Remarks not against Chiranjeevi, against all political parties

April 24, 2013

Actor Mohan Babu denied that the comments he made recently were against the union minister Chiranjeevi.

It may be recalled that Mohan Babu said he has neither any plans to launch a new party nor the intention to earn money through it. He charged that all the political parties were collecting money for giving tickets. It was said immediately that he was referring to Chiranjeevi as it was alleged that Allu Aravind collected money for giving PRP tickets when the Mega Star launched the party.

But Mohan Babu has now said his remarks were not against Chiranjeevi. He maintained that the union minister was a close friend of his. He however said that it was fact that all the political parties were collecting money to give tickets. On his political plans, he said his decision to reenter politics was the decision of God. He however said that he would not be able to say which party he would join, as of now.

However, it is being said that all was set for Mohan Babu to join the YSR Congress as he met Jagan in the Chanchalguda jail and alleged that he was illegally jailed.

Especially Yuvasamarat Nagarjuna is quite impressed with Anoop’s work and offered him two big ventures. Anoop now will be handling music for ‘Hello Brother’ remake with Naga Chaitanya and the three generation Akkineni heroes’ multi starrer film ‘Manam’. Currently Anoop is busy with Sushanth’s ‘Adda’.

The formal muhurath of Hello Brother remake took place few days ago. It was a low key affair. The movie will go on to sets very soon. Damarukam fame Srinivas Reddy will be wielding megaphone for this project.

Mass Maharaja’s risk with flop director

April 24, 2013

Ravi Teja’s flop track started with ‘Veera’ film and he went to deliver 6 flops last year. And now he had pinned all hopes on his Balupu movie which is gearing up for release this Summer. But Ravi Teja’s future does not seems healthy. He has signed a new project with none other than ‘Veera’ director Ramesh Varma. ‘Multi-dimensions’ banner will produce the film. The movie will go to sets next month.

Interestingly Ravi Teja gave a chance to Harish Shankar after ‘Shock’. ‘Mirapakai’ clicked at box office, hopefully this tactic of Ravi Teja will work. We wish Ravi Teja all the best for this risky endeavour!
