Telugudesam Copies Chiru's Mega Idea

Finally, Congress leaders has got a point to attack Naidu about this 100 seats allocation to BCs. They say that this idea is in fact formulated by Megastar Chiru long back and implemented successfully.

'Chiru has allotted 104 seats to BCs during 2009 election on behalf of Prajarajyam. He is the only person in AP state to do such a big favour to BC voters', says Endowments minister C Ramachandraiah. He felt that Naidu has now copied this mega-idea and is promoting that as if it is his own plan. 'It is really a big joke to hear TDP people demanding all other parties to give 100 seats to BCs. We have already done that long back', the minister stressed. He added that Naidu is doing these gimmicks to divert the attention of people from T-issue.

Whatever it is, granting 100 seats for BCs means not a sure shot win for TDP and Chiru's case is best example for that. We have to see how this copy idea works for Telgudesam then.

Chiru's Gunman kidnaps Businessman !

Rajya Sabha member Chiranjeevi's gunman Sitaramulu was arrested for allegedly kidnapping a businessman to extort hidden treasure from him. Along with him, three more cops of AP Special Police were taken into custody on charges of abducting and harassment.

On July 11, the accused cops and another six members abducted the victim (Koneru Krishna) from his house in Pitlam of Nizamabad district and brought him to Hyderabad. The accused came to know from a person that Krishna has found a hidden treasure in Pitlam forest and he hid the huge quantity of gold at a secret place.

After abducting Krishna, they harassed him for the details of the place where the valuables had been stored. Unable to bear the torture, Krishna told them that the gold was stored in his house itself. The accused took him back to his residence thinking that their plan has finally paid off, but they couldn't find anything there. Angered cops began harassing him again and the neighbors came to the rescue of Krishna after hearing his painful shouts.

Sitaramulu is a member of Chiranjeevi's security wing. All the accused cops were suspended and sent to judicial custody for remand.

Charan Splits Mega Fans Into Two Groups

Everyone is getting these doubts due to Young Megastar's continuous acts to woo both the senior fans of his Dad and the young generation that admires him. Is he trying to create split like Seniors and Juniors is the talk of town now.

Ramcharan still believes the idea that remixes of his dad's popular chart-busters will help him achieve maximum success. He has already remade songs like 'Bangaru Kodipetta' and 'Vaana Vaana'  from Chiru's mega hits Gharana Mogudu and Gangleader. He is now gearing up to remix 'Subalekha Raasukunna...' song from Kondaveeti Donga for his upcoming film.

Apparently, 40+ aged Mega fans will connect to these remixes well, as the younger generation doesn't know the exact impact of those old hits in the 80's. While Seniors compare the new song with old song and enjoy, Juniors feel it more directly and this is what we call splitting of Mega fans. Hardcore Mega fans are saying that they don't feel any such difference, as they are enjoying all the acts taken up by Charan with heart but not logic.

Sources revealed that this remix song will be filmed in Kolkata on Charan and Kajal for VV Vinayak's movie.  The original song is composed by maestro Ilairaja and this remix will be done by young music sensation Thaman.

'CGR' Nizam Rights by Geetha Films

Power Star Pawan Kalyan's 'cameraman gangatho rambabu' is being canned at a brisk pace now. Latest we heard is that the movie's Nizam rights have been bagged by Allu Aravind with an all time high price. Recently, Pawan Kalyan's 'Gabbar Singh' movie has collected more than Rs.20 crores share in this area and showed his stamina at the box office again. It is a known thing that Pawan Kalyan is considered an undisputed powerful star of Nizam area.    Milky beauty Tamannah is playing the role of 'Ganga', the cameraman of this movie. Senior music director Manisharma is composing the super tunes for this message oriented mass and satirical entertainer. Ace director Puri Jagannadh is directing this movie with a jet speed. The movie is produced by D.V.V.Danayya on the banner Universal Media. The movie is gearing up for release on 18th October.

'Eega' to Fill 'Magadheera' Deficit

Please do not interpret anything on your own, reading the above headline. We too know that ‘Magadheera’ from Ramcharan and Rajamouli was a stupendous hit and rewrote industry records in commercial terms. Although ‘Magadheera’ won many Awards, Mega Fans had an inner feeling that film was eligible to keep up a still better show if Allu Aravind lobbied more efficiently. For Rajamouli, there is every chance of ‘eega’ to fill the Awards deficit of ‘Magadheera.’ We are also aware of producer Daggubati Suresh Babu as an influential person who can manage and tilt the committees in our favor. Not to mention about Regional Categories, admirers of Rajamouli are asking to nominate ‘eega’ in National Categories to show the strength and advanced technology used in making of Telugu Cinema. Let us see, how far Suresh Babu takes this burden?

Chiranjeevi fingering Charan's dreams

Megastar Chiranjeevi may not have time to do films due to his busy schedule in politics, but he is making sure that he has ample time to 'build' his son's career. Chiranjeevi is focused on Ram Charan's future as he doesn't want his son to slip away by delivering flops. He knows that continuous stream of success only makes a hero to reach the top.

With so much competition running between the current set of heroes for the number one seat, Megastar desperately wants his son to occupy the throne that he had left empty. Chiranjeevi with all his experience is giving inputs to Charan's films be it Telugu or Hindi. Charan's dream project Zanjeer now gets mega touch as Chiranjeevi advised to rope in a Telugu director to supervise the Telugu version shoot. Director Apoorva Lakhia and other crew members don't know a bit of Telugu and hence Chiranjeevi asked Yogi (Oka Raju Oka Rani, Chintakayala Ravi director) to do the job.

We don't know if this is a right move, but looking at Yogi's track record one would certainly raise doubts over Chiru's choice. Saying so, Chiranjeevi was the pillar for Racha success. His inputs and constant supervision over the film has made it a commercial hit. Chiranjeevi spent many nights to see that the final edit of Racha is satisfactory. Who knows, he might be right for Zanjeer as well. 

Julayi Satellite Rights Shocked All

The satellite rights of the film Julayi are bagged by MAA TV at Rs 5.7 Cr. This is the highest price in recent times in Tollywood.

This shows the unchallenged craze for the movie. The movie was earlier planned to release in July but not its hitting screens in August.

Allu Arjun and Ileana are the main leads in the movie while Trivikram Srinivas directed it.

Chaithoo's Tit for Tat on Mega Heroes!

young hero naga chaitanya was approached by the director Radha Mohan some days ago. The director narrated a story to Chaithoo. The title of the story was 'Gouravam'. However, Naga Chaitanya showed no interest on the movie. Later, the director presented the same story to Allu Sirish, the younger issue of Allu Aravind. The young man, who was eagerly looking for a good story to make his debut in tollywood, has accepted to do this movie immediately. Thus, Naga Chaitanya's story has gone to the kitty of Allu Sirish.

Veeroo Potla, the director of the successful movie 'Bindaas' approached Power Star Pawan Kalyan some months ago and narrated a story to him. Pawan Kalyan liked the story but couldn't allot the dates for the movie. Having understood the movie couldn't materialize in near future, Veeru Potla narrated the same story to Naga Chaitanya. This time, Chaithoo didn't make any mistake and has accepted immediately to do the movie. Finally, it appears to be an unexpected tit for tat from Naga Chaitanya to mega heroes.

Better Prabhas Kick them Out

Many could have never expected that a fun loving and simple living prabhas would bury neck deep in problems accepting projects with director Lawrence and debutant Koratala Siva. Yes, nothing seems to be going positive for ‘Rebel’ and ‘Varadhi’ (tentative tile) as latest updates coming about these flicks are pathetic enough and prabhas Fans would definitely need some one to console. Due to several reasons from replacement of heroine to cinematographer, Lawrence has shown enough of ‘Paithyam’ in killing the patience of prabhas. On the other side debutant Koratala Siva’s emotional storyline with no big hype is also traveling at snail pace. Fresh rumors in market are disappointing because till next two to three months, there is no way we can have a show from prabhas. His Fans are suggesting a better option of kicking both these ventures out without wasting any more time because rarely in history we have seen such long pending projects come out as winners at BO.

Can Balayya win Magical Openings?

As per the ruling formula of Tollywood, whatever the collections recorded in opening first week will decide the ultimate result of a film. Applying the same logic, the high budgeted ‘Uu Kodathara Ulikki Padathara’ will have to rely more on the image of balakrishna rather than Manchu Manoj or Deeksha Seth or Manchu Lakshmi. A simple analysis on market stamina of Manoj compared to the budget invested on this flick, surely there will be a big imbalance which has to be corrected and collected only in the name of Balayya. However, there is also a different version from trade sources. ‘In fact, Balayya’s potential as a magical opener has gone for a severe beating when ‘Parama Veera Chakra, Adhinayakudu’ did not even record 75% of house full collections on first day. ‘Sri Rama Rajyam’ picked up only after positive mouth talk in overseas and domestic market. Going by these calculations, makers of ‘UKUP’ should peg up the promotion else face the humiliation later on,’ said an analyst.

Heart Attack for 'Billa 2' Distributor

Film Distribution is one of the riskiest Businesses and men only with athletic mindset should enter into it. One film is enough to change the fortunes and this will happen overnight. We have seen numerous instances when producers and distributors asserted to suicide attempts in a momentary frustration when their films bombed at BO. Now, we hear of one more case and the man happens to be a distributor of Ajith’s new flick ‘billa 2’ released as ‘David Billa’ in Telugu. As per the reports, a distributor who brought the Malayalam rights of ‘Billa’ suffered a major heart attack and is rushed to near by hospital. The man in subject was known tobe very tensed ever since the market is flushed with mixed reviews for ‘billa 2.’ After hearing the Sunday collection reports, he faced cardiac arrest and is critically ill now. Yes, ‘billa 2’ isn’t faring up to the expected levels.

Remove YSR Cut-Outs In Your House : VH

Senior congress leader and firebrand politician V Hanumantha Rao has once again fired on the party leadership in the state. He stresses how the party is losing sheen due to pro-YSR leaders and policies.

'To continue the presence of Congress in state, we should forget YSR immediately. This should be started from Kiran's home first', VH asserts. 'Once we enter Kiran's home, we can see a big cut-out of YSR on the right side. He should first remove that', he said. He feels that CM should educate cadres about the welfare schemes launched by the party rather than telling it straight to people. 'People will forget all the stuff stated by CM in his meetings. Only ground level cadres will remember that and can convey it to people all the time', the Congress veteran feels.

If Congress distances from YSR completely, YSR-Congress will get more advantage than what they are having now. Maybe it is this logic that is stopping Kiran to remove that cut-out.

Proved! YSR-C Is Anti-Telangana Party

TRS MP Vinod has fired on Jagan's party for giving support to Pranab Mukherjee in the presidential election. They say that Vijayamma is no way concerned about anyone else in the state except her son.

Earlier YSR-C has declared that they are extending support to UPA candidates Pranab and Ansari for President and Vice-President posts. Nellore MP Mekapati has issued a press-note on Jagan's name clearing the party stand in prez-polls. However, TRS is not able to digest this decision of Jagan and is making severe accusations now. 'Only for the sake of Jagan's bail, Vijayamma has joined hands with UPA to vote for staunch Telangana opponent, Pranab Mukherjee. This clearly proves that YSR-C is an anti Telangana party and people should teach them a lesson again like in Parkal', stressed TRS MP Vinod.

When YSR-C is telling clearly that they have opted for Pranab, as they have only two people as options, TRS' words are not sounding true.

Charan Goes Sentimental With Chiru's House

Off course, Megastar Chiru and Megapower star Ramcharan resides in the same house in Jubilee Hills. But we are talking about the on-screen house of Chiru that made Charan a bit sentimental.

Right now, Charan has moved to Kolkata to shoot for his upcoming movie in the direction of VV Vinayak. Sources from the unit revealed that Charan has requested the director to shoot in the locations where Mega blockbuster 'Choodalani Vundi' is filmed. They say that Charan became nostalgic with Kolkata as mega-movies like Kushi and Panjaa are shot there. However, the exterior of the apartment that is used in that Gunasekhar's movie struck a bit of sentiment for Charan. Director Vinayak is opting to film a fight sequence in that location, the source added.

When you're trying to score hits, getting sentimental is a standard practice in Tollywood. We have to see how this film works for Charan to put him on the top seat.

Music Director Unhappy With Telugudesam

One popular music director of Telugu industry is quite unhappy with the recent decisions of Telugudesam party. Though many celebrities are unhappy he is the first to come out, at least with an indirect comment.

Once upon a time celebrated and now struggling celebrity, RP Patnaik is questioning the use of political party that is not voting in Presidential election. 'When a responsible political party stays away from voting for the presidential election, does that party has right to ask for votes from public?' asks RP.

Frankly speaking, political parties are representing the public in Presidential election and refraining from voting means, not allowing that public to choose their President. These comments are aimed at none but TDP, as they are the only party in state biting nails and voting to no one.

Political observers say that TDP is losing its sheen day by day by these extreme decisions. But Telugudesam folks are supporting their decision by saying that they are upholding the faith of people as none of the presidential candidates are suitable for welfare of people.

Meher Ramesh Saved By Star-Writer

The name itself is sending shivers down the spines of producers. Though he bags continuous projects, the success rate and commercial recovery of them is very low. But here comes good news for his producers.

Meher Ramesh's latest movie is 'Shadow' with family hero Venkatesh in the lead. This film is getting saved in terms of money irrespective of its commercial success, it seems. Thanks to writer Kona Venkat who wrote this latest 'Shadow' for Meher Ramesh. In fact this star writer made Bollywood superstar Salman Khan to buy the Hindi remake rights, if reports are to be believed. The makers can recover almost half of the project's budget through this way, as Salman generally sheds lot of money.

Meher Ramesh is desperate for a proper commercial hit to prove that he is a talented maker. All these money makings don't come under his talent, feels Cine Lovers. 

No Allu Aravind! No Item Song!!

Here comes the latest report about Allu Arjun's much awaited flick of the season. The unit members are thinking to put a full stop to Allu Aravind rumour and item song news now.

From a couple of weeks, industry is abuzz that 'Julayi' is not coming on time due to two reasons. One is that Allu Aravind has not liked particular scenes from the movie and asked for a re-shoot. Second one is that the producers are trying to incorporate an item song with hot anchor Udayabhanu dancing to the tunes. However, a unit member reveals that no such things are happening as of now. 'We have shot just a promotional song and that's it. There is no need of item song and there is no Allu Aravind involvement too', the source confirmed.

With 'Eega' buzzing like a dragon, all these movies have taken a backseat. If there is any slight mismatch of expectations now, there is no other option for these movies than biting dust. Let us see what will this 'Julayi' do!

'Cocktail' Telugu Remake?

Remakes and dubbings of films have been on the rise across Indian cinema and a lot is going from the south to the north and vice-versa. Now, it is heard that a recent Bollywood release has come into the Tollywood radar and this is likely to be remade for the Telugu audience.

We are talking about the movie ‘Cocktail’ starring Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone and Diana Penty. The story revolves around a love triangle of sorts and this has raised some interest in filmnagar. It is heard that Bellamkonda Suresh is planning to buy the rights of the film and has sent his team to Mumbai for talks.

If that is working then chances are high that Siddharth, Nithya Menon and Ileana would be roped in for the project. Sources say the script will also be tweaked a bit to suit the nativity of the Telugu audience though it would be an urban entertainer. Let us wait for the official confirmation on this folks

Manchu Lakshmi Gives Relief To Puri Camp

Finally, there is good news for this top director who has forgotten the fact that his product is pending for a release. The news is from Manchu Lakshmi who is all ready to send jitters down the spines of Tollywood with her latest flick.

Due to the non-availability of theatres and 'Eega' effect on audiences, many films have postponed their releases. Among them 'Devudu Chesina Manushulu', 'Julayi' and 'Uh Kodathara Ulikki Padathara' are the biggies. However, UKUP and DCM have decided to come on Aug 2nd and 3rd respectively. To give some breather to Puri Jagan, Manchu Lakshmi has now shifted the release date. Surprisingly she has advanced the release date by a week and the movie is going to hit the marquee on 27th July.

Though DCM is Puri Jagan's venture, Raviteja's poor form and Raghu Kunche's average music haven't created much hype for this flick. On the other hand, Balayya's special role and Manoj's dangerous looks have raised expectations on UKUP. The gap in released dates is nothing but a big relief to Puri camp!

'When I Asked Ministry, None Saw My Face'

Our Chief Minister is becoming more and more philosophical these days and is trying to connect luck factor to every happening. Currently touring in East Godavari as part of 'Indiramma Baata', he is giving 'upadesams' to cadres in this way.

'When I asked for a minister post, no one has seen my face. Later they made me a speaker and whip, though I didn't ask them. Now they made me a Chief Minister too', asserted Kiran Kumar Reddy. He feels that when we think about posts, they will move more far from us. 'If you work without any expectations, then high-command will always give you posts', explained Kiran to cadres. 'If there is a bit of luck on our side, everything will fall in place', he added. It is an uneasy moment for cadres listening to this as they cannot give a response to these words of Kiran. However, everyone laughed and clapped as the person talking is Chief Minister of state.

Looks like, Kiran got complete confidence now that he will be the CM of this state till 2014 and started talking sharply about everything, says an observer. 

TDP MLA gives shock to Jagan

Nuziveedu MLA Chinnam Ramakotaiah will soon resign from Telugu Desam and join the ruling Congress. Surprisingly, this move is a big shock for YSR Congress, not TDP. This disgruntled MLA has been criticizing the TDP leadership for sometime now and the party too had come to a conclusion that he would quit someday.

Chinnam who is in talks with YSR Congress party since few months asked Jagan to accept his conditions before joining YSRC. However, Yuva Neta didn't accept them and instead kept the MLA waiting for months thinking that he would join his party anyway.

In a shocking development, Chinnam announced on Sunday that he would be joining Congress soon and also openly expressed his support to UPA presidential candidate Pranab Mukherjee. By loosing Chinnam, YSRC missed a chance to increase its MLAs count by one. Jagan's loss is Congress gain!

Pawan Rejects & Naga Chaitanya Accepts

Directors usually wait for years and years together to impress pawan kalyan with their scripts. One such man who could have got lucky very early would have been director Veeru Potla, if his project with Power Star has got materialized. There was high buzz few months ago during the times of shooting of ‘Panjaa’ that Veeru met Pawan personally and got the nod from Star to take the project forward. None knows what happened exactly to that particular update and now the sources confirm of Pawan having well left this script saying a no for now to Veeru Potla. However, this director has got good reputation in Akkineni camp with ‘Ragada’ succeeded in transferring the same story to young hero Naga Chaitanya. It might be again Shivaprasad Reddy of Kamakshi Arts who would producer this project.

Re - Shoots to 'Julaayi'?

stylish star allu arjun's 'Julaayi', was earlier supposed to release on 13th July, has been postponed to 9th August. It was expected that the makers were feared of Rajamouli's super hit movie 'Eega', as the movie is doing extremely good business at the box office.  However, as per the latest grapevine, it is known that Allu Aravidnd is heard to have not satisfied with some of the scenes of 'Julaayi' and has asked the film unit to re-shoot those scenes.Also, an item song is expected to incorporate in the movie. We still have know whether this gossip is true or not. Incidentally, 'Eega' has also undergone many re-shoots before its release.  Sizzling beauty Ileana is doing opposite to Allu Arjun in 'Julaayi'. Devi Sri Prasad is composing the music of the movie. The movie is being  directed by Trivikram and is produced by Radhakrishna under Harika and Hassine Creations.
