Pawan’s uninterrupted ‘Power Supply’

Share
Tollywood hero Pawan Kalyan is not the one to be perturbed by the happening around him. He has his own set of goals and aims and works for the fulfillment of his mission. Even if some obstacles come inbetween he never loses his focus. That was the reason that even after so many flops he worked with single minded devotion for each of his film. After Panjaa many wrote him off but then he created a sensation becoming a trendsetter coming as Gabbar Singh.

In all his films there will be some subtle message to the society. Similarly his latest release ‘Cameraman Gangato Rambabu’ contained some message to the society but in doing so, some felt that he crossed his limits. Puri however did not felt so and even thought of going to High Court to prove his point. But Pawan cooled his tempers and with utmost coolness started working for his next projects undeterred by the controversy of Cameraman.

Currently buzz is he will be seen as Chota Mestri under Sampath Nandi’s direction and Hare Rama Hare Krishna under Trivikram Srinivas direction. Just like when we turn on switch, power flows, when a director comes with a storyline, Pawan will be full of adrenaline with his uninterrupted ‘Power Supply’ unaffected by the happenings in the surroundings.

Naidu leading a herd of sheep?

Share
Chandra Babu Naidu is looking for resurgence in TDP and in the process trying all means and tricks up in his sleeve. As a last resort he undertook 117days padayatra so that there will be complete turnaround in the party’s fortunes in the run up for 2014 elections. Many people and analysts are also seen commenting that padayatra bought in lot of change in the perception of Chandrababu Naidu. In his earlier speeches he only used to say one proverb saying it is not important whether the cat is black or white, what matters more is whether it can catch rats or not.

Now after the padayatra, Chandrababu found out a startling truth about his ‘Tammullu’ in the party. In one of his speeches he said “During my Padayatra at one place an animal went around a lady who was working in a farm. Wherever she used to go, the animal followed her. Our party cadre is not having the trust of the animal towards party leadership”. Listening to Babu’s words one worker clapped his hands and seeing him, all others started clapping in unison. When PRP was formed TDP cadre jumped into it with foresight and now they are doing the same into YSRCP.One doesn’t know whom was Babu targeting when he made that comment but many feel he revealed bitter truth about TDP party and its cadre.

Tarak targeting Jr and Sr NTRs?

Share
Tarakratna from Nandamuri family is preparing for grand strike to score sensational hit and shut the mouths of all his detractors. He made his debut iwith ‘Okato Number Kurradu’ and recently came with ‘Nandeeswarudu’ but nothing worked out for him unlike other Nandamuri heroes. This time however he is saying ‘Nenu Chala Worst’ and hopes his negative publicity will work positively for him. His film was launched yesterday in a grand manner and he will be donning the role of ‘Yama’ God of Death. This role is glorified in the industry by Sr NTR and more recently by Jr NTR. Now Tarak is targeting both Sr and Jr NTRs and by mesmerizing all with his performance he want to show who is the God in tollywood.
 
Tarak is currently starring in ‘Mike Testing 143’ and also in ‘Chudalani Cheppalani’. It has to be seen whether he will be able to emerge successful with his riveting performance as ‘Yama’. Tarak during the release of his previous film ‘Nadeeswarudu’ in front of full media gaze went overboard and ballistic asking everyone to address him as NTR. He later corrected himself that he like them to call like that only for the film. However the film went without any trace. Now it has to be seen what measures he is taking to taste his first victory.

Cong,TDP finds Operation Akarsh unstoppable

Share

Late CM YS.Rajasekhar Reddy after winning 2009 elections started ‘Operation Akarsh’. With him in power, he targeted TDP and TRS parties to increase his strength. Many MLAs and MPs along with cadre used to move closely at that time including PRP leader Chiranjeevi. Many used to comment after his sudden demise that had he been there for another 6 months TRS would have been wiped out and TDP decimated. But it did not happen and TRS emerged stronger whipping telangana sentiments while TDP is trying for resurgence.

However ‘Operation Akarsh’ left incomplete by YSR is in full swing now thanks to his son YS.Jagan for his party YSRCP. Try what may exodus from TDP and Cong is not stopping. Cong tried to stem with Cabinet expansion in which it has given utmost importance to state and TDP leader Babu undertook padayatra to rejenuvate party cadre. But it did not have any effect as TDP leader Karra Rajarao and his rival in Cong party Chintalapudi MLA Rajesh joining YSRCP.

Party sources say if it continues no one can save them from YSRCP. They say that at one time more than 50 MLAs used to support Jagan and due to some corrective steps his support waned. However not it again started to swell due to group politics. Wonder what steps TDP and COng will take to stem its outflow of leaders to YSRCP.

Why Mega fans read too much behind lines?

Share
Fans always die for their heroes as they visualize themselves in them and consider them as their own mirror image. However there is limit for everything. In the name of hero worship if fans do social activities like blood donation, provide free education, food for poor etc people will appreciate and it will also bring good name to their heroes. However when they read between the statements of other stars and try to attack them rather than taking them in the right spirit then problems arises.
 
Tollywood young hero Rana who made his debut with Leader and then featured in flims like Nenu Naa Rakshasi, Naa Ishtam, Dum Maro Dum,Department is still looking for success and is coming with Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum. When scribes asked why he did not score a hit, he drew comparison with Megastar and said only 40% of his films were mega hits and one can not predict whether a film would be a success or hit.
 
There is nothing wrong in the statement but mega fans are up in their arms canvassing that Rana insulted their hero. Rana only said one can not predict the fate of the film and not all films would become hit.

Reliance-Sonia nexus eliminate opponents?

Share
In any country, Corporate Political nexus is quite common and during general elections top corporate fund parties which they expect to come to power so that Govt policies will be in favor of them. This could be noticed even in US and other foreign countries. India is no different and the clout Reliance Industries enjoys with top political leaders and parties cutting across parties is known to all. This is not the case with other renowned companies and that is where the problem lies. No company or organization stall the Govt decisions in favor of Reliance.
 
Reliance is unearthing huge amounts of gas resources from KG Basin in Andhra Pradesh but still it will not reduces gas prices. It generates artificial scarcity when ever it wants Govt to increase power. The then Petroleum Minister Jaipal Reddy checkmated Reliance plans and even ordered CAG inquiry on its companies. However it successfully stalled all his moves and even shunted him out of the ministry.
 
Now this move itself raises pertinent questions over YS.Rajasekhar Reddy,late CM of Andhra Pradesh’s mysterious death. There were allegations and even reports that Reliance was behind his death in collusion with Sonia as he took them and their might headon with even caring his high command and Sonia. Till now facts did not come out and now that Reilance power came out in open, this issue would be coming out in open with YSRCP waiting to pounce on Congress and Sonia.

Mohan Babu insults Brahmins?

Share
Collection King Mohan Babu is over the moon with his son Manchu Vishnu scoring a good hit after a long time with ‘Denikaina Ready’. Now he is going hammer and tongs at who ever is opposing him. Right after the verdict on the film is out and it was declared a hit by film critics and trade analysts, he once again threatened to drag Regional Officer of Censor Board, Dhanalakshmi to court for referring his film to review committee just hours before the day of release. He even went on to allege that she and her husband seems to be corrupt as ACB conducted raids on them.
 
Denikaina Ready has many dialogues that directly and indirectly makes fun of Brahmins and some even hurt their feelings. One such incident is Brahmin lady going overboard with any male she interacts saying he is like her husband. Brahmin organizations started protesting against the film and yesterday they took out a procession shouting slogans against Mohan Babu and Manchu Vishnu at his house.However he was not in his house as he went to offer prayers at temple along with Vishnu at Nellore.
 
Responding to the allegations Mohan Babu said he would never hurt any caste and the film is a decent comedy entertainer. On the protests he said they were not Brahmins and even if they are, they are poor Brahmins who come for alms and had he been there he would have taken care of them. One wonder how could Mohan Babu miss the dialogues, scenes of chicken and haleem with Brahmins in his film. Wonder what will be the answer from Mohan Babu on this.
 

Vishnu ‘Ready’ for success strikes

Share
Manchu Vishnu who has been reeling under string of flops finally delighted Manchu fans and movie lovers when his film ‘Denikaina Ready’ starring Hansika Motvani was declared a decent hit at the box office by the trade analysts. Film critics gave thumbs up for the comedy in the film which revolved around Brahmanandam. They even lauded the performance of Vishnu who vastly improved his expressions and dancing capabilities. This bought smiles to the Manchu family.

Now even more encouraging reports coming from the box office that it is overtaking even Power Star Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Cameraman Gangato Rambabu’ in collections. Film makers revealed that the film crossed Vishnu’s successful starrer ‘Dhee’ collections in just five days. Now Vishnu has decided to stick to his strength which is comedy rather than try some thing new and burn his hands. So he is getting ready for success strikes on silver screen soon with film makers queuing for the young hero with some interesting scripts. Now it is for Vishnu to plan his career in a right manner so that he won’t deviate from the success path.

Now Manchu family hopes that with Vishnu and Lakshmi proving their mettle, Manoj also find his lady luck soon.

Damarukam in dumps!

Share
King Nagarjuna’s much awaited socio fantasy wonder ‘Damarukam’ created ripples couple of weeks back when its release dates were announced. Movie lovers and analysts waited with bated breath for the spectacular show down between Nagajuna’s ‘Damarukam’ and Power Star Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Cameraman Gangato Rambabu’. However Damarukam got postponed and many at that time felt that it was Power Star mania that prompted film makers to postpone the release of the film. Even when Cameraman was struck with controversy, Damarukam film makers did not dare to release the film prompting speculations that Damarukam has been left in dumps.

It was even rumored that King Nagarjuna also lost interest in the project and is concentrating on his romantic entertainer ‘Love Story’ and ‘Bhai’. Film analysts point out that it was the fault of RR.Movie Makers who plunged into losses with its funds stuckup in other projects which resulted in the delay in the project and leading to uncertainty over the future of the film. Many started speculating on the rift between producer and director vis a vis Nagarjuna.

Srinivas Reddy who directed the film said in a tense tone ‘I am shocked to hear the false stories circulated in media. When they are reporting of Rs. 15 Crores spent just on graphics, I can’t bear that. We have just invested Rs. 6 to 7 Crores. It is our wonderful planning and execution of Firefly team we came out with good quality in least budget. Others could have easily spend double than us for the same outcome. Even there are no differences between any of our producer R. Venkat, hero Nagarjun and my self,’

Telangana to see no deadlines!

Share
Now that the message is loud and clear that there won’t be any decision from Union Govt on telangana formation, many people and even political analysts feel that telangana people will not see any deadlines set by political parties. Till date all political leaders cutting across parties used to set deadlines linking telangana with festivals. They used to issue statements that next year people will be celebrating the festival in telangana state or some used to say before the arrival of that festival, announcement on telangana formation from Union Govt would come. All this turned to be false till now.
 
However when all powerful KCR himself became laughing stock with Union Govt taking him for a ride, all political parties and leaders understood the ground realities and realized that if they try to fool people by issuing statements linking festivals with formation of telangana state, people will not believe them and it may in fact boomerang on them. That was the reason why political parties and leaders maintained low profile during dasara celebrations.
They are now aware that with elections nearing in 2014, people will not be bothered by telangana sentiment and will be more concerned about basic amenities and also rise in prices of essential commodities. That was the reason why Chandra Babu and Sharmila undertook yatras.s.
