Srimanthudu is going great guns at the box office. Second day collections were superb and the third day opened on a great note.
Here's some spice from Dubai, where the Tollywood fraternity were put up for SIIMA awards.
Pataas was the first big commercial success of Nandamuri Kalyanram and he then decided to produce Kick 2 with Raviteja.
Srimanthudu is hogging all limelight now. With less than 24 hours for the release of the film, the buzz is really huge. This has got someone (read Ravi Teja) worried.
Prabhas starrer Baahubali 2 is yet to go on the floors, but the business of the film has commenced already.
Two days before the release of Srimanthudu, Bollywood’s leading production house EROS International has bought all rights of the movie for a whopping amount. This is strange.
Mahesh Babu who is also one of the producers of Srimanthudu is making sure that there won't be any hurdles for the film from any corners.
Nandamuri Kalyan Ram ended his poor run as hero with Pataas that went onto be a runaway hit. This is one of the few Telugu films of recent times that have earned profits to all parties involved.
When Sreemanthudu was announced as the title of Mahesh's film, there was general feeling in the industry that it reminds good old days of Telugu cinema.
Akshay Kumar, who is known for his action-packed roles in films, will reportedly play the role of a gay person in his next.
The massive success of Baahubali has apparently made S.S. Rajamouli the most sought after director in India. He is being wooed, pampered, cajoled and coaxed by the biggest names in Bollywood to direct a film.
He is one of the senior heroes in Tollywood with a playboy image. She is an anchor with super popularity, now into event management as well. They met at an event and sparks flew immediately.
It has now become lucrative business for all stakeholders to exhibit special shows of a big star movie, on the day prior to release.
Pawan Kalyan who began shooting for his latest film has now decided to refrain from uttering any political statements or touring places in Andhra Pradesh for political reasons for another six months or so.
After fighting over many issues regarding their big movie, Kick 2, producer Kalyan Ram and director Surender Reddy have made peace.
