Director Suseendran has completed the entire shooting of his off beat film 'Azhagarsamiyin Kuthirai' and moved into post production. One the work is over he will begin his yet untitled film starring Vikram.
Vikram is realising one of his dreams of doing double roles in a film. And for the heroine there were a few choices. Vikram wanted to have Amala Paul who is doing ‘Deivamagan’ with him for this film also. But it was the director who took the final call and finalised the new Tollywood gorgeous Deeksha Seth.
Deeksha Seth was a 2009 Miss India contest finalist. She debuted in the Telugu film ‘Vedam’ opposite Allu Arjun. After doing two more big films - ‘Mirapakay’ opposite Raviteja and ‘Wanted’ opposite Gopichand - Deeksha Seth is opening her account in Kollywood opposite Vikram.
Though the year 2010 ended on a bitter note with huge losses for Tollywood, January 2011 brought some respite in the form of three films that worked at the box office. If our sources in film industry are to be believed, 'Mirapakaya' of Raviteja is doing good business even after two weeks after its release.
'Golconda High School' starring Sumanth evoked good response from multiplex audience and ditto with Nani's 'Ala Modalaindi'.
'Ala Modalaindi' a slapstick comedy with hero playing 'Gay' shade charecter, released without much publicity is running housefull in several theatres and many a places, theatres have been increased for this movie as the collections are encouraging.The word of mouth publicity for this film is strong and young audience are thronging to theatres.
As per the latest report, 'Mirapakaya' collected Rs 25.4 crore in two weeks. So, January this year proved lucky for the industry with already three decent hits. Hope more blockbusters will follow this year.
Gopichand, Deeksha Seth starrer 'Wanted' directed by writer turned director B V S Ravi will launch its audio on January 2nd. Chakri composed music for this action thriller.
Venigella Ananda Prasad is producing this flick. The movie is all set to release in February across the state.
"Gopichand has his own style in doing action films. We added love and sentiment to his action to make this movie." B V S Ravi informed.
A few heroines in Tollywood are signing so many movies offlate that their movie releases are clashing. This season, Anushka Shetty, Richa Gangopadhyay, Taapsee, Priyamani and Deeksha Seth have multiple releases that are hitting the screens close to the dates of one another. For instance, Anushka's ' Nagavalli just released and her 'Ragada' is all set to hit the screens. Half of the theatres in the state will be screening movies starring Anushka.
Ditto with Priyamani. While her 'Ragada' is releasing this week, 'Bet' a Tamil dubbed movie starring her is also releasing in a week's time.Richa who did a surprise role in 'Nagavalli', is romancing Ravi Teja in 'Mirapakaya' that will release at the end of this month.
Taapsee will run around trees in 'Vasthadu Naa Raju' with Vishnu Manchu and also be seen with Prabhas in 'Mr. Perfect', the dates of both these films are close to one another. Deeksha Seth's 'Mirapakaya' and 'Wanted' will also be in the theatres almost at the same time.
Looks like the actresses are competing with themselves at the box office this time.
Shooting of ‘Mirapakai’ directed by Harish Shankar and produced by Ramesh Puppala on the banner of Yellow Flowers, with Crazy Star Raviteja, Richa Gangopadhyay and Deeksha Seth in the lead is almost complete.
The film has music from Thaman and the songs were being choreographed in exotic locales of Switzerland now.
The film was also shot in several abroad schedules like Bangkok, Europe besides in Delhi and Agra in India. Post-production works are also simultaneously in progress.
The producer says, ‘We are making efforts to release the film on December 30.’ Prakash Raj, MS Narayana, Brahmanandam, Dharmavarapu Subrahmanyam, Kota Srinivasa Rao, Nagababu and othes are in the cast.
Oh Boy Sunil’s a busy man! Besides working for RGV’s ‘Katha Darsakathvam Screenplay Appal Raju’, he has now signed a new movie with an associate director of SS Rajamouli.
Sunil will act as the hero for the new movie titled ‘Napoleon’ (spelling subject to change) directed by Koti, an associate of Rajamouli. And listen up all of you, ‘Vedam’ fame pretty girl Deeksha Seth will be Sunil’s heroine! MM Keeravani who composed the music for Sunil’s ‘Maryada Ramanna’ (MR) will handle the music for the new movie and not just him, Ram Prasad, the cinematographer of ‘MR’ will handle the camera.
The new movie is produced by Ganesh Indukuri for Sanvi Productions. The movie will go on floors, soon!
I watched Vedam 4 nights ago, it was one of the greatest Telugu movies I have ever seen, I swear! The director lived up to the expectations, really well. I know its a month and 12 days late to review this movie but, I just have to express my feelings about this movie. I loved this movie soo much, it will always be in my heart. :) I am sure that this movie will win a couple of awards..
1st of all here is the Cast Listing so I don't have to remind of who is who :D :
Manoj Manchu-Vivek Chakravathy
Allu Arjun-'Cable' Raju a.k.a Anand Raju
Anushka-Saroja a.k.a 'Amalapuram' Saroja
Nagayya-Ramalu
Saranya-as Ramalu's daughter in law
Manoj Bajpai-Rahim Qureshi
Siya Gowtham-as Rahim's wife
Lekha Washington-Lasya
Deeksha Seth-Pooja Story -or should I say stories.. 1st story: Vivek is rock star, who has a band that includes his girlfriend Lasya. They are on their way to perform in Hyderbad from Bangalore. After they reach Hyd. some events happen...
2nd story: Ramalu, a sari weaver has debts to be payed off. So, one day the money lender takes away his grand son to work on his field. He can only be set free if they pay the debt. So, now the only option they have is to sell his daughter in law's kidney, and they go to Hyderbad for that.
3rd story:Is about Cable Raju , who is educated but works as a Cable man, in the Jubliee Hills slum area. He has a rich girl friend Pooja, who thinks that he is rich too. But he acts like he is rich. Raju needs Rs. 40,000 to take her to this expensive party, what he does is his story. 4th story: Is about Rahim, who is a good Muslim man,leaving to Dubai with his wife. If you haven't seen the movie I won't say why they are leaving to Dubai. But, without doing anything he gets into the bad list of the police. To sum up this story is about that not all Muslims are bad or the same. 5th story: Is about Saroja, a prostitute that wants to start her own 'company' with her friend Karpooram. Both have no other way to live. But first they have to get out of the prostitute house they are in. What happens after they get out forms their story. ** All the stories take place on Dec 30-31 Direction-Dialouge-Story-Screenplay-Cinematography All five of these were great in the movie. But I think a big hand of applause goes to the Director,Writer,Dialouge,and Screenplay writer Radhakrishna Jagarlamudi aka Krish, for portraying such a marvelous and realistic story. Hats off to you dude! The dialogues were just so thought provoking, I swear!! I actually thought about some of the dialogues for two days! I really don't care if I sound weird,lol :D. The dialouge I thought about alot was "Sariga Savalaanikudda dubulu Kaavala raa" said by Allu Arjun. Which in english means: Even to die you gotta have money. I thought it was thought provoking because I was like wow! Thats totally true! cause if you see the movie,you will totally understand! Not saying that you should get money in wrong ways but, its saying Man! You need money for everything even for dying! When they showed Anushka who played a prostitute in the story they didn't show her in any vulgarity,which is good but we do understand about her through the dialogues not by what they show on screen. Cinematography was great too :D The movie was shown very realistically and Cinematography was done by VS Ghana Sekhar. Music: Loved the songs! :D Ok,lets start off with my favorite song! Sorry,not going in order. My favorite song was Prapacham Naaventosthunte featuring Allu Arjun,Deeksha Seth and sung by Anuj Gurwara,Achu,Chaitra,Allu Arjun. So, I think the song makes you want to get up and dance! :D I really enjoyed the beat of the song very cool. :)The English lyrics( O baby fallin fallin Just love this feelin feelin Can't get you outta myyyy mind every body shake your booty go! -repeat-every chick in this pool dressed in white you like like an angel and I really know why I know why...) actually make sense,which is a first for the Telugu cinema industry, okay just kidding.Being a Telugu I'm being a bit harsh, but the truth hurts. ;)The female voice was very apt for the song :D and they said Allu Arjun sang some part of the song but I can't tell lol :D , they all sound the same. So, if you find his voice please do comment on this post. :D I really liked the visuals too,they were cool and upbeat. But I just loved the song! :D Even though its only like 2 minutes and 32 seconds, its still awesome! :D <3
The second song I liked was Engire pothe, which was featured on Anushka and sung by Sunitha,and M.M Keeravani. Sunitha sang it beautifully in the right way its supposed to be sung and Anushka acted well too in the song. Rupayi was also a good song had meaningful lyrics about money. All the other songs were great too but those are the only three that stuck out to me. :)
Likes: Obviously, I liked the story,I already told you the reason why. :) The dialouges,direction,screenplay, cinematography, and music reasons have been said why. I really liked all the characters in the movie, they really fitted well in their roles. But,I would say my favorite character was Cable Raju because he was an honest guy,even though he lied at first. I like how he gave back the money to Ramalu. Allu Arjun spoke the dialouges very well too, the accent fitted his character. :) It was funny when he said rich people don't smile. LOL! that cracked me up! :D I would have to say this is his best performance so far, so Parugu is his second best performance. :)Anushka was great too like always! :) good acting done by her and her best role after Arundhathi. :) This has to be Manoj Manchu's best role he has ever played so far! NO KIDDING! :D He was rocking!! :D Second best would have to be Nenu Meeku Telusa/Ennai Theriyuma. Rest of the cast was awesome ,Deeksha is really adorable :D Nagayya was great for a first timer too he was very natural :) and I really liked the person who dubbed for Deeksha, her voice sounded super cool :D Who ever dubbed for Anushka are awesome! because to speak in that slang is not easy without sounding fake if you understand what I mean! I LOVED HOW THE LIFE LESSONS WERE SHOWN IN THIS MOVIE!!! :D <3
*******SPOILER ALERT*******
Dislikes: I didn't like how they introduced Anushka last. LOL! :D also how "Prapancham Naaventosthunte" was only 2:33. The ending I seriously hated, JUST HATED How Allu Arjun and Manoj Manchu died!!! :( It just broke my heart I could'nt control my tears when I watched the ending. :'( I was happy that the police understood Rahim so I was happy crying, but when I saw that they died I couldn't stop crying even after the movie ended :'(!!!
*******SPOILING DONE*******
THEEND: So at the end, I liked everything except the ending, see its like this I like the ending for 40% but disliked it 60%. It was too sad :'( As I watched the movie the characters became real, which means the actors themselves have acted naturally, so naturally that they made me cry at the end.But I would give it a 4/5 and you may not like it but sorry its my opinion ;)
