Heroine files complaint against Director

Share

Nazriya Nazim (Arya & Nayantara’s Raja Rani fame) who is the second heroine in NTR-Samantha-Santosh Srinivas untitled film has lodged a complaint against Sarkunam, the director of her film ‘Naiyaandi’, for using a body double to shoot some skin show and intimate scenes without her knowledge.

On Tuesday, the actress went to Chennai police commissioner’s office to file a complaint against the makers of ‘Naiyaandi’ for allegedly cheating her by using the dupe and refusing to trim those sequences even after she warned them of dire consequences. “I request the team to show me the movie. If not, ‘Naiyaandi’ shouldn’t release since my family & fans has objection on the shot,” demands the beauty.

Nazriya also lodged a complaint with South Indian Film Artistes Association (SIFAA) against director Sarkunam and producer Kathiresan. “I have complained against the producer-director of Naiyaandi to Nadigar Sangam (SIFAA) for cheating. They have used a body double to shoot scenes without my permission. This is against contractual agreements. We will take legal action,” she told.

I may enter Politics: VV Vinayak

Share

Since few years, reports of ace filmmaker VV Vinayak’s political entry have been doing rounds. Many people expected him to make foray into electoral politics in 2009 from Praja Rajyam Party launched by his favorite hero Chiranjeevi, but that didn’t happen due to unknown reasons. With the recent statement of Gudiwada MLA Kodali Nani that Vinayak will be stepping into politics, media began focusing more on the successful director and anticipated an official statement from him in this regard.

However, VV Vinayak wants to wait for few more years to test his luck in politics. “My family has close connections with politics in some way or the other, whether its me or my father or my brother. We move closely with politicians of all the parties. But, I am not keen on joining politics as of now. May be, It will happen in future,” he opined, in a special interview on his birthday (Oct 8th).

The star director revealed he is planning to begin the shoot of Bellamkonda Suresh’s son debut flick from October 20th. He is taking his time to ensure everything about this launching film is perfect.

Vinayak is also planning to make ‘Adurs 2’ with NTR post the shoot of his current film. This combo delivered three back-to-back hits (Aadi, Samba and Adurs) till date.

I don’t like Politics: Big Hero

Share

Every big star who is known to be a crowd puller will be wooed by the political parties in some way or the other as part of their vote bank politics. Kamal Haasan who enjoys a huge following across the country has been repeatedly asked by the leaderships of both regional and national parties to extend his support or join with them. However, the versatile actor is determined not to focus on politics at any point in his life.

To a question on why he is turning down the politics offers since decades, Kamal commented, “I don’t like politics and don’t want to get my hands dirty by foraying into such a field, even though I have friends in all the political parties. In my opinion, each and every voter is a politician in his own way,” he comments.

When asked what was his reaction on the reports of his good friend Rajinikanth entering politics very soon, Kamal refused to comment on it and advised the media to seek such clarifications from the Superstar alone.

Stop Ratings for Movies: Hero to Websites

Share

The ratings in the websites every time a new movie hits the screens will have a huge impact on their revenue generation in Overseas market. NRIs would rely on the sites to check if the money spent on the ticket is worth the content in the movie. Only when they get convinced through the ratings that the film offers them some sort of entertainment they are looking out for, people have been thronging theatres.

Senior Hero Murali Mohan urged all the sites to stop giving ratings for new releases as such analysis were ruining the dreams of makers. “Requesting all websites not to give ratings. It is highly effecting movie collections in Overseas,” appealed the senior actor.

Because of these ratings, Film Industry is loosing good amount of revenue every year and saving the audience from wastage of their hard-earned money. Good content always sets the cash registers ringing no matter how good or bad ratings might be! Better to focus on improving the quality and content of Telugu movies at least from now.

Young Tiger is coming to enthral his fans very soon and here comes a couple of spicy updates about this latest movie.

For the first time ever Jr NTR is going to showcase his moon-walk in a new style for his fans. After legendary Michael Jackson, many admirers of him worldwide have paid tributes to him by walking that way.

In his upcoming Ramayya Vastavayya, in a particular song Junior has shown both moon-walk and another step with a ‘cycle’ to excite his fans. Reports have that the song ‘Pandaga Chesko’ will feature both these new dance steps, of course new by Jr NTR.

Samantha, the 150 crore Queen!

Share

Samantha has emerged like a supernova this year after the success of her high budget films that have reached rare milestones this year. Samantha starred in number 1 and number 2 hits of 2013 so far. Attarintiki Daredi collected Rs. 55 crore share in ten days and is racing ahead to join sixty crore club, which was achieved only by two films (Magadheera and Gabbar Singh) in Tollywood history until now.

Earlier this year Samantha scored a Fifty crore worth blockbuster with Seetamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu. Now she is eying the elite 50 crore club again with Ramayya Vastavayya. Dil Raju, producer of Ramayya confidently says that it will be among the top 3 hits of 2013. Director Harish Shankar is betting big on the film and promising a much awaited blockbuster to NTR fans. If the film lives up to expectations, then joining 50 crore club won’t be a big deal for it.

If Ramayya Vastavayya too join the fifty crore club, then Samantha will be termed as the 150 crore queen of Tollywood. She is already the reigning queen of Telugu cinema and with back to back blockbusters, she is certainly throwing bigger challenges to her competitors. Except for Jabardast and Eto Vellipoyindi Manasu, all her films in the recent past have done very well. Especially all her high budget films are hitting bull’s eye at the box office, thus making her the lady with the Midas touch!

Why is Rajamouli happy with himself ?

Share

Rajamouli is a filmmaker with a vision, who doesn’t jump into finishing scene and films in a jiffy. He is known for spending lot of time on his projects, because he gives the best output. For instance, even for Baahubali, most anticipated project, he spent over a year on pre-production.

The ace filmmaker, for the first time in his career, has completed a scene much earlier than scheduled. He says he is extremely happy about it. Initially, the scene was planned to be shot for five days, but Rajamouli completed it in three days.

Two schedules of the film have already been wrapped up and Rajamouli is hoping to wrap up the film as quickly as possible. All his fans are eagerly waiting for the film, which is being made on a lavish budget.

The film is simultaneously being made in Telugu and Tamil, while it will also be dubbed in Hindi. Rana and Prabhas have already worked extremely hard for the film, specially getting themselves trained action skills such as archery, sword fighting and even horse riding. Anushka too did her fair share of training before coming on the sets.

Former CBI JD to star in films?

Share

Former CBI Joint Director Lakshmi Narayana became real life hero when he started investigating YS.Jagan Mohan Reddy’s disproportionate assets case. Entire national media focused its attention on him running after him for interviews.

Now speculation is on whether Lakshmi Narayana is planning his entry into films. This after he was spotted speaking with director Raghavendra Rao at Annapurna studios. Lakshminarayana attended a film Prabhanjanam opening where he turned on the camera. Even deputy CM Rajanarasimha graced the occasion.

T-Leaders Behind Attack On Botsa

Share

Since last three days Vizayanagaram is burning in the SA agitation. PCC Chief Botsa Satyanarayana becomes target for all the agitators. All of his fixed properties in the town were set ablaze by the agitators. First time curfew clamped by police in Vizayanagaram town. Even after 4 days people can’t control their anger. 144 Section and Shoot at site orders haven’t stopped their revolution.

PCC Chief received very much consolation from opposite side leaders. All Telangana leaders like VH, Ponnam, Komati Reddy and Palwayi were expressed their sympathy towards Botsa. VH and Palwayi have considered that this was the attack of majority community on minorities. Why only Botsa has targeted? Why agitators silent on Jagan and CBN? Botsa too used caste card to win the people.  Komati Reddy and Ponnam predict CM’s hand in the conspiracy against Botsa.

AICC in-charge Digvijay Singh and Ahmad Patel were also felt sorry for the damage of properties of Botsa. No one has come forward from SA to console Botsa. People in Botsa home town believed that he is playing conspiracy role to divide the state.

Sonia shocked with Pallam Raju’s answer!

Share

There are reports that for the first time ever Congress chief Sonia Gandhi has come to know of the gravity of the agitation going on currently in Seemandhra region. It is said that Sonia called the Kakinada MP and Union HRD Minister Pallam Raju to convince him to take back his resignations.

Sonia Gandhi reportedly asked him whether the agitations were spontaneous or whether they were being orchestrated by some vented interests to which Raju reportedly gave a quick reply that the whole agitation is by people themselves and no politicians are playing any role.

With this Sonia reportedly called Diggy Raja and Ahmed Patel immediately and take stock of the situation and today’s statement by Diggy Raja that Hyderabad will be governed by Centre is a pointer in this direction! Unless a proper solution on Hyderabad is not taken, things are going to slip beyond control, this is the reality.

Ram Charan in Seetamma Vakitlo sequel?

Share

Mega Power Star Ram Charan is taking all his time to hit upon a perfect script to turn the tide back in his favour after his Toofan/Zanjeer left without hitting the success shores. He rejected Karan Johar’s offer to star in Agneepath remake in Bollywood but signed Salman Khan’s venture. Even sources say Ashutosh Gowarikar is planning to take a film with Cherry.

Now one gets an impression that he is starring in Seetamma Vakitlo sequel. It is known that Cherry and Venkatesh are doing a multi starrer under Krishna vamsi’s direction. Currently script work is under way.

Sources say film is closer to Telugu nativity and buzz is it highlights the value of joint family and human relations. Those who heard the line feels Cherry is trying to play safe targetting family viewers and with Venky shaking hands, he too is keen to repeat Seetamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu magic. His Yevadu is waiting in the wings to hit the screens in a spectacular manner.

Naidu Starts Hunger Strike In Delhi

Share

Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu has finally taken up indefinite hunger strike in Delhi as said by him earlier. Terming the move of Congress party to bifurcate Andhra Pradesh as ‘political match fixing’, Naidu started his deeksha today.

The former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister stated that Telangana is not just an issue of AP and Congress party, but it is a national issue that should be looked after by all parties. He supported his idea of fasting in Delhi as he wants to bring attention from national parties and media too. ‘When Seemandhra people are agitating from 70 days, why did the Congress party hasn’t called for any all-party meeting?’ asked Naidu, before starting his indefinite hunger strike.

‘Congress just wants to take political advantage and this T-decision is a match fixing. They didn’t follow any proper procedures to bifurcate the state’, stressed Naidu. The TDP president is actually getting ready to write letters to all parties exposing the opportunistic policies of Congress party.

Pawan’s Heroine Goes Topless!

Share

Isn’t she hot like hell?  Yes she is, but that doesn’t suit for an actress, though it is fine for a model. She is none other than former Miss India Sarah Jane Dias.

The 30 year old seductress is best known to Telugu audiences as a lead girl of Pawan Kalyan’s disastrous flick ‘Panjaa’. While in that flick, the same girl looked like a big letdown for the role of a heroine, but her photo shoots are simply blowing minds of everyone. Posing on the October month cover page of FHM magazine, Sarah took one and all by a surprise by posing topless. She is on death of opportunities in movies at the moment and that might have provoked her to go for such a hot look.

Cine observers feel that Sarah failed to seduce audiences at a time when she is having a couple of movies in hand. Going extra hot on magazine covers now is like catching leaves after hands are burnt.

Prabha’s Raju Stunnig Look

Uncontrollable damage being done for Pawan

Share

Attarintiki Daredi is probably the only movie that faced all sorts of problems before and after release. Currently going on Samaikyandhra agitation is denting the collections of this film in Seema and Andhra regions. Despite having a record breaking and sensational first week, Attarintiki Daredi is facing huge problems in its second week. Besides agitations and bandh calls, AD is also facing serious problems due to piracy.

The film’s first half was out prior to the release, but still Pawan Kalyan’s star power ensured that it didn’t suffer much due to it. Full film was uploaded on net on the release day itself, but that didn’t stop the film from going on to become the highest grossing Telugu film in first week. But the piracy has gone to a uncontrollable level on the net now. High quality DVD print is uploaded in various torrent websites and this will cause serious damage to the film in coming days.

Piracy effect is clearly visible in US as the film failed to register decent numbers in the second weekend. With these quality DVD rips being circulated at a lightening speed, Attarintiki Daredi will face trouble in AP too. Trade experts expected the film to get steady collections in Dasara vacation, but piracy has gone to a uncontrollable level already and therefore it will be tough for the film to get long run at the box office. However, thanks to its wonderful run in first week, AD will surely bring profits to everyone that invested in it.

Why is Kajal doing that?

Share

She might be most successful heroine and most sought-after in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi film industries, yet Kajal Agarwal is ostensibly in no mood to be part of Telugu films. She has turned down many plum projects recently. Be it Gabbar Singh 2 or Balayya’s Legend or Kamal Haasan-Linguswamy’s project, she is persistently shying away from signing new projects down the south. And also the buzz is that, she is quoting an exorbitant remuneration from producers. Apparently, Kajal is quoting One-and-a-half crore for a film which is forcing producers to look out for alternative options.

On flip side, she is super busy making deals with commercials, endorsements, new showroom launches, and ad shoots. The Magadheera girl has inaugurated Chennai Shopping Mall showroom in Ameerpet, Hyderabad just four days ago and she is back to city on Saturday to launch Kalaniketan Fashion Mall. Also, recently she had participated in VKC footwear ad shoot at Chennai.

The big question is what prompting Kajal to go gaga over commercials contrary to films. The rumour mill is that Kajal is crazy about money and definitely, showroom launches are instant cash sources for her like any other actresses. Also, reports have it that she is focusing more on Bollywood than South. After Naayak and Baadshah, Kajal has not signed any Telugu films. But industry experts say that this may spell doom on her career in Tollywood. Hope, Kajal will change her mind soon and enthrall Telugu audiences soon.

Non bailable warrant for Jeevitha

Share

The Nampally Criminal Court in Hyderabad on Monday issued a Non-bailable warrant against actress-director-producer Jeevitha Rajasekhar. The court has directed so after Jeevitha failed to attend the court hearings twice over a bounced cheque issue.

Apparently, Jeevitha Rajasekhar has borrowed an amount from their family friend and financier Parandhama Reddy with an assurance of two cheques as surety. With a cheque of Rs 36 lakhs bouced, Parandhama lodged a complaint in the Nampally court. With Jeevitha and Rajasekhar failing to attend the court for two consecutive, hearings despite repeated summons to her, and one including on Monday, hence, the Nampally Criminal Court has issued a Non bailable warrant against Jeevitha Rajasekhar.

Court has directed the Jubilee Hills police to produce the accused Jeevitha and her husband Rajasekhar to the court on or beforeNovember 29. However, Jeevitha and Rajasekhar are tight-lipped over the issue.

‘Buddodu’ hurts Harish Shankar

Share

Power Director Harish Shankar says that he loves his heroes like anything. He says he believes in ‘hero worship’ and all his movies will feature heroism elevating scenes and dialogues. He likes to pen dialogues that will instantly catch the attention of those respective heroes. In Gabbar Singh he wrote a dialogue on Pawan Kalyan’s Tikka and that was lapped up by everybody and raised the expectations on the film.

For Ramayya Vastavayya, he came up with ‘Buddodu’ dialogue which raised few eyebrows besides being popular among NTR fans. Harish said that he doesn’t like to hear someone call his hero as ‘Buddodu’. He feels that as a derogatory remark against NTR. Only close associates and fans of NTR are eligible to call him with such names, Harish said. Hence he targeted all others who call him Buddodu in a brutal way… by saying ‘guddaloodadeesi kodatha’.

Buddodu dialogue raised some sort of controversy as many felt that Harish Shankar and NTR gave a retort to TV channels that aired derogatory programs on the latter. Harish Shankar clarifies that he didn’t target any media house with that dialogue. That was written only because of his love towards his hero it seems. We have information that there are many more sensational dialogues in this film that would become talk of the town once the film hits the marquee.

Terrorists who targeted Tirumala, nabbed

Share

The Andhra Pradesh police and their Tamil Nadu counterparts in a joint operation with Octopus commandos successfully nabbed two terrorists in Puttur town of Chittoor district.

The extremists wanted to execute a terrorist attack during the ensuing Brahmotsavams at Tirumala. The terrorists were apprehended from Puttur town, located 35 kilometers away from Tirupati and is at the Andhra – Tamil Nadu border.

Terrorists Bilal and Munna Ismail came to Puttur in the guise of businessmen dealing in old clothes and chicken.  Their plan, as suspected by police, was to place bombs in ceremonial umbrellas that are used in ‘Garudotsavam’ of Lord Balaji.

The two extremists surrendered after 11 hours of gun battle with police. The cops holed up the terrorists who were staying at a house in Puttur. Following their surrender, the terrorists have been shifted to Chennai. One of the terrorists was injured in the gun fight and was treated at the local hospital in Puttur.

The police also freed a woman and two children who were in the custody of terrorists. The two terrorists belong to Al-Mun-Tahim and are suspected to be behind the killing of a BJP leader who goes by the nick-name ‘Auditor-V’.

Satyavani silenced by Telangana newspaper?

Share

The AP NGOs meeting at LB stadium in Hyderabad saw the emergence of a lady leader in support of United AP and it was none other than Satyavani who attained a transformation from a spiritual discourse personality on TV to a vocal speaker in support of Samaykhyandhra sentiment.

But after making her presence for a couple of days later, sources say Satyavani is not to be seen much outside these days and this was after reports of her encroaching activities near Miyapur, running a mineral water plant without permission and other irregularities have surfaced.

This was published by Namasthe Telangana daily with facts and figures and though it was initially thought to be  a false propaganda, eventually sources say that Satyavani didn’t come out in open to even condemn them saying they were rumors and this confirms suspicions about her activities. But some say she is waiting for the right moment to give her side of the story.
