After NTR,it is Mohan Babu: Raghavendra Rao - JustTollywood.com News

Mohan Babu may not be a legend like the great NTR, but K Raghavendra Rao feels that he is comparable to the greatest Telugu cinema icon of all times in at least one aspect. It is Babu's skill at delivering dialogues.Announcing the launch of Ravana, which has now come to be known as the biggest ever multi-starrer film coming from the brains from the South, the star director praised the dexterity of Mohan Babu. "Mohan Babu can deliver dialogues like NTR. Ravana will match the standards of all the good films that have come in our combination."

The prestigious film will go to the floors in 2012. KRR, who has so far only made films on celebrated devotees and saints (Annamayya, Sri Ramadasu, Manjunatha, Pandurangadu), is making a film on a character with negative shades, Ravana of Lanka, for the first time. Ravana's characterization will be the soul of the film. He will be presented as an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva and as well-versed pandit of the Vedas. In a sense, Ravana marks the first ever grand film in the recent annals of Tollywood - a film that matches the grandeur of a Robot.

Will Veeru Potla deliver Pawan? - JustTollywood.com News

Pawan Kalyan's long search for a success at doing a raw role may well be realized with the film he will do with Veeru Potal from January 2012. Ever since Khushi made him a non-pareil class entertainer, Power Star, as he had come to be known a year before the release of that film, desperately tried to strike a chord with the masses, to become someone like his Megastar brother. However, the numero uno status in the hearts of the mass audience has always been elusive.Johnny, Bangaram, Annavaram and Puli failed him consistently and miserably. The roles in Balu and Jalsa neither helped him win the hearts of the urban cine-goer nor impress the rural base.

The actor spotted the right redeemer in Dabangg and it seemed he is on the right path. It would seem that Pawan is not content with Gabbar Singh. Which explains why he has decided to team up with Veeru Potla of Bindaas and Ragada. Not prizes for guessing that it will be a freewheeling, fleshed out and raw character that he will be doing here. Will Pawan be salvaged by the directorial prowess of Potla?.Come 2012, Gabbar Singh and the film with Veeru will be a litmus test for the crazy star.

Is Brahmi the star of Money, Money & More Money? - JustTollywood.com News

If the words of JD Chakravarthy are to be taken on their face value, it can be safely said that Brahmanandam is the soul of Money Money More Money. The director says that the star comedian has performed so extraordinarily that he could not say 'cut' during the shoot even after the completion of the scene.Speaking in a light veined manner, JD said that he suffered a loss in terms of film negatives going to the dustbin because of Brahmanandam's irresistible acting prowess. The film, which will see its theatrical release on Friday, starts from the point where Money Money had ended.Amidst good expectations, the curiously-titled film will have a raft of character artistes, including Brahmaji, Rajeev Kanakala, Subburaju, Chalapathi Rao and Venu Madhav in different roles.However, it is Brahmi who the audiences are looking to watch out for.

Choosing heroines: Rajamouli's style - JustTollywood.com News

Putting an end to the rumours doing the rounds that Kajal Agarwal is going to be the female lead in one of Rajamouli's forthcoming films with Prabhas as the hero, the director has issued a statement saying that she is not a part of the film. The name of the heroine had been floated by the media for long and it seems Rajamouli deemed it fit to put the record straight. However, he did not divulge information about who the heroine is going to be after letting the world know that it is not Kajal.

Kajal has not only been seen in two of Prabhas' films in the past (Darling and Mr. Perfect), but also she is one of the most happening actresses in the industry now. 'So what?', you might ask. If one carefully observes Rajamouli's choice of heroines from the beginning, one can see a clear pattern. The director has never roped in a star heroine, but rather always chose a less-happening one.Barring Bhumika Chawla (Simhadri) who had already been a star heroine after Khushi, he has never ever worked with a star heroine. It is not surprising that he is not after Kajal Agarwal this time around. Unlike at the time of Magadheera, Kajal is very popular now.So, who is going to be Rajamouli's choice this time around? Keep guessing.

Chiru, Rajini support India's 'mega superstar' - JustTollywood.com News

What have Chiranjeevi and Rajinikanth in common these days? Their sympathy for the cause of anti-corruption. They both have voiced their support for Anna Hazare, the 'mega superstar' of the moment, and his movement against corruption in a span of three days. Megastar Chiraneevi, despite being a politician of the ruling party, had issued a statement in support of Anna and his satyagraha. Three days later, Superstar Rajinikanth, ever ready to throw his weight behind any issue of patriotic character, categorically declared that a crusader like Hazare should be supported by one and all.

True to his style, he invoked the spiritual culture of India, describing the land as a 'karma bhoomi', while hailing the "bloodless revolution" of Anna. Be it at the time of Kargil War or other occasions of national significance, Rajini has never shied away from stating his position clearly and openly. On the other hand, Chiru has become vocal on issues of socio-political nature only after he became a politician. When he was still a full-time actor, he used to be diplomatic in taking stands and often parried questions of political nature put by the scribes desperately trying to squeeze those salable bytes from the no-nonsense actor. His Tamil counterpart, however, has always gone to the extent of openly endorsing some political outfit or the other at the time of elections.

15 - month gap could have been suicidal, says Ram - JustTollywood.com News

After Rama Rama Krishna Krishna, Ram seemed to take a sabbatical for 15 months. He was in search for good scripts. And, one did come his way. It was narrated by Santosh Srinivas, a wannabe director, and he soon gave the nod. Rest is history. Today, in retrospect, Ram is happy that he did Kandireega and even states with a sense of narcissism that his prediction that his film was going to be a commercial success across the state has come true. The actor says that for an actor like him, taking a long gap (after RRKK) could have been suicidal but Kandireega's success has almost, if any, meant to him that the wait was worth it. Currently basking in the glory of the latest success, Ram is on a loud nine.
