Until last moment we don't actually understand who is writing for them and who is handling the mantle of direction. Journey of Sardaar Gabbar Singh is a perfect example of it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another unconfirmed movie of Pawan is the one to be produced by veteran director Dasari Narayana Rao. To save this senior Telugu technician financially, it is heard that the Janasena president has committed a film. However the director of this film is the biggest confusion for anyone. Because initially Dolly (Kishore)'s name is heard, then Sampath Nandi came into picture and now choreographer Jani Master is also singing this tune.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Impressed by a story narrated by Jani master, Ram Charan has sent him to Dasari, through whom this choreographer is now getting ready to give a narration to Pawan. So, the clarity of Pawan's director for Dasari's film will occur only in New Year.</div>

Ramcharan Willing To Work With Gautham Vasudev Menon

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

There was no space for Charan to experiment in different genres because of pressure from Fans and the constricted image in which he was lying safe. But, time has come and he needs to break the barriers build around.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thus is the attempt of ‘Thani Oruvan’ Telugu remake with very strong and powerful content around medical mafia in Surender Reddy direction. Having discussed the reasons behind successive failures rocked his career, Charan is said to have been playing with the idea of doing a movie even with Gautham Vasudev Menon.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As we all know, Gautham approached Mega Power Star long time ago with a romantic-action concept which wasn’t finalized as a deal. Now, Charan is showing lot of interest towards this project. As soon as Gautham gets free from ‘Saahasam Swaasagaa Saagipo’ by early next year, we can expect more updates on his project with Charan.</div>

Tollywood Heroes : Life After Debut Films

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://timesofap.com//newsimage1/cinema/2015/11/26/Tollywood-Heroes(1).jpg?i=61303" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="img" border="0" height="213" src="http://timesofap.com//newsimage1/cinema/2015/11/26/Tollywood-Heroes(1).jpg?i=61303" width="320" /></a>Nagarjuna is pushing the distributors of “Akhil” hard to run the film despite mounting losses. Why such a huge pressure to make a debut film a super hit. Did the success or failure of debut film matter to any of the star heroes over the past two decades? An in-depth analysis.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is now official: “Akhil” has become the biggest disaster in recent times. What was meant to be a perfect launch vehicle for Akhil proved an anti-climax for Nagarjuna fans and fans of Akkineni family who were waiting for months for a dream debut. Made at a whopping budget of Rs.45 crores, the film has made distributors in both overseas and domestic markets sore over the losses piled up post-release.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Despite Nag’s involvement, the distributors are in no mood to run the film despite huge losses despite no big releases till December even as Nagarjuna has promised to compensate them for his upcoming film “Soggade Chinni Nayana”.  Note that debut films for a film-family is never a matter of life-and-death if you go by the history of debut launches over the past 25 years. They were just a formality to launch the star hero and success or mega-success didn’t dent the confidence of the film families.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The closest example to the debut of “Akhil” is the debut film of Jagapathi Babu in 1989 – “Adavilo Abhimanyudu” by Jagapathi Productions’ Rajendra Prasad. It had a similar complicated plot but good drama and emotions but the film sank without a trace. But Jagapathi Babu recovered and carved a good niche for himself in Tollywood becoming a bankable hero who was once seen as a replacement to Shoban Babu.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even for Nagarjuna’s debut film in 1985 – “Vikram”, the film was a runaway hit but ANR at that time said Nagarjuna should act in better stories and original scripts -something he took more seriously in the 1990s bringing him dramatic success.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Victory Venkatesh had a more dramatic debut in “Kaliyuga Pandavalu” with a sensational story and powerful dialogues by Parachuri Brothers and he never looked back.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pawn Kalyan‘s debut film “Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi” in 1996 is another great example of why debut doesn’t matter in the long-run. He is today one of Tollywood’s craziest stars but his debut film with Supriya bombed at the box-office as fans thought it was a routine love story without any drama. But Pawan Kalyan built his innings in the first phase with some great hits after that and created his own body language and style that has become the toast of Tollywood.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mahesh Babu has had a dramatic debut in 1999 with “Rajakumarudu” with K Raghavendra Rao as director. The film was an average success and just got registered as a launch vehicle for the Prince. It showed him as an all-rounder who can dance, fight, emote and crack comedy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
NTR Jr. is the hero who had the unluckiest debut in 2001 with “Ninnu Choodalani” launched by Ramoji Rao. The film bombed heavily at the box-office and it took “Student No.1” by SS Rajamouli to establish him as the real hero. Despite not having any Godfather, NTR Jr. struggled with a string of films before “Student No.1” which may have won him good name but not enough sizzle to be taken seriously. This includes “Bala Ramayanam” and “Ninnu Choodalani”. After 15 years, NTR Jr. is now a serious challenger to the legacy of star families, his next “Nannaku Prematho” is his 25th film. (See report 15 years of NTR Jr.)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Prabhas debuted in 2002 with an angry man look in “Eeshwar” which became a sleeper hit but later struggled for a few years before films like “Chatrapati” established him as a superstar. Of course, from the beginning, Prabhas had the persona of a Superstar who had it in him to belt out hits.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Allu Arjun debuted in 2003 with “Gangotri” with K Raghavendra Rao again as director. The film showed Arjun in a deglamorised role and became known as a musical hit but didn’t raise any expectations of him as a serious contender – it took a decade of experimentation and improvisation along with re-engineered looks to make Allu Arjun one of the most stylish stars in Tollywood who is a treat to watch in any film – whatever be the length of his role.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ram Charan’s debut film in 2007 had the right emotional connect with the audience in Puri Jagannadh directed “Chirutha”. He was an auto driver’s son in the film and had all the elements of an enchanting love story, a good revenge element and plenty of emotional and comedy scenes. The songs by Mani Sharma created the year’s biggest blockbuster and Ram Charan has arrived in the first movie itself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nag Chaitanya debuted in 2009 with “Josh” directed by Vasu Varma and launched by Dil Raju. The movie had a dramatic story with a modern message but had too many elements jumbled into one movie. It still has great TV ratings but the movie flopped beyond Nag’s imagination. Nag Chaitanya recovered with some hit movies like “Yeh Maaya Chesaave” , “100% Love” and “Manam” and is creating a brand of youthful films to his credit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What are the key messages coming from an analysis of all the debut films of the star heroes of the last decade or two? Not many except that debut films are not the only passport to stardom and superstardom of aspiring star heroes. It doesn’t make any sense to over-invest in the debut film of a star hero like Akhil who still has many years to go before he may also be catapulted to super stardom in future. It takes a lot of effort, discipline, strategy and planning to get to the top and stay in the race. There is an element of luck in the way the fans connect to the star hero but in the end a lot depends on how carefully one choses story plots and the directors in acting in films which are suited to the strengths and body-language of the respective heroes -even as the audiences expect something better and different each time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The most important thing to note is that there is higher margin for error when it comes to star heroes. Fans are more patient with them than with say someone like Naani, Sarvanand, Siddharth etc. So, chill Nagarjuna. Don’t panic because “Akhil” has flopped and don’t rush to make it a “certified” hit at the cost of the distributors. Superstars are born over atleast a decade and do not necessarily show every facet of their calibre in the first movie itself. With none of Nagarjuna’s films ever touching a collection figure of Rs.40 crores, it is foolish to make a film on a budget of Rs.45 crores and then push your luck hard to make it a deemed hit. There is life after this “Akhil” provided they learn from the debacle. And there is life after a debut film, even if it is a flop.</div>

Already we've revealed that Mega hero Allu Sirish is trying his luck with the hosting of the event that will be held in Hyderabad. This first every southern version of IIFA Awards is having another mega reason to celebrate.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the first time ever, Mega Powerstar Ram Charan is going to perform live for the event. He will be dancing on the stage along with his set of dancers who are all being trained by popular event choreographer Shiamak Davar who Shiamak Dance Academy is very famous. Already Charan is practicing his moves along with this team, as he will dance for a medley of Chiranjeevi's past super hits and then a bunch of songs from his own films and also from Bunny, Varun and Saidharam's movies. That will be a mega treat to watch for sure.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
On movies front, Ram Charan is yet to start his next film post the disappointed result of Bruce Lee. Probably he will kick start Thani Oruvan remake under the direction of Surender Reddy. Watch this space for updates.</div>

Rudhramadevi Vs Bruce Lee: Another Fight

After Gunasekhar's wife and daughter clarified that they have nothing against "Bruce Lee" and thanked mega fans for their support in making the film a hit, war of words between fans who took sides have cooled down.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While veteran director Dasari's words have ignited flares between cinema lovers, Allu Arjun, who played Gona Ganna Reddy in the movie, has sorted out the release placement issue. And now, mega fans are hurt with media houses regarding the injustice, as per their views, being meted out to Bruce Lee in the disguise of Rudhramadevi. Almost all the media houses are terming Ram Charan's latest movie "Bruce Lee" as utter flop, while "Rudhramadevi" as an above average film. Now, here's the logic being put by mega fans. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Bruce Lee is called utter flop, for the 16 crores loss, as it made only 41 crores 'share' at box office against the 56 crores doled out for theatrical rights. But Rudhramadevi made only 50+ crores 'share' while theatrical rights are acquired for 75+ crores, resulting in 25 crores loss, and still it's called an average farer. If collections matter to decide hits and flops, then how's this logic explained?" asking mega fans on social network sites. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, this could be explained easily. Even after declared an utter flop on first day, it's Ram Charan's box office stamina that made 41 crores for Bruce Lee, while Rudhrama's capacity is only 55+ crores very hardly even though it got average talk on first day. Why compare Charan's star power with Rudhrama fans? Approach earth from the other way!!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As per the latest reports, the film’s makers recently approached acclaimed Bollywood cinematographer Aseem Mishra to crank the camera for the remake. Apparently, Aseem watched the Tamil version and expressed his interest in working on the Telugu remake.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aseem Mishra is well known for his work in films like the recently released Phantom and Salman Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Ek That Tiger and Dabangg 2, to name a few. An official confirmation is awaited from the makers regarding Aseem’s inclusion in the film’s crew.</div>

Ram Charan Remuneration Cut Down!

<a href="http://timesofap.com//newsimage1/cinema/2015/11/16/ram-charan.jpg?i=51937" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="img" border="0" height="213" src="http://timesofap.com//newsimage1/cinema/2015/11/16/ram-charan.jpg?i=51937" width="320" /></a>Generally Tollywood star heroes charge nothing less than Rs. 5 to 15 Crores per each film depending upon their past track record and present market value. Producers whoever are ready to invest on them have to get at least these amounts first to block the hero call sheets before setting other combinations. While no one knows the exact figures at which our star heroes work but latest buzz heard in film circles is Mega Power Star Ramcharan has decided to cut down the remuneration for his next film to be produced by DVV Danayya.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In fact, Danayya happens to be the same producer who lost decent amounts on ‘Bruce Lee.’ In order not to strain his producer any more, Charan has not only decided to cut a big portion of his pay cheque for ‘Thani Oruvan’ remake but also gave enough flexibility in payment norms. Charan is also not going to accept any advance amount from Danayya and only if the film secures enough profits recovering past losses, he will take a share in profits from ‘Thani Oruvan’ remake.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This could be a big respite for Danayya presently accumulating the needful finances to begin the production works. Meanwhile, Surender Reddy is working very hard in making necessary changes to the original Tamil script. Good to see, everyone struck to their respective jobs.</div>

Ram Charan's Interest On Comic MLA Candidate

Of course he's busy touring in the USA for his personal pleasure. Taking a break from hectic schedules of work that have made him tiresomely take part in shootings and promotions for 5 months, he's spending quality time abroad. Here is an interesting news being heard about him.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A news is doing rounds that Charan wants to buy the remake rights of a Tamil movie which hasn't become a runaway hit at box office but managed to get critical appreciation. Title of the film is '49-o' and it has veteran Tamil comedian Gounder Mani in the lead. It's all about Gounder's comedy where he contests for an MLA post as an independent and how he wins. Reports are arriving that Charan wants this film to be remade in Telugu under his upcoming production house, White Horse Entertainment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Looking at this comedy film, we can't imagine that this is either for Chiranjeevi's 150th film or for Charan himself. So, rumours in those lines could be put off, while much clarity on '49 O' will come only after Charan speaks up.</div>

Family Wars Inevitable In Tollywood!

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://timesofap.com//newsimage1/cinema/2015/11/13/Tollywood-heros.jpg?i=28254" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="img" border="0" height="213" src="http://timesofap.com//newsimage1/cinema/2015/11/13/Tollywood-heros.jpg?i=28254" width="320" /></a>Going by the current trends happening in Telugu Film Industry, it seems like internal family wars are going to be unstoppable here. Especially when there is an argument that outsiders are not finding enough theatres and chances to make it big in the industry, analysts feel that even the family-backed heroes might slip into trouble soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As we confirmed already, NTR's Nannaku Prematho and Balayya's Dictator are arriving on January 8th and 14th respectively. Two biggies from the same Nandamuri family are arriving in just a week gap, and 30% of fans are unlikely to pick both. Because it's the question of money for many middle-class people and C-centre folks. They will be picking only those films that give them maximum satisfaction for ticket money. Even family audiences will also think in similar way. After Balayya recedes from acting career, then Mokshagna is likely to enter the scene. Then we will have Jr NTR, Mokshagna, Kalyan Ram fighting from Nandamuri family for placements. So, the one who delivers better content will have more chances of succeeding than everyone.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Coming to Mega family, this set of heroes enjoy the biggest threat from each other. Barring Pawan Kalyan, we have Charan, Bunny, Saidharam, Varun Tej and Sirish in the game. As these heroes are continuously making films, at one point films of their cousins are likely to clash with them. If arrangements are made for two weeks gap, no doubt the same middle class money troubles will play the bigger role and fans are likely to wait and watch the best film among the two. Same is the case with Akkineni family who has Nagarjuna, Chaitu, Akhil and sometimes Sushanth in the race. With this family inclined towards romantic films most of time, their producers might eye similar seasons, making the Brand Akkineni lock horns with each other.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another scenario is that, if not family wars, wars with friends are also inevitable. Charan is likely to face Akhil and Rana one day; Bunny might get Prabhas in his way; and so on. With two many heroes running for the show, these wars can't be avoided. Even if they plan very cautiously, our ways of missing release dates, delaying production and unnecessary postponements will lead only to a fight at box office.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Responding on all these rumours, Bruce Lee producer DVV Danayya confirmed that there is no question of any such thing like 'compensation' or return of money. Also he stated that no distributor has lost big chunks of money and whatever the loss incurred is a thing of business and there is nothing to worry about.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

On the other hand, DVV Danayya was supposed to produce 'Thani Oruvan' remake, but that may not happen say rumour mills as Geetha Arts is producing it.</div>

A few months ago, he completed Amarnath Yatra for his mother and it is known that he takes Ayyappa Deeksha almost every year and is often spotted talking about his favorite god Hanuman. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The actor is also a great admirer of Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, founder of Isha Foundation. Apparently, his father, Chiranjeevi and uncle Pawan Kalyan are also known to be quite spiritual. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Recently, Charan met spiritual guru, author and public speaker, Deepak Chopra in California and was stunned by his works. "Very happy to have met #DeepakChopra- the new age spiritual guru. His books on the scientific approach to Ayurveda and spirituality have blown my mind. Do check him out guys!! #SanDiego #bliss #California", he posted on his official Facebook page. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Deepak Chopra, who was also happy to meet the actor have sent a video message to all his fans and said that it was great to meet the star. </div>

Ram Charan's shocker on remuneration?

But insiders reveal that he is taking steps in such a way that his upcoming entertainer Thani Oruvan remake under the direction of Surender Reddy will not misfire in any manner. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thani Orvan script is driven by strong story and it will not have any masala in the action thriller. Filmmakers decided to make it in a grand manner though they can finish it off in low budget. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is coming out that Ram Charan is not receiving any remuneration for the film. Sources say Cherry decided to do the film on profit sharing basis. Inside talk is since the film's budget increases by 10crs if he takes the remuneration,he decided to do it in a profit sharing manner.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He feels it is safe to get lower than what he gets as remuneration rather than increase the film budget due to star presence. He is thinking of the film's reach with low budget. Many feel Cherry has taken a bold step by refusing to take remuneration even though many filmmakers are ready to offer him more than 12crs.</div>

DVV Danayya & NV Prasad were likely to produce the new venture.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, The resullt of 'Bruce Lee' is making Ram Charan think choosing another Producer in place of Danayya will help the business of the movie. If Danayya produces 'Thani Oruvan' remake, Distributors & Exhibitors who burnt their hands with 'Bruce Lee' might mount pressure on the makers to offer them theatrical rights for a much reasonable price. If the buzz is to be believed, Mega Producer sensed a big opportunity here.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Insiders say, Allu Aravind is keen on producing 'Thani Oruvan' remake. The reason behind it is the fact that its a potential script and just the dialogue version is to be written. In addition, Charan wishes to wrap the shooting in 4-5 months and this move could save close to Rs 8 crore for the Producer.</div>
