0

Superstar Mahesh Babu is one of the brand ambassador for Thums Up in India. Recently, a new advertisement featuring Mahesh in an action packed setup has been released and fans have been going gaga for its racy cut and intense visuals.

The 50 seconds video trailer has Mahesh Babu in a larger than life action sequence shot inside a forest. Mahesh’s blistering avatar and the racy screenplay in this ad show what his directors have been missing out in recent times. Most of the directors of his recent films have largely focused on elevating his handsome and stylish looks but didn’t come up with elements that showcase him in mass and intense side like the one seen in this ad. Nevertheless, fans are very ecstatic after seeing Mahesh in a rugged and rough avatar.

Currently, the Bharat Ane Nenu actor is busy shooting for Vamshi Paidipalli’s film in Hyderabad.

Maharshi 8 Crore set : Classic case of superfluous spending

Budget is one of the major aspects of filmmaking. Sensible planning of schedules and locations is very crucial to make a film without overshooting the budget. Of late, Tollywood filmmakers are failing to control budget spent on big ticket films. The latest case is Mahesh Babu’s upcoming film Maharshi.

Reportedly, a lavish village set has been mounted with a cost of 8 Crores. As the story demands to shoot some crucial part of the film in a village atmosphere, the makers have decided to erect this special set in Hyderabad. They are spending a whopping 10 Crores for this schedule. Usually, shooting in villages might cost around 1 or 2 Crores for filmmakers. But, they are not willing to shoot in real villages due to several reasons and choosing to erect sets in studios which results in unnecessary budget.

To compensate for the high budget, producers tend to quote exorbitant prices for the theatrical rights and therefore pushing the break even figure to an unreasonable mark. Unless films emerge as blockbusters at box office, they fail to break even for buyers.

In the olden days, directors used to recreate sets for the environment which is not available. But, now a days, they are preferring artificial sets even though the resources are naturally available. It is high time, filmmakers and heroes plan judiciously and avoid unnecessary spending of budget.

Mahesh – Vamshi Paidipally film : A risky bet in overseas

Superstar Mahesh Babu’s last film Bharat Ane Nenu emerged as one of the biggest grossers in overseas. The film collected close to $ 3.5 M, but only resulted in meagre profits for its buyers as the theatricals were sold for relatively higher prices due to the heady and successful combination of Mahesh and Koratala. Now, the stakes on Mahesh’s 25th film Maharshi are also quite high.

Reportedly, the makers of Maharshi are getting fancy offers in the range of 16 Crores for overseas rights. Discussions are currently on between the producers and buyers and the deal might be closed very soon. Trade analysts opine that it is going to be a risky bet for trade circles as the film needs to emerge as a solid hit in overseas to be a profitable venture for its buyers. They are cautioning that Bharat Ane Nenu managed just to break even though it collected a terrific gross of $ 3.5 M in overseas.

So, Maharshi needs to perform exceptionally well if all its buyers need to be in safe zone. As the film is releasing in Summer, the expectations are very high. It will be another test for Mahesh Babu’s stamina in overseas.

Will Mahesh return advance or do a film for RR Venkat ?

Heroes and directors have the habit of taking advance from producers to give their future dates. If they fail to fulfill the commitment, the advance will be returned with interest. Or else, they may manage to do a film after some delay. Superstar Mahesh Babu is now facing a similar situation.

At the time of Business Man movie, Mahesh Babu took an advance of 5 Crores from producer RR Venkat of RR Movie Makers. After Business Man, Mahesh and Puri were supposed to team up again for a film under the production house. However, the project didn’t materialize due to several reasons. But, Mahesh didn’t return the advance till date.

Close sources revealed that Mahesh is in a dilemma. He is in plans to somehow honour his commitment to RR Venkat because the advance has inflated to 15 Crores with interest. So, he is looking to do a film quickly for RR Venkat and settle the promise he made six years ago. But, with the busy line up Mahesh has got for the next couple of years, it is going to be very difficult for him to do a film for that banner. It remains to be seen how he comes out of this tricky situation.

Ram Charan’s Hindi market bigger than Mahesh and NTR


Ram Charan Vinaya Vidheya Rama Hindi dubbing rights

The Hindi dubbing rights of Ram Charan’s upcoming film with Boyapati Srinu were snapped for a whopping 22 Crores which is the highest for a Telugu film in recent times. The film, titled as Vinaya Vidheya Rama, is billed as a mass commercial potboiler with good dose of action and emotion. As masala entertainers are finding good traction with Hindi audience these days, distributors have shelled out a handsome price for this film.

Also, the makers of Mahesh Babu’s upcoming film Maharshi have closed a hefty deal with a noted North India distributor. Reportedly, the Hindi dubbing rights of Maharshi were sold for 20 Crores. NTR’s latest release Aravindha Sametha also piqued the interest of Hindi distributors as the dubbing rights were bagged for 18 Crores. As Trivikram’s previous film ended as huge disaster, distributors were reluctant to offer beyond 18 Crores and the deal was closed recently.

In terms of Hindi market, Ram Charan is clearly ahead of Mahesh Babu and NTR. While Vinaya Vidheya Rama will hit the screens for Sankranthi, Maharshi is slated for release in Summer.

‘NTR’ team waiting for Mahesh Babu

0

The prestigious NTR’s biopic has been creating ripples across Telugu cinema because of the casting, the transformation of actors and the perfect planning by the team. Krish’s vision in presenting NTR has been getting wide reception with the released posters that brought huge buzz for the project. With NTR being made in two parts, the shoot of the first part NTR – Kathanayakudu has been wrapped up mostly. The episodes of Superstar Krishna are yet to be canned. NTR and Krishna shared a special bonding during their acting days and two competed well with their films.

Though there have been differences, they never parted ways. The team of NTR is keen on presenting their friendship. Balayya too is not in a mood to wrap up the film without the role of Superstar Krishna. Balakrishna personally called Mahesh Babu and asked him if he is ready to essay the role of his father in NTR. Mahesh who is currently in USA is yet to reveal his decision about this. The team of NTR is eagerly waiting for the actor’s decision.

Krish and his team are quite confident of Mahesh playing the role of his father. If the actor rejects the proposal, the makers are in plans to chop off Krishna’s role from the prestigious biopic. Mahesh Babu joining NTR will sure bring extra mileage for the film. We have to wait to see if Mahesh steps out with a positive nod for the prestigious biopic.

Exclusive: Is Mahesh rethinking about Sukumar’s Project?

Superstar Mahesh Babu is on a roll and is shooting for Vamshi’s Paidipally’s Maharshi which has been slated for April 2019 release. The actor signed a film for Sukumar after a thunderous hit like Rangasthalam. Mythri Movie Makers will bankroll this prestigious project. Sukumar along with his team have been working on the script from the past few months. Though he narrated couple of lines, Mahesh wasn’t excited about them and wanted Sukumar to come up with an innovative plot.

Three immensely talented associates of Sukumar who are strong in scripting walked out of his team and are all set to turn directors soon. This is a huge dent for the top director however he is working on couple of lines. Sukumar even shifted focus on production and inked interesting deals with Mythri Movie Makers and a film with Allu Arjun’s new production house. This is said to have delayed his work for Mahesh’s film.

Mahesh on the flip side is in hunt for young and talented directors who can wrap films in quick successions. With NTR and Ram Charan locked for Rajamouli’s project, the duo will not be available for the next two years. With no stiff competition from the top league, Mahesh in this gap is keen on doing two back to back films before he starts working for Rajamouli’s film in 2020.

Mahesh is rethinking about Sukumar’s film as it will take longer to complete. The actor is keen on taking a call after listening to the bound script. For Sukumar, finalizing a line and penning the bound script will take 6-8 months and he needs a year for shoot. In this while, Mahesh can wrap up two films which will prove his box-office potential before he starts shooting for SS Rajamouli’s film. Hence the actor is in rethinking mode and is in hunt for the right options.

Mahesh’s US event : Trusting Meher Ramesh led to debacle

Tollywood Superstar Mahesh Babu commands a huge fan following among Telugus in USA. This is one of the reasons why a charity event has been planned by MAA with Mahesh Babu as chief guest. The event which was supposed to be held on this 27th has been cancelled due to poor response for tickets from audience there.

Though the organisers are stating that the event was cancelled due to security issues, it is clear that there is no sufficient sale of tickets to go ahead with the plans. It is reliably learnt that poor event management planning is the reason behind the disappointing response from audience.

As MAA team involved in a acrimonious dispute over Chiranjeevi’s event in US earlier this year, they wanted to plan Mahesh Babu’s event with much more care. The association wanted to hire a professional event manager for this event. However, it was Meher Ramesh and a couple of his friends who approached Namrata and assured her to make this event a big success. Trusting them, Namrata gave consent to organise the event even though MAA advised not to do so. But, due to the poor planning by Meher Ramesh’s team, the response for tickets sales is very lukewarm, forcing them to cancel the event. Had there been an experienced event manager, the charity show would have been organised in a grand manner.

Sources say that Namrata is very upset with Meher Ramesh’s shoddy planning and furious over the cancellation of this prestigious event which is a body blow to Mahesh Babu and MAA reputation.
