Young heroes to take on Oopiri?

Nagarjuna has been in red hot form lately with 'Soggade Chinni Nayana' turning out to be one of the biggest hits ever. His upcoming film 'Oopiri' in which he plays a challenging character of a paraplegic is already making very good buzz with beautiful promos. 'Oopiri' is slated for release on March 25 as the makers are trying to cash in on the Good Friday.

Despite the release of 'Oopiri' a couple more small films are also going to release during the same weekend. Sandeep Kishan's 'Run' and Nara Rohith's 'Savitri' are going to clash with 'Oopiri'. This film has an ensemble star cast that includes Nagarjuna, Karthi and Tamanna. It is made on a very high budget of Rs. 60 crores and will have a simultaneous release in Tamil.

'Run' and 'Savitri' makers are completely aware of these facts and also know that Nagarjuna is in the form of his life at the moment. However they are willing to take on 'Oopiri' as they have seen 'Express Raja' and 'Nannaku Prematho' doing well even after competing with blockbuster 'Soggade Chinni Nayana'. Good Friday ain't Pongal to have space for three films though. It is interesting to see which of these promising small films sustain in this big clash. 

Brahmi whats your reply to Kota?

Tollywood star comedian Brahmanandam is only getting star hero films and small time filmmakers are not showing any interest to rope him in their movies owing to budget issues. Although, Brahmi has reduced his pay, young filmmakers are looking for fresh talent with less remuneration.

Senior actor Kota Srinivasa Rao made harsh remarks over Brahmanandam for the kind of roles he is picking off late. Starting from Aha Naa Pellanta, both had associated in so many films and they provided laughs in all of them.

"Brahmanandam has been doing same kind of roles and is living with the same getup for last six years. I don't mind, even if he gets angry over my words. In each film he is doing, he is playing someone who is beaten up to evoke humor. Can this be called as comedy? I don't think so. Actually, Brahmanandam is a fantastic artist, but directors are wasting him," said Kota.

Brahmanandam is steadily losing his charm and even audiences are bored of watching him in same kind of roles. Apparently, Kota is also feeling the same. 

Now, lets see how Brahmanandam will take his words?

Sathyaraj, the actor who played Kattappa in India's biggest motion picture Baahubali, is a popular hero in Tamil and acted in numerous films as a hero. However, it was after he turned a character artiste that his popularity grew multifold, more in Telugu than Tamil.

Why did Kattappa kill Baahubali, this is undoubtedly the most asked question of 2015 and Sathyaraj became a prominent face across the country, thanks to the mystery behind Kattappa's betrayal. Obviously, Satyaraj is one of the very few people who know the secret behind Kattappa killing Baahubali.

But the senior star, being a thorough professional, did not reveal the mystery even to his family members. This was told by Satyaraj's son and actor Sibi Sathyaraj. Sibi apparently requested his father to reveal the mystery several times but the actor didn't oblige.

However, Sibiraj said that Satyharaj revealed the secret to his 2 and a half years old grandson. Well, Chennaiites better forget everyone and be nice to the little boy to know the secret even before April, 2017.

Recently, Kannada hottie Sanjjanaa who is playing an important cameo in the film revealed Pawan's Aparichitudu moment on Sardaar's sets. Apparently, the three separate units were shooting three different sequences, a fight sequence, a dance sequence and a sentimental episode at the same time and same location.
