More news →Bharani' slated for Feb release
Vishal has become popular among the audiences with his films 'Pandemkodi and Pogarju'. His latest film 'Bharani' directed by Hari and produced by Vikram Krishna is busy in dubbing process. The Tamil original 'Tamara Bharani' was released during Sankranthi in Tamil Nadu and was proved number one. It is still running with houseful crowds. Producer of the film Vikram Krishna says, 'We are confident that the Telugu audiences too will make the film a big hit like Vishal's earlier films. There are five songs and the tunes provided by Yuvan Shankar Raja would enthrall all classes of audiences. The songs recording was done at Chennai, while the talkie dubbing is in progress at Super Good Dubbing Theatre. Vishal himself is dubbing his voice for the film. Vishal and Bhanu are pairing up in the lead roles, while Nazar, Prabhu, Vijayakumar, Nadia and Rohini are in the lead cast. We are planning to launch the audio during this month and release the film in the second week of February. It is a total mass entertainer and was made with high technical values. Vishal would appear in a different mass character. The way Hari directed the film is superb and the fight by Rakhi Rakesh would remain a highlight.' Shashank Vennelakanti scripted the dialogues, while Vennelakanti and Sahiti penned the lyrics. Story, screenplay and direction are by Hari.
'Bharani' to hit screen this month
Vishal, who earned a mass image with his films like 'Prema Chadarangam, Pandem Kodi and Pogaru' is pairing up with glamorous heroine Bhanu for 'Bharani' directed by Hari and produced by Vikram Krishna on the banner of GK Entertainments. It is the dubbed version of successful Tamil film 'Tamara Bharani'. It is the story of a young couple, whose love joined two warring families. The film has a complete action backdrop. However, the director had ensured that the action is within the limits and the violence was maintained only to suit the story. This family and action film would hit the screen somewhere in February. Yuvan Shankar Raja is providing tunes for this film.
'Bharani' gets final touches
When there is a talent, none could stop it. If we work hard to achieve what we wanted, it would definitely come to us. The live example for this principle is Vishaal. He worked hard and earned a good name as a hero in Tamil and Telugu film industries. He is giving successive hits in both the languages and earned a special image as a mass hero. His latest Tamil film 'Tamara Bharani' was released as Sankranthi gift in Tamil Nadu and was proved a big hit. The film is being dubbed into Telugu as 'Bharani'. The final work on the Telugu version is in brisk progress and the film is slated for release on March 30. Vikram Krishna produced the film while Hari had directed it. The film has tunes from Yuvan Shankar Raja, while Bhanu played the female lead. Already the audio of the film was released into the market and was proved a hit.
Bharani's docu film goes to Mumbai film fest
Tanikella Bharani is an actor, writer and stage personality. But not many know that he has recently made a documentary film titled Sira. It is the sole Telugu entry from among the 16 Indian entries at the International Documentary Film Festival being held at Mumbai. The panel is headed by the likes of Shyam Benegal, Jaya Bachchan and Govind Nihalani. The festival mainly focuses on short films, documentary films and animation films.
Bharani felicitated for 'Sira'
Sira, the short film made by writer, actor, Tanikella Bharani got very good reviews at the Mumbai International Film Festival and has been winning accolades ever since. So, local filmmakers decided to felicitate him for making such a wonderful and path-breaking contribution to Telugu cinema. They unanimously felt that Tanikella Bharani was a multi-faceted personality, who still had many latent talents that needed to come to the fore. They lauded him for making surreal cinema possible in Telugu and confessed to not understanding most of his film. However, his take on global terrorism was praised as many felt it was something that needed immediate attention. Among those present were CC Reddy, Janardhan Reddy, Nannapaneni Rajakumari and leading names from various fields. Speaking at the special do, Muralikrishna said Tanikella Bharani was indeed like a bharani or a box which is full of talents. He said after making Telugu people proud with his short films, Bharani should now try making full-length features. He was looking forward to Bharani's book Nakshatram, he added. Jhansi, who got to be a part of 'Sira' too confessed to not understanding the film while she acted in it. She however added that it was director Bharani who should be given full credit for the film's success. Jhansi pointed out that every time one watched Sira, a new meaning emerged redefining earlier held beliefs. She said it was a brilliant move by Bharani to release a DVD of Sira in order to reach out to people. Among those who could not stop praising Bharani was another parallel filmmaker KNT Sastry. Sastry had directed Bharani in two of his films, Tiladanam and Kamli. He said that after watching Sira two years back at the Hyderabad Film Festival, he felt that he himself and B Narsing Rao were far away from the expertise of Bharani. He pointed out that he particularly liked the shot where Bharani used a picture of the master of surrealism, Salvador Dali. He also eulogized Bharani for the scene where he interprets the true definition of Brahmana. Sastry hoped that Bharani would soon start making 90-minute features soon. Yet another director Neelakanta said it was a beautiful experience working with Bharani. He said Bharani's short films have inspired him to take up short film making. Sira is a celebration of Telugu cinema, he added. Shekhar Kammula, director of films such as 'Godavari' and 'Happy Days' said 'Sira' was a surrealistic gem. He said how he failed to understand surrealism as a student in the US and was nearly shocked to know that such films could be made in India, that too by a Telugu filmmaker. He added that Bharani was a great visualiser, which helped him in making Sira as it is. Kammula compared him to Srinatha kavi and said Sira was the process of a writer becoming a filmmaker. He suggested it would be wonderful if Bharani added some voice-overs at certain points, for people to understand to Sira. Lastly but surely not the least, it was the turn of the director himself to speak about his film. Tanikella Bharani started off by pointing out that complaints about not understanding his film were unjustified as the whole effort of Sira was to make the film and leave it for audience interpretation. He said we live in a world of constant fear being constantly dragged into a quagmire of human greed and selfishness. He quoted the war in Iraq and Afghanistan and the Second World War to profess the futility of war. His protagonist was a poet who had a series of thoughts all of which were interlinked, he added. And this could be explained best in surrealistic terms as we live in a make-belief world, full of hypocrisy, he clarified. Bharani pointed out that we enjoy a lot of things, without knowing what they actually meant. Similarly, he said, his film was not bound by one interpretation. The idea was to instigate people into deriving their own interpretation from the content that he had provided, he said. If he could do this, he added, he would feel successful.
Would have gone to Jail -Tanikella Bharani
"I've spent my whole childhood at Sankampet Railway Station in West Godavari district. Used to be a good friend of those who are involved in kidnapping, murders and other crimes. Had I continued that, would have gone to Khammam central jail for sure", says writer Tanikella Bharani, bursting into huge laughs. Taking part in a program named "Nela Nela Vennela" in Khammam, Tanikella shared these opinions. At the same program Tanikella took a dig at Padmasri awards, quipping that eligible Telugu actors haven't received any such awards. "The likes of Savitri, Suryakantam and SV Ranga Rao haven't received Padma awards. That's the reason I won't accept the award even if I'm given", he said. The actor of more than 700 films, it's really tough to hear him say this. But true.
