Actor-producer Vishal Krishna, who is currently working on Tamil thriller "Thupparivaalan", will star in the yet-untitled Tamil remake of Telugu hit "Temper", which will go on the floors later this year.

"The project was originally rumoured to feature actor Simbu. However, Vishal has been officially brought on board. He will start work on it as soon as he completes Mysskin's 'Thupparivaalan'," a source told IANS.

The source added that Vishal really liked the film and felt he could do justice to the lead character, originally played by actor Jr NTR.

Krishna Vamsi Or Krish: The Stars Will Decide!

Nandamuri Balakrishna has decided to give his 100th film to Krish. Ever since the news was announced, the industry has been in a tizzy as it was least expected news.

Originally, Sai Korrapati and 14 Reels were supposed to produce Balayya’s 100th film. But Krish wants to produce this film on his own banner now.

Sai Korrapati and 14 Reels reportedly spent the whole day in trying to change Balayya’s mind. He was advised that he would be better off going along with Krishna Vamsi or Boyapati Seenu for his 100th film as there would be no threat commercially.

On the other hand, Krish’s movies get a good name but do not make big money. Therefore Balayya was advised to give his 101st project to Krish.

Listening to all the arguments, Balayya finally took a decision. Guess what? His astrologer will decide whether Balayya should go with Krish, Krishna Vamsi or Boyapati.

And knowing Balayya, one need not be surprised even if the astrologer ends up directing the film.

RUDHRAMADEVI - REVIEW

STORY:

RUDHRAMADEVI is a period drama graphing the

 early life and times of Rani Rudhramadevi, prominent

 Queen of Kakatiya. She was raised as a man Rudhradevudu

 from her puerility to secure the Kakatiya Empire from

 falling into foes hands. With the help of Minister Shiva 

Devaiyya (Prakash Raaj) and father Ganapathideva

 (Krishnam Raju), she excels in her action skills by 

indulging in sword fight and horse riding. Her secret is

 kept secret for 25 years, before a spy Mandanika 

(Hamsa Nandini) reveal true identity of Kakathiya 

dynasties next kin. From then Rudhramadevi gets

 caught up in the power struggle, issues with her courtiers,

 from the different empires, generals in her employ and 

sudden attack by Mahadeva Nayakudu (Vikramjeet).

 How did she save everyone from attacks? Was she

 successful in saving Kakathiya dynasty from falling?

 Did Gonna Ganna Reddy really hate Rudhramadevi? 

It forms the crux of the story line.

Star Performance

Anushka Shetty was very believable and appreciable as

 a royal torrid and a honorable woman. Hers is a dual 

character, that of next to kin “Rudhradeva” and of powerful

 “Rudhramadevi” are superb. She plays her dual role in her

 characters in style and lends credibility to both the
characters.Allu Arjun stayed true to his character. There
 weren’t really any extra unnecessary scenes with
the sole purpose to further glorify his character. His
 Telangana dialect deserves a special applause.
 His scenes are major assets of the film. Rana Daggubati

did a decent job, but he had nothing much to do. Nithya
 Menonhas a two-bit presence, and her only task is to
smile or look grim.. Catherine Tresa did her bit well.
The others in the cast AdityaMenon,Vikramjeeth, JP,
 Prakash Raaj, Aditi Chengappa and Suman are not
 toobad though nobody delivers a performance worth
 mentioning. Krishnam Rajuwas wasted in a short role,

 similarly Venu Madhav, Ajay, Vennela Kishoreand Baba

 Sehgal comedy failed to tickle the funny bones. Veteran
actressOoha’s children Roshan (Chalukya Veerabadhrudu)
and Medha (Rudramadevi)are promising in their short roles.

 Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Voice Over is major

 asset to the film.

Techinical Team

The story itself is compelling and because it is based on
true story of RaniRudhramadevi makes it all the more
 amazing.“Rudhramadevi” is one ofthose important true
 stories thatneeded to be told by someone other than Guna
 Sekhar. Iwonder why director Guna Sekhar, who till date
 had scripted good films like Laathi, Okkadu, Chudalianni
 Undi, Ramayanamand Manoharamventured on this
 venturein the first place.

 It’s mostly the fans of Allu Arjun andAnushka who
madeit to the Benefit shows of this new release. To such
audienceshouting or whistling for a few times from the
 start of the film speaks for theflimsiness of it all.

The main issue with the film is that Guna Sekhar, who
himself scripted the film, faltered in the script department
 itself. Eventhe dialogues were unbearable and silly at
 times. As of thedirection the less said, the better. The
director completely failed to highlight memorable moments
 from RaniRudhramadevi’srule and the struggle she went
throughto look and be like a man.One of the most important
 lesson for a film maker mustlearn is “Show the content, don’t
 tell it”. What this actually= means is that rather handling the
 viewer at every point the directorwants to get across, the
 writer should let the details come out naturally as a part
of the story. To illustrate with exampleswhat sort of woman
 Rudhramadevi is, what did she do forKakathiya kingdom?
 Rather telling the point through a voiceover, let the viewer
 see the content for himself. With filmbeing complete visual
 medium, this is not a kind of problem.

 I was expecting from aperiod drama, unfortunately
this was a biggest problem with “Rudhramadevi”.

The cinematography Ajayan Vincent is really something to
 appreciate.The way he shot “Avuna Neevena Ne
 Vedhukutunna”song and characters introduction shots are
 the only saving grace. The music by Maestro Iiaiyaraaja is
perfect tuned with the periodand BGM elevates the action
 episodes. Even the picturization of thesongs aregood.
The movie is very long 158 minutes, could have been
done abetter editing (A Sreekar Prasad) job. The costumes are
 good. Boththe ladies and gents wear are completely fitted
 out with Kakathiyanstyle from head to toe. Yards of rich
 luscious fabric,decently decorated laces, beautifully recreated
 sculptures, flowers and jewels. Visual Effectsare high light of
 the film for this shoe string budgeted film.

 Art work deservesa special mention. There isn't much to write
 home about the other departments.Production values of Gunaa
Team Works is good.

Analysis:

Rudhramadevi is a monolithic and epic movie with spectacular visual

 effects and beautiful scenery. I liked how they presented Rudhramadevi's

 character and her struggle to be a powerful man in spite of heavy pressures

. It’s a realistic looking period war film thats a complete crowd pleaser. 

Breathtaking in scope and action and surprisingly precise characterizations

 despite whatever ethnically dubious casting choices. Gunaa's expertise

 in the machinery of the genre reaches its pinnacle. The Rudhramadevi -

 Gonna Ganna Reddy final scene is stroke of genius. On the whole,

 Rudhramadevi is another epic from master Guaa, very enjoyable.

FINALLY MUST WATCH TO KNOW OUR

PRIDE AND HISTORY.

It was quite an enterprising day for Amitabh Bachchan, as he made his first public appearance in his capacity as Maharashtra’s brand ambassador for Tigers, batting for the preservation of the endangered species.

Amitabh Bachchan kickstarted his tenure with a jungle safari in Sanjay Gandhi National Park accompanied by ministers and politicians. The safari was a successful one as not only did the team spot tigers, one of them even followed the safari bus for a good four kilometres. Post his hour long safari, Big B addressed a large audience and appealed to one and all to save the rapidly dwindling population of tigers.

“I will consider myself worthy as a brand ambassador when tiger preservation and securing their safety becomes successful. If my voice or face can provide anything good to this initiative, I will pledge myself. I have been in Mumbai for 65 years. But the safari showed me images that I have never seen before. And these are the things that makes me work for it. What makes me proud is that in the middle of the city, there is a national park which is a miracle and we have to save it,” said Amitabh Bachchan.
