Ram says 'Happy to be alive' - JustTollywood.com News

Actor Ram seriously feels that he is alive. Yes, it is because he had bad luck while shooting for his forthcoming film Rama Rama Krishna Krishna in Mumbai. Know what? He was suspected as a terrorist by the Mumbai police, the city still haunted by the ghastly 26/11 attacks last year.The chap was shooting for a chasing sequence along and was driving a black SUV. The SUV appeared to have got too many holes on it and it was being chased by six other black SUVs.
This made the Mumbai police to suspect that terrorists were on the run there. They immediately rounded the SUV in which the actor was sitting and pointed a gun at him.Probably because he was unarmed, the police did not shoot at him. Other policemen came to Ram's rescue clearing the guards' confusion. Writing how much petrified he was after the incident, Ram wrote in his blog that he was happy to be alive!

Vedam,Om Shanthi, Akasha Ramanna: What's the relation? - JustTollywood.com News

It is not uncommon to see uncanny similarities between the story lines of some films. Different reasons are accorded for the phenomenon. Sometimes, it is also true that creative people think alike and their minds might have received similar thought waves around the same time.
Three films, namely, Vedam, Om Shanthi and Akasha Ramanna, are believed to be coming up with plotlines or themes that have subtle similarity. If Krish's Vedam, starring Allu Arjun, Manchu Manoj, Manoj Bajpai and Anushka is also about various lives and stories that consummate in an interesting ending, Prakash's Om Shanthi is also about five narratives of individual lives which will, probably, find one climax (the makers are presenting it as one truth).
Akasa Ramanna is also about five lives and their stories. If it stars Allari Naresh, Sivaji and Rajiv Kanakala as male leads, Mira Jasmine and Gauri Pandit are the female leads. The film is said to be a love story and the unkown Akasa Ramanna is likely to hold the key.
One thing is for sure about these films: they are narrative-based and character-oriented, and have several stories reaching one intriguing denouement.

Produced by M.Saravanan, M.S.Guhan, Aruna Guhan and Aparna Guhan, the film marks the debut of Daggubati Rana.A socio-political drama, the film has reportedly been made at a whopping cost. The reason being that a make-believe Assembly set was erected to shoot some crucial scenes in the movie.
Though the director and the producers tried their best to secure special permission to shoot some portions of the film in the premises of the State Assembly in Hyderabad, their efforts failed. Uncompromising as ever, the makers erected one and shot the the scenes in the set.If the grapevine is to be believed, the film could have cost anywhere around Rs. 15 cr.
