When credit and fame comes like a tsunami, there is no doubt it is always endangered of washing out like a sandstorm. Same thing is happening with this popular lady director of Tollywood. Check this story.

The search is on for the whereabouts of director Nandini Reddy who started her career with a bang through Ala Modalaindi and has fallen falt with Jabardasth. Sometime back it is heard that Nandi Reddy is narrating a story to senior hero Venkatesh but that is also not happening, say insiders. The after effects of Jabardasth are still haunting this talented lady and the criticism she faced for plagiarism in that Siddharth-Samantha starrer is still unforgettable. Lifting the whole story from Bollywood flick Band Baaja Baarat is costing a lot for Nandini, it seems.

Some Film Nagar birds chirp Nandini Reddy is actually preparing a story for Raviteja and that will be an out and out action entertainer. But for now, the lady director is sitting idle with no project

Yevadu pushed to October

Share
Ram Charan’s action-thriller ‘Yevadu’ isn’t releasing on August 21st as promised by the makers in the recent press meet. The film will be facing further delays due to the developments in the state post the announcement on Telangana.

After a meeting that was attended by all the leading producers of TFI on Monday, Dil Raju has decided to push the release of ‘Yevadu’ to October as a Dussehra special after considering several calculations. Have a look at them…

First and foremost, Agitations were the main cause for the delay. Secondly, ‘Toofan’ is releasing on September 6th. If ‘Yevadu’ misses the August 21st slot, the next possible release date would be Sept end.

Thirdly, Dil Raju can’t release ‘Yevadu’ in the last week of September because his other project ‘Ramayya Vastavayya’ starring Jr NTR was releasing on Sept 27th. So, ‘Yevadu’ could be released either on October 4th or 11th and the Dussehra season will be ideal for a big release.

Despite the long delay, ‘Yevadu’ team is confident of hitting the bull’s eye and waiting for right window to capitalize on the good content.

Pawan Kalyan’s popularity has been growing manifold with each passing day. His craze has multiplied in the recent times for some reason and we can see people going gaga over the Power Star on social media. Even all sections of media have been singing praises of this no-nonsense star. The latest to join the admirers list of Pawan Kalyan is Ram Gopal Varma. Although this maverick director likes to take digs at popular celebrities, he never tried to poke Pawan Kalyan.

With people discussing about the right leader to lead our state, RGV opined that Pawan Kalyan could be the one who we are looking for. Chiranjeevi proved incompetent in current politics and Ram Gopal Varma feels that Pawan Kalyan is a better leader than his brother. Here are the series of tweets posted by Ram Gopal Varma on his Twitter page.

‘I really hope Pawan Kalyan will start his own party..he will be the most dynamic among all actor turned leaders right from Mgr to Chiranjeevi’

‘I never voted in my life. ..but I will stand in line and vote for Pawan Kalyan’

‘Its not that Pawan Kalyan needs my vote…frm whatevr information I hv from various people entire Andhra Pradesh is waiting to vote for him’

‘Not since Bal Thackeray did I see such intensity nd charishma… commitment in his eyes and honesty in thoughts is what makes Pawan Kalyan’

‘I strongly believe that if Pawan Kalyan headed PRP it would have won with a thumping majority.’

‘Nenu kalyan tho cinema cheyyadaniki aa tweets anukunte nenu kalyan ni kalisi 5 samvastharalayindhi..kalise vuddheshyam kuda ledu. Oka director ga kaadhu kevalam andhra pradesh pouruduga pettina tweets avi’.

Rosaiah To Return As AP Chief Minister?

Share
On July 30th, Congress high command has decided to sanction Telangana and they have announced the same. However, Chief Minister was troubled with the decision and he immediately declared to high command that he cannot continue in CM post anymore.
Reports from Delhi are indicating that Chidambaram is busy inviting Tamilnadu governor Rosaiah to come back and take reigns as Chief Minister. In the wake of protests rocking Seemandhra and Kiran unpleased with the decision of high command to split state, the big discussion is about the CM candidate who will rule AP until the bifurcation process gets completed. Because if Kiran resigns, then someone very neutral and High Command loyalist should be here to control everything. Even before Telangana was announced, Minister Chidambaram has met Rosaiah in Chennai to invite him back to AP and take over CM post. But Rosaiah has reportedly declined the idea of coming to AP citing health issues. However, for now, Sonia and Manmohan succeeded in pacifying CM Kiran from resigning, but who knows anything may happen in the coming days as protesters are demanding for Kiran’s resignation.

Right now many Congress MLAs and MPs are getting ready to submit resignation, though Digvijay Singh asked them to wait and voice their opinion in assembly and parliament rather quitting posts like this. Let us see what will  happen.

Telugu superstar Akkineni Nagarjuna, who recently shot some sequences in the more than 700-year-old Predjama castle in Slovenia for his upcoming Telugu action-drama “Bhai”, says the experience was incredible.

“Earlier, we had planned to shoot the song sequences in Iceland, but it was worth an experiment shooting in this location,” Nagarjuna said in a statement. “It turned out to be far more suited to the sequence. I had some fantastic moments while shooting for a song sequence in the castle,” he added.

The castle, perched on a 123-metre cliff, is said to be the hideout for the rebellious knight Erazem of Predjama, a “robber baron”.

Nagarjuna is paired opposite Richa Gangopadhyay in the film. Directed by Veerabhadram Choudry, it also features Sonu Sood, Rahul Dev, Mukul Dev, Ashish Vidyarthi, Brahmanandam, and Jayaprakash Reddy in important roles.

SRK, Deepika add glamour to DCW finale

Share
“Chennai Express” actors Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone added star value to designer Manish Malhotra’s grand finale show at the Delhi Couture Week 2013 (DCW). The show reflected architecture of the 1930s, with resplendent embroidery on women’s bridal wear.

Deepika ‘towered’ above all others in an exquisite deep blue lehenga, which was heavily embroidered in gold and silver thread. In a neat hairdo and an eye-catching neckpiece, the actress definitely made a statement on the ramp, flaunting her perfect midriff at the show Sunday night.

Shah Rukh was as charming as ever and he looked suave in a stylish black suit as he sauntered down the ramp with Deepika and his designer friend Manish Malhotra in tow.

Malhotra’s collection was inspired by the 1930s era.

Talking about it, he said: “My collection is inspired by architecture, particularly from 1930s era, when luxury was celebrated in the most refined form. “While designing this collection, I could imagine a ‘maharani’ dressed in a layered lehenga-ensemble, embellished with antique gold, walking down a corridor with her entourage.”

DCW, a five-day extravaganza, was organised by the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI). It featured designs by some of the country’s topmost designers.

‘Chennai Express’ is for masses

Share
His health doesn’t permit him to take too much stress, but despite that Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is aggressively promoting his forthcoming film “Chennai Express” and says that the theme of the movie is such that the whole family can sit together and enjoy it.

Releasing Aug 9, director Rohit Shetty’s “Chennai Express” brings together SRK and Deepika Padukone together on the big screen once again after the hit movie “Om Shanti Om“. “My films are for the masses, similarly ‘Chennai Express’ is for the masses and needed to be promoted extensively,” SRk said Sunday while promoting his film in Delhi.

Shetty has been actively making films for the past 10 years and came out with hit “Golmaal” series, but “Chennai Express” is Shah Rukh’s first film with the successful director.

He lauds Shetty’s films for having variety.

“Rohit’s films have a variety… comedy, drama, romance and action… everything. ‘Chennai Express’ is a comedy film with a love story, but it’s definitely not like ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ or ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. It’s a family entertainer. There’s a little action too. It’s something that whole family can sit down and watch together,” he said.

Shah Rukh underwent shoulder surgery in May this year. “I’ve always promoted my films extensively… this time it’s less because I am not well,” said Shah Rukh, who looked stunning in a black suit. “I have recently got a surgery done. But I strongly feel that every film requires right marketing and promotions,” he added.

After promoting the film off-shore, the 47-year-old reached here Sunday along with Shetty and Deepika.

Different films need different marketing strategies. “It (marketing) depends on the films that what kind of promotions it needs. We didn’t promote ‘My Name Is Khan’ that much. Yashji (Yash Chopra) expired before the release of ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’, but we promoted ‘Ra One’ extensively worldwide,” he added.

Yash Chopra died Oct 21 last year and his last directorial venture “Jab Tak Hai Jaan” released on Nov 13.

Mega camp’s warning to YVS?

Share
The mega family is currently overloaded with heroes coming in but still whenever someone is making his debut it is done in a very prestigious manner. But right now it is heard that the mega camp is very upset with one person and they have indirectly given a warning to him. He is none other than YVS Chowdary.

According to few members from filmnagar, YVS Chowdary took the onus of launching Sai Dharam Tej through the film ‘Rey’. This film is on the floors since the last two years but till now there is no news. Before that is done, a new report has come that YVS has decided to make a film with Ravi Teja.

This has not gone well with the mega camp. With ‘Rey’ still pending and Sai Dharam’s debut hanging in air, they are not sure how YVS can proceed with another film. When last heard, the post production work for ‘Rey’ was happening. Only YVS knows what he is doing. Shraddha Das and Saiyami Kher are the leading ladies.

Trisha’s Shocking Affair with Old Uncle

Share
The first few names that come to mind thinking about today’s heroines are Kajal, Ileana, Samantha, Tamannah but before them there is another heroine who has proved herself for more than a decade as a solo heroine. She is none other than Trisha but now it looks like she is sending some shock waves among people.

Till recently Trisha was strongly mentioning that she is a top league heroine and was confident about doing films in Telugu with the current heroes but the news coming from Chennai is different. It is heard that Trisha is now going to pair up with senior actor Sarath Kumar for a new film.

This is being directed by Gautham Menon and it is heard that Trisha is very keen to do the film. The reason being Gautham gave her a very good hit in the form of ‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya’ whose Telugu version was ‘Ye Maya Chesave’. But Trisha fans are a little shocked about her choice of pairing up with a veteran like Sarath Kumar. Maybe the roles should do some justification.

Case filed against Chakri and Prasad for Sexual Assault

Share
Here is a hot buzz folks a case has been filed under Nirbhaya Act against music director Chakri and producer Paruchuri Prasad for allegedly misbehaving with a girl. As per media reports, the girl was on her way to home yesterday night after celebrating friendship day.

Both Chakri and Paruchuri Prasad behaved rudely trying to sexually abuse her. The young girl filed a complaint against both the celebrities at Jubilee Hills Police Station. Cops are investigating on this issue by questioning the eyewitnesses.

Chakri and Paruchuri Prasad have worked together for films Simha and Naa Ishtam. There are very bad reviews reported on Chakri in recent times. Let’s see if police will make this matter a small issue or arrest Chakri-Paruchuri Prasad publically with media around or not?

Mahesh’s stamina to come under test

Share
After ‘Pokiri’ Mahesh Babu went into a slump with some flops like ‘Sainikudu’ ‘Khaleja’ but again he bounced back with ‘Dookudu’ and his stardom has reached great heights. But right now, many are saying that his real stamina will be put to test with his new film ‘1-Nenokkadine’. And the reason is very strange.

It is close to an year since the film started and still there is nearly three to four months shooting left, as per sources. This only means that the budget of the film will touch very high. Though Mahesh is a superstar even his market has got a budget limit and there are other factors like other big releases when this film arrives.

So, his box office stamina will be put to real test when the film arrives. Director Sukumar is taking his own time to complete the film and since foreign schedules are also involved the money is being spent endlessly. Mahesh is pairing up with Kriti Sanon in this film so he will be in for a big test with this film.

Least Popular Siren For Mahesh’s Item Number

Share
The success of ‘Dookudu’ has turned tables for Superstar Mahesh and from then his brand image is much bigger than one would think of. Every technician he picks up and every actor he signs are most talked now and that is how his craze is.

‘One-Nenokkadine’ is currently being shot in London from a long time and the schedule will be wrapped in a couple of weeks. Big news is that Superstar Mahesh will be dancing to a peppy item number composed by Devi Sri Prasad in the sub-urban bars of London this time. But who is going to be the item lady of our numero uno hero? Earlier, the makers have thought of roping in a star bollywood heroine like Deepika Padukone or Katrina Kaif to sizzle beside Mahesh. But with the way budget is getting over shot for this chase-drama, the makers have opted for a cost cutting by roping in a least popular siren, say insiders.

B-town’s voluptuous siren Sophie Chowdary is roped in for the item number and her huge assets will be a visible feast for Superstar’s fans in this item number. The London based model cum actress of Indian origin feels that she will be making the stage real hot along with Mahesh. Wait for it anyway.

Process for Telangana formation begins

Share
Amidst an uproar over creation of Telangana, Union Finance minister P Chidambaram on Monday told the Parliament that a Cabinet note is being prepared to go into substantive and procedural issues concerning formation of the new state.

In the matter relating to the separate state of Telangana, the Constitution of India lays down a procedure for formation of new states. Besides, a number of substantive matters have to be addressed with the formation of new state. These matters are under consideration of the government the minister said in a brief statement in the Rajya Sabha.

 Chidambaram, who spoke after demands by MPs for a statement from the government and a debate on Telangana, said the Home Ministry will bring a comprehensive note for the Cabinet containing both substantive and procedural issues for the decision of the Cabinet.

He said once the Cabinet takes decisions on these matters, there will be an opportunity for the House to have a structured discussion on the subject. The government will welcome such a discussion at an appropriate time.

Both the Rajya Sabha as well as the Lok Sabha witnessed uproar over the T issue, preventing normal functioning of the two Houses on the first day of the monsoon session of Parliament.

Ex-Heroine Joins Hands With Chiru

Share
Chiru got popular for his comment that he will fight for the rights of ‘Seemandhra’ people if they feel any suppression in Telangana state. Though he can’t fight enough to stall the announcement of Telangana state or get courage to resign to minister post for the sake of Seemandhra, Chiru is busy endorsing the ‘permanent capital’ ideal which anyway will be ruled out senior politicians and analysts. Now in the likes of Chiru, former heroine Vijayasanthi too joined the chorus.

The recent comments by TRS president KCR have irked Seemandhra government employees working in Hyderabad. Responding on his comments, Vijayasanthi stated that KCR should control his tongue at this crucial juncture when Congress has decided to sanction Telangana. ‘If at all Seemandhra people feel any difficulties due to KCR and his team in Hyderabad, I’ll stand by the Seemandhra people and will fight for their rights’, said Vijayasanthi. Like how Chiru wants to fight for Seemandhra people, our Medak MP too decided to fight for them. Are Seemandhra people ready to believe all these statements?

Poliical analysts are quipping that Chiru and Vijayasanthi are trying to share AP between them, while Chiru wants to play King of Congress in Telangana, Vijayanthi wants the same in Telangana. Let us wait for a stroke of reality, to see what happens.

Target Ram Charan, not Pawan Kalyan!

Share
A clear indication has been coming from the protesters of Samaikyandhra that their target isn’t Pawan Kalyan, but Ram Charan and his father Chiranjeevi. Although ‘Atharintiki Daredi’ is scheduled for August 9th release, none of the agitators have targeted it directly until now. On the other hand, flexes and banners of ‘Yevadu’ which is releasing on August 21st has been damaged protesting Chiru’s decision of continuing as Union Minister.

A Samaikyandhra JAC leader openly commented that they might allow the screening of Pawan’s ‘Atharintiki Daredi’, but not Charan’s ‘Yevadu’ at any cost until Chiru resigns. This is a reflection of the way people look at Pawan Kalyan and Ram Charan. While Powerstar have an identity of his own and earns respect from all sections with his honesty & ideologies, Charan is still under the shadow of Chiranjeevi.

‘Atharintiki Daredi’ producer BVSN Prasad confirms there is no official statement from Samaikyandhra JAC on disrupting the release of his movie. He says no change in the release date as of now.

Meanwhile, Dil Raju opines it’s not fair to target Charan just because his father is a politician and stresses that a film is a result of hardwork put in by hundreds of people. He appeals to the protesters to see films and politics differently.
