Work for that has already begun." ## The music director was visibly pleased with the success of 'Pushpa's songs in all the five languages that the movie released in. ## He said, "I am really happy and excited. The effort that went into all the songs has really paid off. It almost took me one month to complete each and every song in the film.

She took permission from the shoot and sung the song. I am thankful to all the singers and lyricists who cooperated well. ## "Sid Sriram was excited to sing 'Srivalli' as he felt this was something new to him. All five songs look more authentic in their respective languages. We were clear that this is not a dubbing film, but a pan-Indian flick and we wanted the quality to be on par with it." ## To another question on how he handled success, Devi Sri Prasad said, "Whether it is success or failure, I always take it to my heart and not to the mind.

'Going nude was too much for Telugu audience': Sukumar on shelving raw scene in 'Pushpa'

Hyderabad, Dec 25 (IANS) The climax of 'Pushpa: The Rise' was to have originally featured actors Allu Arjun and Fahadh Fassil in the nude but the makers backed off, apprehensive of the response from the conservative Telugu audience. ## In a conversation with the media, director Sukumar let the secret slip. "The climax confrontation scene is different from the one we originally shot," Sukumar revealed. ## Disclosing the fact that both Allu Arjun and Fahadh Fassil were supposed to appear nude in the scene, Sukumar explains that only then would the scene have appealed in its rawest form. ## "Allu Arjun and Fahadh were supposed to go nude for the climax scene. But, we did not go for it because going nude is too much for the Telugu audience," the 'Nannaku Prematho' director said. ## Despite these changes, 'Pushpa: The Rise' is considered a movie close to reality, with a couple of raw scenes. ## Staying true to the subject and hero's idiosyncrasy, Sukumar had shot a scene between Rashmika and Allu Arjun which also evoked a negative reaction from the audience. ## Some of the viewers also had demanded the makers to take down that scene from the original print. ## Sukumar also revealed that the second part - 'Pushpa: The Rule' - would be more earthy and raw. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk For More Such Updates.

Automatic and real-time updating of ticket sales. 3. Free and variable pricing of movie tickets (the free market will decide the right price)." ## Shobu opined that it might work both in the favour of exhibitors and the state government. ## "This will be a win-win situation, that will benefit the exhibition sector, film industry, and the Government!," added the 'Baahubali' producer. ## Among the very few people who stood against the government's decision, Shobu is one of them. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk For More Updates.
