Mahesh Own dubbing For Business Man in Tamil

It is already known that Prince Mahesh Babu’s upcoming action entertainer ‘Businessman’ is going to be released in Tamil and Malayalam as well along with Telugu. The news is that for Tamil, Mahesh Babu himself is dubbing for the movie. Mahesh Babu is a fluent speaker of Tamil and that is the reason he opted to lend his voice to the Tamil version of the movie.

‘Businessman’ is gearing up for a release on January 11th 2012 with a massive number of prints and the movie is carrying huge expectations. Puri Jagan has directed this movie on R.R.Movie Makers Banner. Thaman has scored the music for this movie and the audio launch will take place on December 22nd at Shilpa Kala Vedika.

Is Balayya's mass following Stronger than Pawan?

It is a noted fact that for a hero to score success, he should have a strong mass following. That is one reason why many Telugu heroes tend to come up with mass oriented flicks if they want to find a strong foothold. Right now, the focus is on two heroes who are known for their strong mass following.

They are Nandamuri Balakrishna and Pawan Kalyan. Though both are from different leagues, the cine folks say both enjoy a massive following. However, there are those who say that more than Pawan it is Balayya who has a strong penetration with the hardcore masses.
They add "Pawan has more craze among the youth audience and especially the students but we are talking about the hardcore B,C centre audience who come from very low income groups. Since their proportion is more and their interest towards cinema is high, Balayya's count is higher than Pawan."

Ash is the ‘Super Hot Mom’ of Bollywood

Former Miss World Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been voted as the hottest mother by an online poll conducted through a showbiz website. It’s been declared that she is the B-town’s most gorgeous, super hottest and sexiest women.

The poll was conducted between Aishwarya Rai, Kajol, Madhuri Dixit, Malaika Arora, Karisma Kapoor and Twinkle Khanna. Aishwarya had left behind all these beauties and has bagged the title, ‘Super Hot Mom’ for herself. Karisma came in second place as the actor lost it only for 1% to Aishwarya. Aishwarya’s pregnancy was much talked about topic in the B-town from the day her father-in–law, Amitabh Bachchan announced her pregnancy on twitter. Aishwarya’s popularity has not reduced post her marriage and now post her motherhood. It seems the ‘Bacchan Bahu’ has a long way to go.

Vidya Balan turns more Expensive

Vidya Balan is acting more pricey. The reason behind this is the actor’s role in her forthcoming flick ‘The Dirty Picture’ which is much hyped and talked about. The film is estimated to be a huge hit because of the characters and the story line of the film. Vidya Balan was recently approached for the role of playing the female lead of the film ‘Shaadi ke side effects’ which is a sequel to ‘Pyaar ke Side Effects’. The buzz is going around stating that Vidya had demanded much big amount as her acting fee than the male lead Farhan Akhtar. This shocking demand of Vidya has brought second thoughts in the mind of the filmmaker whether to sign her or not. Vidya and Farhan will be teaming up for the first time in this movie together. Farhan Akhtar has signed on but even his remunerations have yet to be settled down.

Bejawada @ New Trailer Exclusive

144 Section In 'Bezawada'?

The clock is ticking for the most talked about and much awaited movie of the season to arrive and face judgement from the people. We are talking about ‘Bezawada’ and it is releasing on December 1st as announced. Now, it is heard that the city of Vijayawada is preparing itself for the film.

Reports say that the Vijayawada police are planning to keep 144 section in key areas of the city. As such, a high alert security is being arranged near the theatres with strong police bandobast ensuring that people don’t crowd too much. Groups would not be allowed to form near the theatres, as per sources.
Maybe if there is any controversial elements then having these arrangements will prevent any disturbance. It is heard that depending on the result of the morning show the police department will make changes. Otherwise, certain rules and restrictions will be imposed full day. Let us see what happens.

Will Pawan Attends Cherry Engagement?

One of the most talked about and much awaited events of the season is the engagement ceremony of Ramcharan Tej with Upasana Kamineni. While the arrangements are happening in full swing, many are trying their best to be part of it. However, there is another important thing under discussion about this event.

It is about Pawan Kalyan and will he come to the engagement. Ever since the incident of mega family absence at ‘Panjaa’ audio function happened, it became a hot topic. Though folks like Allu Arjun and Naga Babu reiterated they are all one some are still not convinced.
They are saying “We will know the real truth now. If Pawan Kalyan comes then okay but if he doesn’t come by any chance, even if he has a genuine reason no one will be ready to believe.” On the other hand, the mega fans are also very enthusiastic to see what happens. From our end, we wish Pawan comes and makes it a happy occasion altogether.

Cold War Between Top Heroines For Mahesh Babu

Cat fights and cold wars are quite common between top league heroines but usually that happens when both are working together for the same film. However, it is now heard that a new war is shaping up and the interesting point is, the two heroines are not working in the same project.

Grapevine from filmnagar sources is that a cold war of sorts is brewing between Kajal Agarwal and Tamannah. The reason for that is Mahesh Babu. Well, Kajal is currently busy with the shooting of ‘The Businessman’ wherein she paired up with Mahesh. On the other hand, Tamannah will soon be pairing up with Mahesh for her new film under the direction of Sukumar.
Buzz is that both starlets are keen to prove that they are a better pair with Mahesh. In this process, it is also heard that they are doing their best to impress Mahesh and ensure that they get few positive bytes from him when he addresses the media. Sources say this is also leading to a jealousy factor between both. Let us see how this goes.

Ram Charan repeats the same Mistake!

If Magadheera was made on a high budget, the output was really astounding. That film needed that budget and Rajamouli utilized every penny spent on the film. Films like Magadheera happen very rarely and ordinary films can't surpass them in reality.

Heroes should keep this in mind and spend as per the script's range. Spending on par with Magadheera has put Orange and its producer in serious trouble. Charan agreed that Orange shouldn't have been made on such a huge budget. He also said that he would do films within a decent budget.
Charan's Racha film was supposed to be made on a budget of 20 crore rupees. But the production cost of the film has already exceeded the estimated amount by a mile. One fight sequence that was shot in China has cost 2 crores for the producers. Charan doesn't want to compromise on the quality and the producers couldn't say no to him. Racha shooting is not yet complete and by the time it ends it could be greater than or equal to Orange's budget. For a routine commercial fare, spending so much is nothing but asking for trouble.

NTR gives another chance to Sexy Lady

Kajal Agarwal was supposed to play the female lead in Junior NTR's Dammu when Shruti walked out of the film. Kajal was contacted immediately and the actress tried her best to accommodate the dates for Dammu as she was stuck up with prior commitments.

Rumor has it that Kajal Agarwal didn't agree to play the heroine in this film due to financial issues. It was rumored that Kajal asked for a hefty paycheck to make adjustments to her call sheets diary. With no crazy heroine available at that time, they have zeroed in Trisha for Dammu.
Fans believed that NTR will not entertain Kajal anymore. They felt bad about it as he is already at war with Ileana. They feared that NTR should be doing films with outdated heroines like Trisha if he adds Kajal to his enemies list. But they can heave a sigh now as NTR and Kajal are going to team up very soon. Details later.

AR Murugadoss plans to direct Ram Charan

AR Murugadoss is busy working for his next project titled 'Thuppaki' with Ilayathalapathy Vijay and Kajal Agarwal in the lead. But it seems like the director is getting calls from Telugu film industry. Megastar Chriranjeevi is the one who is making repeated cals to AR Murugadosss.

Megastar Chiranjeevi and AR Murugadoss worked together for the super hit Telugu movie Stalin which got released back in 2006 and got a great response. From that AR Murugadoss shared a good rapport with the Megastar. Even they had plans to work again. But now Chiranjeevi wishes his son Ram Charan to act under AR Murugadoss direction.
Once Vijay's Thupakki gets finished, AR Murugadoss might be joining hands with Ram Charan for a Telugu project says Kollywood circles.

Superstar's words is also a key to Success

Rajinikanth who watched Mayakkam Enna in the special screening done for him heaped laurels on the entire team. He said that this film will leave a mark in everyone's life. The depth of the story really amazed me the superstar added. Speaking about his son-in-law the superstar said, in each film Dhanush is showing variations. Surely Mayakkam Enna will remain as one of his best . His way of writing lyrics, singing style, expressing emotions has made me wonder about him.

Selvaraghavan is something to look out for, such a talented director and trendsetting film maker. I have been watching his movies right from the begining and he is one of the finest directors of Tamil cinema. 
Selva and Dhanush says we feel so grateful for the superstar who poured wishes on us and we believe that his words are also a blessing for the success of Mayakkam Enna.

Karthi degrades Tamil audience

Karthi who made a statement at the Maa tv film awards function has turned into a big issue it seems. When Karthi was asked by a compair whom he likes most Tamil or Telugu Audience, he said 'definitely i like Telugu audience only because they enjoy a film each and evey frame by giving applauses and mainly they watch movies in theaters so they are superior than the Tamil audience'.

This happened six months ago but recently Hindu Makkal Katchi(HMK) activists came to know about this speech. They said Tamil cinema fans got a bad shock towards Karthi's statement. How can he degrade those who respected him so much. We ask him to apology for the agony caused.
The news soon reached Karthi who is shooting with Anushka in Chalakudy for his next film directed by Suraj. Karthi saya ' i didn't mean anything to hurt my Tamil audience, they are my Parents how can i degrade them and asked deep forgiveness if spoken wrongly'.

Why this Kolaveri di turns Maniac

The team of '3' movie is getting excitements each day with just one song released from this Tamil movie. '3' is the movie directed by Aishwarya R Dhanush starred by Dhanush and Sruthi Hassan. One month back a song got leaked in the internet titled 'why this kolaveri di' in low quality audio got immediate attention from online people.

So the '3' team decided to launch the official original version of 'Why This Kolaveri Di' and finally they released the Single track of their film. But within a day the song started to create a huge mania among yougsters and started spreading widely through the Internet.
Soon celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonakshi Sinha, Karan Johar, Anand mahindra, Shreyaghosal and many others starting praising 'why this kolaveri di' through their social networking sites crossing 9million views on youtube.
Recently director Selvaraghavan tweeted 'Lot of u asking about kola veri. To tell you the truth both " kaadhal en "and " kola veri" are composed and written entirely by dhanush'.Really happy for dhanush. He has a composer in him it seems. he added.

Vijay's Thuppaki title to be Changed

Vijay's fourth coming project is tentatively titled as Thuppaki in Tamil and Telugu. AR Murugadoss who thought that the action entertainer would go well with this catchy title seems to face some problems from Tollywood industry.

Jinka Harish Babu the director from Tollywood who already registered the same title earlier before Vijay and AR Murugadoss project has started is claiming it to be his title. When the assitants of AR Murugadoss aprroached the Telugu director, he said that his project is 40% over so he won't be able to give the title Thuppaki.
So confusions are going withing AR Murugadoss team, either there will be a title change done by AR Murugadoss for its Telugu version or else there will be a need to pay high amount to get the same title from Jinka Harish babu says sources.

Kolaveri fever is being Cashed on!

Why This Kolaveri Di song from the Tamil movie 3 has been creating sensation from the day it was out on Youtube. Even the makers of the film are shocked to see this song become such a huge rage all around the world.

Dhanush, who penned and sung this song says that he didn’t expect such a wild response for this song. With Kolaveri song fever reaching the maximum, few people are cashing upon the craze. Printed T shirts with Kolaveri lyrics are being sold on the net and in markets.
The film’s unit haven’t launched any merchandize, but few of them have seen the potential of this song to make quick bucks. In a way, this is going to add to the publicity and craze of this song.

Pawan's Panjaa character: Myriad colours

When a Pawan Kalyan film is in the offing, it is very much natural that speculation is agog on the web space. This time too, we are seeing rumours doing the rounds about Pawan Kalyan's character in the movie.
While some sections declaim that Pawan is playing dual role in the movie, others are a little more circumspect. The truth is, Pawan is playing a single role and his name is Jai.

It goes without saying that the Power Star is going to be seen in an upright character with a sense of scruples. This can be concluded from one of the lines we have heard him say in the movie in the long trailer released on the eve of Nov. 19. The character believes in doing good to others without expecting any favours or good for himself in return.
Jai is an angry young man yes, but there is a romantic side to him. He is our shy hero who can't muster the courage to confess his love. When Sub-Inspetor Paparayudu (you already know who is famously seen in the role) is around, Jai starts pulling his legs.
One character, many colours!

Pawan Kalyan @ Brand New SUV Mercedes G55

Power Star Pawan Kalyan is a proud owner of this Mercedes G55 S.U.V (Sport Utility Vehicle). This has just arrived today and Panjaa producer Neelima Sanghamitra revealed the first look of it for Pawan fans.

Pawan is a simple person, who usually doesn’t spend much on luxuries. However, he has a unique taste and it reflects in the choice of his vehicle. No doubt Mercedes G55 would get instant popularity among his fans.
Take a look at this white Mercedes G55 which costs around 1.1 crore rupees!

Ram Charan Tej Engagement Card

Preview @ Pawan Kalyan 'Panjaa'

Vishnuvardhan is a well known name in Tamil film industry for his slick and chick realistic looking action entertainers. He is making his debut in Telugu films.. “We shot a major schedule in Kolkata for two months and then traveled to Pollachi and Karaikudi to shoot the rural episodes before leaving for the picturesque Vagamon in Kerala to shoot a few portions. The story is a blend of urban and rural milieu. One of the heroines hails from a village,” says Neelima Tirumalasetty. She is producing the film along with her husband Nagesh Muntha. Joining hands with them is Arka Media’s Sobhu Yarlagadda.

The director is very clear about the casting and technical team. The actors were chosen according to the characters in the story, so each one has a part to play and not remain as decorative pieces, she adds. “Every character from Atul Kulkarni, Tanikella Bhrani, Brahmanandam, Ali, Subbaraju, Paruchuri Venkateswara Rao and Jhansi are contributing. Adavi Sesh (of ‘Karma’ fame) plays a crucial role with negative shades. For instance, he thought only Jackie Shroff could do justice to a particular character that has many intriguing scenes with Pawan Kalyan. Vishnuvardhan has done a superb job.”


Nagesh adds, “Vishnuvardhan is supported by an efficient technical team. Cinematographer P. S. Vinod who is already popular in Bollywood, the acclaimed editor A. Srikar Prasad, art director Sunil Babu, Bollywood’s top action director Shyam Kaushal and Yuvan Shankar Raja whose peppy compositions are being sold like hotcakes. Panjaa is not your regular four songs- three fights-one item number fare. They will regale you. The humor, drama and action sync well into the story. The director kept a safe distance from unwanted build-ups, over-the-top dialogues and exaggerated heroism. It will be remembered as a gangster classic for a long time to come and will set the benchmark for its technical brilliance.” Except for two days work to film a song, the movie’s shooting part has been completed, says the debutant producer Neelima. “We didn’t plan our entry into the tinsel world. It just happened. Destiny brought us to this field. Pawan Kalyan is the inspiring force behind this project and once we launched it everything fell in place and we promise a new movie experience within the parameters of commercial cinema,” signs off Neelima. Panjaa is slated for release on December 9.

Is Naga Chaitanya Bigger Than Nagarjuna?

It is very natural to see that expectations run high when star kids are arriving with their films. And when the kids hail from very powerful backgrounds, the expectations double. Something like that is the case with Naga Chaitanya and many have been drawing comparative lines between him and his father Nagarjuna.

Now, the comparison is running high due to the new film ‘Bezawada’. Many are saying that Chaitu has got a bigger impact than Nag. For starters, even the chain that Chaitu uses in the film is bigger than the one Nag uses in his trendsetting film ‘Shiva’. 
There are those who say “Chaitu’s voice modulation, his body language and his intensity is looking powerful than Nag. While Nag was seen in a clean shaven trimmed look in ‘Shiva’, Chaitu looks more raw and rugged which is giving a higher impact. Overall, ‘Bezawada’ seems to give a strong screen presence to Chaitu.” Nag must be a proud father if he gets to know this. Yes, any father feels proud when he knows that his son has bigger and better one than him…yes, we mean 'impact'!!

Problem With Mahesh Babu's Sister In Law

Dil Raju is making a wonderful high budget multi starrer film in the direction of Sreekanth Addala and that is known for all. The title ‘Seetamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu’ is also so captivating. As per the sources the film runs on the heavy drama between vadina and maridhi. So the key roles are those two. While ‘maridhi’ is finalized to be Mahesh Babu, now the problem is with vadhina. Initially they tried to get Nayantara but Prabhudeva negated. Entire ‘SVSC’ team tried to convince Prabhudeva but all efforts turned vain. Then they thought to go for Sridevi Boney Kapoor. But Venkatesh who has to pair up with vadhina character negated the idea stating that she looks too old beside him (!!). Otherwise, ‘Kshana Kshanam’ pair might have returned again. Then, they approached Anushka. But that is yet to be finalized as there are some mental blocks in casting her. That is because, Mahesh Babu and Anushka paired up recently in ‘Khaleja’ and hence audience may not feel comfortable seeing her as Mahesh’s s-i-l.

Now vadhina search is going on in big way. The next choice is Bhoomika and we have to see if that gets finalized. Of course, Mahesh Babu has done Okkadu with her.
But one thing has to be understood here by the makers. It is the emotion in the narration that allures the audience but not the combination. Prakash Raj who acted as a tough antagonist to Mahesh Babu is ‘Pokiri’, portrayed as his sentimental father in ‘Dookudu’. But no audience worried and they didn’t even recall what they have seen in Pokiri. Similarly, Jayasudha who acted as wife to Prakash Raj in Bommarillu, appeared as elder sister to him in ‘Solo’. No one recalled Bommarillu combination while watching Solo.
Let us wish the makers clear their mental blocks.

What's wrong between NTR and Ileana?

Film Industry is the place where relationships between people change more frequently. Friends today turn Rivals tomorrow! Young Tiger NTR and Seductive Actress Ileana are a best example to this theory.
Both NTR and Ileana shared a great rapport on and off screen since the time of their critically acclaimed film 'Rakhee'. However, things were not the same all the time. The friction between the duo started when Ileana refused to promote the film 'Shakti' calling it a bad film, which doesn't deserve her promotion.

Lookslike, NTR has taken those remarks too seriously. When director Srinu Vytla and producer Ganesh Babu proposed the name of Ileana for the female lead role in their upcoming film, NTR bluntly rejected it and asked them to consider someone else.
"Ileana is known for her starry tantrums. After Shakti, we can hardly expect NTR teaming up with Ileana again," a crew member of Shakti.
Currently, Ileana is working for only one flick in Tollywood and that happens to be Allu Arjun-Trivikram's film. Let's see how long can Ileana survive in the Industry having a tiff with a Star Hero like NTR!!!
