If
we take any field, there are only two prime competitors. Likewise, in
Telugu cable network too has two main competitors in the form of E TV
and Gemini TV. Ramoji Rao of E TV has given a chance to Teja to direct
'Chitram' which went on to become a blockbuster. After that film, he
was the storywriter and cameraman for Usha Kiron film's 'Subhavela',
an unofficial adaptation of 'The Runaway Bride' in Telugu. Teja was
supposed to be instrumental in adding steamy scenes in the film after
the film was censored. The reel was seized in Devi 70mm Hyderabad on
the day one bringing disrepute for Ramoji Rao. An angry Ramoji Rao has
warned Teja not to approach him in the future. Then Teja slyly shifted
his base and started his second film 'Nuvve Nenu' with Gemini TV. Unlike
Chitram, this film has action angle attached to it. Uday Kiran and Radhika
Chowdary are playing main leads. The same technical team that produced
Chitram is doing this film too. Kiran who has produced 'Antahpuram'
in the past with Krishna Vamsi is the producer of this film.
Chandu
hijacked
The
small time producers are giving restless nights to the big producers.
The moment they smell the title or story of the big film under production,
small producers to try to cash in the craze. Visitors might be aware
that Venky is considering the title Chandu for his next release in the
direction of Uday Shankar. But a small time producer Manikyala Rao hijacked
this title. He started a venture 'Chandu' in the direction of Veeru
K. In the past too, Pawan Kalyan's 'Cheppalani Vundi' was modified and
kept as 'Neetho Cheppalani Vundi' for another small time film, which
led Pawan Kalyan to change to the title to Kushi. Even Narasimha Naidu
was not spared. A dubbed film was titled as 'Commissioner Narasimha
Naidu' and was released in the last year. Now we have to wait and see
if Venky select another 'Raa' title or not.
Malliswari
denies acting in a Telugu film
Ramoji Rao
has set a precedent by converting the autobiographies of successful
women into celluloid masterpieces by making the real people act as heroine
in the films. They are Mayuri (with Sudha Chandran) and Aswini (Aswini
Nachappa). A stunt master named Tiger Appa Rao tried to emulate the
same by stating that Malliswari, the winner of Olympic medal, is acting
in his future film titled 'Malliswari IPS'. Though the director has
met Malliswari to offer the role, she flatly refused doing it. Malliswari
stated that she was approached by lot of producers including the bigwigs
of the industry. But she is not interested in acting films.
