As pledged by him the other day, TRS President K Chandrasekhar Rao’s son K Taraka Ramarao has lodged a defamation suit on ABN Andhrajyothy news channel and news paper. He lodged a petition in Nampally Court in connection with this.

Earlier ABN channel and newspaper published reports that apparently stated that KTR was involved in land settlements and also stressed that they have full proofs of the happenings including KTR’s involvement. TRS leaders however responded to this story saying both TDP chief Naidu and ABN MD Radhakrishna joined hands to malign the chances of TRS in the region.

Stunning the aged-top stars in the Industry, Kajal who turned 28 recently announced her birthday resolution. “During my initial days in the Film Industry, I had done films with newcomers and upcoming heroes.

The heroes I would be paired opposite should not only be top stars but also must be young enough. This will be my first condition,” revealed the beauty.

It’s very clear that Kajal has directed the Tollywood filmmakers to approach her from now if the film’s lead in one among Mahesh Babu, Pawan Kalyan, Jr NTR, Ram Charan, Prabhas and Allu Arjun. All the rising stars and aged stars need not have to waste time for the call sheets of this seductress anymore.

Great! Naidu Arranges Special Flight

Share
With Chandrababu Naidu going to Delhi and meeting Uttarkhand victims and other Telugu people at AP Bhavan, Congress party started blaming that the TDP President is politicizing the issue. Also they started blaming that as Naidu is not in power he cannot do anything in Uttarakhand. But here is what this most charismatic leader will do.

It is not matter of politics, and it is not matter of attracting people. When it comes to Telugudesam president Chandrababu Naidu, it is always a matter of humanity and serving people is his priority. Like no other politician in this state, Naidu has now arranged a special flight for people who are finding it difficult to reach Hyderabad from Delhi after escaping the calamity in Uttarakhand. A special flight to carry 198 passengers will air lift them to Hyderabad and from there TDP cadres will make arrangement to go to their respective native places. Also Telugudesam is arranging special call centres to monitor the happenings.

The flight is scheduled to take off from Delhi today evening and the entire expense for these arrangements will be taken up by Telugudesam party only. Has anyone in the state and any other political party has come up with such an initiative? So, TDP’s detractors should at least try to understand what are politics and what is humanity.

Bollywood star Salman Khan might face a 10-year jail term in the hit-and-run case that took place in the year 2002.

On Monday, A Mumbai court has delivered the verdict that Salman’s hit-and-run case will be treated as ‘culpable homicide not amounting to murder’ and the actor will be imprisoned for 10 years if the charges leveled against him were proven. He was given a month’s time to appear in court.

In 2002, Salman has allegedly rammed his Toyota Land Cruiser vehicle onto a pavement near a bakery, ended up killing a person and causing severe injuries to four others. The actor was drunk at that time and the blood samples showed 60 mg alcohol which is beyond the permissible limit.

In the FIR, a charge of ‘death by negligence’ (section 304A of IPC) was leveled against the actor initially, that provides a maximum of two years in jail. In January this year, the court that’s been handling the case felt that police has provided enough evidence to upgrade the charges and changed it to ‘culpable homicide not amounting to murder’ which is a serious crime. Salman filed a petition challenging the decision of magistrate to upgrade his case. In a major setback to the star, the sessions court has now ruled out the chances of reducing the charges leveled against him. The final judgement will be pronounced in the next few months.

By saying she has no issues with anyone of her contemporary actresses, Anjali cleverly came up with satires on the leading glam dolls in the Industry.

To a question on why she was only doing homely roles onscreen in one of her recent interviews, Anjali opined that anyone can be a glam doll and the actresses who are bagging big ticket films are able to do so solely on the merit of being glamorous. ‘I want to carve a niche for myself in the Industry by playing performance oriented roles. I will never sign a film which follows the ‘four songs, two scene’ formula. I have been like this since my debut and even audience expect the same from me. I can’t let them down,’ the actress added.

In the end, Anjali clarified she isn’t averse to playing glamorous roles but would consider them at a later stage in her career. Right now, she is keen on establishing herself as an actress with substance.

When asked if she is competing for the title ‘Queen of Tolywood’, Our onscreen Seetha stated there are so many queens right now and I don’t know about the race they have been part of! She even ruled out the chances of competing with anyone, instead wants to be a known as a good actor.

Is TDP protecting Jagan Indirectly

Share
TDP leaders are worried that their plan against the YSR Congress chief Y S Jaganmohan Reddy using the tainted ministers issue, boomeranged on them.

By demanding the ouster of the ministers facing charges in the Jagan assets case, TDP felt it could nail both Jagan and the Congress. But on the other hand, YSRCP legislators succeeded in using the same issue to project Jagan as innocent. They questioned how Jagan who played no part in the administration could be kept in a jail, while the ministers who issued GOs were left alone.

Responding to the demand of the TDP, the Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy said the ministers were innocent. He argued that they had not violated any law. YSR Congress argued how then Jagan could have violated any law. If the ministers acted within the limits of law by issuing those controversial GOs, how could Jagan be blamed of violating any law, they questioned. This unexpected contention shocked the TDP leaders. Leaders started doubting if they were inadvertently supporting Jagan.

Minister Kanna Lakshmi Narayana has even questioned if the TDP colluded with the YSR Congress as both the parties were voicing the same demand. This threw TDP off balance. They had no answer for the minister’s question.

Thinking deeply about the issue, TDP leaders are now reportedly thinking that stretching the tainted ministers issue too far, would only help Jagan. Instead of harping on the issue, the TDP leaders now reportedly decided to enlighten the people that it was due to their efforts that ministers Sabita Indra Reddy and Dharmana Prasada Rao were made to resign. They also wish to tell the people that the Chief Minister was trying to shield ministers who helped Jagan amass wealth and create an impression that it was the Congress and the YSR Congress that were in collusion.

Mahesh babu Fans Upset

Share
Mahesh babu has many times repeatedly explained his strong opinion of never to touch any of his dad Super Star Krishna�s super hit films for remakes. Media continuously buzzed and Fans pressed Mahesh to go at least for one remake in order to satisfy them but the actor never responded positively. �I do not want to spoil those iconic films,� was the reply from Mahesh. This shows his respect towards Krishna and his film.

These days with the entry of Sudheer Babu, looks like the calculations are changed and the �Prema Katha Chithram� hero does not have any inhibitions in speaking his thoughts with an open mind. �I want to act in the remake �Alluri Seetharamaraju� but I do not know, whether it is possible or not,� is the single line from Sudheer which has upset the mahesh babu Fans. Now, Sudheer Babu also signed a new film titled as �Mayadari Malligadu� in direction of a new comer. This is the title of Krishna�s hit film of past. Now, we have to wait and see�whether the newer version will have nay story shades of older or not?

Is Sampoo a failure in Andhra Pradesh

Share
After an interaction with few of the friends in USA, we heard that Telugu NRIs there are eagerly waiting for new updates on release date of Sapoornesh Babu�s �Hrudaya Kaleyam.� Though, this movie could be a bizarre spoof on our Star Telugu Heroes and their action filmy concepts but Sampoo has garnered a good following which could ignite the BO and generate revenues.

But, how far is pulse of domestic Telugu audience same as NRI Telugus? Yes, none in B, C centers are aware of who this sampoornesh babu is? In fact, some sections of public in Metros and A centers; who never get directly in touch with Internet or Social Networking doesn�t even know this name of Burning Star. Better, Sampoo should begin his mass promotions on TV and Print Media else all his hard work done on Net may go futile because one cannot release a movie completely trusting just on NRIs. For the moment, Sampoo is a failure in Andhra Pradesh and a hit in America.
