Ravi Teja








One more hot babe joins Mass Maha Raja

One more hot babe joins Mass Maha Raja , Raviteja upcoming commercial entertainer ‘Balupu under Gopichand Malineni direction.

Lakshmi Rai is roped in for a special appearance in Ravi Teja’s Balupu. The director wanted an actress with lot of oomph for the role and Lakshmi Rai was his first choice after seeing her curves in Balakrishna’s Adhinayakudu.

Shruthi Hasan and Anjali as heroines, Gopichand Mallineni is directing the movie produced by Param V Potluri under the PVP Cinemas banner.


Balupu delay hurting Ravi Teja

One more set back to Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja who is suffering a bad time in his career with series of flops.

Ravi Teja has planned his come back with his upcoming film ‘Balupu’ this summer and concentrating on this film giving his 100% for the film. But the movie is getting delayed by a month and will release in June .

Due to improper planning, the movie shooting is not yet completed, the final schedule and that the post production work will begin soon after the completion of this schedule.

Shruthi Hasan and Anjali as heroines, Gopichand Mallineni is directing the movie produced by Param V Potluri under the PVP Cinemas banner.


Mass Raja Should Start Shouting

For any movie to succeed at Box Office, publicity is the key. Moreover if the hero featuring in that movie is running through a rough patch, only hype will save him.

After delivering six consecutive flops in a row, it became tough for Mass Raja Raviteja to attract both distributors and audiences for his flicks. At this juncture, Raviteja should focus more on the hype part of his flicks rather coming silently to hit silver screen. Right now he has 'Balupu' in his hand and the teaser of this flick created some mileage long back. With the arrival of trailers of many new movies like Baadshah, Thoofan, Greeku Veerudu and special pictures of Iddarammyilatho, the hype for Balupu is going down. Time for Raviteja to realize this hype stuff and should start shouting loud.

When a movie like Thoofan that hasn't got its released fixed is doing lots of hungama, a movie like Balupu that is planning to hit theatres in April-May should starting doing something more.


Raviteja's Hot Song On Heroine's Age

One super masala hot song is enough to help promote a flick big way, and our Mass Raja is quite aware of this. Here is an interesting titbit about his upcoming song that looks quite happening.

Generally we see songs on age of hot-bombs as item-songs in Telugu movies. Mumaith's song in Pokiri is an example of it that goes 'Ippatikinka Na Vayasu Ninda Padaharey'. But now our mass-raja is singing a song praising the hotness of heroine who is in a right age of sensuality and for romance. 'Paathikella Chinnadi...' is the latest tune Ravi Teja is grooving too alongside red hot siren Shruti Haasan. This is a part of 'Balupu' movie which is getting shot at Ramoji Film City right now.

Sources revealed that Ravi Teja will be seen in a 'pakka' mass avatar in this song praising the beauty of hot girl Shruti will all possible masala superlatives. Shruti Haasan is also going for a complete masala look to enthral B & C centre audiences. Once again Thaman is composing for Ravi Teja, and we have to really wait for this song.


Raviteja's Balupu in Vijayawada

Contrary to the rumors that Shilpakala Vedika will host the audio release of Ravi Teja-starrer Balupu, the makers have surprised everyone with their move. The film’s director Gopichand Malineni said that the unit is planning to roll out the audio in Vijayawada in April.

Producer Potluri Prasad is planning to lock the audio launch date shortly and release the film in May. Ravi Teja will be seen romancing Shruti Haasan in the film while actress Anjali and Adivi Sesh are playing important roles. Musical scores are by Thaman.


Ravi Teja’s strict warning to director

Tollywood lady director Nandini Reddy who started her career with ‘Ala Modalaindi’ with Nani , grabbed dates for ‘Jabardasth’ with Siddharth with a black spot on her career by copying scripts.

In her debut flick Ala Modalaindi, references can be found to various Hollywood movies like ‘Harry Met Sally’ etc. And her latest ‘Jabardasth’ is a free-make of B-town movie ‘Band Baaja Baaraat’. Buzz is that Nandini is going to join hands with Raviteja for her third flick and one will wonder from which movie she lifts scenes now.

Insiders revealed that hero Raviteja has given a strict warning to Nandini Reddy over these ‘mass copy’ acts. Though she can copy, this time people should not understand where she copied from, seems to be the instruction. Let us see how it goes.


Raviteja’s Pelli Choopulu

One of the star-heroes of Telugu industry is right now struggling to deliver one perfect film that satisfies his fans. They say that his ‘Pelli Choopulu’ will be the perfect meat for all such worries.

Mass Raja Raviteja is having bundles of energy that is going in negative directions these days. But the mass-star is making sure that such mistakes will not repeat with ‘Balupu’. Director Gopichand Malineni is said to be canning some hilarious ‘Pelli Choopulu’ scenes on our hero, which will make audiences pop out of seats in the first half of the flick. Writer Kona Venkat is said to be the man behind these funny episodes, which are touted to be some fine comic knocks in the coming days. But we have to see how far all these comic weapons help Ravi Teja loot the pockets of audiences.

‘Balupu’ is expected to hit theatres in this summer and the movie got sold out in many areas already. But what surprises everyone is why the producers are not able to come up with a release date for the flick.


Balupu director’s V-day turns M-day

Tollywood filmmaker, Gopichand Malineni Valentines Day turns to be an important day in his life. Gopi, who directed Don Seenu and Bodyguard, is getting married on Valentines Day.

The director will tie the knot with Shree Satya from West Godavari district, at Eluru, after which he will host a grand reception for the film fraternity in Hyderabad.

Gopichand is currently working on Balupu, starring Ravi Teja, Shruti Haasan and Anjali.

With Ramgopal verma’s ’Dongala Muta’ his fate turned completely followed by flop movies like Veera,Nippu,Daruvu,Devudu Chesina Manaushulu & Sarocharu. It seems RGV bad luck haunting Ravi Teja too. Hope he come out of jinx and show his ‘Balupu’ again.


Sarocharu Movie Review


Bad sentiment haunts 'Sarocharu' !

Mass Maharaja ‘Ravi Teja’ latest romantic drama ‘Sarocharu’ is all set to release tomorrow with a bad sentiment associated with the release.

This movie is coming as underdog without much hype and without Raviteja’s type masala elements. Movie has been awarded a clean ‘U’ , the first one for this hero in 2012. ‘Sarocharu’ carrying a positive talk and enough entertainment in the movie.

The only bad sentiment is worrying Ravi Teja fans, earlier Raviteja’s ‘Devudu Chesina Manushulu’ was released on the same day of Salman khan’s ‘EkThaTiger ‘ and the movie was utter flop and now it’s happening again for Raviteja’s Sarocharu releasing with salman’s Dabangg2.

Kajal and Richa Gangopadhya as heroines, Nara Rohit is seen in guest role. Music by Devi Sri Prasad ,directed by Parushuram and produced by Ashwini Dutt under Three Angels banner.


Kajal Is Comedy Piece Of First Half!

Beauty Kajal Agarwal proved her acting talent long back, but she rose to a new level when she excelled in comic timing in Prabhas' 'Darling' movie. That is now making our makers to cast her as a 'comedy piece' in the first half of movies.

In two upcoming films, seductress Kajal will be donning the role of lover who makes lot of fun. Both in Naayak and in Sarocharu, she will be sizzling mainly in first half and the second half goes to someone else. Insiders revealed that the second half of Charan's Naayak will be an ample treat of Amala Paul, while the second half of Sarocharu will be dominated by Bengali siren Richa Gangopadhyay. Cine analysts say that if Kajal continues to star in these half-time flicks, then her market will go down slowly. Because, if in movie the second heroine dominates the show, then our makers will run after her leaving Kajal aside.

From Kajal's side, she is very confident however that she is a package of both glamour and acting, so no competition could scare her at least for a couple of years. 'Sarocharu' is hitting screens on December 21st anyway, so let's wait for it to watch Kajal's magic.


'Sarocharu' story is out

Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja’s ‘Sarocharu’ is heading for its release on 21st of this month. Ravi Teja is playing a foot ball coach in the film. Revealing about the film, Director Parasuram said, “Every girl has her own dreams about how her prospective husband or lover should be. Sarocharu is one such film in which both the actresses fall in love with the hero, but in the end, only one girl succeeds in winning his heart. You’ll have to watch the film to find out who that lucky girl is.”

Devi Sri Prasad has composed the music and the audio got good response. Kajal Agarwal and Richa Gangopadhyay are female leads in the romantic entertainer. Parasuram is directing the film while Priyanka Dutt is producing it under Three Angels Studio Pvt Ltd banner and Ashwini Dutt is presenting it under Vijayanthi Movies banner.


UPP Not Working For Raviteja's Movie

Massraja Raviteja is all set to hit the tinsel town with a fourth movie to end this year. Struggling with flops, the hero wants to make sure that his fate will be turned in farewell month. But is that going to happen?

Raviteja is all set to enthral audiences once again with his 'Sarocharu' and the movie will be releasing in last week of December. However, the big minus for this movie is avoiding audio function and that failed the super hit audio given by Devi Sri Prasad to reach audiences. Not stopping there the makers have been airing some interview style promos of the flick in the name of 'Unique Publicity Plan' to create hype. Unfortunately, the unclear sound in those promos is taking further toll as none are able to understand them properly. Finally, no press meet or no publicity hungama is worrying distributors and they are right now pressurizing producer Ashwini Dutt to do something.

Except FM stations, none of the media are right now helping 'Sarocharu' to get hype and we have to see what will Raviteja do to taste first success in 2012.


Ravi Teja’s wrong attitude

Achieving success is not just about working hard and having good talent one should also have the right kind of attitude to create a goodwill and then keep it. This is a very important requirement in the film industry. But it looks like after starting like a good boy, hero Ravi Teja seems to have lost it.

The topic in film circles is about the Mass Maharaja’s wrong attitude which is already showing its effect on his films. It is heard that Ravi Teja worked in the past few films solely with the objective of making money and whoever paid him the advance, he had reportedly given his dates and started shooting without focusing on the script or his roles.

This resulted in continuous flops. And now it is heard that he has stopped coming from promoting his film. This is reportedly the situation with his new film ‘Saarocharu’. Sources say Ravi Teja has been abstaining from taking part in any promotion activity. The film is due for release on December 21st and till now no one is hearing much about it. Even the audio release happened silently. If all this is true about Ravi Teja then it is going to be the end of his already downfallen career.


Mass Maharaja turns Romantic star

Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja turned into a romantic star targeting family audience sharing screen space with the saucy seductress Kajal Aggarwal & Richa for the movie ‘ Sarocharu’.

Sarocharu has a beautiful beautiful romantic track in which Raviteja plays role of husband for Richa . Both of them were looked as real married couple . Their gestures showing their desires towards each other.

Director Parasuram is reputed for filming his good romantic tracks and he is now handling this project. Ravi Teja is in a new avatar as a coach in this movie and Ashwini Dutt is the producer. ‘ Sarocharu’ is slated for release on December 29 th.


Raviteja’s Sarocharu not a perfect Love story

Tollywood’s minimum guarantee hero , producer favorite hero Ravi Teja has turned into flop hero with no hits to his credit for last two years. His has full hopes on his upcoming classy flick Sarocharu movie.

Ravi Teja’s up coming film Sarocharu audio was released without any huge publicity in a simple way . And its trailer is also fresh and good to see without any Raviteja’s mark of extra dose. The album is good to listen.

The trailer has a punch line ’The perfect Love story need not always be Perfect’ . Sources say The movie is an emotional drama made with a intense flashback formula with good dose of entertainment and seriousness added to it. Surly Raviteja will break his jinx with his family drama.

Yamudiki Mogudu has to face tough competition with Raviteja ‘Sarocharu’ at box office. Naresh is riding high with sudden star status and Ravi Teja lost his Mass Maha Raja title with series of flops films in recent times. If Naresh can beat Raviteja this time , he will occupy Raviteja’s position.

OMG not with Pawan , Raviteja !

Earlier we have reported about producer Koneru Kiran has bought the Telugu remake rights of Bollywood latest sensation ‘Oh My God’ and is planning to rope Pawan Kalyan and Ravi Teja. For such comical roles, both these star heroes won’t look apt. To make these kinds of subjects with star heroes, director has to first alter the script and include heroism to satisfy the fans without disturbing or deviating from the actual concept.

Best example for such plots is Rajinikanth and Jagapathi Babu’s ‘Kathanayakudu’ which actually was a remake of Malayalam film Kadha Parayumbol. While the original version was a super hit, remake was a disaster. Now, if OMG would be made with Pawan and Ravi Teja…the same result may be repeated. So, makers should better go for other best choice of alternatives. Senior Naresh could the best option for Paresh Rawal role and Rajendra Prasad could be the second best. For Akshay Kumar’s role, any Telugu hero like Allari Naresh or Nani one also can fit into the character.


Rajamouli – Raviteja movie launch details !

Mass Maharaja ravi Teja future seems to be bright after series of flop movies. The latest movie he signed is going to bring back his lost glory once again with a big bang.

As per sources, Ravi Teja has signed yet another venture. Titled as ‘Zintatha,’ the movie will be directed by ace director SS Rajamouli’s former assistant Koti and will be produced by Sai Korrapati of Eega and Andala Rakshasi fame under Vaarahi Chalana Chitram Banner. Zintatha is a popular idiom from Ravi Teja’s super hit movie ‘Vikramarkudu’ directed by Rajamouli. Popular phrases and lines from lyrics are being used as titles these days as they are catchy for audience. MM Keeravani will be scoring the music and movie is going to be launched in January 2013.

Ravi Teja is currently working for ‘Balupu’ in the direction of Gopichand Malineni. He is simultaneously doing Parasuram’s ‘Sir Vacharu’.


Sir Osthara -No holds bar entertainer

After Devudu Chesina Manushulu’s dismal showing, actor Ravi Teja would be back in his element in the hilarious entertainer, Sir Osthara. “The audience expects a full dose of entertainment from Ravi Teja’s latest film. Director Parasuram has etched out an author-backed role. Our film is designed as a ‘no-holds-barred’ entertainer,” said Priyanka Dutt, producer of this big-ticket entertainer. “Even Kaajal’s role would be significant and the fans will enjoy her performance,” she added. “It is going to be a highly entertaining comedy.”


Balupu script is rocking !

Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja has been suffering with continuous disasters. The actor has completed double hat trick of flops with Puri Jagannath’s ‘Devudu Chesina Manushulu’. The energetic hero is currently working for Gopichand Malineni’s latest directorial ‘Balupu’. Kona Venkat is providing script and as per a source, the movie will score a sure shot hit as the ace writer offered a full length commercial script for his favorite hero.

Music director SS Thaman who is tuning songs for the film also stated through his twitter page that, Balupu script is rocking and is sure a winner. Shruti Haasan is romancing Ravi Teja in the film, produced by Prasad Vara Potluri under PVP Cinema Banner. Ravi and Gopichand’s earlier combo film Don Seenu was a super hit and we can expect the same kicking success for the Massraja.


'Vikramarkudu' sequel has a crazy title !

Ace Rajamouli, Mass Maha Raja Raviteja combination Vikramarkudu’ film was released in 2006 in which Hero plays a dual role was a super hit in that year.Now the same combination is getting ready to strike with full force once again.

Rajamouli seems to be repeating the same combinations which gave his super success and made him a top director, First it was Prabhas and now Raviteja to follow.After a break Rajamouli is giving final touches to couple of his projects. One such project is a sequel for ‘Vikramarkudu’ which features Ravi Teja again (might be dual role). The film’s title will be crazily titled as ‘Jinthatha Chitha Chitha Jinthatha Tha’ and is produced by Sai Korrapati on Varahi Productions banner.

Presenlty, Raviteja is in flop form with series of flops to his kitty, at the same time Rajamouli receiving less success than expected,his Magadheera still untouchable and his dream to break those records is still a dream. So, with the same combinations he might touch those records in future.


Ravi Teja as Bullet Raja

‘Mass maharaja’ Ravi Teja’s socio-fantasy movie Daruvu is releasing in Tamil as Bullet Raja. The dubbing works of the movie are almost done and the distributors will announce the release date of the Tamil version shortly.

The film, which has Taapsee as the female lead, failed to rake in good numbers at the Tollywood box office and let’s see whether the Tamil version could do better.Daruvu is directed by Siva who earlier directed super hit Tamil movie Siruthai.

Vijay Anthony has composed the music while Vetrivel took charge of the camera. Ramesh Gopi and Anil Ravipudi penned the dialogues and Gautham Raju handled the editing department. The story of the film is very similar to other Yamalokam films of the past like Yamaleela, Yamudiki Mogudu, Yama Gola and Yamadonga.


DCM Flop Is Affecting CGR

The flop of DCM is affecting CGR in big way. Till the time DCM released the overseas rights of Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu were quoted at Rs 4.5 Cr but now since Devudu Chesina Manushulu didn't do well, the quote has come down to Rs 3 Cr.

Even the distributors in AP are strictly calculating the ins and outs. They are looking to lift an advantage of less price for CGR since Puri's directorial DCM is in dark now.

Now we have to see how Puri will manage this situation. Only Pawan Kalyan's Gabbar Singh image should save this CGR.


Public saying it as THOKKALO Movie

Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja’s ‘Devudu Chesina Manushulu’ released yesterday worldwide and got negative reviews. Public who watched the film are saying it as Thokkalo cinema. There is no single part in the movie that is good. Story week, screen play week and there is not even Puri mark punch dialogues in the film. The only positive asset for the film is Raghu Kunche’s music. The audio got excellent response.

Goan Beauty Ileana played lead heroine opposite Ravi Teja in the film. We better not to talk about this girl. If she doesn’t add flesh into her body, Ileana will disappear soon from Industry. The film story links with ‘Arati Thokka’ and it has 2 versions. Most scenes are repeated in second half. The film was adopted from a Tamil film 12 B but director failed to create interest in the public. It’s torture sitting and watching the total movie. That’s why public are saying ‘Thokkalo Movie.’


Raviteja’s progress report !

Mass Maha Raja Ravi teja known to be producers best choice for the past decade with all films getting minimum guarantee revenues at box office has now become a nightmare for them.

Considering the fact by examing his movies success , A shocking truth is revealed . For the past three years Raviteja has done 11 movies in which only 2 movies were Hits and the rest 9 films were below average/ utter flops including the recent release ‘Devudu Chesina Manusulu’ . With this Raviteja creates a unique record by becoming the triple hat trick Flop hero. ‘Kick,’ and Mirapakaay were hits and the rest were consecutive flops ‘Anjaneyulu, Sambho Siva Sambho, KSD Appalraju (cameo), Dongala Muta, Veera, Nippu, Daruvu’ and finally ‘Devudu Chesina Manushulu’ .

Raviteja with his stereotype roles became a bad symbol of entertainment. Though he experimented in Sambho Siva Sambho but could not impress the audience. On a war footing he should completely change his approach in picking up some good scripts instead of just banking on his mark comedy.


Ravi Teja DCM Censor Details

Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja’s upcoming film ‘Devudu Chesina Manushulu’, in the direction of Puri Jagannath, has completed all the formalities including censor. The film has awarded with a U/A certificate by the censor authorities. The movie is now all set for the release on August 15th for Independence Day occasion. Hot Babe Ileana will be seen romancing Ravi Teja in the film. DCM is said to be a mass action entertainer with the mix of comedy.

Brahmanandam has played Lord Vishnu and Kovail Sarala will be seen as Goddess Lakshmi Devi in the film. Prakash Raj has played antagonist in the film. Raghu Kunche has scored the music and all the songs were listed in top 10 South Songs. BVSN Prasad is producing the film and Reliance Entertainments is presenting it. Gabriela Bertante will be seen sizzling on an item number in the film.


RaviTeja's Dialogues Not So Exciting!

Almost all the film makers who are in the race of August are coming up with different promotion strategies to lock audiences. But some big films are failing to get attention and Raviteja's movie is one among them.

Raviteja is coming up with 'Devudu Chesina Manushulu' that was crafted by maverick director Puri Jagan. The latest dialogue teaser released as a part of this show is not so hair rising and exciting like Puri's previous attempts.

'Naakantey goppa vaadini choosi vuntaav.. naakantey edavani choosuntaav.. naalontaadni nenu okkadiney', says Raviteja in the film. This is reminding of Ravi's 'Anjaneyulu' dialogue, 'Naalontodini choodam veru, nannu chooddam veru'. Fans are saying that versatility and punch is missing from Puri's work this time.

Many times dialogues will get popularized when we hear them in theatre in an emotional feel. Listening to them partly in teasers may not give complete kick. Let us wait for movie release before coming to conclusions.


Who is the next Mass Maharaja?

Mass movies are always the most sought after and safe bets for all those moviemakers who treat cinema as business. It is also considered to be a strong tool to build fan base for many heroes and that is the reason why almost all of them try to attempt at mass roles and get a mass image.

One man who has been ruling the roost in this stream is Ravi Teja. His high energy levels, dialogue delivery and the roles he chose made him a Mass Maharaja. But then the clock has been ticking and it must be said Ravi Teja has reached the final stages of his prime. So, it is time for a successor.

The point is, who can take Ravi Teja’s place as the next Mass Maharaja of Tollywood. There are actors like Allu Arjun, Ram, Nani, Allari Naresh, Manchu Manoj, Aadi Pinisetty and others in the list but it comes down to one question. Can any of these heroes display the same energy levels and histrionics of Ravi Teja? Are they the worthy successors? What’s your take friends?

Ravi Teja, Kajal and Taapsee starrer Veera is now being dubbed in Tamil. Veeraiah is the film’s title in Tamil. Ramesh Varma had directed the film in Telugu and S S Thaman had composed the music. Although the film had failed to click at box office when it released last year in Andhra Pradesh, the presence of Kajal and Taapsee, who are well known in Tamil Nadu, a Tamil film producer came forward to buy the dubbing rights of the film. It’s releasing on August 3. Moreover, Kajal and Taapsee are both in news in Kollywood with Suriya’s Maatran and Ajith’s untitled film respectively lined up for release later this year. So far, Ravi Teja has not acted in a straight Tamil film, although couple of his films like Vikramarkudu and Kick were remade in Tamil.


Ravi Teja’s Sir Osthara goes to Italy

Ravi Teja’s upcoming film Sir Osthara will soon be shot in Italy and Switzerland, as per the latest reports. Ravi Teja, Kajal and Richa Gangopadhyay are playing the lead roles. Parasuram is directing the film and Ashwini Dutt is producing it. The film’s principal shooting began earlier this month in Ooty. Some important scenes were canned on Ravi Teja and Richa. The film’s cinematographer Vijay K Chakravarthy has already flown to Milan, Italy to prepare for the film’s shooting. The rest of the cast is going to join soon. Devi Sri Prasad is going to compose the music.


Only Devudu Can Save 'DCM' Now

There are various factors which are responsible for the success of a film and the most important one among them is the pre-release hype and proper marketing. And if that is not there even the best of movies won’t work at the box office. Right now, that seems to be the situation with one film.

We are talking about the project ‘Devudu Chesina Manushulu’ starring Ravi Teja and Ileana in the lead. This is directed by Puri Jagannadh and the film is gearing up for a release in the month of August. However, it is heard that not an ounce of publicity has happened which has dampened the spirits of the distributors.

Apparently, Ravi Teja is already busy with the shooting of his other project ‘Sir Vacharu’ in Ooty while Puri has got onto his next project ‘Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu’ with Pawan Kalyan. Under this situation, it is only the ‘Devudu’ who must come and do something for ‘Devudu Chesina Manushulu’.


Mass maharaja fears

Mass Raja Raviteja is known for his fearless attitude. TFI sources look at him for inspiration to take on big heroes However all this has changed at the start of the year. Right from his release of 'Nippu' at the beginning of the year to his upcoming film 'Devudu Chesina Manushulu' in Puri Jagannath direction, he kept on postponing and delaying his releases for the fear of failure.

Nippu which was scheduled for Sankranthi release was delayed for 4-5 times and released after couple of months. The same happened in case of 'Daruvu' and now for 'DCM', which is witnessing the same situation. Movie lovers are saying Fearless Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja has become Fearfull' Raja.


Ravi Teja DCM Movie Release Postponed..!

Ravi Teja and Ileana are once again pairing for Puri Jagannath’s directorial venture titled Devudu Chesina Manushulu. The movie DCM was earlier slated to release on July 27th, which is now likely to be postponed to August 8th.

Devudu Chesina Manushulu is said to be a satire on god with Prakash Raj and Subbaraju in the pivotal roles. There is a buzz in Tollywood tinsel town that, all the arrangements were made to release Devudu Chesina Manushulu on July 27, but now the postponement of its release to Aug 8 is almost confirmed.

Earlier films of Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja and Puri Jagannadh have resulted in super hits and so people are aiming high on DCM. Raghu Kunche has composed the music for Devudu Chesina Manushulu in the production of BVSN Prasad


Raviteja and Richa romancing in Ooty

Ravi Teja forthcoming movie ‘Saar Osthara’ directed by Parusuram and produced by Ashwini Dutt on the banner Vyjayanthi Movies is fast progressing at Ooty. The director is shooting some scenes and songs at the beautiful hill locations of Ooty. Actress Richa Gangopadhyay is playing female lead opposite to Ravi Teja. The music is scored by Devi Sri Prasad.


I am bonding more with people on sets : Ileana

Goa beauty Ileana says that she is bonding more with people on her movie sets these days. Ileana was known for her aloofness in the early days of her career and the actress herself admits to this. “I never used to mingle well with people on the set earlier. I just used to complete my shot, sit by myself and head home once work is done. But I am interacting more with people these days. I am bonding with them and becoming friends with them. I feel very happy”, she said.

After a short hiatus, Ileana is going to be seen on screen with two big films back to back. First up will be ‘Julayi’, starring Allu Arjun and it will be followed up by ‘Devudu Chesina Manushulu’ with Ravi Teja. Both the films are scheduled for a July release.


DCM Looking for Overseas Buyers!

Mass Raja Raviteja, Iealana starrer 'DCM' directed by Puri Jagannath is racing for July release. The film is produced by BVSN Prasad on Sri Venkateswara Cinechitra India (p) Ltd and Reliance entertainments presenting it. Raghu Kunche is the music composer and Shyam K Naidu handled the camera for this movie. According to sources No overseas buers are comig forward to buy distribution rights as makers are expecting Rs 1.25Cr for Overseas rights for this movie. All three previous movies of Raviteja bombed at overaseas boxoffice and couldn't collect more than Rs 25 to 35 lakhs.Mass Raja Raviteja's reputation took a beating with the flops of Nippu, Daruvu and film by film the minimum guarantee graph is going down.The film is currently under post production work and is gearing up for July end release. Lets wish all the best for makers and hero!


Telugu Audiences Are Logic Less: Jagan

The man who defined the mannerism and acting styles of big heroes like Mahesh Babu and Prabhas is now targeting the logic of Telugu audience. Though he is facing severe criticism with his remark, he is trying to defend it.

During the audio release function of 'Devudu Chesina Mnushulu', Puri stated that Telugu audiences are no more looking for logic and are ready for story less films. In fact, he proved this with his previous flick 'Businessman', where there are only intense scenes and gripping narration without a proper story. Puri's point is that audience wants to enjoy a kick for two hours rather than beating heads to understand the cliched story the maker is trying to tell. But, the director should notice that this will not work all the time.

Mahesh is different and Raviteja is different. We cannot expect Businessman magic for Devudu Chesina Manushulu though this film is also made with fight and glamour minus story. However, if the talented director manages victory, he will successfully prove that Telugu audience are logic less.


Don’t look for logic in films: Puri

“Devudu Chesina Manushulu” is surely not one of the most talked-about projects in Tollywood and Puri Jagannath is also tightlipped when it comes to talking about movie. But if you ask the director about the content of the film, he says that these days people are trying to look for logic for characters and their behaviors in the film and it’s tough for the filmmakers to justify.

To further elucidate, Puri Jagannath gave the reference of the film “Yama Leela”, in which Chitragupta (Brahmi) accidentally drops a book “Diva Rahasyam”. And fearing punishment at the hands of Indra, Yama (Satyanarayana) and Chitragupta decide to descend on earth in search of the book. “When the book was dropped no body commented on that and I want you to watch Devudu Chesina Manushulu in the same spirit”, said Puri Jagannath.


Brahmi Is Puri's 'Devudu'

Well, this might sound shocking, but true. Veteran and star comedian of Telugu industry is all set to make audience burst into laughing with this new role.

Apparently, Brahmi is donning the role of Lord Sri Mahavishnu in the upcoming movie 'Devudu Chesina Manushulu'. His all-time best sidekick woman, Kovai Sarala is playing the role of his wife. In the role of God, Brahmi is expected to deliver some mocking one liner that will blast the bellies of Telugu audiences. Insiders are saying that this will be Brahmi's best role in Puri's movies after his 'software engineer' character in Pokiri.

The connection between Devudu aka Brahmi and his creation on earth aka Raviteja is said to be the highlight of this movie, with Brahmi getting punches from Ravi all the time. Let's wait for the release to know the realistic side of this 'Devudu Chesina Manushulu'.


Ileana gets Overdose of It

Ileana has been out of action for so long. Although she has been busy with various films, she was not seen on Telugu screen since Nenu Naa Rakshasi. After a hiatus now the actress is coming up with two projects at a time. Julayi and Devudu Chesina Manushulu are lined up for release in July. Ileana played the female lead in both the films.

Besides these Telugu projects Ileana has Barfee in Hindi. She is making debut in Bollywood with this Ranbir Kapoor starrer. With too many films reaching the final stage of shoot, Ileana is too busy to find to time to promote her movies. That is the reason why she was not present at Julayi audio. She was busy with Barfee shooting on that day.

Ileana hopes that all these three films click at the box office and fetches her good hits. However, she needs to work extra time to help the movies to get good publicity from her side. Having three releases at a time and that too in different languages is a bit of overdose and Ileana may not be feeling the pain as it tastes sweet!


DCM Promo Trailer Teaser Released

Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja's 'Devudu Chesina Manushulu' movie promo teaser trailer is released. The teaser trailer of duration 6 seconds will only have a voice over pronuncing the title in a hilarious way. Ileana will be seen as female lead in 'DCM', touted to be a mass entertainer directed by Puri Jagannadh. DCM is slated to release in July and the audio will be released on June 22. BVSN is producing DCM on Sri Venkateswara Cine Chitra banner and Raghu Kundhe has scored the music.


Jagan is always special : Raviteja

Ravi Teja and Puri Jagannath, who have delivered smash hits like Idiot and Amma Nanna Oka Tamil Ammayi, will be seen together again in Devudu Chesina Manchulu. The film has been shot in picturesque locales in Europe. Ileana plays the female lead in this big ticket-film, which is being produced by B.V.S.N. Prasad. “Working with Puri Jagan is always special and engaging,” said Ravi Teja, who is playing a grey role in this film. Initially, the film was titled Idiot 2 but the director later rubbished the reports and claimed that it had an all new story.


DCM’s audio on June 16?

Puri Jagannadh’s upcoming film Devudu Chesina Manushulu is gearing up for its big release in July. The latest buzz in the industry is that the film’s audio will be launched in a big way on June 16. Several top directors, actors from the film fraternity are expected to attend the event. Ravi Teja and Ileana have played the lead roles in the film and it also stars Prakash Raj in a crucial role. Most part of the film was shot in Hyderabad, Bangkok and Italy. Brazilian model Gabriela Bertante has danced for a sizzling item number in the film. Raghu Kunche has composed the music and popular singers like Shreya Ghoshal, Suchitra Karthik and Chinmayi have sung the songs in the film. BVSN Prasad has produced the film. Devudu Chesina Manushulu is being touted as a complete entertainer.


Ravi Teja to dub for DCM from Friday

Ravi Teja is all set to begin dubbing for his upcoming film Devudu Chesina Manushulu from this Friday. Puri Jagannadh has directed the film and most part of the film was shot in Hyderabad, Bangkok and Italy. Ravi Teja and Ileana are playing the lead roles in this film which is being touted as a satire on God. BVSN Prasad is producing the film along with Reliance Entertainments banner. Raghu Kunche has composed the music. The film’s audio will hit the stands later this month and the film is expected to hit the screens in the first half of July.


Raviteja’s Daruvu holds well

Despite bad reviews and not so encouraging day from the paying crowds,Raviteja movie Daruvu has held well at the box office. The film is in to its second week and is doing decent business all over. There is no drastic drop in the collections as of now.

When movies open to such bad reviews and talk, they tend to lose the ground within first week. But Daruvu is doing good despite all the negativity. Raviteja’s factor is helping the movie to draw decent collections.

Proven track record of ‘Yama’ movies is another reason for Daruvu to hold well. Although the comedy is loud and over the board, masses are ready to watch it at least once and that is coming good for Daruvu.


Balupu Music sittings in full swing

Mass Maha Raja Ravi Teja is going to team up with Gopichand Malineni for a new movie. Gopichand had earlier directed Ravi Teja’s Don Seenu.The new film is titled as Balupu.Currently,the music sittings of the movie are going on at full swing under the direction of Thaman.

Ravi teja will revert to Gopichand Malineni ‘s film Balupu in August and will simultaneously shoot for his Saar Vasthara. Ravi teja’s Balupu will be produced under PVP cinemas banner of Prasad V Potluri.

Richa opposite Raviteja ?

If all goes well, then Bengali beauty Richa Gangopadhyay might be paired up with Ravi Teja for his upcoming film “Sar Voccharu”. The makers have been trying hard to find a female lead opposite ‘mass maharaja’ for quite sometime but things are not favoring the production house. Earlier dusky beauty Amala Paul and beautiful actress Trisha have turned down the offer of playing the leading lady in this film, citing dates problem.

Recently, the makers approached Richa Gangopadhyay for the female lead and the actress has responded positively it seems. However, an official confirmation is awaited. Richa earlier shared screen space with Ravi Teja for the successful film “Mirapakaya”. So let’s hope the makers confirm Richa’s name and quickly start the shooting. “Sar Voccharu” is directed by Parasuram (Bujji) and produced by Aswini Dutt under Vyjayanthi Movies banner


Only he should save Raviteja

The man behind Raviteja's success as a hero and the man who made him an overnight star is none other than Puri Jagannadh. Raviteja's first success as solo hero came with Puri Jagan's Itlu Sravani Subramanyam. Later Idiot and Amma Nanna O Tamil Ammayi made him a household name. After hitting hat-trick, Puri and Raviteja teamed up for Neninthe and that movie fetched the best actor award for the actor, who is otherwise known for hyper energetic roles.

Now Puri and Raviteja have been doing Devudu Chesina Manushulu, which is a satirical movie on the current state of living. This movie has to put Raviteja back on track as he has been suffering with a string of flops. His latest release Daruvu is being panned by critics and is carrying very poor reports. So the onus is on Puri to bring Raviteja some luck.

The actor needs a break from the monotonous characters as audiences are getting bored by his routine antics. Only Puri can give a new dimension to Raviteja and the rest will follow. Hope DCM gives the much needed break for Mass Maharaja.


Daruvu is no match to GabbarSingh

Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja’s latest movie Daruvu which has released with huge expectation after series of flops like ’Dongala Mutha’, ‘Veera’ and ‘Nippu’, has managed to score pass marks at Boxoffice.

Trade pundits felt Daruvu would stop Pawan Kalyan’s Gabbar Singh’s tsunami at boxoffice. As both the fils were targeted to same audience. With first days public talk and reviews it is no match for Gabbar Singh monopoly . According to latest reports GabbarSingh managed to hold housefulls in all multiplexes and single screens for 1st & 2nd shows today. Daruvu effect was just nominal as families audience already opted Gabbarsingh as their first choice.

Meanwhile Daruvu got excellent openings despite of divide talk , It would be Raviteja’s best opener till date. With hilarious comedy and Mass oriented elements Daruvu would land in safe zone . Coming days would give a clear picture .Lets wait and see.


Daruvu fails at Overseas

Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja’s Daruvu had released worldwide today. The movie premieres were screened in the overseas yesterday night itself but to the huge disappointment of the makers and distributors, the response for the premieres is very poor with not more than 20% occupancy in all the centers. Producers had shipped the prints two days before the movie release and the distributors have fixed the ticket pricing at 12$ per adult and 7$ per child but that could not lure audience to the theaters. And now with movie getting negative review, the performance of the movie there in the weekends too is highly doubtful..


Daruvu Boxoffice Prediction

Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja’s latest movie Daruvu has hit the screens worldwide today. The movie is a Ravi Teja kinda entertainment with socio fantasy backdrop. The movie is amixture of several Telugu films which have Yamalokam backdrop. Tapsee is the female lead. ‘ Souryam’ fame Siva has directed the movie while Burugupalli Siva Rama Krishna produced it under Sri Venakteswara Entertainment banner. Here is the first day talk of the movie.

Plus:
1. Ravi Teja
2. Raw comedy might appeal to some C center audience.
3. Oomph of Tapsee
4. Comedy by Brahmi, Fish Venkat, Raghu Babu and others

Minus:
1. Ordinary and Boring Screenplay
2. Routine story
3. Cheap comedy will not appeal for Urbane audience
4. Climax is not so convincingly dealt.
Box Office Prediction:

The movie will not appeal to Urban audience. The director had intelligently opted for an entertainment script with Ravi Teja but failed in proper execution. All in all, the movie might not be the typical Ravi Teja entertainer but will appeal to B, C center audience to some extent. However, the movie is certainly better than Ravi Teja’s earlier movies Veera and Nippu.


Jagan trouble for Daruvu

‘Daruvu’ featuring Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja and Tapsee has been facing hurdle after hurdle for its release.

After postponement for several times, producers finally fixed May 25 for the release. It is on this day that the YSR Congress chief Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy was summoned to appear before the CBI for questioning. Indications are that he could be arrested on the day. If it happens, then there might be chaotic conditions in the state. There also might be a bandh (closure). If the film is released in such chaos, there would be problem in the openings.

Apart from this, Gabbar Singh is still running to house full collections. It is learnt that producers of the film are now worried about openings for the film. We will have to wait for few more hours to know how far ‘Daruvu’ would get openings on its release.


Daruvu Highlights !!!

First Half highlights

Movie starts of with images of SR NTR and JR NTR, this will be a feast for all Nandamuri fans and also a great gesture for Multi starrers
Movie runs on with fast pace with all key characters introduced in the first 30 mins with 2 songs covering it all.
Main turning point of the story happens post 30 mins, a grand Yama lokam set where Lord yama role is played by Prabhu and small misunderstaing between Yama and chitragupta leads to Ravi Teja’s death.
Like all Yama movies Ravi teja fights yama and gets to see 7 avatars of himself and finally decides to get into one main avatar of Minister.
Interesting twist at the interval leaves audience looking for second half.

Second Half Highlights

Second half starts with most anticipated character of this movie “VIDYA Balan” Played by one and only Bramhanadam.
Bramhi’s assistant name is “Nitya Menon” played by our Vennela Kishore.
Second half mainly deals with correcting the correct Minister Ravi Tejas character like Indrudu Chandrudu.
Few songs and some routine sentiment scenes lead to anticipated climax
In all movie ends on very entertaining note.

Highilights of the movie

Undoubtedly this movie belongs to Bramhi and his histrionics it a must watch for him.
Ravi Teja excelled in both the roles of Bullet Raja and Minister Ravi
Vennal Kishore also excelled in comedy part
Tapsee was seen just in the songs
Screenplay and direction is good , movie moves at a good pace with good song and fight placements

Ravi Teja is Back with a bang and for sure he is going to rule this summer….

Ravi Teja, Ileana to fly to Italy

Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja starrer Devudu Chesina Manushulu has wrapped up the talkie part and is left with three songs which are going to be canned on the lead pair Ravi Teja and Ileana in Italy in the next schedule.

Puri Jagannadh is wielding the megaphone for the film and BVSN Prasad is producing the film on the banner of Sri Venkateswara Cinechitra Pvt ltd in association with Reliance entertainments.

The filmmakers are making their efforts to wrap up the film shortly in order to release the film by the announced date June 15. Simultaneously the post-production works of Devudu Chesina Manushulu are taking place at a rapid pace. Raghu Kunche composed the musical scores and Shyam K Naidu is cranking the cinematography.


Daruvu distributor change for Krishna

Mass Maharaja Raviteja, Tapsee's 'Daruvu' in the direction of Siva is releasing on 25th of this month in a grand manner. Burugupalli Siva Rama Krishna is producing the film on Sri Venkateswara Entertainments banner. The film was supposed to be distributed by 14 Reels Entertainment, producers of ‘Dookudu’, in Krishna district but they backed off at the last moment as SS.Rajamouli's graphical adventure 'Eega' is releasing at the same time. Now according to sources Hari Venkateswara Pictures will be distributing the film in Krishna District. The film is coming with a tag line 'Sound of Mass'. Brahmanandam, Shayaji Shinde, Raghubabu, Avinash, Dharmavarapu Subramanyam, MS.Narayana, Prabhu and others feature in the film.


Ravi Teja Going Vulgar With Taapsee

There is always a fine line between going naughty and going vulgar and this is usually seen in films between heroes and heroines. Hero Ravi Teja is one actor who has been known for his mass masala movies and especially his dialogues with his leading ladies. Of course, most of the times, it is done in good humour.

However, in his new movie ‘Daruvu’, it appears that the Mass Maharaja may have gone a little vulgar with his leading lady Taapsee. Recently, few stills of the film were released and one such still showed as though Ravi Teja was literally going to reach the assets of Taapsee.

Even in ‘Racha’ a similar still was revealed showing Charan and Tamannah in one pose. It was as if he is eager to touch Tammu’s assets. Those who saw the stills are saying Ravi Teja is doing things without concern to his age and gauge. Wonder what the senior star has to say to this.



Yet another mega threat for Raviteja!

Raviteja is one of the most bankable stars in Telugu cinema that has been labeled as the minimum guarantee hero. Of late his films are not living up to the reputation and he has to prove his mettle with Daruvu to clear all the doubts about him. However, it is not going to be easy going for him as there is so much competition at the moment.

Currently Gabbar Singh is on fire and has been toppling all the records. Chances are unlikely for the film to slow down in two weeks say trade experts. So Raviteja's film will have to sustain the heat of Gabbar Singh to make an impression. But that isn't easy at all. Remember, Raviteja's Anjaneyulu was released when Magadheera was in full flow.

Despite an average content, Anjaneyulu ended up as a big loser. Is that going to repeat again for Daruvu? And making the things even troublesome, Rajamouli's Eega is slated for release on 30th May, which is exactly five days away from Daruvu release date. Let's see if Raviteja could pull off a hit amidst severe competition or not?



Daruvu censored with U/A

Comedy kings Ravi Teja and Bramhandam’s full length out and out entertainer DARUVU is getting ready for May 25th long week end release! It is already censored, certified with U/A and got very good report!

We are exciting to release this movie in Overseas on May 25th with premiere shows on May 24th after our Blockbuster ‘ Gabbar Singh’.

Sta tuned for further updates!

Raviteja Balupu !!

Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja’s film with director Gopichand Malineni has been interestingly titled as ‘Balupu’ and this news has been confirmed by music director Thaman, who has started work on the compositions for the movie.

The movie will be produced under Vijayanti Productions by Ashwini Dutt, Rumours that Trisha was selected for the film yet to be confirmed.

Raviteja pairing with Tapsee Daruvu is getting ready for its grand release on 18th May .



Directors @ Devudu Chesina MassRaja

A believer of God generally praises Him for his unique and talented creation, the Man. In Telugu we say 'Devudu Chesina Manushulu', attributing every luck, fate and ill to the God. Some directors of Tollywood are attributing this to our Mass Raja in the same way.

None of the star heroes like Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu, Ram Charan or Jr.NTR, never like to repeat a movie with a director, who has given them an average and below movie. Unlike those star-babus, Ravi Teja is giving chance to two directors that give him a good movies but still commercially unsafe projects. One is 'Anjaneyulu' director Parasuram and other is 'Don Seenu' director Gopichand Malineni. Both the guys are tumbling with flop movies at the present and our Mass Raja has given them a helping-hand once again.

Parasuram is doing 'Sir Ostara' and Gopichand is coming up with 'Balupu', both being tentative titles. Flop directors getting a chance when the hero is going through a rough patch, is generally a rare phenomenon. That's why they say 'Devudu Chesina MassRaja'!



Dharuvu is a laugh-riot

Leading actor Ravi Teja feels that his next film Dharuvu would offer the audience loads of entertainment and claims that he hasn’t done such a role before. “It’s an interesting role and even the story idea has great entertainment value,” says the actor, who has hit a lean patch with duds like Veera and Nippu. Even producer Burugupalli Sivaramakrishna describes the film as “laugh-riot” and a different genre to grab audience attention. “Every member of a family can watch it” he informs. It’s time Ravi Teja redeems himself with a hit.



Ravi Teja To Get Success With Daruvu

Actor Ravi Teja must be a nervous and an anxious man these days. His movie Daruvu is waiting in the ranks to be unleashed. The movie is said to mark his comeback in the industry.

The mass maharaja has had nothing but failure in his past movies. Daruvu which is directed by Shiva is a Socio entertainer. It is produced by Burugupalli Shivaramakrishna.

The movie will see Ravi Teja along with Tapsee in the lead. Daruvu is expected to have all the elements of a spicy movie, Action, Dance Drama, comedy. Apparently they are also the elements which personify Ravi Teja for the actor he is.

Daruvu is expected to catapult the star back to his stardom. The release is now eagerly awaited.



Devudu Chesina Manushulu - First Look Poster



Devudu Chesina Manushulu release date

Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja’s new film ‘Devudu Chesina Manushulu’ under the direction of Puri Jagannath movie is wrapping up at a fast pace. This is fifth movie in Ravi Teja and Puri combination after Itlu Sravani Subrahmanyam, Idiot, Nenithe, Amma Nanna Tamil Ammayi.

And if the buzz is to be believed the film will release on June 15. Unless there is any unexpected delay in the post production, Devudu Chesina Manushulu will release on the same date.

Ileana D’ Cruz is playing the female lead. Currently it is being filmed in Bangkok and the unit will wrap this schedule by May first week.

It will see a supporting cast of Prakash Raj, Bramhanadam, Ali, M.S.Narayana, Kovai Sarla, Fish Venkat, Subbaraju and Jyothirana.

BVSN Prasad is producing this movie on Sri Venkateswara Cinechitra India (p) Ltd and Reliance entertainments presenting it. Raghu Kunche is the music composer of this movie. Shyam K Naidu is handling the camera for this movie.



Deeksha Seth angry on Ravi Teja

Though it is not discussed in the open, the cine folks reveal that most of the heroines bag offers in big heroes projects only through high recommendation from the male lead. Till recently, it was being gossiped that Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja was doing all he can to promote the enchanting seductress Deeksha Seth.

However, it is now heard that Deeksha is miffed with Ravi Teja. Well, the buzz is that she has not been getting her due attention like before and sources say Ravi Teja seems to be focusing on the milky thigh beauty Taapsee. As it is, Deeksha has been trying hard to make her presence felt as she has not scored a single hit so far.

But sources close to Ravi Teja quashed all this as a rumour. They revealed that the Mass Maharaja is in his own tensions as none of his films have been working at the box office so where will he have the time to promote other heroines. Let us hope this is true and all is well between Ravi and Deeksha.

Raviteja's Daruvu turns Baruvu for producers!

Raviteja was considered as one of the safe bet heroes in Telugu cinema until a year ago. But a series of flop movies raised enough doubts on him to the buyers. Raviteja's downfall started with Dongala Mutha, a film that Raviteja should've never done. Later it was followed up by Veera which was a bigger debacle in terms of financial returns.

Earlier this year Raviteja tasted the flop of his career with Nippu. With this movie, Raviteja lost the trust of audience as well as business circles. Previously Raviteja used to be the savior for films with average content. With growing age and declining energy levels, he is not the same Raviteja now. Being monotonous is showing ominous signs already.

His upcoming film Daruvu has no takers in few key regions. A year ago his films used to sell like hot cakes. But times have changed now and how fast! Daruvu is turning out to be Baruvu for its producers as buyers are not showing any interest in this film with so many biggies in the fray. They will have to wait for the right time or should release the film on their own if they want to take advantage of summer holidays. That should be risky unless Daruvu is a minimum guarantee mass film.

Thank God! Raviteja Stopped Over-Action

Same kind of antics from the last ten years has surely bored the Telugu audiences regarding this mass-raja. Raviteja has opened his eyes at last, if sources are to be believed.

With 'Nippu' torture, audiences are no more able to watch the same histrionics of Ravi Teja. His mannerisms like over shouting, over emotions, head shaking and same 'goda meeda pidaka' steps are testing the patience of viewers. Finally, Raviteja is changing his style in an upcoming flick. Currently, he is acting in Puri Jaganadh's latest movie 'Devudu Chesina Manushulu', where his style and acting are completely re-defined.

According to a source, in the way Puri has remade Mahesh in Pokiri and Prabhas in Bujjigadu, he is doing that to Ravi now. 'Nippu' had opened the eyes of many people that only hero's 'regular mannerisms' and 'acting penchant' will not save a film until it is supported by a strong storyline and characterization. Time for few other star heroes also to pull out a leaf from Mass-Raja's book!

Nippu collects Rs 39 lakhs in East Godavari

Ravi Teja, Deeksha Seth starrer Nippu has turned out to be a big disapppointment at box-office. Earlier, we had reported that the film had collected a share of about Rs 35 lakhs in the first four days of release. Although, the trade analysts had predicted that the film was likely to collect Rs 70-80 lakhs in the full run, the latest report seems to be quite discouraging. The film collected a total share of Rs 39 lakhs ever since it released and it?s expected to collect another three lakhs. Directed by Gunasekhar, the film was produced by YVS Chowdary. Thaman had scored the music.

Ravi Teja New Movie under Parasuram

Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja and director Parasuram (Bujji) would be teaming up once again for a masala entertainer. This duo earlier worked for ?Anjaneyuly? movie, which fell flat at the Tollywood box office and Bujji is also poised to prove his mettle. Ravi Teja evinced interest and gave the nod for Parasuram?s massy script and the shooting is likely to start after the hero wraps up his under shoot film ?Daruvu? and Puri Jagannath?s ?Devudu Chesina Manushulu?. In fact, sources hint that Ravi Teja and Parasuram?s film might start post summer. Aswini Dutt is producng this film under Vyjayanthi Movies banner. Remember, Ravi Teja worked with Harish Shankar for the second time for ?Mirapakaya? after their previous combo film ?shock? was a disaster. So let?s hope this Parasuram scores a hit this time around.

T-activists stop Ravi Teja shoot

Pro-Telangana activists on Wednesday morning disrupted the shooting of Telugu film Daruvu that stars Ravi Teja and Tapsee.

Armed with sticks and stones, the protestors forcibly enterd the RTC Hospital at Tarnaka and damaged window panes and archlights of the film unit.

Nippu East Godavari Collections

Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja?s action entertainer ?Nippu? has opened last friday and the movie is receiving an average response at the Box Office. In East Godavari, the film managed to rake in a figure of about Rs 35 lakhs share for 4 days. The movie?s final share is expected to be between Rs 70 ? Rs 80 lakhs in its complete run.

We will bring collection figures of more areas as and when they become available to us. Deeksha Seth is the heroine in this film and Gunasekhar is the director. Nippu has been produced by Y.V.S. Chowdhary.



Ravi Teja Sacrificed Himself For FS

The Tollywood industry is one place where star legacy and star families rule the roost. So it is obvious that if you look at the top range of heroes, they come with a significant background. Amidst this league, it is a matter of pride if an individual can stand up and carve his own niche as a hero. And there is one such man in the Telugu circuit. I am talking about Ravi Teja. Yes, he is one man who started his career as a junior artist and today he is affectionately called as Mass Maharaja by the audience.

But it looks like Ravi Teja seems to be falling under the influence of external factors than going by his own instincts while doing films. The reason I say this is after looking at the recent string of flops he has been scoring. His admiration towards Ram Gopal Varma resulted in the dud ?Dongala Mutha?. His thought of giving chance to budding directors resulted in dud like ?Veera?. This time, it looks like Ravi Teja has sacrificed himself for his friends.

Well, I am talking about his former roommates YVS Chowdary and Gunasekhar. I am sure Ravi Teja has gone ahead and signed ?Nippu? purely for those equations and I have no doubt in saying that he has sacrificed his career forfriendship. While it is a good thing to do something like that, it is also important for Ravi Teja to evaluate the product. Because if he does such a thing even his friends will land in safe zone.

Having seen the hard way of the Telugu industry and his experience, it is time for Ravi Teja to take a shot on the scripts and put his foot down wherever required. Otherwise, if he continues doing projects on these parameters then he has to rely only on God to get his graph in shape. But speaking the law of Karma, this sacrifice of Ravi Teja will not go waste. He is sure to come back and make up for the string of flops. It is only a matter of time.



Raviteja is tired of promoting flops!!!

All his recent films had run because of his dynamism and energy but not due to the content in it. The energetic hero makes sure this time that he wants 'content' to support him, else he will end up tousled.

With NIPPU garnering a negative talk at the BO on day one itself, the exact stand of Raviteja is not understood. A mass-hero of such astonishing image is not expected reprising such old-wine stories. But this time, the equations have changed and Ravi too altered his mindset to not go beyond for a movie. Looks like, this is the prime reason behind his nil presence to promote NIPPU. When his movie NIPPU is releasing grandly, Ravi is busy in the launching function of his new movie with Puri Jagan. Rather checking the talk and first-day reports of it, RaviTeja is all excited to start the work of Puri Jagan's latest movie DEVUDU CHESINA MANUSHULU.

People are saying that a hero like RaviTeja should always try to bail out producer from the debacle by constantly promoting the movie, though it is a flop. But, leaving the movie to the bin, once it is completed, will put him on the edge of desertion slowly.



Ravi Teja, Puri Jagannath Devudu Chesina Manushulu Launched

'Nippu' tangled with Flop-Talk

This sounds something bitter for the fans of our MassRaja Raviteja. All the doubts and gossips surrounding this prestigious film are making a pool of flop-talk.

On the first hand, there is no presence of Raviteja and director Gunasekhar at the pre-release promotion of this movie. Secondly, it is heard that Gunasekhar walked out of the show, as YVS interfered in making the final parts of shooting and even at editing. Even the trailers of the movie looked boring, with all those regular antics of Raviteja like funny walks, massy dialogues and head shaking.

Cine observers are saying that NIPPU may fill the gap of boredom for audiences who are awaiting a new-movie from weeks. The film may not become a massive hit with all these interferences, but will surely collect decent profits, is another talk. NIPPU is going for a grand release tomorrow in more than 1000 screens, the first for any Raviteja's film till date. Watch out for our early review and opinions!
