Mass Maharaja Raviteja enters politics!

Raviteja, who is fondly known as Mass Maharaj, is all set to enter politics! No, he is not entering into 'real' politics, but will be seen doing 'reel' politics. Raviteja plays the role of a minister in the movie Daruvu. This film is a socio fantasy made in the lines of Yamudiki Mogudu. Director Shiva of Souryam fame is directing it.

Although politics sound a bit serious concept for a Raviteja's film, the director treated the movie in a comic fashion it seems. Raviteja will be at his energetic best in this socio fantasy comedy. Taapsee is playing the female lead. The buzz from film nagar says that Raviteja is going to take digs at politics and politicians in Daruvu in his own inimitable style.

Raviteja, who has been running through rough patch for a while is expecting Daruvu to give him a break from the flop streak. As per insider's talk the film has come out well and has ample elements to impress the masses and Raviteja fans. So dear folks buckle up for Raviteja's fun ride. 

Dammu and Daruvu Release Clash

Raviteja comes face to face with NTR

Few days ago there was talk that Raviteja's Daruvu movie release has been postponed indefinitely due to heavy competition. But the makers of Daruvu released a press statement that their film is going to release on time without fail. As per the producer Daruvu will be released on May 4th. That means it will be released exactly a week after NTR's Dammu is released.

Dammu is going for an all out release with more than thousand theaters on its first day. Although it is releasing so big, it is impossible to collect all its costs in one week. So Dammu will need another week without much competition to enter the safe zone. But Raviteja is not going to take the back step as of now.

With so many biggies lined up for release in May and June, Daruvu makers feel that May 4th is the ideal date to release their film. This clash can affect Dammu as well as Daruvu. Let's see if D and D come to an agreement and maintain good gap to the benefit of each other.

Trade report: Shiva Ratri releases

Maha Shiva Ratri witnessed three notable releases at Tollywood box office. Raviteja's Nippu was the red hot one prior to release due to star value and Sunil solely brought instant craze to Poola Rangadu. Siddharth's excessive efforts raised curiosity over his Love Failure. All three films verdict is out and let's see the status of these movies at the box office.

Nippu:      
           
Raviteja's Nippu opened with decent collections, but there is a drastic fall from the second day itself. Nippu has received mostly negative reviews from the noted critics and the public response is even worse. This has been out rightly written off as a disastrous movie. Nippu's collections didn't see any rise on Sunday and Monday (Shiva Ratri). Collections on Tuesday and Wednesday indicate that the film is only going down the hill. As per the trend, Nippu might end up as a bigger flop than Veera for Raviteja.

Poola Rangadu:

Sunil's Poola Rangadu is clear winner among the three releases. Thanks to Sunil's comedy and dances, mass audiences are going gaga over the film. The business is not big in A centers as expected. But the film is getting very good response in B and C centers. Poola Rangadu may collect over 15 crore share in full run, as per the early estimates.

Love Failure:

Siddharth played triple role for this film. He acted, produced and also distributed the movie. Actor Sid is more than happy with the positive response and producer Sid is content for earning back the investment prior to the release. But the distributor Sid has been experiencing mixed results as of now. Love Failure has been doing reasonably good in Hyderabad. But the returns in other areas including big centers like Vijayawada and Vishakapatnam have been below average. The concept and treatment of the film is very urbane and therefore Love Failure is finding it tough to convert the positive response into solid revenue!

'Daruvu' Shooting Halted By T-Agitators

One more time, the T-agitators had showed their like for halting the shooting of movies belonging to heroes of other regions. This time it is mass-raja Raviteja and his latest movie faced the hurdle today.

While shooting at a private hospital in Tarnaka area, Raviteja's 'Daruvu' faced the heat from separate state demanding agitators. The intruders attacked the shooting spot all of a sudden and destroyed some of the 'spot lights' belonging to the unit. Unable to control the situation, the producers have cancelled the shoot for the day. Even before the raging debate between the agitators and the unit started, Raviteja has left the spot in his car, say sources. 

Earlier Sunil's Poola Rangadu and Manchu Manoj's Mr.Nokia faced same kind of situations while shooting in the outskirts of the city. Shouryam fame Shiva is the director of this movie while red-hot Taapsee is paired opposite Raviteja for the second time.

Producer pays Double Tax for Heroine!?

Already, our producers are paying double and triple remunerations to heroines to get their dates. Off course, they collect this back from audiences with the 'oomph' of them.
 
There comes this producer who got ready to pay a 'double' tax to the government for his hot heroine. We are talking about YVS Chowdary and his upcoming NIPPU heroine Deeksha Seth. It is heard that Deeksha's teasing peeks of sensuous cleavage shows and delicious thigh feast got a U/A certificate for the movie. A 'U' certificate holder needs to pay 7% of income as entertainment tax, whereas a U/A holder should donate a mere 14%. People from YVS Camp are saying that this is not a big deal for them as the raw-deal given by Deeksha Seth on-screen is much bigger than that. 

Apparently, if the delicious glamour of this sizzling chick can pull thousands of audiences in the B & C centres along with Raviteja's mass-magic, there is no problem to pay a little extra tax. Control the wild going imaginations till the movie releases guys!

Affair-free Nayanatara on a signing spree!

Nayanthara, who thought of quitting film industry in order to marry Prabhu Deva, has reconsidered her decision and decided to act for some more time. Differences with Prabhu Deva have something to do with her decision change say the buzz.

Whatever might be the reason, Nayan decided to act again and the film industry is happy about it. Right now South film industry has been facing shortage of heroines. There are hardly any options when it comes to choosing an actress who could perform as well as look glamorous. Nayanthara is one of the very few who fits in such characters.

That is the reason why industry folks didn't like the news of Nayan's 'voluntary retirement'. To their merry Nayan is back in business and singing up new films. After Nagarjuna's film, Nayan has signed a couple more movies claims the reports. If the reports are to be believed, she will be doing a film each with Raviteja and Ajith soon.
