Nag insults genex heroines

Share
King Nagarjuna bought out his male chauvinism when he chose to insult all genex heroines during the celebrations of ‘Shirdi Sai’ success meet. While addressing media he spoke on many topics and it invariably ended at why present heroes are shying away from starring in the remake of yesteryear classic ‘Gundamma Kadha’. The film which starred NTR and ANR turned out to be a stunning hit.
Nag replying elaborately on the film and the remake discussions said earlier he and Balakrishna planned to do the film and later media started speculating whether Naga Chaitanya and NTR would star in the remake. Now they are going ahead looking for future and speculating whether Akhil and Mokshagna would star in the film. He ruled out all the permutations and combinations saying that remaking the great hit would be a great risk and is near impossible.
He reasoned out that though stars may be willing to feature in the remake of ‘Gundamma Kadha’, of the present generation heroines none could match the caliber of Suryakantam who made Gundamma role immortal. Many feel that his comments are ill timed and reason out that had someone thought the none can match the performance of Anjali Devi as Seetha in ‘Lava Kusa’, Nayanatara wouldn’t have got the opportunity to showcase her skills in ‘Sri Rama Rajyam’. Analysts suggests that instead of speculating, if heroines are offered performance oriented roles they can prove their mettle as was shown by Anushka in films like Arundhati, Vedam etc.

Tollywood’s parallel ‘Love Stories’

Share
Tollywood was witness to many love stories over the years but they might not have witnessed parallel love stories in reel and real life simultaneously. It is known that King Nagarjuna came out of devotional avatar of ‘Shirdi Sai’ and is now scripting his new ‘Love Story’ with natural beauty Nayanatara. K.Dasarath who presented ‘Santosham’ to Nagarjuna is directing the film. Nag and Nayan is romancing in scenic beauty of Switzerland where he will be dancing to the tunes of Thaman.
While this is about reel life ‘Love Story’ of Nag and Nayan, another real life love story is shaking tollywood. Hot hunk Rana who is busy with ‘Krishnam vande Jagadgurum’ is in hot romantic mood with tempting beauty Trisha. There were lot of stories written on them and Trisha vehemently denied including the marriage stories.
However T-town says the alleged couple was spotted partying again recently. The actors, who have been claiming that they are just good friends, were seen at a private bash in Hyderabad. A close source says ‘They were by each other’s side throughout the party,”. This is not the first time that this love pair is seen together. They were first spotted together at a New Year’s bash in Goa and later, at a couple of other hotspots in Chennai and Hyderabad.

VH speaks about ‘Duplicate Diary’

Share
V.Hanumantha Rao who is on a mission to ‘Save Cong’ seems to be waging a lone battle. Though he made many representations to various top notch leaders in Cong high Command and even to Sonia Gandhi, asking them not to attend the launch of YSR diary organized by KVP.Ramachandra Rao, none heeded his advice. Infact all chose to attend the meet and turned it a grand success. In spite of the failure of his mission VH as he is lovingly called chose not to leave abandon his mission.
He chose to attack KVP saying the YSR diary launched by KVP is a fake and ‘Duplicate Diary’. He says KVP misled the facts and revealed that KVP sent one copy to him also but vowed not to study the ‘Duplicate Diary’. He said KVP took Cong High Command and Sonia Gandhi for a ride and alleged that KVP created an impression that YSR wrote a diary during his ‘Padayatra’ though he never wrote one. He requested High Command to rethink on important stature accorded to KVP. It has to be seen who in Cong high command will heed to VH. Many feel that VH’s clout with Cong high command is on decline though he is a AICC leader and RS MP.

Cracks war between Botsa and Chiru

Share
Congress is nothing new for battles and wars and people, media will be always treated with one or the other fascinating battle. Now as such ‘Cracks War’ is on between buddies APCC chief Botsa Satyanarayana and Megastar Chiranjeevi. It is well known that recently while all attended the YSR book launch by KVP in Delhi, Chiru chose to flew from Delhi to Hyd only to stay away from the meet. It was strange policy adopted by Chiru as many ministers and even small leaders competed with each other to present at the spectacular launch of YSR dairy.
Instead Chiru attended a meet ‘Save Cong’ organized by V.Hanumantha Rao. Though many say all CM Kiran’s detractors attended YSR book launch, his supporters organized the meet to have a dig at YSR and their supporters, coverts in the party. But it is a known fact that even VH do not share cordial relationships with Kiran. Chiru got over excited in the meet and was extremely vocal in his criticism saying that there were lot of cracks in the Cong party and some are insulting mother who has been serving delicious food (portfolios). Chiru said he is on mission to clean Cong with big heart.
Now these comments became bone of contention as Botsa chose to respond to Chiru’s comments. He said he couldn’t understand Chiru’s big heart and took air out of Chiru saying that there are no cracks in Cong and the party or its house is not in shackles. When asked on Chiru’s comments that Cong is in trouble, he shot back which party is not in trouble. Surely it seems Chiru landed himself in trouble.

TTD’s ‘Love’ muharts for members

Share
TTD which overseas the activities in country’s richest temple Tirumala, launched a program ‘Kalyanamastu’ for the benefit of the poor. The aim of the program is to enable poor to perform marriages in unison in the presence of Lord. However the board members are deciding marriage muharats according to their whims and fancies causing great inconvenience to devotees and taking them for a ride. They decide muhurats for Kalyanamastu and fix one time and decide different times and muhurats for each member to get sworn in, in their respective posts.
TTD in a meeting, long time back arrived at a decision that ‘Kalyanamastu’ is only for community and large scale marriages and there will be only one muhurat time and one can not pressurize board for multiple muharats with their individual tastes and preferences. TTD astrologers decided that if marriages are conducted during ‘abhijit muhurit’ they wont be effected by other doshas associated with tidhi, vara and lagna doshas. However the board members are not firm believers of Lord Venkateswara and are here only to use their power and clout to make money. So they decide their own muhurats all the year causing sheer inconvenience to the public.
But no one is there to question them and so over the last month itself on 29th 8 members took oath, on 30th TTD EO took charge, on 31st another member took charge, on 7th sep another person decided to join office. So it took around 13 days to constitute the board. This shows the high handedness of the members of TTD.

Ileana insulted by Allu Arjun

Share
Gorgeous Goan beauty Ileana feels she is insulted by Stylish Star Allu Arjun so much so that she decided to even say ‘Good Bye’ to Tollywood industry all together. It is known that the greek goddess was making a comeback of sorts in the industry after her ‘Shakti’ episode with Young Tiger NTR. She hoped to recreate the magic of ‘Devdas’ and ‘Pokiri’ with ‘Snehitudu’, ‘Julayi’ and ‘Deuvdu Chesina Manushulu’. However her zero size figure got zero marks from even her die hard fans. Even film makers used harsh dialogues like ‘Karuvochina country ki brand ambassador’ as she ignored their suggestions to put on some weight. Now stung and insulted by all these comments she decided to say good bye to tollywood.
She says “My parents are presently living in Goa. I am looking for a place in Mumbai so that they can shift here with me. I want to settle down in Mumbai. So right now I am hunting for a house in the city,”. She even ignored promoting her films ‘Julaayi’ which got a success talk and even ‘Devudu Chesina Manushulu’. It has to be seen whether Bunny pacifies and cool this hot beauty or will Tollywood will never see her illuminating presence on silver screen.

KVP cornered inside out!

Share
YSR soul KVP. Rama Chandra Rao waited for so long in hibernation to shower his love towards his friend and former CM YS.Rajasekhara Reddy, releasing a book on his famous ‘Padayatra’ that bought Cong back to power in Andhra Pradesh. He compiled memories of YSR, which he wrote in his diary during his padayatra. Inspite of requests and representations from YSR’s detractors many from the high command, union ministers and even ministers from YSR cabinet along with PCC chief Botsa attended the grand function.
However if KVP thought to draw political mileage out of it, his rivals from YSRCP poured cold water on his aspirations. Ambati Rambabu said YSR never had the habit of writing a diary in his life time and KVP is misleading people. They even allege that all the information which was in KVP released book, was the excerpts of interview YSR had given to a leading regional daily during his padayatra. They even question had YSR wrote any diary it would have been with either his wife Vijayamma, son Jagan or daughter Sharmila and not with KVP.
All this became ammunition for his detractors in the party and they are planning to send the paper cuttings and complain to Sonia and high command on KVP for misleading the party and taking them for a ride.

Can Cong boons to CM bring them back to power?

Share
Many are writing off CM Kiran and even media is coming with stories that his days are numbered. However all those seems to be fast emerging false as many top leaders from Delhi who visited Andhra Pradesh confirmed the continuance of Kiran in CM chair.
It seems Cong High Command is giving boons to CM by accepting his requests. CM Kiran sought the help of high command to reign in seniors in the party who are issuing statements against him and in return promised to bring Cong to power in state!. He even requested center to send strong signals to seniors that there wont be any change in CM post. APCC incharge Ghulam Nabi Incharge who came here seems to be toeing CM Kiran’s line as he ruled out possibility of any change in leadership.
Though many write Kiran off, he was instrumental in doing away with 14F ruling from Center and even bought back gas that rightfully belongs to AP. He is even going ahead with indiramma bata though his detractors are saying it has no green signal from High Command.It has to be seen how successful Cong boons to CM will help him bring the party back to power in 2014 general elections.

King Nag following Super Star Krishna

Share

Everyone in Tollywood hails King Nagarjuna for starring in films which no other hero would have dared to even imagine doing it in his life time. Be it Annamayya, Ramadasu or Shirdi Sai or in the similar manner Rajanna or Gaganam it is possible only for Nag. That was the reason why he won 6 Nandi awards and two national awards. He is the only person to have encouraged new and creative directors. His fans hail him as the trend setter in Tollywood introducing movie lovers to new techniques and innovative story lines in his films.
However some feel that he his just following Super Star Krishna who is the only trend setter in Tollywood. He is credited with producing many technological firsts in Telugu film Industry like the cinemascope movie (Alluri Seetharama Raju), first 70mm movie (Simhasanam), first DTS Movie (Telugu Veera Levara) and introducing cowboy and James Bond styles to the Telugu screen.No one can forget his ‘Mosagallaku Mosagadu’ inspired by ‘Mackennas Gold’ or his James Bond style film ‘Goodhachari 116’. His dare devilry in taking on all powerful NTR’s ‘Dana Veera Sura Karna’ with ‘Kurukshetram’ speaks volumes of his creativity.
King Nagarjuna also is also trying to introduce new styles with his looks and action and was mostly successful in his attempts. Tollywood is blessed to have trendsetters like Krishna and Nagarjuna.

Sonia ,T-MPs fool KCR

Share
Common people and political analysts think that KCR is all powerful and no one can dare look into his eyes. Some even say the mere mention of his name will send shivers in the spines of his opponents. However going by the present developments, it seems KCR is mere paper tiger who gives only vitriolic statements only to instigate hatred and mob fury across various sections of people and none of his political rivals are taking him seriously. Till recently he tried to make JAC chairman Prof Kodandaram dance to his tunes and also get all the parties in JAC and make them puppets. but other parties saw through his designs and walked out of the JAC. Now even Kodandaram started acting independently.
While KCR has been spending time talking about signals on telangana from Sonia Gandhi and center each and every Union Minister are sending signals contrary to his views shocking him to the core. Many feel that Cong high command is guiding T-MPs to move closely with KCR and find out all his future plans so that they can tackle him more proactively. That was the reason why T-MPs breath fire according to the whims and fancies of KCR and share all information with High Command. Thus Sonia and T MPs have successfully made fool of KCR and now he has no place to hide.
