Do Kapus and Kammas hate Prabhas 'Raju'? !!

These days media is trying to bring out sensational angle in each and every aspect. If a film becomes flop media thrashes the hero and if it becomes a hit it tries to throw mud at others. Recent hit Mirchi has been doing well at the box office with support from all the sections of audience. However, some sections of media is trying to create caster controversies using Mirchi's success.

As per them Prabhas's increasing stardom is not going down well with Kapus and Kammas, who have been dominating Telugu film industry from so long. Therefore media people belonging to Kapu and Kamma communities are spreading false rumors about Prabhas stamina, is what they allege. How ridiculous? Do really people watch films keeping the hero's caste in mind? Did Mirchi collect 33 crore rupees in two weeks with two communities boycotting it? If so should we say Mirchi is Raju's hit and Naayak is Kapu's hit and SVSC is Kamma hit? Where do these stupid logics come from?

This is just a baseless allegation from few media circles who love to churn out masala items for their survival. Of course heroes do get support from people belonging to their community. But a film's success is beyond these caste equations and a hero's range can neither be suppressed nor glorified from a section of media. All depends in the numbers and crowd pulling abilities of that respective hero.

Director Playing football with Prabhas !!

S S Rajamouli happens to be a superstar director, but even he tends to draw inspiration from other blockbusters. That happened many a times and here is the latest report about it.

Obviously, S S Rajamouli's 'Sye' is an true inspiration from Amir Khan and Ashutosh Gowariker's 'Lagaan' movie. In that superhit Hindi flick, they play cricket to settle the tax issue, while in 'Sye' they play rugby to settle playground issue. Wide discussions are happening in Film Nagar now that Rajamouli is gearing ahead to draw inspiration from another hindi flick now. It happens to be blockbuster movie 'Chak De' that highlights the need to stay united for Indians. However the central theme of this hair rising flick is Hockey game, while Rajamouli has chosen Foot Ball, say sources.

Most surprising thing is that this 'foot ball film' happens to be the film he is going to make with Prabhas, but not a period flick as in publicity. Maybe it is for this reason Prabhas is heard practising foot ball from a couple of weeks to get the moves and kicks right. Let us wait for some official news.

Prabhas and Rana as Hero and Villain? !!

They are the two biggest hunks in Telugu film industry. While one is already a star hero, the other one just proved his acting mettle but has to become a successful star hero. What if they have to clash with each other?

Hunk hero Prabhas is trying all possible ways to become the numero-uno hero of Tollywood. Apart from 'Mirchi', he is depending on Rajamouli's movie for this. There is a gossip doing rounds in Film Nagar that another hunk Rana Daggubati is playing villain to Prabhas in Rajamouli's flick. Some say that Rana is doing a key role but not acting as a villain in that period-movie. After watching the superb performance of Rana in 'Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum', Rajamouli has taken a decision to cast him, says another film lover. But our director is yet to say a word about this.

If Prabhas and Rana act in a film, then that is going to be another big talk like 'Seethamma Vaakitlo...' where Mahesh and Venky are sharing screen space. Looks like Tollywood will surely travel towards multi-starrers in the coming times.

Time and again, sentiments play a pivotal role in deciding the acts and actions of many heroes and their films. Right now, the big hero on the block to endorse such sentiments if hunk hero Prabhas.

Prabhas is gearing up to hit audiences with his next masala family entertainer 'Mirchi' very soon. But the audio of the film is not going to make it to stores in 2012, but will be a New Year gift. On 5th January, Devi Sri Prasad's super tunes will hit Tollywood. Big surprise is the venue Prabhas has selected to launch the audio of 'Mirchi' at Ramanaidu Studios Nanakramguda. Earlier two biggies Nayak and SVSC got their audios launched at the same venue back to back. Looking at the super success of those two albums irrespective of criticism, our hunk hero might have selected the same venue. Sentiment returns!

Spicy seductress Anushka and Bengali bomb-shell Richa Gangopadhyay are playing leads alongside Prabhas, while writer Koratala Shiva is turning director with this flick. Fans of our hero are hoping that 'Mirchi' will erase the bad memories given by 'Rebel'. Look forward for it!

With the social networking revolution, Copy Cats are having a tough time as they could no more cheat the audience by projecting some else's good work as their sole creation.

However, the intelligence of the film lovers is being tested at times wherein the content of two films which resembles the same was unveiled without much time gap. Here the case is something different as it's all about who copied whom!

Who are the Copy Cats among them?

While both the films were earlier scheduled for Dec 21st release, Mirchi postponed a couple of times to take advantage of a solo release on February 8th. The chemistry shared by the two lovely lead pairs is said to be USP of their films. Let's wait for Box Office fate!

Bollywood Actors In Rajamouli-Prabhas Film !!

The tough taskmaster S S Rajamouli has been riding high with the success of his recent release 'Eega' and though it didn't work commercially in Bollywood he got enough fame and name in Mumbai. Now, it is heard that his next project will have a good presence of Bollywood actors.

According to sources, Rajamouli is planning a trilingual with young rebel star Prabhas and this would be made in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil. In that process, he wants to rope in Bollywood actors, as per sources. Buzz is that there will be one top league Bollywood heroine and a senior Bollywood actress.

News is that unlike the regular format of bilingual films, Rajamouli is planning to reshoot the entire Hindi version with Prabhas and the Bollywood cast just like the maverick Gautham Menon. If this happens then it will indeed be a perfect debut for Prabhas and a good break for Bollywood actors too.

Akshay And Prabhas Should Stop This !!

One is hunk hero of Tollywood and other one is aged superstar of B-town. Both are said to be doing some common things now, which are looking a bit 'extra' though they may call them as masala elements for fans.

When Prabhas kicks the bonnet of a car with his leg, the front two wheels of the car just bolt out and fly away from their position. And, if Akshay Kumar thumps the jeep of goons with his leg, all those goons just scatter away from the vehicle. Prabhas is doing that stunt for 'Mirchi', while Akshay is performing it for his forthcoming 'Khiladi 786'. Both these stunts look unreal and even fans of our star-heroes are not accepting them. Hitting 100 goons in a style is okay, but these impossible things are somewhat unacceptable these days. So, what our heroes will say about this is something we need to wait for.

On the other hand, Prabhas' Mirchi is said to be moving away from Sankranthi race, as two big flicks including Charan's Naayak and Mahesh-Venky's Seethamma Vaakitlo are hitting the marquee.

Star Heroes And Second-Time Ideas !!

In desperation to give continuous hits, our star heroes are trying their hand at few sentiments. Mostly, they are applying this phenomenon when selecting heroines and here is it.

Tollywood is going to witness a heap of star-flicks in early 2013 and all of them have one thing in common. Most of our star-heroes want to repeat the magic of their previous blockbuster's heroine. Superstar Mahesh paired with sensuous Samantha for 'Seethamma Vaakitlo', after delivering blockbuster 'Dookudu'. Megapower Star Ramcharan opted for big-eyed Kajal for 'Naayak' keeping 'Magadheera' magic in mind. Young tiger Jr NTR is shaking legs with Kajal for his 'Baadshah' as he knows the impression this lady has given in 'Brindavanam'. Last but not least, Naga Chaitanya is coming once again with his Jessie 'Samantha' for 'Auto Nagar Surya'. We have to see how the second-time pairing idea of our star-heroes really weaves surprise for them at Box Office.

Apart from these star heroes, Nagarjuna is paired with Nayantara (Love Story), Prabhas with Anushka (Mirchi). These heroines have earlier delivered only average movies for them. Rather saying a sentiment, we can call this as scarcity of heroines, feels a critic.

Tollywood Missing No.1 Hero !!

From the moment Megastar Chiranjeevi has left tinsel town, there is no question of top-chair in Tollywood, as none of the star-heroes are fit for occupying it. Though our star heroes are giving hits, they are unable to fill the slot of that missing No.1 Hero. Why?

Undoubtedly, there are only four contestants for the top chair of Tollywood. Only Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu, Ramcharan and Jr NTR had that charisma of becoming No.1 hero in Tollywood, and maybe we can add the name of Prabhas too. But none of them are delivering continuous hits, and making movies at proper intervals. After delivering, blockbusters, every one of them are delivering flops. Only when these heroes deliver at least four blockbusters in a row, they can be called as No.1 hero of Tollywood.

Moreover, the market of Mahesh Babu is not captured by anyone, while Pawan and Charan are having mega-fan base to bring back their investments. Similarly, Jr NTR's mass-market remained untouched, even though Prabhas proved that he is capable of mass-action entertainers. As long as market remains separated for these heroes, none can make it to top slot. Only if a hero can capture the markets of other heroes, he can stand at top slot, but otherwise there will be top star-heroes but no No.1 hero.

Mahesh takes on Charan & Prabhas !!

Mahesh Babu and Venkatesh's much awaited film Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu joined the Sankranthi race now. The makers have decided to push the film's release from December 21 to January second week to cash in on the festive season.

However, trade pundits have been giving thumbs down to Dil Raju's idea as SVSC will be getting a solo release on Dec 21 and whereas for Sankranthi, it should take on other biggies. Already Ram Charan's Nayak and Prabhas's Mirchi were gearing up for release on January 9th and 11th.

With SVSC too joining the race, Industry is waiting with bated breath to know who will have the upper hand as this is for the first time all these top stars have been competing at the Box Office. For now both Mahesh and Charan will have a slight edge over Prabhas, as they on success track with their last films. Wait till Sankranthi for the final tally!

Did Prabhas Miss the Target ? !!

Grapevine in the Industry is that Prabhas upcoming film Mirchi which was scheduled for January 11th release may get postponed.

According to the reliable sources, although a major portion of Mirchi shoot has been wrapped with the Tamilnadu schedule, some talkie part, songs and action sequences still need to be shot. So the makers are now aiming for a January end release (most probably on 25th Jan).

If Prabhas backs off from the race, Ram Charan's Nayak will take a flying star at the Box Office cashing in on the festival season. Only Yeto Vellipoyindhi Manasu (Dec 4), Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Cheetu (Dec 21) and Nayak (Jan 9) are bang on target. There is still no clarity on the release dates of Raviteja's Sir Vacharu, Ram's Ongole Gitta, Naga Chaitanya-Deva Katta's Auto Nagar Surya, Rajinikanth's Kochadaiyaan, Kamal's Vishwaroopam, Karthi's Bad Boy and Arya-Anushka-Selvaraghavan's Brindavanam Lo Nandakumarudu.

As many as 10-biggies are gearing up for release in the next three months, so it's really a big gamble. Let's see who will have the last laugh!
