Unbelievable: 2.5 acres of land for just Rs. 60
With the land values increasing each passing day across India and especially in Andhra Pradesh, one acre of land costs anywhere more than 10 lakhs depending on the area. However, the situation is totally opposite in several African countries. With the Duty Free Tariff Preference (DFTP), several Indian companies are given subsidies to cultivate lands in a few African countries.
Due to severe underdevelopment, land values in most African countries come for as cheap as Rs. 60 for 2.5 acres. Several Indian companies have been purchasing lands, growing crops in close to 34 African countries and exporting the yields to global countries and thereby making huge profits.
The labour costs in most African countries are quite cheap and this comes handy to the Indian companies. Even though the African lands are less fertile compared to Indian lands with only 250 kg paddy against 500-600 kg in India, the overall inexpensive farming resulted in Indian companies like L&T and Shapoorji Pallonji etc show keen interest in African countries like Kenya, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania etc to earn big through crops like cashew, cotton, rubber and coffee etc.
How Baahubali Changed Business Equations?
Magadheera’s highest collections record was unbroken until Attarintiki Daredi arrived. It took almost 4 years to register a new industry hit in Tollywood. While the ace director SS Rajamouli took Telugu pride to another level with Magadheera, the same director changed Tollywood business equation with recent outing Baahubali.
The Prabhas and Rana starrer film emerged as India’s third highest grosser minting over 570 crores worldwide hitherto. If their plans to release International version of the film are implemented, Baahubali would take first or at least second slot.
Favorably, Baahubali is helping Tollywood to increase its market range. While it remained a dream task for any Telugu film to reach 60 crore mark, now it has become easy chore post Baahubali released. Mahesh Babu’s Srimanthudu is likely to end as second highest grosser, thanks to Baahubali that opened market for Telugu cinema in several territories like Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Northern States and few foreign countries. If Srimanthudu was released before Baahubali, the movie would have collected 50 to 60 Cr shares hardly.
As per trade experts, pre release business for upcoming Telugu films has been increased with Baahubali effect. Corporate companies like Eros International, UTV are keen on buying Telugu films. This is really a good sign for Telugu cinema trade.
Why KCR’s Desire May Remain Unfulfilled
Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s desire may not be fulfilled. It may remain unfulfilled. The Telangana government has been wanting to have a parade ground near Golconda fort for which CM KCR needs defence ministry’s lands. In fact, Mr KCR had written a letter to defence ministry six months ago requesting them to part the required land and even agreed to give alternative parcel of land elsewhere. However, there is no response from defence ministry on it yet.
It’s learnt that the Telangana government sought about 50 acres near the fort to locate its own parade ground. CM KCR has proposed a land-for-land deal to which defence ministry remain tight-lipped. “We have not received any communication from the defence authorities on the issue,” Telangana government adviser Dr KV Ramana Chary was quoted as saying.
Besides this, Telangana government is seeking possession of 657 acres of government land in and around Hyderabad which don’t have proper documents and defence ministry too vying up for the land. With this, a standoff is expected between both the parties. Also, Telangana government has sought another 60 acres of Plo Ground in Secunderabad for the proposed new Secretariat. Defence Ministry has kept the plea hanging. Looks like, the tug of war between Telangana government and Defence Ministery is imminent and for now, KCR’s desire may remain unfulfilled.

Size Zero gets an audio launch date!
Anushka and Aarya’s next, Size Zero will have its audio release event on September 6th in Malaysia. Both the Telugu and Tamil audios are expected to release on the same day there. The movie had completed its shooting formalities very recently and currently it is in post production phase.
Size Zero is a bilingual movie made simultaneously in Telugu and Tamil. Aarya is playing the lead role. Earlier Aarya and Anushka together acted in Varna for PVP which was a huge flop. They are doing Size Zero at reduced remuneration to bring some respite to the producer. Size Zero is a romantic comedy.
The film also has Sonal Chauahan in its ranks. It has a stellar cast line up with heavyweights like Prakash Raj,Urvashi, Ali, Posani, Master Bharat. Ananganaga O dheerudu fame Prakash Kovelamudi is wielding megaphone for this film.
Tamanna Imitates Devasena Look!!
Milky beauty Tamanna looked rather rugged in the whole film of ‘Baahubali’ while her titillating treats in songs looked quite convincing. Wondered how she looks if in case she appeared in a pink saree and jewelery like Devasena we’ve seen in the making videos of Baahubali? Much before Anushka arrives with that glamorous avatar in Baahubali 2, Tamanna has given a glimpse of it.
Here comes a song that goes by the lyric, ‘Naa Romba Busy’, which was from Arya-Tamanna starrer ‘Vasuvum Saravananum Onna Padichavanga’ that will release soon. This song features our milky lady in a saree-getup from the first frame where she looks exactly like a xerox-copy of Devasena in Baahubali.
Has Tamanna imitated that look intentionally or the makers have just come out with such ethnic traditional Maharashtrian kind of look for her is something no known, but her teasing is quite interesting. Meanwhile, milky’s dances are awesome along with Arya and her mass getup in a lungi and folded shirt is a mercury raiser.
Kamal Hassan croons for Cheekati Rajyam!
Universal Hero Kamal Hassan had lent his voice for the only song in his next, Cheekati Rajyam. The recording is already completed for the Tamil version, the Telugu song will also be recorded very soon.
This is the only song in the movie and also it is a promotional song which comes towards the end of the film at title credits. The movie is said to be a suspense thriller and so there is no space for songs. The shooting is completed in a record 39 working days.
The film will now enter in to extensive post production phase. Strong Buzz emerging from Kollywood is that the movie is a heavily inspired from a French film in which the entire story takes place in one night.

VV Vinayak is trying his level best to give a sensational debut to Akhil. Accordingly there expectations and hype are skyrocketing as the movie release nears.
Prabhas is the National Ambassador of Mahindra XUV 500
Prabhas will now join the likes of Mahesh Babu in the elite club of National Ambassadors from Telugu, after he signed a big fat endorsement deal with Mahindra. He will be endorsing Mahindra XUV 500 across the nation.
After the super success of Baahubali, Prabhas’ popularity increased across the length and breadth of the country and so the company immediately roped him paying a hefty pay cheque. A commercial and photo shoot will be done on the actor very soon and it will go on air in print and electronic media.
Prabhas is currently on a holiday enjoying with his friends. He will very soon come back and start preparing for his role in Baahubali-2. The movie shooting is expected to resume in October.
Srimanthudu Producers Lost 20 Crores
Biggest of big hits, Srimanthudu is the talk of town. Probably the film has broken the Baahubali saga by catching attention of everyone. After two big disasters, Mahesh Babu has literally felt relieved with this happening. But why would his producers lose money?
If we have to believe that Eros Entertainment has bought the rights of the film for 80 crores, then we have to agree that Mythri Makers and even Mahesh hast lost 30 crores jointly. Had the makers released ‘Srimanthudu’ themselves, they would have easily seen a share of 90-100 crores recovering from all areas. Rather taking 80 cr from Eros, if they took patience route, another 20 crores would have fallen in their accounts. This is just an assumption, but fans do believe that Srimanthudu producers have hurried a little.
On the other hand, Mythri Makers has thanked Telugu audiences for giving such warm welcome and a stupendous hit just for their first film. They are looking forward to give more such meaningful treats to audiences in the coming days.
