One should learn from Mahesh Babu

Share
kr
New kid on the Tollywood block Krishna Madhav Valleru is keeping his fingers crossed as his debut film Hrudayam Ekkadunnadi is hitting screens Tomorrow (March 15). Krishna happens to be nephew of Superstar Mahesh Babu and cousin of business tycoon-turned-politician Galla Jayadev (Guntur MP candidate of TDP).

When did acting bug bit you?
I think acting bug has smitten me in my childhood. Since my early days, I’ve been fascinated in two things- Cricket, movies. My goal was to play with Sachin and hence played cricket for under 14, 16 and 19. But after considering that Cricket was my cup of tea, I decided to become actor.

What’s your educational background. Have you done any acting course?
I’ve done masters in United States in Computer Science. During that time, I underwent 3 months special coaching in Chicago Second City acting school. It helped me to understand global standards of acting and broadened my horizons.

Tell us about your family.
My father works as manager with a government firm whereas my mom is homemaker. I have two elder sisters. I’m the youngest one. Ms Galla Aruna Kumari is my paternal aunt and Mr Galla Jayadev is my cousin and so close to my heart. I’m related to Superstar Mahesh Babu and he is true hero to me. My family has been a great support to me.

What’s your idea of filmmaking?
Since I assisted star directors Trivikram Srinivas (for Khaleja) and Sreenu Vytla (for Dookudu), my idea on filmmaking has been greatly influenced by them. I was little jitters on set when I first saw Trivikram sir. Though I assisted them, my passion has been acting and wanted to see myself on 70 MM.

How did Hrudayam Ekkadundi happen to you?

Director V.I Anand, associate of A.R Murugadoss, is common friend of mine and  he narrated a youthful subject to me which impressed me in the first narration. That’s how the film happen. It’s a youthful entertainer with a fantasy element.

Could you recall any memorable experiences while shooting for the film?
The most difficult yet memorable experience was shooting part of film. Since we have dates conflict with senior actors, we had to shoot for 24-hour-long at a stretch without taking break. I was tired a lot but I enjoyed it thoroughly.

What did you learn from Mahesh?

Mahesh is very committed and disciplined actor. One should learn from him. He encouraged me a lot and came to the audio release function. I cherish it for the rest of my life. He is my role model and true inspiration.

Are you bundle of nerves as your film is releasing Tomorrow?

No, not at all. I’m eagerly looking forward to the film’s release. I’m quite confident that people would appreciate my efforts. I’m sure Telugu audiences encourage new talent.

New twist in Pawan’s Jana Sena

paw

Finally, the much-anticipated Friday has come. And all eyes on First day First show of Jana Sena Party. Here is the latest twist in Pawan Kalyan’s Jana Sena Party. The big news got broke out.According to highly-placed sources, Pawan Kalyan is not targeting 2014 elections. He is getting ready for 2019 elections and want to build his party Jana Sena aspiring for next term. Contrary to reports, Jana Sena is not electoral political party, it’s Revolutionary Party (Udyama Party). “Pawan is in no hurry to come to power. His objective is to question the Governments. Jana Sena will fight for people till 2019. It’s going to be Udyama Party (Revolutionary Party) in both Seemandhra and Telangana. That’s why Pawan met Gaddar and held deliberations,” confided top source.

What’s more? No one from Jana Sena may contest this elections. Pawan may support few independent candidates (like PVP, Ali) and may campaign for them. Coming to Pawan Kalyan, he is yet to take a call on whether he is going to contest as an independent (proposed constituencies are Malkajgiri Parliament and Kakinanda Assembly) or not. “Nothing has been finalized now. Pawan will decide gauging the response he got after announcing his political views,” added the source.

It is learnt that Pawan is just going to release the book he has written on politics and talk about people and governance at length. He is ready to join forces with like-minded people, leaders who are willing to join Jana Sena and fight against all the odds of Common Man. That’s Pawan Kalyan’s Jana Sena poll strategy and new twist in it!

Mega hero’s Donkey satire on whom?

Share
va
Mega hero Varun Tej seems to have courted fresh controversy. He shared a picture on his twitter wall, which raised many eyebrows. His timing of the share just a day before baabai Pawan announcing his political plans is something we should watch about.

Varun Tej shared a picture of the famous ‘couple and their donkey’ story-board that comments on present day society. Whether you use a donkey together, you don’t use it, or you give it to your wife, or you use it without your wife, people are going to take a dig at it. Of course, that is a known satire on the society, but with Varun Tej sharing it at this juncture is giving raise to doubts if he commented about Pawan’s political entry. Some read it that whatever way Pawan sets his political plans, society’s rhetoric will be critical only. And some analysts felt that Varun Tej commented on his own dad’s comment that he and mega fans will sail with Chiru only.

Reacting on all these analyses, Varun Tej quickly came up with clarity that he is not throwing satires at present political situation in Andhra Pradesh. But he has once again quipped about people saying that ‘netigens’ are behaving exactly the way that picture says again. What is your intention Varun? What are you trying to say?

Posani reacts on Pawan’s Party

posani
Actor-writer Posani Krishna Murali is one man who never minces his words. With Pawan Kalyan floating Jana Sena party and becoming hot topic, Posani was quick to react. Posani said, “I welcome Pawan Kalyan’s political party. Everyone who launches a political party is welcome as they’re coming to serve us (people). ‘N’ number of political parties may come as as they may fight against corruption and various public issues. But at the end of the day, people will take their own call. Pawan is most welcome. But I’m not going to join any political party. I will be a wise voter and vote for the party of my choice.”

Posani was recently seen in Pawan Kalyan’s blockbuster Atharintiki rnDaaredi and said to be close to Pawan. There were rumours that Posani rnwould join Jana Sena. Now, Posani has cleared the air. Posani earlier contested for Legislative Assembly in Chilakalurpet on PRP ticket but lost. Posani apparently didn’t spend a Rupee or distribute liquor for votes. He was noted for his comments on rivals during elections.

Mega brothers divided !

Ending years of speculations, finally the alleged division between Mega brothers is turning out to be true as rift between Chiranjeevi and his younger brother Pawan Kalyan is growing wider day-by-day. And the division within Mega clan is conspicuously visible as youngest brother Pawan Kalyan is coming out of Mega radar and going to float his own political outfit (Election Commission confirmed the news). The latest video statement of Naga Babu, younger brother of Chiranjeevi and elder brother of Pawan Kalyan, says that all. Naga Babu said that he is with his Big brother Chiranjeevi by hook or crook and asked all the fans to follow this. This is not just adding fuel to reports that there is rift within Mega family but publicly confirming “division” between brothers.

Senior political analyst pointed out, “Naga Babu’s speech a day ahead of Pawan’s public meeting is nothing but a ‘cheap-trick’ to dissolve Chiru’s fans from Pawan’s fans and give straight orders to former on not to attend Pawan’s public meeting Tomorrow. One could easily figure out that Naga Babu stated this at the behest of Chiranjeevi. Rather than, they should wait what Pawan say about politics in his speech. This is too early and premature attempt by Mega brothers Chiranjeevi and Naga Babu. They should have welcome Pawan Kalyan as everybody has right to express their views and take political sides notwithstanding caste, creed, religion, region and family bonding in democratic nation.”

Strong reports have been surfaced ever since Chiru merged PRP with Congress (Feb 6, 2011 i.e. exactly 30 months after the party launch). Chiranjeevi is to be blamed for merging the party without proper consultations with his party men and his own brother Pawan Kalyan. That has lead to sprouting of new political party in Andhra Pradesh- Jana Sena.

Pawan Kalyan’s recent speech during Atharintiki Thanks Giving function too speaks volumes. Pawan directly stated, “I don’t even like to utter the word Mega family. I think there is space for everyone in film industry.” This clearly shows that the ideology of Pawan is way ahead than Chiru. Pawan Kalyan’s broad-mindedness is totally contrary to narrow-minded attitude and insecurity that is usually seen among Tollywood stars.

Differences with Chiranjeevi will only further favour Pawan Kalyan now as Chiru is a beleaguered leader in Seemandhra and his image took severe beating after he stepped into politics. It’s better late than never. At least now, Chiranjeevi and Naga Babu should initiate a dialogue with Pawan and should support Pawan’s acts as a family member. Anyway, people will take their own call in coming elections.

Balayya to shake Facebook, YouTube

The stunning hero could be reached at “fb.com/NandamuriBalakrishna” and he already posted his first video to enthrall fans.

Among the likes of Balayya’s contemporaries like Chiru, Venky and Nag, we have only Nagarjuna using twitter occasionally and rest are pretty much unavailable to fans on any social circuit. Let’s welcome Balakrishna into social circuits folks!

Jana Sena Logo Controversy

Share

Pawan Kalyan’s team had officially released the emblem and flag of the to be launched Jana Sena party. Pawan Kalyan had also sent in a press note explaining the significance of the emblem and flag. However, there seem to be a controversy erupting regarding the emblem of the party. The emblem resembles Sri Chakra of Goddess Lalita Devi.

Constitution clearly states that religious symbols can not be used for Political parties as there is a danger of voters getting lured in the name of religion. There are several instances in the past Election commission rejecting emblems and publicity material resembling religious symbols.
We are told that few social activists are planning to go to court once the party is announced. On the other side, elaborate arrangements are being made for Pawan Kalyan’s first address tomorrow at HICC, Novotel Hotel, Hyderabad. The organizers have also arranged for LED screens at selected places to live telecast Pawan Kalyan’s speech.

Pawan target of People Elaborated in Jana Sena Song?

Share

The celebrations have been started among Pawan Kalyan fans before the official announcement about his political entry which was scheduled to announce officially on tomorrow @ 6: 30 PM at HICC, Hotel Novotel, Hyderabad. Few minutes back released the party flag and party song creating sensation on net. The song and flag was not officially released by Pawan Kalyan party members, where the flag was posted on facebook page and song was leaked by popular Telugu news channel.

With hours of uploading the song it acquired more than 50000 clicks in first few hours and response from the Pawan fans is extraordinary. Janasena Song is creating a revolutionary feel among the pawan fans especially in youth. Songs signifies an Communist ideological thoughts which indirectly remembers many ideological revolutionists Che Guevera, Sri Sri, Jiddu Krishnamurti..Etc The flag also almost similar to avant-garde country ‘Israel’. Within few hours of song release many buzzes started spreading that this Jana Sena song is penned by one of Pawan Kalyan’s best friend director Trivikram.
It is an open secret that Trivikram is one of active members in Pawan’s political party and he is taking care in party activities from tip to toe. We don’t know who was involved behind the song penning but the songs clearly show the target of people to whom Pawan targeted. Yes, Pawan completely focused on Youth to change the current worst politics and he tried to incorporate party slogan “Not for Power Only to Question” in the song. Anyway what might be his intension but one thing that song clearly said that the party name is “Jana Sena”.  Let us wait and see will this new Jana Sena create new era of politics in our state or not!!! Time will decide!!!

Lagadapati’s secret fielding?

Share

Former Vijayawada MP and the Pitchi Pepper Spray(PPS) Lagadapati Rajagopal who earlier announced political sanyasam is now reportedly getting ready to field his own nominees in the upcoming municipal polls. Sources say that Rajagopal is in talks with his followers as well as second-ring leaders of the Congress in Vijayawada Municipal Corporation and other municipal towns in the Krishna district for this purpose.

Despite pressure from former CM Kiran and his followers, Rajagopal stuck to his retirement plan now he is believed to be considering municipal elections as a litmus test of his strength and has is hence negotiating with local leaders so that they can contest as independents.
He is also reportedly promising Congress leaders to fund their election campaign and also in getting a uniform symbol to all such independents. At the same time other Congress legislators like Malladi Vishnu, Vellampalli Srinivas, Y Ravi and former minister Devineni Nehru all seem to be happy now that he has left Congress and they need not bear his maverick ways.

He is the ‘Ring Master’ of Pawan Kalyan!

Share

Pawan Kalyan is a changed man now. He has been making more public appearances and interacting with media better than before. He also made up his mind and took the biggest decision of his life by launching his own political party. Although Pawan has many ideas to serve people, he never took that big leap till now.

Who are the people behind Pawan Kalyan’s confidence? We all know that Trivikram is playing vital role in Pawan’s decision making. But the confidence he got is from another man. He is none other than Narasimhan, an astrologer, who has won the trust of Pawan Kalyan. He is the one who advised Pawan Kalyan to launch a party it seems.

Pawan Kalyan madly respects Narasimhan as he had foreseen many things in Pawan’s life. Did you see Pawan taking the blessings of an elderly person at the launch of Attarintiki Daredi. He is Mr. Narasimhan we are talking about. He told Pawan that this is the right time to enter politics and hence Pawan is launching his party despite the uncertainty in current political arena.

Ram Charan hits jackpot

Share

Ram Charan has been facing problems with hot shot directors at the moment. He is working with Krishna Vamsi, who is completely out of form and has signed up a movie with Boyapati Srinu, although he is not ready to take up a mass movie immediately. With all the top directors busy with other commitments, Ram Charan is settling with what he gets.

Here is good news for Ram Charan as star filmmaker Murugadoss has one script ready for him. Murugadoss hasn’t yet narrated the script to Ram Charan, but he said that he has one script that will suit him. Allu Aravind has been planning to make a film in this combination. If Charan likes Murugadoss script, then it will go onto floors very soon.

Murugadoss has another storyline that will suit Mahesh Babu. He is waiting for the right time to narrate it to Mahesh. If Mahesh likes it Murugadoss wants it to make it in Telugu and Tamil. Currently Murugadoss is busy with Akshay Kumar-starrer Holiday (Tupaki remake) promotions. He has another film lined up with Tamil superstar Vijay.

No invitations to Chiru, Charan Sena !

pawan
The biggest fear of mega fans is coming true as the fan base of mega heroes is going to be ‘politically’ separated. Fans feared of divide among themselves when they first came to know about the news of Pawan Kalyan floating a new political party. With Chiranjeevi still in Congress, fans didn’t want Pawan to come up with his own party.However, Pawan Kalyan is launching Jana Sena party and problems from mega fans have already surfaced. Pawan Kalyan didn’t send invitations or made calls to Chiranjeevi and Charan fans associations to attend the March 14th meeting. Only Pawan Kalyan’s fans associations got invitations and Chiru-Charan fans associations are fuming over this.

Although divided by parties, Pawan Kalyan cannot ignore Chiranjeevi fans as they played vital role in his growth as a superstar. Chiranjeevi fans still support Pawan Kalyan and love him. But the star himself ignoring them is hurting them a lot. This will not only affect Pawan’s party but also his future films. Pawan should have been diplomatic with fans as sentiments are involved in this.

Can Pawan beat Chiru’s vote share?

Share

chiru

More than political circles, it is industry bigwigs who are showing more interest in discussing about Pawan’s  political ‘Aarangetram’. First they want to see whether, Pawan will supersede his star brother Chiranjeevi by bagging more than 18% of votes share (78 lac-plus votes) and then could surpass the 18 seats, his brother won, to stay ahead in the family race.

Chiranjeevi’s charisma (when he stepped into politics) was relatively higher compared to Pawan Kalyan (Pawan’s present popularity), as even many of Pawan’s fans are not convinced with his decision to jump into political bandwagon. Yet still Pawan could impress a section of voters and it’s too early to predict whether he could be a kingmaker or not.

Of course, Pawan is going to have stiff competition from existing traditional parties in twin states (since TDP, YSRC, TRS, Jai Samaikyandhra Party are way ahead at this moment) what would be his ‘vote share’ in quadrangular contest, to determine his connect with voters, beyond his fans and well-wishers. Will it be 15 or 20% of 5 crore voters? This is definitely a million-dollar question as of now which will be answered only by people. We have to wait and see.

 

Prabhas Has Chance to Become No 1 Hero in Tollywood

Share

Untitled

After Attarintiki Daredhi box office bumper hit Pawan Kalyan has taken No:1 position in Tollywood. Mahesh and Jr.NTR are in the next 2 positions after Pawan in Tollywood film industry. As Jr.NTR success so low, he lost his position due to series of flops. On the other hand, Prabhas have got rave views with the film Mirchi and now he is currently busy with Bahubali.

In fact, “Bahubali” may take Prabhas to No.1 position in Tollywood. Frankly speaking, Prabhas may even cross Pawan’s image with “Bahubali”. Hence, the future competition in Tollywood may be concentrated between Mahesh and Prabhas. If Pawan is in the arena, we can expect Prabhas to share the No.1 position with Pawan as Mahesh lost a part of his fame due to “One” talk.

But as Pawan is shifting his base to politics, Mahesh may share No.1 position with Prabhas in near future

Top Director’s satire on Pawan Kalyan?

Share

Even section of die-hard Pawan Kalyan fans are not in support of Pawan Kalyan’s Jana Sena Party. But one ace director’s ‘overdose’ praises on Power Star are subject of discussion in film and political circles. The director in question is Ram Gopal Varma.

RGV is singing peans about Pawan’s party on his Twitter page where he claimed that Pawan’s party name is the ‘best name’ and 1000 times better than Shiv Sena (a legendary party in Maharasthra). Now Varma’s comments have become hot topic. Many are still doubting about Varma’s ‘real’ intentions behind his ‘praises’.

Even director’s and producers who worked with Pawan aren’t coming out openly, but RGV who had no connection with Mega family (barring few days of shooting with Chiru), is going ga-ga over Pawan and announce him the best leader in Andhra Pradesh.

Is he sarcastic or trying to praise Pawan to make Pawan’s humongous fan base as his fan base given that his two-decade old career as a director is not happening and high time for him to hang up his boots. Let’s wait and watch. Time will tell everything.
