ENTRY TO THE FILM INDUSTRY:

He was first noticed when he made a special appearance in his uncle Chiranjeevi’s film Daddy that was produced by his father.His dance abilities in the film amazed the audience and offers started pouring in. He was actually director Teja’s first choice for Jayam. As Allu Arjun declined the role, it eventually went to Nitin and the film was huge hit.

His first film as a leading man, “Gangotri”, directed by veteran director K. Raghavendra Rao, was a hit. His second film “Arya” was a 2004 blockbuster. It was Arjun’s first major hit. His third film, “Bunny” was also a hit. His fourth film, “Happy” didn’t reach the expectations and turned out to be an average film. However, the film made decent profits in the United States.

In 2007, his next release with Puri Jagannadh, Desamuduru, proved to be a big hit at box office and the first hit of the year in Telugu. The film is the best in Arjun’s career so far.

In the time of discos, cyber love and cellphone craze director Teja once again decides to take the audience to the villages. Nothing wrong in that, villages are part of our life. But the story goes on the trodden path.

The village heads of Rayavaram and Kotipali — Chenchuramaiah and Chalamaiah — are the evil ones who don’t mind taking lives at the drop of the hat. Chenchuramaiah’s daughter Lakshmi (Kaajal) and her her aunt’s son Ramu (Kalyanram) are born to fall in love and get married. But Chalamaiah’s son Giridhar (Ajay) has alrady cast his evil eye on Lakshmi. Why he even kills his wife to get married to Lakshmi. Ramu has another enemy in the form of his own maternal uncle Chenchuramaiah whose wicked plans along with Chalamaiah leads to the murder of Ramu’s father. With so much venom flowing around, how will Lakshmikalyanam take place?

Around this time-tested storyline, director Teja packs a lot of punch by focussing on the rustic, hot-headedness in villages were pride and prestige rule the roost. So we have a temple that is sealed by the Collector to stop feuds, villagers are barred from entering each other’s villages and bullock cart races are held to win either for the bride or water for the village. Teja brings out the best in Kalyanram and Kalyanram does not let him down. Kaajal is sure to become a director’s actress. Sayaji Shinde as Chenchuramaiah once again makes a perfect villain. He is so much at home in Tollywood. Teja ensures that cinematography by R.A. Krishna, exposing rural life, is picture perfect.

After Rajinikanth turned down the offer to play the powerful character of Ravana in the epic film “Ramayan”, director Raj Kumar Santhoshi has cast actor Prakash Raj in the role. While Ajay Devgan and Kajol have been selected for the role of Rama and Sita. Rekha will play the key role of Kaikeyi.

A visibly thrilled Prakash says that Santhoshi has offered him the role of a lifetime. It is reported that the director will be taking the key members of the cast, which includes Prakash to Australia next month for a special training programme.

Meanwhile he is busy with his home production Mozhi and is happy with the way the film has shaped up. He is certain that Jyotika, who plays a deaf and mute girl in the film, will win a National award for her performance.
