Gifts For Mohan Babu, Rajamouli and NTR

The image “http://www.greatandhra.com/newsimages/rajamouli1191655845.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Rajamouli said that the film 'Yamadonga' gave three gifts for three people worked for it.

He said, "Mohan Babu garu has been the great comedian, villain and hero. He felt very happy playing Yama and also the audiences have got the chance to see him in that role. That's a gift for Mohan Babu garu and he himself claimed that. Then Tarak (NTR) reduced a lot for the film and he said that the film turned out to be a gift for him that way. And coming to me, the film is a gift because it boosted the confidence in me that I can make a mass appealing mythological movie".

Rajamouli also said that he is going to make a film with mythological story line and not yet decided what to make.

Reel Talk: Shriya's Up In TN and down in AP

The image “http://www.greatandhra.com/newsimages/shriya11191683667.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Shriya's career in Tamil is on the top but in Telugu that's not so impressive. She stopped at the point of item songs in Telugu.

It is also said that Shriya is demanding very big remuneration followed by her selection in Kandasamy (Mallanna in Telugu). Shankar wanted to re-shoot a few scenes for Hindi version of Shivaji. Although Rajni Kanth is fairly available, the dates of Shriya are not available. Actor Simbu is also planning to groove her as heroine in his film. Her remuneration is now Rs 75 lakh in Tamil. But still Shriya is not signing on new projects for the fear of dates' problems.

It is declared that Shriya is now giving tough fight for Trisha in Tamilnadu.

Reel Buzz: Ilayaraja Is Giving Worst Music!

The image “http://www.greatandhra.com/newsimages/Ilayaraja1191659107.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Ilayaraja has been the Tansen of Tollywood for many decades. His music brought big revolution in the industry. But what happened now for him?

Except the tunes given for 'Anumanaspadam', his mark has completely lost everywhere. He gave tunes for a small film 'Sunny'. The promos are hitting the small screen promoting it showing the title 'MUSIC BY MAESTRO ILAYARAJA' in big bold letters. But the tunes are too horrible to listen. Were they really tuned by Ilayaraja? That doubt comes for everyone.

Similarly Ilayaraja has given tunes for a film called 'Shambhu' a few years back in which Aryan Rajesh was the hero. Even that was turned down miserably and the audio proved to be a big flop.

Why Ilayaraja is showing these ups and downs? Is that due to lacking creativity!

Allu Arjun Boasts His Loyalty To Ram Charan

Downing the curtains for the assumptions that a competition rift has started between Ram Charan and Allu Arjun, the latter came out with his statements freshly in an interview.

He said, "Vaadu (Ram Charan) chaala intelligent. He (Ram Charan) has great grasping that a dancing step that we learned after practicing for 15 days was done by him in two days. Then I understood the power of genes and blood".

Saying about Ram Charan's relation with him, "My father has been loyal to Chiranjeevi garu. But I will prove that I'm more loyal to Ram Charan. I'm here like this only because of Chiranjeevi garu. Without him I'm no where. Till now I have only one Chiranjeevi garu. But now I have two Chiranjeevis".

He also added saying, "I'm not surprised looking at Ram Charan's dance and fights. I know he will do that way. I also don't say thanks to fans sitting in the status of Chiranjeevi's family member. I'm also a fan here".

That's how Arjun came out with his feelings.

Chiranjeevi gives breather for Cong, TD

The image “http://www.greatandhra.com/newsimages/chiranjeevi21191632588.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

The "October 2 deadline" has passed and there's no news of film actor Chiranjeevi announcing a new political party in the near future. Though this is not something good news for lakhs of his followers and those belonging to his social group, the ruling Congress and the main Opposition Telugu Desam are a happy lot. The TRS too has taken a breather. But the baron of a media group, who has been thinking of a third alternative force in the State with the film actor in the lead, is also said to be unhappy over the "continued prolonged" delay by Chiranjeevi in announcing his own political party.

According to sources, the film actor is right now not keen on forming a new political party. He wants to study the political situation and then come out with his future plans. Moreover Chiranjeevi has still much of his film career left and if he jumps into politics, he has to leave the film industry once and for all. The film actor is weighing all the pros and cons before coming to a conclusion.

The Congress and the TD are happy over the delay. A delay of a few more months means that there will be no Chiranjeevi political party for the next Assembly polls. With hardly 18 months left for the next polls, the film actor has to announce the party now or wait for yet another poll due for 2014. But it will be too late. The new political party has to settle down and it needs at least one year. It took nine years for NTR to drive his nascent Telugu Desam to victory in 1982-83. If Chiranjeevi does not come out with the announcement before February 2008, it means that there will be a direct fight between the Congress and the Telugu Desam in May 2009 polls.

Gossip: Nayantara Offered Everything Except That!

The image “http://www.greatandhra.com/newsimages/nayanatara11191633060.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Nayantara, after getting enough of mileage in both positive and negative forms by Simbhu in Tamilnadu, she shifted her abode to Hyderabad. She is moving close with Telugu actors and producers. Gossip zones didn't leave her but not harming her image in big way. There are some gossips that Nagarjuna is her guardian now.

Keeping that aside, freshly a Nayantara's dialogue with a young handsome producer was underlined by many in Film circles.

She was asked to act in a film that is produced by Lagadapati Sridhar. Nayantara denied that due to dates' problem saying, "Sridhar! You ask me 'anything' else except that".

Nayantara! Can you explain what that 'anything' means? Gossip zones are dishing out several versions of meaning for it.

UTV uses cricket to promote Athidhi & Goal

The image “http://www.greatandhra.com/newsimages/athidi1191529540.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

MUMBAI: India's victory at the Twenty20 mini world cup series has definitely boosted the use of cricket as a platform for promotions. Now the ongoing India Australia one day series is serving as a platform for movie promotion.

On 5 October, during the on-going India Australia one day series being held in Hyderabad, promos of UTV's forthcoming Telugu movie Athidhi will be showcased on the screens in the stadium after every over, to approximately 62,000 people who will be present.

According to information available with media, the cost of this activity will be in the range of Rs 7 - 8 lakhs. Further, the rates are likely to fluctuate in proportion with the scale of the event.

UTV associate vice president, India distribution, Suniel Wadhva said, "In India, cricket has the highest reach and after India's victory in T20, cricket fever has reached a new high. Mahesh Babu is a sensation in Andhra Pradesh, so it would be interesting to screen Athidhi promos for so many people at one time."

If all goes well, UTV will also leverage this medium to screen Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal promos on two giant screens for the match to be held in Mumbai on 17 October to an audience of over 150,000.

In the past this on-field screen medium has been used for promoting banking and finance companies and consumer durables. Six months ago films too began to use this platform for promotion. Clippings of a Tamil movie Pachaikili Muthucharam was the first to be screened in Chennai during the India-West Indies cricket match. Chennai based firm Technology Frontier is at the forefront of such activities in India.

Sobhan Babu has been the darling of many hearts of ladies between 70s-80s.

Jayaprada recalls about him saying that he was very decent and never bothered about film people once the shooting is over. He has been a perfect family man and hardly used to show filmy airs. Jayaprada said that he was not like NTR and ANR. She implies that NTR and ANR used to tease heroines and entertain but Sobhan Babu was very decent.

That's how Jayaprada recalled Sobhan Babu.

Fairest Complexion And Sexiest Figure

The image “http://www.greatandhra.com/newsimages/godava11191559882.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

A fair and voluptuous lady is now appearing on small screen in a trailer. Although there is little grace in her face, the beauty in her body has been turning the heads of many.

There's a beach. And there is a sexy lady shining in the rays of mid day Sun. She is wearing a swimsuit, that's in two-piece. Her fairest skin is glowing with reflections. Her body has curves giving grand glory for her feminine assets. A man is holding her navel region and kneading for a few seconds. The lady is snuggling in his hug.

That is the essence of that trailer. The sexiest lady is Shraddha Arya and the man is Vaibhav, the son of Kodanda Rai Reddy. It's a trailer of the film 'Godava'. The trailers are attracting people. We have to see how far the film attracts.

Screen Talk: What Is There In 'Bhayya'?

The image “http://www.greatandhra.com/newsimages/bayya1191517196.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

'Malaikottai' is the Tamil film that was released couple of weeks ago in Tamilnadu. Malaikottai implies a 'temple on hill'. The shooting of the film took place in Tirucchi where there is a temple on the hill. Vishal and Priyamani paired up in it. The film is now getting dubbed into Telugu and releasing tomorrow as 'Bhayya.

Vishal said that the film is titled 'Bhayya' in Telugu as the people in AP called him 'Bhayya' when he made his visit for the success meets of Pandem Kodi and Pogaru.

The film is a high voltage action drama where it is going in the B and C centers of Tamilnadu in considerable positive way. The film is running dull in A centers. We have to see how it goes in AP.

The image “http://www.greatandhra.com/newsimages/happydays-chirutha1191557948.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Two films have released this week out of which one is the much awaited block buster and the other is a film that enthralled critics and college students.

Ram Charan's 'Chirutha' has given success for Ram Charan but the film proved to be failed in substance. The audiences those have assumed that there would be good depth in the story of Ram Charan's debut have got disappointed. But Ram Charan entertained the audiences with his dances and fights. Critics say that Ram Charan's characterization, weak story line, feeble narration and Neha Sharma's acting made the film a dull retreat. The collections for this film in first week are very good but eventually a drop is observed.

But Sekhar Kammula's 'Happy Days' that was released in Andhra on 2nd October is doing very well by attracting college students. The film has depicted the relations between class mates in an engineering college in a very sensitive way. The film has made 100 percent openings in A centers.

NTR's 'Yamadonga' complete its 50 days run and running ahead.

Reel Talk: EVV With Ravi Teja and Sunil!

The image “http://www.greatandhra.com/newsimages/evv1191483114.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Unofficial sources said that EVV is now planning films with Ravi Teja, the shooting of which may tentatively start in January 2008. Then a film with Sunil is also planned, the story of which is written By Prithvi Teja.

Apart from this, EVV is in dire need to push the career of his eldest son Rajesh. He has been listening to many stories and planning to project him in right way. That way three films are in line from EVV's camp.

Right now EVV is busy on the film 'Pellaindi Kaani'. As soon as the completion of the film he will be busy with Ravi Teja's film.

Well, Thailand is going to be the shooting hub for Ravi Teja' film.

GITA joins with ATHIDHI and THULASI in Chat busters!

An interesting aspect to know is that a small film audio took position in 'top-10' in the chart busters list of this week. The film is 'Gita'. Rishi and Hamsa Nandini are in lead roles in it. Coming to the audio, the Times of India, Planet M, Music World, Radio Mirchi and Radio City have listed it as one of the top-10 albums in the chartbusters of this week. Athidhi and Tulasi are ruling the film music now. When big budget high voltage films are ruling the roost, this small film shows its identity by joining along with them. When inquired, it's said that the music is excellent. It is very interesting to know that the music director is SUNIL KASHYAP, finalist in AR Rehman's latest OO LA LA LA …contest. Looks like AR Rehman got impressed with Sunil Kashyap's music and singing skills and gave an opportunity to sing in his next movie JODHA AKBAR staring Hritik Roshan. Madhura Entertainmentt, the music company which released the music of this small movie GITA should be appreciated for promoting young talent like Sunil Kashyap.

'Viyyaalavaari Kayyaalu' Haunting and Not Leaving

The image “http://www.greatandhra.com/newsimages/viyalavarikayalu1191480020.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

The songs from the film 'Viyyalavari Kayyalu' are appealing for listeners as they are regularly played in FM radio channels. Ramana Gogula scored music for it and the songs have been ringing in the ears of people from quite long time. Many say that the song 'Suryude Sare Annade…' resembles 'Annayyaa Annavantey…' from 'Annavaram'.

The song 'Neela Neekallu' is standing as instant winner. We can listen to RP Patnaik's voice for the song 'Malle Chendaa' written by Veturi.

The rating for this album is very good and is permanently sitting in Top-10 list of chartbusters since its release.

Some listeners are saying that the songs in the album are haunting and not leaving without ringing in ears.

All the songs have got melodious appeal to sustain in the cognitions of people for longer time. A couple of numbers are haunting for a while after listening. It appears to be a good sign especially for Uday Kiran.

Uday Kiran and Neha Jhulka have paired up for the film where Sri Hari played a vital role in it. Inside sources say that the film is going to be a very big hit and brings break for Uday Kiran.

Buzz: Anti-liquor Roja caught boozing!

The image “http://www.greatandhra.com/newsimages/roja_0101191504650.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Film heroine-turned-Telugu Mahila president Roja, who has launched a war against belt shops (unauthorized liquor shops) in the State, was understood to have caught consuming liquor at her guest house.

According to grapevine, Roja, who has been extensively touring the Telangana districts as part of Palle Palleku programme and campaigning against belt shops, had a night halt at a guest house in Karimnagar. Knowing that she is a regular boozer, party people arranged her bottle of liquor from a nearby belt shop. She was enjoying the drink, when some local women entered the guest house to discuss about her action plan against the belt shops. And they were astonished to find her in an inebriated condition. So, they had to make a silent retreat.

These women activists later condemned Roja's double standards and wondered how this woman can run a movement against liquor.

House Wives Dancing For 'Vamp Songs'

A TV channel is organizing a show called 'Paripoorna Mahila'. The idea is to pick up the Mrs Andhra among the contestants. The contest will have many tests those assess the mental ability, emotional quotient, beauty consciousness, personality and bearing of the candidates. All the candidates are married and are in later 20s or 30s. There is a test in the contest where the contestants have to dance for two songs. The test has no sense and it is testing the patience and receptive sense of TV Viewers, as many say.

"How the married ladies dance for item numbers like '36 24 36..avi kolathalu kaavu orabbee naa phone numberu..'? It's nasty watching the family ladies jumping for the numbers. Should we make out paripoorna mahila out of those bitchy dances?" questioned Radha Kumari, a lecturer.

"They are in saris. And they are dancing for songs like 'Ippatikinka naa vayasu…' with nasty and vulgar movements. TV shows are degrading the married Andhra women", said Sreedevi, a housewife.

The show is passing on negative impressions among the viewers.

Lagadapati Sreedhar's 'Warm Blessings' For Ileana

The image “http://www.greatandhra.com/newsimages/ileyana51191480134.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Lanco Hills is the affluent venture that was started in Hyderabad where the bookings were over within few days of its launch. Many celebrities also couldn't find any discount in bookings including the early birds. Such was the demand for the flats in that affluent venture.

But it is revealed that Ileana also booked a flat in that and got a discount of 20%. How could she bag that discount? The Film Nagar circles are biting ears that Lagadapati Sreedhar's 'warm blessings' for Ileana resulted in getting 20% discount.

We may not wonder if Sreedhar made an agreement with her to act in a film produced by him in near future-may be with a discount in her remuneration!

The image “http://www.greatandhra.com/newsimages/dasavatharam1191474733.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.
Producer Oscar Ravichandran has finally released the first official pictures from the forthcoming "Dasavatharam" to the media. There has been a lot of curiosity about the film ever since its launch almost a year ago, and the Internet was full of 'unofficial' pictures of Kamal Hasan whose get-up is varied in the film. The Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, M. Karunanidhi who was shown a photo album is said to have been awestruck by the actor's looks. Kamal is doing 10 different roles in the film, but the pictures released to the media have no surprises. The producer's press note says shooting is over and the audio release will be held this month. It states: " 'Dasavatharam' can stand up to international scrutiny in terms of technical perfection and Kamal's acting can match up to that of any international actor."

Screen Talk: Ali Is Very Religious!

The image “http://www.greatandhra.com/newsimages/ali1191446640.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Comedian Ali is very religious. Although he appears jovial and cracks jokes in public taking the life easier, when it comes to religion he will follow it with high devotion.

He is now keeping away from liquor as these are the days of Ramzan. He is also fasting and taking Iftar at nights. Many say that Ali appears religious only during the month of Ramzan and for rest of the year he will mix up with everyone in industry and runs as per their time and rules.

Right now Ali is still the highly paid comedian. He started his career as a child artiste.

Nostalgia: S Vara Lakshmi's Love For ANR

S Vara Lashmi is the yester years' actress who was known for her singing talent as well. She acted in many films with NTR but has got fascination on ANR as said by him. In an interview given to a channel, he said, "S Vara Lakshmi asked me if I marry".

He added, "Those were the days when we were shooting for the film Maya Lokam. I don't say that is wrong and that was only the heat of age. I didn't take that bad as she asked only for marriage but not anything else. I said to her that I have no such feelings on her".

ANR also said that the producer of the film asked him and he admitted that he has no feelings of that sort on her. It seems that elders also asked her to keep away from him.

ANR now and then reveals his romantic side of life in front of public this way.

Opinion: Open Letter To Puri Jagannath

Mr Puri Jagannath, I understand that you are very practical in your approach but you need to watch your words when you say something. A star director like you should not be saying all this. As per you, imported heroin's are very talented. My simple question is, what talent did Hansika exhibit in Desamuduru? What talent did Ileana exhibit in Pokiri and what talent did Neha Sharma exhibit in Chirutha? Didn't you use them only for songs n glamor? Did you give them any performance based role? Or, are they really capable to act before the lens? A simple fact with one of your heroin's, Hansika, is that she was kicked off from Bollywood after one film (Aap ka Suroor) because of her terrible acting and now she is back in Tollywood. It's proved many times that your so called imported actresses use Tollywood as a perfect launchpad to get into Bollywood. And, please don't compare heroin's with camera's. It doesn't make much sense.

Coming to the issue of Prakash Raj and Ashish Vidhyarthi, it's understandable why one casts them in their films, lack of villain's in Tollywood. There's no doubt that they are tremendously talented. I agree with you on those.

Coming to filming locations, going abroad, it's your / hero's obsession. Isn't it funny/foolish to see our hero's and heroin's dancing on roads in foreign lands and people look at them as if there is something wrong. Is that necessary? How can a director like Shekar Kammula show the grandeur of Andhra on Celluloid? How can it be possible for him and how come people like you go to foreign shores for shooting? If your hero insists and your producer is ready to burn his money then it's okay but going abroad for every movie you make raises doubts about you and your crew's hidden obsession's (like, erotic massage in Thailand, etc).

To conclude, it's not that Telugu girls are not available for us but it's people like you who are not interested in them and interested in other state (North) girls. You directly prove that famous proverb in Telugu, What we have in our house doesn't look good, but what we see in other's house appeals a lot to us.

Gandhiji Worked In Favor Of Happy Days

The image “http://www.greatandhra.com/newsimages/happydays41191395975.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

It appears that Gandhiji worked for the success of 'Happy Days'. Indeed, 'Gandhi Jayanthi' holiday worked in favor of the film that released o same day in AP. The talk has come very well in Hyderabad and Vizag. The college students have patronized the film a lot and some family audiences have also made their way to theaters as it was a holiday. Sekhar Kammula is happy for this.

He shared his happiness saying, "The talk has come good everywhere. It's not only in Vizag and Hyderabad but also in the places like Guntur, Nellore , Vijayawada and Tirupathy. There is 100 days talk everywhere. The condition is Hyderabad is very positive that the student community I patronizing a lot. It's becoming hard to get tickets as well".

So it is confirmed that Sekhar Kammula did a hat-trick. While Anand was a success in both US and AP, Godavari did well only in US. Now 'Happy Days' made it big at both the places.

Ramya Krishna Should Change That

The image “http://www.greatandhra.com/newsimages/ramyakrishna21191397594.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Ramya Krishna should change one thing that has been disgusting the TV viewers. She keeps on laughing in the show 'Jara Masti Jara Dhoom' that has been anchored by her. The show is very popular and Ramya Krishna's loud laugh for every small thing is disgusting people.

Indeed, the shows in Hindi channels will be bold but when it comes to Telugu channels, the conventionalism has been prevailing. The recent show of Ramya Krishna with Jaya Prada and Jaya Sudha proved to be vulgar in some aspects and Ramya Krishna's wild laughs for Jayaprada's double meaning talks and gestures added to that.

Is Ramya Krishna listening?

KS Rama Rao and Chalapathi Rao Are Also In List

The information from Chitrapuri Colony said that there are many big heads in the list who are booking flats those are intended only for poor artistes of film industry. We already reported that Paruchuri brothers are there in the list and now it is revealed that there are many rich people who are greedy for these flats. Out of them KS Rama Rao, Giribabu, Chalapathi Rao, Tamma Reddy Bharadwaja and Delhi Rajeshwari and many others are also there.

People know how rich the above personalities are. But still they want some piece in the area that was meant for giving away to poor artistes. The market prices of the flats are up to Rs 45 lakhs where they are coming for Rs 7 lakhs. That's the point of greed there.

Many poor artistes are talking less about them in public. While the generous people like Vijaya Chander are donating acres of land for poor people on one side, there are these greedy mobs on the other.

Reel Talk: 'Raghu With Love' To AR Rehman!

http://www.greatandhra.com/newsimages/raghuwithlove1191394921.jpg

Raghu Kunche, the singer has released a music album 'Raghu With Love' freshly. Puri Jagannath talked about him in an interview saying, "Raghu and I are good friends from many years. I gave debut for him as singer in the film Baachi. Raghu is a good singer cum actor cum composer. He also worked for various films and also sang a few Tamil songs. It is good idea that he took all old melodies and remixed them as 'Raghu with Love'".

Raghu Kunche also approached AR Rehman to take his blessings. Raghu kneeled down in front of Rehman and touched his feet. Rehman is just 41 year old now. Raghu is also of same age approximately.

Will Rehman bless Raghu really by giving a chance to sing?

The image “http://www.greatandhra.com/newsimages/purijagannath1191385190.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.
Charan is good but the story is bad. Charan's voice is good but the screenplay is not good. Charan's dance is good but Puri's narration is bad…'

These are the comments those have been making rounds after the release of Chirutha. When the same thing was asked to Puri, he said, "I did what Chiranjeevi garu asked me to do. He asked me to project his son well. That was fulfilled. Chiranjeevi garu hugged me after watching the first positive of the film. That's enough for me. When the purpose of showing Ram Charan in right degree is served, I don't feel anything if people say that my story is not up to the mark".

So Puri is happy even though the negative feedback on his story is heard. He also said that he never takes life serious and hence his stories also will be week and there will be no heaviness in that.

Reel Buzz: What's Wrong If I'm Lesbian!

There are rumors that a Bollywood heroine is a lesbian. Freshly it is also said that she is spending longer time with females.

Can female fans feel free to move with her? They must be careful in this aspect. Gossips also say that she is getting disgust talking to men. It seems that she is keeping away from her boy friend as well these days.

But when asked about her behavior, as per unconfirmed news, she asked what is wrong in being a lesbian? Oh! She must be bringing a new revolution in this aspect. Is she going to be first Indian celebrity to claim her sexual right publicly?

She is the daughter of a yester years' hot heroine who hails from Bengal . Her nude clip shot by her boy friend also made rounds in internet.

Screen Talk: NTR's Liking For Priya Mani

The image “http://www.greatandhra.com/newsimages/yamadonga41191385444.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

NTR says that he likes Priya Mani. The reason is also said. He said that she is the right dancer who can match his pace. Both NTR and Priyamani acted in the film 'Yama Donga' and the songs 'Noonugu Meesalodu' and 'Rabbaru Gaajulu' in that were hits where both are duets between NTR and Priya Mani.

In earlier days, the tinsel town used to say that Radha was the right dancer to match with the pace of Chiranjeevi in dance. Now Priyamani is being certified as right dancer beside NTR.

It will certainly be a good compliment for Priyamani.

TOP 5 Songs: 'Chirutha' song tops Telugu chartsTOP 5 Songs: 'Chirutha' song tops Telugu charts

Hyderabad, Oct 3 (IANS) The song "Yamaho Yama" from Ramcharan Tej's debut film "Chirutha", continues to be at the forefront of Telugu film chartbusters this fortnight. Here are the top five:

1) "Yamaho Yama" ("Chiruta") - This song, sung by Tipu, continues to top the charts. A bi-lingual number, it has a lively, loud, youthful feel.

2) "Rubbaru Gajjulu" ("Yamadonga") - A new entrant on the chartbuster list. Music composer M.M. Keeravani gets bhangra king Daler Mehndi to croon this number - perhaps his first song in a south Indian language. Keeravani scores the music in sync with Daler's singing - a folksy, lively and lilting rhythm.

3) "Buggare Bangaarama" ("Chandamama") - This K.M. Radhakrishnan composition is a blend of classical and folk strains. It is a melodious song rendered by Rajesh.

4) "Aakelesthe" ('Shankar Dada Zindabad") - This continues to be on the chartbuster list despite being pushed down. Devisri Prasad's music and Mamta Mohandas and Naveen's energetic voices continue to mesmerise listeners.

5) "Telusu Cheli" ("Viyyala Vaari Kayyalu") - This song has a slightly modern, foot-tapping music with a touch of melody. The slightly fast-paced song, composed by Ramana Goggula, is sung by Naveen and Ganga.

Snippet: Vijayashanthi's Worst Habits

The image “http://www.greatandhra.com/newsimages/vijayashanti1191309227.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Vijayashanthi has two worst habits those are disgusting the people moving close to her. Her gutka chewing habit has spoiled her mouth and that is not a public woe. But she spits on roads and in the corners of walls when the cameras are not on her face. That disgusts people.

And another thing is that she uses rough and foul language with her people, especially the ones those are working at her place. These two habits are disgusting people it seems. Some say that there are few more habits of her those disgust people to higher degree which cannot be discussed.

So, can this yesterday's sexy actress and today's political activist change these habits for her people?

Let us wait and see.

Brahmanandam is very hot even at his above middle age. He likes to spend time as a youngster whenever he goes abroad. He likes Thailand for the plethora of body massages available there.

In a recent visit to Thailand, Brahmanandam spent long time in Pattaya and enjoyed all sorts of massage packages by becoming a regular customer to a massage center for about 10 days. Out of all it is said that he liked 'Sabadi' style of massage. Sorry, we can't explain how the massage is done. It is considered to the massage done at the heights of imagination.

Adding to this, he also enjoyed the ping-pong show in a local pub there. The show has got its unique importance where ladies do some feats making themselves 'nude'.

Poor Artistes Spitting on Paruchuri Brothers

Paruchuri Brothers have become very greedy now. The lands at Chitrapuri Colony are intended to confer for poor technicians and financially suffering junior artistes of Tollywood.

But Paruchuri Brothers have kept their fingers in that out of greed. They booked their flats in them. The cost of the flat as per the land price prevailing there is approximately Rs 45 Lakh. But the flats are being given away for poor people at Rs 7 lakhs. Inside sources say that Paruchuri Brothers are greedy for those flats as they are available at 1/7 th of the market price.

The two brothers have very big independent houses in Film Nagar and Mehdipatnam. They take lakhs and lakhs of rupees for each film. But still they want a piece of share from poor man's bread as well. Hence the poor artistes are talking ill about their greed, spitting on them and using the words of wrath for their selfishness.

Reel Talk: Suneetha's Dubbing For Genelia

The image “http://www.greatandhra.com/newsimages/genelia21191308439.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Singer Suneetha has freshly given her dubbing voice for Genelia for the film 'Mister Medhavi'. The Post Production activities of the film are going on at swift pace and now the dubbing and mixing activity is going on. Genelia is not comfortable with Telugu like Charmy who learnt very fast.

Sources said that although director Neelakanta thought to make Genelia give her own dubbing, he delayed the idea and took the help of Suneetha as Goan girl Genny is yet to go comfortable with Telugu diction.

Raja is playing lead role in the film and Neelakanta is now coming up with a film that appeals for all segments of audiences including class, mass and youth.

Murali Mohan shared her sweet moments with Jayasudha. He said that they have acted in a few films together and she had great love for cricket and Diwali that she used to ask for leave those days.

He continued, "When the shooting has to be completed, the directors and producers used to arrange a TV set in the shooting spot for the sake of Jayasudha. She used to watch the matches in shot gaps".

It is true that Jayasudha is still a fan of cricket and never skips any match that airs on TV channels.

Karishma Kotak, the tall sexy actress paired up with Chiranjeevi in Shankardada Zindabad wants to do another film in Tollywood. She says that she liked the Telugu film industry and also felt happy for working beside Chiranjeevi. She says she wants to experiment in different ways on Telugu screen with high dose of glamour show.

She said about her modeling background and about her bikini poses for Kingfisher Calendar. She also said that she learned in London and trained in little bit of dance as well. Now we have to see who will book her. There were gossips that Venkatesh has an eye on her to place her beside him.

Karishma is only shining at her skin and has no big grace to entertain Tollywood audiences, is the impression that is there in industry. She is also looking quite normal off the screen.

The special interviews are also going to be relayed on TV5 this evening. The live telecasts of the TV are going to start from 4:30 PM today.

Will this incessant News Channel give tough competition for TV 9? That has to be wait and seen. NTV that was started a few weeks ago hasn't got any push till now. We have to see the plight of TV5 now.

By the way, today is Gandhi Jayanthi and there is a gossip that Chiranjeevi will be announcing about his new party today. There is no update on that yet. Still, let us wait and see.

Can 'Cine Varasatwam' Be Stopped With This?

"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, '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 are forcibly rubbing their sons on our heads. We have to bear them and adjust with them. It happened right from Nagarjuna who was not good in initial days. But slowly he groomed well and eventually turned a dream man of all. There is in fact Arun Kumar, Surya Prakash, Ramesh Babu and all who were not successful on screen. It's only the talent and mass appeal that matters ultimately".

Now Veeru has permitted her to resume her career. She is ready to play vamp roles now. As there is acute shortage of such gals in the industry, producers will make a beeline for her call sheets very soon

Box-Office: Chirutha Tops The List

The image “http://www.greatandhra.com/newsimages/chirutha_review1191290179.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.
'Happy Days' released in USA this week and it is ruling roost in all the centers. The film is releasing in India on 2nd October. We have to see how the film will work out in India and influence the box office records. And the records in India as of now are:

1. Chirutha:
The openings of the film are tremendously big and almost all the shows are running with houseful collections all over. It is the craze to watch Ram Charan that is pulling audiences to theaters. Although there is mixed response with story aspect in the film, it is running well with good collections. The film sits in position-1 of the toppers list of the week.

2. Yamadonga:
The film is still entertaining audiences despite the gush of new releases. Although there is a drop in collections when compared to previous weeks, the film is standing out to be a family and mass entertainer. The film sits in position-3 in the toppers list of the week.

3. Chandamama:
The film is attracting more and more audience to theaters and families are giving bigger response to it. The music turned a hit and the publicity aspect also added mileage for the film. The film being a very good family entertainer with no violence is appealing families. Ahuti Prasad got very big recognition in this film. It sits in position-2 of the toppers list of the week.

4. Yamagola:
The collections of the film are stable. Although the casting in the film is not big stars, it is doing well in many centers. It's only the comedy line with Yama Concept that is pulling the crowds to theatres. The title is the strength for the commercial success of the film. It sits in position-4 of the toppers list of the week.

5. Vijayadasami:
The film lost tempo at the box office in the first week itself. The old beaten track story adopted from Tamil flick didn't work out on Telugu screen. The film is proved to be a flop as it is losing its grip day by day. It sits in position-5 of the toppers list for this week.

Are Madigas Behind Chiranjeevi?

The image “http://www.greatandhra.com/newsimages/chiranjeevi31191221890.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Are madigas behind Chiranjeevi? This impression is rising as Manda Krishna Madiga's cutout was placed along with Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan in Machilipatnam region. How Krishna Madiga is connected with Chiranjeevi and the film? There is nothing, but the impressions are making rounds that the community is behind Chiranjeevi. It is true that Chiranjeevi is being considered the man of all now. This certainly wouldn't continue if he starts a party for himself. Chiranjeevi is worried only in that aspect.

The first thing that happens to Chiranjeevi if he starts a new party is income tax ride by present government to threaten him. The next thing is lack of majority in elections as TDP would give tight competition. The next thing is chances for Congress to form government again as opposite votes would split into two between TDP and Chiranjeevi's party. The other thing is Chiranjeevi getting new set of enemies for the rest of his life. So, under these circumstances can Chiranjeevi dare to start a party?

October 2nd is falling tomorrow. There was gossip that Chiranjeevi will be announcing his new party on the occasion of this Gandhi Jayanthi. But will he do that? There are no signals till now.

The image “http://www.greatandhra.com/newsimages/happydays31191219849.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

The film 'Happy Days' is on the top in USA and beats 'Chirutha' with tremendous collections. In Sanjose, New Jersey and Dallas watched 'Happy Days' more than Chirutha in numbers. In Dallas 2500 (It is all time record in USA) watched Happy Days which is more than Chirutha. And in all the centers where Happy Days and Chirutha released together, only the former took the major share.

For the fortune of 'Chirutha', the film 'Happy Days' couldn't release due to delay in the arrival of prints and hence it could enjoy monopoly there. The collections of Chirutha are good in Detroit and Chicago centers.

If the trend of following goes in similar way, 'Happy Days' in USA may beat the US records of Bommarillu and Pokiri as well. Let us wait and see how it creates waves in India with tomorrow's release.

Ramya Krishna Asks About Jayaprada to 'Open That'

The image “http://www.greatandhra.com/newsimages/jayaprada1191225739.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Ramya Krishna's TV show 'Jara Masti Jara Dhoom' was shined with the presence of Jayaprada and Jayasudha this time. In a talk, Jayaprada said that she used to shout with the deeds of NTR during the shooting of Yamagola.

After a brief talk of Jayaprada, Ramya Krishna insisted Jayaprada to open the secret behind those shouts. Jayaprada didn't reveal those but ended up with a big laugh saying, "They were just shouts".

So, we have to just imagine what NTR did to make Jayprada shout. It just depends on the imagination of the individual.

Amitabh: Even Abhishek Was Scary Like Ram Charan

[chiruthaphoto-0006.jpg]

Bollywood Big B Amitabh once lauded Chiranjeevi as king of Indian cinema. Now he passes on grand wishes for Ram Charan.

Amitabh Bachchan expressed, "My wishes to Ram Charan for his debut. It is on his shoulders to keep up the name of his father, Chiranjeevi who is a legend, a wonderful personality with the stardom beyond limits. That is scary at times for the young Ram Charan. Even Abhishek had the same scare when he did his debut a few years back. My family shares very good rapport with Chiranjeevi's family and it is like one of my family members debuting screen. I once again wish you Ram Charan".

That's the wish of Big B to Ram Charan for his 'Chirutha'.

Talk: Sekhar Kammula Will Be Shyam Benegal Of Tollywood

The image “http://www.greatandhra.com/newsimages/shekarkammula1191212125.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Sekhar Kammula gave shrewd answers for many of the questions asked by people on phone in a live show. He is very pragmatic, sane and shrewd in giving answers and talked like a creative thinker with self conviction. He made 'Happy Days' that's already doing very good in USA and releasing in India tomorrow.

For a question, he answered, "The Telugu audiences are transforming from relishing the mass masala formula films to multiplex films with more rational thought. The change has come in Hindi. It has also come in Tamil. And now it is going to come in Telugu. There will be more experiments down the line in Telugu".

For another query, he replied, "My audience is 15 lakhs. I know making films only for them. I never make films to target audience. If I feel that a story can be made a film, I do that. I get 10 thoughts in a day and discard 9 and think about only one. If I get conviction that can be made a film, I start writing. Once the script comes out, I make a film. My 15 lakh audience never gets disappointed with my product. And they are increasing in number as well. Right now, a big hero's film may have 60 lakh audiences".

"A journalist asked me how much I took from the 8 boys and girls acted in 'Happy Days' for giving them debut. There no such deal here. I only paid them all. I used them for my selfishness as I felt that they fit into my roles. When I use for my selfishness, I have to pay them. That's all", he shared.

Listening to all this, the people are passing on these comments on Sekhar Kammula:

"He is very balanced and clear in thought. He believes in what he is doing. Surprisingly he is coming out with success all the time. There is saying that nothing convinces others other than the conviction in oneself. He has that conviction in his film making", said Vasant Kumar, a software professional.

"He will be the Shyam Benegal of Tollywood, that too in commercial front. He is the director in this new era that made a unique mark for him. Even though a very big actor acts in his film, it will be called only 'Sekhar Kammula's film' but will not go with the name of the hero. That's his caliber", shared Anita, an MBA student.

The other viewer said, "He made Anand with to project emotions, he made Godavari to show the scenic beauty and he made Happy Days for nostalgia. He has a change of thought in his every attempt. He will be only successful only if he comes out with new genre every time. It will be good if he tries with suspense, horror, comedy and others within his own style".

The film 'Happy Days' has got hit talk in USA. We have to see how it runs in AP releasing tomorrow.

Kamalini is going to become Madhuri Dixit of Tollywood. She is going to show her sensuous beauty wearing a sexy open-back blouse in the film 'Pellaindi Kaani'. She will be appearing in that blouse in a song 'Hai Rabba'. The blouse is literally a complete 'open-back' one that resembles Madhuri Dixit in 'Hum Apke Hai Koun'.

Indeed, that open back may become a fashion and it's no wonder if versions of blouses come into outlets as 'Kamalini Blouse' after the release of film.

Kamalini looks hot in that song.

The latest news doing the rounds in Chennai is that Rajnikanth is planning to launch a TV channel of his own which will be named Superstar TV. And if sources are to be believed, the concept is the brainchild of his younger daughter Soundarya, who runs an animation studio called Orchre. Sources say that Soundarya has been toying with the idea of a TV channel for quite some time now. Though her father was initially against the idea, he later agreed after hearing what she had in mind. Soundarya didn’t want a run of the mill channel, instead she plans to start a global channel on the lines of the National Geographic channel.

She is presently working hard to complete the 3D animated film Sultan – The Warrior, featuring Rajnikanth. When this newspaper contacted Soundarya’s office, she was not available for comment as she is out of country in connection with her animation film. South India is believed to have the maximum number of television channels, the most recent addition being Kalaignar TV, started by Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi.

Ram Charan Is Very Balanced With Media

The image “http://www.greatandhra.com/newsimages/chirutha31191201403.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Ram Charan seems to be very balanced with media while talking. Even that happens to be a part of training given to him. He is very humble and just giving answer to the point. Frequently he repeats the lines 'You have to encourage me. It's my first attempt".

He said the same thing again and again in a brief talk to a media channel. He is giving the signals of humble nature like his father. He is very much calculated as well. But at times, he is also showing a bit of carelessness like his uncle Pawan Kalyan. But that is very well within limits but not odd. Many say that he has resemblances with Pawan Kalyan in body language.

Keeping that aside, do you know one thing? Ram Charan's mother used to shout at his indiscipline saying, "You are becoming like your baabai. Correct yourself". So, it's not just on screen and before media, but Ram Charan has many resemblances with Pawan Kalyan.

'Nachore Nachore Yamadonga Contest' is the program that is going to be aired on MAA TV. The selection process is going on for the program where the contestants have to dance for the songs in 'Yamadonga'. Many have shown good caliber in emulating the dance. But the 'nachore..' step is found very hard for many.

After 'veena step' of Chiranjeevi in 'Indra', it's now the 'nachore step' of Jr NTR that is highly popular. Jr NTR after becoming slim is very aggressive in doing very hard steps on screen. Even his next film 'Kantree' also will showcase his dancing talent that is unique.

Coming to the contest, the best performers will be selected and the finals will be held as a public show, say the sources.

T audio rights of the film 'Athidhi' were sold at Rs 75 lakhs to Supreme. That is a big sum but the audio trade circles say that it is not so difficult to get back the investment with the rate at whih the sales are going on. It is not a very big price but very well within the reasonable limits.

Coming to Tulasi, the audio rights were sold at Rs 45 lakhs to Aditya. The audio has got mixed response. Supreme has given a quotation to buy the audio rights of 'Okka Magadu' at Rs 50 lakh. But YVS Choudary is intending to release the audio on his own banner 'Yukta'. He did the same with Devdas as well. In recent times Yamadonga audio also went on in similar way on the banner of Vel Audios of Keeravani. We have to see how Okka Magadu audio will go.

Opinion: Rating Of Ram Charan In 'Chirutha'



Chirutha is unique film in Tollywood history , where it does not matter if the movie is good or bad, hit or flop, has story or not.. It's all about Ram Charan.. With instant fan following and mega expectations, everybody has the one question in their mind.

"Does he have the stuff to be a successor of Megastar?"

It's a huge test for Ram Charan and let's check how he has done as an artiste in different departments..

Acting: The writer (also the director) has created scenes filled with love, sentiment, comedy, anger and Charan performed like a seasoned actor. Especially the scenes involving his mother came out very well. Though there are some rough edges to be sharpened, overall he did a fantastic job, considering it's his first movie.
Score: 6/10

Diction: Typically debutant heroes has some kind of rawness in their voices, but surprisingly Charan has done his homework well and uttered dialogues with right kind of pitch , intensity and timing. Puri's sharp one-liners definitely helped to mask any short comings.
