Rather than their names, Kalyan Ram and Jr NTR, both are now getting popularised as Nandamuri Brothers for their frequent appearances together everywhere. While the younger one is busy with the pre-production of his next under Sukumar’s direction, elder one is mulling over various ideas to bring out his latest production.

Kalyan Ram missed each and every single available date to release his first ever production venture with a hero other than him. Mass Raja and Surender Reddy’s sequel to their blockbuster ‘Kick’ is taking much time than expected to see light.

In this process, our producer has missed out all those golden doors to treasure cove at box office in Summer. From May 8th, ‘Kick 2’ got shifted to 14th initially and that date got lost to ‘Lion’. Rest of the happening Fridays have seen movies like ‘Pandaga Chesko’, ‘Rakshasudu’ and others release, while coming Friday, June 5th is seeing some other small flicks hit screens. Seriously, Kick 2’s position is not clear and most surprising is that Thaman is still working on the re-recording of the film.

We hear that makers are hoping for a June 26th release, but that leaves only with 2 weeks of gap to amass the whole investment as Baahubali will be arriving on July 10th. And the week that falls later, Srimanthudu booked July 17th. Just two weeks will be seriously tough for Kick 2 to see miracles, even if its blockbuster. Hope the team gets best #Kick.

It happens to be Ram Charan’s second flick in Telugu, and that went on to become an industry hit. This young hero’s energy and performance coupled with Rajamouli’s creativity had resulted in a stupendous box office success. Had Allu Arvind listened more to Rajamouli in this connection, the profits would have shot up.

Like the way Baahubali is being planned for a simultaneous release in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi and Malayalam, even Magadheera was supposed to hit Tamil screens on same day. Somehow Allu Arvind is heard delaying the tamil release and it took almost 2 years for him to bring the dubbed version ‘Maveeran’ to screens. The film has just clocked two crores and sank without any trace.

‘Had we released the film at the earliest, with better dubbing and quality mixing, then result would have been different’, says Rajamouli. That’s the reason he is rushing to release Baahubali in four languages at same time, as Keeravani could give a fantastic output all at once rather repeating process for each tinsel town at later times.

But the below average show of Magadheera in Tamil is going to hurt Rajamouli forever, if we have to read from his statements. Maybe Allu Arvind should have believed his director rather his own instincts which any way made him the king of blockbusters.

Giving a momentum to the online distribution, Manchu Vishnu has come up with an appreciable strategy. The actor cum producer decided to release his upcoming production, Sampoornesh starrer Singham 123, on the internet on the same day of its release. The film will be made available from tomorrow on a web portal exclusively for overseas viewers.

Viewers can pay a nominal fee and enjoy the film with entire family and friends on their laptops or Smart TVs. This pay per view concept is slowly catching up in Tollywood and the last film that explored this online distribution was Nara Rohith’s Rowdy Fellow. However, this system is yet to gain support from traditional distributors in Tollywood who allege that online release may result in piracy which directly affects the film’s collections all over.

Online distribution overseas doesn’t involve the usual distribution logistics and often is a single window platform that enables the filmmakers earn whatever the film manages to collect. This is primarily a big boon to small filmmakers, who cannot afford an overseas distributor as their films contain no star value.

Chennai: Contrary to the reports, actor Kamal Haasan, who is busy shooting for Tamil thriller “Thoongavam”, and filmmaker Mani Ratnam are not teaming up for a project, a source said.

“Nobody is sure where this rumor came from. Kamal sir is busy shooting for his next film, and he’s not teaming up with Mani Ratnam as of now,” a source close to Kamal Haasan told IANS.

Haasan and Ratnam had previously worked in critically-acclaimed Tamil crime-drama “Nayagan”, which was even remade in Hindi as “Dayavan”.

Mani Ratnam, who is basking in the success of latest hit, “O Kadhal Kanmani”, is reportedly going to work with Dhanush in his next.

Haasan, on the other hand, is awaiting the release of Tamil thriller “Papanasam”.

Actor Nara Rohit says his forthcoming Telugu action-thriller “Asura”, which releases on Friday, is the most commercial film of his career.

“The script demanded the film to be very commercial. I could say it’s the most commercial film of my career. The film features some amazing action blocks, punch dialogues and even an item number. It’s something very contrary to what I’ve done so far,” Rohit told media.

Rohit, who is the nephew of Andhra Pradesh chief minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, noted that it was his uncle who suggested him to do more commercial films.

“He suggested that I should do more commercial movies. Although, he doesn’t have the time to watch my films, he’s been an integral part of my journey as an actor,” he said.

In “Asura”, Rohit plays role of a prison officer.
