worth da wait…

hey guys…sorry i’m not able keep in touch too regularly with u guys on my blog…thanks to twitter..hehe..

neways, i’ve been quite busy with my strength training at ma gym and a coupla other classes…was waiting for Suris film to start next month. We had a narration and in the last minute Suri n I weren’t “KICK”ed about the way it turned out.. so all those things that u guys have been hearing about budget issues and creative differences between Uncle and Suri aren’t true..so we just wanted to scarp the entire thing and decided that we shouldnt compromise and go ahead for the sake of it…true that we’ve waited for 9 whole months to listen to the script and an awful lot of money has already been spent on the project but we were keen on doing it only when the Dir,Producer,Me and the entire team are kicked about the project…

so will be going ahead with Karunakaran’s soon and am also zeroing in on another script..details soon :)

am doing all i can to make sure my next release is worth the wait now ;)

thank you alllllllll soooooo much for all the love guys ! meant a lot to me….esp those 10,000+ birthday wishes on the facebook fan page….its amazing as to how u guys really managed….got super excited…thank you all so much…

went to the devi theatre last night after hearing that “250+” families had a bulk booking for RRKK !…i guess its the first time somethin like that happened :) ..and it felt awesome to hear another 1400+ people yelling “happy b’day ram” in the theatre…the families really seem to like the movie….

it was really a b’day to remember n i owe it all to my super fans !

btw, its been exactly 10 years since i had come back home picking up the best actor award i had received for my short film”id” ….THAT ! was the beginin….i started getting offers from that day…n today i would like to thank each and every one of those big banners who offered me films after watching my movie n without knowing my filmi background….eventhough i couldnt do all of them….they brought about a major boost in my confidence….Oscar films Ravichandran, dir Shankar’s film for his first production house, M.S.Raju garu.etc etc etc……and last but not the least Y.V.S.CHOWDARY garu !

MAY 12TH – HERE I COME !!! :)

finally i’m done with RRKK !..we just finished shooting for the last song THUGO JILLA :) …was a lovely experience working with everyone….srivass is a very talented and freakin hardworking dir…dil raju garu and sirish were always around when i needed them n gave me full support….priya anand and bindu madhavi were really sweet n i had a good time workin with both of them….hope they do really well post RRKK….the cameraman shekar garu (DOP for maska) n everyone were so comfy to work with….no one had any issues with anyone while working….went off real smooth :) …esp Action king Arjun garu…he was such an awesome person….n he totally rocked on sets during the action sequences….

and coming to dances ;) ..there are two main dance numbers..well i’ll just give u a brief description of all how each song is gonna look..

RRKK TITLE SONG – well this is my fav song in the audio….i just loved the way it starts n the visuals wont disappoint one bit..its all about the hero’s characterization with some dancing of course  ;) ..shot entirely in rajahmundry..choreo by SHOBI

LERA CHANTI – this is a visual feast for everyone…its shot so well n we’ve really exploited every place that we’ve been to…its basically a sankranthi festival song…veeerrrryyyy colorful.. :) …shot in and around rajahmundry….choreo by SHOBI

OLLA OLLALA – this is a night effect song….well if u’ve been waiting to see some ” REAL” dances then the wait is over ;) ..totally western..cool moves….i also hurt my knees real bad while shooting for this song remember ?…but its all worth it when u guys watch it n enjoy ;) ….shot at vikarabad railway station+ set….choreo by PREM RAKSHIT

COUNTDOWN – guys honestly speakin….i had zero expectations on this song while shooting but after keeravani garu added the background score n srivass matched the visuals, it was awesome!….its a full on chase song with cars smashing and trust me ull get the kicks while watchin this song!….a well shot, well spent and a well made song :) ….shot on the roads of mumbai…choreo by fight master VIJAY

THUGO JILLA – well if u thought that the dances were all just for the first half then heres where i enter to prove u guys totalllyyyy WRONG!!!!!!…we’ve tried something totally new for this song and i think u guys will just want to watch this song again n again…..n again to figure out how i did it ;) …MIND BLOWING CHOREOGRAPHY BY PREM RAKSHIT !!

ENDUKILLA – well this is a situational song where keeravani garu will make sure each n evreyone in the theatre gets tears in their eyes….one of my all time fav feel song!!!!

so guys thats the sneak peek into how the songs in RRKK r gonna look like ;)

MAY 12TH – HERE I COME!!!!!!! :) :) :)

From 30 somethin degrees F to 30 somethin degrees C ! I’M BACK:)

hey guys….i’m back !…finally :) ..its been so long n feels so good to be back to the 30 something degree C from the 30 something degree F ….missed u all so much….was travelling non stop coz i had so many people to meet…..NYC to cincinnati to chicago to cincinnati again n back to NYC in a weeks time..whew ! felt like a lightning fast trip….neways happened to meet quite a few telugu families and college guys n girls there n it did feel good to know how much love they all have for me :) ….was kinda sweet…btw i’m really glad that i took the flight via dubai rather than the european ones coz i sure wouldnt have made it back on time coz of that volcanic eruption thing…

its been exactly 5 years since i’ve been to the US….the last time i was there, i was shooting for DEVDAS in april 2005 …it was quite exciting to c the same places n walk on the same streets where i had earlier filmed…was fun :) ..

thanx guys for your reviews about the audio….really glad u guys liked it n the title of my next film OOSARAVELLI … :) ..

guess all u guys r done with your exams n are all gettin set to watch RRKK…cant wait for it too…gotta shoot the final song for another couple of days n a lil bit of dubbing n i’m done :)

btw had gone to a punk rock fashion show hosted by the Hard Rock cafe in chicago for which  my cousin brother’s wife did the designing….it was a totally diff experience….so my cousin bro got a new canon SLR camera to click some pics….i’ve posted em below so u guys can check em out..well a few pics might have been taken just to test his camera or his “photography skills”, i have no clue…lol… but yeah…check em out…pics of my mom,my cousin bro,his wife n me ..well someone was asking me to post some personal pics on my blog…so here dey r..njoy :)

Oosaravelli !

yup ! thats the title for my next film with surender reddy ! :) …he just gave me an almost detailed narration of the 1st half and some developments in my characterization…loved it to the core….hope it comes out just like its been told ;) …initially i was a bit skeptical about this title but after hearing the latest developments in the script and my characterization, i think that this is the best n most apt title for this film….hope u guys like it too….it’ll take some time for it to get digested though coz u guys still dont know the basic story line….but im sure it’ll catch up as its not a regular title ;)

neways, i’ve got my RRKK audio release now in a bit….pretty excited coz i’m getting a very positive response for the trailer :) ….and post that i’m off to the USA with family on some personal work…travelling like crazy….will be back by the 22nd to complete my song and my dubbing coz its a may 5th release….pretty hectic schedule i must say ;)

so guys i’m gonna miss u all so much and will try n keep in touch with u there….but u guys lemme know n keep me informed about whats happenein here n how u like the audio :)

adios!
