Star Heroes @ Flops Rs.40 Crores?
Seems like telugu cinema is currently in a transition period. Gone are the days where cine trade and the fans of heroes had shown their interest only on the 'run' of the movie. Gradually, people started counting the shares and grosses of the movies. This era continued for some time.
Right now, a powerful strategy is being implemented by the producers, who are making movies with star heroes. As per this strategy, despite the movie's talk on its first day, the movie has to collect at least Rs.40 crores share and a minimum of Rs.60 crores gross. To achieve this goal, the producers are going for a gigantic release of their movies. Releasing a movie in 1000+ theaters will be a common thing here after. Controlling the video piracy of the movie at least for two weeks after its release will be the added advantage for getting good collections. Apparently, the golden era of Telugu movie is coming back.
Mahesh Babu @ is Tollywood No1 Hero!!!
Superstar Mahesh Babu is riding high after delivering back-to-back hits in the form of 'Dookudu' and 'Businessman'. The actor never cared aimed for records or the number one position in the Telugu Film Industry. He always concentrated on his work and tried to re-invent himself as an actor.
Mahesh began his journey as an child actor years ago. He always believed in his ability and has grown from strength to strength since then. He makes sure of giving his best with every shot, treats every film as his debut film and always feels there is room for improvement. Mahesh's work speaks for itself.
Success keeps you 'Glowing', but only 'Faith' and 'Attitude' keeps you going...That's the most interesting part of Life! Mahesh knows it better than anyone else. There might be many Heroes, but all of them can't become No.1. And Mahesh Babu is here to seal the top spot!
Mega Heores @ Heading For A Sacrifice!!
A stupendous hit is miles away from all the heroes of this striking group in the recent past. Working so hard on their movies, are these heroes heading for sacrifices is the point of many folks now.
Apparently, all the last films of glowing-stars from the mega-clan have went in a flop way. Be it Powerstar's PANJAA, Ramcharan's ORANGE or Allu Arjun's BADRINATH, nothing has satisfied fans. To fulfill the requirements of their ocean sized fan-base, all these heroes are coming up with mass-masala flicks. Pavan is coming with GABBAR SINGH, Charan with RACHA and Bunny is PARTNER (working title).
However, observers are saying that all these films will be ready by this summer. If that is the case, then the question will be who is coming first and who is moving out. Looks like one hero must sacrifice his film to allow other group member's flick to hit theatres. So who is going to sacrifice?
Businessman @ Upsets Dil Raju Camp!!
Peoples answer to the stamina of a Star-hero and sensational-director is nothing but the 'success' of BUSINESSMAN. The movie's sky-rocketing performance at BO has upset many and here is another such story.
Dil Raju, the gigantic producer of Telugu Cinema Industry looks upset with BUSINESMAN. This is not because the movie is doing extremely well in terms of trade. The 'dates' of Mahesh have become a big problem for them. Earlier, Mahesh used to allot years and years for a movie and allowed the directors to sculpt as they like. But he finished BUSINESSMAN in a record time of 74 days and now this is making 'trains run in Dil Raju camp's hearts'.
Currently, Mahesh is doing SEETHAMMA VAKITLO SIRIMALLE CHETTU for Dil Raju, under the direction of Srikanth Addala. After this movie, he wants to jump immediately to Sukumar's project. The director of SVSC, Srikanth is said to be shooting at a snail's pace in the name of 'quality'. As the dates of Mahesh are finishing faster, tensions are building up in the camp, say insiders.
Rana's @ Salsa with three hot girls!!
The towering hunk Daggubati Rana is known for his image as a Casanova in Bollywood circuit. Despite his repeated denials, the buzz has been strong about Rana’s bonding with the dusky Bollywood bombshell Bipasha Basu. Now, the budding hero is making news for another reason.
It is heard that Rana is busy enjoying with three hot babes. They are Maryam Zakaria, Hamsa Nandini and another new girl. Well, all this is happening in reel and not real. The buzz is that Rana will soon be seen in a spicy item song where he would shake his leg with the three hot bombshells.
This is for the film 'Naa Ishtam' and the man to make this happen is director Prakash Tholeti. The film has the bubbly beauty Genelia as the leading lady but this item song is reportedly going to be the highlight of 2012. Further details about the project would be revealed soon.
Businessman 2 @ Suspence Breaks!!
A lot has been happening since the time 'Businessman' has arrived and the success wave it has created. Things got into a major frenzy after director Puri Jagannadh announced that he would be doing a sequel to it and it would feature prince Mahesh Babu in a dual role.
However, the speculations and confusions increased when Puri announced that he would be doing a film with Pawan Kalyan. There was also a talk that the sequel has been shelved or left in the cold storage. Just when everyone were beginning to give up, here is the latest update.
Sources say the project is very much on and it would be hitting the floors in the year end. For now, Puri would be busy with his new project while Mahesh will wrap up his projects with Srikanth Addala and Sukumar to get ready for the sequel. So, get set for this one.
RamCharan @ is working on his Weakness!!
One of the biggest assets of Chiranjeevi as an actor is his impeccable comedy timing. Chiranjeevi is very good at doing humorous roles and one can't forget his wonderful work in mass comedies like Rowdy Alludu, Jebu Donga etc. Chantabbai is one of his memorable comedies.
Even his brother Pawan Kalyan is very good at comedy. He has his own way of doing comedy and that is one of the main reasons for his popularity. Mahesh Babu too is growing popular with the latest addition of 'comedy' to his armor. It is vital for a superstar to be a pro at comedy as it will take him closer to the audience and makes him the household name.
Chiranjeevi's son Ram Charan is weak at comedy with what we have seen of him in the three films that he did. He is neither gifted with the comic timing of his father nor style of his uncle. Most of the mega fans are a bit disappointed about it. Charan too is aware of it and is working hard to improve in this department. He is trying his hand at mass comedy in Racha movie and let's see if he could pull it off.
Producer & Director @ Fighting For Pawan Kalyan!!
Some ‘investments’ are such a way that even in the recession time they will give you huge profits. Perfect example for this is Powerstar Pavan Kalyan.
According to grapevine, an ace producer and a star director are fighting for Pavan Kalyan. The quarrel rose in connection with the producing of his next film after GABBAR SINGH. If sources are to be believed, Pavan gave a serious ‘yes’ to Puri’s movie after this flick. Other than directing, Puri wants to produce the flick on his own banner ‘Vaishno Academy’.
However, Allu Arvind is said to be insisting Puri to produce the movie on ‘Geetha Arts’ banner. Though Pavan gave the consent just few days back, Arvind is waiting from a long time to get Puri direct under his company. Let us see what happens!
Mahesh Babu @ Satire on NTR and Ram Charan!!
Prince Mahesh is Tollywood’s smiling assassin. Many are charmed at Prince Mahesh Babu’s cool composure irrespective of his film’s success or failure at the box office. Even during the long break he more than compensated endorsing brands of top companies. He may be sporting the same smile that casts a magic spell on all but with two back to back blockbusters many feel he is undoubtedly enjoying unofficial number one position in Tollywood with the success of ‘Business Man’.
In more than one interview he chose to stay away from speaking much about the number one status,taking the compliment in his stride with his trademark smile. But without budging Prince Mahesh Babu, a smiling assasin as he is sent satires at his other co-stars saying he will concentrate on tollywood to show its power across the world and also naming his costars as his competitors. He even adviced genex heroes not to worry about petty things like records,collections or rankings and do what they are best at like surrendering to director and act accordingly.
The moment one hears the words of records and colletions one feels Prince is sending clear signals to stars like young Mega powerstar Ram Charan and Young Tiger Jr NTR. One still remembers the controversy generated regarding ‘Dookudu’ and ‘Magadheera’ collections and also film makers of ‘Oosaravelli’ boasting about their first day collections. It has to be seen how the other stars react to Prince’s smiling satires as he said in an interview that corporates are zeroing in on him after lot of research to increase salebility of their brands in the process sending clear subtle signals that he is number one and thoroughly enjoying while having dig at other stars.
