HIGHEST COLLECTED INDIAN MOVIE OF 2009- Magadheera

Main reasons for Magadheera phenomenal collections. The trade pundits are attributing the following factors.
1. Unanimous positive talk: Star movies have the stamina of becoming hits with average content. And when the content is good, the sky is limit.
2. Rajamouli’s direction: Rajamouli is a brand-name among the movie lovers of popular entertainment. His earlier film Yamadonga created records in many areas too.
3. Ram Charan Teja: Ram Charan Teja inherited the humongous fan base of Chiranjeevi and made all Chiranjeevi’s fans proud with superb performance in Magadheera.
4. Grand production values: May be 5% of entire AP’s population is exposed to films
like 300, Lord of the Rings, Gladiator, Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon, Hero or Brave Heart. For the remaining 95% of the Telugu movie lovers the flashback episode is a never-before experience. The grand production values and rich look of the movie is becoming the reason for movie lovers to watch Magadheera again and again.
5. Chiranjeevi cinema craze: Chiranjeevi might have got a setback in political arena. But the craze and his following among movie lovers hasn’t diminished a bit. And Magadheera’s openings are a testament to it.
6. No good film in last six months: No good film in Telugu with nice production values was released after Arundhati film. Hence Telugu movie lovers are desperate to watch a good movie. Magadheera satisfied their hunger.
Magadheera has crossed 80% of Telugu film records by now and is going to finish the task and become the unanimous industry hit in a week or two. In the annals of Telugu cinema, Magadheera is going to be a mile stone and reference point for record-breaking industry hit.

Ram Charan wished the team all the best. “I know Sandeep for a long time. When I came to know that he went for Los Angeles for film studies, I thought he might settle there. Thankfully, he is back to here and making debut in Telugu as director. I am sure he would live up to the expectations he carries as his father Gunnam Gangaraju made some of the memorable films. Varun Sandesh is a good friend and it is nice to see him in a mass oriented role for the first time,” Charan said.

Puri informed that the film’s title Kurradu was his original choice for his film with Ram Charan Tej. “I wanted to put it as Kurradu with the tagline of Low Class. But we came up with the name Chirutha later. I still like this title Kurradu. I am sure this film would succeed in big way,” Puri said.

Rajamouli said: “Kurralloyi Kurraloyi is one of my all time favorite songs. I liked this new version in this film also this other melody played here is also good. I wish music director Achchu all the best. He has given good music in his first film.”

The film’s pooja was held two months back but the regular shoot begins from September 3rd week.

Earlier, Chota K Naidu was to film the movie but as Chota is busy with NTR-Vinayak’s film, Shyam K Naidu has been roped in. Rajamouli generally prefers his father Vijayendra Prasad’s script but this time he has taken the script from Kaanchi who also associated with Vijayendra Prasad for a long time. The film’s basic idea belongs to Mullapudi Vara but Kaanchi does the complete script.

Rajamouli departs from his usual heavy-emotional mass entertainers and is focusing on hilarious comedy this time. Maryada Ramanna promises to be an hilarious entertainer.

Slumdog kids Hollywood journey again

Like silver lining, the news of another Hollywood project to Azhar Ismail’s family came as a blessing. The child actor of ‘Slumdog Millionaire (SM)’ Azhar Ismail had lost his father recently, owing to tuberculosis.

Now the kid has been approached by the makers of an international movie, titled 'Lord Owen's Lady'. Along with Azhar, his SM co-star, Rubina Ali too has been signed on. The film is based on a Welsh nobleman who falls in love with an Indian girl and sources say that well-known actor Sir Anthony Hopkins would be a part of this one. The movie is going to be shot in Wales and India.

On learning about his father’s demise, Martin Pennell the Executive Producer conveyed his condolence to Azhar and hoped this incident wouldn’t mar the child’s Hollywood career.

Mahatma trailer launched

Srikanth’s 100th film, Mahatma, under Krishna Vamsi’s direction is getting ready for release. The film is being produced by CR Manohar under Golden Lion Films banner. The theatrical trailer was launched on Monday, the September 7th at Film Nagar Cultural Centre, Hyderabad. Srikanth, Krishna Vamsi, producer CR Manohar, Paruchuri Brothers, etc., were a few prominent persons in the event.

Addressing the gathering Srikanth said, “When I approached Krishna Vamsi to direct my 100th film, he said that he would definitely do but we have to wait for a good story. Paruchuri Brothers penned script for my 1st film and now again for my 100th film too. Today, I am very happy that my 100th film is being made with a strong subject and the title, ‘Mahatma’. Now to talk about the producer of this film, he is a politician as well as my good friend. The rapport between us has led to a quality film and I’m very confident about the film’s success”.

Krishna Vamsi while speaking, “I always direct a film with a purpose and for my self-satisfaction. I’ve directed 16 films so far, but this is the first time I’ve prepared a script for a hero with the support from Parachuri Brothers. Another important thing to be noted is that I got full support from the producer as well. That is one reason the film’s output is very good. We are planning to release the audio on September 19 and the film on October 2nd”.

Paruchuri Venkateswara Rao said, “When Krishna Vamsi told the storyline I was a little worried that it would turn into a documentary film. But this turned out to be an excellent film with violent hero turning into a non-violent person. This is the 1st time we have penned script for Krishna Vamsi’s film although we have acted in his films in the past. Like directors K Raghavendra Rao, B Gopal and Kodandarami Reddy, Krishna Vamsi too extracted from us to the maximum extent. ‘Mahatma’ will be a landmark in Srikanth’s career so as ‘Alluri Seetaramaraju’ for superstar Krishna, ‘Naa Desam’ for Late NTR and ‘Tagore’ for Chiranjeevi. We have penned script for Srikanth’s 1st film and now we got the opportunity in his 100th film. There is one lengthy dialogue on Mahatma Gandhiji which I am very sure will become popular and I am very confident about the film’s success too”.

“I am very happy to produce a film in Srikanth and Krishna Vamsi combination. I hope that this 100th film of Srikanth will run for 100 days successfully”, expressed producer CR Manohar.
