Telangana credit to YSR not KCR?

Share
Looking at the way how PM Manmohan Singh reportedly spoke when Seemandhra leaders met him requesting him not to divide AP, it seems that in case Telangana is created then the credit will go to the late YSR but not KCR.

It is a known fact that it was YSR who in his position as PCC chief took along with him a batch of 32 MLA’s in 2000 to Congress president Sonia Gandhi asking her to favorably consider a separate PCC for Telangana and possible support to Telangana state formation. This was done with a view to corner CBN who was the CM then so that TDP can be weakened in Telangana.

Jagan and YSRCP are no doubt favoring united AP and are doing everything they can to stop Telangana formation and Seemandhra leaders who had come out after meeting PM were reportedly discussing among themselves that in case Telangana is given, then will the credit go to YSR and not KCR and then why are YSRCP leaders in Telangana so upset with party leadership! Interesting point, isn’t it?

Sonia Splits AP

While one Gandhi ( Mahatma ) brought the country together ,  another  Gandhi (Rajiv)  routed the congress in AP , a third  Gandhi ( Sonia) is all set to  break  the state .The heart beats  of  millions  will stop  tomorrow  as  the final decision  on new state of Telangana is all set to be announced  tomorrow .

The decision is likely to be endorsed by the CWC and also the  UPA coordination committees  in the evening .In fact they only endorse the decision taken by Sonia Gandhi week ago . Before that, Gandhi and the Prime Minister will meet with their allies who participate in the government to formally inform them of the road-map for India’s 29th state.

Hyderabad, sources said, will not be designated a Union Territory. Instead, the city with its booming economy powered largely by the IT industry, will be a shared capital for Andhra Pradesh and the new Telangana state.

 

Defeated candidates demanding back money!

Share
The practice of doling out gifts, money, liquor etc. in politics is now reportedly taking a full circle. If reports are to be believed then across the state after the second phase of Panchayat polls, candidates are literally chasing the life of voters demanding them to  give back whatever they given.

If a candidate in Andhra is asking voters to return back the silver items he had driven them, one candidate is reportedly fighting with the buying party to give back his land which he had sold to raise money for doling out money to voters.

This is also taking a violent turn with candidates physically attacking and in one or two instances even killing some of their trusted men and reliable voters who ditched them during voting. There are reports that in Ranga Reddy district, defeated candidates are disturbing pamphlets filled with verbal abuses for voters who have taken money but didn’t vote for them!

Hats off to Balakrishna’s commitment

Share
Nandamuri Balakrishna is a man of discipline and he always stick to his commitments given to everyone. We got to witness once again Balayya babu’s commitment for his movies with an incident.

We have already mentioned that Balakrishna’s second daughter Tejaswini’s marriage is on cards and a grand engagement is scheduled on 11th August. Wedding is going to take place on 21st August in Hyderabad being a bride’s father Balayya should be busy bee looking out at all arrangement taking break from his shooting by now.

But as surprise to many Balayya is attending his film shooting and when producer of movie asked him to take break from shoot for few weeks. Then Balayya with a smile said only two days are enough to deal with engagement and three for marriage so it’s ok to attend my film shoot. That is the kind of work commitment Balayya shows for all his films and unit members have given hats off to him.

Salmanism will match Pawanism or not

Share
The Pawan Kalyan mania and the theme of Pawanism picked up a lot in Tollywood these days. Surprisingly it is not just about Pawan Kalyan and his films, even other heroes are taking the name of Pawanism and are making good business for their films. The best example for that is Nithiin. And here is another update.

It is heard that the concept of Pawanism is now being used in Bollywood also. There, the place of Pawan Kalyan is being taken by Salman Khan. Salman is a mass hero and has a huge following. So, some films are now using the Salman brand for getting good response at the box office.

The new Hindi film ‘Phata Poster Nikla Hero’ has Shahid Kapoor as the hero and it is heard that he is shown as a big fan of Salman Khan. The film also has Ileana as the heroine. Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, we have to see whether the concept of Salmanism will match Pawanism or not.

Pawan’s Attarintiki Daredi to get postponed

Share
Looks like mega fans are going to face the Telangana heat not only for Ram Charan’s Yevadu film but also for Pawan Kalyan’s Attarintiki Daredi too according to latest reports. As per insiders there are bright chances for a formal announcement regarding Telangana state 2nd August and this will not go well with anti-T seekers which without generates brutal situation in state.

Attarintiki Daredi makers are waiting in silent mode and will decide on new release date according to the situations in state post an announcement comes from Central. If Congress announces in support of formation of Telangana, there would be uncertain situations in Seemandhra and if the declaration comes opposite to Telangana, agitations are to begin in Nizam region. In this condition, any proclamation will badly affect star heroes films.

Pawan Kalyan is a producer friendly hero and complete authority regarding release date announcement of Attahritniki Daredi lies with BVSN Prasad. No one will risk in releasing their film in these vague situations. So, there is a definite change in Attarintiki Daredi release date if Congress announces a decision on 2nd August.

Dil Raju’s satire puts ‘Yevadu’ in danger

Share
Finally after a lot of brainstorming and discussions it has been decided that ‘Yevadu’ has been postponed to August 21st. The reasons could be anything but then it is heard that producer Dil Raju has done something which might put the promotion of the film in danger. All this happened at the Daspalla hotel.

It is heard that Dil Raju had organized a press meet at 6 pm for the media to make the official announcement but he reportedly came in at 8.30 pm. When asked about it, the producer reportedly commented that anyhow the media folks will come for the party and it doesn’t matter when he comes and advised to enjoy the party.

The senior media people were reportedly very offended with that comment and they didn’t even touch a glass of water. It is also heard that as soon as the main people spoke, all the media members left. Many are saying that this could mean the film will have a tremendous impact in terms of its promotion and publicity. Let us see if Dil Raju takes this seriously or not.

Veteran actor ready for third marriage

Share
The veteran actor Sarath babu has been a wonderful husband, friend and father on-screen but in real life he seems to be having a roller-coaster ride in relationships. One could hardly imagine that the actor in real has problems in his marriage and that too twice! Sarath Babu is giving himself another chance and is all set to tie the knot for the third time.

The 61-old year actor has confirmed this news and in fact stated, “I feel like I am just 35-years-old both physically and mentally. The name of the person I will be marrying will be of 5 letters and she comes from a journalist background.”

Sarath Babu has acted in over 200 movies covering all South Indian languages and that is indeed a successful career spanning 37 years. We hope and wish the actor is similarly successful in his personal life too, all the best Mr. Sarath!

Heroine Disappoints Mahesh

Share
Whenever Mahesh Babu’s film is being worked out a lot of attention is put on the choice for heroine. With Mahesh’s style and charming personality someone very good looking and sexy can only suit him. Recently there was a strong talk that finally Mahesh found his perfect heroine.

She is none other than Bollywood beauty Deepika Padukone. Many were stating that Deepika was approached for Mahesh’s next film ‘Aagadu’ and the deal was going through. But now it looks like nothing of that sort is happening. Latest updates say two heroines are required for the film and the first female lead could either be Tamannah or Shruti Haasan.

There are also reports that the second female lead is also getting confirmed and it could be Aishwarya Arjun, daughter of senior actor and action king Arjun.  Whether Deepika said no to this film or if she is having some dates issues no one knows but it will be disappointing not to see her pairing up with Mahesh as she would be the dream heroine for the prince.

Superstar Krishna lifted Chiru-Venky?

Share
Chiranjeevi and Venkatesh are star heroes of Tollywood and before entering politics, Chiranjeevi was the ruler of Tollywood for almost two decades. Venkatesh is still continuing his career doing family oriented entertaining roles. But it is heard that both these heroes owe their star break to another person.

He is none other than superstar Krishna. It is heard that when Krishna was the number 1 in Tollywood during the early 80s, he got the offer for ‘Khaidi’ but he didn’t take it up and the film went to Chiranjeevi. ‘Khaidi’ made Chiranjeevi a superstar and is considered one of his best blockbusters till date.

Similarly, it is heard that Krishna was approached for the other film ‘Kaliyuga Pandavulu’ but again he had declined the film on different grounds. That film went to Venkatesh and it became a big hit giving instant fame and success to Venky making him a star. That way, superstar Krishna has lifted both Chiru and Venky indirectly.

Is Samantha Quitting Telugu Films?

Share
With almost four big films of her releasing in the coming days in Tollywood, it is now being heard that the star heroine is soon going to disappear from the circuit. This is bitter news for sure, but here goes the story.

Sensuous beauty Samantha is known for her golden leg in Telugu film industry though she scored some flops in the recent days. With Attarintiki Daredi ready for release, Ramayya Vastavayya on the way, Manam getting ready at brisk pace, the sexy siren is having big line up of big movies. Also she has signed ‘Rabasa’ with Jr NTR again. All these films have packed Samantha’s diary for 2013 and that is why she is not accepting any flicks for now. In a candid interview, she revealed that there is not questioning of signing Telugu flicks in 2014. ‘From next year, I’ll be focussing a lot on Tamil industry and will sign Tamil movies in a row’, said Samantha. One would wonder why she is distancing from Telugu movies and picking Tamil projects.

Analysts feel that Samantha actually wants to make it big down South but her popularity is limited only to Telugu circuit at the moment. Maybe that is the reason she is putting brakes on Telugu movies for a while. But once if she loses place here, it is tough to get it back.

What did Pawan say to Ram Charan?

Share
With producer Dil Raju openly stating that Abbayi Ram Charan and Babayi Pawan Kalyan hold discussions and came to a joint conclusion that release of Yevadu should be deferred, now, the whole buzz in film circles is what did Pawan Kalyan say to Ram Charan? And how long did Pawan spoke to Charan?

According to sources, Charan and Pawan spoke at length about life beyond films as both already knew before that Yevadu is going to postpone as Chiru hinted.

Charan was apparently curious about Attarintiki Daaredi and how it was shaped. Guess what’s Pawan’s reply. He just smiled and said it has come out well. Charan also conveyed Chiru’s best wishes for AD. Pawan thanked Abbayi Ram Charan and Annayya Chiru for lending their support and postponing their film to avoid a box office clash.

Chiru, Kavuri, Pallam fail

Share
The efforts of union ministers Chiranjeevi, Pallam Raj and Kavuri Sambasiva Rao to stall Telangana had apparently failed. It is learnt that the three ministers met Congress top leaders Ahmed Patel and Ghulam Nabi Azad and asked that the state be kept united.

However both the central leaders told them that the party had already decided on Telangana and it could not go back at this stage. They suggested that they should meet Seemandhra leaders and convince them about Telangana. The union ministers are trying to meet Sonia Gandhi to make last minute attempt to prevent state bifurcation.

Actress Manisha Koirala, who has successfully battled ovarian cancer, seems to be following a strict fitness regime as suggested by her father, politician Prakash Koirala.

“As dad has persistently asked me to walk eight to twelve kilometres, I do it as obediently,” Manisha posted on microblogging site Facebook. “It is followed by stretches. Then I do Pranayama for an hour and Osho’s kundalini meditation before sleeping. Also in between yoga, meditation and ayurvedic massage treatment. This I say is ‘project’,” she added.

The 42-year-old, who carved her own niche in the Hindi film industry with films like “Bombay”, “1942: A Love Story” and “Dil Se..”, was admitted to Mumbai’s Jaslok Hospital Nov 28 last year after which she flew down to the US for further treatment.

After spending over six months in New York for treatment of ovarian cancer, Manisha recently returned cancer-free, looking as gorgeous as ever.

BJP’s future in Telangana state?

Share
This seems to be the question in the minds of BJP central as well as state leadership because the party’s sole hope to get more seats in AP was Telangana issue and are now bewildered when Congress has suddenly hijacked this issue without any prior hints.

Everyone including KCR was of the opinion that Sonia will not take any decision and something concrete will emerge only after 2014 elections but this sudden move by Congress has taken the steam out of BJP and TRS. This will also take away the entire strength that TRS was gathering all this time.

In case Telangana is granted, TRS may have no reason for its existence while BJP may have no agenda expect for bragging about Narendra Modi. On the other hand, MIM party is of the opinion that BJP may resort to aggressive communalism which will polarize Hindus and votes in Telangana and throw them a direct challenge.

Chandrababu looser in Telangana

Share
Why is   Chandrababu Naidu silent on Telangana hype? Because it is said by analysts that Chandrababu Naidu will always be a looser in Telangana which is a land of Reddy’s, Velamas and the BC.

 Formation of Telangana will boost the morale and image of the Congress and TRS but TRS will wane out and finally become a tail piece of Congress. The Telugu Desam Party, which has some base in the Telangana region, will not be able to fight an election under Chandrababu Naidu once the state is formed. The people will not accept him at all since they consider him to be a big opponent of smaller states  and the  T movement , say the analysts .

The sources say that  TDP is silent about Telangana and even its  T TDP  forum is keeping silent  as  the party had  support of only the BC’s  in the region and not either the Reddys or the Velamas . Hence  Chandrababu Naidu is waiting and watching the  game of Congress  and the TRS.

Jagan’s tactics to merge Seemandhra congress with YSRCP

Share
This seems to be the rumors doing the rounds after the alleged threatening letter written by Seemandhra Congress leaders to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi. It was being said for a long time that in case Telangana is given, then YSRCP may try to go completely towards United AP stand and will do its best to ensure Congress is wiped off from the region.

In this regard these rumors are coming out saying that Jagan, the founder of YSRCP, may look at exiting from Telangana once and for all and that many MLA’s belonging to Congress in Seemandhra will resign en mass from the party and will move towards Jagan’s party.

At the same Congress sources say this cannot happen because many Seemandhra leaders have only sent this letter indirectly seeking a compromise regarding Hyderabad and added that in case Hyderabad is not given completely to Telangana everything will calm down. But if Jagan succeeds in what he is planning it will give a death blow to Congress in Andhra Pradesh.
