Sunitha Comments on Nagrjuna Hair


Labels: Nagarjuna,
Yes! We are saying true. We heard that all the discussion, argument, fight and the final sexual harassment case started with 'hair'. Check out some interesting revelations of Annapurna Studio insiders!

There is a rumor in Film Nagar from a long time that most of our senior heroes are running their careers with the support of 'wigs'. They are supposed to have lost acres of hair on their forehead and are fooling around people with 'artificial' hair. Some stars like Rajnikanth and Balakrishna often comes out to public without wig and looks more genuine though they wear wigs on screen.

Coming to our story, journalist Sunitha Chowdary has questioned Nag repeatedly about the originality of his hair and boldly argued that it is a 'wig'. Upon hearing such false allegations, Nag lost his cool on the lady journalist and made some verbal abuses. This is in turn is portrayed as a 'sexual harassment' by Sunitha who has lost to Nag in that 'hair' case, the insider revealed. The authenticity of the information is yet to be verified however!
 There is no piece of word from both sides about the case and the Police revealed that they are still investigating. Cine Observers are saying that no doubt there will be an out-of-court settlement.

Would Bollywood notice Panjaa?


Labels: Pawan Kalyan,
It has been gala time for stories with elements of action, romance, comedy and a bit of larger-than-life heroism.  This explains why more and more dream merchants in Bollywood have been enamoured of films like Ghajini, Pokiri, Ready, Gharshana (Mani Ratnam's film of the '80s), Bodyguard, Dookudu etc.
Going by the trend, would Panjaa too be noticed by some producer or the other in Bollywood?  The answer to this question would be a confident yes.  For one, the film is high on adrenaline action.  For another, it has a mafia backdrop and other intriguing elements.
Though the film has not released, expectations on it are high.  Perhaps the film will be watched by wannabes in Bollywood for sure if it becomes a hit.
Panjaa has got a responsibility to live up to the expectations of Pawan's fans as well as the fans of South Indian films in Bollywood.  Aha!

Dookudu Comfortably Beats Magadheera


Labels: Mahesh Babu, Ram Charan,
Ever since the time ‘Dookudu’ released and even before that, the only topic of discussion was whether it has enough to beat the all time best blockbuster ‘Magadheera’. Now, the film has released and it appears that the film is on its way to replace ‘Magadheera’ and set new records.

According to reports, the total collections for 14 days in gross are Rs 70 crores. The cine pundits say that in just another 15 days, it can touch Rs 85 crores if the same trend continues. Now, this is without the price of the satellite rights and just box office collection. It was reported earlier that the satellite was given away for Rs 5.25 crores.
 So, as per the estimation of the producers, the chances of ‘Dookudu’ touching nearly Rs 90 crores look very strong. And if there is any revenue from remake rights then it is considered as plus. Altogether, it will add and who knows it might touch Rs 100 crores, say observers although many are ruling out the possibility.

Ajith and Shankar @ Bharateeyudu 2


Labels: Ajith, ,
One of the Shankar’s finest movies Bharateeyudu is going to have a sequel soon says the buzz from Kollywood. Producer AM Ratnam who made Indian (in Tamil) is toying with the idea of making a sequel with Ajith Kumar in the lead. Shankar is yet to give a nod to this proposal.

AM Ratnam recently acquired dates of Ajith Kumar and he has been trying to rope in one of the top most directors of Tamil cinema for this film. He is eyeing Shankar at the moment and if he says yes for it, then Bharateeyudu 2 will start rolling.
 Ajith Kumar proved to be the biggest crowd puller among Tamil middle aged heroes and he is riding high with Mankatha (Gambler) success. Shankar also has been looking to work with Ajith for long but that didn’t happen till now. If this duo teams up then AM Ratnam will have a gold mine at hands.

Good days for Tollywood


Labels: Jr NTR, Mahesh Babu, Pawan Kalyan,

For the past three months, nothing seemed to go right for Telugu film industry. Most of the film hardly made an impact and some of the films turned out to be major disappointments. However, it all changed on September 23 when Mahesh Babu’s Dookudu hit the screens. The film registered record openings, right from day one and went on to several records at several centres. So far, the producers claim that the film has grossed Rs 70 crores which is humungous and it’s by far the biggest hit for Mahesh Babu. On October 5th, the first look of Pawan Kalyan’s upcoming film Panjaa was revealed and so impressed were Pawan Kalyan’s fans that they couldn’t stop going gaga over the actor’s brand new look.
The beefed up body and the beard seemed to have hit the right chord and all eyes will be on the film’s trailer which is expected to be aired on Diwali. A day later, on October 6th, NTR’s Oosaravelli had released in record number of theatres across the state and the US. As is the case with other NTR’s films, the openings were phenomenal. The film collected Rs 15.75 crores on day 1 as per the producer and it’s the best opening ever in a single day in Telugu cinema. These three films seem to have lifted the spirits of everyone in the film industry and also the audience. With several big budget films and big stars’ films lined up for releas over the next few weeks, it certainly looks like Telugu film industry can expect the good run to continue in the near future as well.

Logic Behind 1800 Theatres Of 'Oosaravelli'


Labels: Jr NTR,
When it was announced that ‘Oosaravelli’ was released across 1800 theatres in Andhra Pradesh, many joked. They said in AP only 1500 theatres are active. From a distance it might be true but then there is logic behind the way the number of theatres is counted.

Logic is there are many countries like Australia, US, UK, Africa, Gulf and other countries worldwide wherein the rights have been bought, so it is impossible to count by number. For example, ‘Dookudu’ released in 21 theatres in north India and it is heard that producers also didn’t know for three days.

In AP state ‘Dookudu’ touched 617 while ‘Oosaravelli’ touched 620. And with places like Bangalore, Mysore, Gulbarga, Chennai, Coimbatore, Madurai, Cochin also screening the film, who can give the exact count. On the other hand, the multiplexes give the count on the basis of screenings. Some theatres only have 1 show, can that be counted.
 Some theatres in other states and countries count 4 shows as 4 screens. So, it is hard to give the count exactly. Once rights are sold it is upto the distributors to release in how many theatres they want. Finally, whatever count they give tends to get recorded. So, maybe the exact count within Andhra Pradesh is possible but giving overall count in exact numbers is not.

Has NTR Used Tamannah Physically??


Labels: Jr NTR, Tamanna,

After watching ‘Oosaravelli’, whether anyone has liked anything or not, one thing seems to have connected with them strongly.
In the film, Tamannah offers Rs 1 crore to NTR to kill the killers of her brother, sister-in-law and their kids. But along with that, she gives another offer as well.
Tamannah requests NTR to use her physically if required. In the entire film, this is one dialogue youth are liking a lot. Only after Tamannah says she can be used, NTR takes the ‘Supari’ in ‘Oosaravelli’.

Sonia Secret Night With Mahesh Babu


Labels: Mahesh Babu, Sonia,
She is called the noodle haired beauty and though she has done limited films, she made her presence felt. She is none other than Sonia of ‘Happy Days’ ‘Vinayakudu’ fame and recently she was seen in the hit movie ‘Dookudu’. Buzz is that this dusky  beauty had a secret fling with Mahesh Babu.

In ‘Dookudu’, Sonia has the scene where she mentions in phone that she is getting tempted looking at Mahesh not knowing he is Telugu. That scene worked well as comedy. However, sources say she had that same temptation off the screen too.
 Unit members reveal “Sonia was asking Mahesh ‘I want to kiss you once please please’. After a point, it came to the stage of begging. After a lot of begging, Mahesh finally said okay. And the thing to note is he didn’t go forward after Sonia kissed him. Usually, others will not leave this chance but with Mahesh it is different. Anyways, Sonia satisfied her happiness by kissing Mahesh.” The final twist is, many friends of Sonia are feeling jealous about her lucky chance.

NTR Imitating Mahesh Babu


Labels: Jr NTR, Mahesh Babu,
When Junior NTR started off his career in cinema, there was a lot of emotional intensity and adrenalin pumping in his characters and performances. However, some of his recent movies are showing him to be underplaying his character. This has happened after ‘Yamadonga’.

Also, he has changed his styling and is giving a laidback performance. But many are saying that according to his image and energy levels, if he does it with emotional adrenalin only then it gives a perfect impact. By underplaying his role, public is not getting what they want from NTR.
 Many are now saying “NTR seems to be imitating Mahesh Babu by going soft in his expressions and body language. But by doing so, he is doing a mistake. Mahesh has a class appeal but NTR has got strong impact with the masses. It is important that he raises his energy levels and ups the intensity quotient. Otherwise, it will become hard for the audience to connect. Earlier, his performance used to cover up for any flaws in the story or scripting but now those flaws are becoming visible.” Hope Young Tiger is realizing that.

Dookudu Remake Rights in Namrata purse?


Labels: Mahesh Babu,
Did Mahesh Babu take Hindi remake rights in excess to his regular remuneration for Dookudu? The current dealings give us the same idea. Right now Mahesh's wife Namrata is dealing with the Bollywood filmmakers about this remake rights. She has been contacting Salman Khan's aides for some time, says Bollywood buzz.

Namrata took the initiative and contacted Bodyguard producer Atul Agnihotri, who is brother in law of Salman Khan. She had talks with Salman Khan's sister Alvira and she is expected to come to Hyderabad to seal a deal. A bollywood website stated that Alvira would meet Namrata about the Dookudu remake rights deal.
 Why is Namrata dealing with this when there are three producers for Dookudu apart from Mahesh's brother Ramesh Babu as presenter? Looks like Mahesh Babu took away the Hindi remake rights of this film in addition to his regular remuneration. Working with fairly new producers will earn you extra bucks sometimes, aha!
