Summer’s biggest Tollywood release Son of Satyamurthy has completed three weeks run and not even a single buyer is into the safe zone yet.

The film has admittedly done better business than the talk generated on its first day. However the buyers will still lose some money because of the astronomical prices it was sold for.

Post release Trivikram confessed that the movie is some sort of an experiment. Allu Arjun said that this film is not for the audience who watch movies with their brains!

It means the makers are fully aware of the weaknesses of the film but that didn’t stop them from selling it for high prices. They could have limited the theatrical business around 45 crores range, instead they sold it for 54 crores and the movie is struggling to breakeven.

Same is the case with Gopala Gopala, which should have been sold for less than 40 crores considering its limited appeal.

Buyers will surely bet big on the films of big stars as they aren’t aware of the genre. Film Makers should make sure that the movie is sold for reasonable prices to everyone so that all parties make some profits on their respective investments.

Producers simply cash in on the combination and star value without taking the genre and limitations of the movie into consideration. Finally buyers are left wounded when producers happily smile all the way to the bank.

Ashmita Karnani, a Telugu film actress, was driving in Hyderabad earlier this week when two men on a bike allegedly harassed her, tried to block her path, and made obscene gestures.

Ms Karnani, 29, managed to film the men on her phone and then posted their pictures on her Facebook page.

She asked people to share the pictures, which included the license plate of their motorcycle. “Show them some love guys! SHARE SHARE SHARE,” she said.

More than 10,000 people obliged.

In all the pictures, the actress tagged the Hyderabad Traffic Police Facebook page.

“While returning from work today (from city centre signal-punjagutta) being harrased by these two super cool dudes ( vehicle number TS11EB3507) who were hell bent on obstructing my way,making gestures etc! Show them some love guys! Make them popular on fb.”

A Hyderabad police team then traced the men and arrested them yesterday.

Yes, all fans of megastar Chiranjeevi can heave a sigh of relief. Though there has been a lot of talk about Chiru’s 150th film, the megastar himself has been dilly-dallying about what subject to work on and if he really wants to do a film at this point in time.

Well, so the wait is finally over and producer Bandla Ganesh has just tweeted the good news to all mega fans. Apparently, megastar has approved a story written by BVS Ravi and the movie will be directed by Puri Jagannadh.

According to Film Nagar sources, once Chiranjeevi gave his approval, Bandla Ganesh, Puri and BVS Ravi celebrated the occasion over lunch. While it is surely good news, one is yet to decipher the Bandla Ganesh link in the entire story.

Ever since talk about Chiranjeevi’s 150th movie has been out, it was said that Ram Charan would be producing the film.

Now, he could have tweeted with the love and respect he has for Chiranjeevi. But the tailpiece is that minutes after Bandla Ganesh tweeted the news, his phone has been in the switch off mode.

It is not yet clear if he got a call from the mega camp about the tweet or if he decided to switch off unable to answer the calls that started pouring in once the news was out.

Sundeep Kishan and Rahul Ravindran’s latest, Tiger is gearing up for release. The movie has completed its shooting part a long ago and is in post production phase. The makers are planning to release the film in the second week of May. Most probably on May 15th.

In such case the movie may clash with Ram’s Pandaga Chesko which is also releasing on the same day. Tiger is being directed by V I Anand under N V Prasad and Tagore Madhu’s production. V I Anand is a former protege of A R Murugadoss.

Run Raja Run fame Seerat Kapoor is the female lead in this film whereas notable actor Rahul Ravindran is playing the crucial role. The film is set in the backdrop of the river Ganga and was extensively shot in Kashi, Rajahmundry, Hyderabad and Vizag.

The makers say the movie is a complete action entertainer and it’ll take Sundeep Kishan’s image to the next level. SS Thaman is scoring the music and Chota K Naidu is the cinematographer.

Mumbai: Shruti Haasan has found a perfect way to overcome Mumbai’s infamous traffic issue – it’s a Metro ride and the actress is gaga over it.

“Took the metro this morning in Mumbai and I must say I’m impressed,” Shruti tweeted on Thursday.

On the professional front, the daughter of actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan is gearing up for her film “Gabbar Is Back”, in which she shares screen space with Akshay Kumar.

Directed by Krish and co-produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Viacom18 Motion Pictures, the remake of the 2002 Tamil film “Ramanaa” also features Kareena Kapoor Khan in a special role. The film is slated to release on Friday.

Allari Naresh was once regarded as the minimum guarantee hero in Tollywood. Of late he has been struggling to deliver average films.

His films are bombing at the box office leaving buyers and producers in a mess. Allari Naresh himself lost so many crores on his previous film Bandipotu made on EVV Cinema banner.

In a desperate attempt to achieve success Allari Naresh is banking on a Korean freemake again says the buzz.

Gossip winery is abuzz that Allari Naresh’s upcoming film ‘James Bond – Nenu Kaadu Naa Pellam’ is heavily inspired by Korean Gangster comedy ‘My Wife is a Gangster’.

Allari Naresh scored hit with Aha Naa Pellanta, which was a blatant copy of Korean comedy ‘Marrying the Mafia’.

Interestingly Aha Naa Pellanta was produced by Anil Sunkara and this James Bond is also being made on the same banner.

Kishore who worked under Srinu Vaitla is directing this flick in which the Lady James Bond role is played by Sakshi Chowdary.

Let’s see if this Korean connection puts an end to Allari Naresh’s flop streak.

Popular Comedy actor Allari Naresh is all set to begin a new innings of his life. The actor is going to engaged with a girl named Viroopa from Chennai. It is said that the girl’s parents were natives of Krishna district but were settled in Chennai.

The alliance is said to be an arranged one. The marriage date will be fixed on that itself. Allari Naresh is the youngest son of Senior Telugu director EVV Satyanarayana who passed away few years back. Allari Naresh who forayed in to films with Allari directed by his father so far completed 50 films in his career as an actor.

It is a rare feat which is to yet to be achieved by any of Naresh’s contemporary Telugu heroes. All the eligible bachelors in Tollywood seem to be in a hurry to tie the knot. Manchu Manoj is getting married on May 20th and now Naresh’s engagement.

There are reports that even the family member of Prabhas were in search of a suitable girl for the actor. They say every one are in a hurry due to Godavari Pushkaralu. There are no muhurthams for up to one year after Pushkaralu.

“I’ve always heard that Tollywood always gives immense respect for people without looking into their background whether they are a star-kid or son of a producer. It’s really true. Tollywood is just like that”, says Kabir Duhan Singh, the stylish villain who debuted on Telugu silver screen with Gopichand’s recent hit “Jil”. In the wake of some heroines claiming chauvinistic nature about Telugu industry, Kabir has something that could break the ice.

Super success of “Jil” has landed him in a galore of opportunities, as Kabir is getting ready to stretch his muscles for Ajith’s next flick under Siva’s direction. More than that, he will be seen as villain of Alludu Seenu in upcoming Bheemineni’s film, while Nara Rohit is also likely to face Kabir as the antagonist. Speaking in bits and pieces of Telugu, he says, “Right from the start, I’ve always wanted to work in south films and Jil did amazing things for me. My next release Kick 2 will also give be oxygen. Will try to dub in Telugu myself in a while”.

As people like Radhika Apte rule out Telugu industry of chauvinism it’s exciting to see guys like Kabir sticking to optimism and piercing their way into tinsel town. “Right scripts and right directors matter here, but everything else is just trash”, Kabir adds. Probably getting opportunity is no big deal, but living upto it is what makes the difference.
