Venkatesh voice over for Rajamouli Eega


Labels: Rajamouli, , Venkatesh
Rajamouli’s experimental commercial film Eega is fast approaching the finish mark. This film will be ready for release by next summer as it will involve so much graphics work. Meanwhile Rajamouli is adding extra attractions for this movie.

The latest addition to Eega is Venaktesh! The superstar will give voice over for this film. Samantha, Nani and Sudeep are playing lead roles in this film which has a graphically created Housefly (eega) as the principal character.
 Suresh Babu is presenting this film and hence he roped in his brother to add the star attraction for this movie. Eega started off as a medium budget film but the estimated amount has been almost doubled now says the buzz. Once again Rajamouli has to show how big his brand name can sell to make this film a commercial hit.

Naga Chaitanya Macho Look


Labels: Naga Chaitanya,
Nagarjuna's son Naga Chaitanya has some features of his handsome dad but he totally didn't inherit his charm and good looks. Chaitanya is an average looking hero with an average built. Although he is twenty five years old, he looks much younger. He looks like an intermediate student and therefore action scenes and heavy dialogs don't suit him.

We have seen him turning a laughing stock in Dhada where he did a larger than life role. With all the negative feedback, Naga Chaitanya is now working out vigorously to look macho. There won't be much change in his physique in his immediate release Bejawada but there will be a considerable change in the way he looks in Autonagar Surya.
 There is a huge difference in his physique now which shows that all the work outs are paying off. However, the boyish charm in his face is still there which would take some time to vanish. Actor Nitin also faced similar problem when he wanted to shift his image to a mass hero from lover boy. Nitin is still facing the problem and we should wait and see if Naga Chaitanya can shed off those 'pilla' looks in the near future. 

Oosaravelli breaks Dookudu first day record


Labels: Jr NTR, Mahesh Babu,
Jr. NTR is showing his crowd pulling capabilities and star power at the box office with Oosaravelli. The makers of this film went for an aggressive release, which is also the biggest release ever for a Telugu film. The ploy paid off big time as this film has set a new record on its first day. It crossed Dookudu’s first day record by a mile.

Although the makers of Oosaravelli announced that this film has collected around 16 crore gross on its first day, the film has really collected a worth share of over 7.5 crore on first day which is so much more than Dookudu actual first day share. We have to wait and see if Oosaravelli can beat Dookudu first week record or not. Oosaravelli opened to mixed response and the talk is ranging from flop to average in various areas. So it will be a huge task for the film to sustain the collection flow from Monday.

Katrina Kaif Rejected 20Cr Offer


Labels: , Katrina Kaif,
These are the days when the best of heroes get anywhere between Rs 15 crores to Rs 20 crores as remuneration. But if sources from Mumbai are to be believed, one heroine has got an offer which is hard to say no. Well, we are talking about the famous Katrina Kaif.

Buzz is that Katrina was approached by the big producer Vashu Bhagnani for a new movie and the offer was Rs 20 crores. Kats was asked to pair up with Jackky Bhagnani, son of Vashu, and his career has been in doldrums right from the start. This deal was being done through director Rajkumar Santoshi, as per sources.
 However, it is heard that Kats has declined the offer for obvious reasons. While all this is one side, those who heard this say "Rs 20 crores and all is trash. No heroine can be given so much. Maybe Katrina was approached for the film with a high remuneration but Rs 20 crores is impossible. This is just fake." Only time will tell that.

With Mahesh and Nandamuri fans showing their power with these movies, mega fans are waiting to show their heroes stamina soon.

They are desperate to show who is the king to other heroes fans. Already the first look posters of this film are a big hit among the fans.
 The producers of Panjaa say that this film would be a treat to everyone. Director Vishnu Vardhan has a unique style of presenting his hero and this film would show a new Pawan altogether. Pawan Kalyan proved his power at the box office particularly with mass films and Panjaa should follow the suit.

Rajamouli condemns Mega rumors


Labels: Chiranjeevi, Rajamouli,
Recently Megastar Chiranjeevi met Rajamouli on Eega movie sets and had a hearty talk with the sensational director. He also appreciated the director’s hard work and dedication. This gesture from the megastar ignited rumors that Chiranjeevi asked Rajamouli to direct his 150th movie.

Rajamouli quickly responded to these rumors and has put an end to them saying that he is not directing Chiranjeevi. He said that his next movie after Eega would be with Prabhas. “News bout Chiranjeevi Garu offering me to direct his 150th film are completely false.my next film after eega is with Prabhas,” Rajamouli stated.
 So the doubts over Chiranjeevi’s 150th movie director are still on and there is no one zeroed in at the moment. Chiranjeevi and his camp are waiting to rope in the best for this movie as it would be the prestigious ever film in Tollywood history.

Mahesh Should Commit Suicide


Labels: Mahesh Babu,
When it comes to class acting, strikingly handsome looks and mind blowing designer wear, Mahesh Babu has a niche of his own. That’s why he is called the prince of Tollywood. However, thanks to one TV news channel and its ‘creative’ program, Mahesh will be driven to the verge of suicide if he sees it.

Well, we are talking about the ‘Be A Star’ program which has begun coming in the TV9 channel. The concept of the program is to pick up look alikes (!) of stars from the common people and then he will be given makeover, costumes and styling. Finally, he would be decked up as close as possible to the star.

It is heard that they will make a big poster and hoarding and put it at city center mall with a poster launch in front of parents. The posters will eventually be placed at other places too. Recently, one such episode took place and the boy in focus was supposedly a look alike of Mahesh Babu. However, the talk is that after all the styling and other drama, the posters to be launched is done using morphing method.
 Those who saw this program are saying “TV9 is literally playing with middle class people purely for TRP. This is a news channel why are they doing something like a reality show in it.” Only TV9 can answer that.

'Dookudu' Producers Wish 'Oosaravelli' To Go Hit


Labels: Mahesh Babu,
Before the release of the film ‘Oosaravelli’ there was this talk that it might affect the collections of ‘Dookudu’ but actually sources say the producers of ‘Dookudu’ wanted ‘Oosaravelli’ also to be a hit. Apparently, ‘Dookudu’ has actually surpassed their expectations in terms of collections and audience response. That’s why they are happy.

A close friend of the producers revealed “Anil and his group said that if ‘Oosaravelli’ becomes a hit, it is a good thing for Tollywood. It is not necessary that because ‘Oosaravelli’ is a hit ‘Dookudu’ will not be seen. Public will see both. Earlier, 4-5 films used to come during festivals and they used to see all.”
 He added “The audience doesn’t make comparisons. If there is more than one film release, they will see the better one first. So, that way there were wholehearted wishes from ‘Dookudu’ producers for ‘Oosaravelli’ to score a hit. And if it scores success, then it will be a satisfying Dussehra for Tollywood.”

Director gives Flop look to Pawan Kalyan


Labels: Pawan Kalyan,
The bearded avatar of Pawan Kalyan in Panjaa has been buzzing in filmisthan and the observers say that this made the film to set high expectations on the film. A refreshing change from Pawan Kalyan's monotonous looks is attracting his fans too. There are few who feel that Pawan Kalyan is not looking at his best in this new look.

Why did director Vishnu Vardhan asked Pawan Kalyan to don such a getup? Is it necessary for the character or is it just a fantasy of the director to give his heroes the similar look? In Vishnu's previous film Sarvam, Arya donned the same getup and costumes too. Vishnu Vardhan made Pawan Kalyan to look the same in Panjaa.
 Arya's Sarvam was a huge flop in Tamil and we have to wait and watch if similar fate is awaiting Pawan Kalyan's Panjaa or not?
