Krishna Vamsi gave a big hit with ‘Chandamama‘. Mohan Babu signed him up to make a film with his son Manchu Vishnu as hero paired with Neha Sharma, heroine of Ram Charan‘s ‘Chirutha‘ was also mentioned prominently in the regard.

But the latest hot news that is doing rounds in Tollywood is that the project is now likely to be dropped. The reason is that Mohan Babu and creative director Krishna Vamsi have some differences over the script. Adding to that there seems to be a big confusion about the story. Even some unit members have reportedly expressed their fear that the story is not up to the mark and the film may flop. Hence Mohan Babu is said to have decided to drop the project altogether.

Starring: Nagarjuna, Vishnu, Mamatha Mohandas, Mohan Babu, Nazar and others.
Direction: P Vasu
Music: Keeravni
Release date: 01/02/2008

Director P Vasu’s new film Krishnarjuna is a simple and straight film that tries to throw light on the meaning of life. Fortunately, Vasu dos not resort to strange miracles and unnecessary gimmicks to explain the existence of God.

The film opens with Arjun (Visnu) lying on a bed in the ICCU of a hospital and he is battling for life. The film then goes to the flash back. Arjun is born in the sanctum sanctorum of lord Krishna temple. His mother is a mentally unstable woman, who is pregnant and she runs away from a mental asylum and gives birth to the child at the temple and dies shortly afterwards. His grandmother Manorama brings up Arjun by working as a servant at Nazar’s house. Arjun is a hardworking and innocent guy.

Sathya (Mamatha Mohandas) is the younger sister of Nazar and she is an arrogant and spoilt girl. Arjun also works at Nazar’s house as a domestic help. He drops Sarthya at college every day and also takes good care of Nazar’s children.

Enter a rich diamond merchant Tanikella Bharani and his son. He falls for Sathya and she also takes a liking for him, as he is fabulously rich. But there is a catch.
A well-known astrologer says that whoever marries Sathya will die within a short span of time.

Nazar hatches a plan and gets Arjun to the tie the knot to Sathya. His plan is that as soon as Arjun is dead, Sathya can marry the son of the rich diamond merchant and live happily.

But Arjun’s life takes a turn after his marriage with Sathya. His grandmother dies after coming to know about Nazar’s evil plan. Arjun also tries to commit suicide but lord Krishna in the form of Nagarjuna appears before Arjun to not only to save him but also instill in him a confidence and will power to face the obstacles in life.

Arjun is now a changed man and he now takes on the evil Nazar and the diamond merchant head on. How he accomplishes is suspense and should be watched on the screen

Performance:
Vishnu as the innocent Arjun comes up with a credible performance. His body language and mannerism suits the role to a ‘T’.
Nagarjuna as a modern god is definitely a big plus for the film. He appears only just before the interval but his entry adds momentum to the film.

Mamatha Mohandas as the rich spoilt and arrogant brat plays her role to perfection. She also gives an ample display of her beauty and assets.

Nazar, Bharani and others go about their roles in a professional manner.

MohanBabu appears as a fakir in the getup of Shiridi Sai Baba. The audience cheer wildly with appreciation when he appears on screen.

The music is okay and the song ‘“Yama Yama Ranjuga Vundi ro Petta” is a fast foot tapping number and Mamatha Mohandas and Vishnu dance well in it.

The comedy as average and Brahmanandam as an aged astrologer with a young and beautiful wife comes up with his by now trademark performance. Sunil, Venu Madhav, MS Narayana and others try to liven up the proceedings with their comedy.

The director must be commended for not going overboard and resisting the temptation to show many gimmicks and miracles in the name of God. Nagarjuna’s role is brief yet powerful. Vasu uses him to the desired effect in a polished and neat way.

The film starts slowly bit picks up pace after the interval. Comparisons with ‘Dhee’ are inevitable but would be totally unfair.

The film however is sure to bring Vishnu a good name for his neat and convincing performance.

Public Talk : Not bad. Watchable only for Nag&Vishnu. Overall, it is good movie with some funny scenes.

Akkineni Nagarjuna, who plays modern God in Vishnu’s ready for release film Krishnarjuna, is excited about his offbeat role, which he says, will have beauty only when donned by an artiste with image. Nag’s role is one which comes into existence all of a sudden from thin air as and when the hero wants God to see. Vishnu plays the role of a disappointed youth, who gets guidance from none other than God himself. “Krishnarjuna is one movie which gives me utmost satisfaction that I have really ventured into a different role. In this film, I call Vishnu as Mitrama (friend), and he addresses me as Bangaram. In fact, I okayed the project within ten minutes of hearing the subject,” says Nagarjuna. The movie is releasing all over the world with 275 prints on February 1 st.

Nagarjuna and Vishnu starring Krishnarjuna release date is announced -The film is releasing on 31st January. Mamatha Mohandass is playing the female lead opposite Vishnu. MM Keervaani is composing the music.

Chandramukhi P Vasu is directing the film. Mohanbabu is playing very special role and producing on Lakshimi Prasanna pictures banner.

urprisingly the year 2007 saw a decline in the number of releases in Telugu when compared to the previous years. There were only 84 straight releases till December 20. Add to this about 60 dubbed films released during the year, the list looks an impressive 140 plus. As actor Mahesh Babu said that ‘the future of the Telugu film industry is now in the hands of the young generation,’ the year clearly belonged to the young directors and stars. But most debut directors failed to hit the bulls eye is another story.

The pleasant news is that though the releases dwindled, the hits were more than the previous year. 2007 opened with a thumping victory, the super duper hit, Desamudhuru directed by Puri Jagannath with Allu Arjun and Hansika Motwani in the lead. Close on the heels came the Venkatesh-starrer, Adavari Matalaku Ardhale Verule directed by Selva Raghavan (Sri Raghava), a huge hit. The three other big hits are Sekhar Kammula’s Happy Days, Lakshyam starring Jagapathi Babu and Gopichand, Rajamouli’s Yamadonga with NTR Jr. in the lead. The hit films are Tulasi, Okkadunnadu, Evadaithe Nakenti, Operation Duryodhana, Yamagola, Athili Sathibabu, Aadivaram Adavallaku Selavu, Chandamama, Madhumaasam, and the recently released Mantra while Dubai Seenu and Dhee termed as above average. Mahesh Babu starrer Athith’ and Ram Charan Tej’s debut film Chirutha opened to fantastic collections. Nagarjuna starrer, Don directed by Lawrence has hit the theatres on December 20 in Nizam and a day later in other areas in the state. Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna drew a blank as both Shankardada Zindabad and Maharadhi proved damp squibs at the turnstile. Chiranjeevi received the prestigious Padma Bhushan and his voluntary organisation the Blood Bank won the State award for the fifth consecutive year.

Among the dubbed films, Rajnikath’s Sivaji created such an unparalleled hysteria among the cine goers and made record initial collections for any dubbed film in the past 75 years. The craze soon evaporated and none of the sixty plus dubbed films succeeded.

Technologically speaking, Telugu cinema made long strides and again to quote Mahesh Babu, “Telugu cinema today is ahead of other language industries in the South on technical aspects and content.” His Athidhi brought Hindi actor Amrita Rao to the South. “It is indeed the year of the young filmmakers. The redeeming feature is that each one of them brought a different theme and narrative style. When compared to last year, the content and treatment is more novel this year,” opines popular film critic Rentala Jayadeva.

Though 2007 is termed as the year of young talents, the worrying aspect is that most debutants and even some established young directors failed to click. The much-expected Yogi directed by the much successful V.V. Vinayak is an example. And the survival of any language film industry and thousands of its employees depend mostly on the success of low budget films. Chiding the way some of these young directors are treading with cinema, veteran Dasari Narayana Rao who always championed the cause of low budget films said, “The present generation should prove to the world that the Telugu filmmaker first makes the script ready and then goes to the floors. If any one of the young comes with a good script, I am prepared to produce for them.” One aspect the present generation the actors or the directors are forgetting is the importance of the producer. Most of them are treating the producer as a mere cash bag carrier. To quote Dasari, “There must be a bonding between the producer and director. It pains to hear that the producer has become just a cashier today. Instead of committing to pamphlet journalism, the media print as well as television should also come up with proper analysis and criticism for the growth of the industry. When they write or say that every film is a super hit then why the film industry is in dole drums? Some crib about other language directors entering into the Telugu industry. Instead we should think why they are getting the opportunities here and improve ourselves. Again some crib about spiraling costs of production. When actors who are not worth a million rupees for their job are being paid in crores, who should be blamed? A director can create any number of actors.” A basic mantra buried under star domination.

Sekhar Kammula and Krishnavamsy proved with Happy Days and Chandamama respectively,that with rank newcomers and not so established stars, movie wonders can be created. Both the films are big hits and Happy Days made under a four cr. budget and is expected to gross over Rs. 20 cr.

Whatever said and done, Cinema is still a staple diet for many in A P. The industry offers some exciting fare for them in the new year with Balakrishna’s Okka Magaadu directed by the much successful Y.V.S. Chowdhary and also Simran’s comeback film, Dil Raju’s Premikudu with Allu Arjun, Babu Rao’s Ontari with Gopichand-Bhavana and Nagarjuna, Chiranjeevi and Venkatesh’s next ventures to roll in January.

The Krishnarjuna combination – Nag and Vishnu – are going to enthrall the viewers of MAA TV on January 14th (Sankranti Day). But, the event is that: Vishnu will interview Nag. The subject is Don. Vishnu will receive the questions from the viewers and put the same to Nag. This exercise is expected to boost the collections of Don, besides cashing on the festive mood, luring the crowds to the theatres. Interestingly, Nag took part in the promo of Krishnarjuna shot recently. Is this done in reciprocation!
