Dil Raju's 'Maro Charithra' begins on 19th

The latest version of 'Maro Charithra' will be produced by 'Dil' Raju, the lucky mascot of Telugu industry.
The black and white film 'Marocharithra' (1979) starring Kamal Haasan and Saritha was directed by veteran director K Balachandar. The story of true love that blossoms between a Tamil boy and a Telugu girl was portrayed so beautifully and touching on screen which made it a big hit in the time. Again, it was remade in Hindi titled 'Ek Duje Keliye' (1981) which was the debut film in Bollywood for Kamal, Rathi Agnihotri (in Saritha's character) and SP Balasubramaniam (Singer). The most famous romantic songs like 'Eh thiga poovunu Ee komma' in Telugu and which is 'Tere Mee Bechume' in Hindi were the biggest classic hits of all time.
The Telugu and Hindi versions of the film ran for complete 365 days in Hyderabad about three decades ago.
For the younger generation, the newer version will be presented in a modernized style starring young actor Varun Sandesh in the lead and directed by Bollywood cinematographer, Ravi Yadav. The movie launch will be held on 19th of this month, at 8 O'clock in the morning at 'Dil' Raju's office premises.

Will 'Puli' and 'Nana Puli' ever come?

A story in our ancient folklore narrated to us during our childhood days goes like this: There was once a shepherd boy, who was bored while keeping a watch on the sheep. To amuse himself he cried "Puli! Nana Puli! Nana Puli" (Eng: "Tiger! Tiger! The tiger is chasing the sheep") but in the end nothing came for real. Most of us remember the moral of this story.

In case, if you don't, Mahesh Babu is reminding us the moral again and again. He’s not trying it as a theme in his movie but the dates…postponed dates…again postponed dates…whew! of his film with Trivikram Srinivas ‘Varudu’ stands as the perfect example.

With much expectation, fans are eager but they are being lured and dragged with the launch date which is getting amended ever since a year. The last known news was it is supposed to commence on 18th February. Please spare us for making this latest report which says its on 28th (Huh!). But, as we all are well aware by now, it’s no surprise if one more change occurs. After all, the makers have 365 days in a year to juggle with but fans are already losing their buoyant expectations over the film.

Producer Singanamala Ramesh Babu began two consecutive productions, the first being ‘Komaram Puli’ with Pawan Kalyan under the direction of SJ Suryah. With sixty percent complete, the film is stalled temporarily as Pawan is busy working as president of Yuva Rajyam. Mahesh Babu’s is the next in the line and both these huge budget films are in the shelf since sometime now. Apparently, both these flicks have turned out as ‘Puli’ and ‘Nana Puli’ which might not come, in this case go to the floors for now as far as we know. No one knows when Puli will commence nor Nana Puli will begin for sure. The spirit of fans is draining out slow and with this dilemma they might seek solace in some other way than depending on their stars’ films which are elusive so far.

Vishal to remake Sowryam?

Sources insist that Tamil action-hero Vishal plans to remake Sowryam (also spelled Souryam), the Gopichand-Anushka starrer directed by cinematographer-turned-director Siva and produced by V. Ananda Prasad under Bhavya Creations banner.

Vishal's Satyam, starring Nayantara was simultaneously produced in Telugu as Salute. Both versions did well and now, Vishal is concentrating on his next project, Thoranai. Recently, it is said that Vishal watched Sowryam and liked it so much that he now plans to remake the film in Tamil, starring himself.

Gopichand, who has specialized in playing the angry young man, has enacted his role very well in Sowryam. Vishal, who has so far portrayed similar angry young hero roles in Tamil films, was pleased seeing how the main role had been developed. He immediately contacted the producers and reports say that apart from a few minor changes to suit cultural differences, the original script of Sowryam will remain.

With Vishal's lightning fast moves on screen and flashing eyes, he is sure to turn Sowryam's winning script into a Tamil blockbuster.

Anushka in Mahesh Babu’s Varudu?

The long awaited film of Mahesh Babu, tentatively titled as Varudu, directed by Trivikram Srinivas is finally going on to floors on February 18, but without Parvathi Melton.
Parvathi was announced as the female lead for the film, but the shooting of the film was delayed by almost 6 months. It is reported that Parvathi’s mother met with an accident and she had to go to take care of her mother and so dropped herself from the project.
According to reports, Ileana and Nayantara were contacted and talks are on with Anushka, whose film Arundhathi is breaking all box office records.
Anushka is now shooting for Prabhas’ Billa and said to be the most ikely candidate to replace Parvathi Melton in Mahesh Babu’s film.

Pawan's Puli Movie Actress '''Nikesha Patel''''!!!!

Hansika stepped out of Puli citing dates problems and a new actress named Nikesha Patel has stepped into her shoes.

This is the first ever film for model-turned-actress Nikesha. She has a background in modeling, besides doing a lot of commercials and theatre. She is also a popular mime artiste in London. She is also one of the finalists in 2006 Miss Wales beauty pageant.
Nikesha can consider herself as very lucky as she bagged a big film that too opposite a big star like Pawan Kalyan. However, none of the heorines who were introduced opposite Pawan Kalyan (Preity Jhangiani, Amisha Patel, Renu Desai, Neha Uberoi etc.) clicked in Tollywood. Hope Nikesha changes this sentiment and shine for few years in Tollywood.

Srikanth Addela to direct Chiranjeevi

Srikanth Addela, who rose to fame with his low-budget teenage romance Kotha Bangaru Lokam, has now been roped in by Chiranjeevi to direct promotional films and documentaries focusing on his Praja Rajyam Party (PRP).

Chiranjeevi, who has put in over 3 decades in the Telugu film industry as actor and producer, besides various other avatars, knows that visual presentation goes a long way in impressing his fans. So he has roped in some fresh talent that does not belong to any political camp to window dress his campaign by making some very insightful documentaries and ad films on Chiru and his newly-launched Praja Rajyam Party that would stand out from the usual crop of poll-time promos.

Sources say that Chiranjeevi met Srikanth Addela and conferred with the hot shot director about how best to present Praja Rajyam Party and Chiranjeevi's party ideologies. It seems that Srikanth Addela was brimming over with ideas for the ad films and documentaries that will centre on PRP's political campaign.

These sources also claim that Srikanth Addela is being remunerated handsomely for his work.

Neetu Chandra: Dr. Rajasekhar misbehaved with me

Dr. Rajasekhar's latest find Neetu Chandra recently alleged that the senior hero behaved badly with her during the shoot of his latest film, Sathyameva Jayathe, which is being directed by Jeevitha Rajasekhar.

Neetu's allegations appeared in a Mumbai newspaper and the juicy bit of gossip was picked by the media all over the country. According to the newspaper, Neetu has alleged that though she was suffering from a high fever and had gone to her dressing-room to rest, both Dr. Rajasekhar and his wife barged into her room and started shouting at her to come out and finish her shot immediately. Neetu also said the senior hero was under the influence of alcohol and that both Jeevitha and her husband were threatening her verbally.

A visibly frightened Neetu claimed she was forced to finish her scenes though it was apparent to everyone present that she was very sick. She said that she somehow managed to complete the shoot, rushed back to the hotel where she was staying and packed her bags with the help of her personal assistant. The two then rushed directly to the airport at 2:30 a.m., even though her flight to Mumbai was only at 9:30 a.m.

When the Rajasekhars were contacted, Jeevitha replied saying that it was Neetu who behaved unprofessionally and kept the entire unit waiting for a shoot that was wrapped up within 1½ half hours. The director also maintained that there was no response to repeated phone calls once Neetu had packed and left the shooting spot.

While it is anyone's guess as to what really transpired, Neetu has declared that she will be reporting the matter to the concerned authorities.

Nagarjuna starrer King, directed by Srinu Vaitla and produced by D. Siva Prasad Reddy under Kamakshi Kala Movies banner, was released on Christmas Day and is running to packed houses worldwide. Being Nagarjuna’s last movie of 2008, King was welcomed with a bumper opening and was declared a super hit in the first week.

The movie is receiving rave reviews and public praise all over Andhra Pradesh and even nation-wide. Nagarjuna’s 3 get-ups, Brahmanandam’s trademark humour and of course, effervescent Trisha and dazzling Mamta Mohandas have proved to be a magical mixture that is drawing people to theatres in droves

With all the talk of King, Trisha, one of the queens of Telugu and Tamil films, decided to watch the movie in a theatre among enthusiastic audiences to gauge people’s reactions first-hand. Since her appearance in public would create havoc, Trisha used the age-old ruse of concealing her beauty in a 'burqa' and going to a theatre in Chennai to watch the public being enraptured by King. Safely concealed in the 'burqa', Trisha enjoyed the movie with the rest of the audience, who were unaware of the celebrity in their midst.

Anushka Demanded Rs. 1 crore for bikini act?

Billa starring Ajit and Nayantara was the super-hit of 2007. It is now being remade in Telugu with Prabhas in Ajith’s role. Anushka, the sensuous siren has agreed to play Nayantara’s part along with her daring appearance in the black bikini.

Reportedly, Anushka was okay with wearing a bikini but agreed to do the scene only if the producers gave her a breathtaking Rs. 1 crore. Sources say the producers agreed without batting an eye-lid.

Billa’s shooting happened extensively in Malaysia in what is known as Little India. The treatment of the entire film was very youthful and stylish with a cutting edge to it as appropriate for a mafia movie. Audiences lapped up the razor-sharp cinematography, background music and costumes along with the actors’ sleek good looks and physiques.

The producers of the Telugu version are planning to film the movie in a similar manner. Anushka, whose recent sizzling performance in Baladoor had male hearts racing, will no doubt give a great performance as a mafia don’s moll who out to take revenge. She has acted in her one and only Tamil film Rendu opposite Madhavan, which didn’t make much of an impact at the box-office.

Now that Anushka’s demanded and got her Rs. 1 crore, she has become the second heroine since Ileana to reach that figure.

Sony BMG to grab Komaram Puli

Tagged with international label, Sony BMG music entertainment entered Telugu music market by releasing the sound track of ‘Nenu Meeku Telusa’, their first ever Telugu film music album. Now Sony is bidding for Komaram Puli’s music rights for a huge amount of about Rs 2 crores. It is really surprising to note this giant amount offered by Sony for a regional language film. But the fact is that, Sony, after going through the calculations like Pawan’s earlier film ‘Jalsa’ setting records in its audio sales despite the piracy and online-downloading and also being the only film in the recent past to have earned a lump sum amount with mobile ring tones. This apart the crazy combination of Pawan and S J Suryah, India’s renowned company Reliance partnering this project and the music emperor A R Rahman’s music composition for ‘Komaram Puli’ put together made Sony bid a striking price as it will be benefited by all means. Well, if all goes well and is fine, then Pawan Kalyan will be the real ‘Puli’.
