Speaking about the top shot producers of the Tollywood circuit the name of Aswini Dutt stands tall. He has always been known for crazy combinations of star heroes and star directors. However, with his last few ventures (read ‘Shakti’) bombing like crazy Dutt has been lying low without making much noise.

However, it is now heard that he is all set to take the biggest gamble of his life. It is heard that if ‘Zanjeer’, the debut of Ram Charan in Bollywood, becomes a hit then the plan is that Dutt will remake ‘Indra’ in Hindi with Charan. However, buzz is that he would be changing the tone of the film slightly since Cherry is quite young.

Otherwise, sources say he wants to do the same movie with Salman Khan. And here is the gamble point. Currently, Aswini Dutt is going through a low phase. If he enters Bollywood with this big budget treat only two things will happen, either he will reach the top or his top will be gone. Let us see what happens.

Allari Naresh announced his transformation as Sudden Star of tollywood with his upcoming film ‘Sudigaadu’. Many wonder the reason behind his smiling secret. While many title their films with normal titles, Allari Naresh take special care in naming his films. All his films are named in a unique manner which attract laughter the moment one hear those names and that will be doubled when those titles are associated with Allari Naresh.

In that manner half the job of attracting movie lovers and general public’s response and their attention is achieved. If one notices his earlier films like Blade Babji, Betting Bangarraju, Seema Tapakai, Aha Na Pellanta, Katti Kanta Rao, Madata Kaja, Bendu Apparao, Seema Sastri evoke laughter. Same can be said about his latest and upcoming films starting with Sudigadu, Nelatakkuvodu, ‘Kevvu Keka’. This year Allari Naresh started off slowly and did only one project titled ‘Nuvva Nena’. However sudden realisation seems to have dawned on this ‘Sudden Star’ that he should do more films just like he had done earlier and started signing projects and is on prowl for new projects. Many may question as to what is there in name, but everything is there in name and an attractive name or title is the stepping stone to success.

Jr NTR is renowned for his superlative dialogue delivery and dashing dances. He spellbound all with his powerful performances in stunning and sensational hits ‘Student No 1’, ‘Aadi’ and ‘Simhadri’. His acts made tollywood sit up and take notice as all this happened when Mega Star Chiranjeevi used to be the undisputed Emperor of tollywood. Movie analysts and critics hailed him as the new no 1 of tollywood.

However his meteoric rise suddenly gave way to catostrophic crash with Andhra Wala turning out to be a disaster. It took some time to come out of this and Rakhi and Yama Donga changed all once again. But during that time tollywood has seen Mega Power Star Ram Charan’s Magadheera and just like all smitten by its enternal beauty, Tiger thought of rewriting the records beating Magadheera in its own turf, making similar sensational and more powerful film.

However his Shakti proved to be a disaster and at the same time Prince Mahesh suddenly picked up his snail pace and went on to show his ‘Dookudu’. He tried again to beat it at its own game turning ‘Oosaravelli’. However luck didnot favor him and when he tried to show his true power with powerful mass entertainer ‘Dammu’, people including his fans started doubting his ‘Dammu’. Now he is at crossroads trying to become ‘Baadshah’ of tollywood. Unless until he stamps his own style, people think all powerful Andhra Tiger is aping all in his quest for success.
