Kona: Nani Drank a Full Bottle Of Liquor! ?

Last evening, a grand success meet of Natural Star Nani's latest release 'Ninnu Kori' was held in Vijayawada. Speaking at the function, film's screenplay writer and co-producer Kona Venkat has made an interesting revelation about how Nani drank a full bottle of liquor to bring authenticity to a particular scene.

'Ninnu Kori' has plenty of emotional scenes but if asked to pick one, many would pick the scene where Nani gets drunk and talks about girls' choices in front of Aadi and Nivetha Thomas. Nani's realistic performance in this scene has been praised unilaterally.

Talking about this particular scene, 'To bring naturality to that scene, Nani drank a full bottle. We were a bit worried but he made the scene look so realistic that it became a highlight of the film. Then I understood why he is accredited with 'Natural Star' title,' said Kona.

Kona Venkat's revelation made out of sheer excitement and also to praise Nani's commitment and acting prowess, has now become a hot topic with movie buffs discussing the actor's drinking habits. 'How can someone drink a full bottle without being a pro in drinking?' is the doubt raised by many on social media.

Nani Once Again?, In 'Krishnarjuna Yuddham'

Buoyed by the success of 'Ninnu Kori', Natural Star Nani has announced two new projects, #Nani20 and #Nani21.

#Nani21 is titled 'Krishnarjuna Yuddham'. The actor will once again be seen playing dual roles in this film after last year's hit film 'Gentleman'. Merlapaka Gandhi of 'Venkatadri Express' and 'Express Raja' fame will direct it. 'Dhruva' fame Hip Hop Tamizha will score music.

The team looks very promising. The interesting title and the fact that Nani is essaying dual roles, make this project even more exciting to look forward to. Film will release next year.

#Nani20 is titled MCA (Middle Class Abbayi), a Dil Raju production venture. 'Oh My Friend' fame Sriram Venu is directing this film which is currently on floors. This is the second collaboration of Nani and Dil Raju after 'Nenu Local'. Sai Pallavi is the leading lady, and Devi Sri Prasad is the music composer. 

Nani Apologizes to Mass Movie Lovers!

Nani’s latest release, Ninnu Kori, is having a dream run in the twin Telugu states and in overseas. The film’s team, including Nivetha Thomas, Aadhi, Kona Venkat and Shiva Nirvana, is promoting the film through media interviews.

In a latest TV interview, Nani apologized to audiences hailing from B, C centres. Explaining the reason, Nani said that he used to tell everyone that Ninnu Kori is a class film and that it may not be liked by mass movie lovers.

The Natural Star went on to say that the film’s collections from B, C centres have proved him wrong. He then apologized on behalf of the entire film industry which believes that mass audiences don’t appreciate class movies.

After "EeGa" It's "Fish" For Nani!

Are we going to see a 'Fish' playing the central character for the first ever time in a mainstream Telugu film? 

A leading national daily has reported that Natural Star Nani, who acted in ace director Rajamouli's 'Eega', a film having a housefly as the central character, is making a film with 'fish' in lead role. The report further added that this film will be Nani's maiden production venture, and shooting has already commenced, without anyone noticing.
Prashant Sharma is making his directorial debut with this movie. Reportedly, when he approached Nani, the 'Eega' actor got so impressed with the script having a fish as the central character that he decided to produce the film himself. The shooting has already begun in a specially designed set in Hyderabad.

There is no clarity if Nani will act in the film or not, but this first-of-its-kind project will surely encourage Telugu filmmakers to invest in many more experimental films. After Rajamouli's 'Eega', director Ravi Babu has made a film, 'Adhigo' with a piglet in lead role. This film is yet to be released.

Raja Mouli Launched Invalid Movie Ticket!

Last night, director giant Rajamouli has stunned everyone with his gracious presence at "Ninnu Kori" pre-release event. For the love he has for hero Nani, the Baahubalian director graced the occasion as a chief guest. 

Unlike launching an audio CD, the makers used their creativity to launch the First Day first show ticket for the movie. As you could notice in the picture, Rajamouli launched the larger-than-life size ticket of 8:45 AM show for Prasad's Imax, Hyderabad. There maybe lots of creativity but this ticket is for sure invalid. Wonder why?

Nani and co have politely forgotten the GST thing and the ticket prices are going to be hiked to Rs 200 by the time Ninnu Kori hits cinemas. Now you could notice that the ticket launched by Rajamouli costs only 150 rupees, which is why cinema lovers are joking that it is invalid. 

"Rich production values, Nani's confidence that he could make us laugh with a joke and make us cry with an emotion are the assets of Ninnu Kori trailer. Though I didn't find anything new in the trailer, it is somehow intriguing. I wish producer Danayya and distributors get huge profits" said Rajamouli, on this occasion.

Congratulations Nani! Nani blessed with a Baby Boy

Nani, who's one of the emerging stars in Telugu film Industry, cannot stop beaming with joy as the actor has become a proud father. Reportedly, Nani and wife Anjana Yelavarthy are blessed with a baby boy this morning - on the auspicious Udagi day.

After scoring back to back hits with Oohalu Gusagusalade and Jyo Achyutananda, Srinivas Avasarala is planning to make his third film with Nani.

Nani About Love Letters!

Comprising of fascinating set of poems to describe charm and character of a girl- is a common thing in boys handwritten love letters to their girlfriends in yesteryear era. Now, its e-mails and online chatting time. No one is using love letters to express their love or update something to their dear ones in the internet era.

However, in Nani's upcoming film Majnu, protagonist pens love letters to his lady love. Nani reasons for this saying, "Yes, we could hardly see love letters in these days. Even, in my real life, I used e-mails and other. Since Majnu's story is set in the backdrop of Bhimavaram, we used love letters. It's a genuine love story."

Although we still feel silly, since the youth of Bhimavaram are also using internet, not love letters. But, director Virinchi Varma might have other reasons for using love letters in his film.

We get a doubt that is Nani a love failure in his real life, as the film's story is of a love failure. The Natural star clarifies on it saying he was not a love failure and doesn't want any youngster to spoil their life becoming a Majnu. "I want to change meaning of Majnu with this film," affirms Nani.

Majnu is done with censor and the movie was received 'U/A' certificate from the censor sleuths. The movie is all set for release on 23rd of this month. 

Tollywood Super Star is Singing For Nani's Nenu Local?

Heroes singing is not anything new these days. Many of Tamil heroes even croon for other heroes. We have already seen Simbu singing for Manoj, Sai Dharam and NTR in Telugu. Even Dhanush sang the title song of Sai Dharam's 'Thikka'. But, NTR is the only hero in Tollywood to lend his voice for other heroes.

After crooning for chartbuster songs like 'Chari', 'Raakasi', 'I Wanna Follow you' and others, he sang a song in Kannada too titled 'Gelaya' in Kannada star Puneeth Rajkumar's 'Chakravyuha'. Now, reports suggest that NTR once again will be singing for Nani's film 'Nenu Local'. Devi Sri Prasad is the music composer for Nani's film. As NTR shares a great rapport with DSP, NTR accepted to croon for 'Nenu Local'.

So, let us wait for another chartbuster song for DSP-NTR combo.

Trailer Review: Nani's Majnu

The theatrical trailer of Nani's Majnu was released during the audio launch event. Much alike the teaser, even the crisply cut trailer is full of quirky fun and engaging emotional drama.

Adding to the earlier reports going by the trailer, one gets a feeling that Nani will be seen as an Assistant Director to SS Rajamouli on Baahubali. The trailer starts off with Rajamouli's shot while Nani is seen riding the Bhallaladeva chariot.

Majnu seems to be a promisingly fun yet intense triangular romantic confusion of Nani, who is caught between his love for the film's two heroines Anu Emmanuel and Priya Shri.

The makers were smart enough to cut the trailer without revealing any hint about the film's plot. And watch out for Nani's prophecy about love - "Love is not Rasam, it's a chutney". Majnu releases on September 16th. 

Flash!! Flash!! Nani's MAjnu Theatrical Trailer released

Jyo Achyutananda Climax Revealed?

Natural star Nani and director Srinivas Avasarala are very good friends, ever since they were working together in films as assistant directors in their early stages of career. 

While Nani become a minimum guaranteed hero in Tollywood, Avasarala made his mark with maiden directorial venture Oohalu Gusagusa Lade is now waiting for release of Jyo Achyutananda gracing theaters on September 8th.

It is heard that, Nani has essayed an important cameo role in Jyo Achyutananda. Nani comes in climax and story will take new turn which is said to be major highlight of the film. 

Apparently, actress Regina Cassandra picks Nani over the two brothers Nara Rohit and Naga Shourya who deeply and madly love her for ages.

That means, Nani's is not just another cameo, but a game changer in Jyo Achyutananda. In fact, Nani's presence will definitely help hiking expectations on the film.

Already trailer has generated buzz and songs were received well by music lovers. Will Srinivas Avasarala overcome 'Dwitiya Vignam' with Jyo Achyutananda? 

Nani is getting into the big league?

Probably, Nani is the only hero these days to score 4 hits in a row within one and half year. It all started with 'Evade Subramanyam' and there was no looking back for Nani from then. His movies started to get amazing response in overseas as well.

His 'Bhale Bhale Mogadivoy' gained 1.5 million overseas. His last two films 'Krishnagaadi Veera Premagaadha' and 'Gentleman' too collected nearly one million each. As Nani's films offer variety compared to other heroes, his films started to get good hype. His upcoming flick 'Majnu' teaser got tremendous response and reports say that America rights have been sold for nearly 3 crores. As there is no question of getting losses, the distributors are interested in investing more money on Nani's films.

On the other hand, Nani is slowly getting into the big league. His films are collecting a minimum of 20 crores these days and he is working under big producers like Dil Raju and others off late. 

Hilarious Climax for Nani!

Even though the film's shooting began only during the release of his recent release, Gentleman, Nani's Majnu has surprised everyone by releasing the film's first look poster and the visual teaser at a jet speed.

Not stopping here, the makers went on to state that Majnu will make it to the theaters on September 17, ensuring Nani's third release of this year. The teaser has generated a huge positive buzz for the film.

Now, in a surprising twist, young hero Raj Tarun is said to be essaying a special cameo in Majnu towards the film's climax. Apparently, Raj Tarun's role will be a hilarious one and will completely change the proceedings towards the film's climax.

The fact that Raj Tarun was the lead hero in Majnu's director Virinchi Varma's debut film Uyyala Jampala has pulled off this cameo coup for Majnu. In Majnu, Nani will be seen as a young man nurturing a broken heart due to love failure. 

Teaser Talk: Nani'a Majnu creates more Curiosity!

The teaser of Nani's forthcoming romantic entertainer, Majnu, was released yesterday. The teaser is quite simple but manages to excite the audiences thanks to the quirky entertainment factor.

With a classic title of Nagarjuna's heartbreaking classic love story, Majnu, the film hints at a comic and light-hearted story of a 'Majnu' played by Nani, who seems to be trying hard to win a beautiful yet stone-hearted girl, played by Malayali girl Anu Emmanuel.

This simple and sweet teaser stands out with the way the humour was created by showing Nani asking for Ilayaraja's sad songs CD and listening to the evergreen classic love failure song, Prema Ledani from Karthik's Abhinandana. And Nani riding Baahubali Bhallaladeva's chariot in the end makes things even more curious.
