Story:
The  dubbed telugu movie Sega  is casted by Nani and nithya menon in lead  role with   Bindhu Madhavi and others.Movie Starts with very intresting titles and background score  Opening scene is shocking action  by Nithya Menon. The film is being made with story based on Chennai  like Bollywood  film ‘Slumdog Millionaire’.

The story of the  movie  revolves around five characters in slum and the events surrounding their lives that took place Chennai.Karthik(nani) is a middle class college going student whose ideology is as same with revathi (nithya menon) who works in Xerox center. They Dream  to become  Millonaires .In the time being Three friend are  joined them  to get their  dreams comes true. Is their Dreams fulfilled
or not that we have to watch on  SilverScreen.

songs before interval  is a nice duet between Nani & Nithya Menon and Shocking twists before interval.Vani (Bindhu Madhavi) acts as a prostitute New love track between Vani and Karthik’s friend Vishnu. Romantic love making scenes between the two.

Anylasys:

Very slow screenplay and director is attempting to tie all the loose ends together.Movie is based on a dark backdrop of drugs, prostitution and vice…All principle characters established.
SEGA is incredibly happy at the overwhelmingly positive response.Nani and Nitya proved to be a hit pair in Ala Modalaindi and the first look of ‘Sega’ in Tamil won rave reviews. We are yet to see if the film will evoke good response at the box office here too.

Length no problem, Satisfaction important : Shazahn Padamsee

Ram Charan heroine in Orange is Shazahn Padamsee. Length of her role in movie doesn’t bother her, satisfaction must. “What matters for me is, how crucial my role is and what I can contribute to the film but not length. Whichever film I do, I would like to stand out in the film. Few Item Songs were choreographed wonderfully in past. But, I think I am too young to do them. Rather than doing Item Numbers, I would like to portray good roles in quality films” says Shazahn -MM

Chiranjeevi is now Charanjeevi

If looks could kill: Going by the stunning looks of Megastar Chiranjeevi at the 'Prematho Mee Lakshmi' talk show with Manchu Lakshmi Prasanna, it would not be an understatement to say that Chiru is competing with Charan – in terms of personality and fine-looking. Sporting a blue pyjama and while top, Chiranjeevi looks stylish, handsome and looks like 'Charan'jeevi.

The mega star looked like he lost oodles of weight, looked charming and rough at the same time sporting a thin beard too. Does this gives any indications of Chiru coming back into movies for his 150th movie? While it is premature to comment, Chiranjeevi himself said that pressure, untimely meals and carelessness were the factors that lead to increase in weight.

Budda Hoga Tera Baap. movie enters Oscar Academy

The script of Amitabh Bachchan's latest release "bbuddah...Hoga Tera Baap" has been invited to be archived in the library of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, says the 68-year-old megastar.

He revisited his 'angry young man' avatar for the film, and wore bright and over-the-top clothes for it. The movie also featured Hema Malini, Raveena Tandon, Sonu Sood and Sonal Chauhan.

Suhasini to be Pawan’s mom

Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Gabbar Singh’ which is a remake of Salman Khan’s ‘Dabangg’ is taking shape under the direction of Harish Shankar. We are aware that Shruti Haasan is playing the female lead role in this film. The latest we hear is that Suhasini Maniratnam, the renowned actress, will also be a part of the film. As per the Film Nagar sources she is going to play the mother of Pawan Kalyan. Ganesh Babu is producing the film under Parameshwara Arts banner with music by Devisri Prasad.

Singham Weekend Collections

'Singham' has opened to a great response at the box office and is now the second biggest grosser of the year afterReady. The collections were super-strong throughout the weekend at single screen theatres, but the multiplex business was slightly on the lower side.

Singham First Weekend Collections

• Friday – 8.5 crores
• Saturday – 9.5 crores
• Sunday – 12 crores
• Weekend Total – 30 crores

Better collections at single screens means the distributors share is higher, so the DS for Singham is around 16 crores for the weekend.

Singham has also fetched around 23 crores in Satellite Rights. So overall, even if it drops drastically during it weekdays, the investment has already been recovered. Just how big a HIT it goes on to be, remains to be seen.

Fifth success for Ajay Devgan in the last two years which includes 3 huge box office grossers – Once Upon A Time In Mumbai, Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge, Dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji, Rajneeti and Golmaal 3.

Young Hero Nani's One-Crore Dreams

Few successes will definitely make any actor to think on a larger perspective, but not this big. We are talking about quickly succeeded young hero Nani and his one-crore dreams. Buzz in Film Nagar is that Nani is shocking the producers approaching him by quoting huge remuneration. The quoted amount is around one crore, which is very high for a hero of his stature. The young hero used to demand some where around 20 lakhs during the release of 'Ala Modalaindi'. After getting booked in SS Rajamouli’s 'Eega', Nani increased his remuneration to 50 lakhs. When his 'Ala Modalaindi' met with a stunning victory, he had raised it further. Film analysts are saying that Nani is looking more like a hero who comes up very fast before falling down much faster. A top producer stated that the success of his upcoming 'Sega' will define his position in the industry as a hit-flop graph will always topple the remuneration.
