A dull season ahead

I was watching Jai Chiranjeeva this afternoon and recollected the moments at Seven Acres Studios where I had been to meet Sameera Reddy. This was a scene when Sameera squats with a group of girls and rags Venu Madhav. For half a minute scene the actress took nearly two hours to get it right while Ashwani Dutt’s brother sat helplessly watching the remarkably patient director sweat it out in the sun.

Yamagola we hear is shaping out to be really wonderful. An actor says Mohan Babu had given a splendid performance. Touted to be a complete comedy from his side. One source says Chiru didn’t forget his P’s and Q’s even when the fracas between Mohan Babu and him was on. He sent his son Ramcharan with a bunch of flowers to wish him on getting the Padmashri. The festival of colours is just a few days away but what puts the industry on tenterhooks is the cricket which threatens to keep people away from the theatres.
