Gifts For Mohan Babu, Rajamouli and NTR

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

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!

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 "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.

UTV uses cricket to promote Athidhi & Goal

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.

Press Release by UTV

Nostalgia: Jayaprada Recalls Sobhan Babu

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

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'?

'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.

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.
