Allu Sirish movie aim to huge collections

Of course it is a known fact that heroes charge lots of remuneration when they are at peaks. But starting career with a dream to make huge money never makes any actor a big hero.

Apparently, Allu Sirish is getting launched as a hero with the movie ‘Gowravam’ that is going to hit screens on April 19th. Producer Dil Raju revealed an interesting fact as to how Sirish has chosen to become a hero than being a producer like his dad. ‘Sirish told me that only heroes can amass money but not producers’, said Dil Raju, at the trailer launch of Gowravam. But we have seen how Sirish’s projects like a ‘cinema magazine’ went for a toss when he thought of making huge money. They say that Sirish has selected right profession to make big money, but all are not successful here as heroes and actors.

The young actor must focus on acting and developing his fan base rather talking about ‘money’ matters now, says a critic. We have to see how Mega fans will react to all this stuff. 

Sampath Nandi to direct Gabbar Singh 2

In a shocking development, Pawan Kalyan has offered the chance to direct sequel to Gabbar Singh for Sampath Nandi of Racha fame.

As per the reliable sources, Sampath Nandi would be directing this prestigious sequel as Harish Shankar who directed the original will be busy for the next few months with NTR's untitled flick. While Pawan's friend Sharath Marar is going to produce the movie, the actor himself would be presenting it on his home banner 'Pawan Kalyan Creative Works'. Regular shooting begins from mid-May this year.

Director Sampath Nandi has two hits (Racha, Yemaindhi Ee Vela) under his belt, but still a lot of questions were raised on his directorial skills. Is he capable of proving the critics and film buffs who has written him off wrong is a million dollar question now! The Box Office fate of this crazy project will be a big test for Pawan's judgement skills as well. One shouldn't forget the fact that even Harish Shankar wasn't a big name in the Industry before Gabbar Singh. 

Commando film review

Film: "Commando";
Cast: Vidyut Jamwal, Pooja Chopra, and Jaideep Ahlawat;
 Director: Dilip Ghosh;
Rating: 3.5/5

Without the risk of exaggeration we can 'safely' say Vidyut Jamwal takes the kind of risks in his action scenes that we haven't seen in any screen-hero from any part of the world. The choreographic precision with which Vidyut flips, somersaults, and fells his adversaries is a sign of an exceptionally skilled action-hero.

Te be sure, a star is born in "Commando". We saw Vidyut completely upstage John Abraham in the hand-to-hand heart-in-mouth fight scenes in "Force". Now, Vidyut proves himself a maestro of unequalled sinewy skills, gliding rather than fighting, pre-empting the adversary's moves almost like a chess game.

With tongue firmly in shriek mode, Vidyut in one of the early stunts scenes of the film rips open a poster of "Force" and attacks the baddies. The action never stops. And the song breaks, especially an item song in the second-half by Nathalia Kaur, are unwelcome speed breakers.

We really don't want to see Vidyut romance the pretty Punjabi damsel in distress played by Pooja Chopra who seems a tad too well-groomed for the rigours of the jungle.

Not that we care. We just want to see Vidyut take on the bad guys, full-force. And boy, does Vidyut deliver!

Admaker-turned-feature film director Dilip Ghosh keeps the plot wisely simple ramrod-straight and to the point.

Apart from those utterly annoying song breaks, there are no digressions from the dynamics of instant score-settling. It's a straight one-to-one fight-to-finish between the silently simmering Commando and a satanic goon from a small-town in Punjab with no eyeballs and apparently no balls either, who believes the power of the gun and the strength of Santa-Banta SMS jokes can be co-ordinated in one range of activity.

Jaideep Ahlawat, last seen giving a riveting performance in Kamal Haasan's "Vishawaroop", gives to the goon's part a wacky spin. The man is half-devil half-imbecile. The goon makes Simrit (Pooja) an offer - either a suhaag-raat with him after the wedding, or a 'suhaag raat' with him and all his battle-stained cronies right away? Hmmm?

Is it any wonder that the pretty spunky Punjabi lass makes a run for the jungles rather than accept the goon's marriage proposal. Predictably, Simrit runs into the banished army-man, our commando-hero, who seems to have seen the collected Rambo series back-to-back at least eight-10 times.

The first time Vidyut plays the saviour at a bus stand, we know he means business. He is not just a one-man army, he is also the Indian army's favourite bete noire. Despite the heavy burden of playing protector to country and the leading lady, Vidyut's fights manage to bring in a lot of warmth and some humour in their execution.

The narration is an unabashed homage to Sylvester Stallone's jungle-survival saga. And yet, thanks to Vidyut's powerful screen presence the combat between the commando-hero and the goons never slackens in pace. The physical combats, which are undoubtedly the crux of the theme, propel the plot forward in leaps of inspired action.

Happily for Vidyut, his opponents are not shown to be ineffectual jokers. The back-and-forth of fists and rhetoric are uniformly engaging. Though we know exactly where the protagonist's one-man battle against his enemies is heading, we never lose interest in the plot.

The film is shot on some interesting locations. The backwaters of Punjab and the thick jungles serve as just the right ambience for the rugged actioner.

Vidyut takes care of the rest. His action definitely speaks louder than his words.

Sejal Shah's cinematography and Ritesh Shah's dialogues constantly add to Vidyut's fist-power, imbuing his combat to the finish with some unexpected flourishes of serious socio-political comment towards the end when we are told we need to clean up our act if we want to protect the country from external threats.

It's a one-man-show off all the way. Pooja shows flashes of talent when she isn't busy brazenly aping Kareena Kapoor's voluble-Punjabi act from "Jab We Met".

Not her fault. If the hero is a silent seething ball of implosive fire, and the heroine is a talkative Punjabi girl who runs away from home to escape an unwanted marriage, 'phir toh boss "Jab We Met" banta hai'.

To its credit "Commando" creates a climate of clenched conflict for the hero to vent his voluminous talent as a martial artiste.

Indeed, a star is born.

Mahesh and Amithab together

Here is the exclusive pic of Amitabh Bachchan and Mahesh Babu at the Nandi Awards ceremony held at Telugu Lalitha Kala Thoranam on Thursday.

While Amitabh graced the award function to receive NTR National Award, Mahesh was present to pocket another Nandi (Best Actor) for his stellar performance in Dookudu. This is a snap taken when they came face-to-face with each other at the awards night. The two big stars seems to be sharing a lighter moment, and the third person in the picture is Krishna's brother Adi Seshagiri Rao.

Jr NTR gift to Harish Shankar

Highly impressed with the efforts put in by Harish Shankar to deliver a blockbuster, Jr NTR gifted a Breitling watch to the hotshot director.

"BREITLING Watch gifted by Young Tiger. Saaaar it's too "heavy" gift. It's Just AweeeeeeeeSome thank You Young Tiger," an excited Harish shared his happiness with fans on the micro blogging site.

Of course, this isn't the first time NTR has done something like this! During the shoot of Baadshah, the actor presented a similar watch to his director Srinu Vytla.

Whatever the reason behind this special gifts might be, one thing is for sure - NTR is having a great rapport with these ace filmmakers. So, we could expect few more successful films in their combination in future.

Rajinikanth with Deepika

Superstar Rajinikanth featured on the cover of a Tamil magazine along with his 'Kochadaiyaan' (Vikram Simha in Telugu) co-star Deepika Padukone. Usually, the cover page will have the pictures from a photo session, but this one is different as it was taken during the shooting of the film.

While Rajini was seen in his regular off-screen avatar sans makeup & the wig, Deepika appeared in a casual outfit and she could make other beauties run for their money with that unmatchable hotness quotient. Enjoy the pic folks!

Call Me, If You Don't Like My Film

Yes, this is the bumber offer announced by debutante director Vachaspati Jonnalagadda who's film 'Chemistry' will hit the screens on April 19th.

Surprisingly, the young filmmaker dared to reveal his phone number to garner much-needed free publicity for this diretorial debut. "Chemistry is a clean entertainer. No one would feel like the wastage of time and money after watching our film. Anyone can call me to my mobile number (90326 55568), if they don't like the movie," announced Vachaspati, in the press meet.

Though this move is innovative, the director might land in trouble if the film fails to live-up to the expectations of the audience as abusive calls might be coming his way.

Chemistry is based on the life of a young couple before and post their marriage. Sriram Kodali and Amitha Rao are playing the leads in the film. Music is by Viswanatham Ghantasala and produced by Uday Kumar.

petrol replaced with alcohol!!!

One of the man's oldest pastimes has been making alcoholic drinks from fermented plants.But today,as oil is running out and its price is high, alcohol from plants is being put to another use-providing an alternate fuel for vehicles.World's largest producer of fuel alcohol from plants is Brazil.

When crisis occurred in 1973,Brazil launched its alcohol program in two years,in response to the increasing costs of importing fuel.They use a raw material with a low market value and which they grow in abundance(sugar cane).

Initially the process is same whether the end product is to be an expensive brandy,or fuel alcohol which can drive a car.

Procedure: Raw sugar is mixed with water and yeast and fermented in large tanks,until it turns into an alcoholic liquid,rather like wine or beer.

100%(200 proof) alcohol is needed for fuel,so to concentrate the mixture it is distilled.This is done by heating the liquid to vaporise the alcohol,then condensing the vapour to extract the alcohol and leave the water behind.This last stage,to produce anhydrous alcohol,needs a lot of energy,and has led criticisms that producing fuel in this way can actually consume more energy than it provides.

Despite this alcohol production in Brazil has boomed.More than 80% of cars sold in Brazil now run on pure alcohol,or a mix of alcohol and petrol,and the bill for imported oil is down by about $2 billion a year.Annual production is over 11 billion litres and will need increase by another 2 billion litres to keep up with demand.

loneliness is a disease

Everyone has felt a sense of isolation at some time in his or her life.A death in the family or of someone close, divorce,job loss,retirement,even leaving home for college can trigger intense feelings of loneliness.But alienation is deeper and more lasting than the loneliness that often follows misfortune or a major change in life-style.It is a sense of apartness or social isolation,a loss of values,a questioning of ones identify,a feeling of powerlessness.

For some people loneliness may result from the circumstances of their lives.

Shy or introverted people are also prone yo loneliness because they are not able to make friends easily.

Experts believe that early childhood experiences are the source.

Poverty,racism,cultural isolation -all breed alienation.

Cure:Try to talk more with them.

History of religion

We are immersed in our own cultures as fish in sea.Culture is a blanket term for society and its traditions,religion,government and customs such as ceremonies,dress,songs,dances and games.The beliefs were instilled in their members from childhood to preserve them.

Before a language introduced to communicate there are priests,storytellers and bards to spread their religion and their habits.

Trojan War

The Trojan War was once thought to be purely imaginary. Now that the site of Troy has been discovered,we know that a battle really took place there,though it probably had less historic importance than Homer's epic suggests.The poem celebrates virtues admired in classical Greece,especially loyalty and courage in battle.

Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe was adored by millions,yet she often felt isolated.Ultimately she died a lonely death from an overdose of sleeping pills.

Nandhamuri Balakrishna is directing his 100th film


It is known that Nandamuri Balakrishna is out of action from the past few months as he is busy with the activities of Basavatarakam Cancer Hospital and TDP. The actor is now planning to complete the 100th film milestone before 2014 general polls. Balayya's last outing Srimannarayana happens to be his 98th flick and he will join the elite club with another two more flicks.

Impressed with the storyline narrated by Boyapati Seenu, Balakrishna has given his nod for the project which will be his 99th flick. Balayya-Boyapati's Simha has delivered a blockbuster 'Simha' in the past and a lot of expectations were riding on their next film. Their upcoming commercial potboiler will go to floors in May.

After Boyapati's film, Balakrishna is planning 100th film under his own direction and it would a project with bigger canvas. He has already worked on the script and the regular shoot begins by the end of 2013. If Balayya could score back-to-back hits at this crucial juncture, it will be a big boost to the morale of his fans and TDP cadre.

Sriya and Richa visited Thirumala

 Sriya and Richa visited Thirumala


Two beautiful heroines of our tinsel town are on a holy mission now to take God’s blessings for the success of their latest ventures. With almost all doors closed for them, they have knocked the seven doors of Lord Balaji it seems.

Senior siren Shriya Saran and struggling heroine Richa Gangopadhyay visited Tirumala the other day to seek divine intervention into their careers. Shriya is said to be expecting the revival of her lost glory in Southern tinsel towns as her Telugu movie Pavitra, Kannada flick ‘Chandra’ are gearing for release. Richa on the other hand want to thank God for giving her second hit of the career through ‘Mirchi’. Both the actress have visited the holy shrine in two separate incidents and refused to talk with fans.

Cine analysts however say that Shriya has crossed her prime already and it is too much to expect to become sought after starlet again. Coming to Richa, she is to get right offers at right time to become a top starlet.

hero Mahesh and director puri on hatrik

 Mahesh Babu and Puri Jaganath are ready to make a Hatrik !!


Yes, Mahesh Babu and Puri Jagannath are back again! The third outing from this deadly combination will go to floors by the end of 2013.

Few months ago, Puri came up with a fantastic storyline for their third flick and Mahesh gave his nod immediately after the narration. The actor even suggested the director to prepare a bound script before beginning the regular shoot, so that the shooting process will be much easier. During the time when the shoot of Iddarammayilatho got delayed by few months due to location issues in Spain, Puri developed the entire script and after hearing the full narration Mahesh is dying to begin the shoot.

Pokiri (2006) and Businessman (2012) has set the cash registers ringing at the Box Office. The characterization of protogonist in both these films were never seen before ones on Telugu screen. Let's see what there in store this time!

Currently, Mahesh Babu is busy with Sukumar's film and he will join Srinu Vytla's Aagadu in July. On the other hand, Puri is working round the clock to release Iddarammayilatho in Summer and he would be directing another film before kickstarting Mahesh's project. So, Mahesh-Puri's power packed action will begin either in November or December.

Jackie Chan using Militory number plates to escape tolls

Jackie Chan using Militory number plates to escape tolls


Photographs showing actor Jackie Chan using a car with military plates - which carry exemptions from tolls and other fees - have spurred controversy in China, the South China Morning Post said Friday.

In the snapshots posted on Weibo, China's counterpart to Twitter, the Hollywood star and two women are seen getting into the car.

There is nothing to indicate exactly when or where the photos were taken, but their posting on Weibo unleashed a torrent of angry comments about the abuse of military license plates in China.

Weibo users cited instances of officials' using vehicles with military plates while on personal business even as China's incoming president, Xi Jinping, has urged public servants to avoid extravagance.

In Chan's case, he was photographed in 2010 using a military-registered vehicle.

"Has our military hired Jackie Chan to teach the soldiers martial arts?," Yu Jianrong, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said on Weibo.

China's defense ministry announced Thursday that the army will adopt a new style of license plate in a bid to stop the spreading use of false military plates.

Sheryln Chopra Inspiration to other actresses in Industry


Of late, many girls' especially unsuccessful women in modelling industry are seen shedding all pieces of cloths for their silver screen. One such beauty is now spoiling eight more girls in her next flick.

Sheryln Chopra, touted to be a sex-goddess, is busy finding other ways to lure youths ever since her Playboy show became an utter flop with the magazine not release her photo shoot. Using the film 'K@masutr@ 3D' to the core, Sheryln has already shocked Indians with her frontal nudity.

Raana Daggubati as Police again

Among those star-kids suffering without hits in Telugu industry, this Daggubati hero is one big name. Here is his latest affair with Police, and this one is expected to give him some flying colors.

Police roles have always showered hits for senior Daggubati hero, Venkatesh. Most of the films where he played IPS roles are hits at Box Office, while there are some duds too.

On the flip side, Rana is playing a villain role for the first time in his career aside hero Prabhas in Rajamouli's next magnum opus 'Baahubali'. This is the first time for a Daggubati hero to go negative on screen. Wish him luck folks!

Mahesh Babu fans buying theatre for records

 Mahesh Babu fans buying theatre for records


A big rumour erupted in media circles this morning saying that Superstar Mahesh Babu's fans are spending huge money to buy records for 'Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu'. Let us get into details.

As we reported earlier in these columns, SVSC is running in 25 theatres for its 50 days, but it will be tough to make upto 100 days. Fans of Hero Mahesh Babu, who expected this happening, are said to be paying money to theatres for the deficit amount and making the movie run for 100 days. Some reports claimed that a cash-rich fan of Mahesh Babu paid 23 lakhs to Sudarshan 35 mm theatre located at RTC X roads to run the movie for 100 days without any break.

A theatre should prepare to lose more than 50 thousand per day, if they want screen a film even without audience. So, if that amount is paid, then they can run film even for years.While authenticity of the information could not be verified, some say that there will be no smoke without fire.
