Sandeep Kishan on cloud9

Young hero Sandeep Kishan is quite excited these days. All his smiles have a reason as his latest movie 'Tiger' is doing well at box office. First of all we need to appreciate this talented hero because he has accepted a script that allows him into the story 30 minutes after the movie starts. These are the days where a debuting hero is also looking for an introduction song, but Sandeep has honestly stayed with his script rather going for extra elements in the name of mass film. Probably that honesty is paying off.

Wonderful efforts turn into fruits at box office, but the real happiness is felt when industry's best persons compliment us. Same thing is happening with Sandeep at the moment. He's getting calls from Tollywood's prominent celebs who are heaping praises on him for his massy performance. Especially two phone calls have excited this youngster and we know that one came from Stylish Star Allu Arjun.

Sandeep has got a call from mass raja Raviteja, as usual after two years, with the last call being done when this young chap scored a hit with Venkatadri Express. As usual, 'Tiger' got thrilled upon 'Bengal Tiger' calling him and appreciating. When the script is good, director is brilliant and actors do whatever required with out getting off limits, result will be like this. 

After Mahesh it's Ravi Teja

Recently, Mass Maharaj Ravi Teja became the brand ambassador for the Kerala based popular footwear brand, Lunar. Now, the Mass Maharaj has only gotten more massy as he has been roped in as a brand ambassador for Lord & Master brandy. An ad film featuring Ravi Teja as a powerful policeman was shot recently in Hyderabad and it will be telecast on TVs very soon.

As per the law, no brands should publicly endorse alcoholic beverages through TV ads and other formats. That is why most liquor brands rope in stars to promote their soda, mineral water or even music CDs. Best examples are Mahesh Babu and Shah Rukh Khan endorsing Seagram's Royal Stag.

Apparently, the Lord & Master is planning big to spread their wings across the interiors of Telugu states and choose Ravi Teja to exploit his mass image to the brand's advantage. Incidentally, Ravi Teja becomes the second Tollywood celebrity to endorse a liquor brand after Mahesh Babu. So, get ready to get more kick from Ravi Teja in the coming days. 

Ravi Teja's "Kick 2" created a storm in midnight

The teaser of Mass Maharaja’s ‘Kick 2′ created a storm at midnight. A small teaser was released by movie unit to commemorate Ravi Teja’s birthday and it happened at midnight, bringing happiness to many hardcore Ravi Teja fans.

The movie is going to release this summer and the buzz created at midnight shows how strong craze for this project is. ‘Kick 2′ is a Surender Reddy film and it will take off with a line borrowed from ‘Kick’, which was also directed by Surender Reddy.

NTR Arts banner is producing ‘Kick’. The hottest new sensation Rakul Preet Singh is the heroine opposite Ravi Teja. Thaman is the music director.

Ravi Teja' Power is in safe zone

After miserable flops, distributors were hoping that Ravi Teja's crowd-pulling capacity would erase all their worries but the cop story Power just managed to rake in Rs 4.5 Crore on first day whereas his earlier hit "Balupu" collected more than Rs 5.5 crores on day One, since many multiplexes didn't hang houseful boards but was better in single screen theatres. "It was sold for a big price, so there are chances for picking up," shares a distributor. With supportive reviews and Brahmi's comedy working, it could be on a safe zone, adds source.

Geetanajli could have done better after garnering 10 crores, but it has been ejected out of theatres for "Rabhasa" and now "Power, but producer Kona Venkat, is a happy man.

The surprise hit of the season, is none other horror comedy Boochamma.. and it has touched Rs 2.4 crore in first week and around 80 lakh in Nizam and rocking in Vizag, Viyawada and Nellore too. In recent times, it is the only small film, for which theatres got increased from 2nd and 3rd day.

Sumanth Ashwin proves to a bankable star after moderate success of Lover, which made 2.75 crore and managed to break-even, but comedian Sapthagiri deserves some credit in it. 

BO: Slow start for POWER

Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja's Power had a grand release worldwide today. The movie which released in the highest number of theaters in Ravi Teja's career had a very slow story at the box office. The morning shows of the film were not house full at many places. The trend is likely to continue for the matinee shows too but the collections should get better in the evening shows. 

Trade Experts say the makers have feared about Mahesh Babu's Aagadu coming up next week and had therefore released the film in more theaters than Ravi Teja's capacity. As a result many theaters did not record houseful collections. However this move may help the movie over the weekend since the audience are a big movie starved for a long time. And with the 'Good' talk coming up the numbers over the weekend can be very rosy. Hansika is the female lead in the movie. YVS Chowdary, the room mate of Ravi Teja before coming in to movies, was supposed to produce the film on his Bommarillu vari banner, but he backed out of the deal due to the finance problems. Famous Kannada producer, Rockline Venkatesh is producing it. Thaman has composed tunes for the movie, his seventh time for Ravi Teja.
