Prabhas as Badrinath
Chinni Krishna who provided storyline for the blockbusters like Narasimha Naidu, Indra and Gangotri in the past would be directing a film with Prabhas as hero. This film is titled as Badrinath. Gopikrishna Films - the home banner of Krishnam Raju - is reentering film production after a gap of 19 years. Prabhas's elder brother Prabodh would act as producer. It might be learnt that Suryanarayana Raju (brother of Krishnam Raju) acted as producer for Gopikrishna banner when Krishnamraju was active as hero. Now it is the turn of new generation (Prabhash & Prabodh) to carry forward the banner. This announcement was made today (20th January) on the eve of birthday of Krishnam Raju. This film would go to floors on 11th May 2005. More details awaited.

Rajamouli slashes remuneration
In a healthy and generous gesture, Raja Mouli - the hotshot director who delivered three continuous blockbusters Student No.1, Simhadri and Sye - has slashed his remuneration for his latest film Chatrapati starring Prabhas. It is reliably learnt that Prabhas also slashed his remuneration for this film. By doing so, this director-hero duo made sure that budget stays in stipulated limits. It may be noted that Rajamouli has charged a very nominal remuneration for Sye film as well. Let us hope that few of our budget-fetish directors take a cue from Rajamouli and bring smiles to producers.
