Shocking Remuneration For Nayantara For Chiranjeevi's 151st Film?

If inside sources are to believed, actress Nayantara would be charging a bomb for Chiranjeevi's 151st film Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy. Nayantara is reportedly charging a whopping Rs 4 Crore as her remuneration for Uyyalawada, making her the most-expensive actress in South. 

Nayan who usually charge 2 to 2.5 Crore per film, said to have agreed for 4 Crore for Uyyalawada which will be simultaneously shot in both Telugu and Tamil. This is not all. Producers have plans to dub the film into Malayalam, Hindi. Considering this, makers said to have agreed to pay 4 Crore to Nayan and the actress would also take part of the film's promotion.

However, the film's protagonist Chiranjeevi is not charging any remuneration formally. Since Chiru's own son and actor Ram Charan is producing the film on home production Konidela Production Company, Mega Star wouldn't be paid.

The film would be formally launched on August 15 and the film's shoot is expected to commence from September. An official announcement is expected shortly. It is common knowledge by now that the high-budgeted film is going to be directed by Surender Reddy whose last film was Ram Charan's Dhruva.

Chiranjeevi's Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy Launch Date

After Megastar Chiranjeevi rewrote Box Office history with his comeback film, 'Khaidi No.150', fans are eagerly waiting for the launch of the actor's 151st film. If the ongoing buzz is anything to go by, makers are planning to launch this film on the coming Independence Day.

It is known that #Chiru151 is the biopic of Telugu freedom fighter Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy. Earlier, plan was to launch this prestigious project on the eve of Megastar's birthday, on August 22.

However, having come to a conclusion that the best day for the launch of a biopic on freedom fighter is, the Independence Day, makers have reportedly decided to prepone their plan by a week and launch #Chiru151 on a grand scale on the eve of this year's Independence Day, August 15.

Meanwhile,the pre-production work and casting process is progressing at rapid pace. Nayanathara is reportedly on board to play the female lead. Ram Charan is producing this mega project on a budget of around Rs 120 crore.

RGV Describes Biggies With One Word !

In a recent interview, controversial film maker Ram Gopal Varma has described some of the biggest names in film industry and politics in one word. While his answer may please fans of some, others may get annoyed, and most others may get confused with his enigmatic answers.

Below is how he had described the actors and politicians.

Prabhas: 'Sexiest Power'

Rajamouli: 'Messiah of films'

Jr NTR: 'Befitting Sr NTR'

Nagarjuna: Love

Chiranjeevi: Star Mega

Ram Charan: Dheerudaina Magaadu

He seems to have just reversed 'Mega Star' and 'Maga Dheera' titles.

Naga Babu: Lovely Brother (quite unexpected answer)

Allu Arjun : Dangerous Rabbit

The most enigmatic and RGV-mark answer was witnessed in the case of Allu Arjun. Amidst the turmoil over 'Bunny vs Pawan Fans', the hullabaloo regarding Bunny trying to take over 'Megastar' title etc. RGV's remark against Bunny may have a deeper meaning. 

Time for some politicians...RGV has mysterious and sarcastic answers...

Chandrababu Naidu: Navvuleni Nayakudu (The Leader who doesn't Smile)

Jagan: Sannani Inumu (Thin Iron)

Pawan Kalyan as Politician: Wait and Watch

How Baahubali Boosted Magadheera?

Just like 'Baahubali', ace director Rajamouli had carved a masterpiece called 'Magadheera', a decade ago, which wiped out almost all the existing records. Now, the Ram Charan starrer has added another feather to its highly decorated cap.   

The Hindi dubbed version of Magadheera has become the first Hindi dubbed South Indian film to cross 100 million views on Youtube. The new milestone scaled by Magadheera can be attributed largely to Rajamouli and his latest visual wonder, Baahubali.

Post the worldwide success of Baahubali, North Indian movie lovers have started searching for Rajamouli's previous movies, and hence the surge in Magadheera's Youtube views. Besides Baahubali, recently released Hindi film, 'Raabta' has also helped Magadheera partly. Since Raabta has been widely publicized as the unauthorized remake of 'Magadheera', North people showed interest in watching the original film.

All in all, a Telugu film - Magadheera scaling this phenomenal record on Youtube is truly a proud moment for Telugu film lovers. Post Baahubali, film lovers across the nation are looking at Tollwood with awe and respect.

Reason Why the Movie Titled Rangasthalam

Literary meaning of "Rangasthalam" is 'stage' and everyone believed that mega hero Ram Charan will be seen as a drama-artist inside his new film.

Directed by Sukumar and featuring Samantha in the lead, "Rangasthalam 1985" completed its Godavari schedule other day and the team will soon fly to Kerala and the return back to Hyderabad to finish total work. Insiders have revealed an interesting thing about the title of this film, which we hear that Megastar Chiranjeevi hasn't liked initially.

Actually, the name of the village where the whole story happens is "Rangasthalam". Though such village didn't really exist in Godavari's Konaseema region, we hear that Sukumar has come up with this idea as there is a link to it in the story. 

Meanwhile, the scenes involving Ram Charan and Samantha are said to be a revelation both for their romantic content and comedy timing as well. Both the leads are flaunting their village-laced looks in some leaked pictures and they are a hit with fans. Rangasthalam 1985 is set for 2018 January release.

Unintentionally Allu Arjun Takes Dig At Ram Charan?

Allu Arjun, who has allegedly been waging a cold war with Pawan Kalyan's fans, has now reportedly angered Ram Charan's fans because of his loose tongue.

In a recent interview, when asked about which film or song of Megastar Chiranjeevi would he like to remake or remix, Bunny replied that he believes Megastar has a style that no one can replicate. 'I don't think trying to imitate him is a wise thing to do, hence I have stayed away from remixing his songs. Moreover, I like to be original,' reportedly added Bunny.

In his bid to explain why he didn't touch Megastar's work, Bunny may have unintentionally taken potshots at Ram Charan who has remixed good number of his father's songs. Charan has even confessed at times that he would love to remake 'Gang Leader'. Mega fans have also on occasions expressed their happiness on seeing Charan in iconic songs and films of Megastar.

Bunny may not have targeted Charan but his comments have not gone well with Charan's fans and discussions have already started on social media in this regard.

High privacy for Charan- Arjun movie?

Lately, both Ram Charan and his cousin Allu Arjun are making sure that their films are shot under huge privacy that even a news related to them will not get leaked.
Although none knows how Bunny's DJ Duvvada Jagannadam got started and wrapped almost 80% already, even Ram Charan headed to Konaseema to wrap Sukumar's film without any hungama. As per highly placed sources, a senior star director is now said to be working on a multi-starer script that stars Charan and Arjun in the leads. 

Earlier the film Yevadu has shown both Allu Arjun and Ram Charan, but they didn't play characters that act concurrently with each other. Now in this latest movie, they will be seen together from the first frame to end credits. As of now, details related to writers and director of this project are a well-kept secret. 

Adding fuel to the fire, Geetha Arts has now registered the title "Charan Arjun" and if not a multi-starer film featuring Charan and Bunny, which hero will get this title from this camp?

HappyBirth Day Ram Charan

Chiru in Triangular Love Story?

Director Surender Reddy, along with Paruchuri Brothers, is preparing a powerful story for Megastar Chiranjeevi’s soon to be launched 151st project. The film will be bankrolled by Ram Charan and it will go on floors in mid April.

Titled Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy, this historical drama will showcase the legacy of the great freedom fighter from the Telugu land, Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy. Now, according to the latest reports, Chiranjeevi will be romancing two heroines in this movie. Apparently, the script features a triangular love story.

Currently, the makers ​are busy with​ the pre-production work and a hunt is on to zero in on the leading ladies.

Ram Charan's Dhruva Release Date confirmed

Ram Charan’s highly anticipated movie, Dhruva, gets its release date. Apparently, the film’s makers are planning to release it on 2nd December. Meanwhile, the recently released teaser got a superb response with more than 2.8M views and still counting.

Rakul Preet Singh is the female lead in this action thriller and the movie is being directed by Surender Reddy. The film’s music has been composed by Hip Hop Tamizha. Allu Aravind produces this high budget entertainer.

After Movies It's Time for Teasers To clash?

If the latest reports in film circles are anything to go by, superstar Mahesh Babu and mega power star Ram Charan might clash once again.

It may be recalled that 'SVSC' and 'Nayak' starring Mahesh and Charan respectively, clashed for Sankranthi 2013. During the same season next year, the duo clashed once again with their respective films 'Nenokkadine' and 'Yevadu'. Even 'Govindudu Andarivadele' and 'Aagadu' were released with a gap of less than two weeks.

However, this time their films will not be clashing directly but the duo are gearing to release the teasers of their much awaited films on the same day. Mahesh Babu is currently busy shooting for his new film in the direction of AR Murugadoss. The first look of this action entertainer is expected to arrive for Dasara with the teaser arriving for Diwali festival.

On the other hand, the first look of Charan's 'Dhruva' was already released to good response. Film's teaser will be released for this Diwali.

The comparisons will obviously be drawn as both the films are expected to have the actors playing police officer role.  Staggering expectations are riding on both the films and we hope both actors satisfy movie lovers with their film teasers.  

Its a Carzy Crazy Shirt?

Actor Jagapathi Babu has become the latest Telugu actor to sport a shirt which was earlier noticed to have been sported by several other top league actors.

While megastar Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan and Superstar Mahesh Babu were seen sporting the shirt at separate events, NTR has used it twice in movies like 'Baadhah' and 'Janatha Garage'. When Jaggu bhai was seen sporting the same shirt at the audio launch event of 'Jaguar', twitterati couldn't control the excitement and started discussions.

One enthusiastic fan sarcastically said that MAA President Rajendra Prasad might have distributed that shirt to all tollywood actors. Few fans have already started searching for the stores to buy a similar shirt for themselves. 

Is Dhruva Craze Increasing?

There is no big buzz on Mega Power Star Ram Charan's Dhruva as the film is delayed several times, and it is not a straight film, but remake of a Tamil movie. Surprisingly, irrespective of many negative factors surrounding the project, Dhruva is still a hot cake in trade circles.

Dhruva Nellore rights have been sold for Rs 2.25crs. Although this is personal best for Charan, it isn't an all-time record price. While Baahubali sold for 3.5 Cr holds the record for the area, NTR's Janatha Garage made 2.34 Cr pre-release business. Charan's previous best for the territory was 1.9 CR (Bruce Lee-The Fighter).

Although Charan is failing to enter million dollar club, Classics Entertainment has invested a whopping amount of Rs 8.5 crores to acquire overseas rights of Dhruva which is highest ever for Charan. Hence, Dhruva should make at least 2 million dollar business in US to become a safe venture for the distributor.

Vizag rights of the movie were sold for Rs 5.40 crores, while Ceded rights fetched Rs 9 crores for producer Allu Aravind who is releasing Dhruva in rest of the areas on own.

Dhruva is in last leg of shooting. The film that stars Rakul Preet Singh and Aravind Swamy in other lead roles is likely to release on December 2nd. 

Why Aravind Swamy is Not Happy With Dhruva?

Yesteryear romantic hero Aravind Swamy had got most recognition than anybody for Thani Oruvan that starred Jayam Ravi in protagonist role. The Bombay star won accolades from critics for his terrific performance in the comeback is playing the same role in Telugu version titled Dhruva. The film starring mega power star Ram Charan in lead role is in its last leg of shooting.

As per reliable sources, Director Surender Reddy & Co. has made several changes to script to suit Telugu sensibilities. In addition, they augmented hero's characterization and at the same time Aravind Swamy is given less significance compared to original version. They even said to have modified climax of the film.

It is heard that, Aravind Swamy is stunned seeing alterations to script and his character. Although the actor was disappointed with the development, he is not troubling the makers and is taking part in the shoot. Actually, he joined the shoot in the recent schedule in Hyderabad.

The makers thought of employing other actor for the antagonist role, before Dhruva went on floors. They at last finalized Aravind Swamy, since they couldn't find right replace for him.

Due to numerous reasons, Dhruva production works are progressing at slow pace. The film produced by Allu Aravind is likely to release on December 2nd.

Chiranjeevi Have to Finalize It?

Yesteryear mega producer Ashwini Dutt is longing to make sequel to megastar Chiranjeevi starred classic film Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari (JVAS) that was directed by K Raghavendra Rao.

Ashwini Dutt recently registered the title Jagadeka Veerudu with film chamber to make sequel to the yesteryear supernatural fantasy film with Chiru's son Ram Charan. Currently, script works are underway for the film.

Ashwini Dutt's daughters Swapna Dutt and Priyanka Dutt who produced several medium budget films in recent times are supervising the pre-production works. However, director who is going to helm the sequel isn't finalized. In fact, it is Chiranjeevi who will decide on script and director for the film.

JVAS that had Sridevi in female lead role is a very special movie for Chiranjeevi and few others who had associated with it. Although Chiru is elated with the idea of making sequel to his super hit, he wants script should be fascinating like the original.

Chiru is giving the chance to Dutt since he share good rapport with the producer who actually made the original under Vyjayanthi Movies Banner. Other details will be unveiled once after script is locked. 

Charan Do you Need This Class Director?

Mega Power Star Ram Charan is continuously failing to score a 'Magadheera' range hit is trying all kinds of subjects off late. He even picked class and family subjects to gratify one section of audience, since he already has huge fans base in masses.

If reports are anything to go by, star director Mani Ratnam is planning to make a different commercial film with Ram Charan. Although the director makes all kinds of films, he is referred to as a class director because of his making style. He makes even action and mass subjects classily. Will Charan try another class film?

Mani wanted to make a multistarrer film with Mahesh Babu and Nagarjuna. However, this project got shelved since Mahesh wasn't convinced with script.

Chiranjeevi and Mani Ratnam who reached top range in their heydays couldn't collaborate even for a single film. If all goes well, Chiru's son will join hands with the sensible maker. 

Mani's magical touch in dealing romance had been missing in his last few films. Some feel that, it will be a risky move if Charan gives nod for the project! 

The Reason why Khaidi No 150 is Going at slow pace?

Rumours are rife that director VV Vinayak is compromising a lot for Chiranjeevi's ongoing film Khaidi No 150. Apparently, Vinayak is not happy with the involvement of many in the filmmaking and this reportedly led to the differences between Vinayak and others. However, Vinayak has no other option but said to be compromising for Chiru.

Given that the film is prestigious and landmark for Chiru and so for whole mega clan, and it is touted to be full-fledged comeback of Mega Star, his family especially producer Ram Charan is taking lot of care on the film. And this is said to be not going well with Vinayak. This is now affecting the shooting schedule of the film and the shooting is going on at a slow pace.

Billed to be the remake of Tamil superhit Kaththi, the film features Kajal Aggarwal alongside Chiru. The makers have planned to release the film for Sankranthi. Let's wait and see whether the film make it on time or not. 

Lavanya In Kajal's Path?

Kajal Aggarwal has embossed her name in the cinema history books by becoming the only actress of this generation to romance real life father and son in different films. Now, Lavanya Tripathi is gearing up to repeat this amazing feat.

After pairing alongside Ram Charan in 'Magadheera', 'Nayak' and 'Govindudu Andarivadele', Kajal has teamed up with his father megastar Chiranjeevi for his 150th film. In her bid to repeat this stunning feat, after romancing Akkineni Nagarjuna in 'Soggade Chinni Nayana', Lavanya Tripathi is gearing up to romance his son Naga Chaitanya in a new film.

Akkinnei Naga Chaitanya has collaborated with 'Soggade Chinni Nayana' director Kalyan Krishna for a romantic drama, which will go on floors in October. According to that latest update, makers roped in Rakul Preet Singh as well as Lavanya Tripathi to pair with Chaitu. It is the first time for Rakul to share the screen space with Chaitanya whereas Lavanaya was earlier seen alongside him in a cameo in Manam'.

Lavanya also worked with Kalyan Krishna in the director's debut movie 'Soggade Chinni Nayana'. Nagarjuna is going to produce this untitled romantic drama. 

Intense Demand For Chiranjeevi's "Khaidi No 150" in Overseas

He may have been away from the arclights for the last 8 years, but the craze for Megastar Chiranjeevi has not reduced even an inch. Chiru's prestigious comeback movie Khaidi No 150 is now the centre of attraction, months before its release.

Already, there has been a tremendous craze for the theatrical rights Khaidi No 150 from all areas including overseas. The latest buzz is that producer Ram Charan has sold off Khaidi No 150's overseas distribution rights for a staggering 13.50 crores.

Leading overseas distributors Classic Entertainments have grabbed this much anticipated film's overseas rights amid cutthroat competition. Incidentally, this is the highest ever price offered for a Telugu film apart from Baahubali.

This once again proves that Chiru is not just making his comeback like a boss but he is also making the younger generation stars run for their money even at the age of 61. The game will get even more intense and exciting when Khaidi No 150 releases for Bhogi along with other biggies.

Ram Charan's Postpone Gives more space for Chai's Premam?

As Ram Charan starrer 'Dhruva's first look was released on the eve of Independence Day, everyone thought that 'Dhruva' will get released in October 9th as announced. But latest reports say that Ram Charan backed out of Dussera race.

Rumours are that 'Dhruva' needs some more time to get wrapped up. Ram Charan is reportedly spending a lot of time on Chiranjeevi's 'Khaidi No.150' as he is the producer of the film. This is the main reason behind the delay of this 'Thani Oruvan' remake. The film will be releasing on December 2nd.

This move by the makers of 'Dhruva' indirectly helped 'Premam' team as they came forward by two days and it will be hitting the marquee on October 7th. This Chaitanya-Shruti Hassan starrer was expected to have a clash with 'Dhruva' but now it will be having a solo release. Hope both these remakes become super hits and Chai and Charan gets back on hit track.
