0

Actress Bhumika Chawla is one of the very few heroines to have worked with arguably the Top 3 heroes – Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu and NTR Jr (not necessarily in the same order). She not just acted with them but she was part of their respective biggest blockbusters of the early 2000s. So, when she draws a comparison among the three, one has to pay close attention.

During a recent interview, Bhumika divulged that Mahesh is more fun to work with than Pawan Kalyan and NTR Jr. She has nice words to say about the other two stars as well, something that the fans of the two actors can take pride in. She claimed that NTR is a bundle of energy and that Pawan Kalyan is a very caring person.

Bhumika went on saying that Mahesh however wins you heart with his sense of humor. ‘He is someone who can crack jokes with a straight face, leaving the entire crew in splits,’ she revealed.

Not just Bhumika, many actors and technicians who have worked with Mahesh call him a very jovial person on sets. He is generally assumed to be a very calm and reserved star but only those who have seen him from close know how fun loving person he is.

To jag your memory, Bhumika worked with Pawan in Kushi (2001), Mahesh in Okkadu (2003) and Simhadri (2003).

Dussehra biggies have no takers in Overseas

0

The overseas market for Telugu films has increased by leaps and bounds in the last few years. Producers are reaping good chunk of their overall profits from overseas distribution rights. This is the reason why big ticket producers are demanding hefty amounts from overseas buyers. But, due to the change in the payout structure, the scenario has changed drastically in the last few months. Overseas buyers are cautious about the profit margin and are not willing to shell out huge prices. This is clearly evident as Dussehra biggies are struggling to find buyers in overseas.

As Telugu360 reported earlier, Mahesh Babu’s Spyder is yet to close its business in overseas circuit. Initially, producer quoted an exorbitant 22-25 crore range for overseas rights. As there is no response among trade circles, producer brought the price down to 16-18 Crores. Still, there are no takers for the film despite its crazy combination.

Another big ticket slated to hit the screens for Dussehra is NTR’s Jai Lava Kusa. The film is doing phenomenal business in Telugu states, but the overseas deal is yet to be sealed. Producer quoted around 15 Crores a few months. As no buyer is interested, they are now offering the rights for 11-12 Crores range. But, no has come forward to snap the rights.

Another Dussehra release Paisa Vasool, starring Nandamuri Balakrishna in the lead, is also struggling to close its overseas deal. Sources say that producer is quoting an expensive price and no distributor is willing to pay the quoted amount.

With just two months left for these three releases, it remains to be seen if producers find buyers in overseas circuit.

Huge Promotions for SPYder Targeting Tamil Market

Even though a few earlier films of Superstar Mahesh Babu have been dubbed in Tamil, the actor’s new film ‘SPYder’ is being perceived as his first big opportunity to tap the Tamil market. Hence the makers have decided not to leave any stone unturned to promote the film in a huge way in Tamil Nadu as well as overseas where there is a sizeable proportion of Tamil population.

Malaysia, Singapore and Dubai are the three Tamil-dominated overseas territories, where the Spyder team will travel in a special private jet to promote the film. Media will also accompany them. Interaction with media and fans will follow. Makers are not deterred by the cost involved as there is a potential market for Tamil films in the aforementioned countries. Moreover, Spyder looks to be a Hollywoodish film which can please overseas audiences.

Plans are underway to release the film’s trailer on the eve of Mahesh’s birthday, on August 9. Spyder will have a worldwide release in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi on September 27. Post-production works are currently underway for this spy thriller being made with high technicalities.

0

After the phenomenal success of Baahubali franchise across India, especially in Hindi circuit where the second part emerged as the highest grosser of All Time, Bollywood filmmakers are keenly watching at potential South films that have pan-India appeal. Besides Superstar Rajinikanth’s ‘2,0’, Mahesh Babu’s ‘SPYder’ has been identified as one such film that has the capability of breaking the language barrier.

AA Films, the noted Bollywood distribution firm owed by Anil Thadani, which hit a goldmine by distributing Baahubali 2’s Hindi version, has now acquired the Hindi rights of Spyder, as per a leading national media house. It may be noted that the same firm had earlier came on board to distribute ‘2.0’ across North India.

For the unknown, Anil Thadani of AA Films is a business partner and close friend of Karan Johar, which itself is an explanation enough for his interest in South biggies.
