The two successors from mega family – Allu Arjun and Ram Charan Tej do have certain equations when it comes to films, though they occasionally admitted that there is competition in home for them both. Well, the same gets evident when the track records of the two are given a peek. Bunny claimed a bumper hit with Puri Jagannadh via Desamuduru (2007), who then grandly introduced Charan with Chirutha the same year. The flick served him as perfect launch pad as the successor of megastar Chirajeevi.
Later, Arjun bagged a runaway hit with ‘Bommarillu’ Bhaskar in the form of Parugu (2008), which got him the Filmfare as Best Actor apart from Nandi Special Jury Award. This followed the release of Cherry’s Orange with ‘Bommarillu’ Bhaskar, which unfortunately failed to sink well with the viewers. The stylish star worked wonders with VV Vinayak as a warrior in Badrinath released recently, which stood among the Top-3 Telugu films of the decade as regards grossing huge opening collections. And now, the mega power star is in discussions with Vinayak with regard to their next project to be produced by DVV Danayya and to hit the floors in September. Hope, you got the business strategy that the two stars share, by now.

A R Rahman's Tension For Money
When it comes to money, even the biggest and richest people tend to get possessed and tensed. Something like that has reportedly happened with the Chennai Mozart A R Rahman. Our sources from Chennai reveal that Rahman went through few rounds of panic, thanks to few money issues.
The Chennai source revealed “All works of the film ‘Rana’ got delayed due to ill health of superstar Rajinikanth. As a result, Rahman’s payment instalment was not cleared by director K S Ravi Kumar. But Rahman forced Ravi Kumar to pay since he had commitments.”
He added “The tension was that whether the project will happen or not as Rahman did major part of the work and he had to pay his team and other technicians. Anyhow… since the project is taking off, the producer released the payment. Even he was also tensed but now all is okay, thanks to Rajini sir showing interest in doing the film.”

One Telugu film producer gets bail, another one denied
A local court today granted bail to Tollywood (Telugu film industry) producer Ch Kalyan in two cheating cases, however, dismissed the bail plea of another film producer Singanamala Ramesh Babu in a case of fraud. Kalyan and Ramesh Babu (presently under judicial custody in a jail here), who were last month arrested by the Andhra Pradesh Crime Investigation Department(CID) from Chennai, were facing charges of cheating, criminal breach of trust and criminal intimidation regarding DVD and VCD rights of Telugu film 'Komaram Puli', produced in the name of Kanaka Ratna Movies, owned by Singanamala Ramesh and partnered by Kalyan's Balaji Colour Labs in Jubilee Hills. The duo was also facing similar charges of "failing" to give the DVD and VCD rights of 'Kaleja' movie, despite taking amounts from the complainants, CID officials said. The XII Additional Chief Metropolitan Court, today granted bail to Ramesh and Kalyan in these two cases, CID Special Public Prosecutor Ajay Kumar told PTI. The court, however denied bail to Ramesh Babu in the case relating to a Rs 14.69-crore "fraud", committed by him, along with absconding Bhanu Kiran (who is the prime accused in the murder case of Maddelacheruvu Suryanarayana Reddy alias Suri). The court agreed to the contention of the defence, which said that both the (cheating) cases pertain to civil transactions and that Ramesh and Kalyan were unnecessarily linked to the cases. "There was no question of criminal intimidation and they were willing to pay remaining due amount," the defence counsel had earlier argued seeking their bail. However, the CID had opposed to their bail saying further investigation in the case was on and it was verifying certain documents relating to the case. If they are enlarged on bail they may threaten the witnesses and tamper with the evidence, the CID, which is investigating all the three cases, said. PTI VVK NP
