Varun Tej Doing All He Can For ‘Matka’!

Mega Prince Varun Tej has hit a rough patch recently. He arrived as a solo hero with movies like ‘Ghani’, ‘Gandheevdhari Arjuna’, and ‘Operation Valentine’. All three of them became disasters and his market took a severe beating because of it. His fan following is getting is getting affected and sources say that his upcoming movies are facing the heat due to it.

During the time of ‘Operation Valentine’, he started a movie titled ‘Matka’ which is set in a period backdrop. The glimpse generated a decent response and Karuna Kumar of ‘Palasa 1978’ fame is directing it. Around 15 days of the shoot was completed and Ram Talluri bankrolled the film under SRT Entertainments. The movie’s budget was initially planned at 55 crores.

Varun Tej had two disasters and there are doubts about the box-office stamina of the Mega hero. Along with the digital rates, everything is going down and the makers are finding it a risk to invest such huge money on this film. Reports suggest that Varun Tej is doing all he can as he has reportedly agreed to a reduction in remuneration.

Apparently, Varun met with the producers and was involved in the budget details and new schedules in the last week of May. Let us wait and see if all his efforts work out or not. Meenakshi Chowdary and Nora Fatehi are the female leads in this movie. Naveen Chandra and Kannada Kishore will be playing prominent roles.

Ashish Teja is the production designer and Suresh is the art director. A huge vintage set depicting Vizag in the 60s is going to be constructed by the team. GV Prakash who is signing multiple Telugu projects lately is going to compose the music for this flick too. Priyaseth will handle the cinematography. Karthika Srinivas R is the editor. This indeed is the first Pan India project for Varun Tej and it will release in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi languages. The rest of the cast includes Ajay Ghosh, Mime Gopi, Roopalakshmi, Vijayrama Raju, Jagadeesh, Raj Thirandas and others.

‘Darling’ Glimpse: Priyadarshi & Nabha Natesh As Amusing Couple!

Talented actor Priyadarshi is on a roll with successful films like ‘Balagam’ and ‘Om Bheem Bush’. His web series ‘Save The Tigers’ too was a good hit. He is now arriving with an interesting flick named ‘Darling’. K Niranjan Reddy of PrimeShow Entertainment is the producer of this movie while Smt Chaitanya presenting it. ‘Ismart’ beauty Nabha Natesh is making a comeback with this romantic comedy after an injury.

Directed by Ashwin Raam, the makers have announced the title as ‘Darling’ and the tagline is ‘Why This Kolaveri?’ The first-look poster that shows Priyadarshi’s marriage proposal to Nabha Natesh is as pleasing as the title. They even released the glimpse where Priyadarshi is seen releasing his doubts and frustrations about women to the men sitting in a barber shop. It starts with a funny conversation between Priyadarshi and a barber. The latter asks Priyadarshi about the reason behind looking so stressed.

He says girls are loving and affectionate when they are mothers, and supportive and protective when they are sisters. When the same girl is a lover, she is cute and bubbly and understands us a lot. But what if that girl gets married, they turn our life upside down? Then, we get to see Nabha being angry at him all the time. The glimpse is very entertaining and it will connect a lot to not just the youth but also the family audience. The title glimpse’s idea of depicting women’s state of mind through popular songs shows the creative side of the director Aswin Raam.

While Mahesh Babu’s Pedave Palikina is used to show a mother’s love for her son, Pawan Kalyan’s Annayya Annavante song is used to demonstrate brother-sister bonding, and Prabhas’ Mellagaa Karagani song is meant to show the intimacy between lovers. It is quite creative from the makers. Naresh is the lensman, whereas Vivek Sagar will provide the music. Hemanth pens the dialogues, while Pradeep E Ragav of Love Today edits the movie. Gandhi is the production designer. Ananya Nagalla will be seen in a key role.

The glimpse has definitely given us a positive vibe and let us see how ‘Darling’ is going to be.
