Chiranjeevi As Ram Charan's "Father in Law"

 

The Bollywood ace director Farhan has signed up Ram Charan for his next film. With this he joins Daggubati Rana who is also set to enter the Hindi film industry. Farhan saw the actor’s latest Telugu blockbuster Magadheera and was left speechless. “He loved the film and Ram Charan’s performance. Farhan feels Ram Charan has all the qualities of an action hero. He got in touch with him and has now signed him with his production house Excel Entertainment. A script titled Haafiz was narrated to Ram Charan.”

 

The movie is expected to go 

 on the floors in April and the release is scheduled around December. “If all goes well, Chiranjeevi might play the girl’s father,” adds ours source, While the script is still being fine tuned, the plot is basically rich girlmeets-poor boy plot with a lot of action sequences. “Deepika Padukone and Kangna are the two options being considered opposite Ram Charan. The film will be made in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi,” says the source.
 

Krishna grandson’s debut by Vijayanirmala.

Though the Telugu film industry is in doldrums due to the Telangana crisis, this is not deterring new heroes to debut in the Telugu films. After announcement that Chiranjeevi's grandson would debut in a few months, here is another news. Super star Krishna's grandson Naveen is all set to debut as a hero shortly.

Naveen happens to be the son of actor Naresh who himself is the son of Vijayanirmala. Though Naresh is not the natural son of Krishna, he always used to treat him just like his own sons likeRamesh Babu and Mahesh Babu.

Story discussions are on and still more ground work is to be done as movie may go on sets in coming summer, say a source. This will be a high budgeted movie and will be dealing with sensitive love story. Remaining cast and crew are further to be made public.

After NTR, ANR and Rama Naidu, super star krishna is also joining the league of grand father’s to feel proud of their grand son’s debuts.

Sirish Bharadwaj as AP Censor Board member

Dynasty is a way of life in our country. Sirish Bharadwaj is now a member of the state's Censor Board. Don't ever come up with questions regarding his qualifications. His biggest asset is that he is the son-in-law of the Megastar.

Sirish, who married Chiru's daughter Srija two years back, will continue to be a member of the Board for a period of one year. The dude's appointment has been announced by some government officials themselves.

Mr. Bharadwaj said that he was happy with his appointment. It is said that his appointment was first mooted and finalised by big shots in the State government.

The youngster, who hogged the limelight when he dramatically eloped with Srija on a December 2008 afternoon, went into hibernation later. He is blessed with a baby.

BUT THE TRUTH IS.... 

The last few days has seen one topic being discussed among many circles in the film industry – ‘how did Sirish Bharadwaj get into the censor board panel?’. Enquiries have been going strongly over this development and now here is the story from one very reliable source.
It is heard that Sirish managed to get into the censor board through one of Venkatswamy’s son Vivek’s influence. It is known news that he is active in politics and has pulled few strings for Sirish due to their friendship. Sirish got link with Venkataswamy family through Vishnu, the son of PJR.
Sirish has been known for his friends in the political circles and that is one strong reason why he had the guts to elope with Srija, daughter of Chiranjeevi, say many who know about him. As many say it was Vivek who helped Sirish during his marriage also. It now remains to be seen whether Sirish will do proper justice to the new role or not.  

Varudu has South African Fighters...

Allu Arjun’s upcoming flick, Varudu is in last schedule of shooting and is taking place at Ramoji film city. The climax part of the film is yet to be picturised and it is planned in the Old City, Hyderabad.

Sources say that, the climax part has few action scenes and to shot these sequences the film-makers planned to get the fighters from South Africa who have a great expertise in Parkour(world renowned style of free style jumping and running). Parkour was earlier seen in like James Bonds Casino Royale films. The climax will have these fighters jumping from building to other building.


Cinematographer R.D. Rajasekhar (of Gharshana and Ghajini fame) is reportedly so impressed with the story that he agreed not to work for any other films till the completion of this flick. Another specialty of the film is that about 50 families are playing roles in this film along with their family members. Mani Sharma has scored music for lyrics penned by Veturi. Srikar Prasad edits the film, while Peter Haynes choreographs action sequences. Ashok is the man behind art.

From the misty pages of history comes a story of extreme valour, fierce pride and poignant love.

As the British enslave India with their devious Divide and Rule policy, kings and nawabs fall to their guile and cunning, and entrust their precious kingdom to the foreigners.

Veer Except for the brave Pindaris, who prefer death to dishonour and will fight to their last breath to save their land…their mother.

The bravest, the toughest, the strongest of the Pindaris is Veer. As Veer takes on the might of the British Empire, he also has to fight the conniving King of Madavgarh as well his own jealous tribesmen.

But then the stakes are high…

At stake is his love for princess Yashodhara, daughter of his sworn enemy…

At stake is his thirst to avenge his father’s dishonour…

At stake is his very existence itself….

Cannons roar, swords clash in fierce battle, the dead pile up… And when the dust settles down on the blood soaked land…one valiant warrior stands head and shoulders above them all – Veer!
Veer – an epic saga of bravery and drama, treachery and love…

Characters

Salman Khan: Veer

Impetuous in action, emotional in love, a tiger in battle… Veer encompasses all that is brave, heroic and true. When asked to make the toughest decision of his life – what will he choose his true love or his call of duty?


Mithun Chakroborty: Prithvi Singh

The proud head of the Pindaris, he has vowed to avenge the deception that cost his tribe their land and their reputation, forcing them to be on the run forever.

Jackie Shroff: Raja of Madhavgarh

He cheated the Pindaris to please the British but lost his arm. Thirsting for revenge he has sworn to hunt the Pindaris down, little realizing that his daughter is in love with the bravest of them all.

Sohail Khan: Punya

Loyal to the core, he is Veer’s shadow and like Laxman he will follow his elder brother Veer to the ends of the earth if need be. He loves to flirt, but he loves to fight even more.

Zarine Khan: Princess Yashodhara

Head over heels in love with Veer, she must now make

Story

A long drawn tale, the story is set on the backdrop of the British Raj and while all kings and small rulers are snared by the British and their kingdoms are taken, there is one clan who defy them. They are the tribal clan of Pindaris who believe in death before dishonour and among them is the fierce and brave warrior Veer (Salman). He stands against the British Empire and not only that, he has obstacles in the form of the Raja of Madhavgarh (Jackie), his own people, his love for princess Yashodhara (zarine) who is the daughter of his enemy. Whether Veer is successful in his battle or not forms the rest of the story.

Presentation

The director has come up with a flimsy storyline and though the presentation was good the narrative was weak. The script was spineless, the screenplay was horrendous, the dialogues were alright. The saving grace comes in the form of background score which is apt, two songs which are neat, amazing cinematography and excellent action sequences. Editing was required at many places, costumes were grand and art department was majestic. Salman Khan did his best to infuse life into the film but then his brand value alone could not suffice, Zarine Khan was straight faced but she is beautiful, Jackie Shroff was good, Mithun was okay, Sohail Khan was below average, Neena Gupta was regular, Puru Rajkumar doesn't get much chance, the other foreign actors were plastic.

Conclusion

The makers have come up with a mix of many Hollywood movies which are warrior based and mixed it with the desi elements to give the nativity feel. While the opening takes off brilliantly, the film starts collapsing as time passes. By interval, it is gone. The second half adds to the woes of the viewers with dragged sentiments and overdose of climax. Overall, the film scores on the technical aspects and production values but it fails miserably due to lack of a systematic story and poor writing. Given the budget, it is hard for the film to survive at the box office.

  Verdict: Weak and dragging, only efforts can be appreciated.
