Agitators baying for Botsa’s blood?

Share

The agitators in the otherwise peaceful Vijayanagaram seem to be in no mood to relent. If reports are to be believed, then the agitation against Telangana statehood has acquired the dimension of Anti-Botsa tune in his hometown. The anti-feeling towards Botsa has been on a high since a long time and now it reached its peak.

Mobs are prowling over the properties of Botsa and those owned by his vast kith and kin that confirm suspicions that the family has deep roots in corruption. People of his region were already vexed by his endless corruption activities for the last few years and analysts say this is the nail in the coffin.

Media reports suggest that agitators are on their wits end and are practically demanding Botsa to dare enter Vijayanagaram and are shouting abuses saying he is staying in Delhi after quietly extending his support for Telangana! This looks to be the downfall time of Botsa and he must prepare for the worse.

Will Akkineni family repeat Ghattamaneni family history?

Share

Tollywood is filled with a good number of film families and two among them are the Ghattamaneni family and the Akkineni family. In a way, the Akkineni family is more famous due to its vast presence. But now some are wondering if this family will repeat the history of Ghattamaneni family regarding their family heroes.

Many years ago, superstar Krishna introduced his son Ramesh Babu as the hero but despite his best efforts, Ramesh Babu could not shine as a hero. But within no time, Mahesh Babu emerged and he overtook Ramesh. Today, he is a superstar. Now, a similar situation is being anticipated in the Akkineni family.

The time is fast approaching for Akkineni Akhil to make his debut and many in the filmnagar circles are stating that once he makes his debut, he has full potential to overtake step brother Naga Chaitanya and reach stardom. If that happens then history will have repeated or we have to see if Naga Chaitanya can keep ahead of Akhil.

Ram Charan to challenge Mahesh Babu?

Share

More than the competition with Junior NTR it has always been noticed that the race between Ram Charan and Mahesh Babu has always been very intense. In the past, Charan has come up with his release almost at the same time when Mahesh comes with his film. Again, it looks like something similar might happen.

According to sources, the situation of Ram Charan’s ‘Yevadu’ is not looking good given the political situation in Andhra Pradesh. It is heard that producer Dil Raju who has dared to come with ‘Ramayya Vastavayya’ is not keen to do that for ‘Yevadu’. So, the chances are that this film will be pushed to Sankranthi.

If that happens then there is no doubt that ‘Yevadu’ will challenge ‘1-Nenokkadine’ at the box office. But another talk is that Allu Arjun’s ‘Race Gurram’ is also targeting Sankranthi 2014. So, if that comes then maybe ‘Yevadu’ will release early. Either ways, it looks certain that Mahesh will be challenged by Ram Charan.

Charan fans tension & confusion over ‘RV’

Share

Though both Ram Charan and Junior NTR are good friends and catch up whenever possible, it is not the case with their fans. They are hardcore and tend to have a lot of competition amongst themselves. Currently it is heard that fans of Ram Charan are quite tensed and confused over the new film ‘Ramayya Vastavayya’.

The Junior NTR starrer is scheduled to arrive on October 10th but different news is making rounds about that. Meanwhile, it is heard that Charan fans are confused when it will come and in tension if this film will become a hit. Recently Charan scored a heavy flop in the form of ‘Thoofan’ and his ‘Yevadu’ is nowhere in sight.

Reports say Charan fans are seriously praying that ‘Ramayya Vastavayya’ doesn’t release that smoothly and even if it does, it must not work properly. As a hardcore fan, such emotions are quite natural but as of now, any impact on the big films will create terrible losses for the rest in the industry.

Is Power Star a tissue paper?

Share

Power Star Pawan Kalyan’s fan following is well known and Pawanism, his fan frenzy as is known is immeasurable. However there is a feeling that many are using Pawan kalyan’s name as tissue paper. Many are using his name to gain media attention or get offers.

Maverick director Ram Gopal Varma has been using Pawan’s name in his tweets asking him to come to politics with ulterior motives. Mega Power Star Ram Charan and even all other heroes not only from mega family but others are using Pawan’s name. Raviteja used it in Balupu while Puri Jagannath used in Iddarammayilatho.

Nitin is not stopping using Pawan’s name. He is using it in Courier Boy Kalyan after Ishq and Gunde Jaari Gallantayyinde. Now even Manoj, Navadeep, Nikhil are using his name in their tweets.

Even beauties like Praneetha, Kriti Karbanda and now anchor Prashanti are using Power Star’s name. The question is whether they are really referring to him with love and affection or trying to use him as tissue paper.

Top Heroine comments on present politics

Share

For a celebrity, the fan bases will be from different communities, of different political views and with different ideologies. However, all these fans force their heartthrob to talk about some sensitive political issues often.

The other day sensuous beauty Samantha has also undergone same pressure from her fans it appears. Actually she is asked to respond about the political turmoil going on in Andhra Pradesh and also in India. As she happens to be top starlet of Tollywood, we know what Telugu fans will ask for. Of course, Sam is not the one who could respond in an intellectual tone like her colleague Siddharth. Also she could neither deny replying such question as fans will get more hurt. Finally after lot of pampering, Samantha has made comment on present day political scenario.

‘For all those asking about my comments on present day politics, the answer is – no comment’ said Samantha. Well, that’s more of an intelligent answer. Of course, being an actor in India is like living in a glass house, one should not take chances by throwing stones at passerby.

Why This TV Actress Got Squeezed?

Share

Whenever there is a chance for sensationalism, it is not just media but every other agency associated with publicity is using that to the most. The recent arrest of a TV actress of leading daily serials who was caught red-handed prostituting with an aged wealthy businessman is best example for that.

Never in any case, police will reveal the true names and pictures of the girls caught during their raids regarding prostitution. Have we anytime seen any call-girl caught in sex-racket shown openly to media? Have we ever notice police revealing the complete bio-data of those girls? But in our recent incident, Police not only showed the girl to media, though veiled, they also revealed the names of serials she is working for and on what channels those serials are aired. How far this is correct? Where have the morals gone?

With police revealing the name and serials she is working, it is easy for media to come up with her videos and pictures, and make big story of it. News that says two girls are caught prostituting maybe quite weak, but if it is a particular actress caught red-handed, then the story will get huge attention. So everyone made a nice chance of it. Both police who presented that case and media made the best of this TV actress’ episode and squeezed her to a maximum for their own publicity.

When law doesn’t allow them to publish pictures of a raped girl, is not the same that should be applied here too? Though both cases are dissimilar, the concept is to hide their identity such that society will not further torture them with their sympathetic looks and hatred too.

As her identity is revealed now, will someone really gives her a chance in their projects again? Will they offer her a chance without asking her to offer something in return? Can she live peacefully escaping those pouncing eyes while walking in her neighbourhood? What is the use of sending her to rescue home to make her stop prostitution, by crashing whole of her career?

Charan May Not Agree With Jagan

Share

Among the big lot of star heroes we have, Ram Charan is one who can pull amazing openings with his wide spread stardom and fan base. Even such a hero is sitting idle now, without signing any project. Here is an interesting rumour doing rounds in film nagar about his next.

Actually Charan is said to be waiting for his father to approve his next with director Krishna Vamsi. It  happens to be a family story involving three big heroes including Krishna, Venkatesh and Charan. Apart from this project, it is heard that even director Puri Jagannadh is eagerly waiting for Charan to listen to his story. However our mega hero is not giving him time to hear that narration. There happens to be a couple of reasons for this.

Of late, Puri has involved with a couple of loose talks regarding both Charan and his babai Pawan. The director shared with a news paper that Pawan is mediocre to work with, and later said media misquoted him. Recently he stated in an interview that Chirutha was a mistake as he missed to direct Salman then. After rubbing Mega family on a bitter tone like this, why would Charan show interest to work with him?

For now all these stories are just rumours, but we have to see what is really in store both Charan and Jagan. Our mega hero is awaiting Yevadu release, while the director is busy filming chases on Nitin in Spain.

Share

They say that Balayya asked director to altercate some parts of script, such that it will suit present day political scenario in Andhra Pradesh.

Actually ‘Legend’ is said to be a satire on politics of the day and on some key politicians. With Centre approving Telangana note, Balayya wants to make some changes such that fans will like the new ones better. Let us wait for the movie to find out what real satires Balayya is actually throwing.

Hansika’s fresh controversy

Share

Hansika is going through the best phase of her career right now. With eleven films in her kitty, she’s the most sought after actress in Kollywood and eyeing Tollywood in the same direction. But the 23-yr-old soft-spoken heroine has courted a fresh controversy over the release of a dubbed film of her.

Hansika’s erstwhile Telugu film with Nithin titled Seeta Ramula Kalyanam Lankalo is due for release in Tamil with Rowdy Kottai as the name. Unhappy with the things, Hansika apparently doesn’t want this film to be released at all. She is afraid that it may affect her career and may impact her projects that are in pipeline. What’s irony is that she doesn’t want her own film to be released at all. The rumour is that Hansika has lodged a complaint with South Indian Film Artiste’s Association, asking them to intervene such that the film must not be released in Tamil.

However, the producer Sivaprakasam who has acquired the dubbing rights, say he has legally rights to release the Tamil version. Also he confirmed that Hansika has not signed any deal/legal documents with original producers over the release of dubbed versions. So, he rules out of any hurdles for the release of his film.

Meanwhile, Hansika’s mother is expressing displeasure over the happenings. Also, the original film had been dubbed earlier and released in Hindi as Dushmano Ka Dushman and even Hansika was upset over this then.

But what Hansika needs to understand is that she is giving more publicity to that dubbed film and nothing else. At the end of the day, it’d be a waste effort to fight over petty issues. To release dubbed films cashing on the publicity of stars is not new in industry and this has happened to almost every star. It’s time for Hansika to move on and focus on her present projects. Let’s see how Hansika takes things forward.

Can Attarintiki Daredi beat Magadheera record?

Share

Pawan Kalyan’s latest blockbuster Attarintiki Daredi has created history by collected a share of Rs. 47.74 crores in its first week. It has beaten the previous first week record by miles and the talk about it surpassing Magadheera’s full run share turned out to be the hottest topic in trade. However, AD’s dream run was affected to due to bandh call in Seema, Andhra regions. Collections on Friday were very less as the film was screened in very few theaters.

Most of the theaters in Rayalaseema (Ceded) didn’t screen single show on Friday and the effect of bandh was also visible in Uttarandhra (Vizag area). Agitations are still going on in Seemandhra region and Attarintiki Daredi Saturday collections too might not be in sync with its first week run. However, the film is running to packed houses in Nizam. All shows on Saturday and Sunday are either full or 90% full already in all the multiplexes.

Ranbir Kapoor’s Besharam failed to impress and that is helping Attarintiki Daredi to be the first choice film for Hyderabad multiplex audience. If the situation in Seemandhra comes to normal from Monday, then Attarintiki Daredi can expect a decent second week share. Or else it will find tough to beat Gabbar Singh all time share, forget about Magadheera. Also it will face competition from Ramayya Vastavayya from third week, which is going to replace AD in many theaters as per pre release agreements.

Jagan Takes Up Fast-Unto-Death

Share

‘Is it justifiable to split the state without taking up any assembly resolution? What kind of democracy we are living in? From tomorrow morning (Saturday), I’m starting a fast-unto-death here in front of my party office itself’, confirms YS Jagan, YSR Congress party president and Kadapa MP.

‘For the sake of votes and seats Congress party is splitting this state and those who have to respond against this are sitting calm’, he added.

There are rumours since other day that Jagan is actually thinking to sit for hunger strike, but his announcement came as a big support to Seemandhra agitators who are protesting from last 60 plus days, and who have intensified their protests from today.

‘It took sixty years to develop this city, but how could Andhra built a new capital equal to it in 10 years, and how Group of Ministers will solve issues in six weeks?’ he asked. Jagan stressed that there is a scientific procedure for bifurcating a state and Congress followed nothing of them in the case of Andhra Pradesh. ‘There should be a resolution to split the state, and people of all regions should agree with it. How can you ditch the feelings of Andhra and Rayalaseema region?’, Jagan asked.

The Kadapa MP requested top leaders from all parties to join his hunger strike, along with their party flags. ‘I request TDP, BJP and YSR-C to take part in my hunger strike along with their party flags itself. This is the time we have to stand united and think beyond politics’, Jagan stressed.

Chiru Rejects PM’s Plea On Phone

Share

Shocked with Union Tourism Minister K Chiranjeevi’s resignation letter faxed to Prime Minister’s office the other day, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh himself has called Megastar on phone.

Congress high command is trying to console all Seemandhra ministers and make them walk with party’s decision of splitting Andhra Pradesh state. However, a couple of ministers like Chiranjeevi and Pallam Raju are hell bent on their choice of quitting posts and party, after getting hurt by Cabinet’s approval of Telangana note. Reports have that PM Manmohan has called up Chiranjeevi on phone regarding his resignation, and asked him to not take decisions in a knee-jerk. Also PM is heard asking Chiru to take back his resignation and continue doing the good job as Tourism minister he is doing all these days.Responding on PM’s requests, Chiranjeevi has simply rejected the very idea of continuing in the post, and confirmed that there is no option for him except resignation as Congress hurt him with their Telangana decision. Also another union cabinet minister from Seemandhra, Pallam Raju confirmed that he could not take back his resignation.

Are Jagan & Chandrababu on one frequency ?

Share

How come the wave length of  two politicians in Andhra Pradesh  are always  same  and routine ? Aalysts say that both have run out of ideas and tricks  and find that they have been hoodwinked for good by Sonia Gandhi .The fast idea is nothing short of penance for their foolhardy ways and loosing for a woman qwith good brains.

After  lack lustre campaigns, bandhra  aad protest rallies  it has finally dawned on the TDP Chief  and  YSRC  president   that they are one and same in thought and action . On the night of  UPA cabient endorsing the Telagana note both the political bulls of AP – Chandrababu Naidu and YS Jagan announced a single  action  plan- indefinite  hunger strike .

Analysts  wonder  how  can  a hunger srike  can now compel the  Congress high command and the UPA  government to retrace its  steps  and withdraw the Telangana note .It would be a miracle and a political  land slide  if it worked . For that matter  Chandrababu  Naidu had  gone on padayatra and also  bus yatra. Jagan for huis part had  gone on indefinite  fast  and also yatra in seemandhra .

So now  can there be  a  serious  fall out  and the  centre  roll back its  decision now tht two  top political  king makers of  AP are on fast mode once again . Funnily they are fasting  now  for a roll back of a decision  which was not  cosidered  even after  65 day long agitation by the  people and politicians of  13 districts, 4.5 lakh employees of  13 districts and  also campaign of  TDP ,Congress and the  YSRC ?

Priyamani sandwiched between NTR & ….

Share

If one has to give an example of a heroine who has spoiled her career with her own hands then Priyamani’s name can be taken. Despite having a strong acting potential and striking beauty, Priyamani indulged in over exposing and showing interest only in glamour roles which has cut her career short by few years.

Now, the talk is that Priyamani has become a sandwich between Junior NTR and politics. Thinking what this is about? We are talking about Priyamani’s film ‘Chandi’ which is being promoted with full hype. The film was due for release on October 4th but the latest reports reveal the film has been postponed.

According to sources, the makers sensed that Junior NTR is going to come up with ‘Ramayya Vastavayya’ at any cost on October 10th. At the same time, the political situation in Andhra Pradesh has again taken a chaotic turn due to the cabinet note issue. As a result, director Samudra and others reportedly felt it is not a wise thing to release the film now. Let us wait to see when it will come then.

Will Young Tiger dare T-Note?

Share

Young Tiger NTR from the beginning decided to go ahead with the release of his action entertainer Ramayya Vastavayya during Dasara. He didnot budge even when seemandhra agitation reached at its peak and his father Hari Krishna resigned as MP in support of United Andhra Pradesh.

However when all is set for the film Ramayya Vastavayya release in a week’s time, Union Government hastened the process tabling T-note on Telangana. This resulted in protests across the state for Samaikyandhra.

Now the question is whether Young Tiger dare to take on T-Note and Telangana, Seemandhra and release the film. Either way Ramayya Vastavayya will get affected with the current situation in Andhra Pradesh.
