Vandemataram Srinivas "Badmaash" announced - JustTollywood.com News

Srinivas is a talented music director whose music has its mark and carved niche for itself. The musician is now branching out himself to the department of direction. After R P Patnaik turned one with his 'Andamaina Manasulo' and yet-to-be-released Amy, it is now the turn of Srinivas.The maverick musician- turned -director has named it Badmaash. Don't be baffled by the title, as supposed cuss words have their currency too. Remember Kaminey which turned out be a cool title?
We do not as yet know whether Badmaash is going to be different as Vandemataram's music. But it will have two debut antes as the hero and heroine. Naga Siddharth and Ekta are the newbies who will be seen with a host of veterans like Chandramohan and Suman. Dharmavarapu Subramaniam, Babu Mohan, Venu Madhav and M.S.Narayana are the comedians.G. Nagaih is producing the film under the banner G.P.Siddharth Film Academy. Dialogues are by Veligonda Srinivas.
The music director did not meet up with as much success as he deserves. This was his personal opinion as well as of many film pundits and industry wallahs. Let's hope he will strike gold as director.

Nagarjuna's film to clash with his son's? - JustTollywood.com News

Nagarjuna's untitled film and Nag Chaitanya's second film will be clashing come Sankranthi. If the films release during the dates being considered by the producers of these films, the clash is going to happen for sure. Sankranthi being an auspicious season, and commercially more viable, Kamakshi Kala Movies and Krishna Productions are considering to release it then.
However, least is known about any finalisation of the dates. If the father's film was earlier salted for a release much before Christnas, it unduly got delayed for some unknown reasons. The next best time being the Sankranthi season, Siva Prasad Reddy is thinking of releasing it then. However, Manjula (Krishna's daughter) is considering the same dates for her Gautham Menon directorial.
The unwitting clash of father's and son's films is curious. Would the senior Akkineni want to clash with the fledgling actor? Would Chaitanya find it cool to compete with his father at the Box Office. Die-hard Akkineni fans will have a tough time to launch two films in the theatres in a grand fashion.
Understandably, the two films belong to different genres. There were instances in the past when two or more good films were universally lapped up even though they released around the same time. For the father-son duo, thus, there is no reason to keep their fingers crossed. However, we guess father will be too happy to score a big hit, but still be behind Chaitanya's in terms of BO records!

Ringa Ringa's blase words rewritten for cine audience - JustTollywood.com News

We all know that Ringa Ringa from Arya-2's album is perhaps the single famous song with highest number of blase and risque words, in recent times. The good news is that some lines have been replaced with other words, which are less vulgar and erotic than the one in the audio.
The second version can be listened in the Cinemas alone. May be because the producers found it too erotic that they have made a rewrite of at least two lines. Sensitivities of the audience have not been affected much.
There were some instances of this kind in the past too. Rumours are that there were negative feedback about the song and this was the reason why they thought of changing the explicitly vulgar lines.

Dil Raju to produce Prabhas's next - JustTollywood.com News

Dil Raju and Prabhas have a thing in common. Their previous films were flops. If Dil Raju's Josh with Naga Chaitanya was declared a flop in non-A centers, Prabhas' Ek Niranjan's fate is too well known. The producer and the actor are teaming up for a film. And, it will be directed Dasarath who had a flop career as director in Sambaram, Sri and Swagatham many years ago too. So this one may not be a crazy combination, but it might turn out to be the biggest advantage for them, as expectations on them will be low.
Film industry sources say that two girls named Tapsi and Sarah Jain are debuting with this movie in which Prabhas will be shown in a never-seen-before characterization. Details about the film are still under wraps and an official announcement is expected only after some days.However, gossip mills hush hush that the film to be made under SriVenkateswara Creations will be released in the summer of 2010. Naturally, Dil Raju, Prabhas Raju and Dasarath will want to bounce back in a big way with this film.
Only a few months back Dil Raju said in a TV interview that Dasarath has immense talent in him and it is still a wonder that he hasn't met up with much success. He clued in the interview that Prabhas will most probably act in the story. Well, we all know the wonderful judgment capabilities of this producer, who in the past turned hits after hits, only to be trumped for now by Josh.

Jagapathi to do 'Gayam-2' - JustTollywood.com News

We knew that the currency of sequels is great these days. But, when a serious, true sequel is being made, we have to sit and take notice. 'Gayam' was a film that was a massive hit and established Jagapathi Babu almost 15 years ago in a big way (though the film itself was not as big a hit as Kshana Kshanam or Shiva). In the year 2010, the same Durga who intimidated us on the screen in that Ram Gopal Varma's edge-of-the-seat film on gang wars and brutal killings, is coming back.
The film will be directed by Praveen Sri, a disciple of RGV. In the film, Jagapathi will be named Durga again and it will essentially be a chronicle of how Durga lives 15 years since. Jagapathi acted wtih Revathi and Urmila Matondkar in the original. The star cast of the second part is not yet decided.
What could be reason for making a true sequel to Gayam? Mr. Babu's 'Siddham' with JD Chakravarthy this year has certainly proved that the 40 plus actor is still in full form when it comes to acting in serious and powerful characters. Did 'Siddham' prod the debutante to work on a story that is primarily an extension of Gayam?
It will be a unique kind of sequel because in the past no other film has seen a sequel made after 15 years. One wishes Praveen and Jagapathi all the best!

Why Allu Arjun's dance is incredible..... - JustTollywood.com News

With his tantalizing dance moves in films like 'Arya', 'Bunny', 'Happy' and 'Parugu', young star Allu Arjun earned the fame that he was one of the best dancers in Telugu cinema. In his latest film Arya2, Arjun has performed near-impossible dancing. Yes, some of them you can't believe with your eyes. We call for suspension of disbelief.
In songs like Guppedantha gunde premaki and at the beginning of the song Ringa ringa, his dance is simply amazing. You will say the 'ekalavya shishya' of Michael Jackon, to whom he has dedicated the movie, is, by any standard, one of the most amazing dancers in South India.
Arjun recently confessed that he learnt dance mostly by himself, by hanging to the wall of his practice room, the photos of his three biggest idols - Chiranjeevi, Michael Jackson and Prabhu Deva. After watching Arya2, you will say that Prabhu Deva and Chiranjeevi will openly speak big of him.In fact, one of the biggest high points of Arya2 is his dance.

Whatever it marks her entry into Malayalam and she must be upbeat about it.We hope it will not end up being a film for the 'festival circuit' and holds some commercial value too.

On the occasion of the film's completion of the Censor procedures, Arjun stated that the film is an all-out Sukumar film. Director Sukumar earlier directed him for Arya. Folks be informed that Arya2 is no sequel of Arya. The characters' names are retained along with their traits and peculiarities.

'Shankarabaranam' screened at IFFI - JustTollywood.com News

K. Vishwanath's cream of the crop Shankarabaranam was screened at the 40th International Film Festival of India being held in Goa, amid much applause from the audience, which included well-versed film critics, filmmakers and a host of intellectuals from a cross-section of the society.
The Telugu film Shankarabharanam (meaning Shankara's adornment) was released in the year 1979. A true musical that celebrated the great Indian classical music, it was a trend setter in every sense of the term. It did not get distributors in the beginning, but went on to create records of sorts in its box office collections on mere mouth publicity.
It is a great honour that the organisers at IFFI decided to screen Shankarabharanam that is a fine example of impeccable film making. It marked the entry of J V Somayajulu (in the role of a music maestro), who went on to become a busy artiste for more than a decade. It also starred Chandra Mohan and Manju in key roles.

Will Meera Chopra finally strike gold? - JustTollywood.com News

For actress Meera Chopra, debuting in Telugu in a Pawan Kalyan film was no ordinary thing. Though she was a name to reckon with in Kollywood with S J Surya's Anbe Aruyire and some other films in her kitty, she could never make a mark in Tollywood.
The reason being her first film Bangaram and her second film Vaana under MS Raju's production did not do too well at the box office. Meera Chopra bagged a film opposite Nitin some years back and it was titled Satyam Shivam Sundaram. Unfortunately for her, it did not take off speedily but finally it seems to be seeing the light of the day.Rechristened as Maaro, the film is releasing soon.

Posani as software engineer in 'Gentleman' - JustTollywood.com News

Politico-actor-director-writer Posani Krishnamurali's endeavors are eerie, if not outright, ludicrous. A few months back, he released Mental Krishna and claimed to release Gali Seenu in succession. If he called Mental Krishna a film that was coming with a message, and worse, that it was a film the women would enjoy watching (!!!), he is repeating the same claim for his forthcoming film Gentleman.
We cannot comment on the film until we actually watch it; so we can hope to see something sensible in this film. And yes, Posani explores the husband-wife relationship in the film. Interesting twist: he plays a software engineer. At this age? He must be a project leader. But, do not be surprised even if he is seen as a fresher! None can predict what Posani is upto, nowadays.
The director is saying that his new film tells us that for a woman, her behavior and traits are the hallmarks of her chastity. "The film has all the ingredients that women audience can appreciate," Krishnamurali said. The film has Aarthi Agarwal playing his wife. Jitin, Nagababu, Kota Sreenivasarao are playing other characters.
