ANR, prosperous 90th birthday

It's a celebration of sorts. Veteran turns ninety and is still going strong in acting department. The man in discussion is none but the stalwart of Telugu cinema Akkineni Nageshwar Rao. The actor who debuted at the age of 17 in Tollywood shook Telugu film industry and is still going strong. His first film was Dharmapatni in 1941. He played a small role in that film. Four years later, he got the chance to play lead role in Seeta Rama Jananam (1944). Films like Balaraju (1948) and Keelugurram (1949) established him as a star. With Devadasu (1953), his became big star and won many accolades as actor. Since then he never looked back and went on to become one of the strong pillars of Telugu film industry along with N T Ramarao. 

Popularly known as ANR, Nageshwar Rao has acted in some iconic films. Charming Prince, distraught lover, college’s lover boy, responsible government official, mythological characters, ANR has done them all. Before foraying into films, ANR acted in several dramas. Today ANR has more than 260 films behind him, in which majority of the films went on to become hits.

The legendary actor has received several awards. He has got the highest civilian honour the Padma Vibhushan award in 2011. ANR was honoured with the prestigious Dada Sahesb Phalke Award in 1991. Today we have an award similar to the Phalke award in ANR’s name known as the ANR National Award. This award is given annually to recognize people for their lifetime achievements and contributions to the Indian film industry.

We saw ANR perform as Maharishi Valmiki in Sri Ramarajyam which was released in 2011. Now two years later we will see him again in Manam. This film also has ANR's son Nagarjuna and grandson Naga Chaitanya in the lead. In Manam ANR will perform as Nagarjuna's son and Naga Chaitanya's grandson. A role reversal from reality. 

The first look of Manam is already out on the occasion of ANR's 90th birthday.

Bollywood actor-filmmaker Aamir Khan features in one of the most awaited films of the year, "Dhoom 3", he says he is not thinking about how many records it will break.

Reacting to reports stating that he has claimed that "Dhoom 3" will surpass the business of Shah Rukh Khan's "Chennai Express", Aamir Khan said in a statement:"I am not interested in breaking records. I am an artist, and what gives me a high is to entertain my audience, to give them a good time, and to satisfy them emotionally."

First Indian-origin woman crowned Miss America

Miss New York Nina Davuluri poses for photographers following her crowning as Miss America 2014.

The Miss America pageant has crowned its first winner of Indian heritage.

Moments after winning the 2014 crown, 24 year-old Nina Davuluri described how delighted she is that the nearly century-old pageant sees beauty and talent of all kinds.

“I’m so happy this organization has embraced diversity,” she said in her first press conference after winning the crown in Atlantic City, New Jersey’s Boardwalk Hall. “I’m thankful there are children watching at home who can finally relate to a new Miss America.”

The 24 year-old Miss New York’s talent routine was a Bollywood fusion dance.

The native of Syracuse, New York wants to be a doctor, and is applying to medical school, with the help of a $50,000 (38,000) scholarship she won as part of the pageant title.

She is the second consecutive Miss New York to win the Miss America crown, succeeding Mallory Hagan, who was selected in January when the pageant was still held in Las Vegas. The Miss America Organization will compensate Hagan for her shortened reign.

Racist tweets greet Davuluri

But soon after being crowned she was attacked with racist taunts.

“Is Miss America even American?,” said one tweet.
“MissAmerica’s name does not sounds very American ... just saying,” said another.
“This is Miss America... Not Miss Foreign Country,” another person tweeted.

But Ms. Davuluri appeared unfazed by the comments.

“I have to rise above that,” she said. “I always viewed myself as first and foremost American.”

Ms. Davuluri had planned to go to the scene of a devastating boardwalk fire in the New Jersey communities of Seaside Park and Seaside Heights Monday afternoon. But pageant officials cancelled that visit after learning that Governor Chris Christie was making cabinet officials available at that same time to business owners victimized by the fire.

Ms. Davuluri will visit at an unscheduled future date, pageant officials said early on Monday.

She will still make the traditional frolic in the Atlantic City surf Monday morning.

In the run-up to the pageant, much attention was given to Miss Kansas, Theresa Vail, the Army sergeant who was believed to have been the first Miss America contestant to openly display tattoos. She has the Serenity Prayer on her rib cage, and a smaller military insignia on the back of one shoulder.

Ms. Vail won a nationwide “America’s Choice” vote to advance as a semi-finalist, but failed to make it into the Top 10.

In a Twitter message on Sunday before the finals began, Ms. Vail wrote: “Win or not tonight, I have accomplished what I set out to do. I have empowered women. I have opened eyes.”

Ms. Jones made it into the top 5 wearing a bedazzled knee brace. She tore knee ligaments on Thursday while rehearsing her baton-twirling routine, which she executed flawlessly on Sunday night.

The pageant had pitted 53 contestants one from each state, plus District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands in swimsuit, evening gown, talent and interview competitions.

Kochadaiyaan to release on Rajinikanth's birthday 12.12.2013

The long-awaited Rajinikanth starrer Kochadaiyaan, his first release in 3 years following his illness and slow recovery, has finally found a release date. The long-anticipated spectacle is all set to be released on 12 December, the day Rajinikanth turns 63.

We've heard a lot of false release dates for Kochadaiyaan for the last one and a half years. But now finally the film's co-producer Dr. Murli Manohar confirms, "We are aiming at a 12 December, 2013 release for the film, finally. It's been a long struggle. But we wanted Rajiniji's fans to get the most perfect film after a 3-year wait. I think we've achieved what we set out to do."

The film's music by A R Rahman will be released in October.

The release of Kochadaiyaan in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and several other languages including Japanese makes it the most global Rajinikanth release ever.

It looks like Deepika Padukone who plays Rajinikanth's female lead in Kochadaiyaan would have 4 back-to-back blockbusters in 2013. While Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Chennai Express have already smashed box-office records, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Ram Leela and Kochadaiyaan which Rajinikanth's daughter Soundarya directs would consolidate Deepika's position as the no.1 Bollywood diva.

Interestingly, this special-effects laden action film Kochadaiyaan comes just a week ahead of Yash Raj'sDhoom 3 which releases on 20 December.

Bhagya Laxmi demanding Rs 2 Cr!

Deepika Padukone

Gabbar Singh 2 team have lost the last hope on roping Deepika Padukone opposite Pawan Kalyan and have launched their hunt to find the perfect girl who fits the bill.

The script seemed ready and so does our Power Star but for lack of heroine the movie has not gone on floors yet.

Sampath Nandi has been on the manhunt mission for the last one month yet it doesn’t seem to yield fruitful results to sign lead lady as Gabbar Singh’s Bhagya Lakshmi.


Deepika Padukone and Sonakshi Sinha have been the two girls they seriously considered and Pawan felt that Deepika could be a better bet considering the glam factor she could be adding to the project, making, pre-release and the movie. The makers got a shock when the two girls demanded whopping high Rs 2 crores. Going by Pawan’s recommendation when they approached Deepika, more shocks came. Her 2 crores remuneration came with many conditions applied including shoot timings. Although Sonakshi didn’t lay conditions, the makers are dillydallying if they can settle with someone from South itself.

Review : Toofan/Zanjeer

Preview:

It’s all set for Mega Power star Ram Charan Tej’s Bollywood debut. Charan, already a star in his own respect in Telugu, is making his debut in Bollywood with Zanjeer film. This son of Megastar has selected another superstar’s cult classic hit for his debut in Hindi. With lot of stakes and expectations Charan’s debut bolly movie Zanjeer is releasing this Friday. As the movie is the remake of a huge hit of yesteryears, there is lot of buzz surrounding it. Priyanka Chopra is acting as heroine opposite Charan.

* Apoorva Lakhia is directing this mega budget action movie being produced by Reliance Entertainments. Charan has proved himself in Telugu. It has to be seen whether he will recreate the same success in Hindi. Zanjeer is being released in Telugu as Thoofan. It’s coming after successive hits Raccha and Nayak. Let’s find out whether he will score a hat-trick and hoist Telugu flag high in Bollywood.

* Zanjeer is one of the all time great movies of Bollywood. It is Zanjeer which brought Amitab Bachan the sobriquet of ‘Angry Young Man’. Every top hero dreams of a role like it. You offer the role to any top hero, he will lap it up without second thoughts. It’s just Charan’s luck that he got an opportunity to star in Zanjeer remake.

* It’s a dream come true for Charan that a successful top director like Apoorva Lakhia selected him to get into Big B’s shoes. Apoorva Lakhia has a good track record with hits like Mission Istanbul and Dus kahaniya to his credit. Apoorva Lakhia has zeroed in on Charan after watching Magadheera and waited for 8 months for Charan’s dates.

* Director Apoorva Lakhia has not remade Zanjeer as it is. He has incorporated many changes in tune with present times and trend. Apoorva also kept in mind Charan’s image in Telugu. While Hindi version will be tune with Bollywood style, Telugu version Thoofan will satisfy both Telugu audience and Mega fans it seems.

* The story runs in the backdrop of oil mafia. Charan appears as ACP Vijay. Movie team is saying that, chemistry between Charan and Priyanka Chopra has clicked. Hot scenes are also said to be there between Priyanka and Charan.

* Srihari and Tanikella Bharani played important roles. Thoofan is the first movie in the combination of Srihari and Charan after Magadheera. Mega fans are banking on sentiment thinking that like Magadheera even Thoofan will become a stupendous hit. It is said that Srihari has come up with excellent performance in the role of Sher Khan.

* Zanjeer is releasing in highest number of theatres world wide. This is a record in Charan’s career.

* Even in Telugu it is being released on a mega scale. Though situation is problematic in Seemandhra region, movie makers have been releasing it daringly.

* The movie has gathered publicity as producers approached court for security for the movie.

Just a few minutes back in our wishes for Pawan Kalyan's birthday, we said he is growing bigger than any and all the individual brands in Telugu land. Be it Telangana, Andhra or Rayala Seema, the star's fanfare has raised to a level which no single political leader or film star is able to garner in recent times. Many articles of late have openly termed him as the 'New Power Center' of united or bifurcated AP.

RGV, who tweeted a few days ago saying he wants to see the 'Power Star' making a foray into politics and he will stand in line to vote for the actor. He even went on to say that he'd seen a charisma and intensity in PK's eyes that he'd seen in Bal Thakerey's eyes and he'd be the most followed actor turned politicos from MGR to Chiru if he takes up politics.

Today, on the occasion of the star's birth day, the maverick director tweeted again saying 'I don't care when Pawan Kalyan is born. I will wish him only when he starts his political party. Coz that will be his true birthday...' But sure, PK will be smart enough to avoid foraying into politics. If he does, it will be a new dawn indeed...

Priyanka Chopra skips Zanjeer event in Hyderabad for Ram Leela

                                                            Priyanka Chopra

While there have been reports of Priyanka Chopra being miffed with her Zanjeer co-star Ramcharan Teja for apparently showing up late for their promotional event, the truth is, Ms Chopra too is very busy, too busy to even attend the massive music release function of Thoofan, the Telugu version of Zanjeer on Wednesday in Hyderabad.

A source from Hyderabad says, "We were very surprised when PC didn't show up in Hyderabad. It was very big day for the Telugu Zanjeer and also for Ramcharan Teja's wife Upasana. Her family's Apollo chain of hospitals turned 25 years old on Wednesday. First there was a grand event at the Novotel hotel for the Apollo parivaar where Upasana's grandfather who founded the Apollo chain was present. This was followed by the Thoofan music release at which all of Ramcharan's directors so far (he has done only 4 Telugu films) came on stage to wish him all the best."

Priyanka, we hear from Hyderabad, was to appear at both the events in Hyderabad on Wednesday. Instead she was seen in Mumbai on Wednesday evening walking the ramp for Neeta Ambani.

When asked about conspicuous absence in Hyderabad, Zanjeer director Apoorva Lakhia defended his heroine stoutly. "PC has been co-operation personified. She has been promoting Zanjeer and Thoofan, and shooting for her song in Ram Leela. The reason she didn't show up in Hyderabad was because she attended a fashion event in Mumbai for our Zanjeer producers (Reliance). And she sent a video message for our music function in Hyderabad which was beamed on every channel on Andhra Pradesh."

Regarding reports that Ramcharan pissed off  Priyanka by showing up late for Zanjeer events, a source from the Zanjeer team informs, "Yes. Ramcharan did show up more than an hour late for an event last week at the Mithibhai College in Mumbai. But that was because his driver got into a verbal scuffle. Ramcharan apologized to Priyanka and she was just fine with it. Now someone wants to portray Ramcharan as non-punctual and indisciplined on the eve of his Hindi release then what can we do? The truth is he is as driven, committed and punctual as PC."
