Sivaji's three avatars in Gurudu - JustTollywood.com News

This is something Sivaji has never tried in his career before. He is donning three caps in his next film Gurudu. While he plays a cop for some part, he will be seen as a software engineer for a bit too. And what is the third role? It is a suspense for now. The director Kiran refuses to reveal what the third role is. The film makers say that Shivaji will be seen in a distinct role in the third avatar. He has never done a film like this, they say. Gurudu tracks the story of the hero and the villain, who try to outmanoeuvre each other every time.

However, as things would have it, the hero is always one step ahead in the scheme of things. Music by 'Mantra' Anand will be released in the first week of October. Shivaji badly needs a hit as a solo hero at this juncture. Will Gurudu bail him out?

Actress Nithya Menon who was banned by KFPA said that the ban on her is unfair and she is innocent. It is known that the producers have banned the actress for showing disrespect towards the top producers of Malayalam film industry by refusing to meet them for discussing on a film.

Speaking on this issue, Nithya Menon informed she was busy on the day with the shooting of her forthcoming film. Since the director has given her a small break she was having her lunch during the time senior producer has approached her and so the actress has asked her manager to look into it. “The producers have arrived on location to discuss on the project without early intimation. If they had informed me before I would have spared some time for them. How can I allocate the time on the shooting sets of other unit,” says the actress.

Oosaravelli to release on a grand scale - JustTollywood.com News

NTR's fans are in for a big bonanza. It is because, it is going to be their favourite actor all the way. The producer of Oosaravelli, much to their delight, is planning to install over 200 cut-outs across the State in the run up to the release of the movie.BVSN Prasad, who has made the NTR-starrer on a huge budget, wants to splash the domineering persona of the Young Tiger by installing his cut-outs at theaters and important centers in cities and towns.

This is a first-of-its-kind move by a producer. We have heard of fans going out of their way to honour their demi-God film stars with gigantic cut-outs, even if it meant having to pay through their nose. However, it is not usual to see a producer doing it himself. Going by the past trends in respect of such publicity moves, our hunch is that it is definitely going to become a trend in the industry. It is because Kodali Nani spent nearly half a crore on the audio release ceremony of Samba. Soon, the trend caught the industry like cold.

Postpone, thy name is Pawan Kalyan - JustTollywood.com News

What is a Pawan Kalyan movie if it doesn't see postponement of everything? We learn that the film's trailer is not going to be released for Dussehra. So, what should we wait for? Don't get used-up. You should wait for its title. Hey, let you be also informed that the audio release date is not November 2 as it was told. The 13th of that month is the new date. Unlike ever-changing titles, this is just the second date. (Pray, you countless fans of Power Star, that the date is final).

Speaking matter-of-factly, it must be said that the only time the movie has been written about is when new titles were discussed. Even die-hard fans of Pawan sir do not remember what its first title was. If our memory is serving us right, it was Dark. Nah, wait, it was Shadow. Well, it did not help SJ Surya or anyone when the title of Pawan's previous film was constant for the two years it was endlessly in the making. With only change (of titles and dates) constant about his current film, the film may be titled 'Change.' Any takers?

(Meanwhile, backroom dealings are said to be on for finalizing the selling of Dookudu's remake rights).

An all-out comedy flick, Dhee was a runaway hit in Telugu when it was released in 2007. In a sense, it was a trendsetter, because many scripts drew inspiration from the film. It became the norm to see the heroes making fools of the villains. Interspersed with sentiment, the harmless lies enacted by the hero for winning his love became a genre with a potential to generate moolah.If Sanjay Dutt's Dhee turns out to be a revelation, then one can be sure that we will see more and more films like Bindaas and Kandireega in Hindi.

Going by the standards, even after a monster hit like Magadheera which raked in Rs. 23 cr. in the first week of its run, Dookudu is making a history. Touted to become the biggest hit in the history of Telugu cinema, the action-comedy was released worldwide on Sept. 23. In area after area - Andhra, Ceded, Nizam and even the market in other States - the film is creating records of sorts. (Breaking records would be a misnomer, the superstar's fans might tell you).

What about the Overseas share? It is the highest, again. The film has amassed an unprecedented one million dollars in on Sept. 23 and 24. The film's first week share is expected to surpass that of Magadheera. Dookudu is helped by the holiday season. It is Mahesh's terrific performance, the presence of ace comedians like Brahmanandam, well-picturized songs and slick action that everyone is talking about.

Natti Kumar complains about black ticketing - JustTollywood.com News

Raising his voice against the rampant black ticketing at theatres screening super hits and films starring big heroes, Natti Kumar, Chairman of the Producer's Sector, fulminated against the trend and said that it should be curbed immediately. He felt that black ticketing, which is going unchecked, is draining the pockets of ordinary film goers. While it loots the hard earned money of film patrons, black ticketing profiteers the exhibitors and producers. Natti was angry that the moolah made through such means go into the pockets of these parties as unaccounted money.

It was clear that he invited the press for a briefing at the Press Club to vent his ire at the alleged black ticketing prevalent at theatres screening Dookudu. He felt that if tickets are sold at rates higher than those fixed by the government, the audience will be (discouraged to watch the movies in theatres and) encouraged to go for the option of pirated CDs. May Natti's well meaning outbursts not go unheeded.
