Can ‘Cine Varasatwam’ Be Stopped With This? 2007-10-02 10:31:00 “Can’t the young guys other than the sons of big heroes become heroes on screen?” when the question is posted for public to send SMS 53 percent said, &lsquo
;Yes- They can’t become’ and 47 percent said, ‘No-They can’. This says that majority people are saying that only big hero’s sons can become heroes.
Can there be any brake for this ‘cine varasatwam’?
A naughty answer said, “Yes, the varasatwam can be stopped in Tollywood only when all big heroes beget only girl children”.
That appears to be an interesting answer where no encouragement will be given for the beautiful daughters of big heroes. When Krishna’s daughter Manjula tried to venture as heroine, the fans have made it an issue and asked her to sit at home. Balakrishna’s daughter Brahmani, although a beautiful girl, is not given any encouragement to be an actress. But the scenario is otherwise in Bollywood.
Some other says, “The big heroes

Reel Buzz: YVS Choudary Crossed The Limits! 2007-10-13 17:26:00
It’s about the film ‘Okkamagadu’. The budget of the film has gone beyond the limit with the over enthusiasm of YVS Choudary. YVS, the ardent devotee of NTR and big lover of Nandamuri family is planning to make ‘Okka Magadu’ as ‘Na bhootho na bhavishyathi’ (nothing in past and in future) in the career of Balakrishna. He is investing big sum in that and got drained much before the completion of the shooting of the film.
But a few good financiers who are also the devotees of Balakrishna and fans of YVS came forward to invest knowing the theme of the film. That’s the greatness of Balayya and YVS, we can say. The fate turned positive for the film and it is getting completed up to the dreams and expectations of YVS. The financiers are saying that the film would be a sensational hit and YVS is making it with utter perfection.
So we may see a very wonderful picture of Balakrishna in this film. He is portraying dual role in it as father and son. Simran, Aushka and Nisha Kotha Read more:Limits
Reel Talk: Mohan Babu Acts In Telugu ‘Sarkar’ 2007-10-13 17:24:00
Sorry! We are not saying that RGV’s ‘Sarkar
’ is going to be made in Telugu
. It is a separate film on a whole. The film is going to be made with Mohan Babu in lead role. The Rayalaseema faction theme and Mohan Babu’s ersatz rule in one of the places falls the main theme of the film. The details of the film are yet to be known and Mallidi Satyanarayana Reddy, the producer of ‘Dhee’ is going to make this film.
Already Mohan Babu acted in ‘Rayalaseema Ramanna Choudary’. Although the word Rayalaseema is there in that, it was a film based on family issues and land settlements and there was no faction in that. Now we have to see what faction Mohan Babu is going to show.
Grapevine says that producer is trying to pull Sobhana for the female role in it on the interest of Mohan Babu. So, are we going to see ‘Rowdy gari Pellam’ pair once again?
Who says Rani and I are at loggerheads, asks Abhishek 2007-10-13 17:24:00
Mumbai (IANS) Putting aside rumours about Rani Mukerji being ostracised by the Bachchan camp, Abhishek
Bachchan says they are still good friends and that he would love to work with her again.
“Who says Rani and I are at loggerheads? Such talk hasn’t affected our friendship at all,” Abhishek told IANS on phone from Namibia where he’s shooting for Goldie Behl’s “Drona”.
“Strangely we’ve played husband and wife in most of our films together, including ‘Hum Tum’, where I came in, got married to her and was ousted from the script. Rani is a superb actor and we’ve done some truly challenging work together. You have to see her in ‘Laaga Chunari Mein Daag’. I hope to do many more films with her.”
The presence of his mother in the film has made the movie extra special for him, says Abhishek.
“I got to work with mom (Jaya). I had done a cameo in a Bengali f
Reel Talk: Two Old Titles Creating Interest! 2007-10-13 17:23:00 ‘State Rowdy’- The title itself flashes Chiranjeevi on our mind’s screen. ‘Premabhishekam’- The title reminds Akkineni Nageshwara Rao. One is a hardcore action flick of 80s and the other is a love-failure subject created by Dasari Narayana Rao. It is known that the same titles are being used now for two films along with tag lines that spill laughs.
‘State Rowdy’-Veediki Antha Scene Ledhu is the one being done by Sivaji in lead role. It is the remake of Tamil film ‘Ediri’. It shows how a guy manages the artificially tagged ‘Rowdy’ image to win his love. We can imagine what will be the content in the film.
‘Premabhishekam-Veediki Cancer Ledhu’ is the film with Venu Madhav in lead role. Interest
ingly it’s Dasari who is penning script for this film. We have to see if Venu Madhav imitates ANR in this film. How Dasari himself making a comedy satire on his own classic hit? That we have to see!

Comparison Between ‘Chirutha’ and ‘Happy Days’ 2007-10-13 17:20:00
There appears to be only one formula to get big openings for small films. It is sure that big films need not have very big pre-release publicity. If they do, that adds a little extent for the openings. But small films definitely need publicity. Many small directors and producers assume that the audiences would gush into theaters if they arrange for 4 press meets and 40 posters before the release. Today, even distributors are not coming forward for such hype. The only thing that pumps in life for the collections of any film is &lsquo
;good mouth publicity’. That is possible only when the film comes out well. Small directors and producers have no other way other than making films in very interesting way. Right story, right screenplay and right interesting element are the core points for success. All this makes a film get good collections.
Just comparing between ‘Chirutha’ and ‘Happy
Days’, the former has one and o Read more:Happy Days
Talk: Radhika Says Girls Should ‘Change’ 2007-10-13 17:19:00
Actress Radhika
says that Telugu girls should change their mind set. In a short interview given freshly Radhika said that Telugu directors and producers are going behind Mumbai actresses as they are not finding local girls those are in tune with their expectations and interests.
“Things were different during our time. Now if Telugu girls change themselves and come forward with real zeal and enthusiasm, why don’t our directors give opportunities? The only thing our girls should do is to be in tune with the interests and expectations of directors”, she says.
But what is the meaning of ‘to be in tune with the expectations’? There is no clarity in that. Must be Radhika implies that they should be good actresses with talent. But are our Mumbai girls talented? Then what Radhika is saying!!!!

Rumors: Confusions, Ins and Outs With ‘Don’! 2007-10-13 17:17:00
The film ‘Don’ has been undergoing shooting from many months. Till now the publicity winds are not blowing from this film. It is still in making. Do you know the reason for its delay? When inquired, the inside sources informed that Lawrence started the film abruptly narrating the story line to Nagarjuna. But he hasn’t prepared the script for second half.
It is said that knowing that, Nagarjuna reprimanded Lawrence and asked him to sit on the script work first. He gave enough time to him although gave shunting all the while. It took 3 months for Lawrence to bring second half to a shape with line order and dialogues. Then the shooting started again. So, 3 months of time is a mere hibernation in the shooting of ‘Don’.
We all know that Lawrence is not only directing the film but also doing dance direction and scoring music for it. We have to see what dish he prepares at last.

Buzz: Venkatesh Did That In Single Shot 2007-10-17 16:29:00
There is a scene in the song ‘Tulasi’ where Venkatesh brushes a yellow paint just beside the cleavage of Nayantara. The song is ‘Nee kallathoti naa kallu …’. It is said that big heroes in general take many takes while shooting such scenes. They like to repeatedly do such naughty scenes saying that the perfection needs to come. Nayantara also expected that Venkatesh would repeat the scene many times.
But Venkatesh is different from others, say the unit members. It seems that he completed that shot just in single take and the director said ‘ok’.
Venkatesh is very dignified and gentle with heroines and Nayantara also said the same in a recent interview. Venkatesh is not at all naughty with heroines off the screen. He minds his own work and leaves for home, once work completes, say people. He never likes to develop friendly and intimate relations with heroines.
