Can Telugu Film Industry recover???

With strikes and hartals, both from the workers inside and the forces outside, Telugu Film Industry is halting its work very often these days. Apart from this, somersaulting of Big-budgeted and big heroes movies at the Box Office is also on a rise. Can Telugu Film Industry recover from all these blows, is the question now! All this work halting from insiders is directly related to increasing daily wages and remunerations of the 24 crafts people involved in movie making. However, with no good profits in producers pockets, their expectations are watered always. For this, a decent hit is needed at the Box Office. High profile flicks like 'Parama Veera Chakra' and 'Shakti' tumbled in their initial weeks to create deficit at the starting of 2011. To worsen this bad situation, Pawan Kalyan's 'Teen Maar' is losing collections at B&C centres despite of positive talk. Prabhas' 'Mr.Perfect' also looks dull at some parts and all those ingredients in it are not able to predict a steady performance of it. With no money minting flicks in the scenario, the exhibitors and distributors are getting pushed into worst situations. Looks like Telugu Industry is placing itself into a no-recovery situation with no good flicks. It's time for Telugu directors and writers, to tighten their shoe strings for giving a ray of hope in this dampening situation. Hope at least anyone among '100% Love', 'Nenu Naa Rakhsasi' or 'Badrinath' bails TFI out of the crisis.

Nag's 'English Title' Comedy!!!

'English Titles' have become the part of Telugu Industry now, with ace directors like Puri and Sekhar Kammula opting for them. Though, 'Telugu Adhikara Basha Sangam' kinds of people are strictly objecting this trend, directors are not at all showing interest to quit. However, hero Nagarjuna's strong comments on the same issue are making laughs in Tinsel town. Nag is said to be very angry with director Sukumar for choosing the title '100% Love' for his son Naga Chaitanya's upcoming flick. This anger's result is said to be the disappearance of Naga Chaitanya at the audio function. Few sources stated that Nagarjuna is also angry with the movie's team for not approaching him in finalizing the title. What looks like a big joke is that Nagarjuna's recent flicks that made him reach places are named in English only. 'Mass' and 'King' are the two movies that positioned Nag in new heights. Making hulchul on 'English Titles', especially by Nag like big-league heroes is real 'comedy'.

Inside Talk: 'Mr Perfect', 'NNR' And '100% Love'

Inside talks are quite crucial for any film and it gets more significance when the film is of a big star and a big banner. Theoretically, the inside talk stands at 90% accuracy and so, many within the cine circuit and outside wait for it. Here is a look at three promising ventures in Tollywood.

Mr Perfect – Rumor has it that this is a recycled version of ‘Orange’, if that is true then the film is a goner. The bright side is, the audio is a hit and the number ‘Rao Gari Abbai…’ is a chartbuster, the presence of Prabhas, Kajal, Taapsee is another plus point. So, if it is any different from the rumor then it will have good chances at the box office.

Nenu Naa Rakshasi- This is coming up with an unusual flavor. Inside talk reveals that all characters in the film will have negative shades except one person. This is a film noir genre which has been adopted by director Puri Jagannadh and we have seen that happening in Hollywood, for eg: The Italian Job, The Heist etc are few examples. This is more of an experiment in Telugu circuit so let us see how this goes.

100% Love – Unfortunately, the inside talk has been negative and it is rumored that the cinema has not come that well. The audio is average as per overall listener response. After watching Naga Chaitanya in Ye Maya Chesave, he will be seen with that as benchmark which might become a minus. The plus is, it has Tamannah, good team of technicians but given director Sukumar’s complicated thought process, it remains to be seen how the audience will receive it.

Suicide Stampede annoys '100% Love'

Ultimately Sukumar-Naga Chaitanya's upcoming flick '100% Love' is the most talked creative caper of this summer film fest. However, rather than enjoying those sweet comments about the film, the makers are quite annoyed with the 'Suicide-Stampede'. Another perfectionist in the Tinsel town, Puri Jagannadh is shaking Tollywood now, with the trailers of his upcoming flick 'Nenu Naa Rakshasi'. The concept of 'Suicide', the presence of macho-man Rana as a serial killer and sexy hour-glass beauty Ileana as a 'failed lover' in NNR's promotional material are shocking the audience. As per trade sources, if NNR rocks the BO with its different concept, the collections of '100% Love' will also get affected. Though Sukumar's flicks look like 'Slow Poison', Puri films are mostly 'instant winners'. Puri has also the history of shaking Tollywood with his suicide oriented film 'Itlu Sravani Subbrahmanyam'. One has to wait till the release of these two flicks to find out the real winner!

'Power Failure' in Creative Director's brain!

Much noted for his creativity even in cute little things, director Sukumar is touted to be the best of creative geniuses in Telugu Film Industry. But, most of his films haven't worked out at the BO very well, other than 'Arya'. Now the fever seems to be haunting his latest flick too. Sukumar is soon coming up with the flick '100% Love' that has Naga Chaitanya and Tamanna in the lead, which is produced by Allu Aravind on Geetha Arts banner. However, the audio of the film that released today looked like a big disappointment in the first shot. Many music lovers are feeling that Sukumar’s taste and Devi Sri Prasad's magic are missing from the album. Sukumar is always popular for his item numbers like 'Aah Antey Amalapuram' and 'Ringa Ringa' and the one in '100% Love' is just like a passing cloud but not a cool breeze. As per industry talks, there is power failure in our creative director's brain for giving good content due to Allu Aravind's extensive control on the project. Insiders revealed that the visualization part of the movie too looks dull unlike its publicity posters. All these negative talks seem to be worrying young hero Naga Chaitanya a lot.

100% Free! Tamanna's hot lip-kiss

We are not joking! Tamanna's hot lip-kiss comes free for Naga Chaitanya in their upcoming flick '100% Love'. Generally, heroines demand lot of bucks once they rose to fame and some extra bucks for donning bikini and lip licking kind of stuff. But, Tamanna has done everything for free. Super brained mega producer of Telugu Cinema Industry, Allu Aravind seems to be the man behind this mega-offer of Tamanna. Actually, the milky-white beauty is not willing for such acts, but that 'agreement' forced her to do this entire romantic stuff for free. It is already known that Allu Aravind has signed a deal with Tamanna after her first flick 'Sri' that has Manchu Manoj in the lead. The agreement is said to be consisting of all those 'loop holes' that can exploit and explore sensuous Tamanna to the max. As part of it, the passionate Lip-Kiss was done for free without any hiked remuneration is the talk of Film Nagar now. Already, Tamanna was found crying for the under pay she is getting paid and a lip-kiss act is of course a hammer's stroke on her head.

Nagarjuna disappointed with '100% Love'

Insiders are saying that hero Akkineni Nagarjuna is quite disappointed with the outcome of Naga Chaitanya's upcoming flick '100% Love'. Director Sukumar, who carved a niche for himself with the kind of creative angles he deals with is said to be the reason.

Apparently, Nag wants to launch Naga Chaitanya in such a way that he gets much applause like Jr NTR and Ram Charan. However, his debut flick 'Josh' was unable to project the deserved mass hero image to Chaitu, while 'Ye Maya Chesave' made him a lover-boy of Telugu Cinema. Nag's worry is that many lover boys like Uday Kiran, Tarun and Siddharth has no big deals in their career while heroes with mass-centric status are rocking in the tinsel town. Sukumar projected Chaitu one more time as a lover-boy with slight mass feel, is what it appears from 100% Love's teasers. Nagarjuna seems to be desperately looking for a 'Shiva' kind of stuff in Chaitu's life.

Anchor Suma's Hot 'S' in demand

While the old bandwagon of anchors like Udaya Bhanu, Jhansi and Shilpa Chakravarthy are nearing extinction with some limited shows, their companion is rocking. Being an yesteryear anchor, Suma never let the craze for her go down before creating huge demand for her 'S'. The recent audio release functions of Pawan Kalyan's 'Teen Maar' and Jr NTR's 'Shakti' have witnessed the oratory skills of this aged anchor a lot. The demand for her 'speeches' has increased very high as she modulates her flattery language at ease, depending on the hero she is speaking about. The kind of poetic words she used to represent Jr NTR and the sort of simple yet wonderful dialogues she spoke for Pawan Kalyan are highly appreciated. It is heard that Suma is being roped in for the audio release function of Naga Chaitanya's '100% Love' and Rana's 'Nenu Naa Rakshasi' too. However, keeping the demand for her 'speeches' in view, she has doubled her pay, as per Film Nagar sources.
