Film industry has today made an appeal to IT Minister K T Rama Rao that they are losing nearly 350 crores every year due to piracy. Especially the delegation represented by senior producer Suresh Babu made sure that KTR will accept their pleas and order an action immediately.

“We’re losing nearly 350 crores revenue every year due to piracy. There are almost 240 websites that are uploading the piracy links of Telugu movies and allowing internet users to download them. Government needs to crack on these sites heavily”, said Suresh Babu, in his statement.

In the wake of movies like Baahubali and Srimanthudu getting John Doe Orders from Courts to curb piracy of those films, Suresh Babu feels that every film should be protected by Government.

Today as the delegation submitted a memo to Minister KTR, he assured of coming up with a Special Police Cell to tackle piracy issue, and also gave assurance to take action on all the websites that are in the list within 30 days.

Superstar Mahesh Babu can’t believe one film in his career and it’s none other than “Okkadu”. More than his belief in the story, Gunasekhar’s creativity or Manisharma’s music, it’s producer MS Raju’s will power that has driven this high budgeted film to a success.

Owing his career’s best and life-changing hit to MS Raju, our star hero always wanted to repay it back. Recently MS Raju met Mahesh Babu to appreciate him for Srimanthudu and then he gave a word to him. “Get a story ready sir, we’ll do a film”, said Mahesh, to MS Raju.

And now, this producer is moving things to comeback to active production which he stopped a while back after incurring many losses with movies like Aata. Before that he made hits like Okkadu, Manasanta Nuvve and Varsham, which defined careers of the lead heroes of those films.

Many in the industry say, MS Raju lost most of his hard earned money post colossal flops like Aata.  In case if Mahesh Babu works with him now, then he’s going revive his lost glory. “Yes, I’m making a comeback with a big project with a present big hero. Will reveal details in next couple of months”, confirms MS Raju, without telling Mahesh Babu’s name.

Meanwhile, Koratala has got the job on hand to finalize the case and crew. Most important are the roles of two heroines for which the hunt has begun.

While Amyra Dastur is almost locked for second heroine role, buzz says that Parineeti Chopra is observed to be the best fit for main female lead. In fact, the Chopra girl is offered with plenty of Telugu chances but given her busy Bollywood commitments, she could not sign any. Let us see, how far NTR name can entice her to join ‘Janatha Garage.’

Slowly, she is making it a habit to come in between people and very recently, Swetha was seen as a part of couple of Telugu TV game shows which generated good TRPs with her presence. After fourteen years, Swetha is once again doing a full-fledged assignment on TV in the form of a horror series titled as ‘Darr Sabko Lagta Hai.’

The extraordinary producer turned ordinary director is Ms Raju. He completed mighty 25 years of journey in film industry and is quite happy with what is achieved and the way audience accepted his son Sumanth Ashwin as a hero. Worked on creative writing department and direction supervision for ‘Columbus,’ the wonderful producer is relaxed and awakened with this successful project.

To remind here, Ms Raju is one of those lucky hands which blessed Mahesh Babu and Prabhas with early breakthroughs in career.

The disaster fate of Bruce Lee not seems to leave its makers anytime soon. While it’s declared as the second straight Telugu disaster in Ram Charan’s career, trade reports have it that distributors are suffering huge losses. Sold for a whopping Rs 55 Crore, the film is still struggling to reach Rs 40 Crore share. Buyers who bought theatrical rights of Bruce Lee, estimated to lose chunk of their investment in several centers.

Deterred by the film’s faring at the Box Office, buyers of Bruce Lee seem to have decided not to give up. The latest is they have camped in at the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce in Film Nagar and apparently mounting pressure on its makers to compensate their losses.

Mega camp too swiftly entered into scene and apparently assured to make it up with another film. This is perhaps stated as first time a mega film is undergoing such settlement as there is high pressure from its distributors. Meanwhile, talks are still going on between both parties. A positive outcome is expected.

The censor formalities of the movie will take place in the first week of next month. The makers will once again restart the promotion activity with the Triple platinum disc function in Vijayawada.

A director must mandatorily possess the skill of exploiting the best from available list of artists at disposal. Sampat Nandi appears to have mastered this talent in using heroine Tamanna to the fullest. As we all know, Tamanna is a ravishing actress both on glamour and performance fronts. In recent past, there is no one such worth to quote film wherein milk beauty’s awesome body physique is taken advantage of.

In the past, Sampat overworked on Tammu with ‘Vaana Vaana’ song which is obviously one of the best songs in both their careers. Later on the talented actress appeared in many movies but the benchmark set with ‘Racha’ wasn’t crossed. This time, Sampath again accepts a challenge to change the benchmark with ‘Bengal Tiger.’

‘Choopulatho Deepala, Dehamtho Dhoopaala’ song teaser released as promotional item from ‘Bengal Tiger’ is rising the market heat. Bheems composed a terrific melody with sensible lyrics and Sampat amazingly caught hold of Tamanna’s curvaceous structure which as of now became the popular publicity weapon for ‘Bengal Tiger.’ This is just a mere teaser friends… we have lot more steam to enjoy on big screen.

Naga Chaitanya attempted a lip lock in his second film, Yem Maaya Chesave itself with Samantha. He is now teaming up once again with the same director, Gautam Menon for his next film, Saahasam Swaasaga Saagipo.

It is said that there is a sensuous lip lock with Manjima Mohan which will last for more than 30 seconds on screen. The last schedule of the movie is currently on in Chennai. The makers are planning to have the audio launch event in November and release the movie for December.

The first look teaser of the film which was released couple of months ago, garnered good response. The movie is a bilingual and the Tamil version has Simbu playing the lead role. Rumours are rife that Rana will appear in a little cameo in the film.

Ravindra Reddy is producing the film in Telugu under his Dwaraka Creations banner while Kona Venkat is co-producing it. World famous AR Rahman is the music composer.

Truly Krish spoke a meaningful point in his latest arrived ‘Kanche.’ There are invisible fences made a part of our daily lives and only when we come across them and pay attention, we are sure to find the reality blend Krish maintained in his film. People are divided on nationality, religion, caste, economic status and why not regions and language too.

If domination politics between a group of European and Asian countries led to World War 2, the same at micro level is blended in ‘Kanche’ with a beautiful love story. Although extra ordinary writing from Sai Madhav Burra covered the direction lapses in Krish, finally ‘Kanche’ winning the applause from target section of audience is a reflection of changing Telugu movie lover and his mindset.

‘Madras was firstly divided into two different regions. Very recently, we have also gone through Andhra Pradesh division leading to formation of new Telangana state. There are divisions at macro level with World War 2 and at micro level, I saw mirror images in many such divisions,’ Krish stroked a master philosophical chord synthesizing his story, screenplay with Telangana issue.

Young Tiger Ntr’s fans have come up with an interesting slogan. They profess their hero is bigger than ‘Baahubali’ and latest you tube record of their hero stands an eye witness for it. Going by the details Ntr’s ‘Naannaku Prematho’ teaser was released recently. It registered 19+ lakh views and a stunning 37+ thousand likes.

Irrespective of an unprecedented hype, ‘Baahubali’s official teaser got just 35+ thousand likes even though it was viewed by 60+ lakh viewers. Cited this example, Ntr’s fans claim their hero is bigger than ‘Baahubali’ and is not to be compared to anyone else.

However, Ntr is the only hero among the top league heroes, who does not have a single movie in Rs.50 crores club. In spite of getting blockbuster talk on the day one of its release ‘Temper’ managed to collect just 40+ crores in its full run. If at all fans measure Ntr’s stamina in terms of collections, it can be said an apt comparison.

As Mega Power Star Ram Charan has been freed from post release promotions of his latest offing ‘Bruce Lee – The Fighter’, he finds time attending parties. Quite recently, he is said to have given a party to Bollywood Baadshah Shahrukh Khan and the other members of the team of ‘Dilwale’. Above pic of Ram Charan alongside Shahrukh Khan and Boman Irani has gone viral on net.

Shahrukh Khan has been busy shooting for ‘Dilwale’ for the past couple of days at Ramoji Film City. He recently visited the sets of ‘Bruce Lee’, when Ram Charan was shooting for the last song of the movie. Ram Charan was heaped praises by Shahrukh Khan for his dances.

Meanwhile, Ram Charan’s new movie ‘Thani Oruvan’ will go on sets soon. The movie will be directed by Surender Reddy. DVV Danayya will be producing the movie on DVV Entertainment. The movie is expected to hit screens in the first half of next year.

Extraordinary talents of heroes get them huge fan following that gives them enormous strength and they are sure to be proud of their Fans. It’s quite natural the attitudes and mindsets of no two Fans are alike. Not all Fans exhibit decent behaviors while showing their fanism and ultimately, they turn out to be the troublemakers for heroes.

Incidentally, over possessiveness of Fans on their favourite heroes reminds us an interesting comedy sequence from ‘Race Gurram’, which was enacted by Stylish Star Allu Arjun and late comedian MS. Allu Arjun initially entered as an unwanted guest and then became an unwanted relative of the family of MS. The worries and hardships faced by MS generate humour in rest of the scenes which are shot between Allu Arjun and MS.

On the other hand, media leaves no stone unturned slinging mud on heroes when the latter are troubled by above mentioned Fans. Whatsoever, Fans should understand the difficulties of their stars when they trouble them. However, there are some sensible Fans, who can make out situations and behave accordingly. Even if they feel they are deserted, their broader vision stands above par to the global level such that they don’t get deviated for any issues. Perhaps, stars too like to have such kind of Fans.
