More news →Raju Sundaram turns to direction
Several choreographers are turning towards direction and achieving successes as well. Lawrence who made his debut with Mass earned a good name as director and then he proved himself not only as director but also as an artiste with 'Style'. Now his latest flick 'Muni' in his direction is ready for release. Again he is getting ready to direct Nagarjuna for 'Don'. Likewise, Prabhudeva, who is well-known among the audiences as India Michael Jackson, turned a director and his debut film 'Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana' was a sensational hit. His next film 'Pournami' also won laurels and he earned the name as a poetic director with that film. Again 'Pokkiri' in Tamil under his direction was also a massive hit. Presently, he is getting ready to direct Mega Star Chiranjeevi for 'Shankar Dada Zindabad'. Amma Rajasekhar turned a big director with 'Ranam', while Suchitra Chandrabose proved a good director with 'Pallakilo Pellikuturu'. Now, noted choreographer Raju Sundaram is going to turn a director. He prepared a good story and narrated it to two heroes. Of them, one top hero had evinced interest in the subject and gave his nod to do the film from next May. Now, it is reliably learnt Raju Sundaram had started exercises on developing the subject.
'Raju Bhai' shooting in progress at Sarathi
The shooting of 'Raju Bhai' directed by Suryakiron and produced by Dr M Mohanbabu on the banner of Sri Lakshmi Prasanna Pictures, with Manoj, of 'Donga-Dongadi'-fame and son of Mohanbabu as hero, and Sheela of 'Sitakokachiluka'-fame as heroine, is progressing well at Sarathi Studios in Hyderabad on a fast pace. Presently some key scenes are being shot there. It is well aware that a song was choreographed on noted comedian Sunil for this film. The producer is making efforts to complete all the formalities soon and release the film as a summer gift.
'Raju Bhai' in post-production works
Dr M Mohanbabu had portrayed different characters in over 500 films and earned the name of a versatile artiste. At the same time, he had produced over 46 films on the banner of 'Sri Lakshmi Prasanna Pictures'. He is now busy producing his Production No. 47 in which his second son Manchu Manojkumar, who played hero in films like 'Donga Dongadi' and 'Sri', is playing the title role. Sheela is playing the female lead while the film is being directed by Surya Kiron who had earlier directed Satyam of Sumanth. The film, which is the remake of a Tamil movie, had started its post-production works recently and dubbing work is in progress at Prasad Labs in Hyderabad. The producer is planning to bring out the film as a summer gift. It is reliably learnt that 'Raju Bhai' is the title under consideration.
'Raju Bhai' to be released on Dasari's birthday
The shooting of 'Raju Bhai' directed by Suryakiron, presented by Smt Nirmala, and produced by Padma Shree Dr M Mohanbabu on the banner of Sri Lakshmi Prasanna Pictures with Manchu Manojkumar and Sheela in the lead was successfully completed recently. The audio is most likely to be launched during this week. Yuvan Shankar Raja gave melodious tunes for the flick. It is the remake of a successful Tamil film 'Chittam Pesaradu'. However, there will be some changes to the basic story of the original and 30 per cent of the film was changed to suit the nativity. Though Manoj made his debut into films sometime ago, he did not get the adequate break in films. However, Manoj performed in this film as if it is his debut venture. The heroine too had a good scope to perform and will not remain as a glamour doll who shakes legs with the hero in a couple of songs. Ganesh Acharya, a famous choreographer from Bollywood is working for the movie. The speciality is that each song would run with a special concept. First an introductory song, second ' when the hero falls in love' in this pattern. There is a special song choreographed on Sunil. Producer Mohanbabu says, 'Presently the film is busy in re-recording and dubbing. After completing all the post-production formalities, we are planning to release the film on the birthday of my mentor Dasari Narayana Rao on May 4.'
'Raju Bhai' readies for release on May 11
Shooting of 'Raju Bhai' directed by Surya Kiron and produced Padma Sri Dr M Mohanbabu on the banner of Sri Lakshmi Prasanna Pictures with his second son Manojkumar as hero and Sheela as heroine is nearing completion. This is the 47th film on the banner. Producer Mohanbabu says, 'We are remaking a successful Tamil film 'Chittam Pesaradu' as 'Raju Bhai'. However, we made some 30 per cent changes to the original to suit the nativity. Manoj personally did some risky shots on his own, without depending on dupes. Though everyone claims that their film would be a definite hit, they would have some doubt over the success of the film in their minds. But I am very confident that the film would be a definite super hit, because there is a very good story. There are no second thoughts about its failure. We are planning to release the film on May 11 after completing all the formalities.'
Raju Sundaram to direct Raviteja
Raju Sundaram and Prabhudeva entered into the film industry as choreographers to continue the legacy of their father and famous choreographer Sundaram. Prabhudeva turned a director and his debut flick 'Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana' was a blockbuster. Presently he is directing Mega Star Chiranjeevi's film 'Shankar Dada Zindabad'. Now it is the turn of Raju Sundaram. He is all set to test his hand in direction. It is reliably learnt that Raviteja would play hero in Raju Sundaram's debut direction, to be produced by Aditya Babu on the banner of Aditya Arts, which had recently produced 'Jagadam'. Raju Sundaram prepared a good subject that suits Raviteja's body language and got it okayed as well. The regular shooting of the film would begin in June. It may be recalled here that several choreographers including Lawrence, Prabhudeva and Amma Rajasekhar ventured into direction and gave big hits. Let us hope Raju Sundaram would also be a successful director. The film is said to be full of action and entertainment. Presently, Raviteja is busy in his 'Dubai Seenu' shooting. Raju Sundaram plans to start his film after completion of 'Dubai Seenu'.
