Puri tries to improve 'Business Man'
Director puri jagannath has said several things during his informal interaction with the media yesterday. The director was not just full of praise for the hero of the film Prince Mahesh Babu but also announced a sequel to the film. It is a bit surprising to see a director come forward to meet the press just three or four days after the release of the film and claim it to be a big success.
While the Businessman opened to houseful collections for the first three days – thanks largely to the Dookudu effect and Mahesh Babu’s pulling power, the situation today is slightly different. Businessman is doing well but not as well as claimed by Puri. So Puri’s efforts are being seen as a publicity stunt to boost the film.
What is wrong with Kajal..!?
kajal agarwal is on cloud nine. Thanks to Mahesh Babu and the Businessman Kajal now has another success to her credit. kajal agarwal has several hits to her credit in Telugu. However not many are willing to give her full credit for the success of all her films. kajal agarwal is mostly seen as a girl next door actress with no big sex appeal or figure. She has been lucky to land big projects like Ram Charan’s Magadheera, Prabhas’ Mr. Perfect and now Businessman.
kajal agarwal seems to have some problem with her looks. She looks ravishingly beautiful and drop dead gorgeous in some scenes and in other scenes in the same film she simply looks a plane Jane. May be there is a problem with her make up as it is not consistent throughout the film. Let us hope she will give some attention to this.

Puri Blocked Mahesh from Bollywood!?
Why is it that a tri-lingual ‘businessman’ of Mahesh Babu hasn’t got even a Hindi version ready for release? With Mahesh Fans repeatedly requesting their Star Hero for a Bollywood entry, what could be the best time than this New Year and who could be the best director other than Puri to give Mahesh a better launch pad? Yes, here is an inner Film Nagar gossip which exposed some sort of truth behind ‘businessman.’
Earlier before starting of this project, Puri was desperate to make Abhishek Bachchan become hero of the Hindi version of ‘businessman.’ Due to other reasons, he opted to stay out thus giving way for Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam to go ahead. What is the reason that Puri didn't try Mahesh for Bollywood version too? The actual reason is that storyline and narration of ‘businessman’ was too much inspired from Big B’s revenge drama of ‘Agneepath.’ While Hrithik Roshan and Karan Johar are already on the task of remaking the same, wisely Junior B well left the offer making Puri to think twice. Now, one has to wait and see who will fare better…will it be ‘businessman’ in Telugu or ‘Agneepath’ in Hindi releasing around the same time?

Voluptuous Babe's Topless still cause havoc
If sporting a bikini is the biggest challenge for any actress then there is a much greater challenge than that. It is to pose in seminude style and still create the attention without controversy. Right now, one girl seems to be doing the needful in this regard and it is much needed for her.
She is none other than Charmee. News is that this Punjabi beauty who was recently seen in a topless still of sorts for the CCL calendar has grabbed the eyeballs of many moviemakers. Many say that Charmee seems to have cut down on her flab and her newfound figure seems to be quite appealing.
Filmnagar folks reveal that Charmee has been getting calls from many appreciating the stills and putting few proposals for projects. However, it is not sure whether these calls are being made for some 'special' photoshoot opportunities or for some meaty roles in films. Let us hope Charmee's beauty brings her some fruitful results.
Mahesh finds his perfect match in Kajal Agarwal
Mahesh Babu is Prince of Tollywood and he is undoubtedly one of the most handsome and charming heroes in the country. He is a perfect combination of strikingly handsome looks and strong performance skills. So, finding a leading lady who could match Mahesh onscreen is always a tough call.
The pairing of Mahesh and Ileana worked big time in Pokiri and the film turned out to be a record breaking hit. After that, none of the actresses who were paired opposite Mahesh lived up to the expectations (Mahesh-Trisha in Sainikudu, Mahesh-Amritha Rao in Athidi, Mahesh-Anushka in Khaleja and Mahesh-Samantha in Dookudu). Though Samantha scored some decent mark with her performance in Dookudu, Mahesh overshadowed her completely with his terrific screen presence.
Lookslike, the search for the perfect match to Mahesh has come to an end with 'Businessman'. The posters and the trailers of the film have given an indication that both Mahesh and Kajal look great on screen. Kajal is a perfect mix of beauty and talent. Considering her height factor and skin tone, Mahesh can't ask for anything more. Let's hope this duo teams up more often to make their fans happy and also wait till January 11th to have a blast!!

'Businessman' War dialogue lands in controversy
One of the most sacred and highly revered epics of any Hindu is the Bhagavad Gita. The aspects of Dharma, Karma etc are explained vividly and even rationalists would find it hard to negate any point in that. But it appears that one man may have challenged the doctrines of this holy work. He is Puri Jagannadh.
Apparently, Lord Krishna talks about ‘Dharmam’ in Bhagavad Gita but a dialogue in Puri’s new film ‘Businessman’. It goes – Yudhdham Chetakaani Vaade Dharmam Gurinchi Maatladuthaadu’. This has raised eyebrows of many Hindus.
They are objecting to this as it violates the law of Bhagavad Gita and say “If this dialogue is there then it should be removed. Moreover, Krishna didn’t fight, but spoke about dharma. This dialogue is like challenging the very essence of the Holy Scripture. If the trailer comes with this dialogue then we will not allow it to be released.” Let us see how this goes.
Well, Businessman unit members say that this dialogue is written as per the character and his characterization and we never thought to demean any holy scripture. We are shocked to listen to such interpretations. We have to see what Puri will answer.

This dialogue is like challenging the very essence of the Holy Scripture. If the trailer comes with this dialogue then we will not allow it to be released.” Let us see how this goes.
