Superstar Mahesh Babu was to begin the shooting of his next, Brahmotsavam from this week. But he decided to postpone the shooting start by a month to accommodate more time for Srimanthudu promotions. The actor is taking extra care on the movie to extend its run.

A Thank You meet is being arranged for the movie in Hyderabad on 20th of this month. The makers are also planning to arrange two other Thank You meets in Vishakapatnam and Guntur. Mahesh Babu is also one of the producers of the movie and so he is going extra mile to promote the movie.

Srimanthudu will end up as the second biggest hit of all time only beside Baahubali. This extensive promotions will definitely increase the movie’s range.

Dictator movie unit recently canned a song for the movie which is on Lord Vinayaka. The song penned by Ram Jogayya Sastry goes like this, ‘Gam Gam Gam Ganesha.. Gowri Tanaya Sarvesha’. The makers have revealed interesting details about this song.

They have used 99 dancers and 2000 junior artistes for this song shoot. Prem Rakshit Master had composed dance movements for this song which had come out very well. They are likely to release the song trailer of this song for Vinayaka Chaviti.

The next schedule of the movie will begin in Bulgaria from 23rd of this month. They have planned to shoot couple of songs and some scenes of the movie there in this schedule. The makers have charted non-stop schedules for the film and are planning to release the film for Sankranthi 2016.

It’s common knowledge by now that superstar Mahesh Babu and Venkatesh share rare camaraderie, good personal rapport. The two stars said to have great bonding, not only on the screen, even off the screen. The latest buzz in tinsel ville says it all.
Actor Venkatesh greeted Mahesh and visited his house to personally congratulate Mahesh Babu on the stupendous success of Srimanthudu. This was even shared by Mahesh himself. But as we dig deeper, we got to know the interesting elements in it.

“Venky reportedly entered into Mahesh house upon grooving and gave tight hug to Mahesh. He said he was spellbound with Srimanthudu and its simplicity. He heaped praises on Mahesh for his subtle action,” said a source in the know on condition of anonymity.

This yet again proved that Venky is very down-to-earth, good human being. Doing a small jig and giving hug to Mahesh keeping egos aside is definitely laudable, welcome change. It seems, Venky doesn’t even has an iota of pride or ego despite being son of legendary producer, studio owner and being one of the four pillars of 3rd generation stars.

Venky certainly set a new precedent. Venkatesh (Peddodu) and Mahesh Babu (Chinnodu) shared screen space in Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu. The duo get along well on the sets of SVSC which cemented their relationship further. It’s no surprise if the duo is seen together in films to come.

Burripalem is just 5 km away from Tenali, so there is no question of any under-development there, opines critics and a look at the village proves that. However, most of the high profile school, temple, function-hall and even a B.Ed college were setup by none other than Superstar Krishna and his mother Nagaratnamma in the village. In that case, Krishna family has adopted their native place long back.

Though Mahesh Babu has revealed that he will looking into various aspects along with his brother in law Galla Jayadev to adopt Burripalem, already the family has done  much to the village. Krishna’s mother Nagaratnamma actively took decision on every aspect of village’s development and contributed rather heavily. She’s also involved in village-level politics also and her son Krishna used to frequent the village regularly.

Surprisingly Krishna family hasn’t been visiting the village after the demise of Nagaratnamma nearly 10 years back. While the village is not backward or lacking of any facilities and infrastructure, the villagers are expecting that bonding from the Ghattamaneni family. Wish the Srimanthudu would connect to his ‘roots’ soon as preached in his film.

Superstar Mahesh Babu’s Srimanthudu is going extremely well at the box office even in its second week. Every one expected the movie to die down after the second weekend’s exceptional performance.

But it had put up very good performance on Monday collecting 1.28 Crore share in both the Telugu states. On its 11th day, the movie also crossed the 70 Crore share with its worldwide figures.

Here is the breakup of Srimanthudu 11 days collections: 

Nizam: 17.83 Crore
Ceeded: 7.59 Crore
Uttarandhra: 4.29 Crore
East: 4.61 Crore
West: 3.55 Crore
Krishna: 3.57 Crore
Guntur: 4.57 Crore
Nellore: 1.59 Crore

AP+Nizam: 47.6 Crore Approx

Worldwide: 70 Crore Approx

Superstar Mahesh Babu’s Srimanthudu is doing very well at the box office. The Monday collections in the second week is about 1.3 Crore share in both the Telugu states. The movie’s worldwide share has now crossed 70 Crore including all.

Srimanthudu is only the third Telugu movie in the 70 Crore club after Attarintiki Daredi and Baahubali. The movie will most probably cross Attarintiki Daredi and stands in the number two position by the end of the third weekend.

Telugu market seem to have grown big after Baahubali success. Midnight shows and hiked rates in some areas had improved the market to some extent. We will have to see if Kick-2 stops Srimanthudu’s run the next weekend.

That’s nearly 40 days after Baahubali release. The film stormed into 500 crores club in no time and became the highest grosser in India from Indian box office. And now, a Court has ordered to chop scenes from Baahubali movie, failing which an action would be taken against the theatre management across Tamilnadu state.

Last month, a petrol bomb was hurled at a theatre in Tamilnadu by members belonging to a local outfit called “Puratchi Puligal” is a known thing. The group is angry over the way a Dalit community, Arundhadiyar, has been portrayed in the film.

Though writer Madhan Karky apologised for the misunderstood dialogues of the movie, the issue was sought to Court and Madurai bench of Madras HC has now ordered district collectors to look into the chopping of scenes. Already Censor Board is heard imposing a cut on those scenes and Court asked officials to check if the cuts are implemented or not. Otherwise, theatre owners will be fined and then scenes will be chopped.

Directed by Rajamouli, Baahubali features an ensemble star cast including Prabhas, Rana, Anushka, Ramya Krishna, Tamanna, Satyaraj and Nasser who have delivered a stellar performance. Baahubai 2 is likely to release in 2016.

Few days ago, a TV commercial featuring Prakash Raj endorsing the KFJ jewellery brand raked in a fire ball of controversies. In the ad that shows a father talking to Prakash Raj about his daughter’s marriage, Prakash Raj voices the father’s apprehension and says that ‘every girl who reaches her marrying age is a tension’.

Naturally, the ad witnessed a series of online protests from people of all sections. Noticing the backlash quickly, the company withdrew its ad. This however did not pacify the angry protestors. Clarifying about the ad finally, Prakash Raj said, “#kfj gold ad.With due respect to the concerns of all who have taken offence. I would like to state that it was not the intention. It is aimed at the mindset of people who think girl child is “tension”.

The actor explained further saying, “The ad clearly states it is the rate of gold u gift ..not the girl.” Prakash Raj, who is known for his outspoken and temperamental nature, signed off saying a few nice things about his critics and said, “I respect everyone who have questioned me.. And I promise it was not intended. Hope you see it in the context of its expression .. Thank you.”

While Prakash Raj’s tweets did calm down several protestors, many are still unhappy with the actor’s clarification.
