Venkatesh breaks his silence on MAA Elections episode
The upcoming Movie Artists Association (MAA) elections has been attracting the attention of bone and all over the past few weeks. Even before the election notification was issued, the contestants were holding press meetings and targeting the opponents.
Despite all this, the senior heroes kept their silence on the issue which made veteran actors like Kota Srinivasa Rao and Murali Mohan angry. They wonder why the big heroes are not talking about the issue.Victory Venkatesh has broken his silence on the issue and said, he is hoping that the issues will get sorted soon. The senior actor said, the issues, war of words and fights are just permanent.
Venkatesh has always kept himself distant from the issues pertaining to MAA elections since the beginning. This is the reason why, whenever issues in MAA arise, everyone waits for the reaction from Megastar Chiranjeevi and Nandamuri Balakrishna.A few days back, Natasimha Nandamuri Balakrishna gave his opinion on MAA elections. Saying that he doesn’t want to get involved in the issues, Balayya Babu said, he will stand with Manchu Vishnu in constructing MAA Association building.
On the professional front, Victory Venkatesh is gearing up for the release of his next film, Narappa. The revenge drama will be streamed on Amazon Prime from the 20th of this month.

Victory Venkatesh take on reasons for doing remakes
Senior hero Victory Venkatesh is gearing up for the release of his next Narappa, which will be streamed on Amazon Prime Video. The makers and the OTT platform have confirmed the digital release of Narappa.Compared to the other three senior heroes, Megastar Chiranjeevi, Nandamuri Balakrishna, King Nagarjuna, Venkatesh did more remakes in his career and tasted success. Even Narappa is a remake of Hit Tamil film Asuran.
In his recent interview, Venkatesh was asked the same question on opting for remakes. Currently, Tollywood has also changed and the makers are coming with new and interesting concepts.
As a response to the question, Venkatesh said, there is no particular reason behind doing remakes. I might have liked the film. I might have not acted in such films earlier and the remakes provide opportunities to offer a good film to the audiences. It also reduces the financial burden on the producers. A lot of aspects like this make you act in remakes, he said.
Stories that have strong emotions like Narappa have not come in recent times. I have also not acted in such films. The audience will connect to every emotion in Narappa. I haven’t seen a picture like Asuran. We thought of remaking it. Remakes are always compared to the original ones. The same happened to me during films like Chanti and Sundarakanda.
Doing remakes and acting in it is not that easy. We have to make sure to not spoil the original one. In Narappa case, Srikanth Adalla has done a brilliant job, Venkatesh added.
His Drushyam 2 will also be released on Amazon Prime. On the work front, he is shooting for F3, the sequel to F2. Anil Ravipudi and Dil Raju are the director and producer of the sequel respectively.

Do You Know That Salman’s Popular Bodyguard Earns More Than Many CEOs?
It is quite common for the celebrities to have personal bodyguards with them all the time as there will be a huge mob whenever they come out in public. It is a necessity for superstars to have their own bodyguards which helps them in being safe. Out of all the celebrity bodyguards, the one person who is a celebrity in himself is Gurumeet Singh Jolly aka Shera who has been Salman Khan’s shadow from the past 27 years.
He was MR Mumbai back in 1987 and was part of the security detail for stars like Michael Jackson, Will Smith, Paris Hilton, Jackie Chan, Justin Bieber and others during their visit to India. Speaking about his association with Salman Khan, Shera said, “We first met when I was handling security for Whigfield’s show. She’s a Hollywood singer, she’d come down. I met Salman again when Keanu Reeves, the Hollywood hero, had come to India. Speed had released and Matrix was about to release. I did my first show with Salman in Chandigarh, and we’ve been together ever since.”
Apparently, Shera earns a salary of 15 lakhs per month which is almost 2 crores per annum. It is safe to say that not many CEOs of tech companies get make much of money. Shera is a celebrity in himself who enjoys a following of over 400,000 on Instagram.
He respects Salman Khan a lot and said, “Maalik means master and Salman Maalik is everything to me. I will lay down my life for him. He is my god.Jab tak zinda hoon, bhai ke saath rahunga (As long as am alive, I will be with Bhai). I always tell people that they will never see me standing behind or next to bhai. I will be standing in front of him, looking out for any threat.”
Salman Khan dedicated his film ‘Bodyguard’ to Shera and has even taken the responsibility of launching Shera’s son Tiger as a hero in Hindi cinema. The youngster has worked as an assistant director for Salman’s hit film ‘Sultan’ which came out in 2016. Talking about his launch, Salman Khan himself stated, “Shera’s son Tiger is being groomed right now and he’s already being considered by so many producers and directors. Shera feels I will be the best judge of a script for his son, so I am now sifting through scripts. I am yet to find something worthy.”
We have bought Ramanaidu studio lands for high price that land belongs to Suresh Productions!
Since the past few days, news has been circulated claiming that the Andhra Pradesh government wants to take back the land that was allotted to Ramanaidu Film Studio in Vizag due to some unknown reasons.Ace producer Suresh Babu has responded to the reports in his recent interview and made his stand clear on the land allotment row.
Senior producer Suresh Babu said the Ramanaidu Studio in the port city Vizag comes under his family purview. It was my father’s dream to have a studio in Vizag. We bought the land from the government at a higher cost than the market price, he said.
Saying that they own the land and it’s purely their personal issue, Daggubati Suresh Babu said they hold the right to use the piece of land for entertainment purposes or sell it.
Drawing a comparison between Hyderabad studio and Vizag studio, Suresh Babu said land allotment was made for Hyd studio for only studio purposes. Whereas, the land in Vizag was bought for entertainment purposes by paying high prices. In the studio, I am allowed to do film and entertainment related activities. I can build a theme park and hotel. That land belongs to Suresh Productions Pvt Ltd and not to the state government, he said.
However, he also made it clear that he has no issues with the government but everyone thinks he has issues.Adding further, he said, there are a lot of supporters for CM Jagan in the industry but the supporters were not exposed.We as an industry make sure that industry remains non-political and non-religious, he asserted.
