Mumbai: She wowed us over with her portrayal of boxer Mary Kom, now, Priyanka Chopra’s next film might just send her into outer space! Rumours are rife that the ‘Bajirao Mastani’ actress has been approached for the proposed biopic on late Indian astronaut Kalpana Chawla.

Accoring to reports, Priyanka has been approached to play the leading lady in the film, but will only commit to it once she is back from her ‘Quantico’ shoot in America. If Priyanka gives the project her nod, this will be the first Bollywood film to explore the genre of space themed films. Apart from putting on a space suit for a film, the star will have to live up to the task of portraying the small town Haryana girl, who became India’s first astronaut to go to space.

Kalpana spent 31 days, 14.54 hours in space. Kalpana along with a crew of seven astronauts died in the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster which occurred on February 1, 2003, when the Space Shuttle disintegrated over Texas during re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere, with the death of all seven crew members, shortly before it was scheduled to conclude its 28th mission.

As reported by us earlier versatile actor Kamal Haasan and actress Amala Akkineni are teaming up together for an upcoming film. The latest is that the movie has got title. Naming it as Amma Nanna Aata, it was announced by none other than Kamal himself.

However, Kamal didn’t reveal the film’s genre and kept it under wraps. “For Cheekati Rajyam too we didn’t reveal genre in advance, it was revealed only ahead of film’s release. We’re going to follow the same,” said Kamal flanked by his next heroine Amala Akkineni.

Kamal said that he would wrap up the film within 6 months just like how he made Cheekati Rajyam. “From now onwards, I’ll work like this. I’d like to release it (Amma Nanna Aata) in next 6 months. The Bharateeyudu star said he is contented with the receiving of Cheekati Rajyam which happens to be his comeback film.

Meanwhile, there is a lot of buzz in industry on Amma Nanna Aata as Kamal and Amala are pairing up with each other after 28 years. Their last film was “Pushpaka Vimanam” which was made way back in 1987. So, get ready for the hit pair.

Powerstar Pawan Kalyan is busy shooting for his upcoming flick “Sardaar” in and around Vadodara, Gujarat. Those who have seen the shooting are busy cuckooing about the number of creative brains involved in the film and how the output is coming out.

Director KS Ravindra (Bobby) is the one who has written story and dialogues for Pawan’s sequel of Gabbar Singh, titled Sardaar Gabbar Singh. Suddenly there was an entry of writer Sai Madhav Burra to provide an alternate version of dialogues for the movie.

And then, producer Sharath Maraar himself is a creative guy with nearly 20 years experience in TV and Film industries. We cannot rule out the fact that he’s not giving any creative inputs. Former choreographer Harish Pai, who was supposed to direct Pawan earlier in a film titled ‘Tashwa Maidan’, happens to be official creative head of Sardaar Gabbar Singh.

Above all, there is Pawan Kalyan, who is also a writer and director himself, who has almost co-written this film’s story along with Sampath Nandi earlier and KS Ravindra now.

With too many creative brains involved in cooking this dish, anyone will wonder how the film’s output will shape up. Generally a writer and director takes care of Telugu movies, but Pawan’s films are becoming something special with the choicest of people working on his films.

Tollywood star Ram Charan’s ‘TruJet’ airlines achieved the dubious distinction of topping all the other airlines in India, in terms of cancellation of flight services. The low-cost airlines was launched just four months ago amid much fanfare in July 2015. TruJet airlines cancelled 14.95 per cent of flights in October alone, the highest among all other domestic airlines.

The second place went to Air Costa airlines, which cancelled 6.87 per cent flight services. Even in terms of number of complaints received from passengers, TruJet stood at the third place in the entire country.
Ram Charan’s TruJet continues to face the wrath of passengers over cancellation of flights ever since its launch in July 2015.

TruJet is now trying to attract the passengers with special offers on ticket price concessions that were offered while it was launched. Let’s see, whether this would change the fortunes of the TruJet.

The much talked about ‘Kumari 21 F’ which received unique ratings from all the so called top critics in Tollywood finally is coming under the hammer. Kust like director SS Rajamouli and other writers who just copy or inspire from various episodes or scenes or threads from foreign language films, Sukumar is nothing different.

Our International cinema followers have floored in few references from where Sukku really copied or say inspired to make or pen ‘Kumari 21 F.’ Whilst the basic plot is largely taken from 2004 French film ‘Lila Says,’ the climax of Raj Tharun punishing his three losers friends is directly lifted from 2009 Argentine Crime Thriller film ‘The Secret In Their Eyes.’

Well, there is nothing much to admonish Sukku because he is a proven skilled writer. Bringing in Telugu nativity is the only best he does for originals because ‘Kumari 21 F’ stands nowhere near to the original classics, said a thorough world cinema follower. Now, Sukumar might have to answer them in coming up press meets and success meets. Sukumar himself being a follower of pedagogic principles, how he forgot to give due respect and credits for the originals?

Adult comedy served in the name of youthful romance has become a deep rooted phenomenon in Tollywood, thanks to the trend initiated by Maruthi and took forward by many of his followers. Although, many of the small film makers got their jobs done and producers happily enjoyed the profits in this genre but time has come for making some major changes to this existing trend and the process is initiated by Sukumar.

‘Kumari 21 F’ is completely a teenage/youth centric film which speaks on attitudes of teenagers towards love and lust or the way they turn into criminals when side tracked for sexual comforts. Though, it’s hard to find someone like Hebah Patel character in real life but Raj Tharun’s love track is surely an easy connect with every teenager in early immature stage. Till this point, ‘Kumari 21 F’ is the usual adult game of love served in the form of youthful entertainment.

What makes Sukku different from other regular directors in this genre is the way he visualized a hard hitting or dark shaded climax. Generally, Tamil directors adhere to this kind of formula which rarely gets recognition in Telugu. Think different is what Sukku preaches here for budding writers and dark themes might become the new trend in Tollywood, if at all ‘Kumari 21 F’ succeeds extremely well at Box Office.

Who else other than Junior NTR can know every in and out in director Sukumar after working on ‘Nananku Prematho’ from a very long time? Though their film is due for release in coming Pongal season, the latest release from Sukumar Writings that is ‘Kumari 21 F’ has left a deep impact on NTR just like what common audience are feeling about.

‘A new age love story. KUMARI 21F.Throughly loved it!!!Pratap, Devi and Randy excelled to the highest. Hebah and Raj were at their best. Last but not the least a very heart touching story from the master himself SUKKU Garu. Hats off for the brave and bold writing sir,’ NTR could not stop congratulating the whole team of ‘Kumari 21 F.’

To our official reports, Sukku screened an exclusive premiere show of ‘Kumari 21 F’ for Junior NTR day before yesterday that is one day before the actual release. This is not just the NTR opinion, in fact Telugu audience are moved by the unfamiliar and bold offering from Sukku.

This is nothing like downgrading or looking down at ‘Bahubali’ as inferior but for sure ‘Bajirao Mastani’ trailer released on Youtube is mind blowing. The epic love story of warrior Peshwa, Bajirao is here presenting the world audience to witness the power and glory of India’s greatest empires.

The vision of Sanjay Leela Bhansali and the way each scene shown in the trailer are to be analyzed, it’s just breath taking. There are no words to brief the creative inputs dumped by Bhansali and his too good of artistic team because each visual is stunning and sure to leave a delightful impact. Presence of Ranveer Singh, Priyabka Chopra and Deepika Padukone made the entire show much more colorful with their exemplary performances hinting on the powerful content scripted into a magnum opus.

Recreating Maratha Empire period was one of the biggest challenges before Bhansali team and the grandeur they have crafted left each one of us spellbound. Bhansali and Sanchit Balhara’s music is also just haunting. With Bhansali’s dream project getting a final shape, there is a signature of his own style stamped on every frame. Just hold on your nerves till December 18th for this world of visuals to take over.

Vamsi and Pramod, best friends of hero Prabhas, have started the banner UV Creations and produced couple of hits like Mirchi and Run Raja Run in the first stint itself. Running high with the success of their co-production Bhale Bhale Magadivoyi, these two now wants to make the biggest projects with big heroes.

Probably for the first time UV Creations will be entering the big league as they are getting ready to make a movie with none other than Ram Charan. Though director Radha Krishna has disappointed them with Jil, these makers have belief in him and now got impressed by a new script he narrated.

Finding that Ram Charan will be the right person to star in the film, they approached the Mega Powerstar and got nod for a project but script isn’t approved yet.

While Charan got excited by basic story line, he’s yet to get a hearing of fully developed script. On the other hand, he’s waiting for Thani Oruvan remake to go on floors under Surender Reddy’s direction.
