Mahesh-Sukumar @ Movie Latest Updates
Samantha @ to do Biryani for young hero
Why Ram @ is better than NTR and Allu Arjun?
Balayya Babu is looted?
Samantha @ Out Of Mani Ratnam's Movie?
Reports from Chennai are saying that Samantha herself has opted out of this movie as she is not able to do justice to the flick. One should have guts to say no to a top notch maker like Mani Ratnam, as people feel that getting a chance in his movie is like a golden dream come true. Authenticity of this news is yet to be verified but Kollywood sources have confirmed that it is Samantha's decision to opt out of this flick.
Earlier, sensational beauties like Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone are considered for this role before signing the dotted line with Samantha. However, there is a chance of some big-wigs interfering into the matter to resolve the crisis, as 70% of Sam babe's part is shot by now. Watch this space for more updates.
Big difference @ between Tollywood & Bollywood
For example, Bollywood star Akshay Kumar's recent film 'Rowdy Rathore' was made on a moderate budget of Rs. 45 crore. The Satellite rights of the film were sold for a massive Rs. 37 crore, Video rights for Rs. 7 crore and Music rights for Rs. 3 crore respectively. These figures clearly show that the film entered into profit zone without even selling its theatrical rights.
Coming to Tollywood, a Top Hero's film will be made on a budget of nearly Rs. 35-40 crores. While the Satellite rights fetch anywhere between Rs. 5-7 crore, the Music rights will be sold for Rs. 1-2 crore. These figures clearly show that nearly 80% of the production cost should be recovered through Satellite Rights and post release business in Tollywood.
Despite Mahesh Babu being the No.1 hero in Tollywood, the satellite rights of 'SVSC' were sold out for Rs 7 crore, which is also the highest amount paid for a Telugu film till date. On the other, Akshay Kumar is not a No.1 in Bollywood, but his films were making moolah. It's not Akshay's films alone, but all Top Heroes films in Bollywood fetch Rs. 30 to 40 crore through Satellite rights. The price of Satellite rights make a big difference in Tollywood & Bollywood. But still, Tollywood (3 films [Magadheera, Dookudu, Gabbar Singh] in Rs. 100 crore club(gross)) is giving a tough fight to Bollywood.
Star Hero @ Inquired About Damarukam?
Now, it is heard that someone else also is showing interest in this project. He is none other than Bollywood Badshah Shahrukh Khan. Lately, the Bollywood folks are falling a lot into Telugu flicks and the Tollywood flicks have scored a big hit in the remake versions.
So now, sources from Mumbai reveal SRK is eyeing 'Damarukam'. Buzz is that basing on the result of the film once it releases, he would take a call. For now, it is heard that he has enquired about the shaping up of the film and is satisfied with the script and its content. Let us see how this goes.
Why @ NTR Skipped Ramanaidu?
Ramanaidu expressed his wish the other day that he wants to produce the remake of yesteryear hit 'Ramudu-Bheemudu'. 'I've expressed my wish to Jr NTR long back and he said yes at that time. Afterwards he is busy with continuous films. We have to see how this works', said Ramanaidu. Cine observers are saying that Jr.NTR's 'Adhurs' has already fulfilled the desire of double action bonanza like 'Ramudu Bheemudu'. Though Ramanaidu is thinking that that old flick suits well for Telugu audiences, surely it will be an outdated story for a hero of Junior's stature.
May be this Nandamuri Hero is unable to convince the same to 'Movie Moghul' as respect always comes in the middle to giving such answers to senior producers. On the other hand, Ramanaidu is keen to remake some yesteryear hits of ANR with Naga Chaitanya too. Watch this space for more updates.
Ram @ Upset for Tamanna Domination
Apparently, news is that Ram felt his role was quite underplaying and he is reportedly angry with Karunakaran for giving a bigger scope for the leading lady Tamannah. Reports are arriving that after the movie, the milky white beauty is being remembered for her presence and character and not Ram.
So far, the film has been getting a mixed reaction from the critics and audience. But there are those who say the real picture will be known once this weekend passes. But if Ram's character has gone down in graph as compared to Tamannah then it could work as a negative for the film.
Pawan Kalyan @ Direction for RamCharan Movie
Pawan fans still feel a bit that he can't do such roles anymore due to age factor. Powerstar has special set of skills in pulling off those roles. His contribution for those films on the creative side is priceless. As per the buzz Pawan Kalyan is planning to write a script on the lines of Toli Prema and Tammudu soon.
Pawan is working on it to make a film with Ram Charan in the lead. Charan is currently following Chiranjeevi's path by making mass movies. But his age suits the best for romantic films. However, Charan doesn't have a clue about such films. Pawan Kalyan being a master at it is scripting a story that can give Charan that cult following among the youth. One of Pawan Kalyan's favorite directors or Pawan himself will wield the megaphone for this film. It will be made on Pawan Kalyan Creative Works banner. Stay tuned for the big news!

Knowledge Topology Pawan Kalyan Gabbar Singh is continuing its strengthened run across most territories and the flick is on bar to set new Box State records. Collections were implausibly toughened penultimate weekend and if the direction continues this weekend as considerably, wait few stunning book for the enter. GabbarSingh has already made punchers to all the subsequent movies( like daruvu,adinayakudu )released including todays Hero Ram’s Endukante Premanta release as the movie has received a mixed talk. Fact that post Gabbarsingh movies faced a bad fate even after getting average talk as they could not with stand in front of Gabbarsingh . Harish Shankar has scored approve to aft hits with this picture and he is in great responsibility now. Maker Ganesha has produced the movie on Parameshwara Art Productions flag and Devi Sri Prasad has scored the euphony.
Mahesh @ Upset with losses Rumors
Rumors have been making rounds that RR Movie Makers lost money in Mahesh Babu's Businessman. This is due to the share taken by Puri and Mahesh Babu it seems! As per the agreement Mahesh or Puri would get the share in profits, which would be shared after the film completes it run in theaters. RR Movie Makers distributed the film in most of the areas besides producing it.
So they can't simply give away the share of Puri and Mahesh after first week. Five months after the release calling a successful film a loss venture is just baseless rumor. This is upsetting Mahesh fans as well as the star that stays in constant touch with fans and the day to day happenings.
Allu Aravind @ introducing Upasana to TFI
According to reliable sources, Allu will be hosting a function at Hotel Grand Kakatiya Today. Can anyone guess what's the special occasion? He would be formally introducing Ram Charan's fiancee Upasana Kamineni to the Telugu Film Industry. Prominent Telugu personalities, including Top Heroes, Actors, Directors, Producers and Technicians would be gracing the event.
The wedding of Charan and Upasana will take place on June 14 in the farm house of Kaminenis. Chiru has decided to live telecast the entire marriage ceremony through MAA for his fans all over the world. A grand reception would be held on the same day in Hyderabad itself.
Forced Lip Kisses @ In Telugu S-Films
We are seeing big heroes like Mahesh and Pawan doing a peck on the lips of their heroines in an aesthetic way. But our so called small movies are taking different turn about this. They simply want their young actors to chew eachother's lips before the camera. You can take any small-budgeted movie released in the last one year to observe this. In fact, all the hero and heroines of these films are youngsters who wandered on roads with the slogan 'okka chance'. Our so called intelligent makers are simply cashing on their weakness by actually roping in unwanted lip kisses, says a critic.
While some girls and boys are staying away from that, some have no other chance than to accept it. We can say that our makers are outputting dumb movies because of their unwanted interests for these kisses.
Review @ ENDUKANTE PREMANTA
Rating: 2.5/5
Cast : Ram, Tamanna, Rishi, Sayaji Shinde, Brahmanandam, Suman and others
Directed by : Karunakaran
Produced by : Sravanthi Ravi Kisho
Banner : Sri Sravanthi Movies
Music : GV Prakash Kumar
Release Date : 2012-06-08
Story:
Ram (Ram) and Sravanthi (Tamanna) meets in Paris in an unusual situation. They turn friends and both their destiny is the same. They need money and passports to get away from there. Sravanthi helps Ram to reach India from Paris and she too finds a way to come there. However, Ram comes to know that there is something he doesn’t know about Sravanthi. This will set a goal for him in life.
Analysis:
Endukante Premanta is a complicated storyline which deals with illogical elements. In a way it is a romantic fantasy. Director failed to get the perfect balance between fantasy and reality. The film is illogical throughout. Despite offering few entertaining scenes here and there the film falls short of entertainment.
Director didn’t do much homework on the script and it is evident in each and every scene. None of the scenes touches you. Love story is half baked. The chemistry between the lead pair is absolutely absent. May be the storyline doesn’t demand intimacy between the lead pair, but that doesn’t mean love should be non-existent.
Endukante Premanta is inspired from the film Just Like Heaven. Director failed to adopt it to our style. Due to lack of proper work on the script it falls flat. On a whole Endukante Premanta is a badly done film with half baked story.
Performances:
Ram was energetic. He did his best to the role. His performance was lovable and his presence was adorable. He has put in extra efforts in the dances to enthrall his fans. Tamanna did well as the damsel in distress. She was gorgeous in close ups. Rishi was just Okay as the villain. Sayaji Shinde was nice. Brahmanandam provides few laughs. Anu Hassan was decent. Kona Venkat didn’t make his presence felt. Krishna Bhagavan was alright. Rest of the cast did a fair job.
Technicalities:
Prakash Kumar’s music was a letdown. Much needed Melody was completely missing. Background score was not up to the mark. Editing could have been better. Cinematography was an asset. Andrew’s camera work stands out. Dialogues were neat.
Karunakaran, who is known for making feel good romantic entertainers, faltered this time. Story and screenplay were the weak links. The director in him could have lifted the spirits but somehow brand Karunakaran was absent in this film.
Final Word:
Endukante Premanta lacks the soul and feel that are much needed for this type of films. Except for few funny sequences, the film offers nothing to any section of audience. The concept too isn’t universally acceptable.
