0
Salman Khan’s bag had got exchanged with that of a woman at the Hyderabad airport. One of his female fellow passengers travelling in the Mumbai-Hyderabad flight, mistakenly took Salman Khan’s bag, leaving behind her own bag on the conveyer belt. Salman Khan’s team also confused the bag to be Salman’s and opened it to find out women clothing in the bag. In this confusion, the team went about trying to locate the lady and Salman Khan’s luggage. But the lady had already left the premises and so they were unable to trace her.

So they informed the airport authorities about this glitch who were very cordial and helpful. They traced the lady on the basis of the contact details which was found by the airport authorities in the lady’s bag only. She was immediately contacted and asked to come back to the airport while informing her about the whole confusion which had taken place. It took for her a couple of hours to reach the airport and deliver the bag to Salman Khan’s team. The team found all of Salman’s clothes intact in the bag.

Salman Khan was going to Hyderabad to perform at the Hiltex ground. A close source revealed that when the team narrated the incident to Salman Khan, he could not control his laughter.

The war of words between TRS chief K Chandrasekhara Rao and the YSR Congress leader Konda Surekha is going strong. This war of words was initiated when Konda Surekha had stated that only when all the family members of KCR committed suicide will Telangana be formed. To this, KCR replied that if anyone,then it was Surekha who should support Telangana and put an end to her life for the cause.

Surekha is quite unapologetic about this statement and has refused to withdraw any remarks made against KCR. Adding on to the ongoing war, Surekha has accepted the challenge of KCR that she will end her life for the sake of creation of Telangana by committing suicide. But she has kept a condition that KCR should also be prepared to commit suicide with her. Speaking to the media at Warrangal, Surekha informed that they should commit suicide before the all-party meeting is held at Delhi. She also announced that the commission of suicide will happen at Sonia Gandhi’s official residence at 10 Janpath. She also revealed her reason for the venue that she has chosen and that is Sonia Gandhi might announce the Telangana state if she is frightened with these suicides. She also said that she is ready to go to Delhi with KCR whenever KCR decides to go and also asked him to fix the date for the day when they would commit suicide.

She also accused KCR of cashing on the suicides of about 800 students and youngsters who gave up their lives for Telangana, adding that it was because of KCR ad TRS that all these youngsters lost their lives.

The Film Nagar Cooperative Housing Society has brought out the scam in the Tollywood industry. Recently an inquiry conducted into the alleged irregularities in the allotment of plots and memberships of the Society and in the line of enquiry are actorturned-realtor Murali Mohan, actor Kaikala Satyanarayana and A Ramesh Prasad, managing director of Prasad Laboratories, former president of
Film Nagar Housing Society V B Rajendra Prasad.

There has been a discrepancy in the allotments of plots. Though the society bylaws allow each member to be allotted only one plot yet some members own more than one , in fact about seven to eightplots, in the names of their family members and even in benami names. T Chinnappa Reddy, one of the members, owns seven plots in the name of his wife, two daughters and mother. He claims to be afilm producer but has not produced a single movie. This proves that even those people were allotted plots who did not belonged to the film industry. Actor Murali Mohan, who also owns Jayabheri Arts Productions, reportedly holds eight plots in the name of his family members by claiming that they are part of Jayabheri Art Productions. All these were revealed in an inquiry report, which added that theprocedures and bylaws had not been followed by the management committee right from the beginning with respect to the allotment of plots and admission of members into the society.

The report also revealed that the plots, which are actually meant to be used for residential purposes ,were being used for commercial purposes. Some members had not constructed their housesafter the allotment of plots despite the society having issued legal notice to these members A high-level inquiry into the issue has been suggested by N Kiranmayee, person in-charge of Film Nagar Cooperative Housing Society and former district cooperative officer of Hyderabad.

Mahesh Babu hurt the feelings of Venki fans

0
There is a huge applause everywhere for the successful happening of long awaited Mahesh babu and Venkatesh multi starrer ‘Sitamma vakitlo sirimalle chettu’. Keeping their egos aside, the two big stars of Tollywood may bring back the long forgotten grandeur Multi starrer films to Telugu film industry.
 
But in such cases, there is enough scope for the fans to get hurt their feelings, in backing up their stars. Similar incident happened in the audio launch of SVSC. Venkatesh fans got hurt by Mahesh babu. At the end of the audio function, venkatesh fans came with a gigantic garland to felicitate both the stars on the dais. But Mahesh refused this act saying he doesn’t like these kinds of things, which is true. Knowing their hero completely, Mahesh fans did not try any such felicitations. But it was heard that venki’s fans got hurt.
 
But the disappointed fans should know the interests of stars first before making a move in such public events.

Who is listening to Pawan Kalyan’s scripts?

0
Answer is Trivikram Srinivas. Pawan Kalyan is a star who has a very limited circle of friends. Now the star director Trivikram is the thickest friend, mentor and is even more than that to Pawan now. If anybody wants to narrate a story or any producer who wants to meet Pawan Kalyan, he has to get the blessings of Trivikram first. The stories will reach Pawan Kalyan only after being filtered by Trivikram. Unless Trivkram okies the scripts, they won’t reach Pawan. But being a director himself, Trivikram should face the question of genuineness in selecting the scripts and in finding flaws and loopholes, appealed few industry people who wants to meet Pawan.
 
Trivkram’s role in Pawan’s life is not just restricted to selection of scripts, as per the talk in industry, Trivkram is as important as the astrologer Satyanarayana Chowdary was once to Balakrishna. Now power star has given more power to Trivkram.
 
Adding more drama to it, pawan is blindly following Trivkram’s instrucitons like a kid to his drill master. Pawan is even offering prayers and rituals as per the suggestions of Trivikram.

Mahesh with Godavari slang

0
Telugu is a beautiful language and Godavari slang got a specialty out of all the slangs of Telugu. We can observe that clearly in the dialect of the director Srikanth addala. It is clearly shown even in his first film ‘Kotha Bangaru Lokam’ in the diction of hero Varun sandesh. Now this young director made Super star Mahesh babu who is playing the role of ‘chinnodu’ as the brother of Venkatesh to use this slang in his new multi starrer film ‘Seethamma vakitlo sirimalle chettu’. Mahesh babu himself revealed this matter in the audio launch of SVSC. ‘Nannu confuse cheyoddu, confusion lo ekkuva kottesta’ this is a sample for the kind of punch dialogues that Mahesh used to say in his films. But it will be very interesting to see Mahesh delivering dialogues in the Godavari slang. It would be a celebration to Mahesh fans said few industry critics and analysts. We just have to wait to enjoy Mahesh mannerism in Godavari slang

If some thing or some one is most powerful and dangerous in the modern democracy, it is the media. Powerful politicians to mighty film stars no one would like to be in the bad books of the media. But the 4 movie old actor Ram Charan seem to have different ideas. He directly locked horns with the media in his speech at Nayak audio function with strongest of words.

“Just because Pawan babayi didn’t attend one of my functions, media had started speculating things. His absence doesn’t mean that he’s distanced from us. Our relations won’t be affected because a channel or newspaper wrote something bad. They can not wither away our 35 years of relationship by their writings. I treat them (media) like a strand of my hair (Naa Ventruka Tho Samanam).”

We will have to wait for the after-effects of this speech!

Movies with small budgets make it big

0
Small budgets movies, which lack the frills of big-budget movies like lavish sets, designer clothes and star casts, have finally begun to find feet in the industry.

Recalling the days of producing Dollar Dreams, Sunitha Tati, the executive producer, narrated that they had promoted the film himself by requesting people to allow them to stick posters before the releaseand sold tickets themselves. Yet they had managed to get the movie released in only one theatre. Those were the pre-internet days but now movie promotion in Tollywood has changed drastically and for good.

The way in which internet has revolutionized film-promotion is amazing. The director of Routine Love Story, Praveen Sattaru, agrees that internet is the easiest and cheapest way to promote a movie, especially when a movie has no big stars to catch the attention of the viewers and the conventional modes of advertising cost a bomb. Talking about how he used social networking sites to promote hismovie, he emphasizes on the importance of a unique idea to create buzz about a small film. For his film,they made posters about whacky themes which tell what the movie is about and gave the tagline as“relationships are fun”. Their strategy proved successful when the movie got its tickets sold out before the actual release of the movie.

Similarly, the makers of Bangaru Kodipetta are conducting an online contest for the purpose of selecting people to feature in a promotional film. They are also launching a tag line contest for the film. Theywill also release behind-the-scenes shots to generate curiosity about the film. They have also created a journal in the graphic-novel style to show the happenings during the shooting. This has succeeded ingenerating great online response.

At the end of the day, the marketing is crucial. The promotions and the marketing have to have an impact upon the viewers for a movie to be financially successful. Movies like Ee Rojullo and Bus Stop,marketed similarly, reaped its benefits. Ee Rojullo had an audio launch with Allu Arjun as the chief guest which created a huge buzz and garnered a lot of public attention. Similar strategy was adopted for Bus
Stop.

Innovative ideas to grab eyeballs and the use of internet to create hype about the movie are must for the success of a movie.
