December
is
generally
considered
as
a
dull
month
for
cinema
trade
and
business
apart
from
the
exams
time
and
no
biggies
generally
release
their
movies.
However,
this
time
around,
makers
of
two
expected
movies
are
planning
to
make
the
most
of
the
Christmas
season
considering
the
holiday
spree
and
a
long
weekend.
The
clash
seems
to
be
quite
tough
as
it
would
two
good
and
promising
heroes
who
would
be
locking
horns
against
each
other
with
content
driven
movies.
Natural

Abbayi

of

With

Class
Abbayi,
Nani
can
brag
about
his
market
reach
as
the
movie
is
said
to
have
made
a
colossal
pre-release
business
of
35
Cr.
Quite
a
staggering
amount
for
a
non-premiere
league
actor/director.
Being

to
offer
some
freshness
in
the
subject
which
will
be
complimented
by
Nani's
natural
performance.
MCA
stars
Nani,
Sai
Pallavi
and
Bhumika
Chawla
in
the
lead
roles
while
the
venture
will
be

Hello
The
young
gun
of
Akkineni
clan
has
put
his
heart
and
soul
for
his
second
movie
in
order
to
compensate
the
despair
and
disappointment
of
his
first
movie,

-
The
Jua.
The
first
look
poster
and
teaser
of
Hello
has
already
created
sensation

been
helmed
by

earlier
churned
out
interesting
movies
such
as

Manam
and
24.
Kalyani
Priyadharshani,
a
newbie
will
be
romancing
Akhil
in
the
movie
while
his
father,
Akkineni
Nagarjuna,
has
taken
extra
care
and
interest
for
the
project
and
has
donned
the
role
of
the
producer.
The
buzz
is
that
the
movie's
pre-release
business
is
commanding
quite
a
huge
sum
from
the
distributors.
Hello,
is
all
set
to
release
the
next
day
of
MCA,
i.e.,
