Nandamuri Balakrishna’s Lion despite the negative talk and reviews, is doing exceedingly well at the box office. The movie’s box office performance even surprised many box office experts. However all those who watched the film say Satyadeva is the real culprit who let the film down.

He was not able to handle the movie’s screenplay and finally that affected the film. However Satyadeva says he has one more script ready for Balayya and given a chance he will narrate it to the actor. Satyadeva says the script is titled ‘Sarwabhouma’ and is a very powerful script suited to the box office bonanza.

Balayya is unlikely to give a chance to Satyadeva at least in near future. His next film in the direction of Srivas will go on floors next month. The film later is Balayya’s 100th film which is likely to be directed by Boyapati Srinu.

Ace director Ram Gopal Varma is churning out films one after the other for several years with out much success. His latest endeavour is ‘365 days’ releasing on May 22nd. The movie interestingly got a clean U certificate which is the first time for any RGV film in his two decade long career.

We spoke to people who watched the film in the censor screening and to our surprise, the reports are positive. The movie is about how a couple hurry in to marriage but part their ways in just 365 days of time. They say RGV portrayed the problems faced by them very well.

Special attraction is the voice-over of Ram Gopal Varma which comes as the film progress. They say the movie is lot better than many Ram Gopal Varma films off late. However the disappointing thing for the director’s fans is that there will not be any trade mark RGV’s mass and crime elements in the film.

Mozzart of Madras AR Rahman had fans across the globe panning many languages as they say music has no language. Being a busy man working even in English films, Rahman is working selectively in Indian films. But surprisingly he crooned a song for a Telugu movie. That too for a dubbing film.

AR Rahman sang all the songs for Dhanush’s Mariyaan and now the film is being dubbed in to Telugu. And AR Rahman immensely liked one of the songs in the film and he is also rendering it in Telugu too. Rahman recently recorded that song in his Los Angeles Studio.

Dhanush for several years did not have any market in Telugu. However his recent endeavour, Raghuvaran B.Tech is one of the biggest hits in Telugu in terms of Return on Investment. And so all of sudden, demand for the dubbing rights of his films suddenly increased.

Telugu film industry is catch 22 situation after the state bifurcation occurred.
