Along with acting, Jr. NTR is endowed with another merit: gift of the gab. He is a good conversationalist.
He is proved to be at his best in the company of gals. Any hero finds it difficult to manage, when he is sandwiched between two heroines – nay not in a film- but on sets. Jr.NTR strikes amazing balance when he fits into such an occasion.
He needed to interact with two heroines- Priyamani and Mamata Mohan Das- on the sets of 'Yamadonga'. He became equally intimate with two gals.
He paid similar attention to the duo. Now each gal is under the impression that she is really close to NTR. Did he inherit this ability from his father or grandfather?
Mohan Babu is known for his biting sarcasm in comments. He doesn't spare even his seniors.
He happened to meet the veteran directors Raghavendra Rao and Dasari together in one function. Director Rajamouli was found along with them.
Mohan Babu drew comparison between Rajamouli and Raghavendra Rao.
He said the two had a vice in common. 'They use and throw people'.
He didn't spare Dasari, who had been his mentor. "Dasari could ditch his loyalists for the sake of power and recognition", he said. Both the senior directors kept mum for his remarks and didn't shoot him back.
Vishnu Vardhan Manchu seems to have chosen his comfortable path now. He acted in the film 'Dhee' with subtle humor in his role. Although he played many action packed roles before, none could survive at the box office. It's only 'Dhee' that brought him fame and success. Now it is said that he is acting in the direction of P Vasu, a remake of 'Bruce Almighty', in which Nagarjuna is playing the role of 'God'.
Vishnu going to play in Vasu's direction is the one played by Jim Carrey in 'Bruce Almighty'. The character is packed with full dose comedy and we have to see how Vishnu enacts that. Talking about the trivial, it is observed that Vishnu reduced a little when he appeared for the launching of 'Think Smart Animation company'. If he continues the same reduction, we may see an active and athletic Vishnu who can better justify the role given to him.
P Vasu is famous for making the fantasy and paramedical subject oriented films success and 'Chandramukhi' is the best example. Let us hope that this Telugu version of 'Bruce Almighty' works well. There was news that the same film is being made in Hindi as well with Amitabh and Saif Ali Khan. But there is no update on that till now.
Buzz doing the rounds is that Shah Rukh Khan was very impressed with Sivaji: The Boss director Shankar after he saw the Rajnikant starrer.
And apparently Shankar has approached SRK for his next venture, supposedly, a sci-fi flick.
The same project for which he had considered Hrithik Roshan.
A source close to the director says, “Shankar wanted Hrithik but it seems that he won’t be able to do the film because he has already committed to his father Rakesh Roshan for Krrish 2. Now, Shankar has approached SRK and he has agreed.”
It is also learnt that SRK will be producing the film for Shankar with the post-production in the USA. “Since Krrish, Shah Rukh has been keen on making a sci-fi film. He agreed to do Ram Gopal Varma’s Time Machine, but Ramu shelved the project because he wanted to remake Sholay with Amitabh,” adds the source. SRK and sci-fi — now that’s some combo!
Actress Sameera Reddy is a home bird. Ask her of the one place she keeps returning to and she says, "My home!" The actress is well-travelled, and while many keep cribbing about City Mumbai - the traffic and the heat, Sammy seems to like everything about it. "I have travelled the world, but there is no city like Bombay!" she insists. Now this is aamchi Mumbaikar!
Fresh gossip says that Raja Sekhar is running behind getting the remake rights of the movie 'Kreedom'. He is known as dubbing king and almost watches every Tamil and Malayalam movie after its release or even gets the feedback of the same from his story department. He, now, feels to remake the film 'Kreedom' starred by Ajith and Trisha in Tamil.
It is already informed that many producers are vying for the remake rights of the same. At the same time, some are even trying to get the dubbing rights of the same as Trisha and Ajith have got enough reputation to hit the Telugu box office. We have to see if this film comes as dubbed version or a remake. Long back, much before the release of the film 'Kreedom', it was said that Pawan Kalyan is going to do that in Telugu. But he turned busy with Trivikram's project and the idea was dropped completely.
Sources say that it would be Raja Sekhar who may bag the rights of this film. Other sources say that Prabhas and Gopichand are also showing interest on the same. Let us wait and see who bags it at last.
'Chitram' Srinu is trying to find savior in Mega Star Chiranjeevi. He has landed in a trouble of late.
He pretended to be in love with a dancer. She became pregnant. He distanced her. She lately came to know that Srinu is not single but a married man with children and hence she lodged a complaint with the police. They registered a case and arrested him. Srinu could come out on bail.
But he wants the whole case to be closed and the dispute settled for all. When Comedian Venumadhav was involved in the dispute of similar nature, Chiranjeevi intervened and saw the case was closed.
Now 'Chitram' Srinu is restlessly trying to seek Chiranjeevi's help. Will Chiranjeevi rescue this guy?!
Gossip mongers say that Jagapathi Babu is seen with that girl very often these days? What would be the affair between the two, is the hot topic. Will that be a personal affair? Or a cool business affair?
Spies need to unleash this spicy tangle.
Allu Arjun's film with 'Bomarillu' Bhaskar is still in a fix with respect to heroine. The shooting of the film is already started a few weeks ago and the heroine is yet to be grooved in. The names of Kajal, Vedika, Priyamani and Bhavana were heard initially and now the name of Bhavana is being heard louder again. This Malayalam beauty is already acting in a film with Gopichand in the captaincy of Pokuri Babu Rao.
The role beside Allu Arjun is not that of a glamour doll just like in 'Desa Muduru'. That needs glamour with performance. At the same time, the heroine shouldn't look older and bear new look on a whole. When all these qualities are searched for, only the name of Bhavana is heard.
Apart from this, it is also stated that Allu Arjun is thinking to rope in a new heroine from Mumbai as he has been doing from the beginning of his career. But this time, the actress needs to look great and perform well at the same time.
Jiah Khan, the girl of Nishabd fame had lost the opportunity to act in the Hindi version of Pokiri. But there is a silly reason for Jiah's losing the opportunity. In one occasion Jiah Khan spoke about Katrina Kaif in insulting manner. The hero in Hindi Pokiri is Salman Khan and the director is Prabhu Deva.
So, the grapevine says that Jiah Khan was removed from the project with the word of Salman Khan and due to the same reason and Ayesha Takia is roped in.
It appears that that the career of Nishabd girl going Nishabd after the first film.
Director P Vasu is now holding an idea to launch his son Shakthi as hero both in Tamil and Telugu. He is taking the help of Rajani Kanth in launching him grandly there. Here in AP, P Vasu is taking the help of Mohan Babu in encouraging his son, as per the grapevine. Vasu is known as plain hearted and good individual in Kollywood circles. He got acquaintance with Mohan Babu and Rajani Kanth in big way.
Mohan Babu is already involved in giving professional life to his two sons. Will he bless Shakthi equally now? If gossip is to be believed P Vasu is looking at Mohan Babu for making a film with his son Shakti on Lakshmi Prasanna banner.
Apparently, a multi starrer script is planned by P Vasu with the combination of Manoj and Shakti in it. The script is now in discussion as per the sources.
Scuttlebutt says that Prakash Raj's property is worth Rs 150 Cr. He came from a struggling background, sleeping in Chennai Pangal park during his acting trials. The earnings from the four South Indian film industries have given him crores of Rupees and he made intelligent investment of the same in shares and in land. The fate turned positive for Prakash Raj and he landed in crores now. As soon as he made big crores, he started igniting the production ideas and has shown a new facet of him as producer.
The same money and properties brought arrogance in him unfortunately. Interestingly Prakash Raj admitted a few weeks ago that his huge earnings made him arrogant but now learnt how to behave and keep cool with everyone. That sounds to be a sign of repentance. But like a villain in any film, he is again showing his recalcitrance and arrogance to big producers as well in the matters of dates adjustment and coming to sets in time.
So, money makes many things. It even transforms a sincere and hard working artiste as an arrogant freak.
