ALLU Arjun or MALLU Arjun??

   Posted by: admin    in celebs, Movies

Lately, I’ve been reading many articles on Times Of India, Rediff, etc about a Telugu actor becoming a Superstar in Malayalam film industry. He’s none other than our Bunny (Allu Arjun) and his latest film: Aarya 2 (below average in Telugu) is running successfully all over Kerala. Even his previous films like: Aarya, Happy, Desamuduru & Parugu have performed well with their dubbed versions! Will this open gates for other Telugu heroes in the Malayalam film industry that’s being ruled by Mammootty & Mohanlal from decades??

Read: Times Of India Article & Rediff Article

And, I’m so happy with the news of a Telugu Star making it BIG in other languages (haven’t heard of it ever before). Until now, we’ve been seeing other language actors (Rajinikanth, Kamalhasan, Vikram, Soorya) becoming superstars in Telugu. Telugu heroes: Chiranjeevi (Kannada & Hindi), Nagarjuna (Tamil & Hindi), Venkatesh (Hindi), etc have tried it before and failed to attract them! And I hope that this new found craze for MALLU ARJUN movies will open doors for new sources of business for Telugu Films!

Note: Personally, I hate Allu Arjun‘s looks, dialogue diction and his over-action. But just with his dances, different-roles and pumping energy, he has managed to become popular and a STAR in Telugu Film Industry! I’m still curious to know the reason behind his new stardom in Malayalam Film Industry!

   Posted by: admin    in Movies

Ram Gopal Varma is coming up with a sequel to his critically acclaimed hit film: PHOONK. This PHOONK II will be released in all the 3 languages of Telugu (as AAVAHAM), Tamil (as BOMMAAYI-2) and Hindi (as PHOONK-2). This sequel is being directed by Milind Gadakkar and RGV produces it! RAMU has been trying to scare us with his horror films (Raat, Bhoot, Phoonk) from many years and has been successful only in parts. We’ll need to see if does that this time at least!

Phoonk II has RGV’s new found talent: Sudeep as it’s hero and other cast includes: Amrita, Ehsaan, Rishab, Maneesh, etc!

MAHESH BABU in new Thumbs Up AD – STILLS

   Posted by: admin    in celebs, Movies

Looks like Telugu Superstar: Mahesh Babu is more interested to act in Ad Films/Promos rather than acting in a full length feature film. He seems busy with his Thumbs Up ads one after the other, but it has been ages since his movie got released. Whatever be the reason (personal problems, delay in schedules, etc), MAHESH has to pace up his work and make sure that his next movie (in the direction of Trivikram) will get released even before the audience (at least the normal viewers) forget him…!

The above posted pictures are of his shoot for the promos of new Thumbs Up ad and was shot for few days in Malaysia…!

On the other hand, it’s heard that Ram Charan Teja has been selected as the National brand ambassador (not just for AP and Telugu Media) for PEPSI along with Dhoni and he will be soon featuring in Pepsi promos that will be aired on National Media. It’ll be great if this turns out to be true!
