One more Mega hush up?

Share

Union minister Chiranjeevi has been facing a series of headaches from members of the Mega family, who are also celebrities ever since he joined the politics. The former Mega Star who was recently embarrassed by the roadside tiff his son and hero Ram Charan picked up, is now facing another controversy when his brother-in-law Allu Aravind’s son and debutant hero Allu Sirish’s name figured in a drunken brawl in a Pub in Jubilee Hills. It caused quite an embarrassment to the family as the woman who complained against him happened to be a disco jacky (DJ). Though media reports said Allu Sirish was among the 3 drunken youth who harassed the woman, he is claiming that he did not know that woman at all.

Chiranjeevi is known to be a very soft-natured person, who was never known to have hurt anyone. Still he became the target of attacks and controversies after he joined politics. He has been facing some controversy or the other. On the early days of his political career, his daughter’s love issue became a big topic of discussion in the entire state. Now two incidents involving his son Ram Charan and nephew Sirish have caused unnecessary embarrassment to him at a time when he was reportedly aspiring for the post of the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh.

It may be recalled that his son Mega Power Star Ram Charan was charged of having two IT professional beaten up by his guards at the Taj Krishna hotel in Hyderabad recently.  Though the IT professionals initially charged Ram Charan of having them beaten up, they later apparently compromised and told the media that it was not a serious incident. Ram Charan on his part has alleged that the youth themselves behaved improperly and had later apologized. Then it was said that Chiranjeevi used his influence as Union Minister and his Mega Power to have the case hushed up. Several people in the film industry also said though Ram Charan was not at fault, as a celebrity, he should not have turned emotional and joined an issue with passers by on a road.

Now a fresh allegation was made against Allu Sirish, upcoming hero of the Mega family. When some youth harassed a woman in a pub at Jubilee Hills on Saturday at around midnight, some how the name of Sirish came out. Several TV channels said the woman complaineed against a film hero and deduced that it was Allu Sirish. However, police had not confirmed about the infovement of Sirish.  Sirish also said he did not know any such woman and there was no truth in reports that he was among the group that had misbehaved with the lady. Stating that his name was mentioned by mistake, Sirish lamented that it became common for dragging celebrities into unnecessary controversies. He said he only spent half-an-hour in the pub and had not entered into any controversy with anyone during the time. He requested the media not to drag him into unnecessary controversies.

Despite Sirish’s clarification, it is being said that Mega Power was once again used to hush up this case also.

Prema Katha Chitram Review – 2.75/5

Share
 

Rating: 2.75/5.0
Casting: Sudheer Babu, Nanditha, Hansika Motwani, Pradeep, Ranadheer and others
Banner: Maruthi Media House,RPA Creations
Producer: Maruti,Sudarshana Reddy P
Director: J Prabhakar Reddy
Music: JB

Story:

Sudheer (Sudheer Babu) on his way to commit suicide meets Nandu ( Nandita), Pravin ( Pravin), Saptagiri(Giri) who are also in the same mission. They enter an empty guest house  where they try to implement their suicide plans.

What happens next should be found on big screen.

Performance:

Performance Sudheer Babu though came with improved performance and even gave glimpse of his dancing talent, he has miles to go in scoring marks as a actor.He improved his voice modulation.

Nandita once again showcased her acting  talent. She is the highlight in the film. Giri,Praveen’s comedy worked out well in the film.

Plus Points:

  • Interesting plot
  • Nandita’s performance
  • Comedy of Praveen,Giri

Minus Points:

  • Slow introduction
  • Weak climax

Analysis:

Though Prabhakar Reddy directed the film, everyone waited how Maruti stamp his class as he presided over him. Surprisingly he reduced his ‘A’ content dramatically. Even horror content is limited and in the end a message was sent that rapists have no right to live.

Since many go to this film without any epectations they will be surprised with the twists and turns. More than the horror which is the central plot, people will like the clean comedy.But routine climax and slow pace are the only draw backs.

Final Talk:

Premakatha Chitram is a full comedy entertainer

Tears rolled from Sabitha’s eyes.

Share
Tears welled up the eyes of former home minister Sabita Indra Reddy when she attended the CBI court in connection with the Dalmia angle of the Jagan assets case, in which she was named accused.

It is the first time for Sabita to appear in the court. She looked serious and reserved to herself. She has not shown interest in talking to anyone. Though Jagan greeted her, she initially not responded. She then greeted him. When the CBI filed memo seeking her judicial custody, tears rolled from her eyes.

Followers arrested

A large number of followers of Sabita apart from her son Kartik accompanied her to the court. When the followers raised slogans, the court was disturbed. On the directions of the judge, police tried to remove them from the court’s vicinity. When they were adamant, police arrested them and shifted to the police station.

YSR Congress chief Y S Jaganmohan Reddy appeared before the CBI special court here on Friday, in connection with the charge-sheet against Dalmia Cements, in connection with his assets case. The court posted further hearing of the case to June 21.

CBI has filed a memo, asking that the former ministers Sabita Indra Reddy and Dharmana Prasada Rao be sent to judicial custody. The agency argued that if the two remained out, they were likely to influence the witnesses. If the court concedes CBI’s contention, the two are likely to be arrested. Both Sabita and Dharmana, who were recently made to resign, attended the court, apart from Vijaya Sai Reddy, second accused in Jagan assets case, whose bail was recently cancelled.
