Abhiman attended this function

Dasari launched the audio and gave the first unit to Srikanth. Bhumika Chawla launched the audio cassette and gave the first unit to TV9 Ravi Prakash.

Dasari said, "Sivaji is a hard working guy who came up to this level from the stage of nothing. It is alaways advisable for all heroes to have a home banner so that they could go ahead and do different films. I wish Sivaji all the best for his first production venture."

TV9 Ravi Prakash said, "I am surprised by the way Sivaji and Srikanth worked hard for collecting donations in Vizag. That is the reason why I attended this function."

Srikanth said, "I acted in a film titled Taj Mahal around 14 years back. I am sure that this Taj Mahal will also become a blockbuster."

Sivaji said, "Though my father brought me up in a nice manner, I had to stay empty stomach in my youth. I didn't come to Hyderabad to become a hero. I came here for employment. I worked as an editor and got acquainted with all the departments of filmmaking. I do dub for other actors even today. I have no ego trips. I became a hero and now turning into producer. I keep doing justice to my work as an actor."

Abhiman said, "I got success in Kannada after 9 years through Taj Mahal movie. And it was a huge surprise when Sivaji asked me to score music for Telugu version as well. I am hopeful of the success of movie."

The function started off after a few minor glitches. Devi Sri Prasad performed for a song. Shraddha Das joined him to croon Mr. Perfect song. Allu Arjun, Navadeep, Kajal Agarwal and Shraddha Das danced on the stage for Mr. Perfect song.

Prabhas and Nagababu jointly released the audio CD and Rajamouli and VV Vinayak jointly received it. Dil Raju, Maganti Babu, Seenu Vytla, Varun Sandesh, Aryan Rajesh and Meher Ramesh launched a song each.

Navadeep said that he is doing a normal character (other than main lead) for the first time in his career.

Shraddha Das thanked the entire cast and crewmembers.

Sukumar is the Mr. Perfect - VV Vinayak
VV Vinayak said, "Sukumar is Mr. Perfect. All of us directors have the habit of compromising at certain points of filmmaking. But Sukumar is the only director I know who doesn't compromise at any cost. Bunny is going to rock in the movie."

Sukumar will take Telugu film industry to the next level - SS Rajamouli
SS Rajamouli said, "I got frightened when I watched Arya film. Sukumar is a top class director who can take the Telugu cinema to the next level. Devi Sri Prasad has the uncanny ability of coming up with energetic songs for each and every movie of his. His music gives instance kick at the first listening itself. I am sure that Ringa Ringa song will be the chartbuster for the entire next year."

Prahas said, "I like bunny a lot. I came to Arya function and predicted that it would become a blockbuster. I am sure that Arya 2 will become bigger hit than Arya. Devi Sri Prasad has given the best songs of my career and I am happy that he gave better music for Arya."

Anna Maata - Kajal Agarwal
Kajal Agarwal said, "Arya 2 is close to my heart and had a great time shooting for this movie. Sukumar has the strange habit of adding anna maata to every sentence he speaks and we tease him on that."

Arya 2 story is different from Arya - Aditya
Producer Aditya Babu said, "There is a misconception that Arya 2 is a sequel to Arya film. But it is not a sequel. The story is different. However, the characterizations are the same. I would like to thank each and every person who worked for this project."

Thanks to Rajamouli for his words - Sukumar
Director Sukumar said, "I was disappointed after Jagadam's flop. That is when Rajamouli came to me and told me not to get disappointed by the result. He asked me to stick to my conviction and moviemaking style. His advice gave me lot of confidence. It was Bhogavally Prasad who fed me for an year after the flop of Jagadam. Bunny okayed the project without knowing about the story. Allu Arjun supported me a lot before starting the project though he troubled me after the start of shoot. I would like to thank the producers Aditya Babu and Bhogvally Prasad."

The hot and raunchy sex siren Shraddha Das showcased her hidden talent during an interview that she gave sometime back. She sang two lines from a song from one of her flicks "Adhineta" which bombed at the box office. However, many were impressed by her singing abilities.

She was said to have a good voice and talent for singing. Many well wishers feel that she should get an opportunity to render her voice for some songs. Let us wait and see if she does get an opportunity to prove her other talent as well.

Her acting career is just about stabilizing at this moment as she will soon be seen in the new movie 'Arya 2' alongside the talented Navadeep.

Dil Raju's film with NTR Junior is finally beginning sometime in the second half of November. The film is directed by Vamsi Paidipalli (Munna was his debut film, which bombed at the BO). Rumouredly Trisha is the female lead.

It may be recalled that Trisha was to star opposite the young star in a couple of films earlier, but things did not materialise. However this time things seem to be in place for her to be cast opposite a star actor like NTR.

Though there has been no formal confirmation from Dil Raju, gossip circles are saying that she is the final choice. As the film goes on floors in less than 20 days, there are unlikely to be last minute changes.

'Koffi Bar' is the film being made by popular filmmaker Geetha Krishna. He had been away for the movie industry for some time and he is making a comeback with this flick. According to sources, this flick is a trilingual and is being made in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada.

Speaking about the movie, the director said that the movie is 50% complete. The canning seems to be going on at Hyderabad at the moment. The movie stars the talented hero Shashank and a pretty girl Biyanka Desai in the lead.

It is expected to be a youthful entertainer and at the same time, there is a strong message to the audience in it.

Geetha Krishna who has made films like Kokila, Keechurallu and Sankeerthana has now embarked upon a new film. The film titled Koffi Bar has so far completed 40 per cent of the shooting. Geetha Krishna is also the producer and is also scoring the music for the film. The film will be distributed in the US by Adlabs.

The film is a good entertainer and will look at the present day situation and will also touch upon terrorism. The film stars many newcomers. Girish Karnad and Om Puri will be among the lead star cast.

Review

Story Bendu Appa Rao (Allari Naresh) is a RMP doctor in a village. He is known for funny ways of curing people and earning more money than what he deserves. He dupes people to earn money so that he could send that money to his sister who is tortured by her cruel husband for money. He falls in love with a rich girl Padma (Kamna Jetmalani). At one point of time, a dieing person gives Appa Rao gives his earnings of 15 lacs and asks him to pass it on to his family. But Appa Rao couldn't locate that family. The rest of the story is all about what happens when he finds the family at a later point of time. Artists Performance Bendu Appa Rao character is like a cakewalk for Allari Naresh. Allari Naresh has invented his own style of comedy and this movie perfectly complement his strengths. Kamna Jetmalani seems to have got some cosmetic work done to her nose and she is looking very glamorous in this movie. She did well in acting department. Meghana Raj is adequate. Srinivas Reddy and Uttej did the roles of hero's friends and they generated comedy. The characters of Suman Setty, Raghubabu, Dharmavarapu, Kondavalasa, Krishna Bhagawan and Ali are good. Ahuti Prasad steals the show again as heroine's father who is excessively fond of being a great host. Telangana Sakuntala is adequate. Technical departments Story - screenplay - directon: The basic story of the movie is old-fashioned, but balances comedy and sentiment well. Screenplay of the film is neatly woven. You can see vintage EVV in this movie in terms of comedy and entertainment value. The comedy timing is very good. Most of the comedy is village-based. All the characters are written well to serve the entertainment purpose. However the entire story is predictable. Other departments: Dialogues in the movie deserves an applause for the comedy quotient. Music by Koti resembles his music for EVV movies in 90's. Cinematography is adequate. Production values by Suresh Productions banner are decent. Analysis: EVV seem to have found his vintage comic timing in this movie. He could able to generate comedy well in this movie, though he had done innumerable comedy flicks of this nature in 1990's. Offlate, he lost touch with the pulse of audiences. With Bendu Appa Rao, EVV proves that he is still in the race. The plus points of the movie are Allari Naresh and comedy. On the flip side, the entire movie is like an old-fashioned one. On a whole, Allari Naresh comes up with another decent comedy flick after his last hit Blade Babji. This movie has enough potential to make money at box office for it's entertainment value. You may watch it for entertainment.

Story

Chotu (Prabhas) is born to poor parents. A beggars mafia guy steals Chotu to make him a beggar. Chotu grows up as an informer to the cops. And he calls himself as 'bounty hunter'. His duty is to catch the criminals on behalf of police and earn some money from the cops for doing their duty. He falls in love with a guitar music teacher Sameera (Kangana Raunat) and her brother happens to be a mafia guy whom Chotu is entrusted to nab. Johnny (Sonu Sood) is a mafia kingpin in the city. The rest of the story is all about what happens when Johnny encounters Chotu and when Chotu has multiple responsibility of apprehending and saving the same guy.

Artists Performance

Prabhas's characterization in this movie is an extention of his character in Puri Jagan's Bujjigadu - made in Chennai. Prabhas is adorable with his mass language with godavari dialect. He is charming with his carefree demeanor. Kangana Raunat who looked fabulous in Hindi flicks like Gangster and Fashion seemed out of place in this Telugu film. She is just average. Sonu Sood walks away with honors, thanks to terrific characterization by Puri Jagan. He played the role of a sadistic villain and entertains us with funny dialogues. Brahmaji did another terrific character in this movie after his cameo in Athadu film. The pair of Sonu Sood and Brahmaji is hilarious. Brahmanandam's comedy in not upto the mark. Ali is wasted as a magician in 'Jack Sparrow' get-up. Venu Madhav and Sunil characters are partly entertaining. Posani Krishna Murali provides humor as a cunning politician. Mukul Dev and Tanikella Bharani are adequate. The kid who did the mimicry is good. Makrand Deshpande suited the role well and he adds value to the movie. Half of his dialogues are in written in Hindi for his convenience.

Technical departments

Story - screenplay - directon: Story of the movie is about a son in search of his parents. The characterization of Prabhas is extended from their last movie Bujjigadu and you can see some shades of Pokiri in this movie too. Direction by Puri Jagan is good. But the screenplay should have been better in the second half. The characterizations of villain and hero are good. And there is nice confrontation scenes between them. Puri Jagan who has shown promise in the first half of the movie couldn't carry the same element of interest in the second half. The last twenty minutes of the movie is a downer. I liked the point at which he closed the movie instead of showing some routine and dramatic reunion in the end.

Other departments: Music by Mani Sharma is very good. All songs are canned well on the screen. The title song Ek Niranjan is excellent. Evaru Lerani song is very good. There is a tribute to Michael Jackson in the last song of the movie. This song is nicely edited with some rare footage of MJ. Dialogues by Puri Jagan deserves a special appreciation. The dialogues penned for Prabhas and Sonu Sood are excellent. The dialogues before 'evaru lerani' song (heroine proposal scene) are really good. Puri Jagan has made it a habit to make heroine call hero 'naa kodaka' in his recent movies. Cinematography by Shyam K Naidu is nice. Editing by Varma is adequate. Fights are good. The climax fight should have been impact-making.

Analysis: First half of the movie is entertaining. Second half is also adequate but for the last twenty minutes. The graph of the movie goes down from the time the story shifts to Bangkok. The plus points are Prabhas, dialogues and music. On the flip side the second half should have been better and the violence should have been toned down. On a whole, Ek Niranjan is a not a bad film. We have to wait and see how the masses receive it.

Genelia is the next from the tinsel town to step into the television industry. The actress will be soon seen hosting a reality show a popular channel, however in Hindi.



“Yes, I am getting ready for the game. TV is totally new to me. The theme is so interesting. Hence I accepted the offer,” says the actress, who is successful in four languages- Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi.

Revealing her fitness secret, Genelia says, “I am basically an athlete. I was a State level runner and I played for National football team. Hence, I am fit. I don’t stay away from any kind of food. If I like something, I binge onto it. I love biriyani, even if it’s oily,” she says.”

As an actress with experience in four languages, which one do you prefer to act? To this question, the bubbly actress’s answer is: “I enjoy doing films in all languages. Script is the first factor I look into. I don’t mind doing a five-minute role if it’s worth it. Secondly I should have comfort level with director/producer I work with. Language is never the criterion for me.”

Telugu Movie Mahatma is released on 9th oct 2009

The film is 100th film of actor Srikanth which is based on the present day social and political scenario.

Srikanth plays a charectar of a rowdy called Das who gets attracted to the film industry. And then he gets influenced by the ideologies of Mahatma Gandhi.

The film revolves around Das character. Charmi’s skimpy item song is the highlight of the movie.

Actor Srikanth enthusiastic performance along with interesting movements in the movie is an asset of the film.

‘Mahatma’ songs would defintely be a virtual treat to the audience.

‘Mahatma’ movie music
is scored by ‘Srikanth Deva’
