Though we have seen a disaster in the form of Jr. NTR's much hyped Shakti, from a star producers company; The story of Badrinath is totally different with the extremely talented technicians teamed up to develop a flick that is ready to set new records in terms of collections for much deserved performer - Allu Arjun..Lets see how is this movie planned for Allu Arjun:
No one would have expected that Arjun's first movie Gangotri will become a huge hit, with the kind of costumes he was given and the way he was shown in it. But he created history by becoming the debutant hero with maximum number of 100 days centers (Gangotri - 100 days in 54 centers).
2003 Gangotri2004 Arya
2005 Bunny
2006 Happy
2007 Desamuduru
2008 Parugu
2009 Arya 2
2010 Varudu
2010 Vedam
2011 Badrinath
Above list shows that Badrinath is his 10th Movie as a hero. Though Arjun is making movies at a very slow pace (only one an year), he never failed in impressing audience with his quality performance - he rocked all the way starting from Gangotri, Arya to Vedam..
Being the nephew of two of the big stars of Telugu cinema - Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan; Son of the ace producer Allu Arvind; Grandson of legendary comedian Allu Ramalingaiah; he has got solid filmy background. But Arjun never utilized any other external power to win awards (He just won only two prestigious awards - Winner, Filmfare Best Actor Award (Telugu) - Winner, Nandi Special Jury Award - both for his 6th Movie Parugu - and every movie critic knows that he excelled in it and deserves for the same) rather concentrated on his career to become a super star by learning varied topics of cinema - and now with his 10th Movie, Badrinath in his 10th year in the industry (his first movie, Daddy released 0n 4th October 2001), wants to show what he is...
Now comes the above mentioned background team of his - who has set all the required ingredients for a block buster & remarkable hit movie for him. Arjun is now a 10 year-10 Movie Old Telugu Film Hero who already tasted big success and have his solid fans base!
Chinni Krishna prepared a most powerful and suitable story for Allu Arjun (Story Writer of Gangotri - Chinni Krishna is actually ready with Badrinath script in 2004 itself and wanted to direct it. But could not able to do so and the project was shelved due to difference in opinion with the producer regarding a sequence in the story). Chinni Krishna in one of the interviews told that, "Had I changed the scene, I would have become a director by then, but since I believed the story I did not make changes. After 6 years, the same script is now taking shape under the direction of VV Vinayak on Allu Aravind’s banner.” About his 10 years of film career he said, “Making money is not my prime aim. According to me, it is not the quantity or money matters but the quality stuff that we provide. My main aim is that the audience should appreciate the stories provided by me to the directors and producers. Top film personalities like James Cameroon, Raj Kapoor, Bhagyaraj, etc., have inspired me to do quality films. Hence I did just 4 films in these 10 years.”
Revealing his life time ambition he said, “It was my life time amtbition to do a film with Aamir Khan with a script that would break the box office records of '3 Idiots' and also win an Oscar award. Very soon I’m going to narrate the script to him.” One can imagine how would be the story line of Badrinath, from such an ambitious & stubborn writer!!
VV Vinayak, who directed Aadhi with Jr. NTR, Chennakesava Reddy with Balakrishna, Lakshmi with Venkatesh and Tagore with Chiranjeevi is all set to entertain the telugu audience once again with Allu Arjun in Badrinath. No doubt he is the best directors of tollywood. Is in't it?
Peter Heins is still remembered by every movie audience for his best fight sequences, whether it may be in Chatrapathy or in Magadheera - which plays a crucial role in the success of the film! Peter does the best for Arjun's Badrinath...Anand Sai - See the Wallpapers, one can easily visualize his creativity from his past movies starting from Toliprema to Shakti. Anand Sai is the Art Director for 9 Movies of Pawan Kalyan & 5 Other Movies of Mega family i.e., total 14 Movies in the last 13 years starting from 1998 with Toliprema - that is the confidence megafamily has on Anand. Especially when the movie is a high budget one, audience can definetly expect more.
Cinematography - Ravi Varman, ISC, is a celebrated Director Of Photography of India. He has shot many award winning films in Indian languages of Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and English. Known for his realistic picturization and poetic framing sense, Ravi Varman began his career in Malayalam films. He won one of the prestigious awards, ITFA Best Cinematographer Award for Dasavathaaram (2009)
MM Keeravani - Already audio is released and 3 songs are super hit - Ambadhari, Chiranjeeva, Vasudhaara.. apart from others. His BGM really turns the movie like anything, just as in his Sye, Chatrapathi, Yama Donga, Magadheera among others. Surely he will repeat this magic with his BGM in Badrinath...
Allu Arjun with his 10 years of experience (Badrinath being his 10th Movie) wanted to show what he is. While Tamanna already started proving herself in south will surely put her best efforts in Badrinath to reach the top position in tollywood. Prakash Raj, Brahmanandam, Shinde, Rao Ramesh, Dharmavarapu, Krishna Bhagwan, Tanikeella Bharani, etc., are already in the list of the best supporting actors. And remember, the record breaker - Allu Arvind is the Producer of this Movie who already spent over Rs. 40 Crore for the best end product.
