The much awaited Theatrical Trailer of Young Tiger NTR’s Nannaku Prematho is garnering super response from all quarters. The movie had garnered more than a million views in just 36 hours after its release. The trailer suddenly increased the expectations and hype of the film by several folds.

On the other side, the shooting of the last song, ‘Love Dhebba’ is complete the other day. After this, only some patch work is to be completed. Nannaku Prematho is being planned for January 13th release as Sankranthi Special. Creative director Sukumar is wielding megaphone for this movie.

Rakul Preet Singh is playing the female lead beside NTR. Rajendra Prasad and Jagapathi Babu are playing important roles. Senior Producer BVSN Prasad is producing the film under his Sri Venkateswara Cine Chitra banner.

With three to four more days left for the release of ‘Nenu… Shailaja’ starring Ram and Keerthy Suresh in main leads, the film has completed the Censor Certification receiving U Certificate from regional board members. The romantic entertainer is also said to be a clean, neat and wonderful family flick which can be watched with kids and elder members.

In fact, Ram is waiting for a movie of this kind from long time. He thought of a hit verdict for ‘Endukante Premanta’ directed by Karunakaran made on a new romantic point. However, it left Ram in dire disappointment. With ‘Pandaga Chesko,’ there was a revival in his fortunes but only to be thrashed with ‘Shivam.’

Now, ‘Nenu… Shailaja’ in direction of Kishore Thirumala having got superb response for the trailer, the entire unit is hopeful of repeating the Box Office trick when movie strikes theatres on January 1 as New Year gift. Music is composed by Devi Sri Prasad.

This is the best surprise of the year yet. Well, not really a surprise actually! One always knew that Sukumar and NTR are going to give you something to rave about. But looking at the trailer, all doubts are put aside. NTR looks his best yet not just the way he looks but also the way he performs. Seen that attitude? The confidence? That’s Nannaku Prematho for you folks.

It seems Sukumar has a very gripping and racy story in hand, as evident from the trailer. Some interesting frames and scenes apart, the trailer just pulls you into the film making you want to catch the film at the earliest. And what’s more interesting is that Rakul seems to be a very prominent part of all the action. Gear up for this film. It’s going to start your New Year with a big bang!

The icing on the cake would definitely be performances by seasoned actors like Rajendra Prasad and Jagapathi Babu. CineGalaxy Inc. has been associated with films like ‘Manam’, ‘Power’, ‘Govindudu Andarivadele’, ‘Mukunda’, Yevade Subramanyam’ and ‘Bhale Bhale Magadivoy’ in recent times.

Also, Suriya’s upcoming film ‘24’ and Rajinikanth’s ‘Kabali’ are other upcoming films from their stable. They are glad to be associated with this project that is gearing up to entertain you in your nearby theatres soon. The wait isn’t going to be long! January 13, 2016 is the date.

Casting decides major commercial factor in a film. A project with star heroes automatically gets the attention of audience and producers might need to spend sparse amounts on promotional strategies.

However, here is a different sketch from director Gautham Vasudev Menon who is now producing a horror film with director SJ Suryah as hero to be directed by Selva Raghavan. From Kollywood sources, it is reported that Selva prepared a superb horror concept and narrated it to Gautham recommending SJ Suryah as hero.

As Selva is having a Telugu project in pipeline, we need to wait and see how far this bi-lingual horror assignment would take the driver’s seat. The final call is yet to come. Good thing is Selva’s wife Geethanjali is also taking active part in scripting of both the Telugu and bi-lingual horror subjects.

Off late, Selva Raghavan is lying in hibernation with the failure of ‘Varna’ and either of the above said two could be rightly his comeback film. It is always good or great to see three top star directors working for one movie.

Telugu comedy artist Potti Rambabu aged 35 years suffered with a major brain stroke last night is declared dead by Nikhil Hospital sources in Sri Nagar Colony just a while ago.

He is pretty familiar with films like ‘Eeshwar, Chantigadu, Katha Nayakudu, Donga Dongadi, Asthram’ and ‘Gopi Gopika Godavari.’ He acted in several other films earning a special recognition with his body language and dialogue delivery.

Rambabu hails from Burugupudi village near Rajahmundry. He entered into film industry at very early age. Rambabu is survived with wife and a daughter.

Meanwhile, his one more film ‘Puliraja IPS’ is currently in production stage with 50 percentage of shoot completed. Cinejosh prays for Rambabu’s soul to rest in peace.

If the support from Mahesh Babu giving out and out statements calling ‘Bhale Manchi Roju’ as a hit is taken as direct support for Sudheer Babu, then the disastrous performances of opposition releases coinciding with the same date of Sudheer Babu is worth to be taken as indirect support.

Yes, ‘Bhale Manchi Roju’ from debutant director Sriram Adittya is flowing smoothly at Box Office after the completion of a even weekend. In fact, the film has got a positive pre release buzz with theatrical trailer is translated into the Box Office output as the early mouth talk and reviews from critics gave it a thumbs up.

Sudheer Babu and his team are now on a success tour planned to cover big towns and cities in Andhra Pradesh. In contrast, ‘Soukhyam’ from Gopichand, ‘Mama Manchu Alludu Kanchu’ from Mohan Babu, Allari Naresh and ‘Jatha Kalise’ from Varahi banner are proven to be failures with below average and disastrous talk spread from the first day.

All this is proving to be a blessing for ‘Bhale Manchi Roju’ which has become the only mandatory option for movie lovers.

After the mad rush of films at Tollywood Box Office for January 1, we are yet again to be treated with a flood of films for Sankranti festival occasion. As of now, when we have official confirmation regarding three big movies Jr NTR ‘Nannaku Prematho,’ Balakrishna ‘Dictator’ and Nagarjuna ‘Soggade Chinni Nayana’ having got their dates locked, there was a bit of confusion regarding ‘Express Raja’ from Sharwanand in direction of Merlapaka Gandhi.

With official confirmation of above said three films, there was a small dilemma in UV Creations production banner on whether to go forward with the announced date of January 14th or step back for the next week. With enough backing from big distribution houses and theater network in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana states, latest we heard is ‘Express Raja’ is likely to accept the date of 14th.

Depending on the pressure building techniques, the big heroes in big three Sankranti releases mount up on UV Creations, there will always be a probable release postponement. We might get everything in official by January first weekend… whether Express gets a stop or moves forward with same speed.

Away from regular commercial genre without remixing the same story ingredients, we find only very selected few number of directors and heroes who would love to experiment in new areas. One such hero among the present generation youngsters is Konidela Varun Tej and the director to pick is Krissh. They both have worked as a team earlier for a critically acclaimed ‘Kanche’ made on World War backdrop.

According to the latest reports flown in, they two are again to reunite as a team for spy thriller concept tentatively titled as ‘Rayabari.’ When we speak of Krissh, you cannot separate his movies from a genuine innovative touch. When Spy Thrillers are in fact a forgotten and unproven trend in Telugu cinema, his stepping into a script of this nature is surely a gut wrenching decision.

Varun is in early stages of career building and he has the scope to experiment without any inhibitions of losing the stardom which isn’t actually built around him. So, it’s the luck factor for Varun to have got a director like Krissh ready to exploit the real actor in him.

Tollywood’s biggest blockbuster, Baahubali’s second part may be shot in Kannur, Kerala. The cinematographer of the film, KK Senthil Kumar was seen doing a recce in and around Kannur.

Malayalam period film Pazhassi Raja was extensively shot in rural Kannur and according to the sources, the Baahubali team is planning to shoot certain portions in the same area.

The shooting is currently on in a special set erected in RFC Producer Shobu Yarlagadda confirmed that the movie will not have any new additions contrary to the rumours doing rounds. 40% complete of the movie shooting is already complete along with the first part shoot.

Actor Siddharth shifted his base completely to Chennai, after facing several debacles in Tollywood. Very few Tamil films of him were dubbed here in recent times and none registered a hit. Not worried of this, Siddharth is coming up with yet another dubbed film titled Aranmanai 2 in Tamil and is yet to get a title in Telugu.

In latest picture, Siddharth is seen romancing with 3 hot chicks Trisha Krishnan, Hansika and Poonam Bhajwa. While Siddharth seen sitting on a chair staring seriously, the spicy sirens exhibiting beauties are also seen with intensified eyes. Sid is being sandwiched between the starlets.

Probably, the picture is from a special song in the movie. Coincidentally, all the four actors- Sid, Trisha, Hansika and Poonam are right now struggling for their place in industry.

Aranmanai 2 is sequel to Sunder C’s horror comedy Aranmanai (Chandrakala in Telugu). The director has added extra glamour to the film by roping in the bombshells. The movie is slated for release on January 29th.

Jr NTR is currently trending on the top with Nannaku Prematho heading for a Pongal release. From today, Young Tiger is taking part in the shooting of “Love Dhebba” song shooting along with Rakul Preet Singh. And here goes another update.

For the upcoming film under Koratala Siva’s direction, whose shooting will take off from February 1st week, has finally got a second heroine finalised if we have to believe sources. Already Samantha is picked as NTR’s leading lady, making the couple join hands for fourth time.

For another heroine who will be playing a substantial role, Koratala narrated the script to Nitya Menon and we heard that she got excited with the role. Remuneration and other stuff needs to be finalised as per reports.

Undoubtedly Samantha and Nitya are two powerhouse performers, and we have seen what happened when they met on screen for S/o Satyamurthy. Watch this space for updates.
