Cherry throws challenge to NTR!

With in few days after Junior NTR’s producer Bandla Ganesh Babu announcing the release date of his ‘Baadshah’ as January 11 that is for Sankranti, now we have Mega Power Star too getting himself ready to enter into battle field with ‘Nayak.’ Although unofficial, we are reported that ‘Nayak’ directed by VV Vinayak will also be one of the tough contenders in Pongal race.  Of course, it is too early to estimate the strengths of ‘Baadshah’ and ‘Nayak’ which are purely based on machismo of these two young heroes. However, when seen from director’s point of view, Vinayak is surely on back foot compared to Srinu Vytla’s winning spirits of ‘Dookudu.’ So, the first two positions for Sankranti are full. Now, it is time for other heroes to announce their release dates. This is the most favorable period for which producers wait throughout the year.

Two More Mega Celebrations Coming

Entire Telugu Cinema Industry and general cinema lovers too are in praise of Mega family for offering superb hits at a crucial time when Tollywood was going through a slump. 2012, a year known for End of the World has in fact ended our Tollywood’s declining phase with three big hits coming from one Mega family. Well, ‘Rachcha’ of ramcharan followed by Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Gabbar Singh’ and Allu Arjun’s ‘Julaayi’ are the three which everyone has unanimously agreed to be big hits. Not to stop here, the coming year ahead also looks promising because ramcharan, VV Vinayak’s combination ‘Nayak’ and Pawan Kalyan, Puri Jagannath’s ‘Cameraman Ganag Tho Ram Babu’ are gathering positive talk. So, there are two more Mega Celebrations to join the list and moods of Mega Fans can go still high cheering their heroes.

Ram Charan gets into Pawan's shoes

Ram Charan has successfully imitated Chiranjeevi in Racha and that has worked wonders for him. Even though others commented that he doesn't have any original flavor, fans are happy that he could pull off a mass film in Chiru style. Charan is going to throw them another surprise in Nayak.

If the buzz is to be believed, Ram Charan will be imitating Pawan Kalyan in few scenes. Vinayak, who likes Pawan's style, asked Charan to do them in that style as fans would love it. Pawan has a typical style of dialog delivery and Charan too loves to act in his Babai's style which is one of the main reasons that made him the darling of youth.

Nayak is an out and out commercial entertainer with high tones of action and comedy. Vinayak's previous film Badrinath didn't do well and he is looking forward to strike back with a bang. Vinayak's movies are always lapped up by masses and Nayak too is targeted at them. As per the sources this is going to be another commercial mass masala fare for fans.

Ramcharan competing with Pawan

When Mahesh Babu delivered a hit like ‘Dookudu,’ there were speculations on how the handsome hero raised his remuneration to all time high for ‘Businessman’ and following projects. In the same way, Pawan Kalyan who is always believed by makers for safe BO adventures irrespective of movie result is also known to have hiked his pay cheque post the success of ‘Gabbar Singh.’ Of course, the final figures aren’t clearly known, it is still heard that Abbai ramcharan is also competing with Babai Pawan in this aspect. Perhaps, Cherry neither had a solid hit prior to ‘Rachcha’ (after ‘Magadheera’) and even his following is mostly inherited from dad unlike Pawan Kalyan developed his own stature. As per the information from confidential film circles, Cherry’s fee for each film is almost with in the equal range of Pawan Kalyan. Yet producers like Aswini Dutt and others are still in the queue.

Caption of Cherry's 'Nayak' Title

A fews days ago, we exclusively reported to our viewers that Mega Power Star Ram charan and V.V.Vinayak's new movie's title had been confirmed as 'nayak'. Here is the latest update regarding the title of the movie. As per the info, the title has been captioned as 'The Leader'. So, it is going to be a double treat for Cherry's fans as the title and its caption also appear to be very powerful.  Voluptuous beauty Kajal Aggarwal is doing the female lead of the movie. Sexy Amala Paul is the second heroine. Thaman is scoring the music for this mass masala entertainer. V.V.Vinayak is directing this film. The movie is being produced by D.V.V.Danayya under Universal Media. The movie is slated for Pongal, 2013 release.

When will 'Magadheera' Records Break?

One might have seen Pawan Kalyan’s stamina with ‘Gabbar Singh’ or Mahesh Babu’s capacity with ‘Dookudu’ or SS Rajamouli’s vision with ‘Eega’ but not even one of them touched the records of ‘Magadheera’ which stood high and unreachable. Thanks to that Charan and Rajamouli’s combo flick which was filled with too many ‘Wow’ factors. There were quite a number of good hits witnessed on Telugu screen post ‘Magadheera,’ unfortunately the said ‘Wow’ factors were missing in all of them. As per the buzz from inner sources, Rajamouli is determined to break his own records this time in combination with prabhas. Yes, Jakkanna is eager to start the shoot of high budgeted flick with prabhas which will go on sets by this year end. In order to make sure that ‘Magadheera’ will be pushed to second place, Rajamouli is heard of taking enough care to bring the new commercial face in Rebel Star. While the trade of other young heroes like Mahesh, Charan and Tarak is multiplied by number of times in recent years, caliber of prabhas alone is untapped till now. Given the right story line and required number of punching action scenes, prabhas and Rajamouli can beat ‘Magadheera’ easily and that time could be only in 2013 or 14.

'Racha' was The Answer for 'Magadheera'

Comparisons between ‘Magadheera’ and ‘Eega’ or contributions of Rajamouli and ramcharan to the industry records of ‘Magadheera’ have already got a solid answer only if Sampat Nandi and ‘Racha’ are taken as a case study. Yes, ramcharan is obviously a Born Mega Star with duty allocated to take the Mega Legacy forward. Ever since Chiranjeevi missed cinema field, Fans started to feel the same Mega Pride in both Charan and Pawan. So, ‘Magadheera’ might be a directorial wonder from Rajamouli but it’s the Star Power of ramcharan which took movie to the Everest Peak of Success. If ‘Magadheera’ was to be credited into Rajamouli account, surely ‘Racha’ will question against it? By the time ‘Magadheera’ was made, Rajamouli has a solid following similar to the craze what we have seen yesterday for ‘Eega.’ Yes, Rajamouli is a brand but director Sampat Nandi did not possess any such value before making of ‘Racha’ which actually stood in top 3 industry records and that too at a time when ramcharan’s career was questioned with a dropped ‘Merupu’ and a flop ‘Orange.’ So, the answer is there within. A director’s duty ends only with making the product readied for release. Then, it’s the Star Stamina of Hero which rules the judgment. Experimental Projects might have to rely on a Director's Name and Fame but Mass Commercial Movies always stand upon a Hero's Craze and Following.

Charan has no time for Daddy!!

There is a big hurdle to cross, if Chiranjeevi Fans all over the World are to hear any happy news on the milestone 150th project. Every time when Mega Star appears before public for a Political or Personal meeting, the first question from media and Fans would be about the status of 150th film. Meanwhile, we hear of ramcharan cannot give the prestigious chance of producing this venture to any other makers and he wants to take the credit for his own. Now days, both father and son have become busy with their own professions. While Chiranjeevi is a Rajya Sabha with a set of prescribed duties for uplifting the position of Congress in State and Centre, ramcharan is also occupied doing three projects at once. This made the story and script discussions of 150th project almost to a halt. So, one can expect good news only when Cherry finds some time for his dad.

Mahesh And Charan Don't Have It

Many thought that this year both Mahesh and Charan will come with two movies. Both planned with the same target and started their films. With ‘Businessman’ arriving in January Mahesh fans were sure that one more film is compulsory from Mahesh this year. ‘Seetamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu’ is arriving on September 28th was the announcement.

But shooting is yet to be completed. Industry sources say the film will not be ready for October too. If October passes then good season for reason is only Sankranthi according to producer Dil Raju. Being a multi-starrer and that too a family treat, he is reportedly feeling that January is the right time.

Similarly, Charan who planned to wrap up Vinayak’s movie and release it by Dussehra could not spare time. Working in three films simultaneously, Charan is unable to cater full time to any of them. So this movie has been removed from October race and is now looking at Sankranthi, as per sources. End result is, both Mahesh and Charan will not have one more movie this year and they have completed 2012 with one hit each.

Mega Demand in Maharashtra

Telugu Films have crossed the National boundaries faring extra ordinary at Box Office in overseas markets. However, here is a special request from one of our regular readers in Maharashtra explaining about the pity situation of Telugu Mega Fans in chandrapur district where Telugu films aren’t releasing these days. Though, commercials behind is unknown but the reader has provided enough clues on how movies all the way from ‘Gudumba Shankar’ till ‘Magadheera’ performed at Maharashtra BO. ‘After ‘Magadheera,’ there are no releases of Telugu films in chandrapur district. Chiranjeevi, Ramcharan, Pawan Kalyan have special craze and other heroes too possessed good market here. Our request to Telugu cinema Producers is to plan their new  releases in chandrapur district, Pune and some more areas of Mumbai too. We are crying here to enjoy Telugu movies on big screen. Please entertain us,’ writes Sai Charan Devarakonda from chandrapur district.

Mega Family on a National Mission

The only way to expand profits in film business is to gain as much as possible or the maximum market available. Telugu cinema some time ago was constrained only to Andhra Pradesh and few centers of remaining neighborhood states. But now, we are seeing a gigantic growth in film trade with Digital Prints crossing the oceans. In the same way, this is also the right time for regional cinema to expand the roots into National arena. Rightly, Mega family seems to be taking the lead in this standing as a front runner. Yes, we know that Chiranjeevi was one of the first heroes not only to raise the commercial bar of Telugu films but also to step into Bollywood doing hit projects like ‘Pratibandh’ and ‘Aaj Ka Goondaraj.’ Now, Pawan is traveling in the same line and is all set to rock Mumbai with a high budget flick under the production house of Konda Krishnam Raju. On the other side, ramcharan is already in Mumbai with ‘Zanjeer’ and of course proven his market in Tamil. Perhaps, Allu Arjun is considered a top star in Malayalam as his movies easily cross 1 Crore business. The newly coming Allu Sirish has also jointly targeted the Kolly and Tolly BO with ‘Gauravam.’ Do we require any more proofs to convince the expanding roots of Mega Family? They are on a mission to prove ‘Telugodi’ Stamina at higher levels and let us wish that they will be victorious. Coincidentally, Chiru's trials of entry into Central Cabinet can also be regarded as a part of this mission

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.

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.

Ram charan VV Vinayak film updates

Mega Power Star Ram Charan is currently busy with his forthcoming yet-to-be titled film in the direction of VV Vinayak is all set to fly to Kolkata for a new schedule will commence from 20^thJuly.

The film was earlier shot in Hyderabad and Dubai and a couple of songs were canned in Dubai locales. Ram Charan is pairing up with Kajal Agarwal and Amala Paul in the film.

DVV Danayya is producing the movie on Universal Media banner while Thaman score the tunes. On the other hand Cherry has recently shot for his Hindi film Zanjeer in Bangkok.

Ram Charan's Rachaa crossed century runs @ 38 center

Ram Charan’s Rachaa movie now completed its century. Recently on July 12 the movie makers of Rachaa announcing the 100 days run of Ram Charan's flick in the state, the makers of the film held a press conference.

The movie makers sharing their happiness over their achievement, they thanked the audience for making the film a huge success and the artistes in the film for their support. Ram Charan thanked by N.V. Prasad and Paruchuri Brothers for his stellar performance and showered praises the directional skills on Sampath Nandi.

On the 100 day function the movie makers said that the event will be organised depending on Ram Charan's availability. Racha has successfully completed 100 days run in 5 direct centers and a total of 38 centers if the shifts are included

Priyanka Chopra Sings a Song For Zanzeer

Debut of Ramcharan in Bollywood has made ‘zanjeer’ a special project. Now, one more attraction is going to be added for the flick which makes it much more special. Yes, we hear that heroine Priyanka Chopra is going to sing a song for this movie. We do know of PC working very hard to make her debut International music album released with in very few weeks. At this juncture, director Apoorva Lakhia has zeroed upon Piggy Chops even to croon for ‘zanjeer’ and the sexy lady has accepted it. However, Apoorva has enough time till October to start his work on ‘zanjeer’ as Ramcharan is quite busy with regional commitments. By then, Priyanka will definitely release the music album. Sources say, the song in ‘zanjeer’ will be something tailored specially for her voice. Let us wish, a very all the best for this hot heroine to succeed in her new endeavors as a playback singer.

Ram Charan's BMW X Series To Director

Top league heroes have an image and there is a certain class which they always maintain. And whenever an opportunity comes they show it to ensure that this level is maintained. This is something mega powerstar Ram Charan seems to know very well.

The reason we say this is after hearing this incident. It is heard that when director Sampath Nandi was roped in for 'Racha' a token amount was given as advance and balance remuneration was promised depending on the outcome of the movie. The film became a major hit and this is what Charan did.

It is heard that out of the promised remuneration, one half of it was given in cash and the other half presented in the form of a BMW X series car. Usually if money is given it is not remembered for long but Charan has reportedly ensured that Sampath Nandi remembers the gesture forever. This is stylish!!

Both Cherry n Rajamouli are the Winners

The time when 'Magadheera' was released, an interesting discussion went on about the credit for the success of the movie. Some of the cine folks claimed that complete credit should be given to Rajamouli for having made such a masterpiece to tollywood. And ram charan had nothing do with the movie. If any hero acted in the place of  ram charan , the movie would have tasted the same result. In contrast, some more movie goers said that ram charan sure to get much credit for the movie's success as Rajamouli had never had given such an industry hit to tollywood. On the other hand, some more people felt that the movie's success was the collective effort of entire cast and crew of the movie.  Interestingly, it appeared that both ram charan and Rajamouli had taken the above matter seriously. ram charanwould have thought he could give a blockbuster even with an 'unceeded' director and he acted in the direction of  Sampath Nandi for the movie 'Rachcha'. The movie turned out to be the third biggest hit of tollywood. Thus, he proved he would sure to claim the some part of  the share of  the success of the movie 'Magadheera'. In response to ram charan's act, Rajamouli wanted to prove he would not only give blockbusters to star heroes like ram charan, but also, could give a blockbuster with an insect like 'Eega' as the protagonist in his film. Subsequently, his latest movie 'Eega' was released recently and had turned out to be one of the blockbusters of this year. Having observed the moves of both the hero and the director, many analysts are saying that both ram charan and Rajamouli are the winners of this interesting battle.

What is ‘Rachcha’ Final Position?

Ramcharan’s ‘rachcha’ in the direction of Sampat Nandi with Tamanna as heroine is declared a blockbuster in the very first week after release. Mega Power Star has yet again showed his BO potentiality with a relatively new director and audience too loved the movie. As movie has completed the successful 100 days run, here are the transparent collection reports received from close sources of ‘rachcha.’

‘rachcha’ Closing Share – Rs.48.38 Crores

‘Ragalai’ Closing Share – Rs.4.96 Crores (Tamil)

‘Rakshak’ Closing Share – Rs.1 Crore (Malayalam)

Audio Rights – Rs.0.90 Crore

Satellite Rights – Rs.6.15 Crores

Total Share – Rs.61.34 Crores

This makes ‘rachcha’ as the third biggest entertainer in entire Tollywood. For now, the top and third positions are occupied by Cherry with ‘Magadheera’ and ‘rachcha’ respectively. That’s the final position of ‘rachcha’ for you folks…!

Ram Charan's Effect on another Girl

Looks like Ram Charan has been showing great influence on the girls that are teaming up with him. Charan is making Bollywood debut with Zanjeer and he has his own thoughts about acting in a Hindi film. When few heroes restrict themselves to regional films, Charan says that expansion of an actor's market is the need of the hour.

Tamanna, who was not at all interested in Bollywood films few months ago, is all set to make her Hindi debut soon. She has changed her stand only due to Ram Charan's advice. She decided to try her luck in Bollywood immediately after Racha and in the process she opted out of Mahesh, Sukumar's film!

Now another actress seems to have been inspired by Ram Charan and is making valiant efforts to get a break in Bollywood. She is none other than Amala Paul, who is currently acting with Charan in Vinayak's film. Amala is yet to make a mark in Telugu cinema, but she is keen on signing up Bollywood projects too. Don't be surprised if Samantha too starts hunting for Bolly movies after she enters the sets of Yevadu
