Will Chiru take a cue from Sachin?

2

In a rather surprising development, Cricket stalwart of India and member of parliament Sachin Tendulkar has donated his entire salary and the perks he received as a Rajya Sabha MP to the Prime Minister’s Relief Fund. Details as below.

Sachin Tendulkar’s 6 year term in the Rajya Saba will come to an end on April 26. He was nominated during UPA regime and e is not getting extension. So far, he has earned more than Rs 90 lakh in salary and allowances in the past six years, like any other RS MP. Rajya Sabha MP earns a salary of Rs 50,000 and Rs 90,000 as allowances per month. In addition MP gets funds in the form of MPLADS which he can use for developmental activities.

Sachin has been facing criticism for his dismal attendance in RS. People and media houses also questioned his silence in the house as he never raised any questions in the house. Probably, in the wake of all this, Sachin’s office data showing that he sanctioned 185 projects across the country with Rs 7.4 crore, out of his allocated Rs 30 crore funds. These projects are deployed towards educational and infrastructure development.

Now, some other MPs who got similar criticism are bollywood actress Rekha and Chiranjeevi. Being super rich like Sachin, probably Chiranjeevi also may take a cue from Sachin. He is a very big star and 90 lakhs, i.e. the amount RS MP gets in a 6 year term, must be very small for him as his previous film, produced by his son, collected more than 100 crores. So 90 lakhs is probably 1% of what his films are collecting. So, if he follows Sachin, probably criticism on his dismal attendance and performance may subside as it will display a good gesture and set a trend for many other rich MPs to follow. But will Chiru take that decision, is a big question.

Rangasthalam Trade – Megastar vs Mega Powerstar

Ram Charan’s latest offering Rangasthalam, which released last Friday, is unstoppable at box office. The rustic entertainer opened on a solid note with superb first day revenues in all major areas. Continuing its impressive run, the film minted strong revenues on Saturday and trade circles are expecting a big Sunday due to glowing word of mouth and positive reviews.

Going by its current trend, Rangasthalam is likely to emerge as one of the highest grossers in the history of Tollywood in its full run.

By the end of its first week, the Sukumar directional is likely to occupy the fourth place in the list of highest first week shares in Tollywood. Megastar Chiranjeevi, father of Ram Charan, holds the non-Baahubali record with the highest first week share for Khaidi No 150 which collected 76.87 Crores.

Trade experts in Telugu360 are predicting around 70 Crore share in the first week. There is a strong chance that it might give a tough competition to Megastar’s KN 150. For now, a fourth place after Baahubali 2, Baahubali 1 and Khaidi No 150 is confirmed for Rangastalam.

Big B set to shoot cameo for Sye raa

0

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan is in Hyderabad to shoot for superstar Chiranjeevi’s “Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy” magnum opus, and shared with his fans a glimpse of his look test for the biopic on the late freedom fighter Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy.

“Dear friend Chiranjeevi, that majestic superstar and icon from the world of Andhra and Telugu cinema, requests for a guest appearance in his magnum opus, on a most valiant period character that he portrays, and I agree,” Big B posted on his blog.

He shared a photograph in which he is seen sporting a heavily white bearded look.

“These are not the final, but close,” he wrote.

The 75-year-old said most people who wish for him to work in their films, attempt to put him in situations wherein he sports the look of an old man.

“Cannot really deny their choice… The days of yore are over… I mean they could never be reborn as this,” he said, posting another picture in which he can be seen standing with his hands raised to the side with a group of background dancers standing next to him.

This, he shot for only a “few hours before”.

“The transformation of the subject from the bright and excited to the sombre and grim is the greatest anathema of movie making. I do swear and promise myself that ‘never again’ shall I ever indulge in sticking wigs and hair for a film… But eventually get caught in projects that demand just that/

“So…alright for the sake of creative excellence and necessity, I submit,” added the actor, who will next be seen playing a 102-year-old man in “102 Not Out”.

Rangasthalam : Lengthy runtime, Chiranjeevi says no trimming

Ram Charan’s Rangasthalam has completed its Censor formalities and set for a grand release on March 30.

The film’s runtime is said to be around 170 Minutes which is quite lengthy in the current trend. However, when the team thought of trimming the runtime by 15-20 minutes, Chiranjeevi advised against their idea.

Sources say that Chiru watched Rangasthalam and felt that it needs such a lengthy duration to carry all the emotions perfectly. When Sukumar and team revealed that they are planning to to chop down few scenes to reduce the runtime, reluctant Chiru asked them to leave it untouched as it has shaped up quite well.

So, it is going to be a lengthy watch for audience this Friday. What remains to be seen is whether Sukumar manages to keep audience invested to his narration despite having a runtime of 170 minutes.

Rangasthalam received U/A certificate from censor board.

Chiru revealed Rangasthalam “twist” unintentionally

0

Mega star Chiranjeevi graced the Rangasthalam pre-release function. He spoke high about the movie and performance of Ram charan in the movie. But while speaking in the flow, he revealed a crucial twist in the movie, probably unintentionally.

In the trailer that was relased yesterday, village politics is showcased and Jagapathi is seen as village president. Ram charan character “Chitti Babu” and his brother role (Played by Adi pinisetty) also revealed already. However, while praising Charan’s performance, chiranjeevi told, “When Adi pinisetty character dies in climax and in the subsequent scenes, Charan’s performance is commendable”.

When Chiranjeevi revealed the twist, Sukumar and Adi seem to have got shocked. However, Chiranjeevi also realized that he has revealed part of the story but he could not do anything about that and continued his speech. Probably, Sukumar and his unit might have disappointed for revealing the twist that comes in the climax. Anyway if the emotions are captured well, knowing the twist may not do much damage to the movie but this twist shouldn’t have been revealed in the first place.

“Karthavyam” director’s link with Chiru’s Khaidi 150

0

Nayantara’s latest movie “Karthavyam” is dubbed version of Tamil movie “Aramm” directed by Gopi Nainar. This is his first film and got him critical acclaim as well as commercial success. However, people who follow Tamil movies know him much earlier than this movie. There is also a link for him with Chiru’s 150th movie.

Gopi Nainar, worked with Murugadoss as his assistant earlier. He worked for Vijay’s “Kathi” movie which was remade as Khaidi 150 in Telugu. In fact Gopi claimed, the story for Kathi was penned by him. He even filed a petition in court against Murugadoss for plagiarizing his script. In the complaint Gopi had claimed to be the former assistant of the director Murugadoss. But the Chennai City Civil Court has cleared the case in favour of AR Murugadoss that time. The court passed the final verdict that there is no such evidence found for Gopi’s claims and that made “Kathi” movie’s release smoother. Gopi was even ridiculed for claiming Murugadoss’s story.

Ridiculed a few years ago for claiming that the story of Kaththi, Gopi Nainar has come out of the shadows and focussed on his debut movie “Aramm” with Nayanthara in the lead role,and that has opened to rave reviews and good word of mouth. Aramm went on to become a blockbuster and milestone film in Nayan’s career.

As Aramm (Karthavyam) also talks about water problem in much more sensible way, people thought he might have worked for Kathi story as well as that also talks of same issue and moreover after seeing Gopi’s work many people actually believed his claim. So some scenes in Khaidi 150 might have been written by Gopi Nainar.

PS: There was one more writer – Narasimha who also claimed Kathi story and Khaidi 150 shooting was stopped to settle Narasimha’s claims and later he was taken into writer’s team of Khaidi 150.

Maestro Ilayaraja for Megastar’s Sye Raa?

0

Mega star’s prestigious movie “Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy” is on roll. Test Schedule has been done and crew is all set for longer schedules in the direction of Surender Reddy. However, till now there has been no clarity on who is going to be music director for this magnum opus.

With A.R Rehman announcing that he is not doing this film, film unit came back to square one again on music side. There were rumours that Rehman was quoting remuneration of around 10 crores as it will be marketed as Rehman’s musical in several languages. After Rehman’s exit, Baahubali musician Keeravani’s name was considered for this project, as per grapevine. But no official confirmation yet.

Now, with Chiranjeevi meeting Ilaya Raja recently, rumors started rolling that he is seriously considered for Sye raa movie. Probably Chiranjeevi might have met him to discuss on facilitating him from Telugu film industry as he got Padma Vibhushan award recently. We need to wait and see whether this proposal will materialize or not.

Can that Mega Hero carry Chiru’s Legacy?

0

Of all the Mega heroes, ‘Supreme Star’ Sai Dharam Tej is unique in many aspects. His close resemblance to Megastar and Power Star and his mannerisms make you feel you are watching Megastar once again on the screen. Though the actor needs to add a lot more to his acting, he is clearly a hot favourite in carrying the legacy. Ram Charan is more likely to end up as a producer than a hero, in long-term. Similarly, Varun Tej lacks the mass looks (at least as of now).

But the box-office forecast for Teju hasn’t been warm and welcoming. Teju is having a hellish time at the box-office. With back-to-back flops, the mega hero way behind his counterparts like Varun Tej, Naga Shourya and others. Varun Tej bounced back with blockbuster film Fidaa after Kanche, Loafer, and Mister. Similarly, Naga Shourya is establishing himself as a strong contender in recent times. His latest film ‘Chalo’ is already as a hit at the box-office.

Unfortunately, that is not the case with Sai Dharam Tej. After 4 back-to-back flops, the actor is coming with ‘Intelligent’. Leaving aside all the speculations, hype and aura around the film, it is high time for Sai Dharam Tej to score a hit if he ever wishes to carry Chiru’s legacy on screen. The actor is both hardworking and committed. But his choice of scripts is turning tables against him. Let us hope that, VV Vinayak brings in fortune for Sai Dharam Tej with ‘Intelligent’.

Chiru upset with Mega heroes

0

Megastar Chiranjeevi is someone who is not just concerned about choosing good movies but also meticulously works on the release timing and production related activities. Now, the actor along with his producer brother in law are deeply upset about the releases lined up.
As per the schedule, the versatile hero Varun Tej’s romantic flick Tholi Prema and Sai Dharam Tej’s Inttelligent are releasing on the next weekend of February. These two films are releasing with just a day gap.

Chiru is apparently worried that it would harm the reputation of Mega family and gives an impression to the audience that there are too many Mega heroes in the industry. Also as per sources in case Chiranjeevi attends the event, he is expected to give a “class” to Mega heroes before the audience.

In the mean time, V. V. Vinayak has planned a huge pre release event to promote his upcoming release Inttelligent in Rajahmundry. Sources say that this event is also to promote his political intentions. There are strong rumors that he is harboring ambitions of a MLA seat from Godavari districts in YSR party
