Danam Blast on Anam for criticising YSR
Labour Minister Danam nagender on Sunday condemned Finance Minister Anam Ramnarayana Reddy for criticising former Chief Minister Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy.
Stating that YSR was the favourite leader of Congress party, Danam said that it inappropriate to individually blame YSR or any minister for the collective decisions of the cabinet. He said it was incorrect to judge them on individual basis while they took the decisions after discussing the matter in the State cabinet.
Talking to reporters here, Danam described former minister Mopidevi Venkataramana as a victim of circumstances. Further, he said that there was no need for Home Minister P Sabitha Indira Reddy to resign from her post following inclusion of her name as an accused in the Disproportionate Assets case of Jagan Mohan Reddy. However, he admitted that the CBI chargesheet has damaged the image of the government and Congress party.
Chiru steps in tourism meet
Union minister of state for Tourism, Chiranjeevi was the special attraction at the World Tourism meet on Saturday.
A special dinner and entertainment was organized for the foreign delegates at the Shilparamam. Disciples of Padmaja Reddy performed classical dance, while other folk forms like Chindu, Yaksha Ganam, Thappeta and others attracted the audience. When students of the Bhimavaram college performed feats with skipping ropes, Chiranjeevi went on to the stage at the request of the students and danced for a while with them. All those present, including the foreign delegates were enthralled at Chiranjeevi enthusing the artistes by joining them.
Speaking later, Chiranjeevi said it was laudable that young girls and boys were also showing interest in traditional arts apart from education. Several ministers also participated in the programme.
BSN guards ministers
Andhra Pradesh state Congress chief Botsa Satyanarayana Sunday defended ministers facing charges in YSR Congress party leader Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy’s disproportionate assets case. He said that ministers in Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy’s (YSR) cabinet acted on the late chief minister’s directions and claimed they had nothing to do with the “dealings” behind such decisions.
Botsa, who is also minister for transport, was talking to reporters in the temple town of Tirupati.He said while the then cabinet was collectively responsible for the decisions taken, they neither had knowledge of the real beneficiaries of the decisions nor were connected to the “deals”.
The agency last week filed a chargesheet naming state Home Minister Sabitha Indra Reddy as an accused. As the minister of mines and geology in YSR’s cabinet, she had signed an order allotting limestone mines to a cement company which had invested in Jaganmohan’s business. With some more ministers of Kiran Kumar Reddy’s cabinet are also facing a probe for the controversial orders issued by them during YSR’s tenure, the ruling Congress party is going all out to defend them.
With the main opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP) mounting pressure on all “tainted” ministers to quit, the government is trying to give a clean chit to them on the grounds that they acted in accordance with the rules and had no knowledge of who were the real beneficiaries of the decisions.
Finance Minister Anam Ramnarayan Reddy had said Friday: “If there is a provision in law for capital punishment for corruption, no one deserves it better than Jaganmohan.”
Is Samantha Pawan’s Combination Clicks!
Dusky beauty samantha is doing the female lead of Power Star Pawan and ace director Trivikram’s untitled movie. The regular shooting of the movie is going on at a brisk pace. Buzz is that samantha has reportedly been selected as the heroine of Pawan Kalyan’s next film ‘Gabbar2’, to be directed by young director Sampath Nandi. Earlier, Renu Desai got the opportunity to have acted in two films with Pawan Kalyan. However, there is no confirmation of this news from the makers yet.
‘Rachcha’ director Sampath Nandi will direct this movie while Sharat Marar will be producing it. On the other hand, Pawan Kalyan’s upcoming film’s shoot in the direction of Trivikram is going on in a rapid pace. Devi Sri Prasad is scoring the music of this family and comedy entertainer. samantha and Pranitha will romance with Pawan Kalyan in this movie.
Mega Family have Mega support
Producer Prakashraj might have rightly sensed the advantage of providing a debut platform for allu sirish through ‘Gouravam.’ Yes, any of the films arriving from Mega family will have complete support from Mega Fans and more than all, heroes from this family can be thoroughly used for promotion. With presence of Ramcharan at ‘Gouravam’ trailer release, there was huge media attention and now as the movie is nearing for release, we hear on Sirish and director Radha Mohan designing innovative promotional plans to take the movie deep into audience.
For a non-commercial subject, applause from Telugu audience is always less than that of Tamil. If ‘Gouravam’ is strong enough in subject and execution, Tamil version will be a default hit. So, Sirish has to concentrate more on Telugu because he needs to prove the caliber in his own land. Let us see, how will Cherry, Bunny, Power Star, Mega Star and others in the family support him.
Is Krish with Mahesh Babu,
If ‘Vedam’ and ‘Gamyam’ stood as solid hits, credit should go to intellectual thinktank behind these films that is director Krish. Without traveling on beaten lines, those men who think with novelty and strive for betterness in standards of Telugu films will obviously get their share of recognition. So is Krish’s ‘Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum’ which pleased a section of critics and also regular movie buffs with new screenplay and treatment attempted on a regular commercial formula of revenge storyline.
Later on media spoke high about Krish’s ‘shivam’ with Mahesh Babu, yet again something new. All of the sudden, buzz around this project is completely swallowed and people started to discuss on ‘Aagadu’ of Mahesh Babu with Srinu Vytla to begin. Is Krish still in touch with Mahesh and how far Aswini Dutt of Vyjayanti Movies ready to risk on ‘shivam’?
It Baskets nearly 6 Lakh in 48 hours for….on….
After Rajinikanth, one man who is proving to be the best among top heroes of Kollywood is Vijay. With immense mass and youth following, he recently breached Rs.100 Crore mark with ‘Thuppakki’ of AR Murugadoss, an astonishing action flick. Yet again Vijay is ready to shake the records with ‘thalaivaa’ in the direction of AL Vijay of ‘Madarasipattanam’ and ‘Nanna’ fame.
The first look promo of movie is released recently and Vijay is trending on Youtube basking on nearly 6 Lakh hits in 48 hours. This is a record of sorts because ‘thalaivaa’ promo has nothing extraordinary like the style and substance what see in other teasers (example of ‘Iddaru Ammayilatho’). Sources say, it is simply the star power of Vijay which can rule the roost and ‘thalaivaa’ is doing it. Unfortunately, Ilayathalapathy’s attempts to gain some ground in Andhra Pradesh are proving futile.

Is Any one Missing at Records?
There is a big relief for Nandamuri Fans because junior ntr’s long wait for a blockbuster hit has come into reality with ‘Baadshah.’ This is a dream period for Tollywood where we do not have any of our young star heroes remaining out of form. All the way from Pawan Kalyan to Allu Arjun, we are seeing each of our youngsters building a strong fort at BO with their respective style of films.
If it is ‘Gabbar Singh’ for Pawan Kalyan, there are ‘Dookudu, Businessman, SVSC’ made Mahesh Babu evolve as best followed by ‘Rachcha, Naayak’ for Ramcharan, ‘Mirchi’ for Prabhas, ‘Julaayi’ for Allu Arjun and now ‘Baadshah’ for Jr NTR. These are the few promising names who have strong mass following and capable of turning even average flicks into big BO hits. Well, Tollywood is hard to beat now and is rightly posing a challenge to best Indian records. Do we miss any more of our stars at BO?
