The
shooting of Balayya's janapada film is going on in full swing at Vizag.
And the news is that Balayya is taking care of the entire project for
this film. As Kodi Rama Krishna is not fully conversant with janapada
type films, Balayya is helping him out in the shot making. It was always
a dream for Balayya to act in films of janapada and pouranika genre
films and prove himself as only next to his legendry father NTR. As
'Bhalevadivi Basu' is going to be released on 15th of this month, the
movie promotion on TV is intensified. From tonight onward, the songs
of the Bhalevadivi Basu would be shown repeatedly in the Bio-scope of
Gemini TV. E TV and Gemini TV have geared up to celebrate Balayya birthday
on 10th of this month. Bhalevadivi Basu's trailer would be shown on
Gemini on that day for more than 40 times, according to highly placed
confidential sources.
Youth
subjects and fresh faces are the new mantra for success in Kannada films.
It started with 'Sparsa' last year. The latest news is that Kannada
remake of 'Chitram' got sensational talk all over. Teja has directed
this film. The ticket rate went for Rs 100/- in black, which is a pretty
high rate for Kannada films. Keeping this in mind, the Devi distributor
of Rayalaseema ventured in to remaking Tammudu in Kannada with Shiv
Raj Kumar and Lisa Ray. Lisa Ray will play the role of Dr Atidi. A new
actress Bhavana Pani is roped in to do the main heroine role in this
film. Ramana Gogula is the music director and Poori Jagannath is directing
this film.
Venu
is slowly becoming a hero of quality. He is picking up his stories and
banners with uttermost care. He is presently acting in EVV directed
film 'Veedekkadi Mogudandi?'. He has signed up with six new directors
now. The first one is the editor Mohan's film in the direction of Raja,
son of Editor Mohan. This film also sports Mohan Babu in another role.
MS Raju (of Devi Putrudu) fame is going to blood another new director
with Venu as hero. Venu's home productions is going to produce another
film introducing a new director Prabhakar. He will also be acting in
one of the future ventures of Usha Kiron movies.
