Trivikram who is currently directing Nithin in A..Aa. He will be working on that script once the film is done. The movie will be made simultaneously in Telugu and Tamil and will also release on the same day.

Given Trivikram is a top director in Telugu, this project will improve his market here. Suriya’s Studio Green is likely to produce the film in Tamil and Telugu producer may be different. More details of this project later.

The rift between Kona Venkat and Srinu Vytla seems to be taking a toll on earlier because latter disappeared from the scene succumbing to ‘Bruce Lee’ disastrous pressure. On the other side, Kona has to stay in the market for three reasons. One for the sake of ‘Akhil,’ second for ‘Tripura’ and third for ‘Sankarabharanam’ as Kona is acting as writer and presenter for the last. However, Kona’s recent comments on Vytla blaming him for changing the overall ‘Bruce Lee’ script ignited the cold war between them again.

While some are questioning on why is Kona stressing only on ‘Bruce Lee’ in spite of his last two disasters ‘Akhil’ and ‘Tripura.’ He has to agree a fact that, so called Vytla-Kona template no more finds any of the takers. If Kona has to come back in demand and bring back his lost glory… everything lies in the hands of ‘Sankarabharanam.’ Inspired largely from Hindi film ‘Phas Gaya Re Obama,’ in fact Kona purchased the Telugu remake rights of this flick and made necessary changes to suit Telugu flavor with story running in Bihar backdrop. Let us see, how far ‘Sankarabharanam’ re-instills industry confidence on Kona.

The ruling trend of horror-comedies is getting more and more vulnerable in Tollywood and Kollywood. The recent hit of ‘Raju Gari Gadi’ has re-affirmed the taste of Telugu audience towards films in this genre. While Tamil and Hindi producers are competing to bag the remake rights of ‘Raju gari Gadi,’ here comes one of such similar movie in Tamil grabbing the attention.‘Hello Naan Pei Pesuren’ starring Vaibhav, Oviya and Aishwarya Rajesh in main leads is directed by S Bhaskar and produced by Sundar C. Ever since the trailer of ‘Hello Naan Pei Pesuren’ is out on Youtube, there is rapid interest generated even in Telugu about this flick. Literal meaning of this movie title is, ‘Hello, This is Ghost Speaking.’

Concept of the film is all about an evil soul struck in mobile phone. The comic and horror stuff there off generating from mobile will carry on the narration. Nevertheless, a flashback for devil and revenge drama can be the possible justification Bhaskar could have offered, as it senses from the trailer. The movie is said to be packed in a very smart, short budget of 1 Crore. Currently, there is a good competition building up for bagging Telugu remake rights of this film.

Talented and beautiful actress Ananya hasn’t got enough of recognition needed to begin a good career in Telugu. Movies like ‘Journey’ although made her a bit popular with Telugu audience, the bad fate of unreleased musical love story ‘Intinti Annamayya’ in direction of Raghavendra Rao gave Ananya a jerky take off. Later on, ‘Amayakudu’ with Krishnudu ruined all her hopes. Anyways, Ananya is back in Telugu circles with Trivikram Srinivas directing ‘A… Aa’ starring Nithin, Samanta in main leads! Without opening the account properly in Tollywood, it can be a dismal decision from Ananya to accept sister character to hero Nithin in the film but she feels the judgment is right.

‘Initially, I rejected the offer from Trivikram sir because it’s a sister role and I am afraid of getting branded for similar characters in future. After hearing the complete narration from Trivikram sir, I felt the role is challenging and worth to accept. I prefer more of quality rather than quantity,’ Ananya said.

Varun Sandesh is reportedly playing a small role in Mohan Babu and Allari Naresh starrer Mama Manchu Alludu Kanchu. Varun will be seen as Mohan Babu’s son in the movie. He reportedly shot for 15 days for the movie to do this character and returned from USA just for this shoot.

“I can not refuse this character when Vishnu offered me. They always treated me like their son during Pandavulu Pandavalu making. So, I felt it as a honour to act in this movie,” Varun Sandesh said.

Mohan Babu will be seen as a angry old man in the film while Naresh will be seen as his son-in-law in a naughty role. Damarukham fame Srinivas Reddy is wielding megaphone for the movie high on comedy. Plans are on to release it for Christmas.

The third schedule of Superstar Mahesh Babu’s Brahmotsavam began couple of days ago in Ramoji film city. The schedule will go on till December 9th there.

The agreements with the distributors are being made accordingly with the same date. They are planning to complete the entire movie shoot by March. Samantha, Kajal Aggarwal and Pranitha are playing the female leads in this film.

Srikanth Addala who delivered a super hit to Mahesh with Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu is wielding megaphone for this film once again. Potluri Vara Prasad will be producing the film on his PVP Cinemas banner. Mickey J Meyer is the music composer.
