Telugu Bullet – Mohanbabu Garu, why Did You Do This?
Mohanbabu Garu, why Did You Do This?
Posted [relativedate] at [relativetime time_format=”H:i”]
T Subbarami Reddy is a well-known politician, industrialist, and philanthropist. He also produced the movie ‘Bhagavad Gita’ in 1993 in Sanskrit, that won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film. He is more seen at film events and celebrity’s functions than in the Parliament. Every now and then he comes up with an awards program, awarding many film celebrities. Many have ridiculed him in the past for the same.
T Subbarami Reddy (TSR) awarded, ‘Viswa Nata Sarvabhouma’ title to Dr. Mohan Babu during an event, organized by TSR himself. No one really knows why TSR has given the award to Mohanbabu. While people claim that, TSR doesn’t need any reason or a strong cause to present awards. He just presents them whenever he wants to, and to whomever, he wishes too.
The absurd behavior of TSR and Mohanbabu has come under fire. Today, the 18th of January marks the 22nd death anniversary of legendary actor-cum-politician, and former CM Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, or simple NTR. The recent title presented to Mohanbabu resembles the title, ‘Viswa Vikyatha Nata Sarvabhouma’ held by NTR.
Telugu Bullet feels that Mohan Babu who proclaims himself as an ardent devotee and fan of NTR should have rejected the title. Even in practical terms, Mohanbabu doesn’t deserve this title on any given day. Presenting Awards and Titles might be a strategic move from TSR. But he should realize that Telugu people are not fools to fall prey for such cheap things.

Posted [relativedate] at [relativetime time_format=”H:i”]
Celebrating this Sankranti, Pawan Kalyan’s Agnyaathavaasi and Balakrishna’s Jai Simha released on 10th January and 12th January respectively. After Agnyaathavasi shocked everyone by turning out to be a disaster at the box office, everyone assumed that ‘Jai Simha’ would be a roaring success, cashing on the former film’s failure. Even Balakrishna’s ‘Jai Simha’ failed to roar at the box-office.
Given the family sentiment drama and typical Balakrishna dialogues, the film is trying to make some profits at the box-office. With no films until 26th of January, Agnyaathavaasi and Jai Simha can manage to rake up few more collections.
Despite such a disappointing failure, Jai Simha produced, C Kalyan is now being chased by the IT sleuths. The IT officials reportedly issued a legal notice, asking C Kalyan to file the expenditure for ‘Jai Simha’. After the producer failed to provide the respective details, the IT sleuths cracked-down C Kalyan’s office. They recovered few important documents, said sources.
It is yet-to-be-known the nature of the documents collected from the producer’s office. All the movies produced by C Kalyan so far failed to achieve commercial success.

Posted [relativedate] at [relativetime time_format=”H:i”]
After the stupendous success of Baahubali franchise, the Indian filmmakers believe that there is a great market for mythological and historical films. Baahubali kept the cash registers at the box-office ringing for over 20 – 25 days across the nation. Irrespective of the language and location, the movie emerged as the highest grosser in Indian film history.
Figuring out the budget and collections of the movie, the filmmakers are moving towards historical films. Interestingly, many subjects (scripts) are ready in the form of Hindu mythological and historical books. Taking inspiration from them, two movies are on the way.
The first movie is about Bhima, one of the five Pandavas. The film’s story will begin from the 17thParva of Mahabharata. VA Srikumar Menen is directing the film. The movie’s story is inspired by the novel ‘Randa Mooja’ written by Jnanpith Awardee Vasudev Nair, who will also work as a scriptwriter for the film. the movie is being bankrolled by BR Shetty. If everything goes according to plan, the movie is slated to release in 2020. The 1000-crore budget film will release in two parts, within a gap of 90 days.
The second movie, with an estimated budget of Rs. 300 crores, is based on the life of Karna. The movie is titled ‘Mahavir Karna’ and is being directed by RS Vimal. Tamil superstar Chiyaan Vikram will be playing the lead role of Karna in the movie. Though Vikram initially refused the offer, he acted after the director elaborated the script. The director promised thataudience will see a new facet of Karna, who is known for his extreme generousness.
It is great to see Indian filmmakers trying to reprise thehistorical character in a different perspective and facet, and bringing them closer to the current generation.

Posted [relativedate] at [relativetime time_format=”H:i”]
Ram Gopal Varma is a synonym for controversies and rumors, both in Tollywood and Bollywood film industry. The director has touched the pinnacle and saw the deepest lows in his career. His films, his posts, and even his comments create ripples in the film industries. Ram Gopal Varma himself stated that he usually takes inspiration from Hollywood movies for his films, and often change the screenplay and script, to suit our Indian audience.
The director went quiet after the launch of ‘Kadapa’ trailer. But he came back with a bang with his upcoming film (or web series) ‘God, Sex, and Truth’. Mia Malkova will be seen in the lead role. The movie’s trailer shocked everyone, given its content. Though RGV was criticized heavily, he was equally praised for film’s his bold and distinctive theme.
Shockingly, RGV once again under the line of fire. It is being heard that even ‘GST’ isn’t an original work.
An individual named P Jaya Kumar claimed that ‘God, Truth and Sex’ is a blind carbon copy of his work. He said, ‘I sent RGV my script for his review and comments. But after seeing GST trailer, I realized that it is a blind carbon copy of the script I sent to him. Everything uttered by Mia Malkova is lifted from my work’.
RGV is yet to react on P Jaya Kumar’s claim. Moreover, Jaya Kumar is not ready for any sort of off-the-court settlement. He is determined to pursue legal action against RGV.

RGV says Katthi Mahesh is not a porn star
Shocking everyone, heroine Poonam Kaur barged into the war between Katthi Mahesh and Pawan Kalyan fans a few days ago. Soon, Poonam Kaur emerged as another victim of Katthi Mahesh. The self-claimed critic ensured that Poonam has been tainted and dishonoured, by relating her to Pawan Kalyan. What seemed to be a fight between Katthi Mahesh, and PK fans, exposed the ulterior motives of Katthi Mahesh.
After that incident, Poonam Kaur has gone silent. Her recent tweets once again rocked the micro-blogging site.
She posted:
‘Porn stars have better life and respect in India… than Indian girls… innocents are framed… misused and abused and if they stand up for something… all are prepared to kill her soul … mind …and body…’
These comments came to light after Katthi Mahesh praised pornstar Mia Malkova and Ram Gopal Varma’s film ‘God, Sex and Truth’, in his tweet.
Replying to Poonam Kaur, Ram Gopal Varma once again showed his unique styling in trolling celebrities. He said, ‘I God promisingly feeling that…. It’s no way slipper shot to @Kathimahesh’. His tweet clearly shows how he can troll (Katthi Mahesh in this case) in a subtle manner.
