High Court grants stay for Upendra in Atrocity Case

0

On Monday, the High Court of Karnataka granted stay against the first information report (FIR) filed against Kannada actor Upendra. He was charged under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 for an alleged racist remark he made during a live chat on a social media platform.

Justice Hemant Chandangoudar passed the interim order on a petition filed by Mr. Upendra questioning the legality of the registration of the criminal case lacking ingredients to attract the provisions of the Act.

In his live talk on August 12, the petitioner had used a Kannada proverb that some had opposed as a casteist remark while talking about the evils that all society and the transformation that was required to be brought into society.

“It is a proverb, which is generally used to state that criticism is bound to be generally there and one need not be unduly perturbed. It has nothing to do with insult to Dalit or people belonging to SC/ST. Very significantly, there is a place called Holageri in Shivamogga district and there are many people with the surname Holageri,” it was said in the petition, while claiming that the use of the proverb could not be construed as an insult to a community.

0

Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja and star director Gopichand Malineni have announced recently that they are collaborating once again after three super-duper hit films like Don Seenu, Balupu and Krack. As per the reports, the film is based on true events, much like the previous outing in this combo.

Even if we take the last film in the actor director combination, Krack the director has taken a real life character as a reference, and it was portrayed by Samuthirakhani. Now this new project is also said to be based on true events and reportedly the film is said to be revolving around the caste fights around 1990s between upper caste and lower caste people.

The well-known Mythri Movie Makers banner is financing this exciting project, which was officially announced today. The poster shows that the movie will place in a village called Chundur, and it seems to be about a disaster that occurred in the village. To know the further details of this film, it will take another few days. S Thaman has been roped in to score the music for this mass entertainer.

Gopichand Malineni is reported to have written a story that is both peculiar and powerful, based on real-life incidents. After Ravi Teja’s Eagle project is completed, this project will start it shooting. This film is regarded as the biggest budget film in Ravi Teja’s career.

Bhola Shankar Hindi version releasing in theatres

0

Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Bhola Shankar is now gearing up for its Hindi release. Yes! That’s right! The action entertainer starring Tamannah, Keerthy Suresh, and Sushant is now gearing up to woo the north Indian audience with the film slated to hit the screens on 25th August.

It appears that the deal for a Hindi was closed way before the Telugu release, hence the Hindi version is now scheduled to hit the screens. The Telugu version has turned out to be a major disaster with all centres failing to attract any audience and running in deficits. The Hindi teaser announcing the 25th August date was released a while ago much to the surprise of all.

Bhola Shankar has been a disappointing fare at the box-office with several fans openly expressing their dismay at yet another remake from the Megastar. The film was clouded with doubts over its box-office right from the day it was announced but there was some hope that Megastar’s box-office pull might help in recovering the business. However, Meher Ramesh’s routine direction, predictable and outdated story, and lack of an exciting screenplay ensured that the film had very few takers.

The dismal performance of Bhola Shankar should be an eye-opener for the Megastar, who should now seek to work in direct films which have substantial story and scope for performance. Remakes occasionally might benefit the stars, but the stardom can only be sustained with originality.

Political Parties and caste groups engage in agenda driven negative propaganda to target Chiranjeevi

0

Movies and Politics are two different fields. But it is very well known to everyone that several prominent individuals from Tollywood have entered politics and at the same time, a few politicians have made films as producers as well. So, because of this interlink, sometimes a few Political Parties and caste groups try to engage in agenda driven negative propaganda to target some heroes or other people in the industry whom they do not like. The same thing is now happening with Megastar Chiranjeevi.

Before Bhola Shankar’s release, Chiranjeevi made some comments against the Andhra Pradesh government and requested them to not target the Telugu film industry. Well, the leaders and members of YSRCP did not understand his request and started to attack Chiranjeevi directly.

Now with the film, Bhola Shankar getting bad result, the party people doing a huge negative propaganda on Chiranjeevi. Not only about the film’s result, but they also went after his personal character and started spreading rumors. The same goes with caste people as well. The anti caste people Chiranjeevi are spreading a lot of fake news about the movie and about Chiranjeevi’s remuneration and his character.

Hits and flops are very common for anyone in the industry. The other senior Heroes like Balakrishna, Nagarjuna and Venkatesh scored bigger disasters than Bhola Shankar, but the people are spreading like this is only the biggest disaster ever in Telugu Cinema, and they are spreading a fake news that Producer Anil Sunkara scolded Chiranjeevi, and he sold his properties to give the remuneration. All these fake news and baseless rumors are spreading on the internet with agenda driven negative propaganda to target Chiranjeevi.

0

Sometime praising one hero results in hurting the other hero fans. Even if the intention of the person is right, the choice of words will unknowingly hurt a section of fans. Becuase the Telugu Hero fans are very sensitive in this kind of issues and they cannot take any kind of wrong or unnecessary statements against their favorite hero. Now the same thing has happened with Natural Star Nani.

Recently Nani attended Dulquer Salmaan’s KOK – King Of Kotha movie’s pre release event. During his speech he mentioned that Dulquer is the definition of a true pan Indian star. Now his comments have hurted the other heroes fans as every fanndom feels only their hero is the biggest pan Indian star. So despite his good intention Nani became bad in the eyes of the other heroes fans.

At the pre release event of King Of Kotha, Nani remebered that he dubbed for Dulquer Salman’s role in Mani Ratnam’s Ok Bangaram. Nani expressed his happiness to grace the function at a time when Dulquer is reaching new heights in the Telugu industry. Nani said, “I don’t like the term PAN India. But Dulquer Salmaan is the only hero who can be called a PAN India actor.”

Nani also added that directors from all languages like Telugu, Hindi, Tamil and Malayalam languages want to work with Dulquer and write scripts for him, which is what defines a PAN Indian actor. Nani expressed his belief that King Of Kotha’s promotional content is highly promising and conveyed his best wishes to the entire team. Nani stated that Jakes Bejoy is an exceptional composer and added that Aishwarya Lekshmi is a wonderful actress. Nani further stated that Dulquer Salmaan should advance to the next level with the King Of Kotha.

Superstar Rajinkanth’s Jailer is on fire at the world wide box-office. The film got off to a stupendous start on its release day on 10th August and hasn’t stopped ever since. With tomorrow being a holiday, the film is expected to further march on to bigger numbers at the worldwide box-office marking a resounding comeback for both Rajinikanth and Nelson Dilipkumar.

Jailer is on its way to creating a new benchmark in Tamil cinema and become an all-time industry hit. For all versions collection-wise, 2.0 is the current industry hit in Kollywood. If we consider only the Tamil version, then Ponniyin Selvan 1 is the industry hit.

Looking at the stronghold of Jailer today, the movie has a higher chance to emerge as a new industry soon. Massive collections are guaranteed for tomorrow i.e. Independence Day. The movie has to continue this momentum from Wednesday onwards as well and definitely the movie will be a new Kollywood industry hit.

Directed by Nelson Dileepkumar who has earlier directed projects like Vijay’s Beast and Sivakarthikeyan’s Doctor, this Rajini starrer has received significant interest from the audience thanks to its exciting trailer and a roaring cameos of Mohanlal and Shiva Rajkumar.

Rajinikanth mesmerized everyone with his extraordinary screen presence and action episodes. Nelson has achieved a solid comeback after Beast while Anirudh’s BGM stood as one of the major highlights of the film.

Megastar Chiranjeevi needs a strong PR team

0

In the film industry, many things change over the years. For example, once upon a time, the films had a perfect long run at the theaters. Films which have released in 1960/70’s had even run for 365 days, I.e a complete year. After that, the run came down to 100/200 days and in the past decade the gap got even shrunk and nowadays, it is a huge thing for a film to have a run for 50 days.

Likewise, the promotional pattern of the films has also got changed. Every Hero needs to promote his film on a massive scale. For that to happen, a good PR team is required. Almost of all the star heroes have their own PR teams which not only promote the film, but they also take care that there would not be any bad or unnecessary negative news or rumor about the hero comes out. Taking a look at the recent news and rumors being spread on Megastar Chiranjeevi, one cannot help but feel that he definitely needs a strong PR team.

We know about the recent fake news regarding Chiranjeevi which was widespread. A rumor had done rounds for a few days that he demanded his latest film, Bhola Shankar’s Producer to give his remuneration by hook or crook. However, the Producer himself clarified no such demand had come from Chiranjeevi and put an end to the rumors.

Seeing all this, the Mega fans are now in a feeling that Chiranjeevi certainly requires a strong PR team which says the reality to him and not the Bhajana batch who always say that all his decisions are correct and praise him continuously for their selfish reasons. He requires a strong PR team who should be able to show him the reality and inform what kind of movies he has to choose. If he establishes the PR team, then there will be no chance for the negative news against him to spread like a wildfire.

However, there is a potential clash for MSMP on September 7th, as Shahrukh Khan’s highly awaited movie “Jawan” is also scheduled for release on the same day, but this film being a small film, should not be have many problems regarding the allocation of theaters.
