According to reports, top politicians are making a beeline to watch Mahesh Babu’s latest offing Srimanthudu. The list of big wigs, who’re interested to see Srimanthudu, include AP CM Chandrababu Naidu and several other Union Ministers. Buzz is that AP CM Chandrababu Naidu is going to watch the film at his residence on 16th of this month. Rumour has it that Mr Naidu would also meet Mahesh Babu and going to appreciate him for his film’s grand success.

Tipped to be a family entertainer laced with a social-message, the story revolves around millionaire Harsha who leaves his father’s riches aside, adopts a village and develops it by arranging basic amenities. Opened to unanimous reviews, the movie said to have thug heartstrings of many.

Meanwhile, Guntur MP Jaydev Galla is arranging a special show for Union Ministers in New Delhi on Tuesday. Several top ministers are going to watch the film as its premise is in line with PM Narendra Modi’s brainchild initiative ‘Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana’. It may be recalled that Telangana IT Minister KTR has already watched the film and raved about it. Looks like, politicians are making a beeline to watch the film.

S Radha Krishna (Chinna Babu) who produced Julayi and S/o Satya Murthy is not just a producer, but he has made director Trivikram his business partner too. This is what film industry says if we have to believe the reports coming in.

‘Haarika and Haasini Creations’ is the banner of this producer on which he made movies like Julayi and S/o Satyamurthy. Even the upcoming Nitin-Trivikram film and also another Mahesh Babu movie will be produced by the same banner. Reports have that his production house is nothing but home banner of Trivikram, as he is not charging a penny from Radha Krishna.

They say our magical writer-director is the business partner and takes him share only after the film makes profits. This talented director of Attarintiki Daredi might charge around 7-10 crores, but by this partnership he’s said to be pocketing around 15 crores.

The other day Radhakrishna and Trivikram have jointly issued a ‘Birthday’ poster on the eve of Mahesh Babu’s 40th birthday. Much before any film’s confirmation, no producer will be giving such ads to media. Probably that is the triggering point of this discussion.

Craze for film awards is rampant among film stars and this fascination to grab top film honours is a bit more in Bollywood, where all the top and upcoming stars desperately vie for awards and even take part in numerous award functions throughout the year. However, there are a few exceptions like Aamir Khan, who refuse to accept or attend these award shows.

Latest to join this rare league now is the Bollywood Queen Kangana Ranaut. This National Award winning actress has recently refused to accept the reputed Melbourne International Film Festival’s Best Actress award. Kangana said that she does not believe in such awards and that she will gladly attend the film festival for the screening of her latest blockbuster, Tanu Weds Manu Returns.

Melbourne International Film Festival authorities wanted to honor Kangana for her impeccable performances in Queen and Tanu Weds Manu Returns. However, Kangana politely told them that she does not accept film awards even in India. Kangana, in her decade long career, won the Filmfare for Fashion and National Award for Queen.

He is a talented director who made super hits with the then leading stars of Telugu film industry. His name is Jayanth C Paranji and his super hits include Preminchukudaam Ra, Baavagaru Bagunnaara, Lakshmi Narasimha and Shankardada MBBS. His last Telugu film was “Teenmaar” that starred Pawan Kalyan, and it was a mega flop. After this failure, Jayanth says, “I’m bored of scripting those star-scripts that don’t actually have any storytelling“.

What’s Jayant up to now? After 4 years of break, finally he has found a path which he would love to travel. Rather making those regular star-hero centric films, he’s now banking on subject oriented scripts that don’t fall in commercial-masala category, art films neither. “I’m coming up with the story of a drunkard cop who cracks his whip on child pornography and human trafficking.

It will be as real and rugged”, he says. We hear that Jayanth is filming this movie without any songs, romance or lights-reflectors for the shooting. Only a shoe-string budget will be put into the film, but the content will do the talking.

Tollywood is looking for such welcome change from a long time, as most of our films became 6 songs and 3 fights routine. Hope Jayanth gets his equations right.

According to grapevine, sultry siren Shruti Haasan is buzzed to be “Tantrum Queen” as she is showing stars to producers and unit people. Apparently while shooting for her recent Telugu film which she shot with ace star, she troubled the production people a lot.

“Whenever director planned combined scenes with her and hero on a particular day, she used to arrive into city on the same day flight giving production people jitters. Production people had to face a lot of difficulty in getting her onto location on time. Unit people used to fear a lot as if anything gets delay, they might have to face the anger of director, hero as the total plan would go awry,” said a source in the know on condition of anonymity.

Source added that it’s not so easy to work with Shruti divulging that she even spent only single day for the movie promotion. Many opine that it’s not fair for daughter of a committed actor like Kamal Haasan to resort to such starry tantrums.
