Tollywood-wallah's have been greatly devastated by the plight of the poor villagers and farmers in flood-affected districts of Kurnool, Krishna and Mahaboobnagar.First, it was individual contributions from stars like Jr. NTR, Charan, and now then came the decision of Movie Artists' Association to hold a Star night(November 7th) in the city for raising huge funds.
Now, Allu Aravind of Geetha Arts has declared that the collections of his magnum opus Magadheera on this Sunday (October 25), will be proceeded towards helping the flood-affected.Now who can't call this a kind gesture.

A dream that has remained unfulfilled for Rahman - JustTollywood.com News



AR. Rahman has accomplished a lot as a musician in his 17-year career thus far but he has one dream unfulfilled. “I am a great fan of ace director K. Viswanath and wanted to work with him. Since he has stopped making films, my dream could not materialise, Rahman said when asked about his unfulfilled dream. Rahman was in Hyderabad on October 12 to attend a function and also announce his live concert slated for October 24 at the GMR Arena. Viswanath is known for making classics like Sankarabharanam, Sagar Sangamam, Swatimutyam (Easwar in Hindi) and Swarnakamalam that glorified Indian art forms and traditions.Sankarabharanam, the story of a classical musician, won many national awards for the music score composed by the legendary K. V. Mahadevan.
Rahman wanted to compose music on the lines of Sankarabharanam and wanted Viswanath to make yet another film on Indian classical music. Viswanath, however, turned down the proposal saying there were no takers for his kind of films anymore. “That was eight years ago and the project never materialised. Since, then I have moved to other things” Rahman told reporters.
Would he still like to do a classical music score? “Hopefully so”, Rahman replied. Being a composer, singer and performer, which role was he comfortable in, Rahman was asked. “It’s the uncomfortableness in you that helps do things better. The more discomforted you are, the more you push yourself,” he replied.
The Oscar-winner has just completed music production for a romantic comedy Couples Retreat in Hollywood. He is working on Vinnaithandi Varuvaya in Tamil and Puli and another untitled film (starring Naga Chaitanya) in Telugu.
