Mahesh, Namrata To Launch ‘Gautham Productions’!
If the buzz from film sources is to be believed, Superstar Mahesh Babu and his dear wife Namrata are going to launch a new production house very soon. This production house will be named after their son Gautham, says the buzz.
Apart from Padmalaya Studios banner there is Indira Productions headed by Manjula and Krishna Productions launched by Ramesh Babu from the Ghattamaneni family. Now Mahesh is all set to launch a new one on his son’s name as per speculations.
It would be interesting to see if Mahesh produces movies with other heroes on his banner or not. Most of the Bollywood superstars have launched own production houses and have been producing films with newcomers. Mahesh is always game for experimental flicks, but being a superstar he couldn’t attempt few novel ideas.
We can expect a new wave of movies from Mahesh Babu’s own banner going by the liking he has in contemporary cinema. As per the grapevine we can expect the official announcement from Mahesh on either his dad Krishna’s birthday or his son Gautham’s birthday.
Will Tollywood really play cricket for KCR?
Some of the mindless arguments and polices of KCR government seems to be having no end. It is anyway known that Tollywood is seen as very close to TDP. Hence TRS is doing everything it can to make sure that Tollywood now bows its head to the TRS government in Telangana region.
People in film industry usually organize charity shows when ever there is an emergency and there is a need for rehabilitation of those who are in desperate need after any natural calamities. Their help is always appreciated and acknowledged with crores that comes in which helps government efforts.
Recently Tollywood had raises crores for Hudhud Cyclone relief and this was well organized with a series of shows. Now some members of Telangana unit of film industry have proposed that film industry folks would be playing cricket for supporting KCR’s welfare policies inTelangana.
Sources say that this proposal is being opposed very much. It is nothing related to any natural calamity or even say, for farmer suicides in the region for which they may play cricket or what ever toraise funds. If such a thing is encouraged, then whenever there is a new government, for their new policies film industry guys may have to do batting and bowling.
