Kannada sensation Rashmika Mandanna joined the top league after she has been roped in to romance Mahesh Babu in his upcoming movie Sarileru Neekevvaru. Right after this, the actress will join the sets of Allu Arjun’s next film that will be directed by Sukumar. This action thriller got its official launch recently and the regular shoot commences from January 2020.
The film is set in the backdrop of sandalwood mafia that happens in Chittoor district. While the role of Allu Arjun is yet to be revealed, there are strong speculations that Rashmika plays the role of a forest officer in this untitled action thriller. Rashmika loved the role and she signed the project. Vijay Sethupathi is the lead antagonist and Devi Sri Prasad is composing the music. Mythri Movie Makers are the producers and the film releases during the end of 2020.
Allu Arjun and Sukumar’s film (AA20) will be launched on October 30. The regular shoot will commence sometime in November. Director Sukumar has roped in Rashmika Mandanna as the heroine. Her name has been finalized long back but there were reports that Sukumar is also looking for other options.
But we hear that the ‘Dear Comrade’ actress has officially been signed to play the role of the main female lead. Mythri Movie Makers has given her advance of remuneration.
Allu Arjun is currently enjoying the success of two songs from his current film ‘Ala Vaikunthapuramlo’, whereas Rashmika is busy shooting for ‘Sarileru Neekevvaru’ with Mahesh Babu. The film will be set in the backdrop of Red sanders smuggle. This will be her first pairing with Allu Arjun. She is taking a very handsome remuneration for this film. She was charged a very low amount for Mythri’s previous movie ‘Dear Comrade’. But now, she is taking home a bigger amount.
Kannada sensation Rashmika Mandanna is racing in Tollywood with back to back films. She is romancing Mahesh Babu in Sarileru Neekevvaru and several filmmakers are in race to lock the actress for their next. Dil Raju already locked Naga Chaitanya for a romantic drama which will be directed by a debutante Sashi. The project rolls early next year once Chaitu turns free from all his commitments.
Rashmika is considered for the female lead’s role. Rashmika is not completely convinced with the assignment and she rejected the film. The makers are now in hunt for a young actress currently to suit the role. The regular shoot will commence from January 2020 and will have its release during summer next year. Naga Chaitanya is currently busy with the shoot of Sekhar Kammula’s untitled romantic entertainer.
Happening beauty Rashmika Mandanna is the toast of the town in Tollywood right now. She is flooded with big ticket offers after her bubbly act in hit films like Chalo and Geetha Govindham. The Dear Comrade actress is proving her versatility with each film and is setting sights on emerging as a top league star very soon.
It is a know fact that she has been roped in as the leading lady in Sukumar’s next film which has Allu Arjun in the lead role. Reports suggest that Sukumar has penned a substantial role for Rashmika. It is learnt that she will be seen in a completely rustic avatar as village belle in this film. Previously, Sukumar penned a similar character for Samantha in Rangasthalam. The story of Bunny’s film revolves around red sanders set in Seshachalam hills backdrop. So, Rashmika will be seen as a rural girl who has a significant role in the script.
The formal launch of this highly anticipated project will happen in the first week of October. Devi Sri Prasad is composing the tunes for the film.
Sometimes, few films take a flying start but then get scrapped for reasons one wound’t even believe. And here is one such project titled ‘Adhe Nuvvu Adhe Nenu’, which is being produced by Dil Raju and directed by debutante Sashi, but got scrapped.
Initially, the project featured the launch of Mahesh Babu’s elder sister (Jayadev Galla’s wife) son Ashok Galla in the lead role, while Nabha Natesh is to play the leading lady. They have done a formal pooja event and also shot for a schedule, but the project came to a grinding halt for reasons unknown.
The latest update is that Naga Chaitanya and Rashmika Mandanna will be starring in the lead roles in Adhe Nuvvu Adhe Nenu which will be joined by another production company alongside Dil Raju. Though everyone is maintaining that only the title is retained but everything from story to backdrop is new, the buzz has that indeed it is the same scrapped project.
Mahesh Babu’s upcoming film Sarileru Neekevvaru is progressing at a swift pace with no break. Already the team has wrapped up a hectic schedule in Jammu and Kashmir and completed a hilarious episode in a special train set erected in Hyderabad.
An on-location picture from the shooting spot of this film is going viral in social media since today morning. This picture seems to be taken after canning the hilarious comedy episode in the train set featuring the principal cast of the film. It has Rashmika Mandanna, Bandla Ganesh, Sangeetha, Hari Teja and a few other character artists in a happy mood along with director Anil Ravipudi.
It is a known fact that Anil Ravipudi promised a laugh riot with this particular episode and audience are eagerly waiting to find what he has in store for them. It is learnt that this train episode will last for nearly half an hour and will leave audience in splits. Mahesh Babu is playing an army major in this film.
Sarileru Neekevvaru is slated for release in Sankranthi next year. Anil Sunkara and Dil Raju are bankrolling the film.
Tollywood heartthrob Vijay Deverakonda is now coming up with a college drama titled Dear Comrade. He is playing a student leader in this youthful romantic entertainer which stars Rashmika Mandanna as the leading lady. The refreshing trailers with college backdrop and hit music album have set up good expectations on the film.
Let’s find out if Dear Comrade will further Vijay’s stardom or not. Here is the detailed review
Story :
Chaitanya alias Bobby ( Vijay Deverakonda) is an aggressive student leader with communist ideology at Kakinada university. His radical approach towards society’s problems often bring him troubles. Aparna Devi alias Lilly ( Rashmika ) is a state level cricketer and neighbor to Bobby in Kakinada.
As you can guess, love blossoms between them but given the aggressive nature of Bobby ,Lilly requests him to calm down and stay peaceful in life. While she is dual minded about marrying him , a serious issue happens to her career and personal life as well. How she overcomes the issue with the help of Bobby is rest of the story.
Analysis :
First half opens with introductory scenes to encash Vijay’s image. When actual story takes off as flashback , Hero Chaitanya ( Vijay D ) has been shown as a grandson of a communist leader ‘Comrade Suryam‘. Living up to the legacy , Chaitanya is a communist student leader in the university. Given the premise, there is good scope to bring some novelty into the film. One expects hero to take up different issue(s) in the society, but all he does is beating up roadside romeos etc. Thus the core characterization mellows down in initial phase itself. To entertain the audience, loverboy role comes out when Aparna ( Rashmika ) joins him as neighbor. The chemistry between the lead pair is appealing, enhanced with cool melodious songs like ‘ Nee Neeli kannulloni aakasame ‘ ‘ Kadalalle veche kanule ‘. Overall, the first half ends on average note.
In Second half , backdrop shifts to Kashmir for a while, then completely to Hyderabad. ‘ Oh Kala laa .. ‘ song is superb. From this point, the story is focussed on Lilly alias Aparna Devi’s (Rashmika) hurdles in career. Present day’s burning issue #MeToo , Sexual harassment at work place are taken up. Till the end it is about how hero helps heroine on this aspect.
Debutante writer, director Bharath Kamma has written a message oriented story , TRIED TO execute it in a realistic manner. In the process of being realistic , he ended up as a slow paced narrator who missed the required cinematic magic in the screenplay. The scenes often appeared dull.
Story tries to be progressive , romantic and message oriented all three at a time without catering any single element satisfactorly. The final output of the script is one that had lost the original flavor.
Production values by Mythri , Big Ben Cinemas are excellent. This film scores good as well on technical values as well. Justin Prabhakaran’s soothing tunes and background music are a plus. Sujith Saarang’s cinematography is good especially in Kashmir episodes.
Performances :
Vijay Deverakonda stands out yet again with his performance as Bobby .There are few scenes designed only to bank on his image, he excelled. Rashmika handles first half super comfortably , in second half where the story is heroine oriented he did just okay. Shruti Ramachandran who played Rashmika’s sister is good looking girl for such roles, acted well.
Positives :
Three Melodious Songs
Chemistry between the lead pair
Vijay D , Rashmika’s Image matching scenes
Negatives :
Serious themed film end to end
No creativity nor freshness in the script despite being from debutante
Script that restarts itself multiple times
Dragged second half
Verdict :
Dear Comrade is an average film with no solid positive takeout points. Vijay’s charishma , Vijay – Rashmika’s chemistry and three songs are the saving grace for this film. First half is passable and cannot be said the same for second half. Overall , a film that TRIED many things but couldn’t achieve what it is supposed to be.
