwarded similar representations from any other students body had they approached him. He hoped the matter would rest with his clarification.

“Taking representations from common people, constituents and forwarding them to the ministries concerned is what I considered my earnest responsibility by being an elected people’s representative”, he clarified.

Popular TV Anchor Anasuya had began her film career recently with Nagarjuna’s Soggade Chinni Nayana. She was seen in a little cameo in the film. She is already shooting for another film, Kshanam. The actress is playing a cop in the movie.

She will be seen in a full-length role in the movie and also performed some action in the film. The film is being directed by debutante Ravikanth Perepu and produced by PVP Cinema.

Adivi Sesh and Adah Sharma are seen in the lead roles in the movie. Anasuya reportedly prepared so much for the role. She reportedly closely studied a few women police officers. Looks like the sensuous beauty is serious about her film career.

It is more or less confirmed that Aditya 999, the sequel for Balakrishna’s classic film, Aditya 369 will be the prestigious 100th film of the actor. In one of the interviews, the actor confirmed that Aditya 999 is his own story.

Singeetham Srinivasa Rao will be wielding megaphone for the sequel project as well. The veteran director’s recent form is not that great and it is a major cause of worry for Nandamuri fans now.

It is also said that Balayya promised Anjali to give a role in the prestigious project. More details of this project will be revealed after Balakrishna completes the promotions of his Dictator. Stay tuned.

Mass Maharaja Raviteja’s next project, Yevado Okadu was announced a long ago and the shooting was to begin in November. But the project did not begin till date. Now they say the project is shelved all together.

According to the rumour mills, Raviteja is demanding 8 Crore remuneration for the film but Dil Raju is not ready to shell that amount as he feels it is too high for the actor’s market now.

Hurt over this, Raviteja reportedly shelved the project and headed to his next film, Robinhood. A new comer will be directing this film. Damodhar Prasad will be producing the film under his Sri Ranjith Movies banner.

The makers of Naga Chaitanya’s Majnu, the working title of Premam Remake, have finalized the third heroine in their film. Shruti Hassan and Anupama Parameshwaran are already confirmed as two heroines.

Madonna Sebastian who appeared in Premam in the role of Celine will reprise the same role in Majnu. Chaitanya will be seen as Vikram in the film while Shruti Hassan will be seen as Sitara in the movie.

The makers are planning to complete the entire shoot non-stop and release the film in June/July. Karthikeya fame Chandoo Mondeti is wielding megaphone for this remake film. Buzz is that Nagarjuna will be seen in a little cameo while Victory Venkatesh will play the hero’s father in the movie. More details of this project later.

Young Tiger NTR’s next film, Janatha Garage will go on floors on February 8th/10th. The makers are getting a huge set erected for the movie at Saradhi Studios for this purpose. Art director AS Prakash is supervising the set construction.

The shooting will begin with the shooting of the Flashback sequences with Mohanlal first. NTR will be joining the shoot in the second schedule. The makers are considering Janatha Garage (with a tagline – Ikkada Anni Repairlu Cheyyabadunu) as the title of the film even though they did not announce it officially.

They are planning to release the movie on August 12th, 2016. The release date working in the movie’s favour as there is a long weekend holiday due to Independence day holiday on Monday.

Mytri Film Makers who turned producers with Srimanthudu will be producing this film as well. Yerineni Naveen, Yalamanchili Ravi Shankar (Thammudu) and CVM (Mohan) are the producers. Devi Sri Prasad will be composing music as Koratala’s previous films – Mirchi and Srimanthudu.

‘Nannaku Prematho’ is one more intelligently weaved father-son emotional bonding film from director Sukumar paving its way to commercially success shores. While some section of audience might have doubted on why is Sukumar moving away from B, C centre audience by incorporating too many class elements touching science, mathematics and other academics based subjects.

‘I never had that doubtful thought crept into my mind while working for ‘Nannaku Prematho.’ Actually, I was a bit afraid during the production of ‘1 Nenokkadine’ and my worst scares came true when B, C centre audience really did not understand this film. In contrast, I know that father-son bonding in ‘Nannaku Prematho’ would be surely an equal emotional connect for top class and B, C audience. That is the reason why I worked for this project without any prior apprehensions,’ Sukumar replied.

‘Nannaku Prematho’ stood as clear winner within the first week by entering into 40 Crores club and also becoming highest grossing first week film in NTR’s career. That’s the crystal clear verdict in favor of Sukumar and Tarak.

Balakrishna has a very good habit of developing healthy friendship bond with all those directors, producers, heroines and other artists, technicians whom he works with as a part of shooting. For example, heroine Nayanathara and Sonal Chauhan or directors like B Gopal, Bopyapati and Singeetam are seen praising Balayya for his humanly, down to earth nature which made him win many well-wishers.

This time, Anjali appears to be the latest addition. If reports are to be believed, Balakrishna promised Anjali to give one more heroine chance in his milestone 100th film ‘Aditya 999’ to be directed by Singeetam Srinivas Rao. All this has reportedly happened during their foreign schedule of ‘Dictator’ song shoot. Alone Singeetam knows whether Anjali fits into the character or not but Balayya has to surely honor the promise.

Off late, Anjali started to get more focused on attracting star heroes instead of repeating those regular performance dominated characters in half commercial projects. Balakrishna is the first one to give her a break with ‘Dictator’ after doing couple of movies like ‘SVSC’ and ‘Masala’ with Venkatesh. Let us see, how far Anjali gets lucky one more time besides Balayya Babu.
