And the number of shows for the suspense thriller on day 1 would be about 685 which includes the paid premieres and the benefit shows. This is again an all time record for Tollywood movie.

The movie censor show will be on 5th and in few hours from now we are getting the first copy of the movie. The latest trailer has been rocking the net and it clocked close to a million views already in three days time which speaks of the enthu and excitement contained by millions of Mahesh’s fans!

Sankranti gift for Akkineni fans?

Sankranti is the season all movie buffs are waiting. We have two fantastic movies; one from Mega hero and one from Super Star lined up for release, we have more movie delight for the festival with Akkineni family too joining the Sankranti party.

Akkineni multi-starrer Manam shooting is going on in full swing and the unit wants to release its first trailer as Sankranti gift to fans!

Manam stars three Akkineni heroes from three generations. Going by the poster it looks like the movie runs on an interesting story line and getup of ANR and Naga Chaitanya! We wish the trailer gives us a sneak peek into the Manam story!

Controversy of  ‘Radha’

‘Radha’ next flick in the combination of Venky and director Maruthi,snowballed into a controversy in the pre-production stage itself. Going into the details, some time back, an Associate Director working under a reputed director who has to his credit many successful films, approached Venky with a story.  Not impressed with it, at that point of time, Venky expressed his unwillingness to do the movie.  As per the Associate Director, Venky has given green signal to do the same story with Maruti.

He says that Maruti has copied his story and that he would fight to get back his legitimate rights over the story.  He approached the big head of the industry, Dasasri Narayana Rao, and explained him his plight and even registered a complaint in the Writers Association.

Neither the director nor hero came out with an explanation so far on the issue. It seems one strong sentiment is gaining momentum in the industry that is making producers to create some sort of controversy on their movies and the film will be sure shot success. Let us see how many twists and turns ‘Radha’ will face.
