Naga Chaitanya's new film titled 'Natho Raa...'? - JustTollywood.com News

The 'Josh' star, who is currently doing a film with Gautham Menon as the director, is paired opposite Tanya. The film is titled Natho Raa... . Though the film was launched even before the release of Nag's debut film Josh, the title has not been confirmed. The makers have finalized on a title and released it to the media.
The film has music by maestro AR Rahman and this will be its unique selling proposition in the initial stages. Not to sneak out a single detail about the film, the makers turn reluctant to discuss about the subject. However, it is clear that the young actor is playing a powerful role and it will see loads of action from his part. Krishnudu, the 'Villagelo Vinayakudu' actor, is playing the role of hero's friend in the movie.
If the film becomes a hit, the Raa.. trend is likely to take off again. Remember the many films named ending with Raa... some years ago?

'Kurradu' loses out for misinterpretation - JustTollywood.com News

Perhaps, Anandi Art Creations movie Kurradu is losing out to reputation because of the gross misinterpretation of its subject. Reviews have slammed that the movie is all for a bike and even the initial talk was that it looks like a rip off of the drab film Ride. Nothing could be more egregious as the film has never-seen-subject. It is the remake of Dhanush-starrer Polladhavan and has the story written by Vettrimaran.
The film, to put in a nutshell, in fact is about a middle class guy who loses his favorite bank on the day of a political murder in a locality. In the process of regaining it, he needs to put up a fight for his life and family. It is grippingly told yet the audience do not find it original.
News is that it has also shads of the 1948 Italian cult movie The Bicycle Thief, which was set in the post World War-II economy. In the Italian film, an unemployed middle-aged man who is married, has his bicycle stolen by a thief. which he seeks to get back with the help of a pawnbroker. The premise is this, but there is a world of difference between Polladhavan (and thus, Kurradu) and the Italian film. While the Indian interpretation has the hero finally emerging victorious, the Italian film is a bit tragic.

RP Patnaik's Holly venture ready for release - JustTollywood.com News

It is well-known that music director RP Patnaik's first aim was to become a director and not a musician. He almost bid goodbye to music after delivering a slew of super hit albums ranging from Chitram - The Picture, Nuvvu Nenu, Manasantha Nuvve, Jayam, Dil, Nuvvu Leka Nenu Lenu, Santosham et al. He emerged as the director with super flop Andamaina Manasulo. He failed as an actor with Sreenu Vasanthi Lakshmi.
But nothing can deter his spirit. It seems so. He went ahead with his dream Hollywood project Amy, for which he has written the script too. Moreover, he has lent the tunes for the film. Christopher Atkins, the New York-born actor of The Blue Lagoon fame, is the main lead. Jessica Digiovanni and Kurt Peterson are the other leads.An Andhra talent making a film in Hollywood will be hugely advertised by the Telugu industry, we guess.

Puri feels giving a hit is difficult - JustTollywood.com News

When ace directors, stars and producers talk, everybody listens. In an instance, producer-writer-director Puri Jagannadh has rued that of the hundreds of films made in a year, only five films are turning out to be hits (while the rest either flop or fail to recover their investment). Though Puri expressed his happiness over 'Bumper Offer', his home production, being one of them, it seemed that he was hurt by the low success rate in the industry. (His recent directorial film Ek Niranjan, which starred a mass hero like Prabhas, is said to be a flop).
It is not new to some of the industry wallahas, well-meaning and cinema-loving among them, doing their bit to promote success-consciousness among the cine folks. In fact, the number of such people has dramatically come down in the recent years, as superstars and mega-directors have increasingly become self-centered. Earlier, veterans like D Rama Naidu, Dasari, Krishna and ANR were always for more and more hits and the industry's health was looked after. In this scenario, someone like Jagannadh, who himself is an active producer and director, making a valid point is commendable.

Ram Charan's 4th film with Dharani - JustTollywood.com News

As soon as Ram Charan Tej completes shooting for his current film with Bommarillu Bhaskar, he will start canning for a new one. A film to be directed by Dharani, it will be produced by Super Good Films. If for the RB Chowdhary banner, it will definitely mark a famous comeback, for Dharani, whose last film with Pawan Kalyan, 'Bangaram' was a flop, it will help him herald in a big way in Tollywood. (just as his contemporary SJ Suryah)
The combination of Charan and Dharani is creating ripples in the industry. As the director who worked with superstars like Vijay in Tamil, Dharani is well-experienced when it comes to showing a hero in a way likeable for the masses. With Charan giving a nod to work with the Ghilli, Dhill, Kuruvi director, does that mean he is eying to win mass appreciation. May be yes.
Meanwhile, news is that the film will go on floors in the month of March next year. Probably it will take some time for the makers to come up with details of other cast and crew.

Chakri returning with 'Goli Maar' - JustTollywood.com News

Puri Jagannadh's next film with Gopichand, titled Goli Maar, will have Chakri scoring the music. The film will see Gopichand in the role of an encounter specialist and it is learnt that Puri is working for the project with a vengeance. Given that his 'Ek Niranjan' is already declared a flop by trade pundits, Puri wants to prove that he is still the same 'dashing' director as he always was.
Chakri, who delivered good hits with Puri in the past, is working with the director after 'Neninthe'. In the past, 'Itlu Sravani Subramanyam', 'Idiot', 'Amma Nanna O Tamila Ammayi' were some of the hits Chakri gave for Jagannadh's films. Though he chose to work with Mani Sharma for Pokiri, he again reverted back to the Chakri formula with 'Desamuduru' and 'Neninthe'. However for the Prabhas-starrer 'Ek Niranjan', he enlisted Mani's talent.
Whenever the duo come together, a super hit song on the chartbuster is assured. The song usually defines the film's character. Hopefully, for 'Goli Maar' too Chakri will work wonders for his friend.
