Kiran Kumar Reddy diverted funds to seemandhra

Share

Government Chief Whip Gandra Venkataramana Reddy led a joint attack on both Kiran Kumar Reddy and TDP Chief Nara Chandrababu Naidu for playing with people of Andhra Pradesh. Primarily, Gandra accused Kiran Reddy for funds diversion to Seemandhra districts showing his anti Telangana cover. He produced a copy of GO No 170 showing the diversion of Special Development Funds (SDF).

“Of the total Rs.11, 102 Lakh SDFs, Kiran has sent Rs.9, 733 to 13 Seemandhra districts leaving a meager Rs.1, 369 Lakh to 10 districts of Telangana. In Telangana, maximum funds were flown to Jagga Reddy consitutency who supported United Andhra movement,” Gandra accused.

Attacking Naidu he said, “TDP Chief did not participate in the debate on Telangana Bill in the Assembly. However, he made several statements outside the House to incite people over statehood issue. He is using the situation to mislead people for rebuilding his shattered political image. For this, Naidu should tender an unconditional apology for Semeemandhra people. I assure Seemandhra brothers for the safety of lives and properties in Telangana State. They will always be safe and protected.”

Not the end of agitations, but another beginning..!

Share

Former minister T.G. Venkatesh has warned that bifurcation of the state is not going to see the end of agitations, but it spells the beginning of new agitations. Venkatesh demanded that the new capital of residual Andhra Pradesh shall be located in Rayala Seema region, otherwise there will be another movement for separate state of Rayala Seema.

The grouse of Rayala Seema people has been that in the interest of integrated Andhra Pradesh, they had to lose Kurnool as capital in 1956. Venkatesh has also made it clear that his continuation in Congress has become untenable.  He will soon announce which party he will be joining.

Venkatesh has an ally in his own district of Kurnool, in Byreddy Rajasekhar Reddy who is heading a party that aims at creating a separate state of Rayala Seema. Byreddy in fact, has announced that he will field candidates from his party in all Assembly and Lok Sabha seats in Seema.

Tollywood shifting its base?

Share

With Telangana formation is imminent, focus is now shifted to what’s going to happen next? Naturally, all eyes are on Telugu film industry which is the first industry to make its move after the formation of Andhra Pradesh from Chennai 58 years ago. We hear that majority of the Telugu film industry personalities, who hail from Seemandhra, have really no issues with the formation of Telangana. Yet there are wide apprehensions among them about their safety, progress and security in Telangana State despite promises given by several Telangana leaders, activists. At the same time what is luring them is “major tax exemptions” in successor state of AP as Centre declared “Special State” status to it. (Although no clarity is given on this front like what are the tax beneficiaries to industries).

Hence, Tinsel town is abuzz with the news of shifting its base from Hyderabad. Going by our sources, the Telugu film industry is seriously contemplating to move and establish its start-up in residuary state of Andhra Pradesh. This may not happen overnight but in coming ten years (in which Hyderabad is common capital), T-town may move slowly. And two cities in successor AP state are in fray for the film destination. While one being Visakhapatnam which has been in news for a while and the other one is Tirupati. Compared to Tirupati, Vizag has beach locales, spacious locations, roads, development and already Studios like Ramanaidu have set up there. But what is working against Vizag is that geographically it’s far away from Chennai where all post-production labs, recording theatres, music and shooting studios are present.

With this, Temple city Tirupati’s name popped up very recently. Given that Tirupati’s proximity to Chennai and Renigunta airport, few Tollywood big personalities are contemplating to move to Tirupati so that major work could be carried out in Chennai. We also hear that Tollywood is being invited by Chennai industry to come back. Though, T-town may not go back to Chennai, but they’re planning to depend on Chennai for time being until new infrastructure is developed here. Music directors like Thaman and Devi Sri Prasad are already working from Chennai as they have own studios there. As of now, suspense is continuing over what is T-town’s next destination. Stay tuned to us.

By this time, you might have understood already that the muhurat shot of Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Gabbar Singh 2’ happened today. Putting full stop to all other rumours in circulation about this project, the makers have given a strong statement that Pawan is not retracting from his plan.

Finally it is heard that Pawan Kalyan has given nod for the script written by director Sampath Nandi. We have to really appreciate this Racha director for waiting for 3 long years to make his dream of directing Pawan come true. Though ‘Gabbar Singh 2’ is the official project our hero is acting at the moment, bitter news is that shooting of this flick is not going to start any moment now. Regular shooting of GS2 will commence from May and will be released as a Dasara treat.

As usual, Devi Sri Prasad will continue his magic for Gabbar Singh and Jayanan Vincent is handling cinematography.

Seemandhra should rise like Japan!

Share

Well after bifurcation is complete, it looks like the time has come for practical business with the leaders Samaikhyandhra Joint Action Committee (JAC) giving a call that the time has come to develop Seemandhra as a role model for other Indian States. JAC chairman Lavu Rattaiah expressed his appreciations to students, employees, businessmen, women’s associations and other political parties who fought united to retain AP.

There is now a thinking going on that the public should select the right persons who can fight to get new industries, education and research institutions, infrastructure courts, and other facilities for Seemandhra region for all-round development. While terming that it was unfortunate that the Central government had ignored the agitations and went ahead with carving out a separate State.
Seemandhra JAC convener Samuel said that though bifurcation was politically motivated, the people of Telangana and Seemandhra can never be separated mentally. This follows calls by AP NGOs President Ashok Babu that just like how Japan rised like a phoenix after being dropped nuclear bombs in 1945, Seemandhra should and will rise like Japan, out of ashes

Aaha Kalyanam Movie Review

Band Baaja Barat, a Bollywood hit has been remade in Tamil with Nani and Vani in Tamil and dubbed in Telugu as Aaha Kalyanam.

Story

Shruti (Vaani Kapoor) is a college girl who pre-plans her life and is ambitious to turn a wedding planner. She meets up with Shakti (Nani) a happy-go-lucky guy who has no aim in life, in an event. Shakti joins her as partner and the two establish a wedding planning business. For Shruti, finance and romance cane never intermixed and thus they form few rules. After slowly finding success in their business by working together, the two fall for each other. But the two spoil their relationship with ego clashes. What happens next forms the rest of the story.

Performances

Nani has done an entertaining role as Shakti stepping into the shoes of Ranveer Singh. His way of speaking English and mannerisms with apt comedy timing will entertain.

Vani Kapoor is naturally beautiful and she did her role well. Her chemistry with Nani was good on watch. Simran does a cameo. Other supporting cast are okay.

Technical Analysis

Dharan Kumar musical scores aren’t pleasing and the lyrics are equally bad. However, they are shot well. Cinematography is colorful and impressive while the editing is decent. Director Gokul Krishna, who made his debut stuck to the original versions except for very few changes that suits Tamil audiences taste. Yash Raj films production values are rich.

Analysis

Aaha Kalyanam is the loyal remake of Band Baaja Baarat for its content. Director Gokul Krishna played safe game without major changes to the script except it to suit Tamil audiences taste. Being a dubbed version and too much of Tamil flavor sans lip sync, Telugu audiences may not experience the magic of Band Baaja Baraat. Audiences who are fan of BBB movie, may not like Aaha Kalyanam for its energy and verve missing.

While the first half has some interesting moments, the second half moves on predictable lines lacking emotional depth. Also, the entire film is of Tamil flavor including none of the Telugu popular supporting cast and it can be felt throughout the movie. Aaha Kalyanam can be watched for the lead cast performances, the romantic movements and colorfully pictured songs.

Final Verdict

A decent one time watch, provided u don’t mind too much of Tamil nativity.

How dare Sonia is to split AP?: Ex-Hero

Share

‘AP was bifurcated just on emotion but not any real cause’, charged former hero and present character artist Suresh. Taking a strong exception to the way AP is split, and how people blindly invested in Hyderabad like a sheep, Suresh breathed fire literally.

Criticizing the timing of passing the bifurcation bill, Suresh said ‘Telangana is not given when people are dead, when people agitated, when students came on roads. But it is sanctioned when 2014 elections are just a month ahead’. He feels that these politicians have done a blunder by splitting state without announcing vision for development. ‘If you are really a statesman, you would have laid a road map for development and announced the future capital, source of finances’, he stressed.

Breathing fire on Sonia Gandhi’s Delhi centric ruling that is hampering India’s whole integrity, Suresh says she never understood what is being Indian. ‘Sonia Gandhi never visited AP, and never could she understand the personal emotions of Telugu people. How dare she is to split Andhra Pradesh by sitting in Delhi?’, asked former hero Suresh.

‘To come into power you should be a politician. But to continue in power and rule, you should be a statesman’, he says, asking people to chose better leader for in coming elections rather selling votes for money.

‘If a rape is inevitable, lie back and enjoy it. Today this bifurcation is inevitable, so enjoy it, and work for development’, he concluded, naming Narendra Modi and Chandrababu are best options among the present lot to elect.
