Udaya Bhanu getting threatening calls!

Share
Has she? Oh yeah the super sexy anchor who’s been in news for wrong reasons is in headlines once more and for an immature reply she would have burnt the bottoms of politicians. Udaya Bhanu opened her mouth again – she said that bikari politicians (poor politicians) here talk poor but enjoy lavish lifestyles and would have bought millions worth real estate properties abroad.

And that’s not all, the actress has had nothing to comment when she was sought an explanation from the reporters about her sweeping statement about politicians. However, she seems to have gathered some courage the anchor-turned-actress said she won’t spare anyone that come her way.

By the way people are rumoring that by singing a controversial song in the Rela re Rela program Bhanu has become a soft target to Congress party. Whether or not she has become a target for the party, it is true that the anchor has been getting life threats on calls.

Manisha Koirala is Brave, Bald, and Beautiful !

Share
Earlier today, actress Manisha Koirala tweeted a picture of herself with an (almost) bald head for the first time. The past month, she tweeted pictures of herself wearing a dupatta over her head or pictures of only her face in close-up.

It’s heartening that a star of her stature has decided to show off her battle scars, and give assurance to other women that you are still beautiful, despite any side effects from chemotherapy.

Will Dil Raju going to Bag Big Commercial success

Share
Producer Dil Raju is calm and composed though his new film ‘yevadu’ is set for a grand release on 31st of this month competing with Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Atharintiki Daaredi’ hitting the screens in a week gap on August 7th. At an official press meet arranged few minutes ago, Dil Raju conveyed his best wishes to ‘Atharintiki Daaredi’ unit confirming the date of release of ‘Yevadu’ as 31st with no change.

‘As Ramcharan is proving to be a commercial hero by delivering back to back blockbusters, we have no worries on ‘yevadu.’ Director Vamsy Paidipally’s hard work of one and half year can be sensed in this film. He is coming with an out and out mass entertainer. Actually, we have thought of postponing ‘yevadu’ but with ‘Atharintiki Daaredi’ and ‘Zanjeer’ release dates fixed, we could not find any other good date than this. However, there are instances in the past like release of ‘Gadar’ and ‘Lagaan’ happened in one day gap and they both became trendsetters. I hope the same will happen with ‘yevadu’ and ‘Atharintiki Daaredi.’ We are near to bag a big commercial success,’ Dil Raju explained.

Remuneration Confusion for Heroes!

Share
A few months ago, we heard that Young Rebel Star Prabhas would be offered Rs.20 crores remuneration for his ongoing movie ‘Baahubali’. Since he is going to give maximum number of dates for the project, and is likely to act next movie only after two years, the remuneration offered to Prabhas was said to be affordable. A few days ago, when pawan kalyan accepted to do a movie in PVP Cinemas, he was gossiped to have accepted a remuneration of Rs.20 crores.

And last but not the least, two days ago, a gossip was spread that Prince Mahesh Babu was offered Rs.20 crores remuneration by UTV Motion Pictures. No wonder, we may hear in next few days that Mega Power Star Ram Charan and Young Tiger NTR will also take Rs.20 crores for their next movies. Here the million dollar question is which hero is really offered that record remuneration? Likely, their hit stamina in forthcoming days reveal the facts.

BJP still not ready to name Modi as PM candidate

Share
India’s Bharatiya Janata Party is banking on the failures of the Congress-led UPA government to return to power, but is not yet ready to pronounce the controversial Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as its prime ministerial candidate.

“We are confident that the failure of the Congress government will help BJP return to power at the centre” after the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, party president Rajnath Singh told a press conference here Saturday at the start of a five-day US trip.

“Any political party that aspires to come to power should give good governance and satisfy the needs of the people. If they fail in this front, they will be out of power,” he said.

Asked why he himself was not being projected as the party’s prime ministerial candidate, Rajnath Singh said: “It’s not necessary that party president should also be a crowd puller and a prime ministerial candidate.”

“I have an assignment to do for my party. I have a job to deliver – that is victory of the party in the 2014 elections,” he said as he praised Modi as a “crowd puller” with national appeal, but stopped short of naming him as the man for the top job.

“He is a crowd puller not only in Gujarat but also in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, from North to South, East to West. He is one single leader with a national appeal. His popularity will help the party in the elections,” he said.

“I have named him as campaign head in view of his image, popularity and commitment to the party,” Rajnath Singh said, asking: “What is unusual in that? We have nominated Modi like other parties do… why read between lines?”

“I am more interested in getting the BJP back into power in centre and packing off the corruption-ridden bad governance of the Congress in my tenure as president of the party,” he said.

The BJP president also said that he would take up with US lawmakers in Washington this week the issue of denial of US visa to Modi in view of his alleged role in the 2002 Godhra riots.

“I will appeal to the US government to clear the US visa for the Gujarat chief minister,” he said.

Creative Director to Direct Chiru !

Share
Krishna Vamsi who is known for creative films like Gulabi,Sidhuram, Anthapuram, Khadgam, Ninnepelladuta is currently busy directing Paisa with young hero Nani. There were rumours that the the film is politically motivated and revolves around YS.Jagan Mohan Reddy.

He in his media interactions expressed his keenness to unveil ‘100%’ Mega Power by directing Mega Star Chiranjeevi. He felt that fans were treated with only 10% of Chiranjeevi’s acting power and filmmakers failed to show it to the optimum on silver screen. He said the ease in Chiranjeevi’s body is amazing and wished his desire to direct Mega Star.

Sources say earlier some producers tried bringing both of them together and even two to three sittings were done. However their wavelength did not match and the projects did not take place.
    

HC upset with leaks: Kiran may resign after ‘T’ decision

Share
Things appear to be happening fast on the Telangana front. On one side the Congress High Command –  particularly party president Sonia Gandhi and vice president Rahul Gandhi are said to be upset by the presentation of the Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy opposing the state bifurcation at the core committee meeting leaking into the media. It is learnt that the Congress High Command got intelligence reports on the leak and found that the leak was caused either by the Chief Minister himself or those close to him, at his behest. On the other hand, Kiran also is said to be determined not to preside over the bifurcation process, should the High Command decide to create Telangana.

Kiran is domiciled in Hyderabad. He was born and brought up here. Still if he were to get back to Assembly it would be the Andhra Assembly and not the Telangana Assembly, as his constituency is in Chittoor district. By championing the Telangana cause, Kiran would land in political wilderness. By resigning, Kiran could make a last minute attempt to stall state bifurcation. Even if he could not, he would emerge as a champion of the integration efforts. Both ways he would be a hero.

In the core committee meeting, Kiran while opposing state bifurcation, gave several convincing reasons. River water disputes, spurt in naxalism and communal forces rising their ugly heads are some of the noteworthy reasons he had put forth. He made a powerful one-hour presentation explaining why the state should not be divided. He also tried to meet Sonia Gandhi personally and present the case, but could not get her appointment.

Making a presentation was alright. Congress High Command told all players that they would be free to air their views, as the very purpose of the meeting was to know their opinions. But all the leaders were told to abide by the decision of the High Command. The party leadership also told them to keep the happenings of the meeting highly confidential. But details of the presentation of the Chief Minister had made their way into the media. This is what has upset the High Command.

Sources say that the Chief Minister was not worried about the High Command being upset about his stand or the leaks, as he had mentally decided to quit. This would be the only way for Kiran, if he were to remain in politics, say observers. He could continue as the Chief Minister of the state, presiding over the bifurcation process. But that would seal his fate in the Seemandhra region. People of his constituency or any other place in the Andhra region would not accept him. He would neither be accepted a leader in Telangana and might not even find a constituency to fight election from.

Graduate sets himself ablaze for Telangana

Share
Another youngster has sacrificed his life for the Telangana movement and this time in protest to the illogical proposals that’s been doing rounds.

G Vinod, a graduate who completed B-Tech from Jayaprakash Narayana engineering college, committed suicide at Kundur village of Veepangandla mandal on Sunday evening after getting upset with the growing strength to the new proposal ‘Rayala-Telangana’. On Sunday, Vinod had a serious debate with his friends on Telangana issue. Later, he went to his house and set himself ablaze.

In the suicide note, Vinod mentioned that he was immolating himself for strengthening the demand of Separate Telangana state. Cops have registered a case and sent the body for postmortem.

The delay in decision making of UPA Government on the burning issue like Telangana is taking the lives of innocent and young people in the region. Every sacrifice is a wake-up call for the Centre to make them take a decision as early as possible.

Ram Charan to meet his Co-star in Prison

Share
Sanjay Dutt who was undergoing the three-and-half years imprisonment at Yerwada jail in Pune has got a lot of visitors ever since he surrendered abiding by the Supreme Court’s judgment in connection with the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts. Now, few key members of his film unit will join the list.

It may be mentioned that before getting into the prison, Sanjay Dutt has played pivotal roles in few big ticket Hindi films including the remake of 1973 super hit ‘Zanjeer’ in which he got more footage than the original ‘Sher Khan’. As this high-octane cop flick is getting ready for release on September 6th Worldwide, Both Ram Charan and director Apoorva Lakhia decided to meet Sanjay in the prison to seek his approval and blessings.

For the same, Makers of ‘Zanjeer’ are going to file an application for getting the nod from the Yerwada jail officials to meet the senior actor in prison during the mulaqat time. Ram Charan has assured to the director that he will be available whenever the cops permit them to meet Sanjay Dutt.

Mahesh Babu’s 1 gets out of hand!

Share
Mahesh Babu’s next film 1 (Nenokkadine) has been on sets for so long. This film was supposed to release during April this year, but as per the latest news, 1 will make it to theaters only by Pongal, next year. This action extravaganza is being directed by Sukumar on a very high budget. As per the grapevine the cost of production of this film has gone out of hands.

If the buzz is to be believed, 1’s making cost will touch Rs. 65 crores, which is going to be the costliest ever film to be made in Telugu till date. Sukumar planned to make this film within Rs. 50 crore budget, but it has overshot due to numerous working days and high quality equipment and technicians involved. However, the producers of this film, who made Dookudu earlier are not at all compromising on the quality of the film.

It can be said that this film is being made on international standards and the makers say that 1 is going to surprise everyone with its mind boggling visuals and technical values. That said 65 crore is a huge investment even on Mahesh Babu’s film. It will be pretty hard to recover the money if the film is anything short of a blockbuster. Taking the confidence of producers into consideration we can expect a sure shot blockbuster in 1, thus proving Mahesh’s numero uno status yet again.

Zanjeer affect on Yevadu release!

Share
Producer Dil Raju has reiterated that Ram Charan-starrer Yevadu will release on July 31worldwide, which coincides with the release day of Charan’s erstwhile blockbuster Magadheera.

While there is great buzz doing rounds in film circles about the clash of titans in Mega family- Abbayi Ram Charan and Babayi Pawan Kalyan- as duo’s films Yevadu (July 31) and Attarinitiki Daaredi (Aug 7) will hit theatres within a difference of one week, Dil Raju is pretty confident on the success of both films. What’s more?

Ram Charan’s much anticipated Bollywood debut Zanjeer (Toophan in Telugu) which is due forSeptember 6 release, has its affect on release of his latest film Yevadu.

A source close to Dil Raju said, “Dil Raju tried his best to postpone Yevadu to avoid clash with another big-ticket film Attarinitiki Daaredi. But it didn’t work as Charan’s next film Zanjeer is hitting screens on Sep 6. If he has to postpone Yevadu, he could release the film only after two weeks after the release of Pawan’s film (i.e. after Aug 21) which again clash with Chara’s own film Zanjeer. So, nothing can be done as of now. Both films are hitting on announced dates.”

Even Mega fans, who are said to be separated as Pawan group and Chiru group, are eagerly looking forward to release of both films. Also trade pundits are excited to compare the collections of Abbayi and Baabayi! Let’s wait and watch.

Ram Charan Surprises Chief Minister

Share
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav who was on a two day visit to Hyderabad has met Chiranjeevi at his residence on Sunday. As Ram Charan too was at home when the Young CM came to his place, our Young Hero welcomed the politician and took part in the discussion on few interesting topics as well.

Akhilesh Yadav revealed that he used to watch Chiranjeevi’s films when he was studying in Mysore and like the way Megastar performs, dances and does stunts. He was surprised to see Ram Charan speaking fluent Hindi and appreciated him for remaking his favorite hero Amitabh Bachchan’s landmark film ‘Zanjeer’. He then jokingly said to Chiru, ‘Your Family Has Four Heroes, My Family Has Four Politicians’.

Later, Akhilesh covered the entire house of Chiru and showered praises for its unique design that gives a wide view of the city from all the four corners.

Seems like Akhilesh Yadav knows the tricks of growing from strength to strength as a politician. During his AP tour, He focussed on making as many friends as possible keeping an eye on the alliances at the National level after 2014 general elections. The visit to Chiru’s residence is just part of the game.

‘I’ll be killed if I say yes to Politics’

Share
TV anchor – actress – item girl Udaya Bhanu claims she has threat to her life if she enters into politics. While speculations about her political foray has been rife for a time, Bhanu set the record straight in a recent interview to a leading English Tabloid. “I may be killed if I enter into politics. My bold and frank attitude doesn’t fit politics. I’ve got a few offers from leading political parties and was also offered gifts from them which I declined to take up. If I join traditional politics, then I can’t be part of change I expected to do. I’ve no plans to join politics. I will fight against problems with my pen and songs.”

Bhanu’s latest folk ‘revolutionary’ song, which she wrote, composed tune and sung in MAA TV’s ‘Rela re Rela’, has been talking point and it’s made her a sought after figure in political and social circles. “My song is not subjected to just any one particular region or group. It’s based on the plight of people across borders. I didn’t target any individual or any specific political party. It’s about political leaders across parties.”

But her song had been removed soon after a day it was put on YouTube. Ask her about it. She fumes, “While YouTube has porn content and vulgar videos, why can’t it boast my folk song which depicts common man’s plight? In fact, I fear to search my name in Google as I know what are the words search engine shows after my name.”

Allari Naresh Kevvu Keka Movie Review – 1.5/5

Share

Rating : 1.5/5
Title: Kevvu Keka
Cast: Allari Naresh, Sharmila Mandre, Ashish Vidhyardhi, Kiran Rathod, Krishna Bhagavan and others
Directed by : Devi Prasad
Produced by : Boppana Chandrasekha
Banner : Jahnavi Productions
Music : Bheems
Release Date : 2013-07-19

Story 

Buchiraju (Allari Naresh) is an ordinary salesman who falls in love with a middle class girl Mahalakshmi (Sharmila). She too loves Buchiraju but her father (MS Narayana) is a greedy person who dreams of having a rich guy as his son in law. Mahalakshmi lies that Buchiraju is a billionaire and when her father comes to know about the truth he gives six months time to Buchiraju to earn crores. Now Buchiraju goes on a mission to win his love.

Performances :

Allari Naresh is not new to this type of roles. He has done many characters that are similar to this and he simply sleep walked through the film. Sharmila is a very bad actress and awful dubbing given to her makes it a nightmarish debut. Ali is fine and MS Narayana is standard. Asish Vidhyardhi fails big time. Krishna Bhagavan is just about okay. There is nothing much to say about remaining star cast.

Technicalities :

Dialogues are unbearable. Major failure from the dialog write. Cinematography is poor and so is the editing. Soundtrack is pathetic and the background score is even bad. Production values are substandard. Director Devi Prasad failed big time. He has given few decent comedy films in the past, but this time he is out of sorts. Even with an ensemble cast at his hand, the director fails to make use of them. He should soon forget about this film and pull his socks up to deliver a better comedy. This film is a huge setback to the director who is yet to get a break.

Analysis :
Kevvu Keka has disaster written allover it. The way the film takes off gives you a clear picture of what is going to follow. Awful screenplay technique used to narrate the story gets on your nerves and every character that is introduced only increases the boredom. The film is supposed to be a comedy, but none of the scenes or dialogue manages to put a smile on the audience face.

Director promises a laugh riot at the interval point and if you hope for things to get better in the second half, you will be disappointed even more. Second half is a sheer pain with cliched comedy scenes and bad performances. Not a single episode clicked and lived up to the cause. A lengthy climax sequence is a killer punch on the audience who wait until the end.

Kevvu Keka is easily one of the worst films of this year so far and will rank amongst the worst ever Allari Naresh films. This film cannot be watched on DVD too even on Fast Forward mode. This will disappear from theaters within no time and maybe the makers have already guessed it. Hence there is no publicity at all. Watch it at your own peril.

Verdict :  Viewers will shout out loud in pain!

CM and PCC chief betrayed T

Share
Once again there is nuch hue and cry over the leaking of the T  road maps submitted by the three Andhra leaders  last week to the   Core Committee meeting on Telangana .  The Panchayat Raj Minister Jana Reddy  who is  totally hostile to  CM  Kiran now says  that Kiran  should be  punished for his  lack of party discipline and  indiscretion . How can he dole out his copy of confidential presentation to selective media?

Telangana congress MPs   V. Hanumantha Rao, Rapolu Ananda Bhaskar, Ponnam Prabhakar, Palvai Govardhan Reddy and Rajaiah met Jana Reddy at his chamber in Secretariat and shared his views on  CM and others  indiscretion  . ‘ It is only such lousy  cowardly leadership that has ruined  Telangana all along ‘ they lamented .

He said it was leaders like  CM and the other Duo who had  let down the confidence of people of Telagnana and other regions  by their indiscretion .

Sources said the   Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy, PCC chief Botsa Satyanarayana and Deputy CM Damodara Raja Narasimha all had  submitted   divergent  roadmaps on the contentious issue to the core committee members  and stunned them . ‘ Just imagine the confusion and difference of opinion among these three and what should be gross  indulgence by others and detractors “ Sonia Gandhi had said at the meeting .

Pawan Kalyan’s fate bonds with Jr NTR

Share
If there is something no human being can fight it is fate and destiny. And even the big superstars are no exception to it. Tollywood is currently witnessing the lives of two big heroes and how things have been changing on their personal front. They are Pawan Kalyan and Junior NTR. In fact, both are considered the best crowd pullers in the industry.

At the same time, it looks like both their fates are bonded with each other for a common reason, family problems. Till recently the news was about differences between Junior NTR and the Nandamuri family. Many are saying the breakup is clear. Now, it looks like Pawan Kalyan is also on the same track.

The audio release function of ‘Attarintiki Daaredi’ has proved that things are not at all smooth between Pawan and mega family. Not one member of the family was invited and it cannot get clearer than this. What now remains to be seen is how both NTR and Pawan will prove to others about their strength and following without family support.
