Energetic Hero Ram has two releases so far this year. Pandaga Chesko was an average while his recent release, Shivam is a big disaster. These films were preceded by three big flops – Endhukante Premanta, Masala and Ongole Gitta.

The actor is not bogged down by Shivam failure and had shidted his focus on to his other project, Hari Katha. The movie is also in the last leg of its production and is gearing up for December release.

Kishore Tirumala, who penned dialogues for Raghuvaran Btech is turning in to a director with this film. Ram’s uncle Sravanthi Ravi Kishore is producing the film which has Keerthi Suresh as the female lead.

Superstar Mahesh Babu is a family man has less number of friends, especially in industry. The Dookudu star is an introvert talks rarely, but smartly. Mahesh was busy with interviews after Srimanthudu went onto become a blockbuster. When he was asked whether anyone in the industry called to appreciate him for the success, Mahesh answered, it was only Ram Charan who congratulated him.

Apparently, this statement hurt Allu Arjun. Of late, Allu Arjun is busy promoting Rudhramadevi where he played the role of Gona Ganna Reddy. The actor stated he personally called Mahesh Babu to applaud him for the success and his performance in Srimanthudu.

“Prabhas and Rana are very good friends of mine in the industry. I don’t know Mahesh much. I spoke few good things about Srimanthudu at my friends and told them to convey my wishes to Mahesh Babu.

When I heard Mahesh’s statement, I immediately made a call to him and apologized for the belated wishes. I said I liked the film and lauded him for his performance. He said ‘it’s ok and spoke authentically.”Interim, while Mahesh Babu is shooting for Brahmotsavam, Allu Arjun is working for Sarainodu.

Until few years ago, Tollywood used to be fully dependent on other industry technicians, especially on Kollywood in the departments such as choreography, fights. Tollywood was partially dependent on other technical departments such as cinematography, set designing, editing and other. Tamil music directors Ilayaraja and AR Rahman dominated South film industry for ages. In fact, Telugu star heroes accustomed to work with Tamil directors such as Mani Ratnam, AR Murugadoss, Karunakaran, SJ Surya etc. But, the scenario has been completely upturned.

Current young heroes are keen on working with only Telugu directors. Choreographers count has also been increased in our industry, thanks to TV reality shows. Now we have ace choreographers like Johnny, Sekhar, Ganesh masters etc. Telugu leading dancing stars Ram Charan, NTR and Allu Arjun are fancying for these star choreographers for their films.

In music department, youngsters like Devi Sri Prasad, SS Thaman, Anup etc are rocking the industry. Coming to action department, Ram Lakshman duo is ruling the roost in Tollywood. They are part of most of the star hero films of late. In editing department, we have experts like Kotagiti, Marthand etc. So, Tollywood is gradually becoming independent in all the departments!

Fanism is bit high in Kollywood compared to all other industries. Fans try to trend top on social media whenever content of their star’s film hits online. Rajinikanth, Vijay and Ajith have huge mass fans base and whether a still or a video byte or a teaser or a trailer of these actor’s is released, fans will trend it on top for hours, sometimes a whole day. Usually, record views are registered for such video content and fans literally wait online for hours for teaser and trailer to release.

Yesterday in the late night, Ajith’s upcoming mass action entertainer Vedalam teaser has been released and kicked up a storm on YouTube. The teaser has crossed Tollywood most liked teaser- Pawan Kalyan’s Sardaar Gabbar Singh count of 25 K likes, in just 20 minutes. Within an hour, the teaser crossed 50 K likes and so far 78K+ likes and more than half a million views are registered. It has already broke most of south India records and set for new bench mark.

Vedalam is second film in Ajith and director Siva combination after the super hit of Veeram. So, expectations are sky high on this project. Shruti Haasan is leading lady opposite Ajith and Lakshmi Menon will be seen as his sister. The film is about to hit the screens for this Diwali.

Yuva Samrat Akkineni Naga Chaitanya’s next, Saahasam Swaasaga Saagipo is currently being shot at Marina Beach Chennai. The movie shoot is currently in its last leg and the makers are eyeing November release for the movie.

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.

The regular shooting of the film will begin very soon and the team is planning to shoot a major portion of the film in American deep forests. We are also told that the movie will have an extensive CG work.

Tanikella Bharani said the film is not a devotional film like the Yesteryear Krishnam Raju starer and is in fact a Tribal Guy’s Love Story with lots of comedy. It will be set in a Rural back ground. The movie is titled ‘Kannappa Katha’ and will be produced by Vishnu Manchu’s 24 Frames Factory.

Love it or hate it, you can’t ignore it. That’s how the songs of Ram Charan’s “Bruce Lee” have become now. On the release day itself, Thaman scored pass-marks as the five tunes he composed for this Sreenu Vaitla directorial got instant response from music lovers. As these tunes have that energy to woo masses, now radio stations are busy cashing on them.

Generally it is FM Radio stations that decide which song will be played for maximum number of times, and that playing leads to chart-busters of Top 10 songs. They pick songs that have huge enthralling value, which could excite music lovers.

According to a report, among the 5 songs of Bruce Lee, four songs are picked and being extensively played by all the radio stations. Le Chalo, Run Life Antey Race Ra, Lee Lee Bruce Lee and Kungfu Kumari (Mega Meter) are the four super-picked songs. By this Saturday evening, we will be knowing which song will become chartbuster among them.

“It’s not the question of about Bruce Lee songs turning up in Top 5, but how many will turn up is the thing we are looking after. Because music lovers are getting highly excited for the two mass songs and two thumping melodies”, a programming head of a radio station, under condition of anonymity said. That’s a good sign for composer Thaman folks, while it’s anyway good promotion for “Bruce Lee”.
