Okay the reasons I want it to be a HIT is , first of all Gautham in it. And secondly it's an hit telugu movie Ala Modalaindi's remake. This story actually have a big history behind the makings of Ala Modalindi.. Well will bring some to old live now. And before that. Now this movie is on progress in remaking it in Kannada too.. So just imagine it.. Okay coming to the OLD Live now, which were personally said by the awesome director Nandini Reddy, a few years back.. 

The Development Process

• It started with the idea of two people (belonging to opposite sex) meeting in a crisis situation. It will be more interesting than a boy meeting a girl in a regular way. I was in Chennai at that time and discussing with Anjana Ali Khan (director of Tamil film Veppam). The basic seed of the story came out of that conversation. I gave a 10-minute narration to Nani and he said that its awesome. We wanted to title the movie as 'Prema Thokka Tholu'. I am basically a lazy writer. Hence, Anjana threatened me by putting a deadline of 10 days to complete the script. I wanted the scenes, characters and characterisations come out of the experiences from my life and the from the people I have observed. To stay in that zone/space, I repeatedly watched Friends, When Harry Met Sally and A Lot Like Love during that period. I wrote a 60-scenes order on a pair of yellow papers. I write very little on paper for a scene (a couple of lines for a scene as most of the content is there in my head). I don’t want to slow down my mind while writing as our mind works faster than our hand

Choosing The Cast

*as told by the Original Director Nandini Reddy*

• John Abraham – Asish Vidyardhi I wanted to take the film to next level and I felt that I needed one more layer. I watched a film titled 'In July' in my initial days. In that film a guy is carrying a dead body to cross the border. Another guy takes a lift, but notices the dead body. The entire film is about misrepresentation. I took that movie as reference and created a character called 'John Abraham' who is a professional kidnapper. I wanted to derive humor by showing the human angle in him. I have also used John Abraham character to ask the questions to Nani on the behalf of audiences
• I liked the layer of Johan Abraham character, but the entire team is not convinced about it. That idea was put in cold-storage. After the 3rd schedule of the film, a friend and a co-director Srinivas came to the sets. I narrated him the John Abraham thread. Srinivas loved it and convinced the producer by talking to him. Since it involves casting a notable actor, it is a big decision to the producer. Asish Vidyardhi was my original preference. But tried Prakash Raj as I personally know him. Prakash Raj loved the character but said that he is playing a similar character in Orange movie. Then I spoke to Asish Vidyardhi and narrated the script. He loved it and quoted his price. It was unaffordable to the producer. After a few days, Asish Vidyardhi called us again and lowered him remuneration.
• Scrat – Ramesh I used to love the scrat character in Ice Age movie. Scrat character has nothing to do with the story of Ice Age, but creates chaos. I wanted to create such a character for my movie. Producer Damu suggested that we should have a guy hit with recession. Writer Bhupal said that we should have a drunken character. It was Bhupal who suggested Ramesh for that character. Ramesh worked for Mahatma and Bheemili in the past, but didn’t get any recognition. He is a simple and hardworking boy. His work in Ala Modalaindi is being appreciated well.
• Shooting of the climax was very difficult as we have many character, links and threads. Writer Anil Ravipudi provided great help in climax. Introduction of Sneha Ullal’s character Anjana pointed out that Nani’s character is always rejected by all the girls. He should reject a girl by choice (not by destiny). That’s how we created the character of Sneha Ullal.

And for me this was the only movie that gained 4.5 star reviews with over night. 

Now from Ala Modalaindi coming back to Yennamo Yedho, we will have Gautham Karthik in lead role as Gautham while Rakul Preet as the heroine playing the role done by Nithya Menen. And this will be her debut movie in Tamil.. While Nikesha Patel's character I'm not so sure of it whether she's doing the characters done by Sneha Ullal or Kriti Kharbanda. And more over we wll be having Prabu sir in a major role which was originally done by Ashish Vidhyarthi sir in telugu. This character is one of the most favouritest one for me. In this movie you can expect for sentiments, love, family bonding, mother-son love, humours and comedy as well.

So amigos get your tickets for yennamo Yedho which is all set to release this friday 25th April. Thank u :)

500 Words Review: The Secret Garden (1911)

The most inspiring classical story for me was The Secret Garden. So lets take a review within 500 words only!!

The Secret Garden, written by Frances Hodgson Burnett, is a charming book about a girl named Mary Lennox. She is a spoiled and sickly child who lives in India. When her parents die because of a cholera epidemic, she moves to Misselthwaite Manor to live with her rich uncle in England. Things are a definite change for her. Slowly she becomes stronger and starts to take an interest in the outdoors. She meets all sorts of people like Martha, Dickon, and Colin. Martha is a maid on the grounds who has taken a fancy to Mary, and Dickon is her brother. Dickon is quite an unusual fellow. He possesses the ability to talk to animals and is able to grow anything with a little bit of soil. Colin, who you will meet later in the story, is a child who has basically given up the will to live, believing he is doomed to be a hunchback like his father. Strong-willed Mary reprimands him and takes matters into her own hands. Mary has all kinds of adventures with strange sounds at night, funny accents, and a locked garden. The Secret Garden is a wonderful book about friendship, determination, and perseverence.

500 Words Review: Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallow

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallow isn't just the final installment of a film franchise, it's the ending of an era. The eighth movie in the series takes us to the wizarding world for one more look at Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint), and Hermione (Emma Watson) as they square off against Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) for the last time. The movie is also peppered with the familiar faces we've come to know and love throughout the series, but ultimately, this film belongs to Harry as he comes to terms with the death and destruction of his peers as well as his own mortality. No film in the series has had higher stakes, more action, or quite this much anguish.

As the threesome arrives at their former school, Neville Longbottom informs Harry, Ron, and Hermione that "Hogwarts has changed." It doesn't take a wizard to see what he means: the once warmly lit castle is now shrouded in gray, the laughter of the students has been replaced with fear, and the once-bubbly professors are now panic-stricken and unsmiling. It's only fitting that Hogwarts, where Harry's wizarding life began, is also where it all ends, and so begins the much-anticipated battle between good and evil that comprises the majority of the movie. To find out why Deathly Hallows Part 2 is a must-see, just read more. The final book is split into two movies, but there's still so much ground to cover in Part 2 that the urgency of Harry's situation pulsates throughout the entire movie. Little time is spent on the more intricate details of the Horcruxes and grieving for fallen wizards isn't a priority. Instead, the film is a visual feast of one gripping scene after another; there's so much happening at once that you don't even know what part of the screen to focus on. As the final chapter unravels at warp speed, there's nary a moment to unclench your fists.

Though the laughs and heart-warming moments are harder to find in Deathly Hallows Part 2, in their place are top-notch performances (particularly from Alan Rickman) and tear-jerking interludes. The movie is in many ways a long kiss good-bye to Harry's worldwide fan base: your enjoyment hinges on your own dedication to, and love for all things Potter.

As a lifelong fan of the series, watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is what I imagine it would be like watching your kids graduate from high school: your heart swells, your eyes get a little misty, but more than anything else, you're left feeling satisfied in the presence of a huge milestone.
