8 Crores Advance To Mahesh Babu

Mahesh Babu is a superstar and one flop does not change that. There are many people who are dying to see him once again on screen. Little wonder that the producers are vying to get his dates.  The latest news from Film Nagar is that Mahesh has been given a huge sum as advance by Bhavya Creations. Talk is that out of the Rs 18 crores as remuneration, he has been given Rs 8 crore as advance. 

But the film will go on to the sets only after he wraps up Puri’s film and the next one with Trivikram. This film will be produced by Radhakrishna. If that happens, then Bhavya Creations will have to wait for almost two years. Though it is not clear if they will wait or make another film meanwhile, it is quite common for producers to give advance to Mahesh just to block his dates. Incidentally, Ashwini Dutt’s film which was planned at the time of Khaleja, hasn’t started as yet. 

65 crores for "Aagadu" producers

The fan following of Mahesh Babu is unmatchable.His latest offing  ‘Aagadu’ is getting ready for a massive release this month 19 th and the pre business has already been completed for almost all areas and the business details are surprising and stunning

The movie is carrying high expectations as it was the second film of Sreenu Vaitla-Mahesh combo post success of Dookudu.The film is releasing 2000 theaters worldwide.The film was made up with budget of 55 crores and according to film nagar sources it has fetched 75 crores for the makers .The movie's satellite rights, Audio Rights and distribution will all inflate Aagadu's worth to over 75 crores already

Production giant Eros acquired the rights of Aagadu and they are hopeful of scoring a big hit at the Box Office. The producers are also very happy and confident that the film will do exceptionally very well.Tamannah is the female lead in the film and Srinu Vaitla is the director of the film.

It is really unpredictable as Mahesh  last film was a dud at BO.No need to say all this was happened due to Mahesh stamina and his craze among audience.

Vikram and Shankar's 'I' Movie Logo

The official title of Vikram-Shankar's magnum opus will be known as 'I' from now onwards instead of 'AI' which was in circulation until Today. The logo looks more or less similar to Mahesh Babu's '1 - Nenokkadine'.

Amy Jackson is playing the female lead in 'I'. Malayalam actor Suresh Gopi is playing a pivotal role. Music is by AR Rahman and Cinematography is by PC Sreeram.

'I' will have its audio launch on September 15th and Hollywood action star Arnold Schwarzenegger will be gracing the event held at Nehru Stadium on September 15th in Chennai. 'I' will be released during Diwali.

Mahesh Babu's Punch Dialogues in Aagadu

Now, for the third time in his career, Mahesh Babu will be seen as a cop in Aagadu. 

Speaking about this film, Mahesh Babu said "This film is going to be become a super hit. My dad watched the teaser and said that this film is going to be a turning point in my career. I'm privileged to work with a director like Srinu Vaitla and the punch dialogues in the movie will be a treat to my fans".

Milky Beauty Tamanna is the leading lady and Sexy Siren Shruti Haasan will appear  in a hot item number. 

Recently, the unit has completed filming a song in Switzerland and the censor work will be completed tomorrow. SS Thaman has composed the music and the songs have already entered into the chart-busters list. 

Mahesh And Charan Took That Burden

Tolllywood's star heroes are whipped by cine lovers continuously as they are not delivering more entertainment for them. This is regarding the number of movies each hero is getting released in a year. Listening to the request of audiences, it seems like Mahesh and Charan are really working hard.

Post the success of Attarintiki Daredi in 2013, Pawan is busy with politics and we could see him on silver screen for 2014 only if he comes up with Gopala Gopala. Otherwise his Gabbar Singh 2 is not in the vicinity at the moment. Coming to Allu Arujn, he's happy with Race Gurram but his next project is yet to kick off. This may not help him release another movie in 2014 itself. Prabhas' Baahubali will release in 2015 only, while he scored hit with Mirchi last year. Unlike all these big stars, Mahesh and Charan are racing ahead to deliver their second treat again in 2014.

Already these two big stars had their 1-Nenokkadine and Yevadu release for last Sankranthi. And now they will see Aagadu and Govindudu Andarivadele hitting screens for Dasara. It's time to say that Mahesh and Charan have taken the onus of entertaining audience couple of times in a year. Hope other heroes too undertake such burden and make Tollywood glitter.

Two hurdles for Mahesh and Charan

Till date, only Superstar Mahesh and Mega Powerstar Ram Charan are largely spoken when it comes to the upcoming Dasara season. Their movies are hitting the tinsel town on that eve, Mahesh's Aagadu on Sep 15th and Charan's Govindudu Andarivadele on October 1st. But this feat will not be a cake walk for them, if we bring two other star heroes into the scene.

Aagadu and Govindudu have simply got their things set nicer by meticulously planning a two week gap. Much to their surprise, on the eve of Independence Day and the ensuing weekend, Jr NTR's Rabhasa and Surya's Sikander are hitting screens on August 14 and 15 respectively. Imagine the scene for Aagadu if at all Jr NTR and Surya score big blockbusters. Mahesh's movie will fall short of theatres for sure. Though it manages to get many screens somehow, theatres at crucial centres will be missed.

And if the run of Rabhasa and Sikander continues for long and Mahesh too scores a hit with Aagadu, then that impact will surely fall on Govindudu Andarivadele. These days, films are getting released in large number of theatres, and minting their money and quitting theatres in no time. In this kind of trade scenario, it will be tough if last comers, here Mahesh and Charan in this case. Let us see how they overcome these two hurdles.

Mahesh's 'Baava' Factor Upsets Top Director?

For the first time in his 15-year-long career Superstar Mahesh Babu has decided to do a guest appearance. Although Mahesh has lent his voice for the films of his peers like Jalsa (Pawan Kalyan-Trivikram Sreenivas) and Baadshah (Jr NTR-Sreenu Vaitla), this is first of its kind for Mahesh to do a cameo. He will be seen in special role in his brother-in-law Sudheer Babu's forthcoming film Krishnamma Kalipindi Iddarini. This would be a feast for Mahesh fans as they would get an opportunity to see both Mahesh Babu and Sudheer Babu together. But one man is quite upset with this and it is none other than ace director Gunasekhar.

Not long ago director Gunasekhar approached Mahesh Babu for a guest role in his upcoming magnum opus Rudhramadevi. Guna reportedly met Mahesh in London during the shooting of One Nenokkadine and briefed him about the historical role of Gona Gonnareddy. Guna was keen on roping in Mahesh and after waiting long for him, Guna had to look at other options and  finally zeroed in on Allu Arjun for the epic role.

Rumour mill is abuzz that director Gunasekhar, who has directed films like Okkadu, Arjun and Sainikudu with Mahesh, is miffed as he waited long for Mahesh and even put the shooting of Rudhramadevi on hold for Mahesh. But finally, Mahesh has "no time" for the star director who has given a big break with Okkadu. Looks like Mahesh's "Baava" factor has now hurts Gunasekhar more. Hope both Mahesh and Guna patch up the things and revive their relation.

Mahesh Babu To Visit Gujarat

Gujarat has become a popular destination for Tollywood actors this season. Superstar Mahesh Babu will be heading to Gujarat this time but he won't be meeting Narendra Modi. Actors like Pawan Kalyan and Nagarjuna went to Gujarat and met Narendra Modi. Mahesh will joining the shooting with his 'Aagadu' team and some scenes will be shot over there. Milky beauty Tamanna is the leading lady opposite to Mahesh Babu and Srinu Vaitla is directing this action and comedy entertainer. After the success of Dookudu, this is the second film for Mahesh and Srinu Vaitla. SS Thaman is composing the music Sonu Sood will appear in a mojor role in the film. Anil Sunkara, Ram Achanta and Gopi Achanta are producing 'Aagadu' under 14 Reels Entertainments Banner.

Political Confusion in Mahesh's Family

Already we are witnessing Mega family split between Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan, as one happens to be chief campaigner of Congress party while other one is president of Jana Sena and star campaigner of BJP-TDP duo in the state. Now, the scene is getting shifted to Superstar Mahesh Babu's family.

Apparently, everyone waited eagerly to know what Mahesh Babu will decide about politics as his brother in law Galla Jayadev is contesting as MP from Guntur on Telugudesam ticket. Surprising everyone, Mahesh voted for Jayadev and extended his full on support to him. But the actor carefully avoided talking about Telugudesam or his support to the party. At the same time veteran Superstar Krishna's brother Adiseshagiri Rao declared his support to YSR Congress party. Superstar Krishna is also known for his proximity with late CM YS Rajasekhar Reddy, and there is no shocker in him joining hands with Jagan. When son and son-in-law are with Telugudesam, directly or indirectly, Krishna and his brother are with Jagan's party. Will this not create confusion among Ghattamaneni fans?

Leave this aside, and we have Krishna's extended family through second wife Vijayanirmala creating more confusion. Vijayanirmala is ready to walk in the footsteps of her husband, but not her son Naresh. This former hero and present character artist used to be a staunch supporter of BJP and later distanced from the lotus-walas indicating some caste politics.  Now, he is extending his support to Pawan Kalyan and stated that Pawan is a ray of hope for AP politics.

Jayadev (TDP), Mahesh (indirectly TDP), Krishna (indirectly YSRC), Adiseshagiri Rao (YSRC), Naresh (Jana Sena) are surely creating big confusion for some fan bases. End of the day, all family members need not be in same political party anyway.

Mahesh Babu Supports TDP

Super Star Mahesh Babu has been away from the political scenes and the actor today has come out in support for his brother-in-law Jay Galla. Mahesh's father Super Star Krishna is a loyal supporter for Congress for more than three decades and it was expected that Mahesh will be supporting his brother-in-law for sure as the actor shares a very relation with him. 

Mahesh posted on twitter " I've always maintained that I'm apolitical.. still am. However, I need to break my silence to talk a little about my BIL @jaygalla who is contesting for MP from Guntur. From the time he married my sister, Padma, when I was only 13, he has been an inspiration and role model to me. 

At first, it was because of the way he took care of me and treated me. Later, I understood how he was able to develop a vision and translate it into reality with values, as can be seen in how he steered the Amara Raja Group and the Amaron Brand into what they are today. He has been recognized by media, industry bodies and his peers for his achievements. He has always talked about wanting to enter politics, and I never really understood why, given my own dislike for the field. 

He always said that the only way to create change is to improve the quality of people entering politics.. And that through politics, you can serve the maximum number of people. One of his favorite quotes, "One man can make a difference, and every man should try." I believe in him, and I believe he can make a difference. He has my support and my vote, and I hope he has yours as well. @jaygalla represents hope for the future of Guntur, Andhra Pradesh and for India." This is definitely an added advantage for the Telugu Desam Party and Chandra Babu Naidu, as they have been facing trouble from BJP and Pawan Kalyan now.

Mahesh to fill Pawan's vacuum?

Among five to six big stars, Mahesh Babu would be heaving a sigh of relief since his arch rival Pawan Kalyan is stepping into politics to ease the competition and make it much easier for him to attain numero uno slot. 

Industry pundits are busy predicting that Pawan would lose his strong fan base, like many other earlier stars for his political stance, and ultimately only benefit Mahesh Babu who is expected to take up the mantle of uncrowned king of T-town by consolidating his fan base. 


If Election Commissions stops Pawan's political stint, otherwise Mahesh who is riding high with two 50-crore hits "Dookudu" and "Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu" and 40-core "Businessman" is expected to overcome his recent debacle "Nenokadine", with "Aagadu" and would be new Badshah of T-town. Since other contenders like Ram Charan, Jr NTR, Prabhas and Allu Arjun are few notches behind Mahesh. Mahesh's fans are curiously waiting for Pawan's big announcement on March 14 (Friday) as they want to see their matinee idol to take over the reigns of T-town.

Mahesh Babu Out, NTR In!

Here is the biggest news scoop of the year 2014! Jr NTR is likely to replace Mahesh Babu, according to our highly-placed sources. And yes, this is an epic film and we're talking about Gunasekhar's upcoming magnum opus "Rudhramadevi". With leading star Mahesh Babu stuck with dates issues, director-producer Gunasekhar is reportedly contemplating to cast another superstar NTR to essay the warrior role of 'Gona Ganna Reddy' in this historical film. 

Even though, Mahesh evinced interest but unable to spare immediate 20 days for the film and reportedly suggested his director friend to look for good alternative since the director has almost completed major portions of his 3-D spectacle. Although, earlier there were reports that Guna might cast Ravi Teja for the same role, we hear that director-producer has dropped the plans. 

So Gunasekhar who launched NTR with "Bala Ramayanam" would be joining hands with scion of Nandamuri clan yet again for another historical film. It will also be first time, NTR would be sharing screen space with beauty queen Anushka and short-legged lass Nithya Menen. While Nithya pairs up with NTR, Anushka will be seen alongside Rana Daggubati. If all goes well, NTR will step into Mahesh's shoes. This is raising temperatures in Tollywood indeed. For more developments, stay tuned!

NTR first, Mahesh next!

It's common knowledge by now that Mahesh Babu, had thought of teaming up with director Puri Jaganndah, soon after his present commitment Aagadu with Srinu Vytla. But destiny has other plans for Mahesh. Owing to his contract with UTV films, Mahesh Babu has to begin working on their project with director Koratala Siva which was announced much earlier. With this, Puri Jagan has to wait for a while to direct Mahesh.

Puri, who is known for wrapping up projects at a breakneck speed, has decided to do a film before his project with Mahesh takes off. He is going to direct none other than Jr NTR. Puri and NTR, who haven't joined their forces after debacle of Andhrawala (ten years ago in 2004), have now decided to break that jinx. Puri has apparently narrated a story line to NTR who quite impressed with it.NTR has given a go-ahead to Puri, if rumour mills are anything to go by.

NTR, who is currently sweating out for Santosh Srinivas' Joru (tentative title), may finish it by the end of April. It's a cake walk for Puri to get ready by April as he finishes a script within 20 days. If all goes well, this project will go onto floors from May. It's not clear who is going to produce the film and other cast. So, NTR is first for Puri and Mahesh is second as per the commitments. Meanwhile, directors Sukumar, Koratala Siva and Vamsi Paidipally too busy weaving stories for NTR. Despite going through rough phase, NTR is hot cake for the top directors in tinsel ville.

Mahesh Babu 'One' More- Pawan Kalyan 'One And Half'

It is a common expectation from the cine buffs that stars with high box office stamina like Mahesh Babu and Pawan Kalyan must come up with more number of films in an year. Given the way both have been on a signing spree, that expectation rose but then it looks like the year 2014 doesn’t have much to offer. 

As of now, Mahesh is expected to come with ‘Aagadu’ in the month of September. It was reported that he has a project with Puri Jagannadh and Mani Ratnam as well but till now no official announcement has come. If it is Puri then there is a chance since he is quick in wrapping films. But he is going ahead with a young hero. 

Already, Mahesh has come with ‘One’ this year. As for Pawan, sources reveal he will come in ‘Oh My God’ remake from interval so that would be half and then he will be seen in ‘Gabbar Singh 2’ which is confirmed for arrival this year. So, it would be a one and half treat from him.   Let’s hope fans make do with this then.

Mahesh Babu is locked

We have been hearing various reports about Mahesh Babu's next film after Aagadu. Puri Jagannadh has been stressing that his film will start off after Mahesh is done with Aagadu. On the other hand we are repeatedly hearing latest updates about Mani Ratnam's multi-starrer, which is yet to be confirmed officially.

But all those films can wait for some time. Why because Mahesh Babu has to start shooting for UTV Films movie immediately after Aagadu. Mahesh has reportedly signed a contract with UTV to do his next to them. As per the contract he will have to take up UTV film before moving on to other projects.

So Koratala Shiva's film which was kept on hold till now moves ahead of Puri and Mani Ratnam movies. Regular shooting of Koratala's film will start in May and Mahesh will work on Aagadu and this film until he is done with the former. As per the latest development Puri Jagannadh's film may get bit delayed. So Koratala's second film as director will be with Mahesh and his third will be with NTR. No change in that order.

Mahesh Babu Flop alerts Jr NTR!

Few days ago a press note has been sent from producer BVSN Prasad stating that Jr NTR's next film under Sukumar direction will be launched in April. When news circles started speculating that this project has been canceled due to dismal performance of Sukumar's 1 Nenokkadine, this press note was sent to put an end to those speculations.

However, as per latest news from film nagar sources, the speculations turned out to be true as NTR is apprehensive about doing his next with Sukumar. The director earned bad name for escalating the budget and taking so long to wrap up a film. Therefore NTR is not in a mood to experiment with Sukumar right now.
 
There is another news floating around that Sukumar asked for one year time to prepare subject for NTR and hence this film is postponed indefinitely. If everything falls in place this project may start in 2015, sources said. One thing is pretty clear at this point. NTR is not going to do Sukumar's film as his next. Meanwhile his current film Joru (earlier Rabhasa) is expected to release in July.

Mahesh Babu Totally Confused

Mahesh has always been quite particular about his scripts and he would give the nod only after he was totally convinced. He would make his fans wait for a couple of years before any of his films hit the screens. But now the scenario is totally different. He is signing films left, right and center. 

While this is good news for his fans and producers, one is left wondering as to how Mahesh will accommodate dates for all of them. At the most, he will be able to do two films in a year. But if one goes through the list of film-makers who had narrated scripts to him and got his approval, it is rather exhaustive. 

Koratala Siva, Raj Nidimoru, Krishna DK, Krish are among those who have Mahesh’s approval. Meanwhile, Mahesh has promised to do a film with Sukumar. He has also decided to do a film with Puri after that. So, if Mahesh does not listen to any scripts in between, it will take another three years for him to clear the backlog.

 It is being said that Mahesh is totally confused about the line-up. He is unable to decide which films he has to do first and which films he has to push back. We hope he squeezes himself out of this situation soon!

Aishwarya Rai with Nag, Mahesh Babu!

Aishwarya Rai, who has been taking a break from acting post birth of Aaradhya Bachchan, is all set to make a comeback. But the news is that she is making a bigger, grand reentry. Buzz is that Aishwarya is going to join with a Mani Ratnam film. Rumour mill says that Aishwarya has been signed for Mani Ratnam's next.

Interestingly, the movie stars Nagarjuna and Mahesh Babu in pivotal roles, say reports. Talk is that Aishwarya would pair up with Nagarjuna in the film. However, the female lead opposite Mahesh Babu is not yet finalized. Strangely, Mani hasn't cast Abhishek Bachchan who earlier teamed up with him in Guru and Raavan, as the proposed project is a Tamil-Telugu bilingual. The yet-to-be-titled film is rumoured to be adaptation of classic Tamil novel Ponniyin Selvan. However, Mani Ratnam hasn't revealed whether this is a new story or adaptation of the proposed novel. Considering that Nagarjuna's previous combination with Mani Ratnam, Geetanjali, is a classic and this is first time combo with Mahesh Babu, expectations on this film are way too high even before a formal announcement.

Currently in pre-production phase, the proposed movie is expected to roll on from September or October. If all goes well, Telugu audiences could watch Mahesh Babu, Nagarjuna and Aishwarya Rai in single frame. Stay tuned to this space for more updates.

Mahesh to repeat Dookudu, Businessman feat

Mahesh Babu's current film Aagadu shoot is going on at a brisk pace. This film is expected to release in August or September. The makers are aiming for the season that has helped Dookudu to be a blockbuster. Mahesh will be doing a quickie right after completing Aagadu.

Puri Jagannadh will direct Mahesh Babu's next and it will be completed in a flash. It will release for Pongal if everything falls in place. So Mahesh will be repeating Dookudu, Businessman feat again, which were released within a gap of four months. Puri has narrated a single line story to Mahesh to which the Superstar has waved green.

Meanwhile Maniratnam's multi-starrer movie is still on although Mahesh didn't announce about it officially. This film is expected to be launched in July. There is no clarity over Mahesh's film under Koratala Shiva's direction. It may go to sets after Puri's film, say sources.

Surprise, Mahesh Babu not approached yet!

We have been hearing reports about Mahesh Babu doing a film under Mani Ratnam's direction. Media reports read that this film is a multi-starrer in which Nagarjuna is playing an important character. However, Mahesh Babu made it clear that no one has approached him regarding this.

Speaking to a daily Mahesh said that he too 'heard' about the news of Mani Ratnam's multistarrer. He didn't express his willingness to do the film, but said that he is currently concentrating 'only' on Aagadu. With this it is clear that Maniratnam is yet to approach Mahesh for his ambitious project.

News about Mani Ratnam, Mahesh Babu's film surfaced in media in the past too. But that didn't materialize. This film can surely grab eyeballs if it really happens. Mahesh is currently focusing to get back on track after the setback of 1 Nenokkadine.
