'Kalavar King' almost complete - JustTollywood.com News



It is known that Nikhil and Swetha Basu's film Kalavar King is releasing in the month of December. In the film, two relatively younger stars are trying to make a comeback after giving a flop each, individually.Swetha Babu's recent film Ride disappeared without making a mark, while Nikhil's first film Happy Days is the only one that the audience remembers (though his Yuvatha was commercially a success too). The film is produced by Chandrasekhara Rao and Dammulapati Srinivasa Rao, who feel that, "Kalavar King is the apt title going by the hero's characterisation."
Nikhil is playing a naughty role and comedians like Ali, Venumadhav, Dharmavarapu, Raghubabu will be seen. Kashi Vishwanath, seen playing father's role in some films is also playing a character in the film.The film will be entertaining and fun-filled. Directed by L Suresh, it has Bala Murugan wielding the camera, with Ajay doing an important role. Ali and Venu Madhav will be part of a riveting comedy track.Music is by Ani.

Vandemataram Srinivas "Badmaash" announced - JustTollywood.com News



Srinivas is a talented music director whose music has its mark and carved niche for itself. The musician is now branching out himself to the department of direction. After R P Patnaik turned one with his 'Andamaina Manasulo' and yet-to-be-released Amy, it is now the turn of Srinivas.The maverick musician- turned -director has named it Badmaash. Don't be baffled by the title, as supposed cuss words have their currency too. Remember Kaminey which turned out be a cool title?
We do not as yet know whether Badmaash is going to be different as Vandemataram's music. But it will have two debut antes as the hero and heroine. Naga Siddharth and Ekta are the newbies who will be seen with a host of veterans like Chandramohan and Suman. Dharmavarapu Subramaniam, Babu Mohan, Venu Madhav and M.S.Narayana are the comedians.G. Nagaih is producing the film under the banner G.P.Siddharth Film Academy. Dialogues are by Veligonda Srinivas.
The music director did not meet up with as much success as he deserves. This was his personal opinion as well as of many film pundits and industry wallahs. Let's hope he will strike gold as director.

Nagarjuna's film to clash with his son's? - JustTollywood.com News



Nagarjuna's untitled film and Nag Chaitanya's second film will be clashing come Sankranthi. If the films release during the dates being considered by the producers of these films, the clash is going to happen for sure. Sankranthi being an auspicious season, and commercially more viable, Kamakshi Kala Movies and Krishna Productions are considering to release it then.
However, least is known about any finalisation of the dates. If the father's film was earlier salted for a release much before Christnas, it unduly got delayed for some unknown reasons. The next best time being the Sankranthi season, Siva Prasad Reddy is thinking of releasing it then. However, Manjula (Krishna's daughter) is considering the same dates for her Gautham Menon directorial.
The unwitting clash of father's and son's films is curious. Would the senior Akkineni want to clash with the fledgling actor? Would Chaitanya find it cool to compete with his father at the Box Office. Die-hard Akkineni fans will have a tough time to launch two films in the theatres in a grand fashion.
Understandably, the two films belong to different genres. There were instances in the past when two or more good films were universally lapped up even though they released around the same time. For the father-son duo, thus, there is no reason to keep their fingers crossed. However, we guess father will be too happy to score a big hit, but still be behind Chaitanya's in terms of BO records!

Ringa Ringa's blase words rewritten for cine audience - JustTollywood.com News



We all know that Ringa Ringa from Arya-2's album is perhaps the single famous song with highest number of blase and risque words, in recent times. The good news is that some lines have been replaced with other words, which are less vulgar and erotic than the one in the audio.
The second version can be listened in the Cinemas alone. May be because the producers found it too erotic that they have made a rewrite of at least two lines. Sensitivities of the audience have not been affected much.
There were some instances of this kind in the past too. Rumours are that there were negative feedback about the song and this was the reason why they thought of changing the explicitly vulgar lines.

Dil Raju to produce Prabhas's next - JustTollywood.com News



Dil Raju
and Prabhas have a thing in common. Their previous films were flops. If Dil Raju's Josh with Naga Chaitanya was declared a flop in non-A centers, Prabhas' Ek Niranjan's fate is too well known. The producer and the actor are teaming up for a film. And, it will be directed Dasarath who had a flop career as director in Sambaram, Sri and Swagatham many years ago too. So this one may not be a crazy combination, but it might turn out to be the biggest advantage for them, as expectations on them will be low.
Film industry sources say that two girls named Tapsi and Sarah Jain are debuting with this movie in which Prabhas will be shown in a never-seen-before characterization. Details about the film are still under wraps and an official announcement is expected only after some days.However, gossip mills hush hush that the film to be made under SriVenkateswara Creations will be released in the summer of 2010. Naturally, Dil Raju, Prabhas Raju and Dasarath will want to bounce back in a big way with this film.
Only a few months back Dil Raju said in a TV interview that Dasarath has immense talent in him and it is still a wonder that he hasn't met up with much success. He clued in the interview that Prabhas will most probably act in the story. Well, we all know the wonderful judgment capabilities of this producer, who in the past turned hits after hits, only to be trumped for now by Josh.

Jagapathi to do 'Gayam-2' - JustTollywood.com News



We knew that the currency of sequels is great these days. But, when a serious, true sequel is being made, we have to sit and take notice. 'Gayam' was a film that was a massive hit and established Jagapathi Babu almost 15 years ago in a big way (though the film itself was not as big a hit as Kshana Kshanam or Shiva). In the year 2010, the same Durga who intimidated us on the screen in that Ram Gopal Varma's edge-of-the-seat film on gang wars and brutal killings, is coming back.
The film will be directed by Praveen Sri, a disciple of RGV. In the film, Jagapathi will be named Durga again and it will essentially be a chronicle of how Durga lives 15 years since. Jagapathi acted wtih Revathi and Urmila Matondkar in the original. The star cast of the second part is not yet decided.
What could be reason for making a true sequel to Gayam? Mr. Babu's 'Siddham' with JD Chakravarthy this year has certainly proved that the 40 plus actor is still in full form when it comes to acting in serious and powerful characters. Did 'Siddham' prod the debutante to work on a story that is primarily an extension of Gayam?
It will be a unique kind of sequel because in the past no other film has seen a sequel made after 15 years. One wishes Praveen and Jagapathi all the best!
