Businessman collections dropped

There is a huge decline in the collections (First Day – 9.03 crores, Second Day – 3.97 crores) of Mahesh Babu’s Businessman. Though the makers of the film claimed that all the tickets for the first four days have been sold out even before the release with the advance booking facility, that didn’t reflect in the collections and eventually raising many doubts.

One reason for the huge decline is because of another big release ‘Bodyguard’, which stars Venkatesh and Trisha, in the Sankranthi race. Few section of audience (Family) have decided to stay away from ‘Businessman’ due to the Adult content, despite the film having a Universal Star like Mahesh Babu in the lead. Instead, they are preferring ‘Bodyguard’, which is touted to be a clean family entertainer.

As of now, the chances of Businessman crossing Dookudu collections look bleak.

Chiru Fans get irritated with Ram Charan

Young Hero Ram Charan, who was projected as the successor to Chiranjeevi in Film Industry, is irritating the hardcore fans of the Mega family with his moves.

Though Charan has fulfilled the thirst of his fans to some extent with the magnum opus ‘Magadheera’, his third film ‘Orange’ has bitten the dust. Sadly, even after nearly 14 months of Orange release (November 26, 2010), there is no official confirmation about the release date of his upcoming film ‘Racha’. And the most annoying thing is the stuff Charan has been posting on his twitter page.

Ram Charan’s Tweets – “I’m addicted to angry birds game on my ipad. I can’t just give up…I’m becoming angrier as I play this game”, “A beautiful quote by Chanakya “Don’t be too honest in this World, Because Straight Trees are always Chosen 1st for Cutting…!!”.

“What’s the use of posting such things on Twitter? At least, he should try to post some film related news or pics to make us happy,” a mega fan said.

Apparently, Mega Fans were irked with the back-to-back hits delivered by Mahesh Babu. “When Chiru was in films, the fans of other heroes used to look up to us. But now, the situation has changed. Our fans were showing interest to join other heroes fan clubs,” opined another hardcore fan of Chiru.

The responsibility lies heavily on Ram Charan to protect the interest of the fans, who were a hard-earned wealth of his father. Hope Charan understands the pain of his fans

Comedian targets Chiranjeevi!

Comedian turned hero Sunil is trying hard to settle down as big commercial hero. He is only entertaining stories that gives him scope to showcase all his skills. Sunil is asking for subjects that made Chiranjeevi the Megastar of Telugu cinema, said a source from film industry.

Recently a couple of directors met Sunil with an out and out comedy subjects and to their amusement, Sunil suggested them to meet another hero who is known for doing comedy films. He told them to meet him if they have commercial subjects like Gharana Mogudu and Rowdy Alludu!

Sunil is a diehard fan of Chiranjeevi and he was his inspiration to take up acting profession. Chiranjeevi also started his career with small roles and later did villain characters before turning into a hero and then a top star. Sunil chose comedian roles to lay roads to become hero and he is on a mission to shed that comedic image with six pack abs and action packed entertainers. Way to go Sunil! 

Sexy heroine's Rs 10 lakhs per minute for walking

If you are wondering why there are many in this society who are crazy about getting into film industry then here is one example. The money that can be made if one shoots to fame is phenomenal and here is one starlet who seems to charge in lakhs per minute for her presence. 

She is the angel of beauty Katrina Kaif and here is an update. Sources say Kats has agreed to be part of a fashion event in Kochi and she would be walking the ramp as well. Buzz is that Kats would be on the ramp for exactly ten minutes and she would be getting a whopping Rs 1 crore for that. 

This means that for each minute, Katrina would be getting Rs 10 lakhs. However, the organizers of the event are not hesitating to shell that money as they feel that the very presence of Kats is enough to call the event a grand success. This is scheduled to take place on March 25th. 

Akkineni and Daggubati heroes fail!

The younger generation heroes from Akkineni and Daggubati families have been failing time and again to impress. Rana Daggubati's latest film Naa Ishtam turned out to be a dud, and moreover it is a big letdown when it comes to Rana's acting skills. Rana proved that he cannot carry a commercial film on his shoulders. Any other able hero would have made Naa ishtam a watchable fare. 

                Unless he comes up with an extra ordinary show in his future ventures, Rana Daggubati cannot win the faith of audience. Young Akkineni hero Naga Chaitanya is better than Rana in few aspects, but he too needs to sharpen his skills to be considered as an actor to watch out for. He is at home while portraying roles of boy next door in the films YMC and 100% Love. 

                Naga Chaitanya failed to impress when he did larger than life roles in Bezawada and Dhada. He is yet to prove as a commercial mass hero and with what we watched of him till now it would be a daunting task for the youngster to impress as a mass hero. Maybe these heroes should first concentrate upon banking on their skills and attempt mass films after few years.

Shankar eyeing Vikram now

The showman of the south Shankar scored a blockbuster hit with the film Robot and now it is heard that he is preparing for a new project. For this, it is heard that he is looking at Kollywood star Vikram as the hero. If you can recall, both Shankar and Vikram teamed up for the blockbuster hit Aparachitudu. For now, no formal announcement has been made regarding the project and Shankar is reportedly busy preparing the script. Let us see how this goes.

Rana back to work after injury

But now he is back and has resumed work. The film is directed by the intellectual Krish and it has the gracious beauty Nayantara as the leading lady.

Telugu Girls Sidelined By Brazil Beauty

When a hot sensation takes over a place, ultimately the previous sirens have to run back to pavilion. Two such Telugu girls, who anticipated high hopes, are now upset with Brazilian chic's entry!

Apparently, Lakshmi Manchu and Madushalini expected huge fame after signing Ram Gopal Varma's upcoming Hindi flick 'Department'. Both these babes made media carry huge stories about them for their roles in that movie. However, after the release of trailer, many people have forgotten about them as they got no show in that pre-release buzz. The other day director Ramu released another teaser featuring Brazilian model Nathalia Kaur. Given his liking for hot women and curvaceous bodies, Ramu is said to be promoting Nathalia a lot, but neglecting our Telugu girls. 

Maybe it is okay for Lakshmi, as she is having Mani Ratnam's film on hand, which is a better one than these entire flicks. But, Madhushalini should be upset as she is having no work in hand other than 'Department'.

Mahesh to shake leg with Kajal again

Prince Mahesh Babu and the saucy seductress Kajal Agarwal showed exceptional screen chemistry in their recent release Businessman. Now, it is heard that the duo is pairing up once again to repeat the act. This is happening for the new movie which is being directed by the psychological director Sukumar. The song shooting will be taking place at the famous Annapurna Studios and the choreographer for this would be Prem Rakshit. The music is composed by the talented Devi Sri Prasad.

Rajinikanth reveals truth about '3'

A strong grapevine was making rounds since the last few days that superstar Rajinikanth has got a business interest in the recent release 3. Sources said that the superstar was taking care of the distribution of the film in Andhra Pradesh. However, the man himself came into the open and replied. He has conveyed through his spokesperson that he has nothing to do with the film and has requested the distributors not to buy any such talk. This is directed by Aishwarya Dhanush and has the seductive beauty Shruti Haasan along with Dhanush.

Bloody Fights Between Mega and Mahesh Fans

Nellore, Narthaki Centre has become witness for the clashes of Megastar's and Superstar's fans. Reports say that 'records' are the reason for the conflicts between these two fan groups.

When overwhelmed fans of Ram Charan tried to erect flexi-sign board, which state the records of his recent movie 'Racha', Mahesh Babu's admirers obstructed it. They too wanted to erect another sign board that claims all 'Racha' records are bogus and only 'Dookudu' 'Businessman' records are true. With a fight erupting between the two groups, their supporters joined at large to make it a big scene, which eventually led to fighting with sticks. Police have turned up at the scene on time and have taken situation under control according to reports. 

Film Nagar is shocked with these happenings in Nellore and big-wigs are saying that fans are going over-board in promoting their heroes. Let us hope stars will interfere into the matter and cool down the issue.

Hot Heroine Denies 1 Crore Rumors

From a couple of days, remunerations of our top stars have become the topic of industry. All this started when Priyanka Chopra's people raked the issue of her ransom, which they say is more than Mega Powerstar's.

Bollywood sources have already confirmed that RamCharan is getting paid 12 crores for 'Zanjeer' and Priyanka will be packing 5.5 crores only. Coming to the point, it is widely believed that south sirens Anushka, Nayantara, Ileana and Kajal have joined one crore club long back. But, Sexy Anushka has denied that she is demanding a crore. A close source to Anushka says that Tamil industry never pays remunerations as much as they are paid in Telugu circuit. 'Right now, she is accepting Tamil offers at a cost below that what all you expect', the source adds. 

Reports indicate that Tollywood is the only place after Bollywood among Indian film circuits to pay such whopping sums as remuneration. A heroine who demands more than 80 lakhs here is getting paid only 35 lakhs in Kannada circuit and 20-30 lakhs in Malayalam. Unlike Bollywood, our heroes and heroines never revealed the true figure they demand!

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. 

Real Cause For 'Rebel' Delay!

Contrary to the much publicized reason for the delay of 'Rebel', Lawrence is not the man behind this snail's pace of the movie production. Insiders revealed surprising elements about this flick, which is expected for this summer.

Prabhas 'Rebel' seems to have some muhurtam problems like our state Chief Minister and is flying all possible ways to get delayed. While Lawrence's health issues are just a fraction in delay, milky beauty Tamanna's dates are said to be the primary cause. 'Tamanna's dates are the biggest issue behind the delay of Rebel. She allocated 'jumping' dates to us and has never finalized a perfect set', says a unit member. Tamanna allocated dates to 'Racha' and 'Endukante Premanta' in parallel and there started the entire nexus. 

Right now, she is on 'Rebel' till the end of May and the producers made her sign an agreement that she will push herself into any other movie. That's why she has left the opportunity of shaking her booty beside Mahesh Babu. We wonder, the sufferer in this entire gamble is our rebel star Prabhas, who is having no release from last one year.

Rajamouli Absent & Silent @ Powerstar

Ace director Rajamouli, is the perfect and honest admirer of Powerstar Pawan Kalyan among the elite circle of Telugu directors. Now, he is neither present at 'Gabbar Singh' audio nor talking about it. Absent & Silent!

Rajamouli is an avid cine buff and makes his presence felt at almost all the top grade film functions of Tollywood. However, his absence at 'Gabbar Singh' audio has certainly disappointed some of his fans. But, insiders have put down the fire saying that he is busy with 'Eega' CG work. 'As it is getting common for every film function to invite Rajamouli, the makers have not insisted him to come, and he is also busy with Eega', a source said. 

Even then, Jakkanna rambles on his twitter about the audio and its quality, but that didn't happened. May be Rajamouli is not getting time to listen to 'Gabbar Singh' audio, else he would have rocked his social networking site by now by praising Pawan in all possible ways.

Charan facing biggest challenge of his career

Ram Charan feels stepping into Amitabh Bachchan's shoes with the remake of iconic film Zanjeer is the biggest challenge of his life. "Till now, dealing with being Megastar Chiru's son has been a challenge. But that's nothing when compared with what I'm facing at present," said Charan, when asked how he feels to play the role portrayed by India's biggest star nearly four decades ago.

The young actor is not bothered about the comparisons being drawn between him and Big B. "All through my career, I have gone through constant comparisons. If I think about how I'll be compared with my father or Amit Ji, I wouldn't be able to get into the skin of the character. I just did the things that I'm good at and what came naturally to me," he told.

The Magadheera star says language doesn't matter much and clarified that he sees debuting into Bollywood as just like an extension of what he is already doing.

Boyapati's sentiment in all his movies

Boyapati's sentiment in all his movies

The mass hit director Boyapati Srinu is one man who has not tasted failure so far and sources say the reason for that could be one sentiment he has. Apparently, Boyapati ensures that in every film, there is a character of Brother-In-Law who has a crucial role in the plot. He did that with his debut film Bhadra and followed the same routine with Thulasi. It carried forward in Simha and now Venu Thottempudi is essaying the role of NTR's Brother-In-Law in the forthcoming venture Dhammu.

Milky Babe charges Rs 60 lakhs for 6 days & 6 nights

Milky white beauty Tamanna has replaced Genelia in promoting a soft drink brand 'Fanta' in the Southern region.

Till recently, Genelia has been endorsing the brand. After her marriage with long-time boyfriend Riteish Deshmukh, the soft drink major Coca Cola has decided to replace her with another beauty who can pull it off, instead of renewing the agreement. Finally, the company has roped in Tamanna as their new brand ambassador.

"I'm very selective, when it comes to endorsing a product or a brand. I prefer the brands which suit my image and age. This is a good opportunity to stay in touch with my fans," said Tamanna, when quizzed about the deal.

For a six day call sheet per year, Tamanna will be paid a staggering Rs 60 lakhs. Depending on the requirements, the company will use the services of actress during this period either for promotions or for photoshoots of the brand. With this deal, Tamanna has entered into the list of Top League brand ambassadors. Looks like, She is already enjoying the fruits of 'Racha' success. 

Racha collects record first week share

Ram Charan has set a new benchmark in terms of collections with his recent outing 'Racha'. The film which was released on April 5th turned into a money spinner at the Box Office.

In just one week, the film has raked in Rs 26.92 crore share and Rs. 37.83 crore gross in AP and Karnataka. If the revenues of Overseas, Tamil Nadu (Tamil version Ragalai) and Rest Of India are included, then the first share will be nearly Rs 35 crore. In it's full run, the collections of Racha are expected to cross the 50 crore mark. So, it's celebration time for the Mega fans!

Censor Dhanalaxmi Closed Eyes On 'Racha'

For folks who are new, Dhanalaxmi is a half Telugu, half Tamil Censor officer for AP Censor board. She is known for her 'sharp cutting' works which give tensions to producers and directors. But, her attitude towards 'Racha' became a hot discussion now.

Dhanalaxmi is known for her iron cutting in terms of heroine's waist, navel and cleavage shots. Films like 'Buisnessman' and 'Panjaa' haven't escaped from her scissors and had blurred images all over the skin shows of female artists. Coming to 'Racha', the film was given a U/A certificate saying that all bloodshed was completely eliminated. Then, what about Tamanna's seductive skin shows? Milky beauty made most of her assets pierce the hearts of youth through her glamour on screen.

 In 'Vaana Vaana' song alone Tammu babe oscillates her waist and hip, around three times in front of camera giving an ample view of her shapely back. 'How come Dhanalaxmi spared such a hot show of Tamanna in 'Racha' by closing her eyes', a big-shot producer questioned. They say, this officer doesn't like cleavage and navel show, but bare-backs are fine with her.
