‘Item Songs’ shortcut to Stardom

Share
Stunning beauties have found out new but sure short cut to stardom and it is none other than doing special sensuous songs or more popularly known as ‘item songs’. In olden days there used to be starts like Jyothi Lakshmi, Jaya Malini, Jyothi Chitra for doing special songs and they even after doing popular item numbers never used to enjoy the limelight or stardom. However all that changed during past two decades or so and it all started with Maniratnam’s ‘Dil Se’ in which Malaika Khan seduced Sharukh with her hot moves in the song ‘Chayya Chayya’. In Tollywood one has seen the rise of Abhinaya Sri with ‘Aa Ante Amalapuram’ in ‘Arya’ and one need not say more about ‘Ringa Ringa’ song. Mumaith Khan created a sensation with ‘Ippatikinka Na Vayasu’ inviting Prince Mahesh in ‘Pokiri’. She even became heroine in two or three films after the song.
More recently Meenakshi Dixit and Parvathi Melton sizzled in ‘Dookudu’ and later while Meenakshi Dixit became heroine in Srikanth’s ‘Devaraya’ while Parvathi Melton is romancing Balakrishna in ‘Srimannarayana’. Parvathi even went on to give statement that she is not a item gal and her famous ‘Povai Povai’ song in ‘Dookudu’ is one off due to the presence of Prince Mahesh Babu. She says she did that song as she missed opportunity to romance Prince Mahesh Babu in ‘Dookudu’. Popularity of ‘Kevvu Keka’ in ‘Gabbar Singh’ can not be written off and film makers and even top heroines are of the opinion that if offered whopping amount, item number is sure and shortest possible way to sweet success to Stardom.

Politicians’ punching bag

Share
None can predict how Politicians and Political Parties behave and when they get happy or angry over any issue. They change their colors like chameleon without even any one noticing them and when scribes and media question them or publish stories regarding their changing nature, they turn furious and vent their anger on them. This was noticed during YSR regime when he in the presence of Assembly sessions many times vented his anger on two leading dailies Eenaadu and Andhrajyothi. His anger was so much that he allowed his son YS.Jagan to start a publication and channel of its own ‘Sakshi’ which at that time used to be the mouth piece of Congress party. During that time TDP chief Chandra Babu Naidu couldn’t digest any competition what so ever to his support media Enaadu run by Ramoji Rao. His closeness with Eenaadu and Andhrajyothi is well known. He became furious on Sakshi.
Now things changed dramatically after the sudden demise of YSR and with Jagan coming out of Congress, Sakshi started publishing dark secrets of Congress much to the chargin of the party. Now TDP media Eenaadu and Andhra Jyothi changed sides and started supporting Congress and its Govt’s policies. Congress realising the importance of a mouth piece media is planning to give go ahead to Mega Star Chiranjeevi to come with a channel of his own. Yesterday even TRS chief KCR also became furious on Andhrajyothi as it recently published stories mocking his statements about ‘T-Signals on Telangana’ from Center. He questioned how could useless media get to know signals rather than him. Even he started his own Channel and paper for the cause of Telangana. This shows even media is not apolitical and when they change their tack they will become politicians punching bag. None can complain in this scenario and people just watch and enjoy the amusement and free entertainment.

Puri scared of sequels

Share
When someone fail to keep up their words and promises, people stop believing them and sometime even go to the extent of viewing them with suspicion. The same thing happening in case of tollywood hit director Puri Jagannath who failed to keep his promises he made to movie lovers. He at the starting of the year announced with much fan fare that he would make sequel for ‘Idiot’ and ‘Business Man’. ‘Idiot’ gave Mass Raja Ravi Teja, a stunning hit in his career and none can forget the song ‘Chupulto Guchchi Guchchi Champake’. ‘Business Man’ continued the success streak of Prince Mahesh Babu and once again stamped the stardom of Mahesh on tollywood industry. So when Puri announced sequels for both these high profile films, expectations of fans rose even before the start of the films.
However recently Puri exploded a bomb that he won’t be doing sequel for ‘Idiot’ and he after discussing with Ravi Teja felt that the character of Chanti was not suitable for sequel. He said both then proceeded to do ‘Devudu Chesina Manushulu’ along with Ileana. Now couple of days back Puri lit a dynamite saying he is not doing sequel even for ‘Business Man’. He said he will be preparing an entirely new script which suits Prince Mahesh Babu. Many started wondering what could be the reasons behind Puri cancelling not one but both the sequels of two block busters which he earlier directed. Some feel that Puri is scared of sequels as people and movie lovers start comparing the new film with that of the earlier one making it difficult for the new film to reach the high expectations of viewers.

KVP going Viveka’s way ?

Share
General public and politicians along with people in political circles can never separate KVP.Ramachandra Rao and YSR. Both are so united and used to work hand in hand that they knew inside out of each other. So it was a kind of huge surprise and shock when KVP decided to desert Jagan when he came out of Congress and floated a party of his own. This showed how power hungry people are and many felt even YSR brother YS.Vivekananda Reddy decided to be in Congress only to enjoy the fruits of power.
Everyone was shocked when KVP suddenly realised the treatment meted out to YSR by Congress party and the Govt doing away with the schemes and even the photos. He vented his anger and spoke furiously. Many started wondering whether he is going YS.Vivekananda Reddy way who till he enjoyed power, praised Congress, lashed out at Jagan for being unkind to the party which gave so much for his father and for his family. The moment he lost elections contesting against YSR’s widow Vijayamma, his reputation in the party diluted and suddenly he started criticising Congress for insulting YSR.
KVP till now maintained stoic silence and never spoke a word for all these years on insults by Congress party on his soul YSR and if suddenly he starts making noices no one will believe him. He should see the experiences of YS.Viveka when he tried to make peace with Jagan, he was not given the desired importance. KVP better realise this before treading Viveka’s path.

BJP-MIM playing with innocent Lives

Share
When parties start playing with religious sentiments and beliefs of people, tensions are bound to increase and that is what BJP and MIM always does in Andhra Pradesh state capital Hyderabad. Here we are not going to discuss about who is right and who is wrong but parities should realise it is wrong to play with the religious beliefs and sentiments for petty political gains especially in Old City. The place which is a high tension wire of Hyderabad resumed some calmness once TDP under NTR’s leadership came to power. Earlier it used to witness communal riots when ever Congress wants change of CM post. Normalcy was restored under TDP rule for sometime since both BJP and MIM sided with TDP. Many say there are two sides in a coin. Both BJP and MIM are one side of the coin and they don’t want to look at the other side.
One fail to understand when there are so many issues why these two parties play with religion. Govt can take steps and if it bans religious processions on various festivals things would come under control. Even people should realise that prayers can be offered individually to Almighty rather than in full public gaze mobilising huge gatherings. Both the parties are more concerned about their political ends than the problems of people. That was the only reason why MIM is dead against formation of ‘Telangana’ which it fears would strengthen its opponent BJP denting its prospects. Muslims should think why Old City still is under developed compared to other parts of the city though MIM has been ruling it for years. They should ask why conditions of muslims never improved under MIM’s rule. BJP on the other hand suddenly showering love towards people of ‘Telangana’ to make inroads in both the regions.It wants people not to question the party why it forgot the ‘T’ cause which it rose 10years back in its manifesto. People should see through the cunning political games of both the parties and teach them a fitting lesson.

‘Prince’ Mahesh following ‘King’ Nagarjuna !?

Share
Prince Mahesh Babu is now branded as the superstar of Tollywood and whether one likes it or not he is credited with bringing world wide recognition for telugu film industry with ‘Dookudu’. The back to back successes of ‘Dookudu’ and ‘Business Man’ made him the youth icon and even corporates made beeline after him to endorse their brands. He made his debut at a tender age of 4yrs in a film titled ‘Needa’ starring his father Krishna who used to be the ‘Super Star’. Krishna was reputed for being a trend setter making daring and dynamic films.Starring along with him gave the requisite experience to Mahesh as a child artist which helped him in moulding his career as a hero.
Mahesh in many interviews expressed his desire to make his son a hero. It may still be a long time to do but Prince wants to see his little prince toddle in his upcoming multi starrer ‘Seetamma Vakitlo Srimalle Chettu’ along with Venkatesh. The film is directed by Srikanth Addala and features Samantha and Anjali. If one goes by the film makers who released one trailer on Super Star Krishna’s Birthday and now another planning to unveil it on Mahesh’s birthday, Mahesh’s son Gautam Krishna’s debut can not be ruled out.
Just like King Nagarjuna made his son Akhil make his debut in ‘Sisindri’ a remake of hollywood hit ‘Baby’s Day Out’, Prince Mahesh seems to be following his dad and Super Star Krishna and more importantly King Nagarjuna.

AP MPs turn blind

Share
Common man elect their representatives to that they will solve their problems and develop the places. MPs and MLAs across other states atleast try to get some funds from central government and they are more than successful exerting pressure unitedly forgetting regional differences with other rival parties. But this was not the case with MPs representing Andhra Pradesh. Though the state has 42 MPs and play important role in the formation of govt at center, Central Govt shows step motherly treatment diverting funds to some other states and some other policies. The Govt’s discrimination is clear in using its resources for satisfying the wants of their allies at other states or satisfying their greed.
Though people rewarded the ruling congress with 33 MP seats, they did not get single portfolio or ministry of importance or even if they do get ministries , they don’t have guts to do some thing for the people of their constituencies. They are content with seeking personal gains and monetary benefits and once they are satisfies they are not bothered responsibilities they have towards people they represent.This was the reason why gas resources from KG basin was shifted to Ratnagiri Power plant in Maharashtra and mines and other natural resources diverted depriving people and State of its wealth.
Same was the case with Railways doing nothing for Southern railways while enjoying massive profits provided by the passengers and freight carriage. MPs are so thick skinned that they don’t want to learn from their Tamil Nadu counter parts who threaten violent agitations when it comes to interests of the state and change even foreign policies.

Did Megastar desert his Brothers ?

Share
Media and people’s focus will be always on star celebrities and when enjoys the super stardom of Megastar Chiranjeevi then the attention is inevitable. Right from his superhit ‘Khaidi’ which made him Tollywood’s action hero and angry young man, his fan base multiplied and media started following his every move very closely and even started analysing each and every step. Over the last five years Chiru has been accused of giving a raw deal to his brothers Nagababu and Pawan Kalyan. Many stories emanated about his not so amicable relationships with Power Star Pawan Kalyan and to a lesser extent Naga Babu.
Some say Chiru did not try to bring up his brothers even when he was ruling the Industry. Many feel that he did not try to help his brother Nagababu who tried his best to shine as a hero. Chiru did not even fulfill Nagababu’s dream of watching his son Varun Tej making his tollywood debut while he started taking keen interest on his son Ram Charan Teja’s every move. Much has been written about Chiranjeevi’s rivalry with Pawan Kalyan. When he did not turn up for Panjaa audio launch it became the hot topic of discussion and Chiru’s silence did not make things any better. It was written that Pawan didnot approve Chiru merging his PRP with Congress. Some even said that Chiru did not help Pawan when his film ‘naraju’ bombed miserably at box office.
However what one doesn’t know is Chiru gave many chances, offers and he himself gave bulk dates to his brother Naga Babu to utlilise it to perfection. However Nagababu failed to use it and now Chiru is helping him in Varun Tej’s debut. As for Pawan Kalyan,also Chiru’s close aides reveal that everything is fine between them.
