Having been forced towards shuddering halt by Cyclone Hudhud during a full production cycle, the prestigious Visakhapatnam Steel Plant of Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Ltd is expected to take at least three to six months for getting back into action. 
There are alarming reports that the plant should be fired soon enough because in case if it is not done, then nearly 2,000 tonnes of carbon monoxide gas, used in the coke oven batteries as well as the blast furnace, would be leaking out, resulting in a major threat to life. RINL management is being blamed squarely for the current state of affairs as it had kept the plant running in full blast on Sunday morning despite the cyclone and prior warnings by the state government and district administration for minimizing its operations.
VSP is expected to face losses to the tune of Rs 5000 crore to Rs 10,000 crore since the plant was operating at full capacity and when APSEB switched off power at 8 AM, the plan suffered a trip due to the high production load and also due to the fact that power supply wasn’t revived after that.

Big Break for Tollywood, 250 Crore at Stake

Share
This is perhaps the biggest break for Telugu Film Industry in recent times. The ongoing tussle between Telugu Film Federation Employee Union (TFFEU) and Telugu Film Producers continues and intensifies. While there are no shootings for the past one week, TFFEU on Sunday issued a fresh notice to producers stating that film shootings should not be held from Monday (today). TFFEU also appealed to film actors to support their cause as they’re battling for the hike in wages of film workers working in various crafts. Although proudcers are ready to raise 10% of wages, TFFEU is not in a mood to agree and give up its bandh call. It’s been pestering its demand of 35% hike in wages. “The hike was supposed to be implemented from May but it wasn’t, leaving us with no choice but to call for a strike,” shared a member of TFFEU. 
With the bandh call by TFFEU, shootings of all big-ticket films have already come to a grinding halt for the past one week. Trvikram-Allu Arjun’s film, NTR-Puri Jagannadh’s film, Pawan Kalyan-Venkatesh’s Gopala Gopala and several other films have been stuck. Fresh shooting schedules have to be reworked, producers need to take new call sheets from heroines and so permissions for the outdoor shooting spots. Delay in the shootings are costing a bomb to producers as the interests by financiers are bound to increase drastically. 
Although Baahubali has been allowed to shoot last week with special permission, TFFEU said it’s going to make fresh appeal to the unit of Baahubali to stop the shooting from Monday. TFFEU is firm on halting the film shoots until their demands are met. With this, over Rs 250 Crore is at stake. The loss will be minimized only if Producers Council step up its action and end the deadlock with a logical conclusion. Till then, the loggerheads between TFFEU and producers continues and it disrupts the shootings. Perhaps, this is the biggest break for Tollywood of late.

Has Charan Okayed Kona Venkat’s Deal?

Share
What is going through Ram Charan’s mind at the moment when it comes to his next film? Earlier he indicated about a possible break for two months as he isn’t convinced about any script. Still Charan holds onto that decision, or did he change mind to sign Kona Venkat’s deal? That’s the big question. 
Long back, writer Kona Venkat revealed that he has narrated a story to Mega Powerstar Ram Charan, the box-office spinner who could unleash 40+ crores with average rated content. At that time, Kona stated that he reveal about director and other details very soon. Rumors now indicate that Srivaas (Lakshyam, Loukyam fame) is roped in to direct Charan for this regular commercial masala pot-boiler. In order to relieve himself from the emotional jerk from Govindudu Andarivadele, our mega hero wants to pick a simple commercial flick first. Maybe Kona Venkat’s story and Srivas’ direction will surely help him with that. Let us see.
