Mega Powerstar Ram Charan is likely to join forces with director Sampath Nandi for a new movie. The actor, who is struggling to regain his lost glory at the box office, is soon going to meet the director to discus about the project, says the buzz in the tinsel town. The film is likely to be titled Chota Mesthri. Earlier today Sampath stated that he is working on a script for a big hero and is contemplating to register Chota Mesthri as the title. He also announced that he will be narrating the script to the hero soon. In all probability the film will have Ram Charan as the hero and will go onto the sets in the second half of 2016, reveals our source. Sampath Nandi and Ram Charan had earlier delivered blockbuster hit Racha. Interestingly, the film came at the right time after disastrous Orange. Since Ram Charan is going through similar phase now, hope his film with Sampath recreate the magic of Racha at the box office. Meanwhile, Sampath Nandi's next release Bengal Tiger featuring Ravi Teja, Tamannah and Rashi Khanna in lead roles is ready to hit the screens on December 10.
Young Tiger NTR and critically acclaimed director Sukumar have joined hands for Nannaku Prematho. Touted to be a revenge drama, the film has been in the news for all the wrong reasons due to its delayed shooting schedules. Adding to that, intense speculations were doing rounds about the release of the film. Putting rest to all of them, producer BVSN Prasad has released a press release stating that the movie will hit the screens on January 13. That means, the NTR starrer is in Pongal fray and will lock horns with Balakrishna's Dictator which is also hitting the screens during the same time. This is for the first time that NTR and Balakrishna are fighting it out for the box office supremacy. Currently, the shooting of Nannaku Prematho is progressing in Spain and the makers are expected to return to the city by December 20. The film's audio will be launched in the last week of December. Jagapathi Babu, Rajendra Prasad, Rajeev Kanakala, Avasarala Srinivas and Sitara are playing important roles. Devi Sri Prasad is scoring the music.
Actress Shruti Haasan recently joined the sets of her upcoming Telugu film Majnu, the official remake of the Malayalam blockbuster film Premam. She will be reprising Sai Pallavi’s role of Malar teacher in the remake. Few leaked shooting spot stills of Shruti Haasan are disseminating in social forums over the past few days. One can sense a lot of negativity around Shruti being cast in this role since most Premam fans feel that Sai Pallavi’s performance is unmatchable. Some fans are also going overboard and having a field day with mocking Memes. It is sad to see a successful actress like Shruti Haasan, who has been ruling the roost in three of the top film industries in India - Bollywood, Kollywood and Tollywood, being criticized for acting in a film even before she could showcase her work to us. We feel Shruti is a multifaceted actress who has given us some very nice performances in the past and lets wait and watch the film before passing further comments. All the best Shruti Haasan and team Majnu! Another memorable teacher character ahead ?
Two undeniably big stars that the Tamil film industry possesses are Ajith and Vijay. Both the artists started their careers around the same timeframe and went on to earn large fanfare over a period of time. With more than 50 odd films done by both stars, very few directors have actually managed to earn successes with both of them. Among the list, it is only Vikraman, SJ Suryah, Vasanth, AR Murugadoss and Ezhil who’ve given Hit films with both Thala and Thalapathy. Vikraman - Poove Unakaaga (Vijay) and Unnidathil Ennai Koduthen (Ajith) Vasanth - Nerruku Ner (Vijay) and Aasai (Ajith) SJ Suryah - Kushi (Vijay) and Vaali (Ajith) A.R.Murugadoss - Thuppakki / Kaththi (Vijay) and Dheena (Ajith) Ezhil - Thulladha Manamum Thullum (Vijay) and Poovellam Un Vaasam (Ajith) The above directors had the capacity and vision to accommodate both these diverse actors in their scripts and taste victory. Vikraman prioritized the story and had Vijay and Ajith playing pivotal roles in them, but S.J.Suryah gave a whole new different edge to these contemporaries. Vasanth, on the contrary, dwelled on the emotions of the story more than anything else. But when Ajith and Vijay were fully established as frontline heroes, AR Murugadoss capitalized on their star-power and made blockbuster films. Congrats to these directors who are part of this elite list. Have we missed any?
