Orange Movie Behind Pawan-Renu split?


Pawan Kalyan and Renu Desai are not staying together at the moment. Renu moved to her parents place in Pune and has been staying there from few months. Their well wishers and friends are trying to sort out the differences and Renu is reluctant to come back at this point. What led to the split? Why did Pawan and Renu who evaded all the odds to stay together all these years have been separated now? The buzz from filmnagar says that Orange movie is the reason for this split. We all know that Nagababu has gone bankrupt with this film. He lost so much money on it and was under severe pressure.
Pawan Kalyan came to his rescue and gave away his hard earned money for the sake of brother. This didn't go down well with Renu Desai as she has seen none of his family members helped Pawan Kalyan out during his tough days. He sold off his editing suite and all his belongings post Jhonny and no one came to his rescue then. Even Nagababu didn't pay him properly for Gudumba Shankar, say grapevine. Therefore, Renu is not happy with Pawan's decision to bail out Nagababu. But Pawan acted against her will and hurt by this she went away with kids. Pawan Kalyan has been trying hard to keep the relation alive and afloat. Let's hope they sort out their differences soon.

Dookudu Is A Miracle @ Mahesh Babu


Prince Mahesh Babu is riding high with the success of his latest offering ‘Dookudu’ and the film has received the second highest opening in the US after Aamir Khan’s ‘3 Idiots’. Recently, Mahesh was sharing his thoughts and here are few excerpts

Stuck with ‘Pokiri’:Mahesh mentioned that his film ‘Pokiri’ was remade two years ago with Salman Khan and it became a massive hit. But he got stuck to that image and that’s why his later movies didn’t click. So, he decided to take an year off and made his comeback with ‘Dookudu’. He is happy with the response as well.

Down-to-earth nature:
Despite his stardom, Mahesh has been quite down to earth. He maintains that this is due to his ‘regular’ upbringing from his father superstar Krishna. He recalled how they used to travel in autos and kept life as normal as possible. Mahesh admitted that he lost out on one year of school due to his stint as a child artist. His father got worried and advised him to act only when he is older. So Mahesh went back to school.

Publicity & learning:
Mahesh reportedly confessed that in the start, the attention he got from people stressed him out and it took time for him to get used to it and feel relaxed. He adds that the place is amazing as there is opportunity to meet so many people and learn many things. The prince states that he is growing as a human being everyday.

Bollywood:
Mahesh makes it clear that it will take two years for him to step into Bollywood even if he wants it because of his ongoing projects. Currently, he is shooting for ‘The Businessman’ in Mumbai. He added that the response to ‘Dookudu’ is actually a miracle and this has given him more responsibilities. Apparently, the director is keen on doing the Hindi version with Mahesh but the price prefers to focus only on south for now.

Bollywood connection:
Mahesh mentioned that if at all he made his debut in Bollywood, it would be with a proper role and not through some side role. His connection to the circuit is his wife actress Namrata Shirodkar.

Marriage and popularity:
Mahesh stated that his marriage with Namrata didn’t affect his popularity and instead, it made him even more famous. He beamed with pride that after the birth of his son Gautham, his whole perspective changed. The prince beams with pride and mentions that once a person becomes a dad, he becomes a man.
 
That’s Mahesh Babu for you folks!!

Cherry, an iron leg in Upasana family?



Young hero Ram Charan Teja a.k.a Cherry must be very much excited to become the “damaad” of Apollo group chairman Pratap C Reddy’s family, but one wonders whether he has turned out to be an iron leg for them.
There is a talk that the Apollo family, which has the clean track record and high reputation in the business, has been in trouble in connection with the sensational 2G spectrum scandal ever since it has decided to invite Ram Charan Teja into the family by getting him married to Reddy’s granddaughter Upasana Kamineni.
On Monday, the Central Bureau of Investigation authorities raided the house of Suneetha Reddy, second daughter of Pratap C Reddy and director (finance) of the Apollo group and confiscated several documents pertaining to allotment of 2G spectrum to mobile service provider Aircel, of whom she was the chairperson in 2005. Suneetha happens to be the sister of Shobana Kamineni, mother of Upasana Kamineni.
On September 15, too, the CBI authorities reportedly grilled Suneetha in connection with the Aircel-Maxis deal involved in the 2G spectrum allotments. The CBI recorded her statement as part of the preliminary inquiry.
Suneetha has two more sisters – Prita Reddy and Sangeetha Reddy. While Prita is the group MD, Sangeetha is the MD of Apollo hospitals. Shobhana is the director (projects) of the group. One wonders whether the family is now viewing Cherry as an iron leg.

Mahesh The Business Man @ First Look



Wife Forces Mahesh Babu For Bollywood Entry


There was a time when Bollywood was meant to be the final destination for heroines from the south. But now, the trend has developed into the directors and slowly it has got onto the heroes as well. Now, it is heard that a wife has been forcing her hot husband to focus on an entry in Bollywood.

She is none other than Namrata and the man in focus is Mahesh Babu. Apparently, Mahesh came up with Hindi dialogues in his movie ‘Dookudu’. The overall appeal due to that was good. Now, it is heard that Namratha’s desire is to see her hubby in Bollywood.

However, another talk is that Mahesh is not comfortable with the idea of rolling out Hindi dialogues or making a mark in Bollywood. As such, director Sreenu Vaitla included those lines for fun since there was Mumbai backdrop. But then, the dialogues worked with good nativity. With this, Namratha is reportedly encouraging Mahesh Babu to focus on Bollywood.

Those who heard this say if Mahesh Babu thinks Bollywood is not a big deal at all and he can rock even there.

Jayasudha's Son Focusing On Movies


It is a common trend to see sons and daughters of actors taking the same line. And it is also common to see the senior actors doing their best to groom their children to become big stars. Right now, something like that is said to be happening at the household of senior actress Jayasudha.
Well, the talk is about Jayasudha’s son Nihar. Now, the striking thing about this lad is he stands at 6 feet 6 inches height which is an understatement of tall. There is no actor in the history of Indian cinema who holds that height.
Now, it is heard that Nihar has been focusing big time on his physique and is busy developing his muscles before he makes his debut.
Sources say that Nihar is open for any type of role and wants to prove himself as a versatile and natural performer like his mother. As such, Jayasudha is known as ‘Sahaja Nati’ so with Nihar taking his mother’s footsteps, it will be interesting to see how he would look with a muscular physique.

Apparently, Sunil has been seen with a 6 pack body since long. This was for his new movie ‘Napoleon’. But till now, there is no news about the project. But then the body maintenance has to be done. Sources say this is slated to be a big budget movie and it can work out very well for Sunil’s career.

However, the movie is not progressing for various reasons, as per cine sources. But Sunil has been continuing his tight schedule and following strict diet, protein food and stressing himself to keep himself in the six pack shape. Buzz is that this has become the cause of worrying in his family. They are hoping ‘Napoleon’ takes off soon and Sunil gets back to normal.

Time for Power Full 'Panjaa'



Minimal knowledge on Telugu films is enough to say that Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu and Junior NTR are a set of heroes whose reach in public goes on increasing with each film. Either a flop or a disaster will never hinder their ever increasing following. Collections of a dud ‘Komaram Puli’ or an average ‘Khaleja’ or a hit ‘Brindavanam’ will showcase their range.
This year, we have seen ‘Dookudu’ and ‘Oosaravelli’ showing the value of Star Power in Tollywood almost browbeating ‘Magadheera.’ As Mahesh and NTR are done with their duties to lift the spirits of struggling Telugu cinema, now next hero in the queue would be definitely Pawan Kalyan. If cards fall in right places, upcoming ‘panjaa’ might cross Rs.100 Crore mark easily. Constraint being Power in Pawan Kalyan should be utilized fully by director Vishnuvardhan. So, let us wait till December to witness a new chapter in Telugu cinema history.

Mega fans enjoying 'Big Fight'



The two big releases within the gap of seven days, mahesh babu's Dookudu and Jr.NTR's Oosaravelli have resulted in a lot of drama, excitement and expectations among the fans as well as the film loving public. The fans of the two heroes are now in a bitter war of words with one another.
Both the sides are claiming that their film has grossed the highest amount, their hero's film has beaten all previous records of first day collections etc. etc. The figures of total collections, share, gross, number of screens etc, are being released to the media. The figures given by both the groups may not be exactly correct, as there is sure to be some exaggeration; the fans on both sides are still making tall claims.
The Mega fans have remained neutral in all this and are now enjoying the bitter fight among the mahesh babu and Jr.NTR fans. They are happy to lap up the free tamasha that is being witnessed on TV as well as websites. 

NTR's dream for 'Sagara Sangamam'



The cult movie of ‘Sagara Sangamam’ is the dream to achieve for Mass Hero junior ntr. Yes, this sounds little erratic but Young Tiger is the best classical dancer in Telugu industry currently. His core strength in dances is one of the main factors that made him stand on top. From last two to three years, Tarak has entirely changed his selection of projects. 
Speaking to a daily he said, ‘Before the happening of ‘Rakhi,’ I went through several flops. From then on, I have grown up step by step. If my life is treated like a movie, then I strongly feel that all the films released before ‘Oosaravelli’ are like scrolling of title cards and ‘Oosaravelli’ is like completion of my introduction scene. Interval, Climax will be my future movies. I am maturing as an artist with each film. My dream as an artist will be achieved totally, when I remake the classic ‘Sagara Sangamam’ without a single fight.’

Mahesh & NTR - Who is running behind whom?



An astonishing talk is circulated in media circles about mahesh babu’s ‘Dookudu’ and Junior NTR’s ‘Oosaravelli’ trying to stab each others market. Ever since the release date of ‘Oosaravelli’ is confirmed as October 6, there was an initial positive talk in film circles on the movie which very soon on the release day turned into a divided verdict and as the weekend has come to an end, there is a clear cut judgment  that ‘Oosaravelli’ is trailing behind.
While close circles to ‘Oosaravelli’ makers and Nandamuri Fans feel that a section of public are deliberately circulating a negative talk on their film, Prince Fans supporting ‘Dookudu’ success are also complaining the same regarding a sharp drop in their collections. Well, who is running behind whom is unknown but both these films are rewriting the industry records is an open truth.

Dil Raju's first time with Ram Charan



Successful producer Dil Raju has now announced that he will make a film with Ram Charan as hero. This is the first time that Dil Raju is making a film with Ram Charan. The film will be directed by Vamsi Paidipalli of Munna and Brindavanam fame.
 Ram Charan is now currently busy with Rachhca being directed by Sampat Nandi. Ram Charan will shoot for the new film as soon as he is finished with Rachcha. Details about the heroines, star cast and crew will be announced shortly.

Tarak foresees 200 Cr collections in 2017


It is absolutely true that while our neighborhood Tamil heroes are increasing their reach with each film, our Telugu heroes are more extensively working within a stipulated zone. When junior ntr is asked the same question on why are our heroes failing to capture the market of neighborhood states, he said ‘Our industry is in a transformation stage. Our Telugu films are releasing in distant overseas markets where people never had a chance to watch on release day. Audiences in Japan are practicing my dance steps after watching the film ‘Ashok.’ We have grown heaps and bounds on International scale. I foresee a collection of nearly Rs.200 Crore for a Telugu movie by the year 2017. This is an indication of growth.’
