Recently, the pooja ceremony of both these films was held amidst much fanfare. The actor is making sure that three of his films will release in the next year. Incidentally, none of the films of the actor were released in this year.
The latest news that is doing rounds is that the Charan is going to play dual role for the first time in his career in V V Vinayak’s film which is being produced by Danayya. The film is touted to be a mass entertainer. Kajal Agarwal is the heroine of the film. The shooting of the film will start only after the actor wraps up his current project Racha.
This is certainly going to be big news for mega fans as they haven’t tasted a hit postMagadheera. They have pinned lot of hopes on these projects and we wish Charan lives up to their expectations this time. His last film Orange is a commercial failure. Stay tuned for more updates. 'Inkennallu' releasing on Dec 30
Rafi, Kusumanjali and Nagineedu are acting as main leads in a film titled 'Inkennallu'. The film recently completed censor formalities and the first copy of the film is ready. The makers are planning to release the film on December 30.
Rafi is directing and producing the film on Rafi movies banner. According to the Director this movie is based on separate Telangana state movement and the Struggle of the people living in Telangana to save their history and culture. He noted that this movie has to be watched by everyone to know the cause for separate Telangana.
And he requested the distributors and exhibitors to co-operate and support small films. Kusumanjali is playing female lead of the film. Rafi himself composed the music for this film. Ram Charan 'Racha' in Talakona Forest
Racha movie starring Ram Charan andTamanna is curently progressing at Talakona forest near Tirupati, where the unit is canning a action episode on Ram Charan, Tamanna and other under the supervision of Fight Master Stun Shiva .
Racha is an out and out mass entertainer and it will have high voltage special action episodes. Allan-Amin, Ram Lakshamanand Stun Siva are composing action episodes for Racha. Sampath Nandi is directing this film under Mega Super Good Movies banner. Manisharma is the music director. The movie is expected to be release in the month of March.
Vidya Balan’s The Dirty Picture which was released in Telugu and Tamil along with original Hindi version has proved to be a big hit at the box office. It has collected close to Rs. 65 crore nett in just ten days, that too only in India.
The Dirty Picture collected 11 crore nett in its second weekend at Indian box office. This proves that the film hasn’t lost the steam and is likely to rake in few more crores before the business comes to an end.
As per early estimates The Dirty Picture is likely to join the 100 crore club and if it does, it would be a phenomenal feat for a film which has no big star to boast of. With the inspiration of TDP, many more Dirty Pictures are in pipeline, says the buzz.
Super hit Tamil film Ko, which was also a big hit in Telugu as Rangam is all set to go to Bollywood soon. Popular directorPrakash Jha is planning to remake it in Hindi. The cast and crew haven’t been finalized yet.
Earlier there was buzz that Akshay Kumaris keen on doing the lead role in Hindi remake of Rangam. Later we heard that the original director K.V. Anand is in plans to direct the Hindi version. However, the film finally landed in Prakash Jha’s hands.
Rangam has been praised as the best scripts in the recent times and if handled well it is likely to click in Hindi too. Let’s wait and see who will play the roles of Jeeva and Ajmal in the Hindi version.
Pawan Kalyan’s Panjaa opened to negative talk and the talk hasn’t improved until now. Even though the collections in the first weekend are pretty good, Panjaa should hold its ground at least for couple more weeks to enter the safe zone.
Adding to the woes of Panjaa, the pirates are attacking the film black and blue. Producers of Panjaa have failed utterly in controlling the piracy. Despite all their warnings and efforts, Panjaa piracy prints are being shared and circulated online.
If they couldn’t completely erase these off, Panjaa will surely face bigger problems at the box office. Pawan Kalyan’s previous film Theenmaar faced similar problems, whereas his successful Jalsa wasn’t attacked in this aggressive fashion.
Director Puri Jagannath is the best among his contemporaries when it comes to finishing off a film on schedule. In the modern times, nothing can be predicted and could be done in time. Even seasoned directors are facing problems with getting their project ready within less time.
But Puri Jagannadh said that he would complete Businessman film in just 75 days and as he told, the film is ready in 74 days. This is not a mean feat as the film has one of the biggest stars in the lead. Any director would take at least six months to wrap up aMahesh Babu’s film.
Puri proved that even a Mahesh Babu film could be completed in time if they have pucca script and schedule on hand. Businessman will be releasing on January 11 without any delay.
Nandamuri Taraka Ratna, who is requesting fans and media to address him as NTR in short, is planning to release his latest filmNandeeswarudu on a high scale. This movie is slated for release on December 23. Nagarjuna’s Rajanna is hitting the marquee on the same day.
Rajanna is carrying high expectations and being aware of it, Tarak is ready to throw a challenge at it. Taraka Ratna hasn’t scored single hit in his entire career so far and it is interesting to see how his film would survive against the biggest opponent.
Nandeeswarudu is a remake of Kannada hit Deadly Soma. Tarak is extremely confident about the film to give him the first taste of success.
With Panjaa not living up to expectations, producers are planning to capitalize on this week as a big release (Rajanna) is coming up next week. As of now three movies are slated for release on this Friday. Tamil hitEngeyum Eppothum is releasing in Telugu as Journey.
Uday Kiran’s film Nuvvekkadunte Nenakkadunta is also slated for release on this Friday. Priyamani’s Kshetram too is gearing up, but nothing has been confirmed regarding its release. Journey is likely to take a good start at the box office, due to the buzz surrounding it.
Rajanna will be the last big release of this year and we hope that it ends 2011 on a high note. Meanwhile focus would be on this week’s releases. Let’s see if they could make any mark at the cash counters.
Manchu Lakshmi Prasanna is all set to try her luck as the lead lady soon. After making debut with negative role in Anaganaga O Dheerudu, Lakshmi did a supporting role in Dongala Mutha. Right now she is doingDepartment movie in Hindi, in which she is paired up with Sanjay Dutt.
Lakshmi’s first film as the heroine is titledGundello Godaari. This film will be directed by debutante Kumar underLakshmi Prasanna pictures banner. This is a bilingual film and Lakshmi chose AadiPinisetty as the hero in it.
Aadi is a well known actor in Tamil. He is also known to Telugu audience with the films Oka V chitram and Vaishali. Ilayaraja is scoring the music for this film.
Actor turned director JD Chakravarthy is yet to score a hit under his name as a director. He directed Homam, Siddham and Money money more Money movies to date and none of those have clicked at the box office.
However, JD is not giving up hope and is coming up with yet another film. This timeSrikanth will be playing the lead role in his film. Srikanth and JD acted together in few films at the start of their career. J Samba Siva Rao will produce this film. He recently made Daggaraga Dooramga with Sumanth.
The regular shoot of this film will start from December 26. Other cast and crew details will be revealed soon.

The actor, who turns 61 today, has more than 63,000 fans club across the globe with a huge fan following in Japan and UAE. It is a known fact that no one Indian actor has ever enjoyed this kind of fan following in their career. When he was hospitalized in early 2011, the whole came to standstill mode and his loyal fan did everything possible (tonsuring heads, special poojas and various welfare activities) for the wellbeing of their matinée idol. And now the star is back with a bang; he is all set to begin his first animation flick Kochadaiyaan, to be directed by his daughter Soundarya. Rajni's is the typical story that can be described by the adage "From rags to riches". Rajinikanth, then known as Sivaji Rao, began his service as a ticket collector in a local shuttle bus in Bangalore. When he was discovered by the legendary K.
