Ram Charan enjoyed with Deepika Padukone

After Chiranjeevi, Pawan Kalyan and Mahesh Babu who have appeared in soft drink commercials, it's Ram Charan Tej’s turn to join Interestingly, he’s the third member of the Chiranjeevi family to be seen endorsing a soft drink. And our guess is he'll soon be doing beauty soaps and creams! But first, the bubbling news. When we called to confirm, Ram expressed amazement and seemed impressed with our networking. Finally, he conceded, "It was just a few hours of work but I enjoyed the unique experience," sounding still surprised.

Working with Deepika Padukone was an experience, he shared. "I had watched Om Shanti Om and liked her work so it was easy to go along. She’s made it big in Bollywood despite beginning her career in the South," he said. Is it true that the shoot was done in Mumbai and not Hyd? Charan confirmed the news but dismissed any allusion we made to ego issues and star status since he had to fly down and she didn't come here. He said, "It's elegantly shot and it's going to look sleek." Well, all we know is that, here's a jodi we'd love to see sizzle on Telugu cinema

The new Pepsi Brand Ambassador – Ram Charan Teja

Replacing the stronghold place of Chiranjeevi, his junior Ram Charan Teja has now been signed up as the brand ambassador to endorse Pepsi in Andhra Pradesh.

Statistics derived says that in India, Thums Up is still the market leader in the states of AP, West Bengal and parts of UP. Megastar of Telugu cinema and the now leader of Praja Rajyam party, Chiranjeevi was once the iconic signature of Thums Up and his endorsement influenced the sales largely in those times.

To break into the market, PEPSICO has roped in Ram Charan and he is going good so far campaigning for the youngistaan ads. The company has hired Chiru’s brother Pawan Kalyan and even his nephew in the past to increase the sales but all turned out vain with their competitors reigning in the state.

But, in reality the manufacturers are still not aware of a fact that why people love Thums Up over other colas, in this era of Pepsi and Coke. Among different colas, Thums Up is the only drink that has a spicy flavor which has found patrons in these particular regions.

It would be good if they understand that it’s not because of the endorsers but the product. For now, we will have to wait and see if Ram Charan would live up to his father’s name.

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.
