For film buffs, verily Hey, do you know that Chiranjeevi's latest blockbuster, Indra, is said to have been sold in the domestic market at an astronomical sum of Rs. 17 crores, which incidentally is at least four-crore more than what Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Devdas was sold. Chiru's son, Ram Charan, is getting ready to be launched as the hero soon. Director Teja is said to be planning a movie with Nagarjuna and Rekha. Nagarjuna's present film Manmadhudu is loosely based on Mel Gibson's howlarious `What Women Want'. Pawan Kalyan's Johnny, being shot in utmost secrecy from dusk to dawn, has four songs and is slated for release next year only. If your eyebrows have not arched yet, it simply means you are not a film buff unlike the millions of countrymen obsessed with motion pictures.
