      Jani Master: Choreographer Now Embroiled in Controversy - Top 10 Songs
      Jani Master: Choreographer Now Embroiled in Controversy - Top 10 Songs
      Renowned choreographer Jani Master has been embroiled in a sexual harassment case that has caused a sensation across the Telugu states. A female choreographer accused him of sexually harassing her over some time, making it a topic of intense discussion in Tollywood. In response to her complaint, police have already registered a case against Jani Master under IPC sections 376, 506, and 323(2). Amidst this backdrop, a team of Cyberabad SOT police intensified their search and eventually detained him in Goa. He was presented in court there and is being brought back to the city. [toc] What happened? Jani Master was accused by his assistant of sexual harassment. She complained to the police, saying, "I met Jani Master in 2017. I joined his team as an assistant choreographer in 2019. During a film shoot in Mumbai, I traveled there along with Jani Master and two other assistants. At the hotel there, Jani Master raped me. He threatened to fire me and said I would never work in the film industry again if I told anyone. He took advantage of the opportunity to take us from Hyderabad to other cities for film shootings and raped me multiple times. Even during the shootings, he behaved indecently inside the vanity van," the victim stated in her complaint. Following her complaint, police arrested him on Thursday (September 19). The Cyberabad SOT team apprehended him at a lodge in Goa. If you've done something wrong, admit it: Manchu Manoj Since she was a minor, the girl in her complaint alleged that Jani Master had harassed her, prompting police to register a case under the POCSO Act. However, since the case was registered, Jani Master disappeared. Actor Manchu Manoj made intriguing remarks about this. He opined that fleeing when a woman makes accusations sends a dangerous message to society and future generations. He advised Jani Master to face the truth and fight if he hadn’t done anything wrong. "If you have made a mistake, admit it," Manchu Manoj clarified. "Everyone knows how hard Jani Master worked to reach a high position in his career. But seeing these allegations at this level is heartbreaking. The law will determine who is at fault. I congratulate the police for acting swiftly in this matter. This incident clearly shows that no one is above the law," Manoj stated. https://twitter.com/HeroManoj1/status/1836692133216174368 Jani Master's top-10 songs Jani Master rose to stardom as a star choreographer in a very short time with his talent.

      Why Trying to Imitate Rajamouli’s Magic Backfires: The Lessons 'Kanguva' and Other Films Learned the Hard Way
      Why Trying to Imitate Rajamouli’s Magic Backfires: The Lessons 'Kanguva' and Other Films Learned the Hard Way
      Among the nation's esteemed directors, Rajamouli holds a top position. From the beginning of his career to the present, he has maintained a streak of success without a single flop. Rajamouli is a master at grasping the pulse of the audience and crafting films accordingly. To date, each of the 12 films released under Rajamouli's direction has achieved unique acclaim and remains evergreen in the eyes of the audience. However, many directors have attempted to emulate Rajamouli's style and failed. They tried making films with similar themes to Rajamouli's and ended up burning their fingers. Recently, Kanguva also followed Rajamouli's pattern but ended up disappointing the audience. What are the reasons for this? What other films have faced setbacks by following Rajamouli's approach? Let's find out. Did They Err by Comparing It to 'Baahubali'? The film Kanguva, directed by Shiva starring Suriya, was released worldwide on November 14. The pre-release event of this film invited Rajamouli, and the promotions hyped it as what 'Baahubali' is to Tollywood, 'Kanguva' would be to Kollywood, setting high expectations. However, post-release, the situation seems to have turned upside down. Viewers felt that the film lacked the substance found in 'Baahubali' and criticized director Shiva for his flawed storytelling. Rajamouli is known for evoking strong emotions, but Kanguva failed to resonate emotionally with the audience. The characters could not engage the audience on a journey, and viewers commented that it's worth watching the film only for Suriya's performance. Those Films Too Were the Same! Like 'Kanguva,' several past films have tried to replicate Rajamouli's formula and ended up being unsuccessful. The movie 'Sakthi' (2011) featuring Jr. NTR and directed by Meher Ramesh, aimed to captivate like 'Magadheera' but flopped. 'Sakthi' also revolved around a reincarnation theme but failed to capture the Telugu audience. 'Brahmastra,' starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, despite its large budget, failed to impress due to its inadequate content and visual spectacle. Even 'Ponniyin Selvan,' despite garnering positive reviews in Kollywood, could not create a sensation and only the first part met expectations while the second part did not live up to the hype. Bollywood’s 'Shamshera,' set against a British backdrop similar to RRR, also faced a terrible defeat. In Tamil, 'Puli' and in Malayalam, 'Marakkar,' although creating significant buzz in the style of a Rajamouli film, failed to succeed. The Secret to Rajamouli’s Success! When people think of a Rajamouli film, they envision a stellar cast, massive budget, spectacular graphics, and an evergreen story. These elements are considered reasons for his films’ sensational success. However, these factors are just key components that aid success, not the core of it. Rajamouli's real formula lies in the emotional drama—something many films miss and only Rajamouli manages to carry through. He places significant emphasis on emotions in his films, which he believes are crucial for success. Rajamouli creates an emotional bond between the viewer and the characters, drawing the audience deeply into his movies. This engagement makes the characters linger with the viewers, even after leaving the cinema, prompting them to revisit the film. This emotional connection is something many directors struggle to emulate. Rajamouli Busy with Upcoming Projects Following RRR, Rajamouli is set to direct a new film featuring Mahesh Babu, known as SSMB 29, which will be a pan-world movie. This upcoming film will showcase Mahesh in a never-before-seen look, set against the backdrop of the Amazon forests, with significant location scouting happening in South Africa. British actress Naomi Scott has been confirmed as the heroine. The initial schedule will be completed in a Varanasi set in Hyderabad, after which the second schedule will move to South Africa.

      Game Changer Teaser Set to Drop in Lucknow: Ram Charan's High-Stakes Film Heads North for Pan-India Impact!
      Game Changer Teaser Set to Drop in Lucknow: Ram Charan's High-Stakes Film Heads North for Pan-India Impact!
      Following 'RRR', the highly anticipated film 'Game Changer' starring Ram Charan, directed by renowned director Shankar and produced by Telugu producer Dil Raju, is set to be a political action entertainer scheduled to release as a festive gift on January 10. As the release date approaches, the film's team is focusing on promotions, including locking in the date for the teaser release. It has been announced that the teaser will be released in Uttar Pradesh. Despite having two Telugu states, why is the teaser launch event planned in the North? It seems there is a master plan behind this decision. When is the teaser? In the upcoming film 'Game Changer,' Bollywood beauty Kiara Advani stars as the heroine alongside another heroine, Anjali, who plays a significant role. The film features Naveen Chandra, Sunil, Srikanth, Bollywood actor Harry Josh, Kollywood actors SJ Suryah, Samuthirakani, and Kannada actor Jayaram in key roles. Karthik Subbaraj provides the story, and Sai Madhav Burra delivers the dialogues. Recently, the movie team has fixed the teaser release for November 9th and announced that the launch event will take place in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. Why in Lucknow? Initially, the 'Game Changer' teaser launch event was planned to be held in Hyderabad. However, due to local conditions and permissions, the venue was shifted to Lucknow. Given the film's pan-India release, nationwide promotions are deemed crucial. The movie team believes that starting the official promotions in the North could enhance accessibility and engagement with the audience there. Moreover, starting from the teaser release, the team plans to keep the buzz alive by releasing updates every two weeks. Ram Charan is performing dual roles, and it remains to be seen if the teaser will reveal the looks of these two characters. The First of its Kind! Tamil cinema's leading director, Shankar, has directed numerous blockbuster hits such as 'Gentleman', 'Premikudu', 'Bharateeyudu', 'Jeans', 'Oke Okkadu', 'Boys', 'Aparichitudu', 'Sivaji', and 'Robo', which were all popular in Telugu through dubbing. 'Game Changer' marks Shankar’s first direct Telugu film, and it is also his first collaboration with Ram Charan. Known for making films with strong messages, Shankar has crafted 'Game Changer' in the same vein, and it appears the teaser has been cut to introduce its theme. It will be interesting to see how much the teaser excites the audience. A Highlight for the Film! Recently, the 'Game Changer' team released a special poster hinting at an upcoming teaser. It sparked interest with an image of Charan sitting at a table with numerous gangsters charging towards him, suggesting it's the film’s introduction scene. Rumors suggest this mob fight will give viewers goosebumps similar to 'RRR' and is expected to be a major highlight of the film. After the fight, Charan reportedly boards a helicopter, followed by the song 'Ra Macha Macha.' Record Business? Trade circles predict 'Game Changer' will do substantial business in the Telugu states, with potential theatrical business around ₹150 crores from Andhra Pradesh, Ceded, and Nizam areas. Originally, such high business figures were not anticipated when the film was scheduled for a December release. However, with the release now set for Sankranthi, the business expectations have significantly increased, according to film circles.

      Prabhas on Fire: New Pan-India Projects with Top Directors Across India – Hirani, Neel, Kanagaraj & More!
      Rebel Star Prabhas is currently on a roll in his career, setting up a lineup of pan-India projects in a way no other hero has managed to do. After scoring a solid hit with 'Kalki 2898 AD', Prabhas is actively shooting for 'The Raja Saab'. Recently, he has started filming 'Fauji' under the direction of Hanu Raghavapudi. Additionally, projects like 'Spirit' and 'Kalki 2' are ready to go on floors. Beyond these, it's known that Prabhas has greenlit three more solid projects, preparing to work with star directors from various Indian languages. Let's find out who these directors are and what the movies are about. With Tamil Director Lokesh Kanagaraj... There's a strong buzz that Prabhas will collaborate with Tamil star director Lokesh Kanagaraj, known for blockbusters like 'Khaidi', 'Vikram', 'Master', and 'Leo'. The internet is rife with speculation about this upcoming project, which is expected to be a pan-India film produced by a leading Tollywood production banner. Currently, Lokesh Kanagaraj is directing 'Coolie' with Rajinikanth and will soon start 'Khaidi 2' with Karthi. It's likely that Prabhas's film with Lokesh will commence after these projects. With Hindi Director Rajkumar Hirani... Prabhas has expressed that working with Bollywood star director Rajkumar Hirani would be a dream project. This dream seems likely to come true soon, as buzz suggests that the Rajkumar Hirani-Prabhas project could start rolling soon. There are strong indications from Bollywood that an official announcement might come by the end of this year or early next year. Hirani, known for directing hits like 'Munna Bhai MBBS', '3 Idiots', 'PK', 'Sanju', and 'Dunki', has a dedicated fan base in Hindi cinema, and Prabhas's global fan following could mean that this combo might break all records. With Kannada Director Prashanth Neel... It is known that Prabhas will be working on another film with Kannada star director Prashanth Neel after the whirlwind success of their movie 'Salaar', which captivated audiences with its intense action scenes. Prashanth Neel has already announced a sequel, 'Salaar 2', and even provided a link to the second part at the end of the first movie. However, Neel is currently launching 'NTR 31' with Jr. NTR, and shooting will start soon. Following this film, there's a chance that 'Salaar 2' will begin production. Into the Universe of Prasanth Varma! Young director Prasanth Varma, who gained pan-India attention with 'Hanu Man', is set to collaborate with Prabhas. Prabhas has reportedly given the green light to Varma's story, confirming that this partnership will materialize. The prominent production house Hombale Films is gearing up to produce this movie. Currently, Prasanth Varma is handling two major projects, 'Jai Hanuman' and the debut film of Balakrishna's son Mokshagna Teja. After these, a film with Prabhas is expected to follow.

For the upcoming 'SSMB29' starring Mahesh Babu, director Rajamouli has decided to proceed with a new strategy. Generally, Rajamouli’s movies have extensive scope for VFX, which means equal importance must be given to shooting and graphics work. To address this, the director has devised a master plan. He plans to shoot the VFX-related scenes in advance. Accordingly, pre-production work is underway to ensure these scenes are ready to be handed over to the VFX teams early. This strategy allows for simultaneous completion of VFX work and shooting, potentially speeding up the entire filmmaking process and thrilling the fans. Addressing the Criticisms SS Rajamouli, one of the most esteemed directors in the country, has faced recent criticism for the lengthy durations it takes to release his films, often three to four years. To counter this, it's known that Rajamouli has made strategic decisions regarding VFX work. With such planning, it is expected that the film could be released within one or two years. It is anticipated that 'SSMB 29', even if it starts filming next year, could be released by the end of 2026. Following the Paths of 'RRR' and 'Baahubali' Like his period dramas 'Baahubali' and 'RRR', Rajamouli is reportedly preparing a similar epic narrative for Mahesh Babu. There is strong buzz that this movie will be set in the 18th century and is an ambitious attempt to recreate a story from 225 years ago. Rajamouli plans to authentically portray the tribal looks of hundreds of years ago for the cast. Producer KL Narayana is expected to fund this grand venture with a budget of Rs. 1000 crores, and Hollywood technicians are being hired to meet the production's high standards. Inspiration for the Story The Mahesh Babu-Rajamouli film is rumored to be an adventure thriller set against an African backdrop. In a recent interview, Rajamouli's father and renowned writer Vijayendra Prasad mentioned that they both are huge fans of South African novelist Wilbur Smith, which inspired him to base the screenplay on Smith's books. However, he assures that the screenplay will bear Rajamouli's signature style. MM Keeravani is set to compose the music for the film.

      Release Date: October 31, 2024 Cast: Kiran Abbavaram, Nayan Sarika, Tanvi Ram, Achyuth Kumar, Balagam Jayaram, and others Directors: Sandeep, Sujit Producer: Chinta Gopalakrishna Reddy Music: Sam CS Cinematography: Satish Reddy Masam, Daniel Vishwas Kiran Abbavaram is one of Tollywood's talented young heroes. He made a mark with his debut film 'Raja Vaaru Rani Gaaru' and showed his potential. Despite his subsequent seven films, except for 'SR Kalyanamandapam,' not making an impact, many thought his career might have stalled. However, Kiran made a striking comeback with the pan-India project 'KA,' which garnered a lot of hype through its promotions. The trailer raised expectations, and the film has now been released globally as a Diwali gift. Let's see how it fared. Plot Abhinay Vasudev (Kiran Abbavaram) is a young orphan who grows up grieving the loss of his family. From his childhood, he longs for his parents. Escaping from the orphanage and stealing money from his master, Gurunatham, he leaves. He loves reading books and letters, a passion that leads him on a new path. Finally, he arrives in Krishnagiri and joins as a postman in the village. There he falls in love with Satyabhama (Nayan Sarika), who reciprocates his feelings. Meanwhile, girls in the village start disappearing. Who is behind this mystery, and how does Abhinay Vasudev confront this challenge? That forms the rest of the story. What's the Film Like? The film introduces a fresh concept. The narration, thrilling moments, and climax are well-executed. Strong characters and their engaging presentation capture the audience's attention, especially during the interval and climax scenes. The twists add freshness to the narrative. Kiran Abbavaram excels in the dual variations of his role as Abhinay. Nayan Sarika, as the heroine, delivers a commendable performance that captivates the audience. Balagam Jayaram is impressive, and other principal cast members have justified their roles effectively. How's the Direction? Directors Sandeep and Sujit have somewhat succeeded in capturing the essence of the suspense thriller genre. While there is room for improvement in the screenplay, key scenes have been compellingly shot. Although the concept is interesting, some parts of the screenplay feel slow. The main conflict point could have been clearer, and some unnecessary scenes seem to weaken the suspense. These issues somewhat detracted from the film's overall impact. Technical Aspects The film excels technically. The cinematography by Satish Reddy Masam and Daniel Vishwas breathes life into crucial scenes. Sam CS's music adds strength to the film, and the editing is sharp. Chinta Gopalakrishna Reddy's production values are commendable. Final Thoughts Overall, 'KA' engages audiences with its suspense and thriller elements, underpinned by a strong story. The concept and some thrilling elements significantly elevate the film. Fans of suspense thrillers will likely enjoy this movie. Rating: 3.5/5

The First South Indian Hero Prabhas was the first South Indian hero to have a wax statue at the prestigious Madame Tussauds in the 'Baahubali' getup. Following him, Tollywood stars Mahesh Babu, Allu Arjun, and recently Ram Charan have achieved this honor. If Not an Actor... Prabhas once expressed that working with the famous Bollywood director Rajkumar Hirani would be a dream come true. If he had not been an actor, he mentioned that he would have settled in the hotel business.

      From Child Artist to National Award Winner: Keerthy Suresh's Inspiring Journey in Cinema
      From Child Artist to National Award Winner: Keerthy Suresh's Inspiring Journey in Cinema
      Keerthy Suresh is one of those actresses who prioritizes acting over beauty. Belonging to the Tamil industry, she has also gained significant popularity in Telugu films. Her role as Savitri in the movie 'Mahanati' was phenomenal, earning her a National Award. However, her film career has seen many interesting twists and turns. Today (October 17), on the occasion of Keerthy Suresh's birthday, let's look into some special aspects of her life. As a Child Artist The daughter of actors Suresh Kumar and Menaka, Keerthy Suresh sparkled as a child artist in the Malayalam film 'Pilots'. She also appeared as a child artist in the films 'Achaneyanenikkishtam' and 'Kuberan'. Mother as Chiru’s Heroine.. Daughter as Sister In Chiranjeevi's film 'Punnami Naagu', Keerthy's mother Menaka acted as the heroine. Recently, in the movie 'Bhola Shankar', Keerthy played the significant role of Chiranjeevi's sister. Despite the film not doing well, their performances as siblings were well-received. During the shoot in Hyderabad, Chiranjeevi mentioned during movie promotions that he ensured home-cooked meals were sent to Keerthy throughout the filming. Stalled Projects at the Beginning Keerthy Suresh began her career as a heroine with the film 'Geethanjali', starring Malayalam superstar Mohanlal. However, even before this, she had signed three projects as a heroine, which had also started shooting. Unexpectedly, these three projects were halted midway, leading to great disappointment for her, as she mentioned in an interview. Tagged as Iron Leg Early in her career, the halting of three projects, and the failure of films like 'Geethanjali' and 'Ring Master' in Malayalam, and her first Tamil film 'Idhu Enna Maayam' being a disaster, Keerthy was tagged as an 'Iron Leg'. She faced significant trolling but ignored it and went on to succeed in films, establishing herself as a successful heroine. Turning Point with Mahanati Her first Telugu film 'Nenu Sailaja' was a success, which increased her opportunities in Tollywood and Kollywood. Despite being in commercial films, she felt unfulfilled as an actress until 'Mahanati' came along. Her portrayal of Savitri was critically acclaimed, earning her the National Award for Best Actress and becoming an inspiration to other actresses. Her career graph significantly rose after 'Mahanati'. Series of Failures Post-'Mahanati', it was believed that Keerthy's career would have no downturns, and she did receive a series of offers. However, subsequent films like 'Saamy Square', 'Pandem kodi 2', 'Rang De', and 'Annaatthe' failed to meet audience expectations. Her women-oriented films 'Penguin', 'Miss India', and 'Good Luck Sakhi' also failed to make an impact. Director's Intent to Cast Keerthy Following last year's release 'Dasara', which was a massive success, Keerthy made a strong comeback. Directed by Srikanth Odela with Nani as the hero, the film grossed over 100 crores and received widespread praise for Keerthy's performance. She excelled in the role of Vennela, a rural woman, and received awards like SIIMA and Filmfare for Best Actress. However, it was revealed during movie promotions that director Srikanth Odela initially planned to cast Keerthy as the heroine for 'Dasara' after narrating the movie story and suggested she gain 10-12 kilograms, which she couldn't. Nani mentioned that Odela decided to cast her despite her not being able to gain weight, highlighting that even though he was a debut director and she was a National Award-winning actress, they ended up becoming good friends on the movie sets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-PhzFEt9Wk Keerthy’s Special Talent Not just her face, Keerthy Suresh's voice is also beautiful. Directors have capitalized on her melodious voice, having her sing beautifully the song 'Pudhu Metro Rail' in 'Saamy Square'. She also recently lent her voice to the character of Bujji Vehicle in 'Kalki 2898 AD' and proved her dancing skills with the 'Gandhaari' album. This Year into Bollywood Having already entertained this year with 'Siren' and 'Raghu Thatha', Keerthy is busy with upcoming projects like 'Revolver Reeta', 'Kannivedi', and 'Uppu Kappurambu'. She is set to enter Bollywood with 'Baby John'. In an instance, she mentioned that the roles of Savitri (Mahanati), Vennela (Dasara), and Kalavathi (Sarkaru Vaari Paata) were challenging in her career.

      Yellamma: Young Hero Confirmed for Balagam Venu’s Project, Nani and Teja Sajja Replaced!
      Venu Yeldandi, who entered the industry as a comedian, built his career by playing small roles initially. He then gained popularity as a team leader in the 'Jabardasth' comedy show. Shifting gears to directing, Venu's last year's film 'Balagam' was a blockbuster success, set against a rural Telangana background and received critical acclaim. Naturally, all eyes were on Venu's next project. However, a year after 'Balagam', the absence of a new project announcement from Venu sparked mixed reactions among fans. Amidst this, there’s a strong buzz that Venu has locked a project with a young hero. Venu Directing Nithiin! Venu Yeldandi had previously announced that his second film would be under the banner of producer Dil Raju, who also produced 'Balagam'. The story for this second movie has been ready for a while, and Venu is expected to start production soon. It is rumored that he will be directing young hero Nithiin in his next film. Nithiin has reportedly agreed to the project after some changes were made to the story. If all goes well, the film is expected to start soon. The film, known as 'Yellamma', has also been registered as a title, generating buzz in Tollywood. Nani, Teja Sajja Rejected! Initially, there was significant buzz that Venu Yeldandi's next project would feature Natural Star Nani. Venu had pitched the 'Yellamma' story to Nani, but he was reportedly not satisfied with the second half of the script. Venu stood by the story, leading to Nani's withdrawal from the project. Subsequently, the story was pitched to Teja Sajja, who initially agreed, but this combination did not materialize due to unavoidable reasons. Finally, Venu presented the story to Nithiin, who gave his approval. When Does Shooting Start? Venu Yeldandi’s 'Yellamma' is set to start shooting in February next year. The announcement was made by producer Dil Raju during the pre-release event of 'Janaka Ayithe Ganaka'. Venu was also present at the event. As Venu approached the stage, Dil Raju from the audience asked about Yellamma's start date. Venu humorously replied, "You are the master of all actions here; you tell us. I'm ready to start tomorrow if you say so." To which Dil Raju clarified, "Let’s start in February." https://twitter.com/i/status/1844354638587498984 Awards Galore for 'Balagam' The film 'Balagam', starring comedian Priyadarshi and Kavya Kalyanram, released on March 3 last year, without much initial hype but greatly attracted family audiences, especially from rural areas of Telangana.
