But I declined the offer as it was not a novel concept in South India. And I would rate the role in QGM as one of the biggest regrets of my life.

Village lo Vinayakudu creating records even bofore release
It looks like the film ‘Village Lo Vinayakudu’ has scored enough success even before it has released.
Village lo Vinayakudu movie is as small as its budget but BIG in idea. Budget is not compromising on the quality of the film to make it a complete laugh riot and a visual treat.
As against Vinayakudu that was made in 2.4 crores, Village lo Vinayakudu, a Moonwater Pictures production, was shot in 1.39 crores. And the film is on the anvil of becoming the lowest budget movie of the year.
The film’s Audio CD, retailed at Rs.9.98, is the lowest in the Tollywood film history, and is also the single largest selling album of the year.
Ask producer Mahi on this, he ascribes it to synergizing and collaborating with various corporates like Reliance, Kalamandir, Future Generali, etc., to bring in an organized effort in marketing the film.
And this takes the cake - Moonwater pictures is also the only production house in Tollywood history to have roped in as many as 10 media partners.
Big B fans celebrate his 67th birthday

MUMBAI - Fans of Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan celebrated his 67th birthday here on Sunday.
They gathered outside his residence ‘Pratiksha’ and prayed for his happiness and future success.
Bachchan celebrated on the eve of his birthday by attending a promotion of his ensuing movie ‘Rann’.
The movie ‘Rann’ deals with the prevailing ethos in the world of journalism.
It has taken its inspiration from the bourgeoning Indian media and has delved in various issues involving journalistic integrity, dilemma and professional ethics confronting the business aspect of a media house.
Despite the critical projection of the fourth estate, Bachchan said that he has deep respect for the ideal journalism, which happens to be the ‘eyes and ears of the nation’.
“But within the way the media functions, there can be developed a story which can have great human value. The media is the conscience of the nation. What the film deals with is that it’s also a business.
Do we compromise conscience for our business? Do we compromise our business for our conscience? I think the gap between these two extremities is what this film tries to portray. In the end, we will see that who is going to be victorious and who is going to be defeated,” he said.
In the film, he plays role of a hardcore professional journalist, who runs a private TV news channel.
Bachchan added the artiste within him continues to aspire for diverse and demanding roles.
Further, he was all praise for Ram Gopal Verma, the director of the film for venturing into realistic films like ‘Satya’, ‘Company’ and ‘Sarkar’.
The actor in a span of his 40 years career in the film industry has performed some brilliant roles.
Bachchan once again came face to face with these very characters played in movies like ‘Zanjeer’, ‘Coolie’, ‘Shahanshah’, ‘Namak Halal’, which were portrayed through dummies. (ANI)
