Hero Akash is coming up with a new movie titled Ayudha Poratam. He is also wielding the megaphone for this film. This film is being produced by Jaya Balaji Movie Makers and Alipiri Film Productions.
Nuvve Kavali fame Sai Kiran also appears in an important role.
Revealing the details of the film at a press conference Akash said, “It’s a big budget film made with a budget of about seven crores. Story of the movie is very impressive and as the story demanded producers have spent huge amount on the film. We even shot in places like Thailand and Bangkok.”
Shooting of the film has been complete and post production works are going on present.
Anita Reddy and Preeti Meenal are starring opposite Akash.
Since the day of initiation Ravan film has been in news for various reasons. The latest buzz doing rounds regarding Ravan is that Mani Rathnam had shot four climaxes for Raavan.
Hold your breath…It seems that in one of the climaxes Raavan wins Seetha’s heart.
Seetha overcomes Raavan’s tantrums and reaches Rama in another; whereas other two climaxes show Rama dying in one and Ravana dying in another.
Mani had kept everyone guessing as even unit members are not aware of what’s running in his mind.
Already there have been enough controversies around movies showing epics and religious practices in different light. Hope Ravan doesn’t run into controversies.
Pawan Kalyan’s much awaited Puli, is fast reaching the completion stage. Puli’s team is busy making all efforts to release the movie in mid summer.
Re-recording has begun on April 2nd and a couple of songs will be shot from April 10th. Producer Singanamala Ramesh is planning to release the movie on May 14.
While newcomer Nikeesha Patel is making her debut opposite Pawan, other star cast includes versatile actors like Manoj Bajpai, Charan Raj, Girish Karnad and Nazar, among others.
Also the film boasts of two big names of Indian film industry in the form of music director AR Rehman and cinematographer Binod Pradhan. Binod Pradhan had done cinematography for films like Rand De Basanti and Munnabhai MBBS.
Being directed by SJ Suryah who had given a stylish look to Pawan with Kushi film, Puli has been the highly expected film of the season and the team are working hard to reach those expectations.
Cute young hero Ram’s ‘Rama Rama Krishna Krishna’ is one of the sought after movies of this summer. Keeravani is the music director for the film and it’s his 200th film.
Dil Raju is producing it in the direction of Srivas. Talkie part of the movie is complete and post production works are going on at a brisk pace.
Dil Raju is making arrangements to release the audio of the film on April 9th on a grand scale.
Senior hero Arjun will appear in a special role. Ram will romance with two beauties Bindu Madhavi and Priya Anand in this movie.
It’s said that his character consists of two shades: one of a sincere guy and another of a cheerful guy.
Wide eyed ‘Anand’ girl Kamalinee Mukherjee is back to Telugu films after a long gap. Though Kamalini received critical acclaim and a sizeable fan following after her debut, she could not achieve commercial success on the same level.
Of late she has not appeared in any Telugu film and has been busy with films in other south Indian languages.
It’s a sweet news for her fans as this Bengali girl is going to star in a film opposite Rajashekar. Natti Kumar is producing this film on Vishaka Talkies Banner. Jonnalagadda Srinivasa Rao is the director. Shooting of this movie starts from April 5th.
The combo of Prabhas and Karunakaran is all set to enthrall the audience this summer with ‘Darling’ film. Producer BVSN Prasad, who had earlier made blockbuster ‘Chatrapati’ with Prabhas, is busy making arrangements for releasing the film on April 23.
This film has been creating quite a buzz in the youngsters owing to its ‘peppy’ cast and crew.
While Prabhas is romancing chirpy Kajal, the latest heart throb of AP youngsters, GV Prakash who had given hit music for Karunakaran’s last film ‘Ullasanga Uthsanhaga’, has once again been doing the musical job for this film.
It is said that Karunakaran who is known for making sweet love stories had included enough action parts in the movie to satisfy Prabhas’ fans.
If there is one director who had made all the Telugus proud in Bollywood it is none other than RGV. You might love or hate his movies but you can’t ignore him. That’s his impact on movie goers. Though he has started his career with Telugu films, eventually went to Bollywood. Since then Telugu film lovers have been missing him.
His latest directorial venture Rakta Charirta has a specialty. And the specialty we are mentioning here is not that it’s based on Paritala Ravi, but it marks the return of RGV to straight Telugu films.
Though he might have been in the thick of activity for the past few years, he has either directed films in Hindi or produced Telugu films being produced by his assistants but never directed a straight Telugu film.
Incidentally it is Rakta Charitra which is being directed by him in Telugu after a very long gap.
NV Prasad and Sanam Naga Ashok Kumar are known for making clean entertainers like ‘Adavari matalaku Ardhale Verule’ and ‘Vasantam’. Their latest film Mounaragam starring Tanish, Madhurima and Suhasini is releasing on 8th. New comer Vijay Balaji is the director.
Young hero Tanish who shot to fame with ‘Nachavule’ has pinned all his hopes on this film. Though Tanish got good reputation for his debut performance, he has not received a hit after that. He is eagerly waiting for the release of Mouna Raagam, hoping that this film made by a big production house would give him the much needed break.
Allari Naresh is one guy in the present young heroes’ lot, who is making movies at a quick pace and also scoring more hits, thanks to his comedy hero image.
He is ready with his latest laugh riot Betting Bangarraju. This film will be released on April 9. Being produced by Usha Kiron Movies in the direction of E Sattibabu this film has already been garnering enough attention due its funky publicity.
New girl Nidhi is making her debut with this film. Shekar Chandra who had given soulful music for ‘Nachavule’ is the music director for the film.
Gamyam fame Gandham Nagaraju penned the dialogues.
It is known that N Shankar, the director of films like Jayam Manadera, is planning to launch a film set in Telangana, in the first week of May. The news is that the film will have the characters of K Chandrasekhar Rao, a political stalwart of the T-movement and K Rosaiah, the Chief Minister, playing real-life roles.
It is speculated that the character of KCR is important in the movie. As the director hails from the T region, his supporters, especially those outside the industry, believe that he will be able to make a good film on the pro-T film.
Only recently, some activists staged a dharna in front of a Film Nagar building, demanding that N Shankar be given a very important post in a film body.
It seems that with the film, the director is sure to gain more fame in the region.
Akkineni Nagarjuna is enthusiastic to endorse products of Multi-National Companies. Speaking at the launch of the Parachute Advanced cooling oil, in the city recently, Nag said that he was planning to act in ad films, in future.
Parachute oil is the first product that has been endorsed by the glamorous actor. He said, “This is my first promo and some are in the pipeline,” indicating that there are more to come from him.
It is learnt that the MNCs are only too keen to rope in Telugu actors, whose appeal has only jacked up the appeal of products ranging from cellulars to colas.
Nag, who enjoys immense popularity amongst all sections of the audiences, is expected to endorse more products in the coming days.
This year, we will see Genelia D'Souza and Shriya Saran making a comeback in Telugu films. The actresses, who have been busy bees in Bollywood and Kollywood, have of late been showing less interest in Tollywood ventures.
However, the twosome have been separately signed by two different producers. While Orange will show Genelia in the role of a student in Melbroune who falls in love with a guy of Indian-origin, played by Ram Charan, Shriya has just been signed by the producers of Don Seenu, opposite Ravi Teja.
The two popular films, Genelia's more important than the other, are expected to re-launch the actresses in a bigger way.
The space, dominantly occupied by the likes of Kajal Agarwal and now Samantha, will be accommodating the pretty girls, very soon.
After playing cameo roles in Arya2 and a bit significant role in the recently-released Maro Charitra, Shraddha Das is all set to play a glamorous role in Prabhas-starrer Darling.
It is learnt that the actress has a good role in the movie. Details of what her character is going to be like are not yet known. Film Nagar sources tell that she will be seen in a song.
It may be noted that Shraddha is turning out to be a good choice for the second fiddle these days. She says that she was happy to act opposite Allu Arjun in Arya2, which was why she agreed to do the film.
She says that she was presented beautifully in the film and also Maro Charitra. She is reported to have said that it is not wrong to 'cross the boundary' if the script/sequence so warrants.
Is she hinting out at playing a bold role, in near future?
Puli and Khaleja have one more thing in common, other than the fact that these two are the most-awaited films in recent Tollwood history. One starring Pawan Kalyan and the other, Mahesh Babu, the films are produced by Singanamala Ramesh on Kanakaratna Movies.
These are also the films that have been unusually delayed and their release date is not in the sight. Well, if Puli has been on the floors for more than 18 months, the Mahesh Babu-Trivikram film saw a grand launch more than a year back.
The sorry fact is that the latter is not releasing sooner than August. With the Pawan Kalyan-SJ Surya film, no one is sure about the date. Die-hard optimists speculate that it will be in May, that's by the very earliest.
Interestingly, Puli has only two songs left to be filmed, while Khalleja is re-scheduled for shooting later. Meanwhile, Mahesh will begin his work for a film to be directed by Sreenu Vaitla.
The question is, has the delay got something to do with the fact that they are produced by the same banner?
Even before the release of Puli, a new film with Pawan Kalyan has been launched. To be directed by Jayanth C Paranje, it will be written by Trivikram Srinivas. Ganesh Babu is producing the film.
The film's songs will be filmed in April and May, and the regular shooting will begin in the month of June. The muhurat shot was directed by Dasari Narayana Rao, at a function held at Taj Krishna.
Jayanth said that it was an exciting day for him. Though a film had been planned in 1998 with Pawan Kalyan, it could not be made (Bavagaru Bagunnara was made, instead). He said that he was happy that a film has been planned with a crazy star like Pawan, after a period of 12 years. The film, says Jayanth, will have two heroines.
Ganesh said that the day was unforgettable in his life. He expressed his thanks for Trivikram. He also said that there was no limit to the budget.
Music Director - Mani Sharma; Cinematography - Binodh Pradhan.
Fresh incidents of violence between rival groups have been reported from Musheerabad, Hyderabad. The communal clashes which erupted in Old city on Sunday night seem to have subdued over the past few hours after AK Khan imposed a curfew in troubled areas. However, a little while go, two groups resorted to clashes in Musheerabad which left 12 people including 2 policemen injured. Apart from property damage, stones were pelted on policemen and vehicles were set on fire. 20 bikes and 4 other vehicles have reportedly been damaged. In retaliation, the police resorted to laticharge and tear gas shells to disperse the crowd.
On the other hand, Osmania University has postponed the MBA and degree exams under its purview due to the clashes in Old city. Fresh dates will be announced soon.
Boyapati Srinu is directing this film. Parachuri Prasad is producing the film under the ‘United Movies’ banner. Nayanatara, Namitha and Sneha Ullal are the lead actresses. Chakri is composing the music.
Larencce-starrer Super Cowboy is all set to release in the first week of April. Directed by Shimbu Devan, it is produced by Kalpathi S Agoram and released in Telugu by Dammalapti Srinivasa Rao, who has acquired its rights.
Saying that cowboy flicks have good amount of popularity in Telugu, Mr. Rao said that the Larencce-starring film has distinct story and screenplay.
Story-wise, the film tells the tale of Red Indians, perhaps told for the first time by any Indian film. Shimbudevan says that, the film draws from a 18th-century saga, and is belongs to the genre of adventure and comedy.
The "adventurous comedy" has a huge set erected on a scale unheard of in the past. A set was constructed by 300 artistes from Kerala, who toiled big time to create it.
Making an adventure flick means the actors training in such skills like horse-riding. And, the lead cast did get trained in horse-riding.
Sandhya, Nasser, Manorama, Senthil, Mouli, Delhi Ganesh, Ramesh Khanna and others are the other cast. Sri Ramakrishna is the dialogue-writer. Music is by GV Prakash. Lawrence has choreographed the dances himself.
Let's hope Larencce registers a hit in Telugu and Tamil, with the film.
Bindu Madhavi has signed on a new film, titled Prathi Roju, in which she is playing a slice-of-life role. In fact, according to its producer V Nagendar and director Raju Rajendra Prasad, the film is a realistic portrayal of real-life incidents.
It stars Ravi Babu in the role of male lead. Shot extensively in places around Hyderabad, the plot of the film has been derived from a real-life incident.
Mr. Raju said that the film will be distinct, in each frame. He promised that the film will force the audience into thinking with every scene.
Chalapathi Rao, MS Narayana, Jayaprakash Reddy, Ayesha Jalil, Duvvasi Mohan, Hema, Harshavardhan, Satyam Rajesh and others are playing important roles.
Shyam Prasen is the music director.
It is not known what genre the film belongs to.
Mani Ratnam has officially announced that the music of his buzzing film 'Raavan' will be launched in April. The film is also almost complete and will release in June according to the direct sources.
Sources also say the songs have come out great under A R Rahman and they will be in perfect harmony with A R Rahman's international success. And A R Rahman has never failed in a Mani film.
‘Raavan’ will be released in June simultaneously all over India in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi versions. Sources also said Mani Ratnam has retained the title 'Raavan' for all the version and Tamil version will not have the striking 'Ashokavanam' as heard before.
With enviable star cast of Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Vikram, Prithviraj and others ‘Raavan’ is one of the biggest and most expected movies of the year.
The music launch is expected to have on dais not only Aishwarya Rai but also Abhishek Bachchan in Chennai.
