Nandamuri Heroine Hunt Gets Break

Share

Never in the history of our Nandamuri hero, was this hunting extended for long periods and yet resulted in nothing. Whether it is good or not to assess faults, one should really check out what is actually going wrong.

Shocking news is that director Boyapati Sreenu is still to find a heroine for Nandamuri Balakrishna, who is already shooting for the combo’s upcoming flick. Though heroine Sonal Chauhan was roped in as second heroine, main lead of the movie is yet to be okayed. The likes of Nayantara, Kajal, Anushka, Tamanna, Trisha and Richa Gangopadhyay are already checked, before the hot sirens actually said no. However the heroine hunt got a big break now. With Balayya busy with works related to his younger daughter’s wedding and Boyapati checking the rushes of their first schedule shoot, the hunt got a break.

But one will wonder as to when Boyapati Sreenu could really put a full stop to this heroine hunting. If at all existing heroines are all showing tantrums, why is the director not picking any new girls for the role is what lingering in the minds of fans?

Why those heroines hate Chiranjeevi?

Share

Though Chiranjeevi is no longer acting in films and is decided upon continuing his political career he is still regarded as the megastar for Tollywood. Even today, comparisons are made to his dance and his blockbuster hits. While all that is one side, it appears that the heroines he worked with don’t share that good a rapport.

The best examples for that are the two heroines Roja and Vijayashanti. Together, Chiranjeevi and Vijayashanti have given many blockbusters like ‘Pasivadi Praanam’ ‘Kondaveeti Donga’ and others. But after she joined politics, Vijayashanti has never let go of a chance to comment on Chiranjeevi or criticize him.
In terms of Roja, she has done few films with Chiru but at one point even she was a top range heroine who worked with star heroes. But even Roja has not been that very nice to Chiranjeevi in her official statements. Whether something happened during their days of acting or any other reason, only these three people know.

Jagan Shatters Dreams Of Telugu Anchor

Share

She used to be a popular news reader in Telugu channel circuits before actually taking up the politics route to become a statewide leader. However, all her dreams of becoming MLA and becoming a happening politician are completely shattered the dreams of the lady.

News anchor Rani Rudrama is the woman we are talking about. Sometime back she took the teertham of YSR Congress from YS Vijayamma and even became the party’s convenor for Narsampet constituency in Warangal district. Rani is expected to contest on YSRC ticket for state assembly from the same place. However Jagan’s idea of standing beside Samaikyandhra protesters in the wake of bifurcation, has completely worried the Telangana based leaders of YSR Congress. With the party getting emptied in almost all regions of Telangana, Rani Rudrama has also submitted her resignation.Reports have that Rani Rudrama is contemplating to join BJP in the coming days but that will not ensure her of any MLA ticket. Maybe she might have won in Jagan wave, but now political future seems to be tough for the news anchor.

Who Is The Head Of Samaikyandhra JAC?

Share

Telangana Rashtra Samithi MLA from Sircilla, K Taraka Ramarao breathed fire on AP NGOs who are on strike from the last couple of weeks for the sake of keeping this state united. Irrespective of the fact that Seemandhra people are agitating voluntarily without any politician behind them, KTR accused that Congress and TDP are provoking Seemandhra people.

‘AP NGOs have started calling shots for Samaikyandhra only after they met Chief Minister Kiran at CM Camp Office. It looks like Kiran is the head of Samaikyandhra JAC that is right now paralyzing life in Seemandhra region’, quipped KTR. He felt that AP NGOs are unnecessarily creating issues and CM Camp Office became centre for all these conspiracies.

‘Telangana sans Hyderabad is like a headless torso and we’ll never accept for that. Also if Centre decides to make Hyderabad as a Union Territory, we will revolt along with MIMs Asaduddin’, said KTR.

Political observers ask KTR, if Hyderabad less Telangana is headless torso, then what is Seemandhra without Hyderabad? If at all he puts by this body-parts comparison on a table, which body part will be related to Andhra and Rayalaseema? We have to see how KTR answers these.

Another Telugu actress goes missing!

Share

Not so long ago, actress Anjali, of Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu fame, went ‘missing’ and returned after three days with a huge drama. And now it is the turn of a small-time and budding Telugu actress.

Sai Sirisha, who has acted in TV shows and a film, has gone missing from Hyderabad, police said on Sunday. Sai Sirisha, who is in her early twenties and has acted in TV shows and played the lead role in Telugu movie ‘Love Attack’, has been missing since the last week of May. A missing person’s report was filed yesterday by her father N Prasad Rao with the Banjara Hills police. According to her father Prasad, the girl has been ‘not in touch’ with them from the evening of May 27 where she has gone for the shoot of a film and ever since didn’t return.

The complainant added that he is not aware of her whereabouts as Sirisha had told him that she was going for a shooting schedule. However, she has still not returned home, nor there has been any communication from her side. Special police teams have been formed to trace the young actress.

Like in the case of Anjali, let’s hope that Sai Srisha too return soon. And we hope that it will be a happy ending for her family, friends and relatives.

Highlight of Balayya’s Daughter wedding mandap

Share

It is known that Balakrishna’s second daughter Tejaswini will enter wedlock with Gitam University’s MVVS Murthy’s grandson Muthukupalli Sri Bharat at Hitex on August 21st.

The festivities began with the pre-wedding bash hosted by Sri Bharat on Friday. On Saturday, the bridegroom’s parents threw a cocktail party at the Trident hotel for close friends and family. Pellikoduku lunch would be held at Trident itself On Monday.

As Balakrishna is so particular about beginning anything important on an auspicious date, the printing of the wedding cards began only on August 11st – that’s 10 days before the big-fat wedding. Knowing that the cards would reach the guests just few days before the wedding, Both the families have invited the relatives and friends much before through phone calls and other social networking platforms.

The Wedding Mandap was designed by renowned art director Anand Sai who earlier worked for Chiru’s daughter Sushmita and son Ram Charan’s marriages. The design is said to be okayed by Balayya and Vasundara immediately in the first sitting. About 175 people have worked for 45 days to create this one of its kind mandap which will have two entrances and accommodate 15,000 guests at once. The highlight of the arrangements would be the hanging water fountains and lighting arrangements.

Indian Film Industry bigwigs and top brass politicians in the country are expected to grace the grand gala wedding ceremony. It is learnt that Balayya is personally taking care of all the arrangements to ensure no inconvenience for the guests.

Hero’s Remarks Vs Lagdapati’s Reaction

Share

It is already known that Manchu Manoj has reacted sharply over the leakage of ‘Potagadu’ trailer on social networking sites much before planned date.

He blasted Aditya Music, the audio company that owns the physical and digital rights of Potugadu music. The actor went on discriminating that he is ready for an action against the music giant, but his producer is actually backing off, for the financial equation he has with Aditya. Thus, Manoj vented fumes and highlighted the helplessness of his producer to bring down Aditya Music legally, though the audio company tendered apologies ruling the episode as a human error.

Reacting on the same, producer Lagadapati Sridhar however said that it is actually his mistake for sending trailer video to Aditya Music, otherwise the scene wouldn’t have happened. With Lagdapati claiming that Aditya Music has no role in the mistake happened, it could be understood that Manoj retorted exaggeratedly without checking with the producer.

Cine observers felt that the whole game of uploading uncut trailer and deleting is an act of promoting the flick prior to its trailer release. Anyway, Manoj’s comments look like serious ones, so we cannot conclude that way.

Real facts behind Venkatesh and Roja’s clash

Share

Venkatesh appears to be very easy going person who doesn’t have any issues with anyone in and out of the Film Industry. However, the family hero too had his share of ego clashes with co-stars.

In her recent interview, Roja admitted that she isn’t on taking terms with Venkatesh. “Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna and Nagarjuna used to be very friendly with me, but I had a clash with Venkatesh regarding an issue and that’s the reason why I haven’t acted with him in more films. My husband & director Selvamani agreed to work with Venky and that too when he was in top form. Even the muhurat of the film which stars Venkatesh and Vijayashanti was held in grand manner and Selvamani has gone for a location hurt. Meanwhile, Venkatesh’s coterie acquired the rights of Tamil flick ‘Chinna Gounder’ and remade it in Telugu as ‘Chinna Rayudu’ under B Gopal’s direction. Selvamani felt it as an insult and got very upset at that time. Few months after that issue, I signed a film ‘Pokiri Raja’ opposite Venkatesh. The shooting of my portions got completed long back but the makers have asked me to come to Bangalore to re-shoot a song bit. They made me sit for three days in Bangalore and I couldn’t stay there anymore as I can’t skip Selvamani’s birthday (Oct 22nd). So, I immediately rushed to Chennai to be with Selva. Then, I got a call saying ‘Venkatesh garu is asking you to attend the shoot’ and I shot back ‘Nothing is important to me than Selvamani’. Ever since, the gap between Me and Venky continued. Though he remade few of my Tamil films in Telugu, I wasn’t the heroine in the Telugu version just because of our differences,” reveals Roja.

In fact, Venkatesh and Roja weren’t seen attending the same film related function in the recent past. Let’s hope they bury the hatchet very soon!

Prabhudeva Tortures Nayan At Press Meet

Share

Don’t get into immediate conclusions before reading what exactly happened at the press meet the other day.

Sexy seductress Nayantara who is back to acting after her breakup with the choreographer-director Prabhudeva, is still facing troubles from him. After facing an emotional trauma due to break up, Nayan is now unable to find a solution for the Prabhudeva tattoo that is etched on her hand’s wrist. The other when Nayan is present at the muhurat press meet of Gopichand’s latest film, photographers tried to click the tattoo on her hand all the time. While she is posing for cameras, she tried her best to cover the tattoo with her chunni, but was unsuccessful doing it. For a couple of minutes, the tattoo that reads PD aka Prabhu Deva has tortured the hot lady, forcing her to leave the press meet in a rush.

Well, that’s the story of Nayantara and her Prabhudeva tattoo folks. But the big doubt is why our seductress is not getting the tattoo erased? If she could erase his memories from heart, removing tattoo is nothing.

Jagan & Mom should not create confusion

Former YSR Congress Party leaders of Telangana region Jitta Bala Krishna Reddy and K K Mahender Reddy have questioned the party’s honorary president Vijayamma and president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy whether they meant that State should not be bifurcated when they advocate equal justice to all the regions.

Speaking to the media here on Sunday, they also questioned the two whether they forgot that late Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy had entered into an electoral alliance with the TRS in 2004. They said it was not proper to change stand on daily basis for political gains and alleged that Vijayamma and Jagan were adopting dual attitude with regard to State bifurcation. “Is changing your stand everyday your trustworthiness”, they questioned. They also asked the Telangana leaders to quit the party if they have any shame or self-respect. Advising Vijayamma and her son not to create confusion in the name of Samaikyandhra movement, they said the movement was stirred up by capitalists.

Mahender Reddy and Bala Krishna Reddy said the Telangana movement was born from the people, in sharp contrast with the Seemandhra movement. They also condemned the attack on Congress MP V Hanumanta Rao in Tirupati. They said right from resignations to Vijayamma’s scheduled fast on Monday, the entire activity was sheer drama. They charged that the party was cheating both the regions.
