Film Gossips

4 Directors are working on the script for recently launched NTR movie Sakthi. Mehar Ramesh is going to direct this movie on a grand scale.

Yandamuri Veerendranath, JK Bharavi and DS Kannan are working on the script along with Mehar Ramesh. Yandauri Veerendranath previously directed 2 movies, Agni Pravesam and Stuvartpuram Police Station. JK Bharavi directed Chandra Vamsam in Telugu and few Kannada Movies. . DS Kannan very recently directed Sarai Veerajju. In that way 4 directors are working on the script side for this movie.

There was one idiom which says “Too many cooks spoil the Brooth”. We have to wait and see whether the 4 of them break this idiom and give a successful movie.

Actor Junior NTR will marry Narne Lakshmi Pranita, daughter of Narne Srinivasa Rao and Narne Mallika.

Mallika is the niece of Telugu Desam president, Nara Chandrababu Naidu. The news is confirmed by Naidu and other family members from NTR’s side. A Telugu Desam leader maintained that the engagement, a low-key ceremony, took place three days ago.

The marriage ceremony will be held in May. The process of match making has been on for four months. Narne Srinivasa Rao is the chairman of the StudioN channel. The engagement coincides with the takeover of StudioN by Lokesh Naidu, son of Chandrababu Naidu. This development assumed significance in the Nandamuri and Nara family with political overtones.

Pranitha is currently studying final year Intermediate at a private college in Hyderabad.

The new film of NTR titled Shakti in the direction of Mehar Ramesh on Vyjayathi Movies banner was launched at the Golf Club, Gachibowli, Hyderabad. Ashwini Dutt is producing the flick.

Ace director K. Raghavendra Rao switched on the camera, while Dasari Narayana Rao sounded the clapboard. Rebel star and former Union Minister Krishnam Raju did the first shot direction on the portraits of the Hindu Gods.

Ashwini Dutt said: “Our film banner – Vyjayanthi Movies – was launched by late NT Rama Rao in January 1975. Now, we are happy to be making a film on his grandson NTR. Generally, we don’t prefer to launch films in a big way. But, we thought it amply deserving to announce this venture Shakti. For the last 35 years, our banner did films with almost all the heroes in Tollywood. Coming to Shakti, we worked a lot on the script for the last six months. So, far we have not fixed any time frame or the budgetary aspect of the film.”

Mehar Ramesh said: “I debuted into Tollywood with NTR’s film Kanthri on Vyjayanthi Movies banner. I am thrilled to be doing the second venture in a very short span. I believe that but for Ashwini Dutt, making of a film like Shakti would not be possible for others. The shoot of the film would take place in Jaipur, Kashmir, Delhi, Agra, Hampi, Mysore, Egypt, London and other foreign locations. The first schedule would commence from February 6th. The film is going to a unique one in Telugu film industry.”

Highlight is that heroine Ileana is pairing up with NTR in this film, for the second time after Krishnavamsi’s film Rakhi.

Sameer Reddy handles the camera. Music is by Mani Sharma.
