Sivamani plays for Mahesh Babu

Famous percussionist Sivamani, who is known for his work with A.R.Rahman, has worked for Prince Mahesh Babu’s ‘The Businessman’. The ace drummer has worked along with Thaman for the theme song and the title song of the movie. Sivamani worked for some of the biggest musical hits in A.R.Rahman’s career. Thaman is said to be extremely happy about the way the music sessions are going for the the movie.

He is in Mumbai along with lyricist Bhaskarabhatla for composing and recording the songs. We have learnt that ‘The Businessman’ will have five songs in all. Shooting is progressing briskly in Mumbai and the movie is being readied for a January 2012 release. Puri Jagannath is directing this movie it is being produced by R.R.Movie Makers.

Kajal is playing the heroine opposite Mahesh Babu and the movie has some noted actors and actresses in key roles. It will be a record of sorts for Prince Mahesh Babu when the movie is released in January in such a short time. The movie has the very interesting tagline ‘Guns dont need agreements’.

Let us see what magic Puri Jagannath and Mahesh Babu can recreate with this film. Their last outing yielded the super duper blockbuster Pokiri.

Secret Behind Oosavelli Records

It was stated that ‘Oosaravelli’ collected Rs 15 Cr plus on the first day (Thursday) of its release world wide. It has shown Rs 1.9 Crore as the collection on the first day in USA. But the official distribution sources from USA state that the film collected not more than Rs 40 lakh on the first day. The figure Rs 1.9 Cr was the amount for which the film was bought by distributors in USA but not the collection (!!)

On the other hand, the collections were projected that big to stand as the top-1 in Tollywood history. Counting the amounts collected by advance bookings (till Sunday), they announced the total first day collection worldwide was Rs 15 Cr plus.

It is true that hype matters for the success of the film in some cases. But in long run, this type of fake numbers may not help the success of the film in any way.
