Can't believe Srihari has gone so suddenly

Prabhudheva, who was the last to shoot with Srihari in Mumbai, can't believe his "brother" has gone so suddenly.

"I can't believe he is gone so suddenly! He is known as the Iron Man in the Telugu film industry. Srihari was one of the fittest healthiest actors I've worked with," said Prabhudheva, who shot with the late actor for "R...Rajkumar" in Mumbai earlier this week.

Srihari, 49, died at the Lilavati Hospital Wednesday.

In the midst of shooting for "R... Rajkumar" in Mumbai, Prabhudheva abruptly flew to Hyderabad Thursday morning to be with Srihari's family. He was numbed with disbelief over his colleague's death.

Refuting reports that Srihari died of cancer, Prabhudheva said: "That is not true. Because everyone close to him is too grief-stricken to react, some sections of the media think they can say anything about him.

"Srihari died following cardiac arrest. It was so sudden and unexpected! I was shooting with him two days ago for 'R... Rajkumar' in Mumbai. There was no sign of any illness. Srihari was as fit as a lion. If he can go so suddenly, any of us can go anytime," Prabhudheva said Thursday.

Harish Shankar crashed Young Tiger dreams?

Young Tiger NTR has all the energy to rewrite the Tollywood records raising the  bar for others to follow. But however hard he try, he is unable to achieve his long cherished dream. There are lot of expectations on NTR's Ramayya Vastavayya which hit the screens today. As a blessing in disguise the atmosphere also suited well as striking employees in seemandra called off their strike and Telanganaites didnot oppose the release of the film. So many expected stage is set for Young Tiger to roar as Ramayya. 

However NTR though impressed all with his young and sleek looks, beautiful dancing moves,powerful dialogues, stunning stunts, over all he failed to roar failing to reach the expectations of analysts and thus disappointing his die hard fans. Entire blame lies in Harish Shankar who belied all the expectations after elevating Pawan Kalyan's heroism to the optimum extent.

He not only dashed the hopes of fans but also crashed the dreams of Young Tiger who placed immense faith in him. Harish just followed Boyapati Srinu's violent ways and thus succeeded in eliminating comedy. To the top of it, he failed to elevate NTR's heroism by weakening the villainism. So NTR's long wait continues for another film.

Aagadu stopped

That title might irritate Mahesh's fans, but yes Aagadu muhurat shot scheduled for today has been cancelled. The cancellation comes in the wake of Real Star Srihari's sudden demise.
Aagadu launch was scheduled for October 11th and director Srinu Vaitla decided to call it off to another date.
It is known that Vaitla shares a fantastic rapport with Srihari and he was also seen breaking down seeing his buddy's deadbody yesterday. The duo have worked for some films including Dhee and King and they share more than director-actor rapport. Srinu Vaitla said: Shocked to hear the sudden demise of Srihari garu...a very good friend and a kind human being..my deepest condolences to his family...R.I.P.
On the other hand Mahesh too acted with the Real Star in some films so the two have decided to cancel muhurtam shot of their new film Aagadu as mark of respects to the departed soul!

It is learnt that Aagadu will be shot in one long schedule of 120 days with no foreign trips too! Heroine for the movie hasnt been decided yet but Thaman will render music for the movie!

Rajamouli Wraps Up 'Baahubali' In Advance

Tollywood Ace director Rajamouli is known as master of perfection and quality. But the other side of this is that he can't finish things on time. In Hollywood, when quality meets perfections, delays happen very rare, but here in our film industry they happen always. However Rajamouli has created a record now.

Generally Rajamouli makes sure that he gets more than enough time to finish particular scene and sequence. Even this time, he planned a mere five days to wrap up particular sentimental scene of his upcoming Tollywood Movie  'Baahubali'. Actually the scene features all the lead cast including hunk heroes Prabhas, Rana and beautiful lady Anushka. Though Rajamouli thought of finishing it in five days, he wrapped it just in 3 days. Even the director exclaimed for this happening and is all on excitement for finishing his shoot way ahead of the schedule. Many times earlier Rajamouli wished that he should work under Puri Jagan to make movies in record number of days.

Anyway, insiders say that meticulous planning and well made pre-production is helping Baahubali shoot to be finished way before its time

Pranitha To Pair Up With Power Star For GS-2

 

Tollywood Actress Pranitha who recently acted as second heroine of Attarintiki Daredi has got the offer of her life time. She is reportedly chosen as the female lead in Pawan Kalyan's upcoming Tollywood Movie, Gabbar Singh-2. The actress scored full marks for her little role in Attarintiki Daredi and it prompted Pawan Kalyan to chose her for Gabbar Singh-2.

The unit is in search of a girl for Pawan Kalyan for a long time and they have even negotiated with few Bollywood girls. But they could not finalize on one. Shruti Hassan was in similar kind of situation like Pranita before Gabbar Singh and her fate totally changed after its release. Pranita will expect the same to happen after Gabbar Singh-2. Trivikram Srinivas will be penning dialogues for this movie. Racha fame Sampath Nandi will be wielding megaphone for this movie. Jaynan Vincent will be cranking the camera. Devi Sri Prasad will score the music.

Oct 11th : World Pawanism Day!

Pawan mania is currently at the peaks, it looks like. Then what, after Attarintiki Daredi became a blockbuster hit at the Tollywood box office Pawan's fans seem to be in ecstatic state and in the same ecstasy state they came up with this announcement of celebrating Pawanism - to dedicate a day to celebrate the star.

Ok, so Pawan's fans have decided to celebrate world Pawanism day on October 11th. On this day his fans will be blowing the Pawan trumpet to rest of the world. Why October 11th? That was the day when Pawan Kalyan's first movie Akkada Abbai Ikkada Ammayi was released on this day in 1996 which will be the Pawanism day.

With many religions already Pawanism takes a grand entry with fans billing it as more than religion. And with many days such as Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Women's Day being celebrated, we will henceforth see Pawanism day too. All said why have a day instead floating a party would be better idea right?

If not to run a charitable organization that caters to rendering service to fans. Craze to an extent sounds good, but this Pawanism has gone a bit overboard and looks a waste of time and money, complain some from Mega camp. We need to wait and see what World Pawanism Day will be like!

Chiru to Grace AD Occasion!

pawan kalyan is proving not only as a best replacement to the position of Chiranjeevi in Telugu cinema but growing even bigger than Mega Star. The way pawan kalyan Mania is doing wonders at Box Office for ‘Atharintiki Daaredi’ goes on to show how pawan kalyan’s craze and charisma is growing to new highs with each super hit film. Of course, it forms the basic duty of entire ‘AD’ team to thank Fans and public for re-writing the top records in spite of first half being leaked much before release.    

As per official reports, for the first time Pawan is participating in a post release promotional event of his film and a huge success meet is arranged for this Sunday. Some sources in film circles are expecting the presence of Chiranjeevi at this occasion to thank Fans at a much needed time. Anyways, we have to wait till Sunday to know on what Pawan will say.

Big Challenge Ahead for NTR

Now that Ramcharan has broke the ice of Tollywood lean patch by arranging for release of ‘Toofan,’ the way was almost kept clear for Pawan Kalyan because Telugu people were really kind hearted to bless ‘Atharintiki Daaredi’ as a record blockbuster in spite of piracy link uploaded on net much before its release date. The burden of continuing the winning momentum at BO is now shouldered upon junior ntr as his ‘Ramayya Vastavayya’ is the next big movie in the fray.

Fortunately, there is a lot of positive buzz on Tarak’s movie because of the combinational significance in NTR-Harish Shankar-Dil Raju. Already audio is declared a chartbuster and distributors, exhibitors are sparing huge amounts to bag the area wise rights. So, there is a big challenge waiting for Young Tiger for this Dasara.

Dasari Public Comment on AD!

Veteran Dasari Narayana Rao is highly respected personality in Telugu film circles. He made it a good habit and custom to encourage good films in Tollywood. Every time when there is a trend setting or BO shaking movie in market, Dasari gets himself for a special screening of the film and openly praises it. We have seen such instances plenty of times in recent past which shows his respect for good and creative work.

Producer BVSN Prasad has also arranged a special show of ‘atharintiki daaredi’ for Dasari Narayana Rao and the veteran was thrilled by magic in this film. Although there is no official word from Dasari to media, yet we are reported that he lauded the performance of Pawan Kalyan in climax and also specially appreciated the directional skills of Trivikram. An official public comment before media would have done more good for the movie
