Reel Talk: 2nd Big Blow For Tollywood

The cause for a bandh happens to be the politicians and whenever there is a fall in daily business and economy that is due to the politicians only. Bearing the brunt at all times would be the common man and his resources. One among them happens to be the Tollywood circuit.  
The ongoing Telangana agitation has given a big blow to the Telugu film circuit and reports are arriving that there are no proper collections. Also, even the publicity of the films has got affected due to no media coverage. All channels have been focusing solely on the political chaos than anything else.
The T-issue has been tearing the tissues of the Tollywood box office and for the consecutive second week, the collections have been hit badly. The looks of it suggest that it will be a while before all this would settle so the Tollywood fraternity has been under severe tensions as to what will happen to their big budget flicks.

Surya's brother's film to be dubbed in Telugu

Not many in our state are aware of the fact that Surya's brother Karthik is an actor in Kollywood.  His first film Paruthiveeran released in the year 2006 was a blockbuster.  He has grown in popularity and craze since.  Currently, he is shooting for a costly film, reportedly being made at Rs. 40 cr., which is directed by Sri Raghava (known as Selvaraghavan in Kollywood) of 7/G Brindavan Colony fame.

The film will release for the Pongal of 2010 in Tamil and Telugu.  Though the Tamil title has been decided (Aayarathil Oruvan), the Telugu title is yet to be finalised.  In fact, Raghavan has been working on the film since three years.  Hugely awaited by cinebuffs, the film has Reema Sen as the heroine.  Andrea Jeremiah is the other girl.

Produced by Ravindran, the film will be brought by G Kumar Babu of Amma Art Creations for release in Telugu.

For the Telugu audience, they are finally getting to see a Raghava film after 'Aduvari Matalaku Arthale Verule' with Venkatesh in the lead in 2006.  The talented maker has written the story and screenplay himself.

Let's see if Karthik becomes as popular as Surya in AP.
