Bollywood star director Prakash Jha is making all efforts to remake super hit film ‘Rangam’ in Hindi. The film which was originally made in Tamil as ‘Ko’ is also a huge hit in Tollywood as ‘Rangam’.  The story line of the film is very interesting and the script is fantastic.

Pawan Kalyan Panjaa title song brought forward

Added by vidhatha on Dec 10, 2011

The makers of Power Star Pawan Kalyan’s latest film ‘Panjaa’ have decided to change the position of the title song upon the demand of the fans. Though the movie received positive response from the fans and audience, some sections of people opined that the title song was misplaced. The song which is a chartbuster was rocking onscreen too. Pawan’s dancing skills in this song reminds us his energy levels in Made in Andhra Student song from the movie ‘Thammudu’.

The fans of the actor are going gaga over this song and the actual thing is that the song comes after the end credit. This is a big drawback and most of the people are leaving the theaters thinking that the movie is over. Though the placement of the song is not exactly known, our sources claim that the makers are planning to place it in the first half of the movie.

With this latest update, the movie will become crispier and certainly enthrall the audience and especially the fans of Power Star.
