The movie is all set to release on the same day as Damarukam (on 12th).
Suriya enjoys good popularity in AP and has the capability of getting a decent release and causing enough damage in the openings of Damarukam. Lets see who will emerge as the winner finally!

0

It has been ages since the awesome beauty Anushka has stepped into Telugu circuit. The only project she has okayed in the recent past is ‘Damarukam’ and the reasons are known to all. But now it looks like Anushka may have altered her restrictions and given permission for one more person.

He is none other than Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja. Reports are making rounds that a new movie has been registered and is gearing up to hit the floors. This is titled as ‘Jinthatta’ and it is being touted more like a sequel to Ravi Teja’s blockbuster hit ‘Vikramarkudu’. Incidentally, Ravi Teja paired up with Anushka in that.

Buzz is that this would be directed by a debutante Koti who is a protege of the tough taskmaster SS Rajamouli. It is heard that Anushka was approached and she said yes to it because Ravi Teja is there. At a time when the Mass Maharaja is going through a string of flops, if Anushka has said yes then she must be appreciated.

Konidela Akira’s Debut with ‘CGR’

0
Power star Pawan Kalyan may be the darling of millions of youth and mass audience but he has a darling. That darling is his son Akira Nandan. It is heard that Pawan dotes a lot on his son and whenever he gets free time he prefers to spend it with him. Now, an interesting news is making rounds.

If sources are to be believed Akira Nandan would be making his debut into cinema and this is likely to happen with the new movie ‘Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu’ starring Pawan Kalyan in the lead. Buzz is that a small sequence is being prepared to show Akira in the role of a child artist.

Though one section is sure that this is happening there is another section which has quashed this as a rumour. But if it is indeed true then it will be the biggest attraction for the film. More than Pawan, the audience will be keen to see his son. We will know the truth once the film hits the screens on October 18th.

Kids clash on silver screen

0

Stars in their quest to delight and entertain viewers for ever try to bring in their family members into the film industry. This is true in case of sons while daughters it will be difficult due to various constraints. This is not a new phenomenon as from the days of NTR to more recently with Nagarjuna and others it is going on and on. While NTR cast Balakrishna, Jayakrishna and Harikrishna as child artists and two of them became heroes, Superstar Krishna launched his son Mahesh, Ramesh as child artists. Mahesh became top hero. ANR launched Nagarjuna and he inturn Nadga Chaitanya. Mohan Babu has his own sons Vishnu, Manoj and then daughter Lakshmi in the cine field.
 
While Nagarjuna  and Balakrishna are still pondering over Akhil and Mokshagna’s tollywood entry, according to latest information Prince Mahesh and Power Star pawan Kalyan are planning to launch their kids in their upcoming films. If everything goes well movie lovers will be seeing Prince Mahesh Babu’s son Gautam Krishna in ‘Seetamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu’ and Power Star pawan Kalyan’s son Akira Narayan in ‘Cameraman Gangato Rambabu’. It has to be seen who will win in this kids clash on silver screen. However still no one can beat Nagarjuna as he gets the credit to launch his son at a tender age as a baby in ‘Sisindri’, a remake of Hollywood hit Sisindri.

Effect of Puri’s anger

0
No one will ever dare to experience Puri Jagannath’s anger as it will definitely have deadly impact. The first to experience his anger happened to be DVV.Danayya who delayed Puri’s remuneration of Rs 4.5crs. A furious Puri after showing some restraint then decided to turn Pokiri and duly complained against the film maker with Producers Council. He did not care to bother even if the film suffers from negative impact.
 
Prior to that to teach lesson to Danayya, Puri finished off shooting scenes of Tamanna with minimum settings. A true Business Man, Puri also has Pokiri in him. In the midst of all this there was talk in film nager that many are praying his films should become a hit. When media found out why they were praying so sincerely for the success of Puri startling revelations came out.
 
Puri in normal state can do wonders but if he faces a flop, then he will do films like ‘Business Man’ highlighting villain traits in hero. If he gets more furious he will make films like ‘Devudu Chesina Manushulu’ which will completely erase entire storyline of evergreen classic that came long time back with the same title starring NTR and Krishna. Let’s  then prepare for Puri impact on Oct 18th

Cameos by family members flops a film?

0
Tollywood is ruled by powerful families of top stars and film makers many a time to generate interest in film and create pre release buzz rope in family members to do cameos. This converts the film into a crazy project and many expect the film to mint money at the box office. However the situation is quite different and many feel that though the film may get huge openings on the first day, when the interest fizzle out, the film turn out to be a flop at the box office.
 
Except for Magadheera where Chiranjeevi makes special appearance along with Ram Charan other films turned out to be a flop. One rembers Super Star Krishna’s appearance in Prince Mahesh Babu’s Takkari Donga, and others did not generate much interest in the film and the films bombed at the box office. More recently Prabhas ‘Rebel’ featured Krishnam Raju in powerful role but it failed miserably. One can say the same with Ukodatara Ulikipadatara in which Manchu Lakshmi appeared in a special role for her brother Manchu Manoj but the film did not do well at the box office.
 
Now doubts are being cast with Venkatesh joining Rana’s ‘Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum’. How Venky’s inclusion effect the film in the long run has to be seen on silver screen.

How Tamanna tamed Lawrence ?

0
It is known that Lawrence is very rough and tough guy. No one would like to work with him as he is strict and mean. Mangalore Beauty Anushka who starred under his direction in King Nagarjuna’s Don ran away from him, unable to bear his high handed ways of handling stars. It is a known fact that she was the first preferred actress in Prabhas starrer ‘Rebel’ that hit the screens last week. When everyone got scared of ‘Rebel’ Raghava Lawrence and started branding him as villain, milky beauty Tamanna tamed him. How she tamed is a wonder and many are now trying to contact her to seek few tips and guidance from him in case they encounter him.
 
Buzz is whenever Lawrence used to be tough during shooting Tamanna used to dole out glamor treat on silver screen. This turned out to be added advantage for the film as after the release of the film, Rebel is much talked out for Tamanna’s milky beauty treat than anything else. Buzz is even Raghava Lawrence is happy with Tamanna’s professionalism. Tamanna even permitted Raghava Lawrence to use her stills during the promos of the film which resulted in masses thronging theatres.Tamanna showed to others where there is will there is a way.

TRS taking time to strike back

0
Never since its inception, TRS faced such flak from political parties, media and public. The party always used to be at the top and used to rip apart its opponents and never gave any chance for them to comment on them. However with KCR returning empty handed after staying in Delhi for more than a month even skipping high profile telangana march organized by TJAC, they are found struggling for answers to give explanations.
 
TRS which till now has been stating that there would be announcement on telangana and KCR will merge the party with Cong is now being branded as traitor the name with which it used to accuse its rivals and opponent parties. KCR returned only yesterday and now he along with his party is in secret meetings.
 
Known for his aggressive stand and vitriolic statements one can not expect him to take anything lying down. Surely all this silence will lead to tsunami like thunder storm and people pray that it wont tarnish the brand image of Hyderabad. TRS’ bandhs or any agitations will be quite strong and KCR may give call for his party and cadre to show its strength and prove a point or two to its rivals so that they will be silenced forever.

Renuka fires T-MPs

Fire brand Cong leader Renuka Chowdhary from Khamam this time spit venom on her party’s telangana MPs who are blasting CM Kiran Kumar Reddy for his statements on Telangana and more importantly his handling of T-March. They said it was CM who is responsible for the violence that erupted during the march. They said CM insulted by blocking all ways of communication so that no one could attend the march. MPs took on CM branding him as impotent and even terming him as telangana traitor for his statement that 
Telangana can not be formed to serve political interests of all and sundry.
However Renuka Chowdhary and Jagga Reddy decided to tear upon the T MPs. They dared to utter all these words in front of Cong High Command rather than in front of local media. The two questioned if they are really fighting for telangana they should not shout in local streets but show their strength if they have any in front of Sonia Gandhi and Cong high command.
Renukha Chowdhary went a step ahead and said if T MPs don’t stop she will expose them and their vested interest in front of media. Jagga Reddy said he will ask high command to throw out MPs like Ponnam Prabhakar and Madhu Yashki for encouraging violence in Hyderabad. They wondered what business T MPs got in the state when they were asked to represent peoples problems in Delhi.

CBN’s health yatra?

0
Now a days what ever Chandra Babu does or says he is becoming laughing stock with his rival parties targeting him making fun of Babu. While some say that it is good for his health as walking is always good for health and took potshots at him saying that he might have planned the yatra on advice of his doctors.
 
Some of his rivals chose to rip him apart saying it is like fox trying to have strips of a tiger after watching it. Eventhough CBN is not replying barrel of funny comments are not stopping from his rivals. Some said that he should change the name of his yatra from ‘Vasutunna..meekosam’ to ‘Naa Kosam Vastunna’ etc.
 
They commented that CBN lost moral responsibility to conduct yatras as people will not believe him any more after getting popular as ‘two tongued babu’ and ‘double eyed Naidu’. However Babu is undeterred and is very much buoyed with the response he is getting in the yatra.
 
He is walking with farmers and is interacting with locals to get to know about their problems. It has to be seen whether all those who came to watch Babu will bring him back to power.

YSRCP out to wipe out Cong


Telangana state formation and T-March is the most covered news in media these days but YSRCP is silently on its mission to wipe out Cong following Jagan’s orders from Chanchalguda jail. Had he been out Jagan could have by this time completed most of the work but his lieutenants are no way inferior to him. According to insiders the party is currently concentrating on Hyderabad which is of strategic importance to any party.
 
Already a corporater from Cong party Adam Vijay Kumar jointed YSRCP and became Greater Hyderabad’s party president. More recently Cong corporators Suryanarayana, Harivardhan Reddy and Dhanpalreddy joined YSRCP.Cong High command unable to digest this outflow of corporators from its party to YSRCP, took steps and tried to assuage their feelings. However it can not stop the outflow.More recently a woman corporator decided to join TRS.
 
With Cong leaders getting signals that assembly elections may come any moment due to the present situation in state and center are making their own arrangements for their political future. With predictions pointing to YSRCP’s strong wave all are looking at it as an alternative. A Minister from Hyderabad is analyzing the situation in his constituency and his victory chances in another constituency. Realising that most of his colleagues, party workers and other ministers are already in YSRCP from the same constituency, he is looking for relocation. So he is getting in touch with Jagan making his friends, relatives to meet him in hail. But he feels since MIM is strong in that area, even if he joins YSRCP he may not be in position to win.
 
But with reports coming from MIM that even they wont be siding with Cong, he is now happy and is eager to join YSRCP. So writing is on wall for Cong.

Rebel’s love for Rajamouli

0
Young Rebel Star Prabhas who gave sensational stunts treat to spellbound masses as ‘Rebel’ under Raghava Lawrence revealed his love for Tollywood Jakkana Rajamouli. His love and fascination for the top director is so much that he is even willing to postpone his marriage for Rajamouli’s sake. Fans already are getting disappointed that Prabhas’ marriage got delayed due to Lawrence delaying his project Rebel and now with Prabhas committing himself for Rajamouli’s project it will get delayed for another year.

Revealing his thoughts Prabhas said  “Look I can either get married or do Rajamouli’s film. I cannot do both at the same time. So, I had to choose between my wedding and the movie… And I picked the movie,”.. It is well known that Prabhas attained stardom with Rajamouli’s mass entertainer Chatrapati and he doesnt want to miss the opportunity to work again with him. He feels it is a honor to work under his direction.

Revealing more about Rajamouli’s film he said  “We will start shooting from December. It is going to be a racy mass entertainer. It has everything from action, romance, and emotion. Most importantly, we have a great script. We will share more details soon. I’m really looking forward to working with Rajamouli again, after Chatrapathi,”.

Can Makki bite Barfi

0
When Rajamouli’s Eega was announced as one of the shortlists for finalisation of nominations to represent India at Oscars, entire Tollywood jumped in joy. However all that evaporated with in a day or two and Anurag Basu’s Barfi blocked its flight and booked its ticket to Oscars. But all is not lost for ‘Eega’ which is entering Bollywood as ‘Makki’.

It is well equipped this time beautified by star couple Ajay Devgn and Kajol’s voices of Dad and Mom. The film is all set to release on a grand scale on Oct 12th and Reliance Entertainment which is presenting the film is not leaving anything to chance. Samantha and Nani are starring in the film which has Kannada super star Sudeep as villain. Makki will be seen doing some mesmerising dance movements of Sharukh, Hrithik and others.

With already Anurag Basu’s ‘Barfi’ starring Ileana, Priyanka Chopra and Ranbir Kapoor out to rake in Rs 100 crs it requires a supersonic flight by Makki to go and sting Barfi at its own heights. Though it may be impossible, Rajamouli can surely create a sensation for sure as Makki has all the graphic attraction that can delight movie lovers and spellbound kids completely.

RGV following Ravi Babu ?

0
Maveric movie maker Ram Gopal Varma who will never listen to any one and who hates following others seems to be changing his trend this time. Ramu received severe criticism for his unconventional methodology and bizarre camera angles which many termed as rouge techniques in his films like ‘Dongala Mutha’ and ‘Department’. In ‘Dongala Mutha’ he fixed camera to Charmi and was more interested in capturing her sexy sensuous movements rather than concentrate on script and storyline. His madness with camera technology reached so high that in ‘Department’ people were tortured with unforeseen and bizarre camera angles. This led to fight even with top hero Sanjay Dutt who vowed not to work with him again.
 
In the mean time creative director Ravi Babu came with a clean horror/thriller film ‘Avunu’ starring Poorna and Harshvardhan and with neat camera angles he worked wonders at box office. It seems RGV seems to be following Ravi Babu as he promised that his camera will be steady for his upcoming film ‘Bhoot-2’ which is releasing in telugu as ‘Buchi’.
 
 ‘Boochi’ is the Telugu version of the sequel to his 2003 horror film ‘Bhooth’. The movie has J.D.Chakravarthy, Manisha Koirala and Madhu Shalini in key roles and it will be shown in 3D format.Bhooth did reasonably well when it released many years back, so Ramu is hoping that this 3D sequel earns him success. Let us see what change movie lovers will find in RGV and his camera angles.

Will Chaitu feel for lack of ‘Gauravam’

0
Nava Yuva Samrat Naga Chaitanya walked out of Radha Mohan’s crazy bilingual project ‘Gauravam’ after having second thoughts about the film. He felt that since he is working hard for a mass image, doing a film with class director like Radha Mohan will not help him in the long run.
 
Chaitu his hellbent on having mass image as he feels that only heroes with mass image can survive in the long run. Though he scored hits as lover boy with films like ‘ye Maya Chesave’, ‘100% Love’ is in no mood to listen. Hew is after mass image even after his high profile mass oriented films like ‘Bezawada’ and ‘Dada’ bombed miserably at box office. He is currently testing his luck with ‘Auto Nagar Surya’ and ‘Bhale Tammudu’.

Many are wondering whether Chaitu will ever feel for his lack of Gauravam in the long run. Allu Sirish is making his debut with Gauravam after Chaitu walked out of the project. Yami Gautam is starring in the film produced by Prakash Raj on Duet Movies banner. The film is  touted to be a “family-entertainer”. Radha Mohan attracted all with films like Nagarjuna’s Gaganam and ‘Abhiyum Nanum’. Only time will tell about the reaction of Chaitu on gauravam.

Byreddy taking onTGV as Rayalaseema Rakshak?

While entire focus is on Chandra Babu’s much publicized 117day long pada yatra covering entire state, TDP leader Byreddy Rajasekhar Reddy kickstarted his own yaatra yesterday to show the self esteem of Rayalaseema region in the name of ‘Rayalaseema Atma Gowrava Yatra’. Whenever telananga movement reaches its peak leaders from rayalaseema region will be up in arms demanding separate state for the region in case of formation of telanangana. They say that they can not co exist with coastal Andhra people.
 
Byreddy the moment CBN sent a letter to PM Manmohan seeking an all party meet on Telangana, lashed out at him saying he has nothing to do with him and started going on his yatra. Even before that Byreddy planned to go on yatra. One wonder whether he has his own compulsions to do so. He is keen on fighting for his survival and is taking on Cong strong man from the region TG.Venkatesh. Byreddy attacked Babu for becoming Rayalaseema traitor even though hailing from the same region.
 
He took on people from coastal Andhra alleging that they were hellbent on robbing the natural resources of the region rather than recognizing the sacrifices made by the people of the region. He lashed out that right from british rule to CM Kiran’s rule everyone robbed rayalaseema and he wants separate state for the region.

CM Kiran pours cold water on KCR

While KCR and his TRS team is hoping hope against hope that Central Govt will come with some positive statement on Telangana after all the happenings in Delhi for the past one month, CM Kiran much to the surprise of all, ruled out Telananga formation stating division of state for political gains is not possible. This stunned all as Kiran can not dare to issue such statements with out the approval from high command. While national leaders from the party started giving subtle covert and overt signals on Telananga that the decision on it won’t be that easy, and with even Sonia Gandhi stating Telangana is not discussed in any of her meetings, Kiran sending this strong statement shows hardening of Cong stand vis a vis KCR and his party TRS.
 
This put paid to the hopes of KCR who was looking for some kind of face saving formula as he skipped telangana march sitting in Delhi. Already many are drawing daggers out with Vimalakka being in the fore front spitting venom on him saying lobbying and talks will not fetch telangana. Now it has to be seen how KCR will react to Kiran’s statements. Many are feeling this is jut another drama enacted by Cong and TRS and their love hate relationship continues till 2014.

CBN evades payment?

0

TDP  President Chandra Babu Naidu who is claiming honesty and innocence once again finds himself in a payment controversy. It will surely have impact on his 117 day padayatra which he started off in style yesterday. According to information Chandra Babu did not settle payment for the land he purchased for TDP party office in Srikakulam district for Rs 17.04 lakhs. Land owner’s repeated requests to TDP local leaders to settle his payment did not get him the desired results. So he decided to write a letter to Chandra Babu himself asking him for payment of dues worth Rs 17.04 lakhs with interest.
 
Controversy over non payment of the land came out in open last Sunday when party leaders decided to start party office at the same place when Babu comes to the place during his padayatra. The issue cropped up when party members passed a resolution to build new office for Rs 15 lakhs.  Land owner Chiranjeevulu is worried that if the leaders starts party office with out paying the dues, who will pay the amount for the past 10yrs. He even lashed out at Babu for writing his father’s name Sivanarayana as the land owner. He questioned who should be held responsible for all this controversy.
