Ram Charan's Film With Director Shankar Could Be Delayed

Hyderabad, May 18, 2021: In February this, actor Ram Charan had announced his collaboration with director Shankar Shanmugam, commonly known as Shankar. The movie is supposed to go on floors next month in June, but things have changed now due to the second wave of covid-19 and the legal tussle between the director and Lyca Productions. ## Besides Ram Charan's film, Shankar also has Kamal Haasan starrer "Indian 2" which is just 50% completed. Lyca Productions, which is producing Haasan's film, approached Madras High Court alleging that Shankar has taken up films in other languages, indicating Ram Charan's and Ranveer Singh's films, instead of completing Indian 2 as per schedule. ## Besides the legal suit, Lyca is also planning to approach the Telugu Film Producers Council and the film bodies in Bollywood to ensure that Shankar can't begin any other new film before wrapping up Indian 2. However, Shankar also submitted a counter-affidavit stating his reasons for the delay in making Indian 2. The Court has posted the proceedings to 4 June.## Meanwhile, Shankar had also announced the Hindi remake of his own directorial 2005 Tamil psychological action thriller, "Anniyan", with Ranveer Singh. With the Hindi remake of Anniyan, the director also found himself on the controversial side after Anniyan producer V Ravichandran claimed the copyright issues. ## Meanwhile, the court order on "Indian 2" will make way for RC15. If it gives the decision in Lyca's favor, then Shankar has to complete Indian 2 first and then move on to Ram Charan's film, which looks anyway set to be delayed due to the pandemic. ## Stay tuned...

RRR Movie Demands Respect From Its Technicians: Jr. NTR

Hyderabad, May 12, 2021: Baahubali director, S.S. Rajamouli's next, RRR, is the hottest anticipated film of the year. Rajamouli, who is known for bringing perfection to his work, is working on RRR since 2018, though there have been hurdles due to the covid-19 pandemic. ## While a little bit of shoot is still left, the movie, which stars two of the biggest names in Telugu cinema, N. T. Rama Rao Jr. and Ram Charan, is very much on track for October 13, 2021, release as scheduled amid the rumours of it getting postponed to the next year. ## In an interview with Deadline, Jr. NTR talks about the film and said that it could turn out to be the savior for the Indian cinema, which is gasping due to the pandemic. While talking about the film, NTR also talked about Rajamouli, who, as NTR referred, is a perfectionist and everything he makes must be nothing less than perfect. ## NTR also said that RRR, which revolves around two legendary Indian revolutionaries and their journey to fight for their country, is one such film that demanded respect from technicians for its scale and time being invested in it. ## "It has been a long journey, when you're dealing with Rajamouli that's how it's going to be. This man shot Baahubali for five years, across two parts. On RRR, we were stuck with the pandemic for about eight months, technically we shot for about nineteen months. This film demanded that kind of respect from its technicians. The action sequences are going to leave people flabbergasted. It needed that time to become a film as big as it was expected to be", the actor said to Deadline. ## When asked if the makers of RRR ever consider releasing the movie directly onto an OTT platform, NTR said that it is one of the films that need to be enjoyed as a community on a large screen, not on OTT platforms. He gave examples of Baahubali, Jurassic Park, and Avengers, which were made for the big screen experience. ## Meanwhile, apart from RRR, Jr. NTR will reunite with director Koratala Siva for NTR30, after the blockbuster Janatha Garage. The movie is scheduled to release on 29 April 2022. He also revealed that he will join K.G.F. director Prashanth Neel for NTR31. The shoot for NTR 31 will begin once Neel finishes "Salaar" with the biggest star of India, Prabhas.## Stay tuned

Allu Arjun Doesn't Praise Unless He Really Likes Something: Allu Sirish

Hyderabad, April 23, 2021: Telugu actor Allu Sirish, who is the younger brother of superstar Allu Arjun, recently made his Hindi debut with a music video called, Vilayati Sharaab. Sung by Darshan Raval, and Neeti Mohan, the song has crossed 100 million views on Youtube and it is one of the biggest blockbuster songs of 2021. It featured Allu Sirish along with TV actress Heli Daruwala. ## Apart from his successful Hindi debut, Allu Sirish cherishes the moment when his elder brother, Allu Arjun praised and congratulated him for his first 100 million views song. Sirish cherishes his brother's compliment all the more because AA is known to be a man of few words. ## "His encouragement means the most to me because he is a man of few words. He is not too verbal about appreciation. His praises don't come a lot. So, even the smallest thing like an Instagram story coming from him is a big deal for me because I know for a fact that unless he really likes something, he doesn't praise it on social media", Sirish told IANS.## He added that for his movies Arjun never tweeted or said something about the first look or trailer unless he is very impressed. So it was nothing sort of a big compliment for him when the superstar praised him. ## Sirish also recalled when AA saw the "Vilayati Sharaab" video for the first time. "He was happy. He said that it's good that I am trying new things and that not many people would want to venture out through a music video. He appreciated the move of doing something. He also liked the video. ## ICYDK, a few days back, Ally Arjun had tweeted, "BIG Congratulations to @allusirish on hitting 100M Super Proud! & Congratulations to @darshanravaldz @neetimohan18 @heli_daruwala the entire team of #vilayatisharaab". ## BIGCongratulations to @allusirish onhitting your 1st 100M Super Proud ! & Congratulations to @darshanravaldz @neethimohan18 and the entire team of #VilayatiSharaab pic.twitter.com/Am9U2HpG0F— Allu Arjun (@alluarjun) April 16, 2021 ## Stay tuned...
