Ram Gopal Varma is back after a long hiatus into the Telugu circuit and he chose his favorite genre of violence, intensity and bloodshed. Let us see how far RGV is successful in convincing audiences. Let us peep into good and bad in the movie:

StoryNoted MLA Narasimha Reddy (Kitty) has got a trusted aide in the form of Veerabhadriah (Rajendra Gupta) in Anandapuram area.

However, Narasimha’s relative Nagamani Reddy (Kota) is unable to take this for reasons of caste and losing his presence. He plants a seed of friction and in no time, Narasimha Reddy gets Veerabhadriah killed. This enrages Veerabhadriah’s elder son Shankar Ravi (Sushant) and he gets into a killing spree and operates from forests.

Veerabhadriah’s younger son Pratap Ravi (Vivek) who is away from all this gets to know of this and before he realizes, Shankar Ravi also gets killed. He vows revenge on his father and brother’s killers and in this process, Narasimha Reddy, Nagamani Reddy and others are brutally killed. Nagamani Reddy’s son Bukka Reddy (Abhimanyu) who is insane to the core is unable to take this and he becomes Pratap’s main enemy.

Meanwhile, the rise of Pratap as opposite force to Bukka Reddy is noticed by Shivaji Rao (Shatrughan) who sets a new party and he decides to lift Pratap to put an end to Bukka Reddy. What happens after that forms the rest of the story.

Performances:
Vivek Oberoi is an apt choice, his eyes deliver the sufficient emotion of revenge and his body language is intense. He has done full justice to his role.

Abhimanyu Singh is a complete show stealer. His menacing looks and his cold blooded performance will give some spine chilling moments.

Shatrughan Sinha was contained and it must be said that traces of real life N T Rama Rao are quite prominent in his gestures and dialogue delivery.

Kota was perfect, Radhika was naturally appealing, Zarina was neat, Tanikella was impressive and he made his presence felt, Rajendra Gupta was adequate, Sushant was brief, Ashish Vidyarthi was alright, Subhalekha Sudhakar was standard, Subrat Dutta was good, the others did their bit as required and added value.

Highlights:Symbolism shots with respect to showing a cycle in Shivaji Rao (Shatrugan Sinha)’s place (recalling TDP and NTR), usage of left had, addressing as ‘brother' are impressive.

Showing a dog barking after the death of Naga Mani Reddy (Kota) depicts ‘kukka chaavu'..That’s impressive.

Ram Moorthy (Tanikella) saying to Pratap Ravi ‘to shave beard as a politician should look clean at face although dirty at heart'

Bukka Reddy’s introduction scene

Disappointments:RGV’s voice over is overflowing. It’s not a radio drama to explain everything with a voice over. Whatever RGV is saying in voice, is being conveyed visually! It disturbed the mood to some extent.

Pratap Ravi stays in forest as per the dialogue. But he stays in a dusty hill area that hardly looks like a forest. It may sound trivial, but when such observations linger in mind, some audience gets distracted from the mood.

Why Dabbunnoda song? The context is not convincing.

Challenges:The subject chosen is quite hard hitting so one needs to have some background information before actually connecting to the film.

Facing criticism with respect to Shivai Rao’s (a replica of NTR) characterization and converting it into publicity element.

Facing criticism and questions with respect to ‘pedda sir' (implying YSR) and again converting it into a publicity element

Mood is suddenly dropping down at the conclusion point of the movie. Waiting till Part-2 to get completeness in feeling is a challenge for audience and it’s challenge for maker to sustain interest for 1 month till Part-2 release.

Analysis:“Goodness or badness can never be anyone’s property. They are situational.
If a man is hunger free, he showers only goodness. But if any sort of hunger (be it lust, power craving or greed or vengeance) hits him, he spells badness'.
Rakta Charitra is a fiction based on historical facts.
It’s rather powerful to say that it’s a true depiction of human emotions.
It’s a tour to extreme human beings.

Ramayan or Mahabharat or any chronicled history in dramatic form depicts the extremities of emotions in every character. For example if Karna is known for generosity, its shown with eccentricity of chopping off his own armored skin to offer for a beggar. If Bheeshma is known for sacrifice, its shown in extreme point of choosing life time celibacy to keep himself and his legacy far from kingship. Any drama holds grip only when the characterizations are strong. This fact was known for dramatists right from Veda Vyasa and Valmiki. Similar path is now chosen by Ram Gopal Varma is depicting a historical fact in dramatic form.

He has shown Bukka Reddy as a determined rapist (!) and dedicated murderer (!).The incidents canned around this characterization are extreme in imagination. Pratap Ravi is shown as a bad guy, but for a true reason (since he is chosen to be the hero of the plot).

Ram Gopal Varma is a master of movie making and an expert storyteller. This is seen here yet again. As such, the storyline can be understood in few words and there is nothing unpredictable about it but then it is the way Ramu takes off with each scene and how he gets the viewer into the film which counts.

His screenplay techniques and shot compositions are one of those dexterities he possesses. Perhaps a layman might find the visual appeal to be dim but then there are few flashes of his brilliance which are seen on and off. The focus was more on the emotion of the protagonist and the villain so that is a challenge to handle for more than two hours.

On the other hand, it is not a typical Varma characterization where most of the actors give hard expressions, talk less and convey more. Here the characters speak sufficient and sometimes little verbose!! But still there is a rhythm in their performance and it connects to the regular audience.

On a whole it’s a movie about the raise of a leader.

Bottom-line: For the lovers of realistic violence.

Is Kim Kardashian too old to pose nude?

2010-10-19T16:29:00.000+05:30

The world is in love with Kim Kardarshian’s drop dead gorgeous body. Indeed, Kim Kardashian recently posed completely nude for W magazine, flaunting her voluptuous body for the world to see.

But her fans may as well enjoy those photos because, horror of horrors, if Kim is to be believed she may never go nude again.

"It turned out beautifully, and I love it," she told Us Weekly of the W spread. But: "I don't know [if I'll pose nude again].

I'm too old for that now...I wanted to get it all out of my system before I turned 30."

Kim turns 30 this Thursday, and over the weekend she celebrated at Tao Las Vegas, where she wrestled with sister Khloe while wearing a silver lame mini-dress.

Kim has earlier posed nude for Playboy and Harper's Bazaar. We do hope that Kim reconsiders. We don't want the world to be bereft of her spectacular body shows, do we?

A Right Movie For All Human Beings :: Robo Review

2010-10-02T11:27:00.000+05:30

Film: రోబో (రోబో)
Cast: Rajni Kanth, Aishwarya Rai, Danny Dengzompa, Santhanam, Karunas
Lyricists: Vanamali, Suddala, Bhuvana Chandra
Dialogues: Sree Rama Krishna
Music: AR Rehman
Producer: Kalanithi Maran
Main Story: Sujatha
Cinematography: Rathnavelu
Editing: Anthony
Costume: Mary E Vogt
Screenplay-Director: Shankar
Released On: 1st Oct 2010

This is the most talked about movie in recent times. Huge technical values, whopping budget, star casting in high élan and a gen-next concept…all conglomerated to spell out ‘Robo’.

Story:
Dr Vaseekaran (Rajni Kanth) makes a Robot and gives him his own shape. The Robot is omniscient and omnipotent. His motive is to prepare his Robot to join Indian Army. He wishes to make many more such Robots to help Army and reduce loss of lives during wars. But Dr Vaseekaran’s enemy, another scientist (Danny) disproves that his Robot cannot fit to be used for military purposes as it cannot think like a human. He states that it has no emotions and reasoning capacity.

Dr Vaseekaran pumps in human feelings and reasoning capabilities and makes him almost a human. But things turn upside down. Robot starts loving Sana (Aishwarya Rai), the fiancée of Dr Vaseekaran. Robot gets attracted to Sana and that makes Vaseekaran angry. He destroys it.

But the enemy scientist takes the destroyed Robot, repairs it and infuses destructive mechanism in it. He wants it to sell to some international gangsters. But the love for Sana in Robot aggravates as wild possessiveness and that pesters Sana.

Robot becomes very strong physically and becomes like a cruel demon. It even kills the scientist who gives him second birth. It creates massive destruction to society by creating many Robots like itself.

How Dr Vaseekaran deactivates the Robot and brings things to peace is the end of the film.

Performances:
Rajni Kanth is tremendously good at age 60. His moves, his gait and expressions didn’t wane even a bit. He got connected to new age kids and they cannot forget him for rest of their lives. That way Rajni Kanth added another 60 years to his image.

Aishwarya Rai is the true asset for the movie. Her glamour made a lot of difference. As a true goddess of beauty she enchanted everyone.

Danny is apt in serious role. His performance is in contemporary international standards.

If there is anything to speak about the film, that’s technical brilliance.

Music is in gen-next style. Sound is marvelous. Canning of songs is opulent. But the lyrics in Kilimanjaro are lewd and weak. Rest of the songs are fine.

Director Shankar deserves great mention for making this biggest feat possible on Indian screen with a message.

Analysis:
“It is selfishness that we must seek to eliminate. I find that whenever I have made a mistake in my life, it has always been because ‘self’ entered into the calculation. Where self has not been involved, my judgment had gone straight to the mark”- Swamy Vivekananda

This saying of great soul of Indian soil lingers in the mind while watching this film. Knowingly or unknowingly Shankar made a movie basing on this saying.

It’s a movie for world children.

Yes, it truly influences the senses of new generation kids those developed relation only with video games but not human beings. Hardly there are joint families now where grand parents teach morals to kids. And the kids tend to listen only to machine. They tend to follow what machine says. And director Shankar aptly takes the way through machine, the Robot, to teach values.

Kids run away listening to words kama, krotha, lobha, moha, mada, matsarya…but they assimilate that when shown in a dramatic way. That too, not in the style of Chandamama stories. They want something with scientific reasoning. Hence the path is chosen through ‘Robot’.

How peaceful the Robo was and how useful that was to society when it’s free from those 6 evils. And how it becomes detrimental to itself and society when injects them into it. That’s aptly narrated.

The true essence of the movie is narrated in the end. The dialogues delivered by Robot while dismantling himself are hitting the hearts. The dialogues touch every human being with introspection. And at last, a girl looks back and goes with a thoughtful grimace. That is a symbolism for entire world kids those will be in thought process from now.

First half is entertaining. The first 30 minutes of second half are not gripping in right standards. That part is boring. But the climax action episode is marvelous to be on Indian screen. The last few closing dialogues are impressive and with true essence.

Hinduism or Islam or Christianity or Shintiosm or Taosim…every religion says one who is free from anger is the true strong man and one who shuns self is the true atman!!! ‘Anger’, as Sukhabodhananda says, is one letter less to danger. That is the true cause for destruction. Let us wish that this movie sows a seed at least in a few minds of children to prevent self entering into calculation while taking decisions….like a school girl that turns back and goes at the end on the screen..!!!!

Bottom-line: Watch it...

Priyanka Chopra! Ravan's sister?

Priyanka Chopra! Ravan's sister?

Ketan Mehta's 3-D animated Ramayan The Epic has Ravan's sister Shurpanakha looking similar to Priyanka Chopra.

Director Chetan Desai says, "In Hindu mythology, she was known as the most beautiful woman. We had to find someone as stunning as Shurpanakha.

No Indian celebrity could be found to match her face. It was then that I remembered Priyanka in Aitraaz and how she looked then.

I referenced Shurpanakha's character from Priyanka's basic looks in Aitraaz. " Wonder what PC has to say to this?

It's Bipasha v/s John this time!

Bollywood's hot couple Bipasha Basu and John are going great with their relationship since last nine years. They survived all their alleged relationship with their respective co-stars and after all the ups and downs they have remained a strong a hot couple of Bollywood.

But, this October 15, the couple will go through an 'acid test'! Well, there is nothing personal about it. Actually, on this particular day, both the actors are going to have their latest releases.

Bipasha Basu and Ajay Devgn starrer movie Akrosh, which is based on honor killings in the state of Haryana, was set to hit the theaters on October 1. But, the release date of the film got delayed due to the Ayodhya verdict. Now, it will release on the same day when John's movie Jhoota Hi Sahi will release.

The couple will face such competition at the Box Office for the first time in their nine year long career in the industry.

Bipasha has shared this on her micro-blogging page Twitter. The actress, who has gone for an issue based movie again after Lamhaa, posted that Jhootha Hi Sahi and Aakrosh are releasing on October 15 and this has happened first time in their nine year long career in Bollywood. The actress has expressed hope that both the movies do well at the Box Office.

Well, it will be a test for the two actors because it will also disclose their popularity among the audience? However, considering the promotions of both the films, it seems both of them belong to totally different genre and there will be different kinds of audience for the two films. So, keep guessing who will win the race, Bipasha or John!

Eesha's spooktacular party

Eesha Koppikhar gets a themed bash and a luxury car from husband on her b'day

Actor Eesha Koppikar got a luxury car from husband Timmy Narang as a birthday gift. Not just that, Timmy even threw her a lavish themed birthday party.

Simple taste
Recounts the b'day gal, "Though I love cars I am very simple where my tastes are concerned. Timmy decided to pamper me by gifting me a 7 series BMW.

When I woke up in the morning, it was all packaged and ribboned in the driveway. I thought the car was for him and even remarked 'That's a nice car!' That's when Timmy told me it was for me. I was stunned!"

Koppikhar says that her birthday party started as a surprise but Timmy couldn't keep it up and kept asking her for her friends' numbers. "Finally I told him that I knew what he was up to and that I could help too. "

She adds, "The party was at Narang House with over 200 people attending. The theme was gothic with a vampire overtone. I wore a vintage black dress with black beads and a cross while Timmy wore black lipstick.

We decorated the room with illuminated crosses, creepers, coffins, candles and blue lights while the dance floor was lit up with neon lights so when we flashed our teeth they looked green. I called it my 'spooktacular party!" Even the food and beverages were in sync with the theme. "

Eesha concludes, "I cut down on films when I got married. I decided to take a sabbatical. I wanted to enjoy my marriage but now I am reading scripts and hearing narrations. "

The nightingale of India, Lata turns 81

2010-09-28T21:04:00.002+05:30

The nightingale of India, Lata turns 81

Playback legend Lata Mangeshkar turns 81 Tuesday, with fans swearing by her golden voice even as she has chosen to cut down on assignments after singing for over 1, 000 Hindi movies.

Starting her career in 1942, she reigned over the film industry for decades and is still the first preference of many filmmakers like Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Madhur Bhandarkar and an inspiration to established singers of today.

Lata, who was born Sep 28, 1929, also featured in the Guinness World Records book from 1974 to 1991 for having made the most recordings in the world. She was last heard in Bhandarkar's Jail.

"Lataji's birthday is a great event. She has given us so much in terms of music, love and affection. I just hope that she lives on forever and gives her blessings to us. I am very close to her and I am happy, proud and fortunate that she is close to me, " said filmmaker Yash Chopra who has vowed only to work with her among the female singers in the industry.

"Jab bhi ji chahe" (Daag); "Kabhi kabhie mere dil mein" (Kabhi Kabhie); "Neela asman so gaya" (Silsila); Meri bindiya teri nindiya (Lamhe); "Dholna" (Dil To Pagal Hai) and "Tere Liye" (Veer Zaara) are some of Lata's hit numbers for Chopra.

Bhansali is in fact composing an album as a tribute to her.

"I know every nuance in her voice. She is a miracle of nature. And there's so much in her throat that is still untapped. I first thought I'd create just one song for her in 'Guzaarish'. Then I thought, why one song when a whole ethos, era after era of supreme excellence is embodied in that voice?" Bhansali said.

"Lataji is far more than a singer. She mirrors all the beauty of the soul. It is that beauty that I want to capture in my songs, " he added.

Not just this, Bhansali's forthcoming film Guzaarish is also inspired by one of Lata's imperishable melodies, "Hai tere saath meri wafaa mein nahin to kya", composed by Madan Mohan and written by Kaifi Azmi for the film Hindustan Ki Kasam.

Starting her career in 1942 with songs in Marathi, Lata's first Hindi song was "Paa lagoon kar jori" for Vasant Joglekar's movie "Aap Ki Seva Mein" in 1946. Two years later, composer Ghulam Haider gave Lata her first major break with the song "Dil mera toda" in Majboor and after that there was no looking back for the nightingale of India, as she is fondly called.

She has worked with all the major composers of the bygone era and mesmerised the current lot too.

Lata has recorded songs for over 1, 000 Hindi movies and sung in more than 36 regional Indian languages. She is the second vocalist ever to have received the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honour.

Lilting melodies like "Aayega aanewala" from Mahal, "Aaja re pardesi" from Madhumati, "Pyar kiya to darna kya" from Mughal-e-Azam and "Satyam shivam sundaram" from the film of the same name still find a place on the favourite list of music lovers.

She has sung all kinds of songs in her long career, including romantic numbers like "Tumhen yaad karte karte", "Ajeeb daastan hai yeh", and naughty ones like "Main kamsin hoon", "Bahon mein chale aao", "Bangle ke peeche" and "Choti si umar main" as well as devotional songs like "Paoji maine Ram ratan dhan pao" and "O palan hare".

Even singers are still in awe of the great singer who is also the elder sister of singer Asha Bhosle.

"I can't express in words what she means to me and how I feel for her. Just want to wish her a happy and healthy life ahead, " Sunidhi Chauhan said.

Playback singer Sonu Niigaam added: "I want to wish a very happy birthday to Lataji. Many many best wishes to her. I would just like to tell her that keep enlightening India and world with your songs and bless me. "

Shahid, Priyanka's close moments In Goa!

Shahid, Priyanka's close moments In Goa!

Lots of speculations have been made and said about the alleged Priyanka Chopra and Shahid Kapoor relationship but it seems that there is no end to it. Now, there is a report that the two Bollywood stars had recently gone for a short holiday in Goa!

It seems that they want to come out of the 'good friends' tag to a publicly declared couple. Last month, when Priyanka left for Brazil to shoot for the reality show 'Khatron Ke Khiladi', she was reportedly dropped by Shahid.

The actress left for Brazil on 16th August and came back to Mumbai on 8th September, which was a gap of almost one month.

A source was quoted saying that soon after returning from Brazil, the unofficial couple made a plan to spend some time together and had a very short one-day trip to Goa. They had reportedly left on September 9 and spent just one day there. Priyanka was scheduled to leave for Delhi on the next day and the promotions of her Anjaana Anjaani followed after that.

An eyewitness was quoted saying that the stars took a 12 pm flight from Mumbai and they were seated in the business class section of the flight with number 9W-475. They were dressed in casuals and wore dark glasses, probably to avoid eye contact with anyone else.

Well, how will they keep denying their relations because paparazzi are always behind them and will find out every close moment they spend together!

I want Ranbir to fall in love: Priyanka

I want Ranbir to fall in love: Priyanka

That's Priyanka Chopra on the stunt she'd like to see newfound buddy Ranbir Kapoor take on. We chatted up Ranbir and Priyanka who, soon after their first film together, are surprisingly seriously in sync

PC and RK are leaving no stone unturned before their film Anjaana Anjaani hits the big screen next week. Guest appearances, tacky tie-ups -- two of the most in-demand stars are going the whole hog. We size up the handsome duo:

Do either of you know which film this famous line is from: "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers"?
Ranbir: No... but it's a very nice line.
Priyanka: I don't either.

It is from the 1951 classic, A Streetcar Named Desire.
Ranbir: Ohhhhh yes, the Marlon Brando one!

OK, a question about strangers that's closer home. Can you tell me which two stars featured in the 1976 film, Do Anjaane?
Priyanka: Aawwww ¦. ????
Ranbir: I know Amitabh Bachchan is the hero; was my mother the heroine?

No, it was Rekha. Coming back to the point ¦ have you ever been dependent on the kindness of a stranger?
Ranbir: When I was in New York, I was new to the place; I had to depend on strangers even if I had to reach some place.
Priyanka: I remember when I was travelling for my studies to Boston, USA, for the first time, I was all by myself and I had these huge bags. A lady came up to me and helped me with those bags all the way to the check-in counter. It taught me a lot about compassion.

What is the weirdest conversation you've struck up with a stranger?
Ranbir:It happened in San Francisco, while I was shooting for Anjaana Anjaani. I was walking in the night at around 2 am, and it was really cold. A beggar started singing a song about his life -- how once he had everything going for him; a good career, a good life, but how whiskey spoilt everything.

I was so impressed with his openness, I gave him money. He said that he didn't want my money, although he needed it. He gave me a string that was attached to his guitar -- I still have it on my right leg, I haven't taken it off.
Priyanka: I'm not the kind of person who will make the first move with a stranger. I always like the other person to break the ice.

Okay, once the two of you were no longer strangers, did you get to know something about the other that was a shocker?
Ranbir: She's more of a daredevil than I am -- she can pick up a snake or jump off a bridge.
Priyanka: I found that at times Ranbir can be very thoughtful ¦ but only at times (laughs).

What do you guys fight about?
Ranbir: She takes far too much time to get ready. I have become friends with her so I can take the liberty of hurrying her up with: 'How much time do you take!' She is always sweet and says, 'I'm sorry'.
Priyanka: Ranbir fights with me about my unpunctuality but forgets that I'm a girl -- he expects me to miraculously change my clothes and be ready for the shot or for a party. He fights with me. I don't. Actually, we keep fighting about everything and anything all the time. We are also constantly hitting each other.

Ranbir, how do you stop PC from going on Twitter?
Ranbir: You can't. She began the craze at a time when many of us weren't even aware of it. She loves to interact with her fans.

Priyanka, make a choice -- Steve Carell doing a pole dance or Ranbir Kapoor?
Priyanka: I actually haven't seen Steve Carell dancing, but it would be a treat to watch Ranbir doing a pole dance; you will see it in this film.

Name one stunt that you would want the other to do.
Ranbir: She really loves Shah Rukh (Khan)a lot; I want her to get into a fist fight with Shah Rukh.
Priyanka: I want him to fall in love; that has not happened to him yet.

One achievement you want to your credit before you turn 30?
Ranbir: I want to become the greatest actor, the biggest star. Age has got nothing to do with it. I want to direct movies, produce movies. I want to start a family, have children. I want to start coaching a young football team, buy a home in New York. Give all the happiness to my parents.
Priyanka: I want to sing! I want to sing!

Ranbir, Katrina's love a promotional gimmick: Salman

Ranbir, Katrina's love a promotional gimmick: Salman

There have been lots of hide and seek play when it comes to the alleged relationship between Kapoor Khandan's youngest charm Ranbir Kapoor and the beautiful actress Katrina Kaif. Now, there is a buzz that the couple is going to make their relation public by making a formal announcement.

The love birds have reportedly decided to declare their stand in public about the relationship. If sources are to be believed then Ranbir will follow the path of his cousin sexy star Kareena Kapoor and will announce his love for Katrina during the ongoing promotion of his upcoming movie Anjaana Anjaani.

Ranbir had earlier been involved with another Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone, who has decided to move on and has already chosen another partner.

But Katrina's ex Salman Khan is yet to digest the fact that his lady love has left him to opt for much younger guy Ranbir Kapoor. The Dabangg star still thinks that the much talked relationship is nothing but a promotional gimmick for their movie.

The news has been confirmed by a source, who was quoted saying that Salman considers it to be a promotional gimmick and nothing more. The actor thinks that it started when Katrina acted with Ranbir in Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahaani and the rumor was made stronger with Rajneeti.

However, the reports suggest that Ranbir and Katrina are in a romantic relationship for more than a year now and they prefer to meet each other at their houses to avoid public gossip.

A source close to Ranbir was quoted saying that the couple is very much in love. Katrina has met almost all his relatives, who have approved her and the best part is that his parents Rishi and Neetu also like her, the source added.

Katrina reportedly visits Ranbir's Bandra home often whenever Ranbir is out of town. It seems the girl is trying to be a perfect daughter-in-law of the Kapoor family.

Well, only time will disclose what's in their mind and heart, we can just wait and watch till then!

Why Mahesh Babu Exposing Little Super Star?

RGV Also Wants A Bakara Like ‘Kanna Rao’

2010-09-28T20:49:00.000+05:30

The most talked about name right now in the film nagar area is that of Kanna Rao, albeit for the wrong reasons. The buzz is that it was purely out of craze that Kanna Rao spent Rs 27 crores to get the theatrical rights of ‘Robo’ and right now, he is in a tight spot trying to sell the film.
Meanwhile, the other grapevine making rounds is that even Ram Gopal Varma is on the lookout for someone like that. As such, there are those who are crazy about him so Ramu wants to make the most of that.
However, there is a difference here.
Ramu knows how to market a film. His presence is deep across various regions so some of them say that if Kanna Rao or someone like him associates with RGV then it makes sense. However, what Ramu takes should also work with the audience and so, it depends on the bakra’s luck once the film releases.

Will It Be A Brindavanam or Ashoka Vanam?

2010-09-28T20:47:00.000+05:30

The Telugu Desam Party’s latest outburst against Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhara Rao and the open confrontation between both the parties are all set to cast a shadow on the release of “Brindavanam,” the forthcoming blockbuster of Junior N T Rama Rao.
There are apprehensions that the TRS activists, particularly its student wing, might resort to large scale vandalism at the theatres at the time of release of Brindavanam film. Apparently, worried over the reports that the frenzied Telangana youth may stop it from being screened, Jr NTR is believed to have met his uncle and TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu to do something to ensure that the release would be a smooth affair. Since he has done the film after a long gap, Jr NTR is worried about his fate and praying god that the film should not be a disaster.
Naidu is learnt to have assured him that he would be sending his party activists to counter the TRS and see that movie runs without any interruption. But, Naidu does not understand the repercussions if there is any violence due to TDP-TRS clashes. Jr NTR wants the film to be a big hit, so that it would be a sort of gift to his heart-throb Lakshmi Pranathi, daughter of real estate magnate Narne Srinivasa Rao. The young actor is all set to marry Pranathi on November 18 at HITEX in the city. On the eve of his wedding, NTR is throwing a massive reception party at the sprawling exhibition grounds. The cuisine is going to be a mix of south Indian, north Indian, Chinese and Continental.
