“Bollywood is an unnecessary risk. Only if we focus for nearly 4-5 years, we could score a hit in Bollywood. Otherwise there is no practical possibility to make it big there”, avers Stylish Star Allu Arjun. With his own mega cousin Ram Charan failed miserably with first film at Bollywood, what would anyone expect Bunny to say? “We have to quit Telugu industry and then try there. Who has such guts?”, Bunny questions.

Probably “Zanjeer” flop show would have made it clear to Bunny that debuting in Bollywood needs more homework and trying it like a guest project is pure waste. But the talented Race Gurram star is not averse to Hindi films completely. He has some ideas to implement.

“As Bollywood is watching Telugu films and south movies extensively these days, we could plan for multi-language multi-starrer movies. Such films will run all over India without any barriers” he feels. Is Bunny hinting that he’s ready to take up a Bollywood-Tollywood bilingual that will have him featuring as a hero with another star Bollywood hero? If so, approach with stories both Telugu and Hindi directors.

A police case was lodged against choreographer-turned-director Amma Rajasekhar of Ranam (Gopichand-starrer) movie fame. The case was booked by Punjagutta police following a complaint from one Venkat Reddy, who happens to be a gym trainer. Going into details, gym trainer Venkat Reddy stays in the same apartment where Amma Rajasekhar’s office is there.

Apparently, there was a lot of noise, nuisance was reported from Rajasekhar’s office during night times. When Venkat Reddy reportedly tried to bring up the same issue with them on the Sunday night (Oct 4), only Rajasekhar’s driver was said to be there. During the incident, Amma Rajasekhar was said to be absent initially.

As per complainant Venkat Reddy’s version, Amma Rajasekhar indulged into scuffle soon after his return and even took a mobile phone of the complainant’s friend into his custody demanding his friend to come. When apparently Venkat Reddy turned up, Amma Rajasekhar along with few others beaten him up.

Meanwhile, other side of the story is that Amma Rajasekhar too complained that his driver was beaten up by one Venkat Reddy. Cops have booked a case and probing the issue.

After 3 years of making  and several months of postponement of the film’s release, Gunasekhar’s ambitious historic 3D film, Rudramadevi, released this morning. The film got fair word of mouth from the early morning premiers and looks all set to collect big over the weekend.

Gunasekhar made Rudramadevi with a budget of more than 80 crores. During the film’s making in these three years, the director faced several financial hardships, which continued till the release date. Gunasekhar’s brave battle against all difficulties earned him enough supporters from Tollywood.

Senior producer​ Thummalapalli Ramasatyanarayana, who produced Ram Gopal Varma’s Ice Cream series, was so moved by Gunasekhar’s resilience, that he went on to write an open letter to Megastar Chiranjeevi, requesting him to delay Bruce Lee’s release by at least a week, so that Gunasekhar and the distributors can earn their investments.

Quoting how the makers of Srimanthudu delayed their film to ensure Baahubali collect decent revenue, the producer asked Chiru why he has planned to release his comeback film, Bruce Lee, while Rudramadevi, for which he has given voice-over, has just released. It will be interesting to see how Chiru would react to this request.

Rudhramadevi in Gunasekhar direction with Anushka in title role is released today worldwide in highest number of theaters. The historical movie made on stereoscopic sound and 3D technology has exceptional attraction of Gona Ganna Reddy role done by Allu Arjun. The same character was offered to Jr NTR, Raviteja and others before stylish star snatched it for free without taking any remuneration.

Apparently, Anushka lived into central title role but Allu Arjun’s entry and all the episodes shot on him made Rudhramadevi a power battery. Perfectionist Allu Arjun trained for three months under a special teacher to learn exact Telangana slang for this character. Today, theaters are quavering with loud whistles and booming claps whenever Gona Ganna Reddy appears on screen to hand carry an electrifying performance.

Naa Molathadulo Thayathu and Jara Gammanundoy, the dialogues struck chord with Telangana crowds. Paruchuri Brothers and Gunasekhar should be thanked for sketching a powerful role to Allu Arjun which should remain as special jewel in the crown. Gona Ganna Reddy is a hit in Telangana and this is also helping Rudhramadevi in turn.

We reported few days back that Actor Radharavi said that ‘Caste Based’ politics has entered Nadigar sangam. The shocking factor is his own sister Raadhika Sarathkumar is the one who is injecting caste inside the elections. Radhika met press people along with Simbhu, Bhagyaraj and Oorvasi.

She opened her speech by saying, I am speaking as a member of Nadigar Sangam and not as wife of Sarath Kumar. But during her speech she was often answering to the accusations made on her husband Sarath Kumar. Initially she said ‘Vishal’.

But later on she was consistently saying Vishal as ‘Vishal Reddy’. She also said that this problem’s root cause started when CCL matches happened in Dubai. But she said Sarath Kumar was so patient during those time. But the rage with Raadika spoke showed she is clearly afraid of Vishal.

Even though Vishal is from other state, the actor never showed himself as ‘Reddy’ and he speaks Tamil very comfortably. It should also be noted that Radika herself is from ‘Nayudu’ caste. Vishal’s ‘Pandavar team’ so far never used any caste or spoke bad about rivals. Whatever it might be, Radhika’s speech should be condemned.

Ask Allu Arvind or Boyapati Sreenu, what’s the title of their upcoming film? They say that title isn’t fixed and they will announce at an appropriate time. This is one old-school style of building excitement but that’s not giving kick any more.

These days if a film’s title is announced in advance, then it will churn through brains of audiences easily and brings huge hype. Maybe Arvind and Boyapati are not accustomed to it, but their lead pair knows how to tackle.

Speaking at a press conference the other day, heroine Rakul Preet Singh has confirmed that her next release would be Nannaku Prematho and Sarainodu. And that confirmed the title of Bunny and Boyapati film. Even Bunny also confirmed that Sarainodu is his next film’s title.

It’s Boyapati who will be stumped now. When he’s busy promoting that Sarainodu is just a working title and will release original title soon, both Bunny and Rakul literally pushed him into neck deep water. Anyway, this early confirmation now brings ‘saraina’ response from our fans.

Leave criticism aside, why would an experienced and talented artiste like Sridevi will reject Sivagami role in Baahubali and pick that Yavana Rani role in Puli? Let’s put thins from Sridevi’s perspective. Speaking frankly, the character of ‘Yavvana Rani’ in “Puli” offered many more shades to perform for any actress rather ‘Sivagami’ role in Baahubali. In that Queen character, Sridevi got to show her cruel side, cunning emotions, terrific body language as a witch-craft lady.

In Sivagami, we have only that ‘royalness’ and loud dialogue delivery, but Puli’s Queen is stuffed with various shades. And that final fight of Sridevi with Vijay, almost made Sri a top villain fighting for own cause. Still, this role didn’t clicked and people are nailing Sridevi’s decision of rejecting Baahubali and picking up Puli.

Though Puli’s Yavana Rani is powerful than Sivagami on paper, all those shades, emotions and depth will connect to audiences only if director etches the role perfectly. While Rajamouli etched a superior character out of an ordinary writing, director Chimbudevan failed to do justice to a powerful Queen role. So, Sridevi made a right decision but it’s her director’s story telling that spoiled the show.

Knowing the industry’s in and out quite well, this hot star-kid will surely make it big as time passes by. None has said this when Shruti Haasan, legendary Kamal Haasan’s daughter made her debut in tinsel town with Hindi film “Luck”.

Including a rumour nose surgery and immediate signing of a bunch of films down south, haven’t made Shruti a sought after any soon. She has to struggle for chances, taste flops, face criticism and even her affairs resulted in bitter.

Very soon, Shruti got luck in the form of Gabbar Singh success and since then she never looked back. From Tollywood to Kollywood to Hindi movies, everywhere she’s scoring a hit. Not stopping there, she’s also singing and picking up item numbers too.

Going by this trend, now brands like Lloyd, Philips and Shopper Stop are running after this girl. Latest brand edition to her list is popular soft drink ‘Fanta’. We can only say, Shruti Haasan is slowly crawling the ladder to become the legendary heroine of this modern film industry. Hits in three languages, brand films in hand and fantastic spirit like her father- what more makes her legendary?
