Godavari Girl With Surya For a Special Song?

Actress Neetu Chandra, who has made a splashy appearance in Sekhar Kammula's 'Godavari' movie, has reportedly danced to a special song in Suriya's forthcoming action entertainer 'Singam 3'.

The song was reportedly shot at a specially set erected at Binny Mills in Chennai over a period of four days. It is not exactly an item song but said to be the introductory song of Suriya. Neetu Chandra will however be seen shaking her booty in this special song beginning with the line "Sona Sona Supersonic". Harris Jayaraj has composed this peppy number. It may be recalled that actress Anjali had done a special song in "Singam 2".

The shooting of S3 is nearing completion. The teaser of the film is likely to be released for Diwali festival and the trailer and film's album are expected to be unveiled in the month of November. Makers have recently announced that S3 will screens on December 16.

Written and directed by Hari, S3 is produced by KE Gnanavel Raja and the film stars Shruti Haasan and Anushka as the female leads.

Hansika goes gaga about Mass Maharaja

Hansika goes gaga about Mass Maharaja

Chubby girl Hansika may not be having a great time on the personal front coping up with a break up recently. But the actress seems to be on a roll on career front.

The actress has more than seven movies on hand and has been busier than ever these days. The actress has also surprised her fans by reducing over 16 kilos weight and looking slim and sexy! She is currently shooting for Ravi Teja starrer Power.

Hansika got a chance before to act opposite Ravi Teja but somehow things materialized only for the Power movie and the actress could not stop praising theMass Maharaja for his comic timing! When a media scribe in a recent interview asked her experience of working with the actor she said that she would compare Ravi Teja to Hollywood’s Jim Carrey.

She added that Ravi Teja is so much fun to have around! It is surely heartwarming to know when praises are coming from heart and certainly Hansika’s look so! And it takes a huge heart to praise others, certainly Hansika has the hugest of it!

Bobby of Balupu is debuting with the movie and Rockline Venkatesh is producing the movie on Rockline Entertainments banner. The movie is expected to release during June!

Biryani-Story:

Movie about a Corinthian Sudheer (Karthi) and his best friend clean-handed Parushuram (Premgi Amaran) who work for Mahindra company. Sudheer always likes what Parushuram admires and loves. That’s how he falls in love with Priyanka (Hansika Motwani). But things around when one night stand goes pear shaped when young woman, Maaya, accepts a lift home from Sudheer and Parushuram. After one-night-stand they wake up with their lives in complete in highlights. They end up with a murdered body, they don’t understand what happened to Maaya (Mandy Takhar)? CBI investigator Riyaz Ali (Sampath) in the meanwhile understands the seriousness of the issue and gets along the kidnap case of Varadharajulu (Nassar) a powerful corrupt politician. Things slowly reveal and take a completely unexpected turn in the end.

Biriyani - Star Performance:

The performances in the film are a mixed bag. Karthi played a playboy character. He is tailor made for this role. Hansika Motwani brings fresh faced innocence in the first half later brings unbridled confidence in the second half of the film. She has limited to a under developed characterization. Premgi Amaren is good in some scenes, but appears fake in others. Mandi Takhar is magnificent and gets ample scope to shine in a film that doesn't entirely belong to her. Nassar is okay in his small role as Politician. Madhumathi has got a neat role. Sampath is stiff in his role as a CBI officer Riyaz.

Biriyani - Techinical Team:

The main storyline of the film is a sort of inspired from Hangover but the way Venkat Prabhu developed the movie must be appreciated. Biryani deals MURDER MYSTERY, Venkat Prabhu added his mark parallel dark comedy and action episode. Excessive effort to add comedy has diluted the seriousness of the film. There are quite a few loopholes in the narration of the film. Director tried making romantic thriller with feel good texture, but he could not inject the soul to the characters. The much needed climax twist could have been handled better. Dialogues in the film by Shashank Vennelakanti are routine.

The movie also marks an important milestone for Yuvan Shankar Raja as it is his 100th film. Music by Yuvan is effective, but none of the songs stay with you and seem to have been placed in the film merely as fillers. Background Score supports the scenes. Cinematography by Sakthi Saravanan is good. The frames are rich and colorful. Editing by Praveen K. L & N. B. Srikanth could have been crispier. The major suspense get mixed up with alternate episodes. Production values of Studio Green is praise worthy.

Biriyani - Analysis:

The essence of the movie which is reflected in the one night stand, Sister sentiment and investigation fails to penetrate deep in the minds of the viewer’s mainly because director Venkat Prabhu’s narration lacks seriousness. It is a perfect example to show how bad direction can change dynamics of a film and turn it upside down.

The visually rich Biryani fails to make an impact because it lacks the necessary punch in its screenplay. The problem with Biryani is that it doesn't capitalize on the premise it is built on. Instead, it steers away to produce yet another cheesy entertainer. I thought the first fifteen minutes of the film were entertaining, made audiences laugh and interested, but what followed after that was downright boring and proof of bad writing. Feel sorry for Karthi whose efforts seems to have gone the drain.

Who is behind ONE marketing strategies, Karthik revealed Biryani story

Who is behind ONE marketing strategies

For the first time in Tollywood everything is going as per a plan, rather fans themselves creating all the buzz. Here we have set of functions when it comes to big movies and their promotion, but nothing beyond that. However things are quite different for Superstar Mahesh. This is regarding the promotions his upcoming flick '1 Nenokkadine'. Check this out.

Already, initial teasers have brought lot of attention to '1 Nenokkadine' and the leaked stills of the flick created much more curiosity. Then the idea of airing audio function live in theatres created a rage for the kind of thought. It is then followed by the plan to distribute merchandise including t-shirts, caps, key chains, stickers and badges along with the audio-CD for those who buy tickets to watch audio function live. Now, just three days before music launch on December 19th, a micro-teaser is released and that brought much more attention. Many say that the presence of EROS entertainment as the wholesale buyer of '1 Nenokkadine' is responsible for this unique marketing plan.

Generally in Bollywood, makers allot big budgets for promotion irrespective of the star of that flick. Looks like, EROS is making their counterparts of '1 Nenokkadine' do the same thing here such that their investment of 72 crores will be in safer avenues and earn them huge profits. For now these marketing plans delivered by the B-town giant are making Mahesh hold crown, and little support from content created by Sukumar will make him win 2014 Sankranthi race.







Karthik revealed Biryani story

Already our apple pie siren Hansika is in a live-in relationship with our hero. One day when she opened her flat doors with a second key as they are locked from inside, she caught him red-handedly, romancing with a girl in the toilet. Yes, this is the story doing rounds in Chennai circles. Check this story.

Usually hero and heroine introduction scenes are quite interesting in any commercial movie and they are standalone from the actual story. But when it comes to upcoming release 'Biryani' featuring Karthi and Hansika, it will be typical. In the initial scene itself Hansika catches her boyfriend Karthi with another girl in the toilet, and that leads to breakup. That's where the movie actually starts. Sharing his thoughts about 'Biryani', actor Karthi revealed this interesting titbit to media. Quite interesting, isn't it?

From a time, Karthi is not able to deliver big hits in Tollywood, so is Hansika. December 20th release, 'Biryani' is a big test for them, and the success of this flick ensures a red carpet rolled out for them here. Let us see.

Oka Laila Kosam- chaitu, Top heroine sings for Sunil's movie, Hansika got full payment before release

Top heroine sings for Sunil's movie

It is very rare in Tollywood that a heroine who is holding the top throne will do something that is not her cup of tea. But here comes Samantha, if we have to believe reports, has agreed for crooning to a peppy tune.

Actually, Samantha agreed to sing a Telugu song for hero Sunil's upcoming movie 'Bhimavaram Bullodu'. As this hottie is quite fluent in Telugu and good at the language's pronunciation, no doubt she will come up with a good voice. Also if a star heroine like Samantha itself is singing, then it will be huge publicity for Sunil's movie. Because the makers of Bullodu will not keep quiet, and they will use Samantha's singing act's making video for virally promoting the flick for sure.

All in all, this is not just a special vocal rendition by Samantha, but will also be a video song that will help out Sunil. As our comedy hero lost his touch at box office with a flop recently, it looks like he is eyeing perfect publicity for an intense comeback.








Oka Laila Kosam- chaitu

The title of Naga Chaitanya's forthcoming film has been tentatively fixed. Going by reports, the movie is christened as Oka Laila Kosam which was a chart buster song from Akkineni Nageswara Rao's 1980's hit Ramudu Kaadu krishnudu.

Vikram Kumar Konda, who made an impressive debut with Gunde Jaari Gallanthayyinde, is wielding the megaphone for this film. Tipped to be a youthful romance, Annapurna Studios is producing it. Miss India Universe 2010 second runner up, Pooja Hegde will pair up with Chaitu. Pooja was earlier seen in Jiiva's Mask.

If all goes according to plan, the movie will go onto floors in the second week of December. Will Chaitu live up to the expectations? Will Vikram overcome Dvitheeya Vignam (second hurdle)?






Hansika got full payment before release

After acting in production houses that range from Dil Raju's SVC to Mohan Babu's LP Films, apple pie siren Hansika Motwani has shocked media with her dashing comments. Though she is not to demean any other producer, her remuneration talk simply surprised one and all.

While talking about producer Gnanavel Raja of Studio Green, who produced Karthi-Hansika's latest movie 'Biryani', our seductress revealed some interesting things. 'For the first time in my career I've received full payment of my remuneration much before the film's release', said Hansika. Indirectly, the means that no other producer has given full cheque to her before the movie hits theatres. Generally our producers pay full money to heroes before the release, so it is startling to hear that they are not following the same with heroines

Rule of tinsel towns is that producer pay all the money to all actors and technicians before release itself. Anyway, Hansika is all excited about her producer, and hope her latest release 'Biryani' will also excite her fans in the same way

Mega Family kept Mahesh’s “One” on safe side, Nayantara–Simbu new film–Hansika under tension

Mega Family kept Mahesh’s “One” on safe side!

Prince Mahesh Babu is considered as the only competitor to Mega Family in the present scenario. This star hero is all set to bang the box office with the flick “One”. As per the reports “Race Gurram” is going to compete with “One” for Pongal.

There are few rumors that “Yevadu” too will be releasing in Pongal. Few felt that Dill Raju is planning to hit Mahesh’s “One” with “Yevadu” in January. But, Dill Raju released the press note that “Yevadu” is going to hit the screens as per the schedule. This ruled out all the rumors that are appearing on “Yevadu” release.

Everyone expected that Mega Family will fight back Mahesh with a double barreled gun “Race Gurram” and “Yevadu”. But, to everyone’s surprise, Mega Family kept “Yevadu” out of the race. Now itself, “Yevadu” is moving towards loss and postponing it further may degrade its freshness. Hence, Dill Raju might have halted the thinking of postponing the flick.

Nayantara–Simbu new film–Hansika under tension?

Once upon a time lovers in South Indian film industry, Nayantara and Simbu are now teaming up once again for a new flick in Kollywood film industry. At present, spectators in Kollywood were habituated to see Simbu with Hansika in lead roles and this old combination may memorize the situation in Kollywood few years back.

After 7 long years, “Why did Nayantara accepted Simbu’s flick again?” turned out to be a hot topic. There are 2 assumptions to get to a conclusion on this aspect. One is that the love affair between Simbu and Hansika got a peak level and they are going to get married for sure. As the situation is out of her hands, Nayantara might have decided to continue the friendship with Simbu for life time.

On the other hand, the second assumption says that Nayantara got jealous of Hansika and is aspiring to get back Simbu. To memorize him their old memories, Nayantara might have decided to move close to him by accepting the flick. There are assumptions that Hansika – Simbu marriage is a trap to bring back Nayantara!

Young Tiger NTR in deep dilemma !, Hansika pleased with Siva Kartikeyan

Young Tiger NTR in deep dilemma !

NTR is vehemently trying to deliver a blockbuster hit for quite a long time.  It seems his stardom image is fading away with each flop.  After Brindivanam, his fans have been waiting atleast for an average hit from him.

No doubt, we cannot question his talent. But luck is not smiling at him and he is in low phase of his life at the moment. He is trying every ways & means to dish out a blockbuster hit right from working in big banners and successful directors to selection of right kind of roles. But, one sentiment of working in a director’s immediate next movie whose earlier movie was a blockbuster hit seems to be not working for him. He tried every successful director in the industry right from Meher Ramesh to Harish Shankar, but could not register hits except one or two.

Right now, he is in dilemma to select the director and subject for  his next movie. His guru Rajamaouli is busy with Bahubali for one year.  He kept Sukumar on hold till Nenokaddine’s outcome and the only remaining director is Puri who is also sailing in the same boat as NTR. Let us hope Tarak gets some clarity over this and will be on the right track very soon.

Hansika pleased with Siva Kartikeyan

It seems time has come to the present days heroines to enjoy the respect and concern that heroines used to get in the good olden days.  Normally our heroes used to address the heroines in a casual manner.  But Hansika experienced some thing different from his co-star Siva Kartikeyan. She said that Siva is addressing her respectfully by putting ‘ji’ after her name.

Siva clarifying his stand said that “Hansika is three years senior to me and is experienced. She did movies as a child artist too and should be respected for that”. Presently, they are doing a film in Tamil ‘ Mass Karate’.

One can recall, a few days back in the success meet of AD, Pawan too addressed the heroines of the movie with ‘garu’. Good stand by our South Heroes.
