RGV Counters Srinu Vaitla @ Twitter

He can be considered as the 'Godfather' for this generation directors. May be he has been running through some rough times at the moment. But that doesn't take any credit away from him who changed the Telugu film industry forever. Yeah, we are speaking about the one and only Ram Gopal Varma, who was once a great director and is now reduced to a publicity freak.

Even though RGV is down, he is never out. His spark and wit are still intact and if anyone tries to laugh at him, he will have to cry for the rest of his life. Recently, Srinu Vailta made fun of Ram Gopal Varma in the film Dookudu by showing his photograph and passing few jocular remarks. RGV watched the film and praised Mahesh Babu's performance. He didn't speak a word about Srinu Vaitla but later came up with a tweet that indicates that 'Srinu Vaitla is flying'. 'Nela Meeda nilabadatledu, hit vachindani midisipadutunnadu' are the terms generally used to describe the people who behave like success got into their heads. RGV didn't mock at Vaitla directly but gave him a tight slap with a sarcastic tweet. Let's see if Vaitla counters this or just hide his face away from Varma forever. 

Dookudu 2nd Week Nizam Theatres List @ Exclusive

Only Salman can do justice to role @ feels Mahesh

Asked for his opinion about who will best suit to be cast in the role of male lead if Dookudu is remade in Hindi, Mahesh Babu told a daily that only Salman Khan can do full justice to the role in Hindi. 
The actor's endorsement of Salman Khan is followed by the general feeling among audience that Salman can pull off the role quite well, because of his unique style in easily being heroic and comic.
Well, Salman may definitely take Mahesh's recommendation as a compliment.  With Salman already having reprised a Mahesh role in the past (Wanted), you can expect him to give a serious consideration to Prince's statements.
Mahesh also said that he has never believed in records and figures.  Dookudu's runaway success has translated into astonishing figures, which are, to say the least, quite unbelievable for a Telugu cinema.

Jr NTR Oosaravelli records

Young Tiger NTR’s upcoming film Oosaravelli directed by Surender Reddy is gearing up for release on October 6. The makers are eyeing on huge openings and are planning to release the film with highest number of prints in NTR’s career.


According to our sources, the movie will release in over 200 screens in Nizam territory alone. The makers are also planning to release the movie in 100 screens in US. If this happens then Oosaravelli is the first film to have these many centres in US thus crossing Mahesh’s recent release Dookudu which was screened in 79 screens. In East Godavari the movie will be screened in 28 screens and it is heard that this figure may go up depending upon the film’s fate. The film has positive buzz in the industry and it is heard that NTR is very confident over the film’s success. He himself is taking active part in movie promotions. Looks like Tollywood is back to its good old days and will witness another super hit in the form of Oosaravelli.

Suriya's mind-blowing intro in '7th Sense'!!

One of the most talked about and much awaited movie of the season is '7th Sense' and now the clock is ticking for it to hit the screens. Meanwhile, inside reports reveal that the introduction scene of hero Suriya in the film would be one of its kind never experienced in Indian cinema before.

It is heard that the scene will have a simultaneous capture of China and Kancheepuram. Sources say huge money was spent on this particular scene as it had to do with graphics. And the arrival of Suriya amidst that backdrop will be another visual extravaganza, as per sources.
Suriya is essaying the role of a circus trapeze artist and also as a monk. He is pairing up with the seductive beauty Shruti Haasan who is essaying the role of a scientist. The film is directed by A R Murugadoss and music is by Harris Jayaraj. Let us wait to see what more surprises the film has to offer.

Chiru training to RamCharan

The age old saying goes 'Like Father, Like Son' and this is something very commonly found among the film families of Tollywood. Usually, the acting phenomenon passes from generation to generation and that's why we have the likes of Akkinenis, Nandamuris, Daggubatis, Konidelas etc..

Now, this comes with proper grooming and training. Currently, it is heard that Megastar Chiranjeevi has been taking few special coaching sessions to his son Ramcharan Tej. Apparently, Chiru was the emperor of Tollywood before he got into politics. Now, it is heard that he has all his eyes on Charan to take the legacy forward.
As a result, it is heard that Chiru has been grooming Charan on things like how he should behave during public functions, how to talk, how to deal with issues, how to behave on the sets, discipline towards acting etc. Only time will tell how much of all this has Charan taken from his father and implemented it. 

'Dookudu' Report On NTR's Table

How much did ‘Dookudu’ collect in which area? Which area has it crossed the record of other films? All these details may not be available with hardcore fans of Mahesh Babu. Even ‘Dookudu’ s producers may not have these details. But NTR has them in full.

From the beginning, NTR is crazy about records. Even before he touched 20, he rubbed Chiranjeevi who ruled the industry from 20 years. After he wiped off all the records with ‘Simhadri’, NTR could not digest the fact that ‘Pokiri’ and ‘Magadheera’ created new records.
 Since then, he is waiting desperately for a chance to beat the records of both the films. In this process, it is heard that he also got full information about the records of ‘Dookudu’. NTR fans reveal that looking at the first three days collection, NTR got worried. But with the last two days collections dropping, he is breathing a sigh of relief.

Can Oosaravelli repeat the same feat

Dookudu has done tremendous business in overseas which is never heard of in the past. This has shown the real potential of Telugu cinema in this territory. Now all eyes are on next big release Oosaravelli. Trade is closely watching this film as it would give the clear picture on overseas business.

If Oosaravelli too rakes in good numbers, then we can come to a conclusion that Telugu cinema’s power over there has certainly grown. If this film gets minimal numbers like in the past then we have to consider that Dookudu is a rare case.
But with Dookudu, overseas market has suddenly picked up and buyers are once again coming up with good offers. Earlier in this year, there is so much slump in overseas trade that buyers only offered little amount to buy few noted films.
