Shankar’s big class to Amy Jackson

Share
Director Shankar one of the hardest task masters when it comes to films and always strives for perfection. The sensational director was reportedly irked with the behaviour of Brit Beauty Amy Jackson, whom he has cast opposite Vikram as the female lead in I.
Apparently, Amy was turning up late or with sleepless eyes for the shoot and the actress looked far from being fresh due to her late-night gigs.
The concerned director called Amy aside and told her in no uncertain terms that she has to stay away from the party circuit until the end of his film’s shoot as he doesn’t want it to disrupt his film’s outcome. We hear that an embarrassed Amy promised Shankar that she will mend her ways.

Is Chiru next in Line for CM ?

Share

The sudden meeting between Megastar-Rajya Sabha member K Chiranjeevi and Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Thursday afternoon triggered widespread speculations in the media circles.
It was not a pre-appointed meeting and Chiranjeevi received a sudden call from Sonia for a meeting at her residence. And since the meeting took place a few hours before the arrival of Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy to New Delhi, it assumed a lot of significance.
Sources in New Delhi said Sonia wanted to get a feedback from Chiranjeevi on the latest political developments in the state as a neutral observer and hence called him for the meeting. However, speculations were rife that she sought to know whether he was prepared to take the Chief Minister’s mantle in case Kiran is dropped from the chair. And the way Chiranjeevi left her residence silently without talking to media has led to these speculations.
It was only on Wednesday that Chiranjeevi told the media that the people wanted to see him as the Chief Minister. Though he said Kiran would continue as CM till 2014, his statement has raised many an eyebrow. However, it is not clear whether Chiranjeevi is ready to accept the post if it is offered to him.

Tollywood unattractive for telugu gals?

Share

Girls and teenagers generally get attracted towards glamor field and they crave to become stars dreaming of rubbing shoulders with their dream heroes. However a careful observation shows that telugu gals seems to be not interested in making acting in Tollywood as their career. There are hardly any telugu heroine in the film industry unlike Kollywood, Mollywood or Bollywood. It is surprising fact as Kollywood and Mollywood beauties even come to tollywood or Bollywood and shake box office which is the same with Bollywood beauties. However things are not the same in case of telugu girls.
If any film maker says that there are no beautiful and gorgeous looking girls in the state of Andhra Pradesh, then he or she would be at fault because Dia Mirza, Gadde Sindhura and Diana Hayden made waves in fashion and glamor fields but are rejected by tollywood film makers. They are as beautiful as bollywood babes and could have given run for their money. One can never forget Tabu who has the tempting structure. If one say that they don’t have acting skills then one remember how Rajamundry born Anjali was shown the exit door from tollywood. She won the accolades of all in Tamil Nadu and the same is the case with Bindu Madhavi born in Madanepalli or Madhu Shalini who is starring in bollywood.. All of them don’t lack either in beauty of professionalism.
Film makers are in their own world and inhibitions and if they come out of their shell and look, there are many beautiful telugu girls to take on beauties from other regions on tollywood silverscreen.

Imminent Change points to good or bad?

Share
The present political situation in Andhra Pradesh and even in the Country shows that change is imminent and the moment general elections are held, people will show exit doors to the leaders that are ruling the State and the Country at present. Many surveys conducted by leading organisations point towards imminent change with the present parties which are ruling the state and center losing its sheen and popularity in public. For many years people have been tolerating corruption, scams, law and order problems etc. To some extent they even tolerated rise in prices, however when Central Govt decided to keep on increasing petrol prices everytime by 5-7 Rs on flimsy grounds they decided enough of it. Then the State Govt decided to increase electricity charges and also got ready to collect dues for earlier years also inspite of repeatedly warned by the High Court not to do so. This made people furious as inept officials show their helplessness in collecting pending dues from defaulters but try to extract more from innocent and honest tax payers.
Many feel that if they do their duty and collect dues on time from VVIPS and Govt organisations which are defaulting crores of rupees there won’t be any need for increase in tariffs. Increase in prices of essential commodities, vegetables, food grains left house wives fuming. All sections of people are angry with ruling Govts at state and center and even though they are trying their best to divide people by caste and regional lines, they have made up their mind to teach them a mind blowing lesson to them. However irony is that there are no other alternatives and they have to choose between devil and the deep blue sea and many wonder where imminent change points to. Whether it is good or bad to people in general.

Naresh is turning Sudden Star in the film and for the first time he is having a prefix in front of his name. A title that suggests he is about to take off for bigger laurels. Sudigadu is promising ‘100’ films on one ticket and as such Naresh, the new Sudden Star going by the same logic is planning to score smiles centuries on tollywood silver screen. Naresh in his film’s trailers did not leave Power Star’s Pawan Kalyan’s Gabbar Singh nor Natasimha Balakrishna’s previous films. Some however feel that the double meaning dialogues included for mass viewers may turn off family fans of Allari Naresh. It has to be seen how movie lovers will be rating Sudden Star with their success stars.

Who is AP’s Corruption King ?

Share

State of Andhra Pradesh is witnessing bitter political battle between various political parties with all the leaders indulging in accusations and counter accusations on each other. It all started with Chandra Babu Naidu of TDP who started accusing later YSR during his rule that he was the ‘Raja of Corruption’. He even published a detailed booklet highlighting YSR’s corruption saga. Later he trained his guns on his son YS.Jagan. Differences with Congress landed Jagan in jail and both Congress and TDP started accusing him as the Emperor of Corruption.

However YSR CP accused Chandra Babu of being the King of Corruption during his 9yr stint as CM. They also name some of his controversial GOs and even Congress say that they are just following his Govt orders. Congress is totally immersed in corruption with one of its minister languishing in jail while another in queue. As many as 6 cabinet ministers received notices from Supreme Court and opposition parties are putting Congress Govt in the dock. Some allege its chief Bota Satyanaraya is the Corruption Emperor having involved himself in liquor mafia and land scams.
Who ever emerges winner in this race, some say will pale in comparison to the money Raja, Kanimozhi, Maran made in 2G or those involved in coal scam made. Lalu, Jaya, Maya are far ahead of all these people in corruption. One has to wait and see what verdict poor people whose money has been looted will pass on these high profile politicians.

Censor Board turning blind

Share
 Film Industry has Censor Board to monitor the good and bad it is doling out to the society and try to put it on right track whenever film makers deviate in different directions. In the olden days board members used to be very strict and never used to allow even slightest of double meaning dialogues or even lyrics in the songs. However with the influence of Hollywood films they used to be a bit liberal but however compared to bollywood films, films from South still took time to break free from shackles of traditions. Even now slightest comparison between films from bollywood and south, shows that bollywood films passes censor board with intimate kissing scenes and erotic romantic scenes unlike southern films which face road blocks for a few minutes lip locks.
Film makers from South allege bias at regional censor board, accusing the director of showing favoritism to top film makers but showing stars to small film makers. They even lodged a complaint against the director with the Union Govt. Even movie lovers who happen to watch genex films are left to wonder how some films are getting passed at the censor board. They cite two small films which went on to complete 100 days successfully. However those two films are fully loaded with double meaning dialogues. Many question whether censor board has become blind. Many joke that censor board is following Gandhi’s principle not to see,watch or hear bad and so is closing its eyes while issuing certificates.

Who is Tollywood’s ‘Tiger’

Share

Movie lovers and Nandamuri fans, especially that of Young Tiger NTR will get angry with the question, as Tiger in tollywood is synonymous to NTR. His stamina, powerful dialogue delivery, breathtaking dances and versatile acting loaded with powerful stunts made him the Young Tiger of tollywood. However film makers are now looking for a new ‘Tiger’. Movie lovers may be aware that Bollywood Super Star Salman Khan created a sensation with is ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ crossing Rs 100crs in just five days and many trade analysts predict that the film will be grossing more than Rs 225 crores in the long run. Already tollywood film makers are ready camping in Mumbai to bag the film’s remake rights and plan for a powerful tollywood film.

Film Nagar is abuzz with rumors that film makers got in touch with Power Star Pawan Kalyan who earlier rewrote all tollywood records by remaking Salman starrer ‘Dabaang’. Fans are still fresh from ‘Gabbar Singh’ memories and they feel that he will be better suited to become tollywood’s ‘Ek Tha Tiger’. There are some other film makers who feel that Natasimha Balakrishna is better suited for the powerful flick and even remark that who ever rewrites the script of the film in telugu, only one name strike them for the lead role and he is none other than Balakrishna.
It has to be seen who will become Tollywood’s Tiger and how Young Tiger NTR receives them and what he will do to counter those tigers and tame them to submission.

TDP’s trifurcation before T-State

Share

People of Andhra Pradesh are left wondering when Telangana state would be formed and each of them are coming with their own predictions. But till now nothing is happening and though some vouch for the formation of Telangana and others say that the state would be as united as ever and infact the bond between people of two regions will be growing strong in the coming years. However some are asking for separate Rayalaseema state if in case the state is bifurcated. They say the people of Rayalaseema region can not go together with Andhra region and are seeking for trifurcation.
However many political analysts predict whether or not the central govt proceeds with division of Andhra Pradesh, TDP’s trifurcation will happen sooner than later. They say many leaders in the party are growing vexed with the dictatorial ways of its chief Chandra Babu’s ways and are looking else where. While some are planning to join other parties some are egging Nandamuri family members to take the reigns of the party. However family war is going on between Nandamuri scions Harikrishna, Balarkishna and NTR. While Balakrishna is supporting formation of Telangana state, Harikrishna is dead against it and NTR is yet to reveal his feelings.
Many feel that while Nata Smiha Balakrishna going by his seema popularity will take the reigns of TDP-Rayalaseema with him, Young TIger NTR who in a press statement said that he was born in Telangana and is the son of the soil will rule TDP-Telangana. The remaining Andhra region will be taken care by Harikrishna thus completing trifurcation of TDP leaving Chandra Babu Naidu empty handed.

Law Minister helping Looters

Share
There is a old saying that to catch a thief one should employ a thief. Now a days public is of strong opinion that politicians and law enforcing authorities are hand in glove with criminals, anti social and more importantly anti national elements. Many cite this as the main reason for delay in justice and fanning of violence when everything looks normal on streets. They are of opinion that politicians incite violence to meet their vested political interests.
Every one received shock of their lives when it was found that CBI Judges received bribes worth more than Rs 100 crores to grant bail to key accused Gali Brothers in the mining scam. One of the arrested in connection with the bribe accused AP law minister Erasu Pratap Reddy as the key person who tried to get Gali Janardhana Reddy released on bail. However the law enforcing authorities quickly hushed up the matter and nothing happened later. Everyone now knew how the investigation slowed up in the entire process. Similar is the case of 26 GOs in which Dharmana is in deep trouble. Law Minister is trying to save Dharmana and prevent his arrest.
In the midst of all this he is putting grease paint on his face to star in a telugu film ant thus fulfill his dream of becoming CM at least on silver screen. He is making his debut on silver screen in a Jagapathy Babu’s new film under Nandam Harishchandra Rao’s direction. He will be seen in a special role as CM of AP!.
