Right from the word go, NTR was very cautious and even composed few fights under the supervision of Ram Laxman. Cannon blasting scenes shot at Pollachi would be one of the highlights of the film. Also, Dammu dialogues have generated great curiosity amongst the fans.
Recently, Dammu has completed its entire talkie part and editing formalities. Currently, a song is being shot on NTR, Trisha and Karthika in a special set at Annapurna Studios and this will be completed by tomorrow.

With each passing day, this director turned choreographer is writing a page for himself in the bad-books of Telugu cinema. Here comes latest news of his torture to 'Milku Milku Silaka'!
Sexy starlet Tamanna is coming up with three big flicks to make the hot summer much hotter. Other than Ramcharan's 'Racha', Tamanna has Ram's 'Endukantey Premanta' and Prabhas' 'Rebel' in the pipeline. Buzz is that after watching the trailers of 'Racha' songs, Lawrence has decided to use Tamanna's oomph to a maximum extent and is now planning to do a rain song with Prabhas-Tamanna. After watching red-hot Tamanna and her wet milky moves in 'Vaana.. Vaana..' song, there is no doubt that every man gets excited with sensations flowing all over his body.
But, the fact here is d Rebel's songs were already shot and there is no scope for one more hot song rather replacing an existing one. Our sexy girl is also running out of dates for this flick and producers are already crying with the over-shot budget. Looks like this is the last film for Lawrence as a director in Tollywood!
Powerstar Pawan Kalyan's upcoming action entertainer Gabbar Singh's release date has become a point of discussion in the Industry. The makers had announced the release date and Gabbar Singh will be taking the movie world by storm when it hits the theaters worldwide on May 9.
Everyone wondered why the makers have chosen a wednesday release, instead of a regular Friday release and what's the speciality of this date. Reliable sources have revealed the secret behind Pawan's move. The landmark films (Gang Leader and JVAS) in Chiru's career were also released on the same date. Though the makers have suggested April 27 release ('Khushi' date), Pawan insisted on releasing the film on May 9.
Putting all the rumors of split in Mega family aside, Pawan once showed that he has a great Respect for his brother, whom he had admired since childhood. Let's see if Gabbar Singh becomes a landmark film in the career of Pawan to continue the success sentiment further.
Among the talented character artists of the current generation, one name that comes in front row is of ajay. Came to recognition with a small role in Pawan’s ‘Kushi,’ he lapped every opportunity that arrived on his way. For all those who consider ajay even as a hero material, disappointment waited in the form of ‘Sarai Veerraju.’ Finally, it is ‘Ishq’ from Nitin, Nithya and Vikram combo gave good praises from critics and family audience for ajay, who has got an equivalent screen time with lead pair.
Well, when cine analysts are forecasting a good future for ajay…here comes one more golden duck in the form of ‘Gabbar Singh.’ As ajay is playing the key character of Pawan’s brother in the film, definitely he should be hoping for much more recognition to his career. Wish to see ajay in many wonderful roles.
For all Mega Fans, the film of ‘Gang Leader’ remains on top on any aspect. Songs composed by Bappilahari stay ever green finding relevance even today. Thanks to director Sampat Nandi for using a re-composition of ‘Vaana Vaana Velluvaaye’ in Charan’s ‘Rachcha’ getting ready for a release soon.
The first look teaser of ‘Rachcha’ comprising of ‘Vaana Vaana’ song has lead to a good discussion in cine circles. Yes, it’s the hot topic on who is sexiest among Vijayashanti and Tamanna dancing in wet costumes. Familiar opinion is Vijayashanti hasn’t exposed a minute of her skin in the song and it was just her sensible expressions with sweetly timed dance movements which made audience to go crazy. In current version, Tamanna for most of the time in song seems to have relied only on exposing her assets. That’s the major difference between heroines of past and present.
Arya and Anushka starrer Irandam Ulagam has resumed its shooting today, after three months.
Director Selvaraghavan says, “Heading to shoot after a gap of three months,” as all the film shootings were held due to strike. Anushka is touted to be playing dual role in this bilingual film being produced by Prasad V Potluri.
Irandam Ulagam is being filmed on PVP cinemas banner that has editing by Kola Bhasker, music by Harris Jayraj and art by Kiran in the technical crew.
The debutant venture of Varalakshmi Sarath Kumar is Podaa Podi that stars STR being directed by Vignesh Shivan, which is nearing completion.
“Podaa Podi showcases lead pair in 3 different stages and so it takes more time when compared to other big films,” says Vignesh Shivan. Further director added, “The team will fly to Macau for a schedule of about 10 days to shoot the last song.” Podaa Podi also casts veteran actress Shobana, Saranya Mohan and Poonam Kaur in the pivotal roles.
Simbu is back from Las Angels and got back to the sets to revive the shooting of Podaa Podi, which had hit the floors in 2009. Dharan is composing the music for Podaa Podi, of which ‘Love panlama venama...' track became chartbuster with the trailer.
STR, who has recently come back from Las Angels after recording his Love Anthem, is busy shooting for Vettai Mannan.
Nelson is directing multi-starrer Vettai Mannan that casts Simbu, Hansika, Jai, Poonam Kaur and Deeksha Seth in the leads. The movie was put on standstill for about 2 months, as Silambarasan was away to Las Angels and now Vettai Mannan team is back into shooting sets recently. “Back to shoot after like almost 2 months !!! Feels so grt to hear start camera action :),” tweeted Simbu.
Yuvan Shankar Raja is composing background for Vettai Mannan, which will showcase Hansika as the gangster. While Shakthi is handling cinematography, SS Chakravarthy is producing the movie under Nic Arts banner and Anthony Gonsalves will be taking care of editing.

Crazy director Puri Jagannath has the knack of wrapping up the shooting of big ticket film in relatively less number of working days. He proved that with Mahesh's 'Businessman' and is gearing up to repeat the same magic with 'Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu' starring Powerstar Pawan Kalyan.
Puri announced the release date of 'Businessman' on the day of Muhurat and it worked wonders for all the people who were associated with the film. He once again followed the same strategy, but this time with Pawan Kalyan's 'Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu'.
"Though I tried several times to team up with Pawan Kalyan garu who gave me life with 'Badri', somehow the plans got delayed due to various reasons. 'Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu' is my 25th film as director and I'm very happy to do this film with Pawan. This the story of a news reporter. It is a different action film, which will have all the elements that fans and audience expect from Pawan Kalyan. The regular shooting would kickstart from May 2nd week and the film will be released worldwide on October 18," said Puri.
Huge expectations were riding on the crazy combo of Pawan-Puri. Let's wish both of them delivers another smashing hit at the Box Office!!!
Dialogue King Sai Kumar’s son aadi has got a wonderful debut in Tollywood with decent hit of ‘Prema Kavali.’ In fact, he proved to be the right son for a proud father as action, dances, dialogue delivery and emotions…what not…aadi excelled in all the departments. Taking a good break in search of good script, the young hero has all hopes pinned upon second release ‘Lovely’ directed by B. Jaya.
Talking to media at audio launch function, ‘Mahesh Babu is an inspiration. I’ve got in mind the style and image of Mahesh. I tried my best to project aadi in similar way,’ is said by Jaya. Inner sources say that even poster designs and costumes of aadi in ‘Lovely’ resembled Mahesh Babu. Let us see, how strong aadi can become a follower of Prince?
Nowadays, it is hardly seen that star heroes attending the audio release functions or other events of small budget movies. However, Power Star Pawan Kalyan and Stylish Star Allu Arjun are said to have broken the ice as both of them attended to the audio release functions of two small budget movies. Pawan Kalyan attended hero Nitin's 'Ishq' movie's audio release function and blessed the hero for the success. Fortunately, the movie did very well at the box office and gave a new life to Nitin as a hero. Similarly, Allu Arjun attended the audio release function of a very small budget movie, 'Ee Rojullo'. The movie is waiting for release.
Seems like Prince mahesh babu has got inspired from the above heroes and he attended the audio release function of a small budget movie, 'Lovely' which starrer Aadi, the son of dialogue king Sai Kumar. Whatever it is, it is a good sign of star heroes encouraging small budget movies and their heroes. Good going.
Missing of pawan kalyan at ‘Rachcha’ audio launch has got an answer from Ramcharan and Chiranjeevi on the same stage. Although few of their Fans are pacified with this reply but some were really doubtful on this. Now, many more forceful speculations on formation of a virtual divide in Mega family will get the ground because pawan kalyan attended the formal launch of his flick ‘Cameraman Ganga Tho Ram Babu’ today.
When did Pawan come from America completing the special effects work for ‘Gabbar Singh’? Is it true that Pawan was that busy finding no time to attend ‘Rachcha’ function? A flood of questions are to hit the Mega Fans. Wish that everything will get settled once entire Mega family attends an event…of which best can be the near program of ‘Gabbar Singh’ audio launch.
It is a noted thing that item song has become part of every film. Earlier, it used to be specific item bombshells designed to shake their booty but today their place is being taken by the top league heroines. While all that is okay, another trend seems to be emerging in this item song circuit.
Reports from Mumbai reveal a big hero is setting a new trend by coming up with an item song. He is none other than the mighty heart Salman Khan and we are talking about his movie 'Dabanng 2', the sequel to his blockbuster 'Dabangg'. Sources say Salman would be shaking his leg with his 'Vadina' Malaika Arora Khan.
The line goes 'Pandeyji Maare Seeti…' and the music is composed by Sajid-Wajid. This is being directed by Arbaaz Khan, husband of Malaika. If this track becomes a hit then it is sure that Salman would be setting up a special trend of introducing top league heroes of cinema circuit into item songs.
Loads of talent is making her the most sought after actress these days. But, What shocks us is that a lady of heroine material is resorting to motherly roles. Folks, this is Lakshmi Manchu for you.
After proving her acting prowess as evil queen Irendri in 'Anaganaga O Dheerudu', Lakshmi Manchu entered the big league of women actors. However, the curvy siren is taking careful steps in selecting scripts. Currently, the dusky seductress (off course, she has to prove this angle still) is busy with talented filmmaker Mani Ratnam's 'Kadal' and her own production 'Gundello Godari'. Reportedly, the tall lady is said to be portraying the role of Samantha's mother in this Maniratnam flick. Paired alongside action hero and talented Arjun, both the couple are playing a strict middle class parents, say sources.
Generally after watching LP in Ramu's 'Dongala Muta', one expects to see her sizzle in a ravishing role, than an artistic portrayal. But, interesting characterization and magical screenplay by Mani sir made her bend for this movie, it appears. Let us see, how she woes the audience with her 'acting' extravaganza!
Big stars and directors generally stand first in giving frank opinions about their team and this puts them in a fix sometimes. Our superstar Mahesh Babu had one such moment recently. Here goes the story!
The other day Superstar Mahesh attended a public function where music director Anoop Rubens was another guest. Though Anoop has never worked for Mahesh, there is a connection between them. Popular production house RR Makers signs deals with technicians and actors for a long term, and striking hot Isha Chawla and music-man Anoop are best examples for this. Both need to do five flicks for RR as per the agreement signed.
However, when Anoop is to start work on RR's 'Dookudu', it is Mahesh who has requested for replacement and roped in Thaman. Anoop was heard a little bit disappointed then, with Superstar not believing in his talent and tunes. Later, Anoop rocked the tinsel town with 'Poola Rangadu' and 'Ishq', and is now coming up with 'Lovely'. Onlookers shared that Mahesh is uncomfortable to exchange looks with the music director for a while and everything is alright after some time. Superstar's choices are always different and you should be different to become a Superstar!
One of the recent bumper hits of Tollywood is 'Businessman' and it has reiterated the stand of prince Mahesh Babu as the reigning superstar of Tollywood. In between, there was also a talk that Mahesh would take the same film to Bollywood and mark his debut to capture the hearts of the Hindi audience.
However, here is the latest update. It is heard that 'Businessman' has been finalized in Hindi and this would be directed by Puri Jagannadh while the eccentric genius Ram Gopal Varma is the producer. As for the lead, it is heard that Abhishek Bachchan would be stepping into the shoes of Mahesh Babu.
Currently, RGV is busy with giving the final touches to his movie 'Department' which is scheduled for a release in May. On the other hand, many are waiting to see who would be taking the place of the saucy seductress Kajal Agarwal as the leading lady for Hindi 'Businessman'.
This is the hot gossip that is making rounds in film nagar now. Ram Charan's Racha storyline is pretty similar to Allu Arjun's 'Bunny' movie, which itself was a mix of various commercial potboilers. Bunny did well at the box office to complete the hat-trick of hits for Allu Arjun. Raghu Babu's blind comedy and Devi Sri Prasad's songs played vital role in it.
Sampath Nandi's subject is strikingly similar to Bunny as Racha too has a flashback involving hero's father (played by Parthipan) and the hero fights for a social cause (a problem related to Telangana area. In Bunny it was Polavaram Dam issue). Strong buzz is making rounds in film nagar that Racha might end up as average fare at the box office.
Audio hasn't lived up to the expectations and the trailer looks mediocre and cliched. So a lot will depend upon the comedy factor in this movie. Let's see if it has the required fuel in that department before believing in these rumors.
