'Sirivennela' Wrote 300000 Songs And 3000 Recorded

Seetarama Sastry is now a household name in Andhra Pradesh. But like everyone else in the industry, success did not come to him overnight.

Seetarama Sastry had to struggle a lot during the initial days. He is also a perfectionist and does not compromise at all. He also has his habit of rewriting a lyric several times over, as many as 50 times on some occasions, until it tunes to the taste of director.

Seetarama Sastry said that he has so far written over 300000 Songs of which about 3000 have been recorded. That is in fact an astronomical number! Just imagine what a record it is to write 3, 00,000 songs. He said that he generally pen about 50 to 100 versions for each song and that's how the number reached to that extent.

Seetarama Sastry said that for him it is the lyrics that hold more interest than, melody. It is for this reason that he used to listen to Hindi gazals and melodies in his childhood. He enjoyed the meaning of every word used in the songs.

It may come as a big surprise to know that Seetarama Sastry did not listen to Telugu songs much during his childhood. He preferred to listen to only Hindi songs.

The Fate Of John Appa Rao 40 +

The fate of John Appa Rao 40 +, starring comedian KRISHNA BHAGWAN in the title role, and SIMRAN in the lead, is still uncertain. It is unlikely to release on March 6. After being postponed twice – first on January 30 and then February 14, filmmakers decided to release it as Shivratri bonanza. Sources say the delay could be because of hitch in post production work. However, with delay, the curiosity factor is dwindling within the industry and among the audience.

Telugu Film Idi Sangathi is disappointing

Greed is a universal phenomenon. And it's like quicksand which sucks the individual into its vortex. And its ensuing effects can be disastrous. This, in short is the story of the Telugu film Idi Sangathi. Well, the film revolves around money in human relationships and the extent of its impact on the lives of its protagonists Satyamurthy (Abbas) and Swarajyalakshmi

Satyamurthy is a crime reporter who is more occupied in making money than doing his job. His wife Swarajyalakshmi dreams of riches and all the goodies money can fetch. Satyamurthy and photographer Neeladri (Sunil) are asked to report about a train accident.

They rob the victims of their jewellery and run away with the boxes. As luck would have it, one of the boxes contains diamonds worth a king's fortune which they come to know of through their editor. These diamonds are supposed to be in the box of the Prime Minister (Kota). All hell breaks loose when he realises the box is missing. The police are then spurred into action.

In the midst of all this, Swarajyalakshmi gets the box opened and finds the bag of diamonds. Greed gets the better of her and she hides the bag and the information about it even from her husband. Thus the operation to reclaim the bag begins involving a big thief called Clover King (Raja), a retired judge and police officials (all intent on getting their slice of commissions).

The movie meanders to the climax which, though loaded with a simple message, seems to be an anti-climax -- and a rather tame one at that given the ordeal the characters go through. In short the director wanted to send the message across by testing the patience of the audience. The pace of the movie slows down quite a bit in between.

In a film which is talking about greed and its effects, the director has made Tabu and Abbas gyrate to a sensual number and Raja, Anita and Samiksha in an 'item' number. The 'light' vein element is provided by Sunil and Venu Madhav. All these ingredients -- the staple of most Telugu films -- irritate most of the audience.

For Tabu this role is a cakewalk as there is nothing very challenging about it. She looks pretty and glides through the film effortlessly looking quite sensuous in the song. Abbas is quite convincing in a different look -- a de-glamorised one. Raja's cameo is satisfactory.

Technically the film is just about average.

Chandra Siddhartha has chosen a topical theme but fails in his depiction of it as the treatment is quite bland. Quite a disappointment, considering the good cast.

Ghajini director arrested

In what could have been described as a filmi climax director A.R.Murgadoss was arrested, in full view of onlookers, in Chennai by the Salem Police. The arrest took place after producer Salem Chandrasekhar lodged a complaint with the police stating that director Murugadoss was remaking his hit Tamil film Ghajini without his knowledge and that no remake rights were issued by the former to director Murugadoss. Late last year Telugu film producer Allu Arvind launched the Hindi remake of Ghajini , with the same title, with critically acclaimed Hindi film actor Aamir Khan and actress Asin in the lead.

I Come Late, I Will Come With The Latest - John Appa Rao 40+

Kuchipudi Venkat On 'John Appa Rao 40 Plus

Innovative director Kuchipudi Venkat is now waiting to release his new product 'John Appa Rao 40 Plus'. This is the exclusive interview given by him to greatandhra.com this morning in order to clarify various doubts conglomerated in the heads of film lovers, critics and trade pundits.

Reason for delay:

Thanks for the interest you have been showing on my movie. I understand I have been keeping people waiting for the release. I put my heart and soul into it and I need to give it a proper finish.

I don't want be at the receiving end due to technical reasons after the release my movie and I will not release it until at least I am happy with the way it turned out. I miscalculated the time the post work would take and thus ended up giving a lot of dates. And adding to that I had to scrap the entire RR and do it all over again. I have just finished my RR in Mumbai.

Quality-No Compromise:

I never compromise on anything I want to do and also take a lot of chances on creative aspect, though that proved very costly, that's the way I am. I am sure I would match the expectations and audiences as well with John Appa Rao. I don't want to barb about the movie at this stage. This time around I want be a listener.

Following Rajani style:

Like Rajani Said though I come late, I will come with the latest. Don't worry. More over I not only want 40+'s to watch my movie I want the teens and 20+'s also to watch it, who are busy right now with their academics. My movie is technically ready by 4th to my satisfaction. I'm also looking out for right time to release the film. I don't want empty theaters waiting for me like what happened to the movies which released on all my previous proposed dates".

Gamyam Is A Must Watch Film

GAMYAM * * * It's A Director's Film * Fresh (No Copy) * Music, Lyrics And Dialogues Are Good *

RP Patnaik Agreed His Biggest Mistake

It is very common for artists and technicians to get carried by success. After the success of just a couple of films, they start taking themselves very seriously. Then they begin to think that they are unbeatable and they know everything.

This often makes them to take up assignments for which they are least suited. Just because they have some clout to dictate terms, they think that they are more qualified than others.

RP Patnaik began his career as a music director. He later acted in a film and also took up direction. But his success as a director has not been very encouraging.

RP Patnaik had also taken up playback singing and rendered the songs for Mahesh Babu's film 'Nijam'. The songs failed to click and they even affected the fate of the film at the box office. Patnaik is now speaking like a wizened man. He now says that it was wrong on his part to have sung all the songs for the film as his voice wouldn't suit for Mahesh Babu. It is good that he has realized his mistake at least now. Let us hope he will not repeat his mistake in future.
