SandalwoodThe team will go ahead with the second schedule after Ugadi and it is break time until then.Digital NativeDigital NativeDarshan’s 51st film, Yajamana is progressing at a brisk pace. The shooting for this film began on February 18 amidst much fanfare and was wrapped up on March 10. Important scenes were shot at the Shashidhar Adapa in Mysuru during the first schedule and the team including hero Darshan and director Pon Kumar are happy with the outcome. According to reports doing rounds in the Kannada film industry, Yajamana team will go ahead with the second schedule after Ugadi and it is break time until then. While Darshan plays the lead role in the film, it has Rashmika Mandanna playing the female lead along with Tanya Hope as the second heroine. Dhananjay, Thakur Anoop Singh and Devaraj will be seen playing significant roles in this flick. Bankrolled by Shylaja Nag and B Suresha, the former confirmed that the team finalized the title Yajamana after considering two other titles. She also made it clear that Darshan’s Yajamana has nothing to do with the Vishnuvardhan starrer Yajamana that was released 18 years ago. Yajamana is the title of the blockbuster hit movie that had the icon of Sandalwood, Dr Vishnuvardhan in the lead role. Vishnuvardhan’s Yajamana was the remake of the Tamil movie Vanathai Pola, which was directed by Vikraman and produced by V Ravichandran under his banner Aascar Films. On the characters in the film, the producer reportedly told that though it has two heroines – Rashmika Mandanna and Tanya Hope – it is not a triangular love story as speculated. Thakur Anoop Singh plays the baddie in Yajamana while Devaraj will be seen as Rashmika’s father. V Hari Krishna will not only be composing the tunes for the film but is also credited as its creative head for penning the story along with director Pon Kumaran. While Yajamana is under progress, Darshan is awaiting the release of his magnum opus Kurukshetra in which he plays Duryodhana and the story is told from his perspective. The film stars Darshan in the lead role with the star cast also including Ambareesh, V Ravichandran, Arjun Sarja, Bharathi Vishnuvardhan, Sneha, Meghana Raj, P Ravi Shankar, Sonu Sood and Nikhil Gowda.

TollywoodMahesh Babu’s ‘Bharath Ane Nenu’ and Allu Arjun’s ‘Naa Peru Surya’ are both scheduled to release on April 27.Digital NativeDigital NativeOne big question that is doing the rounds in Tollywood is: can the Mahesh Babu vs Allu Arjun movie release clash be averted? With both the biggies aiming to release their respective films on April 27, it looks like the clash cannot be averted, at least for now. Reports say that too many films are in the pipeline for release during the summer season this year, following which the filmmakers have no other option but to stick to their earlier plans, no matter what. While Ram Charan Teja’s Rangasthalam will be out during the fag end of March, Gopichand’s Pantham and Bellamkonda Srinivas’ Saakshyam are slated for a mid-May release. This means that both Allu Arjun’s Naa Peru Surya and Mahesh Babu’s Bharath Ane Nenu will have to stick to their current release date – April 27. It may be mentioned here that earlier the filmmakers were waiting to announce the release date of their films as they did not want a clash with the Rajinikanth starrer 2.0 directed by Shankar. However, with this magnum opus moving out of the summer release race, Tollywood filmmakers are gearing up to release their movies to cash in on the summer rush. Naa Peru Surya, starring Allu Arjun and Anu Emmauel as the lead pair, also has Arjun Sarja, Sarathkumar and Thakur Anoop Singh in crucial roles. The film will mark the directorial debut of ace writer Vakkantham Vamsi. This film is produced by Sirisha Lagadapati, Sridhar Lagadapati, Bunny Vasu and K Nagendra Babu under the banner of Ramalakshmi Cine Creations. The music has been composed by the Bollywood duo Vishal - Shekhar with Rajeev Ravi cranking the camera and Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao editing it. Mahesh Babu’s Bharath Ane Nenu, directed by Koratala Siva, is touted to be a political thriller. The actor plays the Chief Minister for the first time in his career and his fans are waiting eagerly for this never-before-seen avatar. The film has Kiara Advani playing the female lead with Rama Prabha, Sarathkumar and Prakash Raj in pivotal roles. Produced by Dvv Dhanayya under the banner Dvv Entertainments, the film has music by Devi Sri Prasad and Ravi K Chandran cranking the camera. (Content provided by Digital Native)...

Our favorite Indian commando Karan (Vidyut Jammwal) is back, this time with bigger muscles in a bigger film. But is bigger always better? Where the first part, 2013’s “Commando”, wasn’t a great film, it did offer some fun moments with its action god Jammwal kicking and punching his way to solutions. “Commando 2”, also known as “The Black Money Trail”, shows more of that and is definitely bigger in scale but also a lot dumber than it’s predecessor.
Watch This Title
Just like with part 1, the film contains fun moments and some action blowouts that feed our ever-hungry action junkie soul, but the story is just a big mess. Where the previous instalment had a simple and straightforward story, this film offers a plot full of twists and turns. Unfortunately, it turns it into one of those movies that tries to be smart but looks kind of dumb while doing it.
