Obviously, the main cast is always pre-decided and these people (casting directors) are on board to suggest the producer and Director that they visualise a Particular person in the required roles.

But in the recent times, this sort of social media trend has become common. Moreover heroes will personally get involved in such trends and then enters heroes PROs and with the help of fake accounts, they would keep tweeting or commenting on that particular movie which once scored a blockbuster.

On the contrary, this doesn’t happen in Pawan Kalyan or Powerstar fans case. Because Pawan Kalyan hardly take about his films and so he doesn’t have proper PRO related stuff. All Pawan have is hardcore fans and when they started this trend, director Harish Shankar and producer Bandla Ganesh have encouraged them. And that’s how ‘Gabbar Singh’ was trending from Sunday evening to Morning mid-night.

That’s Powerstar fans!

Press meet ends abruptly after Trump asks Chinese-origin reporter not to ask ‘nasty questions’

Share

NEW YORK: US President Donald Trump abruptly ended his White House news conference Monday following combative exchanges with reporters Weijia Jiang of CBS News and Kaitlan Collins of CNN.

Jiang asked Trump why he was putting so much emphasis on the amount of coronavirus tests that have been conducted in the United States.

“Why does that matter?” Jiang asked. “Why is this a global competition to you if everyday Americans are still losing their lives and we’re still seeing more cases every day?”

Trump replied that “they’re losing their lives everywhere in the world. And maybe that’s a question you should ask China. Don’t ask me. Ask China that question.”

He called for another question, and there was no immediate response.

“Sir, why are you saying that to me, specifically?” Jiang asked. Jiang, who has worked for CBS News since 2015, was born in Xiamen, China, and emigrated to the United States with her family at age 2.

Trump said he would say that to “anyone who asks a nasty question.”

“It’s not a nasty question,” Jiang said. “Why does that matter?”

Trump again asked for another question, then said, “Nah, that’s OK” and waved off CNN’s Collins when she approached the microphone.

“You pointed to me,” Collins said.

The president said, “I pointed to you and you didn’t respond.” Collins said she was giving Jiang the time to finish her questioning.

“Can I ask a question?” Collins said.

With that, Trump called an end to the news conference, held in the White House Rose Garden, and walked away.

Jiang and Collins wore masks to the news conference, as did most reporters, following the recent reports that two White House employees — an aide to Vice President Mike Pence and a valet to the president — had tested positive for the coronavirus.

Now many people in social media are criticizing KTR’s negligence. There are questioning this Telangana minister about the emergency of his presence in the development works when he was suffering from the symptoms related to COVID-19. So, what is your answer KTR Garu?

KCR furious on AP Government – Srisailam project issue

Share

Few days back, AP CM YS Jagan met Telangana CM KCR and the news spread out in the media that YS Jagan is taking guidance from KCR. Rumors raised in the media that KCR is trying to be the king maker guiding KTR and YS Jagan in both the states. Looks like the situation is not on the same lines.

Telangana CM KCR expressed his furiousness over Andhra Pradesh Government for not contacting them before taking a decision on a new lift irrigation project in Srisailam. KCR mentioned that the AP Government’s move is highly objectionable as the result of the project will show impact on both AP and Telangana.

KCR stated that he always wanted to have amicable relationship with AP with respect to the water resources. But the latest move of AP is making KCR move away from his terms. Palamuru, Nalgonda and Rangareddy will face water shortage due to the AP’s new scheme, is KCR’s word and he is determined to halt the project.

Is It possible Allu Aravind?

It is known that lock down is being implemented in the country from the past 50 days. With the lock down being implemented there is no chance of any shooting and all the movie related works came to a temporary end. All the producers are awaiting eagerly for the government to give permission so that they can continue shoots as soon as possible.

There is news coming out that government might allow shootings with limited cast and crew with not exceeding 25 people. However many are unsure whether they can pull it off with such less number of people. Now according to the latest update mega producer Allu Aravind is now thinking to request the government to give permission for him to shoot a series. Allu Aravind is planning a mini web series to fill up content for his OTT platform Aha.

With no shootings, there is no new content available in the app. So he needs to act fast. With government too planning to test waters for shooting with limited cast and crew, Allu Aravind might get a chance. If Allu Aravind gets a chance, then other producers will request for permission too.

Ganta Srinivasarao in biggest Dillemma of his Life?

Share

There are some leaders in politics, whose agenda is the biggest mystery for the people and their own party’s High command. They neither attend the party meetings nor show their support to the party. One such leader is North Vizag TDP MLA Ganta Srinivasa Rao.

The way Ganta withstood Jagan’s storm in last year’s assembly polls is just impeccable but the TDP hasn’t got any of his services yet. In his entire political history, Ganta hasn’t appeared loyal to a particular political party.

Many leaders who are close to Ganta say that he is a very opportunistic leader and favours the ruling party all the time. In 2014 he won from TDP ticket and got ministry. After a humiliating loss in 2019 for his party, Ganta hasn’t spelled out a word against Jagan in any issue. Everyone is puzzled about Ganta’s stand.

Keep all that aside, recently the LG Polymers gas leak shook the whole state and the area in which this accident happened comes under Srinivas Rao’s constituency. Chandra Babu failed to enter the state amid lockdown restrictions and asked his party leaders to console the victims.

Being the MLA of the affected people, Ganta is now where to be seen while Acchennaidu from Srikakulam, Chinna Rajappa from East Godavari, and Ramanaidu from West Godavari made their way to Vizag in the next minute.

It seems like Ganta is in the biggest dilemma in his life and most probably he is worrying about his future in the TDP like many other TDP leaders.

My #BeTheRealMan video appeared impolite

Share

Well, the challenge initiated by Arjun Reddy fame director Sandeep Reddy Vanga has far fewer takers we have to say. Though the likes of Chiranjeevi, NTR and Charan have taken up the challenge, some other big stars like Prabhas, Mahesh and Allu Arjun have completely ignored it. Same is the case with the stars from other states, who are nominated by our stars.

Explaining why he couldn’t do the challenge, hero Dulquer Salman, who is soon getting ready to do a direct move in Telugu, has explained why he can’t take up the challenge. “I’ve filmed myself for couple of times, but the videos appeared rather impolite. For that reason, I’ve not finished the challenge” he said while chatting on Twitter.

Many other stars also didn’t do the challenge because they have maids and domestic help staying at their palatial residences and there is no need for them to do any such chores even during lockdown days. However, cinema lovers feel that doing the challenge is not about actually doing chores, but showcasing that film industry respects and admires each other.

China fears coronavirus second wave as double-digit increase reported for second day

Share

BEIJING: China reported no new domestic coronavirus infections on Tuesday, after two consecutive days of double-digit increases fuelled fears of a second wave of infections.

China has largely brought the virus under control, but it remains on edge, fearful that a second wave could undermine its efforts to get the economy back up and running.

A new cluster reappeared over the weekend in the city of Wuhan, where the pandemic first emerged, while the northeastern city of Shulan was placed under lockdown Sunday after another outbreak emerged.

On Monday, China’s National Health Commission reported 17 new cases, five of them in Wuhan. Seven of the new cases were imported.

A day earlier, China announced the first double-digit increase in nationwide cases in nearly 10 days, saying 14 new infections had been confirmed. Wuhan also saw its first new case in over a month.

For the 27th consecutive day, there were no deaths reported. One imported case was recorded.

The country’s official death toll remains at 4,633, while the total number of infections in the mainland is 82,919.

KCR Strongly Opposes Jagan’s Decision

Share

The Chief Ministers of both Telugu states, KCR and YS Jagan had been maintaining a healthy relationship in all aspects, personal, political, and administration wise. But the latest administrative decision of AP Chief Minister YS Jagan has not gone well with Telangana CM KCR. The latter expressed his strong dissent and also mentioned it as an act against the law. This disagreement between two states existed from YS Rajasekhar Reddy’s time.

The Government of Andhra Pradesh released a GO with the decision to lift an extra 3 TMCs water with a new project that doubles the capacity of Pothireddypadu head regulator in lift irrigation from Srisailam Project to divert more water to Rayalaseema, though the earlier plan was to life 7 tmcs from Pothireddypadu project and 3 tmcs from Sangameswaram. The project design already is heard to be ready in the Rayalaseema pumping project and the construction is all set to start with an expense of Rs 6829 crores.

Jagan’s new decision gave a strong chance to the opposition in Telangana to find fault with KCR, as they had been blaming and complaining that the friendship between the two CMs is ruining Telangana’s development. As the extra water diverted from the Pothireddypadu project reportedly leaves lakhs of acres in Telangana without water and it mainly affects Mahabubnagar district. Telangana’s Palamuru lands won’t be getting the needed water if Srisailam dam never gets full of the diversion on AP’s side.

Telangana CM KCR called for a meeting administrative and irrigation department officials in Pragathi Bhavan in this regard, where he disagreed with the decision of Andhra Pradesh government in building a new project.

KCR also mentioned that the decision of the Andhra Pradesh government is against the law according to the AP reorganization act 2014. The Telangana CM asserted that the state will be starting a legal fight to barricade this project of AP, considering the Telangana state’s benefit.

KCR also ordered to file a complaint with Krishna Water Management Board about AP’s new lift irrigation scheme as the AP govt took the decision without consulting the Telangana Govt when the Srisailam project benefits are shared between the two states. Telangana CM pointed out that AP govt’s decision to start the project construction without the approval of the apex committee is a blunder.

The Richest Temple TTD Suffering With Cash Crunch!

Share

Due to the pandemic and prolonged lockdown, Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) revealed that the trust has lost Rs 400 crore of revenue. The world’s richest shrine is closed for over 50 days in the wake of COVID-19 spread in the country. Anywhere from 1 lakh to 3 lakh people visit the temple daily but due to lockdown, there are no devotees form two months, leading its revenue hit the rock bottom.

The trust says that it does not have sufficient money to pay salaries to its staff or to meet the daily expenses. It is said that the trust has spent more than Rs 300 crore in paying salaries, and pensions. However, it is now looking for a solution “without having to touch” its eight tonnes of gold reserve and Rs 14,000 crore fixed deposits.

With the trust’s monthly income stands somewhere around Rs 200 crore before lockdown, ‘TTD is committed to paying salaries and pensions and has a set of other fixed expenses which it has to incur irrespective of its revenues hitting rock bottom. TTD has a fixed annual expenditure of nearly Rs 2,500 crore under different heads.” – said TTD chairman YV Subba Reddy.

The news has raised a few questions among netizens asking where are the funds that the temple earned all these years, expressing their shock and disbelief. While some argued that state government should be held responsible and verify what happened to the last two-decades’ funds. On the other hand, a few others said that the charge sheet of TTD, which is controlled by govt. clearly tells that they indeed lack money.

It is learned that despite no pilgrims, the daily rituals and festivals are performed as per the prescribed agamas. For the financial year 2020-21, the Tirumala Tirupati temple trust has decided on an annual budget of Rs 3,309.89 crore. After the closing of the temple due to the lockdown, the trust has suffered an estimated loss in hundi collections alone of Rs 150-175 crore.

Ippude Modalaindi – Pawan’s Next Film Title?

Share

These are the days where star heroes and star directors are talking about the ‘titles’ of their films in cryptic ways. Months ago, Allu Arjun has revealed the title of his film with Sukumar by actually tweeting symbols that read “Pushpa”, but none has identified it. And now, many are wondering if Harish Shankar has done a similar thing.

Apparently, when Devi Sri Prasad has come aboard, Harish Shankar used the tag line “Ippude Modalaindi” in his tweet. At the same time, sharing his happiness over everyone celebrating the 8th anniversary of Gabbar Singh movie, the director released a special note. Even in this note, he has especially used the same line.

As he specifically highlighted the line “Ippude Modalaindi” with a different font and color, it appears like he has indirectly revealed the film’s title. One wonders if Pawan and Harish are doing some kind of political thriller with loads of action comedy and titled it “Ippude Modalaindi”.

Though Harish hasn’t spoken anything of the title, fans are now celebrating that he came up with an interesting title for the movie #PSPK28.
