Reviews
Jothegara stars Prem Kumar and Ramya in lead roles. Produced by Ashwini Ramparasad, the movie is all set to hit screens any day.
But there seems to be some problems between the lead actor and producer. Apparently, Prem is miffed with Ashwini, who gave a statement that Prem Kumar's role in the film was like that of a supporting actor.
Though the title did make it a hero-oriented film, Ashwini said that he had not invested in the film for the hero, who had a string of flops to his credit. On the contrary, it was the story of Jothegara that attracted him.
Recently, five songs from the movie were screened for the media, and this is where the discord came to light. Adding fuel to fire was Ashwini's claim that he did not need Prem Kumar for the film's promotion, when the latter threatened to withdraw from all publicity activities.
But all said and done, the media response to the songs has been very good. The movie has been creating a lot of positive pre-release buzz.
Well let’s hope both of them put this issue behind them and concentrate on promoting the movie.
The discordant note between the lovely star Premkumar and producer Ashwini Ramprasad of ‘Jothegara’ surfaced open on Wednesday afternoon after screening of five songs for the media of the film ‘Jothegara’ at Arjun Art Studio in Bangalore.
‘I can go without Premkumar now for the publicity and promotion’ said producer Ashwini Ramprsad in retaliation to what actor Premkumar said. The reason for Premkumar to express his fury that he would detach from the ‘Jothegara’ film is because producer Ramprasad given a statement that Premkumar is like supporting actor in the film. As a matter of fact the title points to the hero although top actress Ramya is in the female lead. I have not invested on my film on the basis of market of Premkumar. He has three continuous flops. The subject and making is important for me said Ramprasad in continuation of his attack on Premkumar.
The observation of Ashwini Ramprasad is that the producer and director are at best place to decide on the contents of the cinema. Premkumar is angry because the introduction song with Yana Gupta has been omitted before shooting. The team of ‘Jothegara’ discussed that the song would deviate from the family subject. Premkumar should realize this and not get angry for such things said Ramprasad.
However the five songs seen by the media of ‘Jothegara’ are superb. Ramya is surely going to be the dream girl of youths from this film. The costumes and presence is so fabulous.
What’s the role of lovely star Prem in his forthcoming film Jothegara? Some like Producer Ahwini Ram Prasad swear on Yana Gupta that he is the hero of the film. But some unsupported sources in Gandhinagar whisper that Prem is just a ‘supporting actor’ in the film. Not only Prem has lesser screen space than his co-star Ramya, but he is also paid less than her for this movie. Sources quote that while Prem’s remuneration came to 18 lakhs, the Bombat girl was paid a handsome 30 lakhs for the film.
The root cause of all this bad blood between Prem and Ahwini Ram Prasad seems to be an item song, supposed to be shot with Yana Gupta, but which never made it to the shooting floors. For some reason, Prem wanted the song at all costs but Ahwini Ram Prasad wasn’t too enthusiastic. Ahwini Ram Prasad thinks an item song by Yana, which will inevitably involve lots of skin show, will not be fit for the family audience. While this argument may not be as transparent as Yana’s famed wardrobes, we think it’s left to the producer and the director to shoot or not to shoot a song.
Reportedly, both Ramya and Prem weren’t too keen to do this film with each other. But Ahwini Ram Prasad has a good rapport with Ramya and he also was on good terms with Prem. Now, this episode leaves only Ramya and producer Ahwini Ram Prasad on very good terms. Prem, who hopefully will play the title role in the movie Jothegara is ironically left with no companions who can lend a sympathetic ear to his grievances!
