According to the director, the film and Sridevi’s characterization in the movie is inspired by her mom. “Like most people in India struggle with this language, it’s just the insensitivity and insecurity that made me do this film,” Shinde said.
Asked how she managed to cast Sridevi in her debut film, she said: “While writing the script, I did not think of anyone. When Balki met Boney and Sridevi, they asked him what was he doing at that time. Balki mentioned about me writing a script.

Cabinet meet in Chanchalguda Jail

Share
CBI is knocking out one by one Minister’s wickets in CM kiran Kumar Reddy’s cabinet but however no one is unfazed. After Mopidevi Venkataramana, Revenue Minister Dharmana Prasada Rao was bowled out. Now other cabinet ministers J Geeta Reddy, Sabita Reddy, Ponnala Lakshmaiah, Kanna Lakshminarayana are feeling the heat. Many feel one by one all the ministers will be sent packing to Chanchalguda Jail. Already Geeta Reddy who is having significant clout with Sonia Gandhi and Congress high command flew behind the heels of Dharmana Prasada Rao to somehow manage and get her name erased from CBI charge sheets using pressure by her political bosses.
Whether her efforts fructify or not, many are wondering when all these ministers go to jail will CM Kiran hold cabinet meetings in Jail and make them sign files so that the functioning of the Govt and the system will not suffer. Some others feel that by sending all minsters from YSR cabinet to Jail, CBI and Congress high command is making Jagan’s job easier. Now he can without waiting for any one’s approval or raising the suspicion can arrange for cabinet meet of former CM YSR’s cabinet and pass some resolutions to topple congress govt and plan its down fall. It has to be seen who will emerge winners in this political game of wits and people are fully aware that what ever happens public money won’t be coming back.

Sudden Star mocks Simhas, Tigers

Share

It takes lots and lots of guts to leave alone speak but to look at the Nandamuri icons who are known as Simhas and tigers of tollywood. However Allari Naresh is hearing nothing of those good advices but is going ahead to mock the dreaded simhas and tigers. Allari Naresh who till now making everyone smile heartily this time is turning Sudden Star in ‘Sudigadu’. The film directed by Bheemaneni Srinivasa Rao and is produced by Chandrasekhar Reddy on Arundhati Movies banner. The film comes with the tagline ‘Oke Ticket pai vanda cinemalu’.Film is presently in post production. One wonder how he got that sudden courage to take spoofs at all heroes and especially targeting Nandamuris is still a mystery.
In the film’s first look poster which was released recently Sudigadu explain specials of tollywood heroes and in one one liner he says “heroes are experts in thigh thumping and delivering punch dialogues”. Even a movie novice and just born baby knows whom these words refer to. Natasimha Balakrishna is renowned and popular for thumping thighs like he did in ‘Samarasimha Reddy’ and airing powerful dialogues. Young Tiger NTR is also no less reputed in those kind of acts. It has to be seen what will be the reaction of Nandamuri fans and their heroes. Will there be any counters or will they choose to ignore these spoofs as a part of Allari Naresh’s comedy acts has to be seen.

TDP Babu is on Taming mission

Share

Those who watched the glory of Chandrababu are unable to bear the gloom of TDP chief. He shone like a star in the world’s galaxy of leaders with international community hailing him as the brand ambassador of India and future PM of India who has great foresight to for brighter vision for the Country. True to their predictions he bought global recognition to Hyderabad and by giving it hitech color, he made Hyderabad synonym for India. However all that is past and many feel those days may not come again for Babu.
He underwent lot of tribulations after 9 yrs as CM, now as around 9 more years as Opposition Leader. Whatever strategy he tried it boomeranged on him and now to increase his headaches Telangana moment is hanging as damsel sword on his neck. Many feel had he used the same foresight and rewarded hi colleague KCR with plump portfolio, he and the state wouldn’t have faced so many troubles or underwent so many trials and tribulations.
Now Babu is on taming mission. He is facing problems from tigers and lions from inside and outside. From outside tigers like KCR, Kiran and Jagan are lurking around while from inside Natasimha Balakrishna and Young Tiger NTr along with Harikrishna is waiting to pounce on him. He with carrot and stick method tamed Simha Balakrishna and it seems he is content to contest from Hindupur Constituency next elections. He has bigger and most daunting mission of taming Harikrishna and NTR and Babu might have already opened discussion channels with them.
He is taking on outside tigers politically chosing to ignore Jagan completely though his other leaders are taking on him. He is concentrating on laying strong foundation and his BC card is just a trailer. He is going hammer and tongs on CM Kiran. It has to be seen how he tames T-Tiger KCR. Once that is done TDP will see ray of success light.

AP suffering from Sonia Stroke !

Share

State of Andhra Pradesh which is regarded as rice bowl of India and also the country’s top destination for software techies is fast losing its shine and sheen due to various developments on political fronts. Till recently corporates vied with each other scouting for lands, fixing appointments with CM of the state to invest in State as it provided conducive and peaceful atmosphere. Similar is the case with job seekers from other regions who made Hyderabad favorite destination as they don’t have to face any language problem unlike any other places. Even on farming sector farmers used to be role models for entire country.

However political instability, rising production costs, increasing power cuts, depleting natural resources, derogating infrastructure facilities,law and order problem with authorities turning a blind eye and power holidays to corporates, pressures from political front to recruit people on regional basis than on merit are making corporates look for alternative venues. When analysed further what could be the cause for the present situation in State many feel that people and AP is suffering from Sonia Stroke.
Her indecisiveness on various burning issues that are troubling the state, inability to control rebellion in the party and the Govt, divide between cabinet ministers, diverging statements from ministers on various issues is bringing disrepute to the State and bringing down its brand value among the corporates across the world. Unless until State comes out of Sonia Stroke it is difficult to survive.

Open Challenge to Danam Nagendar

Share

Communist Party leader Raghavulu who is doing some yatra or other to be in the media attention and become talk of the town threw an open challenge to State Labour Minister Danam Nagender.. Reacting to Danam Nagender’s dadagiri sometime back at Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy shrine managed by ISKON near Banjarahills, he dared Danam to carry locks and keys to various temples across the state and get along with the job of putting them in lockouts.
Raghavulu questioned how dare Danam could do like this taking law and order in his hands, completely breaking them with even having a second thought that he is in responsible position as a Labor Minister of the state. He wondered whether Danam would have acted in matters pertaining to his department and problems faced by labors who are struggling to meet both ends due to bad and unimaginable working conditions and managements who are taking workers for a ride.
Raghavulu went on to accuse the minister of hobnobbing with the managements of the companies to meet his vested personal and political interests seeking funds for the party leaving the cause of labors in a lurch. Many wondered how Raghavulu went hammer and tongs at Danam with such intensity. He even asked Danam to put down his papers as the Minister since he failed on all fronts and is busy on his mission to lock temples across the state. It has to be seen how Danam will react and what will be the impact of his reaction.

AP’s Political Yatra Specials

Share

Common people will be presented various offers and yatra specials by travel agencies, tourism and development corporation or railways, airways to attract them in off season. It seems people of Andhra Pradesh are lucky enough to witness yatra specials free of cost. If they are left wondering who are presenting these offers, then here comes the answer-various political parties in the state. There are no prizes for people who answer which party tops the list in Yatra Specials. Jagan got the patent in it and YSR party tops the list in yatra or deeksha specials. His ‘Odarpu Yatra’ is the mother of all yatras and one neednot be surprised if he asks his mom Vijayamma to continue the saga if there is any delay in his coming out of roads and pursue his special. Currently Vijayamma is doing deeksha on fees reimbursement issue and may soon hit the roods. Already CM Kiran Kumar Reddy who is fighting bitter battles in and out of his very own Congress Party is on ‘Indiramma Bata’.

Not to be left behind is TDP chief Chandra Babu who is all set to start yatra on VNPIC land assignment. One should not under estimate BJP’s lone soldier Kishan Reddy who is currently doing yatra in Tirumala forests against smuggling in forests and inability of Govt to control it. Communists are specialists in yatras and so people need not be disappointed. If people wants to travel from one place to another carry the flag of any of these parties planning their journey according to their yatra specials and one can be sure of reaching their destinations free of cost!. Hope people utlise the services provided by political parties with their yatra specials. Who say parties don’t work for the cause of people?

Creative attack on Tollywood

Share

When Magadheera director Rajamouli unleashed his graphic wonder ‘Eega’ across the world, little did film makers from across India think even in their dreams that it will be a stunning hit. However ‘Eega’ flew enchantingly to mesmerize movie lovers cutting across regions across the globe. Even more surprisingly even in land of creativity and innovation, Chennai also witnessed houseful screenings for the film.Magadheera Rajamouli became Darsakadheera with bollywood getting ready for red carpet welcome. Though Kollywood superstars and top film makers lavished praises on Rajamouli, they took ‘Eega’ stunning success as an insult to their creativity.

Now their creative directors led by Shankar are getting ready to unleash a multipronged creative attack on tollywood. KV.Anand is getting ready to unleash his ‘Maatran’ (Duplicate) in tollywood in which Surya is starring as conjoint twins. Aleady Anand tasted success with ‘Ko'(Rangam) and is keen on giving tollywood film makers taste of their own medicine. Already the trailers and first look of the film is creating a sensation. The film features Kajal in lead and more recently the film makers launched the film’s audio in a grand function at Singapore. Similarly Mysskin is launching Jeeva, ‘Ko'(Rangam’ fame as India’s first super hero in ‘Mugamudi'(Mask). Jeeva will be seen sporting Mask in the film. The film is about a youth’s fight against corruption. Tollywood should be prepared for more from kollywood film makers as ‘Eega’ instigated their creative minds.

New sensation making rapid strides

Share
Many movie lovers in tollywood wondered whether any new debutant will bring refreshing change on silver screen or are they have to watch the old and known faces. Those who got bugged by monotony kept tracking on the performances of new comers and debutantes. However many disappointed and even debutantes of super hit films like ‘Happy Days’ and ‘Kothabangaru Lokam’ also left them disappointed. In the midst of all this when all looked for the high profile debut of MS.Raju’s son Sumanth Aswin’s debut, even he disappointed in ‘Tooneega Tooneega’ by trying to imitate other stars in tollywood instead of carving a niche for himself.
When they lost all hope then Aadi made sensational entry. Being the son of Sai Kumar who got the reputation of ‘Dialogue King’, he did not face any problems in voice modulations and dialogue delivery. His rigorous stints in other acts of acting stood in good ground and he came up with a sterling performance in ‘Prema Kavali’. The film went on to celebrate 100 days and when many thought of writing the success as flash in the pan, he came up with another ‘Lovely’ entertainer. He scored another century in the second film and now is turning ‘Sukumarudu’.
Many feel that his back to back hits and that too scoring centuries when even 50 days are becoming distant dream, marks the arrival of new star on tollywood silver screen. Now with proper planning and careful selection of scripts he can be the next superstar of tollywood.
