Half A Crore for Nitya Menon??

     Looking at the career graph of Nitya Menon, one would put her in the small films’ heroine category. But this Malayalee girl is a pretty sought after star for the small and medium budget films. Many of the younger heroes too are keen on acting with her in at least one film.

     Naturally, she has increased her charges and is now taking nothing less than Rs 50 lakh. Incidentally, not even some medium range heroes get that kind of remuneration. But given the craze for Nitya and her marketability, she is not only demanding, but also getting the price she is demanding.

     If she continues her success streak for at least another couple of films, then it is only a matter of time when she will bag big budget films, say the industry insiders.

Mahesh with Puri

     Puri’s bad phase continues. Only recently, he has said that he will be making a film in a month. But, looks like that dream of his is not going to come true. Mahesh, for whom, he is presently preparing a script is said to be in no mood to act in a film that is made in a rush. So, the rumour is that Mahesh has conveyed the same to Puri. 

     Already, Mahesh is pretty miffed with Puri, given the way Businessman had turned out. At that time, there was talk that the film did not match up to Mahesh’s image and Mahesh too was not happy with the way the film had shaped up. But since it turned out to be a commercial success, Puri was saved.

     Puri usually writes a story in 10 days and wraps up the shooting in 60 days. The result is that his films are flopping in quick succession.  Mahesh is said to have told him that he will not do the film if it has some catchy dialogues and a weak script. It is heard that other heroes too have made similar decisions.

Balayya's new movie's title

     The title of Nandamuri Balakrishna’s new film. Earlier, the film was titled as ‘Ruler’ but many felt it sounds like Balayya’s earlier movie ‘Adhinayakudu’ as per meaning. That film didn’t work so sentiment wise also it may not suit. Then they wanted to add something related to Simha.

     But already we have seen ‘Narasimha Naidu’ ‘Seema Simham’ so even that is not working. But then they thought a title denoting director Boyapati Srinu and Rajamouli combo should be felt. Sources say they looked at ‘Vikramasimha’ = Vikramarkudu+ Simha. But already superstar Rajnikanth’s film is already coming with the same name. So, that also dropped out.

     Sources say now the focus is on ‘Telugodu’. The impact is good but very rustic so it has to be stylish. ‘Andhrudu’ is already taken by Gopichand. Also, they want to avoid the Andhra word in the title. Overall, it should suit Balayya’s political image, at the same time it should be stylish. Looking at all this, it may be that they will put ‘Ruler’ only. Among all the titles mentioned, this is the best option. Let us see what happens.

Allari Naresh's Marriage

     Allari Naresh says the time has come for him to get married. No, he will not marry any girl from the film industry, but an educated and well mannered girl from outside the industry. He says that the time is right for him to get married and he intends to tie the knot by the end of this year.

     His mother and late EVV’s friend and actor Chalapati Rao are said to be busy finding a girl for him. Long ago, one heard of his special friendship with his co-star Farzana. But Naresh insists that she is a good friend and that he will only marry a girl of his mother’s choice.  Well, we wish you all the best Naresh.

Rana is trying for Villian and Character artist

     Daggubati Rana seems to have realized that instead of Hero character, better to do character artist  and Villan character quickly.  Lately, it is being noticed that the towering hunk has been going in for Villain, character artist roles instead of sitting for hero roles.

     Sources say he wants to show his versatility and increase his performance quotient like Prakash Raj. Some are saying maybe Suresh Babu also advised Rana to take this path.  If one can see, Prakash Raj could not click as a hero but as a villain and character artist he has shined very well giving powerhouse performances.

     Currently, Rana is busy with ‘Bahubali’ and ‘Rudramadevi’ wherein both his roles are not the usual lead characters. This change of track will surely put Rana’s career back on success track.
