Udaya Bhanu Seduced Showing Her Sexy Oomph
Udaya Bhanu is worth enough to do item songs as frequently as possible. She has the necessary oomph factor and lecherous looks to be in tune with item songs, say the people those watched the film 'Apadamokkulavadu'. She danced for the song 'Tiduthondayya Naa Vayasu Thidothondayya' wearing sexiest saris and that turned a treat for mass audiences. We have to see if the producers and directors consider Udaya Bhanu for item songs from no onwards. She is no way less to routine item dancers and is a very notable face. Above all she is a native Telugu lady who needs push from Tollywood directors.
Let us see if she bags something more down the line.
Unmarried Girls Show Lust For Married Men
"Unmarried young girls show their lust for married men. Married men look hot for them. Hence they go close to married men very fast". Indeed, we are not saying this. This is the saying of Bollywood actress Amritha Rao who acted with Mahesh Babu in 'Athidhi'.
Actress Amritha Rao seems to be traditional in approach but 'hot and trendy' in outlook and observation. She confirms many things with lot of authenticity. She puts no filter and says her opinions by generalizing.
She also said, "Every girl wishes to end her dating episode with kiss. But men tend to go 'beyond' that. It depends on the girl and also the 'situation' to take decision. It is in fact difficult to end the dating episode with kiss many times".
Is that not a bold talk!!
And saying about herself she says, "If I get attracted to any married man I would certainly control my senses. Who knows? Any other girl may eye on my husband in future. I cannot just imagine that. And another thing to share-I don't know why I tend for old men!"
That's a new angle in Amritha.
Finally she says, "I don't have any boy friend till now. It's really surprising even for me why I didn't have any BF so far. Many girls are finding 'hot' boy friends when they enter 9 th and 10th standards. But I don't know why I don't have one".
Should we believe this? It's at your discretion.
Ravi Babu: 'I Don't Believe In Nativity'
Ravi Babu is on cloud-9 now. And we all know why. That is for the success of 'Anasuya'. He says that he is feeling like a student who passed out exams with distinction after struggling day and night while preparing.
When questioned about the lack of Telugu nativity in his films he clarified in a detailed manner saying, "What is nativity and where is nativity? The globalization happened long back and now entire globe is with similar features. This is the era of internets and chatting. If you think the green fields and 'parikini-oni' as the elements of nativity they are not seen now. The meaning of 'Nativity' changed a lot now".
That's the clear new wave outlook of Ravi Babu that is making him make films with his own conviction that is deep rooted.
Film Gossip: Pawan Kalyan's Verbal Argument With Ileana
The Pawan Kalyan starrer 'Jalsa' seems to be going through one bad phase or the other which is delaying its release in many ways. It is now being heard that this time the cause is the heroine of the film Ileana.
Apparently, the star is said to be not reporting for the shoots citing some reasons and it is also learnt that she is currently in Singapore which is leading to the postponement of the schedules. Pawan is said to be very upset about this and is said to have a heated verbal war with Ileana on this.
The film is now scheduled for a release on March 27th. Hence the shooting activities are going on in brisk pace.
Interview with MS Raju
MS Raju is turning into director with Vaana film which is a remake of Kannada blockbuster Mungara Male. Here are the excerpts -What is the reason for remaking Mungara Male?
I really loved it though there are a few stale scenes. We added lot of freshness and changed the screenplay to make Vaana.
Mungara Male had tragic ending?
I am not going to reveal the nature of the climax now. But I can say that the ending of the film is going to be a heart touching one.
Why is MS Raju making a remake film with new comers when he has access to all the big stars of Telugu cinema?
I follow my heart. People commented when I was making Devi film with unknown faces. They commented when I gave Varsham project to the director Sobhan who had a flop record. They commented why I was spending so much on Charminar set for Okkadu film. They commented that Siddhardh was looking like a girl in NVNV. All the projects that got criticisms during the making were hits. Likewise, I hope that this film too is being talked about. I invite criticism and take them all in my stride.
What is the reason for having Teja as director for your son's debut film? Your sensibilities are different from that of Teja?I follow my heart and my gut feelings. I don't do any calculations.
Generally director is the captain of the ship. But you had been the captain of ship for your films?
I do involve in creative aspect of my films. I will be the captain of the ship when I make films with directors like Sobhan and VN Aditya. But when I make films with Kodi, Guna Sekhar and Teja, they are going to be captains of the ship.
Why are you doing remake?
I prefer original films. But Mugara Male is so impressive that I could not resist from remaking it. If you look at Titanic of James Cameroon, he remade it too. And see the results.
What is the budget of Vaana?
I do spend as per the demand of the script. There is no big or small film in my opinion. For example, I wanted the hero introduction to be impressive. Hence we had five sets and Mumbai models for that song. I feel that we should spend money only when it is absolutely necessary. I won't create a slum colony set to make a film when it can actually done in the real slum streets. I did Charminar for Okkadu because it is necessary. I did not have a set of Warangal for Varsham because it was unnecessary.
Tell us about Suman character in this film?
It was a very brave decision to cast Suman in that character. He had never done such kinds of films before. He gave excellent performance in the last 4 reels of the film. He did god roles in Annamayya and Sriramadasu. He also matched Rajnikant with his villainy in Sivaji film. He did extraordinary work in this film.
What is the reason for casting Vinay and Meera Chopra?
The lead roles in this film are driven by characterizations. After watching the film, only characters will be remembered, but not the actors.
We heard that you considered your son Sumanth Ashwin for Vaana film?
Yes. That was true. But later I realized that the hero character should be done by a mature guy, not like a teenage boy like Sumanth Ashwin.
Your previous film Aata got many criticisms?
I feel that we can only make great films once in 3 years. Since we are producing a film every year, we can's expect all the films to be great films. We have to make some run-of-the-mill films. Aata belongs to such a category. It was not a great film, but it was a decent entertainer. It is a standard film, but not a cheap film. I am the first critic of my films. And I invite criticisms for all my films.
This Sankranthi is having four films?
Yes. I want all the films to become hits. Sankranthi season can absorb four hits.
When will your film with Teja go to floors?
Immediately after the release of Vaana film.
Rs 1.25 Cr For 'Anasuya' Satellite Rights
The satellite rights of the film 'Anasuya' were sold at Rs 1.25 Cr as per the reliable sources. And adding to that the film was sold at Rs 50 lakh for Tamil rights. The total budget incurred on the film making was Rs 1.75 Cr. That way the film cleared the investment with satellite and Tamil dubbing rights. So, whatever is being collected at theaters is the sole income of Suresh Productions. Ravi Babu made such a hit with this film and it is said that a total of Rs 8 Cr and above was already collected. So, Anasuya stands out to be real success of the season.
That's due to the variety in the film and making it in complete out-of-trend way with crime and thrilling elements.
MS Narayana and AVS Are Far Better
The people who have watched the film 'Apadamokkulavadu' are saying that Posani Krishna Murali should stop directing movies of this standard or themes.
"MS Narayana and AVS are far better than this Posani Krishna Murali in film direction. I couldn't resist watching the movie. I ran away by interval", said an audience who watched the movie 'Apadamokkulavadu' yesterday evening.
"Wouldn't he watch the film before releasing? Or wouldn't his close fiends advise him to spruce up the film well before bringing it to theaters?" questioned a viewer.
"I wonder if this film was sent to censor. The scenes like cutting down the genitals are very demeaning and horrified", said another viewer at a theater in Hyderabad.
On a whole, the film 'Apadamokkulavadu' is bagging negative talk every where. The film 'Operation Durudhana' ran well as there were no new films at that time. Now big films are coming soon. We have to see how Posani reacts to the situation and pushes his film.
Film Rumors: Prakash Raj With Other Man's Wife!
The bond between actor Prakash Raj and heroine of yesteryears' is growing stronger. Though they move very closely, their 'affair' has so far been known only to Chennai folks. Now they are making 'It' evident in Hyderabad too. When Prakash Raj had to stay back in Hyderabad for more than a week, the actress too came down to Hyderabad on the pretext of shopping. They had good time all their stay here. Her ailing husband and star director is swallowing his tears in Chennai as per the sources.
Press meet - Vaana
MS Raju’s directorial debut Vaana will be releasing on 15 January on the eve of Sankranthi. The unit arranged a press meet to share more details about the film. This meet was attended by MS Raju, Paruchuri brothers, Sekhar V Joseph and KV Krishna Reddy.Okkadu was also released on 15 January - Paruchuri Venkateswara Rao
Speaking on the occasion Paruchuri Venkateswara Rao said, “Vaana audio got amazing response from the public. This year’s Sankranthi is coming on 15th January. We also released Okkadu film on 15 January as Sankranthi fell on that date. Vaana is an extraordinary love story with a feel. We added lot of the humor to Kannada script in order to make the film more entertaining. We shot the most of the film in Shakileshpur which is 5 and half hour journey from Bangalore. That place is known for abundant rain fall. MS Raju is known as Sankranthi Raju and we hope that he will continue that legacy this year too with the stupendous hit of Vaana.”
Climax will make you cry - Paruchuri Gopala KrishnaParuchuri Gopala Krishna said, “Sirivennela penned fabulous lyrics. Kamalakar scored very good music. There are films like Gharana Mogudu and Assembly Rowdy that were remade in Telugu with lots of betterment. These films were better films than originals. Likewise, Vaana is going to be a better film than Kannada original Mungara Male. MS Raju made sure that the last 40 minutes of the film is emotionally gripping. Climax will make you cry.”
We put our lives at stake for Vaana - MS Raju
MS Raju said, “Lots of people have been asking about my directorial venture for years. During the time of Telugu cinema vajrostavalu, I made a resolution to become a director. I happened to see Mugara Male film in Kannada and immensely liked it. But Nukarapu Surya Prakasa Rao was already having the Telugu remake rights with him. When I asked him the rights, he preferred co-production. I would like to thank him for that. As a director, Vaana is not an easy film to make. We worked really hard and put our blood in Prabhas’s Varsham. We had lots of troubles while making that film. We also had problems in editing room. Vaana is more difficult than Varsham from making perspective. We put our lives at stake to make Vaana. I hope that the movie would become a success.”
I cried while editing this film - KV Krishna Reddy
Editor KV Krishna Reddy said, “I had been editing all films of MS Raju since Manasantha Nuvve. I am amazing at the footage of the film. It did not have any extra shot or wastage. Since MS Raju has tremendous grip in all aspects of filmmaking, he know how much he need to shoot. I don’t get emotional while editing films as we do it from our technical perspective. But I cried for the first time while editing this film. I am sure that this film would be loved by everybody.”
