Two years ago, Tollywood was swept off by a tsunami (as proudly claimed by the makers in the teaser) called Sampoornesh Babu and Hrudaya Kaleyam. While Sampoo became a Burning Star, the film became a cult classic among spoof films genre, while many others hated it passionately.

After two years, the same team has returned with yet another spoof film titled Kobbari Matta. The film's teaser was released a while ago and it has already become a talking point, but for not so good reasons. First thing first, at 2:37 minutes, it's more of a trailer than a teaser.

And secondly, the entire teaser is an attempt to spoof the iconic Rajinikanth in and as Pedarayudu. The entire teaser has been spread with Sampoo's two minute breathless dialogue about women which is more suffocating and derogatory to women rather than evoking laughter. We will have to wait until the film's release to see if Sampoo manages to create any stir at the box-office.

Producer Prasad V Potluri is laughing of at the reports of his exit from film production. As the Kshanam producer is prepping up to make films on spree, reports of him quitting movies come as shocker to many. However, sources close to the producer have quashed them as "baseless" reports.

"PVP is a strong man. He has great passion for filmmaking and has long list of goals to be achieved. In fact, he is aiming to revolutionise the filmmaking and bringing corporate culture into the production. He has already prepared a road map," said a highly-placed source in the production house.

The source added that he's not so fed-up with the directors but he'd be more conscious from now on wards. While Rana-starrer Ghazi, India's first submarine-based war film, is under production in Hindi, he is contemplating to remake Bangalore Days in Telugu. On other hand, several other projects are under various stages of talks, pre-production. Not long ago, PVP himself stated that he'd be making 9 films in another six months

Looks like the bad times for overseas distributors will continue to haunt them this summer. 

After a decent start to their summer season with Oopiri, the US buyers have been pegged down by a couple of high profile disasters such as Sardaar Gabbar Singh and Sarrainodu, which made losses to the tune of more than $1 million each.

And now, Brahmotsavam is giving sleepless nights to the overseas buyers as the film is struggling at the ticket windows. With nearly $2.7 million at stake, Brahmotsavam has so far collected close to $1.5 million, leaving slightly more than half the investment yet to be recovered.

Even though Mahesh's overseas stamina is pulling the crowds in decent numbers, the film has to perform exceedingly well to bail out its buyers. With Trivikram's A..Aa set for June 2 release, Brahmotsavam is staring at a stiff competition. 

On the other hand, US buyers are pinning all their hopes on the next summer biggies such as A..Aa and Kabali.
