Rajamouli’s friend buys Baahubali 2
The business of the second part of India’s biggest motion picture Baahubali has kickstarted already. Rajamouli’s close friend and one of leading producers cum distributors in Tollywood Sai Korrapati has purchased the Karnataka rights of Baahubali The Conclusion for an astronomical price.
Sources say that the deal has been finalised for an exorbitant price, following the sensational success of Baahubali in Karnataka and elsewhere. In this all inclusive deal, Sai Korrapati will be releasing Baahubali the Conclusion in Telugu, Tamil and even Hindi, across Karnataka through his Vaarahi Chalana Chitra.
Released on 10th July, Baahubali ended up as a huge blockbuster in Karnataka and netted close to 45 crores, a record even tough to break by many Sandalwood top stars. Interestingly, Sai Korrapati also bought the Karnataka rights of Baahubali’s first part. But he sold off the rights to another distributor named Srinivas to a hefty amount. By purchasing the second part rights so early, Sai Korrapati indirectly stated that he will be keeping the rights to himself this time.
Samantha Said Anushka ‘aka’, Not ‘Akka’
How celebrity’s reaction in interpreted in media is always a debate. Because they always argue that media is destroying the information in the name of ‘spicing’ it up. That stunned sensuous beauty Samantha Ruth Prabhu today.
Our star heroine is all praises for Anushka the other day, after looking at the first look of “Size Zero”. Proudly, Sam says, “In times where every heroine is trying to look hotter than the other. It’s really nice to know that there s more that we can do”, praising Anushka’s decision to go obese for the role. In a bit of happiness, Samantha exclaimed, “Wowwwwwww like wowww. So refreshing. Anushka aka amazing. Looking forward. #SizeZero“‘
In fact, Samantha was trying to say that Anushka is also known as “Amazing”. Here the ‘aka’ she used is an acronym for ‘also known as’. But few Tamil media houses termed that as “Anushka akka amazing” and published stories that Sam called Anushka as sister. Poor Sam took to twitter to clarify that she hasn’t called that heroine as sister.
Pic Talk: Srimanthudu’s Salute Selfie
Mahesh Babu and Shruti Haasan have joined the Salute Selfie bandwagon. Paying rich tributes to freedom fighters who freed India from the clutches of British and saluting Indian armed forces who are saving the nation by guarding line of control, team Srimanthudu stepped in to greet Happy Independence Day uniquely.
Wishing all Indians happy Independence Day, Mahesh Babu shared the above special picture on his twitter and wrote, “Harsha and Charusheela #SaluteSelfie. Wishing everyone a happy Independence Day!! from team #Srimanthudu (sic).”
Since Srimanthudu’s premise is in line with PM Narendra Modi’s brainchild initiative ‘Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana’ and Telangana government’s signature programme ‘Gram Jyothi’, Mahesh’s Srimanthudu is considered as good bet to watch it on silver screen for this Indpendence Day eve.
Loafer in the Golden City
Mega Prince Varun Tej is a busy man these days. He immediately shifted to the shooting of his next Loafer, as soon as he completed Kanche. The movie was progressing at brisk pace and recently completed a major schedule in Jodhpur.
They have now reached Jaisalmer, the Golden City of India for one more major schedule there. Non-stop schedules are planned for the film and the makers are planning November release for the movie. According to the sources close to Puri, the movie is a youthful Love story.
Varun Tej’s debut film, Mukunda ended up as a dreadful experience and Varun wants to make amends for the failure with these two films – Kanche and Loafer. C.Kalyan who is the producer of Jyothi Lakshmi will be producing this film as well. Disha Patani is making her Telugu debut with this film.
Kanche Teaser makes an impression!
A 45 second teaser of Varun Tej’s Kanche was released today on the eve of Independence day. Few days ago, director Krish said that Kanche is that kind of film which was never attempted in Telugu Cinema till now. And the teaser supported his claim.
The movie is set in the backdrop of World War-II as in the rumour mills. Varun Tej as Hari Babu writes a letter to Seetha (may be Pragya Jaiswal) from an army cam. The dialogue, “Prema yudham lo kuda untundi…Ekkadaina prema yudham lagane untundi” have gone very well with audience.
The little teaser ends with some war visuals. Definitely the movie managed to stir curiosity in people. The movie is being planned for October 2nd release on the eve of Gandhi Jayanthi. We will hopeful see a different attempt from Krish who delivered several meaningful films in the past.
Its not just Sardaar, it is ‘Sardaar Gabbar Singh’
At the stroke of midnight on the Independence day, the makers of Pawan Kalyan’s next had released the first look poster of their movie. Interestingly, the movie is not Sardaar as in people but is ‘Sardaar Gabbar Singh’.
We do not know the rationale behind it but the makers are also using Sardaar while conversing. The poster also revealed that Pawan Kalyan’s production house, Pawan Kalyan Creative works is the co-producer of the film along with North Star Entertainments and Eros International.
The actor is seen carrying two guns in his hands and two in his belt buckle. As he is seen in his trademark, attitude filled style, fans have gone made and the hashtag ‘SardaarFirstLook’ was trending on Twitter even before the release.
