I’ll stick to my sexy image: Namitha

Share

Southern actress Namitha says she has no plans to change her glamour girl image because her fans like her in her sexy avatar.

"I am happy to have genuine fans who wants to see me in best of roles. They advise me sometimes about the type of roles I should do. Many of my fans say that I should not do away with my glamorous image. I know that glamour is my selling point and I have decided to stick to my sexy image and please my fans, " Namitha told.

She is so popular that her fans have built a temple in her name in Tamil Nadu, but she hasn't visited it yet.

"I know my fans have built a temple in a place near Coimbatore. I haven't visited the temple yet. I was busy shooting for films in all the four South Indian languages.

Whenever I have time, I go to Mumbai to be with my family. I love the food prepared by my mother and would not miss any opportunity to be with her. She is also coming to Chennai to be with me during my shooting, " said the actress.

Namitha was here recently to shoot a dance sequence for the Kannada film "Hoo", which is being directed by Ravichandran for producer Dinesh Gandhi.

Namitha, who features in two song and dance sequences, says that she agreed to do it because Ravichandran is also acting in it.

"Ravi sir is a specialist as far as showing his heroines glamorously on the screen is concerned. He gives enough space to his heroines on and off screen. He has given me a very good role in the film which has given me scope to perform and also showcase my glamour quotient, " said Namitha.

Namitha had recently worked in a Malayalam film "Black Stallion" with Kalabhavan Mani which has now been dubbed in Tamil. She also featured in the hit Telugu film "Billa"

Telugu Cinema faced so many problems before, but this year the problems they had were a lot different from before. During the first half of the year, stars were busy with politics and elections, and most films had to stall their shootings and wait, as the stars roamed all over the state. Towards the fag end of the year, release of films was delayed or even stopped due to the political agitations pertaining to separate Telangana. Some films that announced their release date were postponed indefinitely! Even films already in the theaters were called off due to problems with the agitators. Shootings were disrupted, sets suffered arson, cast and crew were attacked, production/distribution offices were attacked and even taken over for a while. The list of atrocities goes on, giving sleepless nights to producers who loan money on high interest rates. The year had only three big hits Arundhathi, Kick, Magadheera but that's better than last year! On the other hand, this year also witnessed a lot of flops too! Interestingly, two dubbed films came up on the list of Telugu hit films this year. More interesting is that they were non-Indian! 2012 and Avatarbecame super-grosser dubbed films of the year, setting their own records and breaking records in some centers. While 150 directors debuted last year, nearly half of that number - 74, to be precise - ventured into the film industry in 2009. Only a few of them are worth-mentioning, though. Following is a monthwise review of Telugu Cinema last year.

January
While 2008 started with Posani Krishna Murali's Aapada Mokkula Vaadu, 2009 started with his Mental Krishna. The film showed his bad taste and proved that he cannot even copy a film properly. (The film is a freemake of Dasari's Swayamvaram.)  Krissnavamsi came up with Sashirekha Parinayam with Tarun and Genelia in the lead but Tarun essentially only supporting her role until the climax. The film was just okay at the box-office. It set a new trend in Tollywood - the movie's original DVD released within 50 days and the film was even telecast by a TV channel within just 100 days of its release! Indumathi, another freemake (of Alfred Hitchcock's much-celebrated film Psycho), didn't hit the bull's eye. Maskaa started off with good openings and settled as average once Arundhati hit the screen. Arundhati was delayed for various reasons, and was finally released to extraordinary openings, becoming one of the big hits of all time in Telugu Cinema. The first 40-day run was tremendous but the collections slowly started fizzling after 6 weeks. Neverthless, it is a blockbuster. Finally, producer Shyamprasad Reddy's hard work paid off! Much delayed and talked-about film Bank was unable to sustain any interest and became a super dud at the box-office, marking the second straight Telugu film and flop for Jackie Shroff (Asthram being the first). Rest of the films... "release ayyi... pOyaayi" (just came and went). Masth under the direction of S.V. Krishna Reddy, marking the Telugu film-making debut of Zee Films Pvt. Ltd., had big names associated with it but failed miserably anyway.

Other duds of the month: Mahanagaram lo... Shiva-Chandu, Muddabanthi, Police Adhikari, Fitting Master,Mister Gireesham, Dadagiri, Shh.. Idi Chaalaa Manchi Ooru, Nallabbaayi-Thellammaayi, Dhee Ante Dhee,BharathMahan.Com, Veta, Manjeera, Sreesailam.

Abroad BO: Sashirekha Parinayam was bought for around twenty five lakh rupees. Though distributors were safe, the exibitors sank into deep trouble with the film being a washout. Maska was bought for around 50 lakh rupees, and the film was a flop for everyone. Arundhati was bought for a whopping one crore rupees and everyone still made money on the film.

Blockbuster: Arundhati

Average: Maskaa, Sashirekha Parinayam

Super Dud: Masth

Debutant directors of the month: G.L.B. Srinivas (Mahanagaramlo... Shiva-Chandu), Harsha Reddy (Indumathi), Ramu (Police Adhikari), Ramana Mogili (Bhairavi), Nani Krishna (Nallabbaayi-Thellammaayi), Viswaprasad (Mister Gireesham), Paamu Seenu (Veta), Akula Raghava (BharatMahan.Com), Arunkumar (Bank),  Saibhanu (Manjeera)

February
This month witnessed the release of 10 straight films. Konchem Ishtam Konchem Kashtam started with a good talk but was unable to sustain the interest. The film did complete 50 days in 99 centers by March, but the producer and distributors too lost money in the project ultimately. Rajasekhar's Sathyameva Jayathe made a lot of pre-release publicity for all wrong reasons, but the final product exited the box-office quite silently. Drona made into the news often for Priyamani's bikini act, and not for the debutant director who comes from Rajamouli's school or for the film's hero Nithin. The film ended up as and addition to the series of flops for the hero. Charmme's 16 Days, a free-make of Hollywood's Lucky Number Slevin (2006), was a dud too, though this film also based its publicity in its heroine's sizzling acts. Not many people were even aware of other releases of the month, such as Subham, Janta, Mondi Mogullu-Penki Pellaalu,Soldier, and Tsunami 7x. Dubbed version of critically acclaimed Tamil director Bala's film, Nenu Devunniwas a disaster at the box-office too, while it's rumored that the dubbing rights were bought for a whopping one-crore rupees! The winner? With not even a threat of a competition from any other film's run, the already successful, trendsetting movie Arundhati continued in the number one slot for the month of February too.

Film-joke of the month: Konchem Ishtam Konchem Kashtam is about divorced parents and marital clashes. Hero Siddharth was found saying in several interviews that their efforts are really paid off even if one divorced couple gets back into the institution of marriage after watching this film. Well, how about the real-life marriage issues of Prakash Raj and even Siddharth himself?!

Debutant directors of the month: Kishore (Konchem Ishtam Konchem Kashtam), G. Sivaprasad Reddy (Subham), Om Prakash Martha (Janta), Karunakumar (Drona), Prabhu Solomon (16 Days), K. Ramana Rao (Mondi Mogullu-Penki Pellaalu), A.M. Chowdary (Tsunami 7x) - only Kishore (a.k.a. Dolly) was promising. Karunakumar's Drona was too hyped for its lack of substance.

Average: Konchem Ishtam Konchem Kashtam

Super Duds: Drona, Sathyameva Jayathe

Abroad BO: Konchem Ishtam Konchem Kashtam was bought for Rs. 70 lakhs and ended up in a loss of Rs. 15 lakhs on the whole. Drona and 16 Days were released abroad but didn't get any close to making a mark.

March
Eight and a half straight films were released this month. (The 50% credit goes to partly-dubbed-partly-reshot Aakashamanta from Tamil.) Shivaji's Naa Girlfriend Baagaa Rich, a free-make of Eight Heads in a Duffel Bag, had richness in its title but ended as a poor one as it didn't meet expectations even in the much-touted aspect of comedy. Suresh Krissna's Mesthri with Dasari Narayana Rao generated a lot of hype and curiosity but the result was very different from all the talk it garnered; the film ended up as a dud even though this film had maximum number of prints (~200) in Dasari's acting career! (Dasari, as usual as it may seem, denies the fact that the film was a washout.) Sunil Kumar Reddy's Sontha Vooru got okay reviews but only L.B. Sriram shone through this film with his strikingly different getup and penning appreciable dialogues. Director Raj Aditya of Pourudu came up with Mallee Mallee that had a suicide backdrop, but sadly committed suicide himself on the day his film was released; the film was a flop too.Mee Sreyobhilashi fame Eswar Reddy's second venture Manorama with Charmme got mixed reviews and went silent at the end. Amma Rajashekar's Beebhatsam with his brother Yuvan in the lead had no takers either. Dil Raju's nearly-straight film Aakashamanta didn't seem to have worked out too. Thus, the month of March did not register a single hit for Tollywood. With the general elections nearing schedule, stars were roaming all over the state and people were watching film stars in road shows and other public gatherings anyway. Bad films and exams added up as more reasons that all finally rendered theaters nearly empty.

Debutant directors of the month: Nagendra Kumar (Naa Girlfriend Baagaa Rich), Vaikunthalavya (Jajimalli)

Abroad BO: Dasari Narayana Rao himself released Mesthri abroad. The film registered itself as the first-ever Telugu film to have its audio released in the USA too simultaneously, and there were several freebies and discounts announced for moviegoers too. Yet, the film didn't make any impact among the audiences abroad. Sontha Vooru was released abroad with a prize money offer of $500 too, but no one was ready to try their luck in theaters. Dil Raju's magic didn't work out well this time, as Aakashamanta failed to get even decent openings overseas!

Average: Aakashamanta

Super Duds: Nearly every movie!

April
16 movies hit the silver screen in the month of April, just about 25% of which were straight Telugu films and the rest were dubbed from English or Tamil. Billa, a remake of legendary NTR's Yugandhar but titled following the Tamil versions from the long past and recent past, was made with a huge budget. It was released amidst huge expectations, but the film's result was not anywhere comparable. From the title and to shot division and camera angles, director Meher Ramesh dished out a merely a faithful copy of the newer Tamil version. Prabhas looked stylish and handsome in his attire of an international don, and Anushka was glamorous too. With these aspects as its "plus points", the film could barely scramble to be an average fare. NRI Narendranath’s  Nene Mukhyamantrinaithe... is a disaster from the word go. It created some hype due to censor problems. But, at the end, it was just a damp squib. (Oh, yeah, the film did come to the theaters... in case you didn't know!) Mumait Khan's Punnami Nagu created much curiosity for her bikini posters and once-crazy combination of Kodandarami Reddy and Yandamuri Virendranath. The film was however a big letdown to everyone, as the once-successful combination was unable to keep up with the present trend, resulting in a disaster. Director Samudra gave an average film with Adhinetha. After a hat-trick of flops like Vijayadasami, Mallepuvvu, and Venkatadri, he churned out another average fare with Adhinetha, which is said to be a freemake of a Marathi film. (Samudra even revealed that the story, originally titled Adhinayakudu, was written for Chiranjeevi first.) The film was supposed to release before the polls in Andhra Pradesh but was somehow released only after the polls. Another film which bit dust in this month is Circus Circus. While the five straight Telugu films were mostly damp at the box-office, 11 films were dubbed into Telugu and released in the month of April: Vishwa (Surya, Sridevi),Ajeyudu (Tony Jha), Andadu-Agadu (Fast and Furious), Ananda Thandavam (Siddarth Venugopal, Tamannah), Seenugadu Maha Muduru (Dhanush, Shriya), Jai Sambasiva (Arjun, Saikumar, Pooja Gandhi), Kalasala (Tamannah), Pandugadu (Shivarajkumar, Hansika), etc. Only three films - Ananda Thandavam, Kalasala, and Seenugadu Maha Muduru - created some interest due to their casting, but even those three failed to click at the box-office.

While less number of films in April was indeed expected due to the elections, a nearly completely damp month just before summer was a blow to Tollywood.

Debutant directors of the month: Narendhranath (Nene Mukhyamantrinaithe...), Umesh kumar. S (Circus Circus)

Abroad BO: The only film that made its way to theaters abroad was Billa. Bought for 46 lakh rupees (for 11 prints), the film could not break even either! The overseas distributors lost a few lakh rupees on the whole.

Average: Billa, Adhinetha

Super Duds: Punnami Nagu

Sheela in 'Adhurs'

Although Nayanatara is bigger actress than her, Sheela is getting all the attention in the publicity ofAdhurs. All because, sexy Sheela looks younger and seems as a good pair with NTR. Also the young heroine has indulged in skin show thereby drawing maximum attention. NTR plays dual role in this entertainer directed by V V Vinayak and he romances these two heroines. Sheela, who has acted in many films in Telugu including Allu Arjun’s Parugu and Maska, is yet to get stardom and is still being considered as budding starlet.

So Sheela, with her new transformed sizzling looks, piggy rides on the stardom of ‘young tiger NTR’. It remains to seen whether this slender beauty gets much deserved break or not.

Much before that, in one speech, he recalled about someone asking his health secret and revealed that after his bypass surgery, doctor prescribed a permissible amount of alcohol and that’s what keeps him fresh and healthy looking. Before that, in one of the interviews for the Eenadu supplement, ANR maintained that he never drank or even smelled alcohol. All this has confused many and though they are trying to figure it out, the industry folks say that they know ANR’s brand and comment as to why he has to bluff at this age.

Is 2010 going to be more worst than 2009?

Share

The year of 2009 will end up with in next few hours, many scars left behind. It was the last month of December which has further paralyzed the people with no proper administration in Andhra Pradesh and bandhs calling very often along with severe agitations in the name of Telangana and United Andhra Pradesh. With onset of 2010, many are expecting that there may be some sorts of relief from all these pains. But, Astrologers are predicting 2010 to be a much more dangerous year than 2009 for the State of Andhra Pradesh and also for the entire country. “It is always a bad omen to start a new year with eclipse. The occurrence of eclipse on the same night when the New Year sets on is not all a good sign for the state and country. With the political turmoil in state reaching its peak already, what we can expect is further more negative impact of these issues and worst side affects making the lives of people further more vulnerable,” said Sri Rama Siddhanthi, a popular astrologer of Hyderabad and Telangana region. Let us keep belief in science and stay optimistic with bright future waiting to share with all of us in the year 2010.

Police And Army @ Mohan Babu's House

What is seen in reel life seems to be happening in real life for collection king Mohan Babu now. His statements have triggered a few and right now, his house looks no less than a strong fortress. This has been guarded by teams of police and army, that too with heavily armed weapons. Three layers of security have been arranged at his residence in the form of police, army and the star’s private security. The reason for that happens to be a threat from Bajrang Dal on Mohan Babu’s statement regarding Hyderabad belonging to the Muslims. It is also heard that the High Court has issued an arrest warrant for Mohan Babu followed by Bhajrang Dal’s petition. As it is, the Telangana threat is already there. Sources reveal that the security cover is not allowing cars to slow down or stop at his residence. If anyone is trying to take photos that is not allowed. Overall, the situation near his residence is quite tense and if the T-goons try to do any mischief, they will be hammered big time, say the security personnel.

Hyderabad’s loss Chennai, Karnataka’s gain

Share

With bandhs becoming the order of the day and violence on the streets bringing business and life to a standstill, the sentiments of Separate state for Telangana seem to take its toll on this city, Hyderabad, once much favoured destination for all the foreign investments. To cite a recent happening – on wednesday,  India’s leading trade and industry body –  Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) – announced the decisiont to move its prestigious annual partnership summit to be held in January, from Hyderabad to Chennai. It took years of efforts to bring the summit to Hyderabad. But events of days were enough to change the venue.

The bandhs and violence are bad for business. Various IT and Pharma companies are enquiring about the situation. The possibility of any new investments coming to Hyderabad till the environment is conducive, is ruled out. Shekhar Agarwal, Vice-presicent of Federation of Andhra Pradesh Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FAPCCI), feels that  MNCs and domestic giants are developing cold feet over future investments in the city. The same sentiments are expressed by the local entrepreneurs too.

A senior official of AP government said, “In the last week at least two proposals for units near Hyderabd have been with drawn. They will now be set up in Chennai.“

“Recent attacks on HSBC’s BPO centre in Vizag startled the gloabal IT/ITeS giants. Many of them made Hyderabad their base. Their patience is wearing thin. The situation has to come under control before it becomes to late to repair the damage done to the state’s image.

Otherwise Hyderabad’s loss could soon be Bangalore or Chennai’s gain,” warns Som Mittal, Nasscom president. This is what political critics have been complaining about Chidambaram and Veerappa Moily.

It is only economic activity and business that bring prosperity to any city or state. But today there is anxiety among investors. Many of them run 24×7 operations. “The continued bandhs and violence interrupt and hit the work of IT/ITeS. Worrisome factor is that many of these MNCs, who put Hyderabad on the global map, may soon beat a hasty retreat. They will exit quietly and Hyderabad will be the biggest loser,”says the top gun of a leading IT company.

Biotech and Pharma companies also are alarmed at the way things are going. The trucks carrying the raw materials and goods are being stopped. With the bandhs being announced on every otherday, running the business is becoming a nightmare. Even the hotel industry is bearing the blunt of the situation. Most of the nearly 15 hotels in the  3-5star category have seen occupancies crash by around 50% in the city. Many conferences, parties, and rooms were cancelled. Even the plans of expansions plans of 3000 romms over next couple of years are shelved by 8-odd hotels. Clearly all these events indicate that Hyderabad is losing its brand for investments and this could be the gain of some other city
