మహేష్‌బాబు - అల్లు అర్జున్ సంక్రాంతి బరిలో పందెం కోళ్లలా పోటీ పడబోతున్న సంగతి తెలిసిందే. మహేశ్ 'సరిలేరు నీకెవ్వరు', అల్లు అర్జున్ 'అల.. వైకుంఠపురములో' చిత్రాలతో జనవరి 12న థియేటర్లలోకి రాబోతున్నట్లు ఇప్పటికే అధికారికంగా ప్రకటించేశారు. ఈ రెండూ మరో యాభై రోజుల్లో ప్రేక్షకుల ముందుకు రానున్నాయి. అయితే ప్రచార పర్వంలో బన్నీతో పోల్చితే మహేశ్ చాలా వెనకంజలో ఉన్నాడు.
నిజానికి 'అల.. వైకుంఠపురములో'తో పోల్చితే 'సరిలేరు నీకెవ్వరు'నే తొలి ప్రచార చిత్రాన్ని ముందుగా ప్రేక్షకులకు చూపించింది. సెట్స్‌పైకి వెళ్లిన రోజే విడుదల ముహూర్తాన్నీ ప్రకటించింది. అంతేకాదు చిత్ర టైటిల్‌ గీతాన్ని ముందుగా వినిపించింది కూడా మహేశ్ బృందమే. ఇక ఆ తర్వాత చిన్న చిన్న పోస్టర్లు మినహా చిత్ర బృందం పెద్దగా ప్రచార హడావుడి ఏమీ చేయలేదు. 'సరిలేరు..'తో పోల్చితే ఆలస్యంగానే ప్రచార పర్వాన్ని షురూ చేసిన 'వైకుంఠపురం' బృందం మాత్రం ఇప్పుడు జోరు మీద సాగిపోతుంది.
ఇప్పటికే ఈ చిత్రం నుంచి 'సామజవరగమన', 'రాములో రాములా' గీతాలతో సినీప్రియుల దృష్టిని ఆకర్షించిన బన్నీ బృందం.. తాజాగా మూడో గీతాన్ని కూడా విడుదల చేసేసింది. ఇప్పటికే బయటకొచ్చిన ఈ పాటలకు నెట్టింట మంచి ఆదరణ లభిస్తుండగా.. మహేశ్ విడుదల చేసిన టైటిల్‌ గీతానికి అంతగా ఆదరణ దక్కలేదు. అయితే 'సరిలేరు..' బృందం మాత్రం అన్నీ పక్కాగా సిద్ధం చేసుకున్నాకే ప్రచార బరిలోకి దిగాలని ఆలోచన చేస్తోందట. కానీ, మహేశ్ అభిమానులు మాత్రం అనిల్‌ రావిపూడిపై కాస్త గుర్రుగానే ఉన్నారట. ఓవైపు మెగా అభిమానులంతా వరుస ట్రీట్లతో సందడి చేస్తుంటే.. అనిల్‌ మాత్రం చిన్న సర్‌ప్రైజ్‌ను కూడా రుచి చూపించలేకపోతున్నాడని అసహనం వ్యక్తం చేస్తున్నారు.
ఇవీ చూడండి.. పిల్లలుంటే ఇలా చేయండని చెబుతోన్న నాని

"At the beginning I was scared with that information, when our president said that it (the race) was moving to Rio. I began to look for information and saw that it would stay in Sao Paulo until 2020. And there were also comments about problems with the plans to build the track in Rio and I felt more calm. I also believe that our government in Sao Paulo won't let the event move…We, the owners of shops in the region are just a rice grain but Sao Paulo is full of people and movement when the F1 is one."

Firstly, we have to deliver - and we have 24 months for this - the track and its structure for the event, after that we will move to the next phase. That would also give us time to negotiate better in the market, as we develop the project, investors will feel more confident and all that creates more value for us… and that's our goal."

STORYLINE:
Once a year, racing fans from across South America flock to the region's only Formula One Grand Prix in the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo.
But the drizzly hometown of legendary driver Ayrton Senna risks losing its best opportunity to shine.
This week's Brazilian GP at Interlagos will be the last before F1 owner Liberty Media decides whether the race will stay at the original track beyond 2020 or move to a yet-to-be-built venue in sunny rival Rio de Janeiro.
Negotiations are officially open until May, but sports' executives suggest they could end sooner.
Just five hours' drive from each other, Sao Paulo and Rio can seem a world apart.
Sao Paulo claims glitzy clubs and restaurants whose daring chefs delight gourmands, and boasts a relatively low crime rate.
Rio can't make the same claim, but it does have the exuberance of samba and Carnival, plus dramatic postcard views of beaches and green mountains.
Now, much to Sao Paulo's dismay, Rio is pushing for an F1 racetrack, too.
Instead of ignoring one another, as usual, the cities are acting like back-biting siblings over the F1 challenge.
Politicians and racing executives on both ends of the Via Dutra road that connects Brazil's most important cities have exchanged accusations, criticism and sarcastic comments in recent months after an unexpected Rio bid from a little-known group supported by President Jair Bolsonaro.
Both Rio and Sao Paulo hope to get contracts until at least 2030 with racing's top series.
Paulistanos, as Sao Paulo residents are known, consider F1 week the city's main event, even if they don't all watch the sport.
Since 1972, with a 10-year gap of F1 in Rio, the Brazilian GP has put the city on the map for high-spending tourists.
Many bars on busy streets like Avenida Paulista are open 24-hours a day during the race, and hotels prepare feasts at early hours so fans don't need to refuel at the track.
Sao Paulo's adult entertainment industry profits more than on any other weekend.
The challenge from Rio has ever-competitive Paulistanos worrying, even if their rival remains troubled by high crime and weak economic activity.
Other cities have bid to host the F1 race, but so far only Rio's bears both touristic appeal and political weight.
Company Rio Motorpark says it will pay up to 170 million US dollars to construct a track in the seaside city's impoverished Deodoro region.
It did not provide specifics on financing nor the environmental licensing it needs to build in an area where 200,000 trees sit.
Still, MotoGP has scheduled a race there for 2022, which company CEO Jr. Pereira hopes will lure F1.
"It isn't as complex as it looks," Pereira told The Associated Press.
"We won't do it all in just a year and a half. We will build the track and its structures for the event. Then we'll move to the next phase. That would also give us time to negotiate with sponsors."
Sao Paulo politicians and racing executives are committed to stopping the move.
The metropolis' tourism agency says the F1 GP brought revenues of 80 million US dollars last year, almost 20% more than the previous season.
Rio bidders say they could double that figure with a plan that includes about 130,000 spectators watching at the same time.
Interlagos can host 60,000 fans per day.
Marcos Resenti, the owner of a bakery near the Interlagos track, was shocked when he heard Bolsonaro announce in June there was a 99% chance F1 would move to Rio.
"I was very scared," said Menezes, whose profits jumped four-fold in November.
"We, the owners of shops in the region are just a rice grain but Sao Paulo is full of people and movement when the F1 is one."
Rio Motorpark says there will be no public funds to build in the Deodoro area offered by Brazil's military.
CEO Pereira confirmed the company will receive 41.9% of the land for another real estate development if the track is concluded, but declined to name potential investors.
Rio politicians have wanted F1 back since 1990, when its Jacarepaguá track was replaced by Interlagos.
Rio Mayor Marcello Crivella and Gov. Wilson Witzel support the bid, though neither agreed to repeated interview requests from the AP.
Pereira also said Spanish contrsuction company Acciona will be involved in the project.
A spokeswoman for the company in Brazil said only Rio Motorpark will discuss the project.
A potential headache for the Rio developer is the group of environmentalists who pledged to go to court to block the project.
A local judge has already stopped the construction until the company obtains all environmental licenses.
"We are not against a track in Rio. We offered an alternative, an area nearby that is five times bigger and has only grass on it," said activist Felipe Cândido.
Another hurdle for a move is Interlagos' deep connection to F1.
It was at the old track that six-time champion Lewis Hamilton won his maiden title in 2008 in the last turns of the race.
The Sao Paulo circuit also hosted Senna's first out of three home victories in 1991, ending only with the sixth gear.
The track promised for Rio was projected by renowned German engineer Hermann Tilke, but is similar to those he projected for Austin, in the U.S, and Spielberg, in Austria.
Tamas Rohonyi, who's been Brazilian GP promoter for 38 years, including the decade in Rio, believes Sao Paulo is "unbeatable" in the dispute.
He admits any city has the right to bid to host the F1 race, but says there hasn't been any decisive action to build a viable track in Rio.
Sao Paulo Gov. João Doria was less diplomatic.
"I don't want to be rude, but I very gently recommend: visit Deodoro. Fly over it. You can't get there. There are no roads, just go by horse. Make a visit, rent a helicopter, a drone. There is no access, no energy, no basic sanitation," he said in June.
Rio's deputy governor Cláudio Castro hit back.
"Doria doesn't come to Rio often. It seems he never used our Transolympic road (built for the 2016 Olympics). He needs to get better informed, see Brazil outside Sao Paulo," Castro said.
As the two cities squabble, one factor that may help determine Brazilian F1's future has nothing to do with each city's unique allure: a racing tax.
Only the Brazilian and Monaco GPs do not pay Liberty Media between 20 million and 70 million US dollars per season.
The new F1 CEO, Chase Carey, reportedly wants to change that.
Carey's last public comments on Rio's challenge were made in June during a visit to Brazil.
He said he was "talking to Rio and Sao Paulo to find the best solution for the continuation of the Brazilian Grand Prix."
Anxious local politicians and F1 fans expect to hear from him again after Friday.
