Mega Power Star Ram Charan has attended one kilo meter blind fold walk at Peoples Plaza, Necklace Road today early in the morning on the eve of World Sight Day falling on October 8th. An eye hospital has arranged the program was exclusively for blind children.

The chief guest at the occurrence- Charan has taken a good decision. He is arranging a special show of his upcoming film Bruce Lee for the blind children on October 15th, a day prior to its original theater outing (16th). More details about the show are yet to be known.

Like dad Chiranjeevi, son Ram Charan is also doing charity works. Chiranjeevi has been serving people through his blood and eye bank. In fact, making people around us happy that too deprived and handicapped is real meaning of a charity work.

Meanwhile, Ram Charan is busy wrapping up Bruce Lee shooting. Presently, they are filming title song and with this entire production work will be completed. Post production works are also happening simultaneously.

Chiranjeevi used to convey a message of donating blood and eyes in all his movies. It is to be seen whether he will do it for Bruce Lee or not!

“Despite helping him during crucial situations, most recently during the Uttama Villain release controversy, he has no gratitude to show in return”, accused Senior hero Sarath Kumar. The famous Nadigar Sangam elections have turned into a big tiff with Sarath Kumar and Vishal locking horns with each other, leveling allegations and spitting venom.

In this process, veteran hero Kamal Haasan has given support to the panel headed by actor Nasser who has the support of Vishal and Karthi again. While Nasser will contest for President, Vishal and Karthi are contesting for General Secretary and Treasurer posts.

Talking about this happening, Sarath Kumar said, “Kamal is there right from the start, creating rifts in Nadigar Sangam with his politics. I’ve personally worked very hard for him, to bring his films out of the issues, but he never kept that on mind”. That’s the biggest accusation Kamal Haasan would ever face being known as a man of calm and righteousness and charity.

On the flip side, MAA elections in Tollywood too saw such mud slinging by Rajendra Prasad and Jayasudha camps, however, our senior actress is out of scene after Rajendrudu’s win, but Murali Mohan (supporter of Jayasudha camp) and MAA President Rajendra Prasad are now going hand in hand. That’s the story after winning a game.

Tamil dubbed film Puli hit the Telugu screens yesterday, while few theaters screened the film from night shows on Friday. Athiloka Sundari Sridevi made comeback to South cinema after ages with the Vijay, Shruti Haasan and Hansika co-starrer film. However, it is proved that she made a wrong choice. Neither Sridevi’s role in the sci-fi was impressive nor her character.

Apparently, Puli’s theme reminds us of several Telugu films such as Bhairava Dweepam, Anaganaga O Dheerudu etc. And Sridevi appeared like Manchu Lakshmi in the film Anaganaga O Dheerudu in terms of getup, makeup, characterization and other aspects.

Both Lakshmi and Sridevi might have thought of getting enthusiastic acknowledgment with their respective films. But, they utterly disappointed with negative reception, not just for their films, but also for their roles.

In the film Puli, Sridevi played a negative role. Even, her die hard fan Ram Gopal Varma didn’t fail to take a dig on her for picking Puli over Baahubali. “Just saw Puli and I am surprised that Sridevi chose this over Bahubali ..I don’t know if it’s her choice or wrong advice but I am sad as a fan,” emphasized RGV.

Trivikram. Puri Jagan. Vikram K Kumar. And VV Vinayak. The common connection between these biggest directors of Telugu industry is that they all have narrated a script each to Superstar Mahesh Babu. There is another director joining this array of superstar filmmakers now, he’s none other than Tamil star AR Murugadoss.

From sometime, Murugadoss is camping in Hyderabad, working on a story for producer Dil Raju, which will be directed by Gopichand Malineni. This story is likely for Jr NTR as reports have emerged long back that Raju took dates of Jr NTR in lieu of the 6 crores money he financed for Kick 2 release for Kalyan Ram. Apart from working on this story, Murugadoss has also narrated a new social-message oriented concept to Mahesh Babu. What’s the result?

“Mahesh got excited after listening to the concept and couple of scenes narrated by Murugadoss. Immediately he gave nod for him and asked him to come up with full script. If all goes well, he may work on it after wrapping Brahmotsavam”, said a source in the know. Seems like Mahesh got excited to pick social-message stories after success of “Srimanthudu”.

Mega Power Star Ram Charan seem to have concentrated on improving his Tamil market. His next film, Bruce Lee will have a simultaneous release in Tamil. He along with his father Chiranjeevi will fly to Chennai on 7th of this month for the audio release event.

That event will kick-start the promotions there. They are trying to bring in Rajinikanth for the event but the Superstar is extremely busy in the shooting of his next, Kabali. Bruce Lee is gearing up for a grand release on October 16th as Dussehra Special.

Megastar Chiranjeevi’s cameo, Recent trailers and audio have just increased the hype and the expectations on the film. Thaman had composed tunes for this movie. Srinu Vaitla is the director. Rakul Preet Singh is pairing up with Ram Charan for the first time with this film.

We have seen several negative media reports about comedian Ali few months ago but here is a good one and it deserves all our applause. Recently Ali attended in the Prisoners Welfare Day on Gandhi Jayanthi in Chanchalguda jail.

Ali had announced that he would adopt four families of women prisoners and take care of their needs. Ali reportedly was moved when he heard several sad tales when a crime is committed in the spur of the moment and their families are left behind to suffer due to the imprisonment of the head of the families.

Hence he immediately decided up on the adoption. In fact it was the idea of DIG prisons, A Narasimha. He requested Ali to adopt one family to improve their living conditions. But Ali decided to adopt four families and asked the DIG to complete the necessary formalities.

Catherine Tresa is one girl who made a stunning remark on audience in her films but never really got the much needed break to extend her career in Telugu. However she is still getting good offers in Kollywood.

Kollywood media reports that she is dating a Tamil Producer and is getting offers due to his recommendation. The media there even reported that they recently flew to an abroad holiday. But some home media managed to get a sniff of it.

The makers of Allu Arjun’s next under the direction of Boyapati Srinu – Sarainodu (working title) are in talks with her for the second heroine role in their film. We will have to see if that film extends her career in Tollywood.

Ram Charan’s Bruce Lee team had started the shooting of the last song in the film. Jani Master is chreographing steps for this song. By the end of this song shoot, the entire shooting part will be complete. The makers have already booked a slot with the censor on 12th of this month.

The post production works are also happening simultaneously. If they could not finish the first copy works by then, they will complete the censor with the rough copy. Every thing is set for a grand release on October 16th as Dussehra Special.

Rakul Preet Singh is romancing Ram Charan for the first time in this film in which he plays a stuntman. Chiranjeevi’s cameo in the movie makes it more rosy. The prerelease business of the film is just extraordinary.

Gunasekhar is struggling to release his Rudhrama Devi for a long time. Already the movie was postponed several times, but this time Guna is serious about the announced release date. This will mean that the movie will release a week ahead of biggies like Akhil, Bruce Lee etc.

But now the new problem is that the distributors are refusing to honour the previous amounts they have agreed for. They say their previous agreements are based on an ideal date with out any clashes. This intense competition will not give the film enough breathing space.

If the problems persists, we may see a Puli like scenario the next week too at Telugu box office. Guna has turned producer with this film and there are big stakes involved on this project. Already Guna is at the lowest of his career as a director with back to back failures.

When Ram’s Friday release Shivam hit the screens, critics and audiences gave it a collective thumbs down especially its excessive runtime. With an unbelievable length of 168 minutes, Shivam team indeed took a great risk and bore the brunt, with the talk getting more and more disappointing with each show. Noticing this restlessness among audiences, Shivam team has finally done the salvage act.

As per the latest reports, Shivam has been trimmed by nearly 20 minutes and the makers edited out all the unnecessary scenes that were causing a huge hindrance to the film’s smooth narrative flow. The shortened version has been playing already and apparently, the response has been a bit encouraging from the audiences. But whether this latest move will help the film’s prospects will be understood by Monday.

As of Tollywood, unlike it’s a highly special film viewing experience like Baahubali or a film that has a strong content like Srimanthudu, it has become a risky proposition for filmmakers to exceed anywhere beyond 140-145 minutes. The same was noticed with Kick 2. Even though the makers shortened Kick 2 by 20 minutes, it did not help the matters. Let’s hope Shivam manages to reach to the shore.
