Natasimha Nandamuri Balakrishna much awaited upcoming film “Lion” is going to hit the big screens on May 14th. The filmmakers fixed special auspicious time (Muhurtham) at 9:36 Am for screening the first copy in theatres. It is known to everyone that actually “Lion” was scheduled to roar on April 30th but it was postponed to May 1st release and later it was shifted to May 8th release and now to May 14th release.

“Lion” is facing last minutes release problems and now many doubts are arising will it be releasing on May 14th? Many rumours are spread wide in film Nagar as the reasons behind “Lion” postponements. Some said that due to incomplete business only the film is postponing where makers don’t want to release the film with deficit.

But, actual secret behind its release postponement was out!!! Yes close sources to the production house revealed that one of the Top Producers in industry who bought the Nizam screening rights of “Lion” is the main reason behind its postponement. Don’t get into confusion we are talking about Dil Raju!!! If the grapevine is to be believed Dil Raju is the one who is forcing producers for shifting the release date.

Sources say that Dil Raju bagged Nizam screening rights of “Ganga”, “Daagudu Mootha Dandakor” and “Lion” where unfortunately these three films are scheduled release with in week gap. So, Dil Raju who doesn’t want to loss with remaining two films by release of much awaited film “Lion” has decided to release “Lion” after “Ganga” & “Daagudu Mootha Dandakor”.

“Ganga” was released two weeks back and “Daagudu Mootha Dandakor” released on today. So if it is the actual secret behind “Lion” postponement than it’s confirm that “Lion” will release on May 14th.

Balakrishna is romancing Trisha, Radhika Apte and film stars Prakash Raj, Chandra Mohan, Pradeep Rawat, Aditya Menon, Sravan, Ravi Prakash, MS.Narayana, Ali, Posani Krishna Murali, Chalappathi Rao, Jayasudha, Geeta, Archana in important roles.

They are doing a photo shoot on Ram Charan for this purpose today and it is likely to go on for 2-3 days. Ram Charan’s wife, Upasana will totally manage Ram Charan’s stake in this business. Ram Charan himself admitted on record that he ventured in to this business on Upasana’s insistence.

Whether it was the confidence in the ‘Kanchana’ series or Lawrence’s own ability to appeal to the masses, the buyers have been pretty expectant about the box-office potential of Ganga and their hopes have been justified.

Into its second week now, ‘Ganga’ has turned out to be a successful project for the buyers.

Kamal Haasan’s ‘Uttama Villain’ however has appealed only to the intellectual crowd. The average movie-goer is not too thrilled with the movie and this is reflecting in the film’s box-office revenue.

Until May 14 when Balakrishna’s ‘Lion’ is scheduled for release, there are a slew of short films that will keep the audiences engaged, prominent among them being ‘Dagudu Mootha Dandakor’ and Manchu Lakshmi’s ‘Dongata’.

Lakshmi has a lot of hopes pinned on ‘Dongata’ and the success of this film will give her a hit for a change.

Gabbar Singh2 is scheduled to go on floors towards the end of this month. But one look at Pawan Kalyan gives rise to the doubt whether this deadline will at least be adhered to.

Pawan Kalyan with a fully grown beard is looking a Baba and does not seem to be in prime fitness. The character in Gabbar Singh 2 is that of a cop for which he will need to sport a lean and fit look.

So the question on everyone’s mind is whether Pawan will be able to get ready in time for the movie launch. Meanwhile the makers are reportedly confident of releasing the film for next Sankranthi.

Isn’t that a bit too optimistic considering that the movie has been postponed umpteen numbers of times and is yet to go on floors?

Rajamouli is truly one of his kind directors in Tollywood. But the fact remains that he is a true lover of cinema and does not shy away from getting inspired by older films.

Whatever he likes, he tries to incorporate in his films. And that has become the biggest problem for Rajamouli right now.

Last week, Rajamouli released the poster of Baahubali. Within minutes, the social media was full of stories about how it is a copy of a popular Hollywood poster.

Then Prabha’s poster of him carrying a siva lingam was released. Now, it is being said that a similar poster was made for an old film.

On the other hand, Baahubali’s look and story are being said to have been heavily inspired by NTR, Gummadi, Kantha Rao starrer Marmayogi.

Apparently, the overseas viewers are sincerely after him say industry insiders. In the past, Rajamouli had spoken harshly about the overseas’ viewers supporting piracy and watching downloaded movies. So the talk is that some people are after his life to really bring him down.

And that’s the reason behind his releasing very simple and zero drama posters of Anushka and Ramyakrishna. Well, it remains to be seen how much scrutiny the film will go through once it releases.

Nandamuri Balakrishna’s Lion is already postponed twice due to lack of business. The producer is struggling to sell thanks to the very poor response the movie has generated. But out of no where, the Producer got the much needed respite.

The Hindi and North India language rights of the movie were picked up for a hefty 1.25 Crore by a third party. This amount will help the cash strapped producer very much. The movie is slated for 14th May release. Lion comes after the super success of Legend and Balakrishna making political entry.

But still Lion do not have proper buzz due to a new director at the helm. The theatrical trailer and music album of the film are also not able to make an impact on trade and the audience. Trisha is romancing Balayya for the first time in this movie. Radhika Apte is playing the second heroine.

A new comer Satyadeva is wielding megaphone for this project. Rudrapati Ramana Rao is producing the film under his SLV Cinema banner. Mani Sharma who gave several chart buster audios to Balayya in the past is composing the music for this film.

Is Raja guruvu Ramoji Rao in a serious health state. The man who commands a vast media and film empire is not doing well, if reports are to be believed. Sources say that he is usually seen at most of the functions and events considering high profile celebrities in Hyderabad.

Recently the wedding events related to Danam Nagender’s Daughter and also Manchu Manoj’s engagement happened in Hyderabad. But the media baron who has friends cutting across party lines was conspicuous by his absence. On behalf of him, his trusted lieutants had come and wished the couples.

They also informed the families that Ramoji would personally call the mlater as he couldn’t come out due to mild illness. It is a known fact that his clout even forced TS CM K Chandrasekhar Rao to actually drive into his film city and make public of his camaraderie.

It is not yet known as to what may be the illness he is suffering but at the same time total silence is giving rise to unnecessary rumours and speculations. Same was the case with CM KCR, who is suspected of nursing a serious ailment. Whatever it is, unless Ramoji comes out healthy, many of his protégés wouldn’t rest!
