Gifts For Mohan Babu, Rajamouli and NTR

Rajamouli said that the film 'Yamadonga' gave three gifts for three people worked for it.

He said, "Mohan Babu garu has been the great comedian, villain and hero. He felt very happy playing Yama and also the audiences have got the chance to see him in that role. That's a gift for Mohan Babu garu and he himself claimed that. Then Tarak (NTR) reduced a lot for the film and he said that the film turned out to be a gift for him that way. And coming to me, the film is a gift because it boosted the confidence in me that I can make a mass appealing mythological movie".

Rajamouli also said that he is going to make a film with mythological story line and not yet decided what to make.

Reel Talk: Shriya's Up In TN and down in AP

Shriya's career in Tamil is on the top but in Telugu that's not so impressive. She stopped at the point of item songs in Telugu.

It is also said that Shriya is demanding very big remuneration followed by her selection in Kandasamy (Mallanna in Telugu). Shankar wanted to re-shoot a few scenes for Hindi version of Shivaji. Although Rajni Kanth is fairly available, the dates of Shriya are not available. Actor Simbu is also planning to groove her as heroine in his film. Her remuneration is now Rs 75 lakh in Tamil. But still Shriya is not signing on new projects for the fear of dates' problems.

It is declared that Shriya is now giving tough fight for Trisha in Tamilnadu.

Reel Buzz: Ilayaraja Is Giving Worst Music!

Ilayaraja has been the Tansen of Tollywood for many decades. His music brought big revolution in the industry. But what happened now for him?

Except the tunes given for 'Anumanaspadam', his mark has completely lost everywhere. He gave tunes for a small film 'Sunny'. The promos are hitting the small screen promoting it showing the title 'MUSIC BY MAESTRO ILAYARAJA' in big bold letters. But the tunes are too horrible to listen. Were they really tuned by Ilayaraja? That doubt comes for everyone.

Similarly Ilayaraja has given tunes for a film called 'Shambhu' a few years back in which Aryan Rajesh was the hero. Even that was turned down miserably and the audio proved to be a big flop.

Why Ilayaraja is showing these ups and downs? Is that due to lacking creativity!

Allu Arjun Boasts His Loyalty To Ram Charan

Downing the curtains for the assumptions that a competition rift has started between Ram Charan and Allu Arjun, the latter came out with his statements freshly in an interview.

He said, "Vaadu (Ram Charan) chaala intelligent. He (Ram Charan) has great grasping that a dancing step that we learned after practicing for 15 days was done by him in two days. Then I understood the power of genes and blood".

Saying about Ram Charan's relation with him, "My father has been loyal to Chiranjeevi garu. But I will prove that I'm more loyal to Ram Charan. I'm here like this only because of Chiranjeevi garu. Without him I'm no where. Till now I have only one Chiranjeevi garu. But now I have two Chiranjeevis".

He also added saying, "I'm not surprised looking at Ram Charan's dance and fights. I know he will do that way. I also don't say thanks to fans sitting in the status of Chiranjeevi's family member. I'm also a fan here".

That's how Arjun came out with his feelings.

Chiranjeevi gives breather for Cong, TD

The "October 2 deadline" has passed and there's no news of film actor Chiranjeevi announcing a new political party in the near future. Though this is not something good news for lakhs of his followers and those belonging to his social group, the ruling Congress and the main Opposition Telugu Desam are a happy lot. The TRS too has taken a breather. But the baron of a media group, who has been thinking of a third alternative force in the State with the film actor in the lead, is also said to be unhappy over the "continued prolonged" delay by Chiranjeevi in announcing his own political party.

According to sources, the film actor is right now not keen on forming a new political party. He wants to study the political situation and then come out with his future plans. Moreover Chiranjeevi has still much of his film career left and if he jumps into politics, he has to leave the film industry once and for all. The film actor is weighing all the pros and cons before coming to a conclusion.

The Congress and the TD are happy over the delay. A delay of a few more months means that there will be no Chiranjeevi political party for the next Assembly polls. With hardly 18 months left for the next polls, the film actor has to announce the party now or wait for yet another poll due for 2014. But it will be too late. The new political party has to settle down and it needs at least one year. It took nine years for NTR to drive his nascent Telugu Desam to victory in 1982-83. If Chiranjeevi does not come out with the announcement before February 2008, it means that there will be a direct fight between the Congress and the Telugu Desam in May 2009 polls.
