Mr Vasthadu Naa Raju lost Rs 2 crore - JustTollywood.com News

In an industry where crores of rupees transforms into an expensive movie set, a designer costume, action sequence and elephantine star remunerations, financial betrayals have become very common. Whats ironical these days is most actors and star directors are facing troubles from their own managers.

Sources say actor Vishnu Manchu lost Rs 2 crore thanks to financial mismanagement by his childhood friend and production designer Ashok Kumar Raju. Apparently Ashok who managed the finances of Vishnu's 'Vasthadu Naa Raju' escalated bills and even took commissions from vendors enhancing the project estimation by Rs 2 crore. No sooner than Vishnu got to know of it, he fired him. Ashok now has joined producer Dil Raju's camp."I got to know of it and I was shocked. He was my childhood friend. It was tough for me to do it but had to ask him to leave" Vishnu said, not willing to divulge more on the topic.

Ditto with Puri Jagannath's manager Krishna who reportedly swindled off crores of rupees leaving the director in debts. Krishna was supposedly the right hand man of Puri and the director trusted him with crores of rupees. As Puri washed his hands off Krishna, he went and joined NTR Junior as his manager. Actor Raja Raveendra was almost like a shadow of Mass hero Raviteja. Any director who wanted to make a film with Raviteja had to go through Raja Raveendra. Last heard, he made the most of Raviteja's trust and earned a bomb. Besides, he bad mouthed Ravi leaving the actor with no option but to get rid of him. Raja Raveendra now believably handles Manchu Manoj's dates.

Apparently actor Bramhaji has replaced Raja Raveendra as Raviteja's right hand man. Ditto with several actresses who have changed their managers as they realise the financial irregularities with their accounts. Industry sources say a former manager of actress Richa Gangopadhyay ruined her career with wrong suggestions to an extent that she doesn't have a single movie in Telugu now.

"Sorry fact is that this industry is a very small world. These managers leave one star and join the other. But offlate once they are branded for financial irregularity, they are no more hired to look after budgets. They are given some other job like press releations or publicity design et al where money is not involved" said a director in Tollywood.

A couple of years back, his score for Danny Boyle’s film ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ won him the ‘Best Original Music Score’ and ‘Best Original Song’ at the Oscars, making us Indians only even more proud. But this seems to have stirred another idea for noted music composer, Ismail Darbar.He who has contributed great songs to the Bollywood film industry, while speaking to a media firm alleged that A R Rahman bought the Oscar Award by bribing the jury! He expressed that the music of ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ is not worthy of prestigious awards and there is no Oscar material about it.

He added that, other films of Rahman’s were worthy of such awards but definitely not this, and that he is sure that the award has been bought by Rahman. In response to this, ARR replied in his usual calm fashion that an Oscar cannot be bought since its 3000 people who judge it, and there’s not a way that one can even think of doing such a thing.What do you movie-buffs have to respond to Ismail Darbar’s allegation?

'Dookudu' first look - JustTollywood.com News

Dookudu Trailer

When every body wants Mahesh Babu to get out from the influence of ‘Pokiri’, he seems to have still struck deep into that mania. Post ‘Pokiri’ continuous failures should have made him learn new lessons. Unfortunately that is not the case and first teaser of ‘Dookudu’ released into the market yesterday shows the punch dialogue of Mahesh as ‘Mind Lo Fix Ayithe Blind Gaa Yelli Pothaa.’

Given the kind of attention a film from Prince usually attracts, it is time for Super Star to take enough care in living up to their expectations. ‘Dookudu’ being known as a cop story and with punches looking similar to ‘Pokiri,’ obviously Fans are coming under extra tension as why is Mahesh doing this again and again? What is that great logic that made Mahesh to fix his mind and become blind in accepting these kinds of dialogues which have lost the fad in public? Wish that ‘Dookudu’ is not the same run of mill old story lines.
