This is Different Film in My Entire Career
Eccentric filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma never ever gives cliche statements. But perhaps for the first time, he said that his upcoming film is completely different in his entire career. Although this is a kinda cliche statement in the film industry as every other filmmaker says this ahead of their film release, considering that this has come from RGV, many are wondering what makes ‘Killing Veerappan’ so different in RGV’s career.
“So far, I’ve made several films on gangsters, factionism, and horror films. But making a film on Veerappan is so special and different in my entire career. He was the most wanted criminal and the manhunt carried for him was the Asia’s largest manhunt,” said RGV.
Giving a peep into the film, the auteur of Satya, Sarkaar said, “Killing Veerappan is not biopic of Veerappan. The film is behind the story of how Veerappan is killed. There is a lot of effort put in by police officials to do this operation successful. They have worked for over 8 months. It’s very interesting and less-known story which I wanted to tell.”
Admitting that the making of the Killing Veerappan costed him a bomb, Varma didn’t reveal more details. The movie is going to release on December 4.

Bond, What’s Wrong Man?
Indian cinema lovers who have caught bond in the last weekend are shocked and disappointed. While expectations are riding high on latest bond movie “Spectre”, the first two days of collection of the film has touched 15 crores ‘gross’ in India on par with previous Bond movie “Spectre”. But audiences are not happy with the film anyway.
“Spectre” is a bond movie that deals with a killer assassin group and sums up that all the previous villains of Daniel Craig are members of this particular group. While the story looks interesting, there are no regular action elements where James Bond will unleash terror on his opponents.
Initial action episode itself is dull and lifeless, while other seasonal episodes like Bond going to different countries are much sober and disappointing. At least, pre-climax stands out in a Bond movie, but here it’s not that much worthy. Even the climax sounds like an ordinary Indian masala film, neither having any logic nor any emotional twist.
Pattern of “Spectre” is same as all the 007 movies, but the conceiving of every action sequence and other key scenes is like a regular film with not much energy into it. One wonders why director Sam Mendes who made “Skyfall” earlier has picked up this slow and uncertain story for his second James Bond venture. What’s wrong Bond?

Most Distressing Incident In Mohan Babu’s Life
Versatile actor Dr Mohan Babu has come a long way. Without any filmy connection, Mohan Babu reached heights on his own. On the eve of completing 40 years of successful run in the Telugu film industry, Mohan Babu reminisced his early days in industry.
Giving full credit to legendary director Dasari Narayana Rao who gave him big break with Swargam Narakam and turning Bhaktavatsalam Naidu into Mohan Babu, the Pedarayudu star turned emotional.
“Though I’ve shared most of my experiences before, I deliberately didn’t share few. All those memories are coming to my mind today. There were days, I struggled to pay house rent of Rs 20. When I failed to pay 3 months of rent and I wasn’t there at the room, the owner had urinated in my cooking vessels.
After coming to house, when I wanted to make food I realised what he did. I couldn’t do anything. The next day I had cleaned up my vessels and cooked food in the same vessels,” Mohan Babu shared a distressing incident from his past.
He added that he is now fortunate to have luxuries and wear good clothes. He said that he has never forget his roots and always believe in staying grounded. After Swargam Narakam, Mohan Babu didn’t look back and acted in over 520 films and produced over 50 films under Lakshmi Prasanna Pictures.

Cheap Raj Tarun A Better Choice
There is one and only factor that is highly worshipped in Tollywood and that is success. And here’s one actor who has delivered not just one but three hits in a row. Raj Tarun, is the latest hat-trick hero in Tollywood. After a sensational debut with Uyyala Jampala, Raj followed it up with Cinema Choopistha Maava and the latest hit Kumari 21F.
Apart from Kumari 21F’s solid success, Raj Tarun is specially in praise for his acting skills. Now, despite his average looks and not even featuring a typical star hero physique, the 20 something actor is giving a tough competition to young actors only with his success streak and becoming a threat to his fellow actors.
After Nani scoring a blockbuster with Bhale Bhale Magadivoy and Nikhil already entering the medium range star heroes’ league, the top slot for actors of below 30 age group has been lying unoccupied. Young stars like Sundeep Kishan, Naga Shaurya are the prominent contenders for this slot, which had been grabbed by Raj Tarun at the moment.
With his paycheck reaching the 75 lakhs to 1 crore range with every hit he is scoring and big banners like Geetha Arts and 14 Reels signing him up for their films, Raj Tarun is undoubtedly leading the race among the youngsters. And if Raj goes on to give a couple of more hits, no doubt that he too will join the big league within a year.

Sai Korrapati To Release Ashwin Movie Jatha Kalise
The way Ohmkar helped his younger brother Ashwin to realize his dream of becoming a hero by making two films ‘Genius, Raju Gari Gadi’ is really heart touching. ‘Genius’ ended as a failure while ‘Raju Gari Gadi’ not only helped Ohmkar to get a nice break as director but also made Ashwin to fall in many eyes. Thanks for the support from Varahi Banner’s Sai Korrapati because ‘Raju Gari Gadi’ grew big in reach only after getting it in his hands.
Now, Sai Korrapati is one more time helping Ashwin by buying the overall rights of ‘Jatha Kalise’ movie starring Ashwin as hero and Tejaswini as heroine. The project is already under production and entry of Sai should provide wider focus and promotions in the audience. Though more details are yet to be known, there will be a gradual hype for ‘Jatha Kalise.’
Ashwin started his career as a dance contestant in Ohmkar’s ‘Aata’ show. Later, Ashwin and Ohmkar jointly stepped into films with ‘Genius’ from the production house of Dasari Kiran Kumar. Rest is pretty much known to all.
