You need to be over-expressive, loud and vociferous to make yourself heard in Telugu film industry. And we all know that story sitting is the first step in the production of any film. Hence a story writer
needs to use all his/her skills to convince the producer, director and the hero about the story. There is one writer who narrates the dialogues as per the scene by emoting himself. If there is a crying
scene involved, he would narrate it by actually crying! K Viswanath has beautifully captured this character in his film 'Swarabhishekam' in the form of Venu Madhav. Venu Madhav plays the role of a
music director who prepares himself physically and mentally to suit the situation in the scene while composing music for it.

Budget flops and Cost failures
Some of our budget-craze producers/directors/actors seem to have forgotten simple economics that govern the outcome of a film being a hit/flop. It is just a commonsense that if you make a film
under 5 crores, you would deliver a blockbuster even if it collects a share 8 crores. If you make a film over 15 crores, then that film would become a blooper even if it collects a share of 14 crores.
Certain films are being termed as budget flops or cost failures even before the release of the films because of high budgets. Cutting the hero/director's remunerations and limiting the wastage of
production days would eventually bring down the budget, which in turn would make a film become commercial hit though it has got average talk. Every producer/director/hero seems to know these
simple economics, but most of them are forgetting when it comes to making their own films.
Hindi freemakes are in
Telugu filmmakers are also depending on Hindi films for story ideas. We already had films Varsham (Tezaab), Satruvu (Naam) and Intlo Srimati Veedhilo Kumari (Hungama - probably a remake)
made in this year. As per the sources of idlebrain.com, there are few freemakes from Hindi films that are being alleged made by big banners and big makers. These films are Maine Pyar Kiya, Kal Ho
Na Ho (which in turn inspired by Anand), Ghaatak and Koi Mil Gaya.
Serendipity freemake again in Telugu
Our Telugu filmmakers never seem to get tired of getting inspired by Hollywood blockbuster Serendipity. Okariki Okaru, Nee Manasu Naaku Telusu and Love Today films had some inspiration from
Serendipity. The Tamil flick Jay Jay, which is being dubbed in Telugu with the same title, is also inspired by Serendipity. An idlebrain.com source has it that a straight Telugu film that is ready for the
release is also inspired by Serendipity. When will this quest of freemaking Serendipity stops? May be till they deliver a hit film!
STAR to buy MAA TV?
As per the latest speculations in the TV channels market, STAR TV is said to be negotiating with MAA TV for a possibility of buying a major stake in MAA TV. If it works out on both the sides, they might
come up with the news officially in the weeks to come.

Opportunistic Prema
Prema has acted in many blockbusters and Telugu film industry encouraged her a lot. But she actively participated in an anti Telugu films rally conducted in the leadership of Kannada Raj Kumar by
protesting against the newly proposed tax pattern for non-Kannada film. There used to be 70% tax on non-Kannada films earlier and Karnatana Government has taken a decision to decrease the
entertainment tax from 70% of 30% on non-Kannada films. Telugu films are the biggest beneficiary because of this tax cut. Raj Kumar held a huge rally to protest this and made sure that Telugu films
could only be released 6 weeks after they release in AP. The Karnataka territory has a considerable share in Telugu films business. Any Telugu big hero's film is being sold between 60 lakhs to 1
crore for Karnataka territory. Because of this new regulation, all the latest Telugu films starting from 'Naa Autograph' were not released in Karnataka. The latest one that suffered for lack of Karnataka
release is Mahesh Babu's Arjun. The Telugu film lovers found betrayed when Prema participated in such an event that hampers the market and reach of Telugu cinema.
'Koi Mil Gaya' in Telugu
A popular director is freemaking a Hrithik Roshan's blockbuster 'Koi Mil Gaya' in Telugu now. This film stars a non-Telugu hero who had given two duds after his debut. And it also features a Hindi
heroine in main lead. A media baron is producing this film. We have to wait and see how this film shapes up.
Vissa TV Channel in soup
Vissa TV channel, which was launched in a big way last year, - from the group of Tamil Raj TV - is having tough time now. This channel stopped relaying programs since three weeks. It is learnt that
there are certain grey matters related to licensing and permits which made Vissa TV stall its operations.
