Nani’s risk: Collaborating with another flop director

0

Tollywood Actor Nani usually works with new directors and he often suffers blows at the box office as well. Normally when a director failes miserably, actors don’t show interest in them. Same is the case for Sailesh Kolanu who delivered hits with his Hit Franchise but failed with Saindhav badly this year. Saindhav became one of Tollywood’s biggest disasters. Now it is said that Nani is taking a risk by collaborating with Sailesh Kolanu for his Hit 3.

Nani made a cameo appearance at the end of Hit 2 starring Adivi Sesh. Nani appeared as a police officer in this cameo appearance. So it is evident that he will be portraying the police role for Hit 3. Nani is currently working on his Saripodaa Sanivaaram directed by Vivek Athreya who earlier worked for Ante Sundaraniki. This film was a box office failure but gave chance to the director again for Saripodaa Sanivaaram.

So Nani will be doing this again with Sailesh Kolanu for Hit 3. It is also evident that Nani is concerned about the script but not the result of these films. He is also contemplating to work with Venu who rose to fame with Balagam which may be announced this year.

People’s media factory party for Alliance victory in AP

0

Tollywood has become very much concentrated about politics in the recent times. We saw many producers, directors, and even actors talking about politics and political leaders belonging to AP. However, this doesn’t apply to Telangana politicial leaders for reasons that only God knows. People’s Media Factory, a production house belonging to the brother of a political leader of AP has offered a party for the alliance victory in AP today.

This has never happened in any film Industry before. A production house personally offering a party for a political leader and parties’ success in a state is definitely new and weird as well. Ironically, a change in the government happened in Telangana where Tollywood now is located at. But no such party or a celebration was offered by anyone. But a change in the government in AP has triggered a response from the same celebrities to an extent where they show it as their personal achievement.

People’s media factory has also made Bro starring Pawan Kalyan who now acts as the Deputy Chief Minister of AP. We have to see how far this goes in the coming days. We may even see producers and other celebrities aggressively joining or supporting political parties in the future which is already happening now. Only time will answer and let’s wait for it.

Pawan Kalyan to support Tollywood

0

Tollywood Actor, Pawan Kalyan is not just an actor but also the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. He successfully managed to end his political debacle, winning 21 seats in the Andhra Pradesh Assembly Elections held recently. Now he seems to support his professional Industry, Tollywood.

The Actor happens to be one of the top heroes of Tollywood. So producers and some directors are very happy for his success. The news is a delegation of producers would be coming to AP to congratulate the actor on his political success and also discuess various issues regarding Tollywood. Aswini Dutt, Dil Raju, Haarika and Haassine Creations Chinna Babu, Mythri Movie Makers management, Sithara Entertainments, Peoples Media Factory and few others will meet the Actor cum politician.

The delegation would surely raise the issue of ticket prices. They would definitely want a hike in the ticket prices. The Actor will take no time in implementing this as well. We may see the same ticket prices that exist in Telangana in AP in the coming days. However, it needs to be seen if the producers would show any interest in establishing Film Studios in AP which didn’t happen in recent years. It would be very good if that happens.
