Prabhas, Anushka And The Fresh Rumours From UK
When it comes to rumours on the real-life chemistry between Baahubali stars Prabhas and Anushka, Bollywood is a bit ahead as they have earlier cooked stories that both the actors are staying together in a love-nest, a surfaced property in Mumbai. And here comes the fresh rumors.
As Prabhas and Anushka headed to London to attend the screening of Baahubali at Royal Albert Music Hall, and with the hero’s birthday falling four days later, Bollywood gossip mills are busying trying to cook stories between these two checkpoints. They are already spreading that the lovers have chosen the United Kingdom to spend Prabhas’ birthday day.
And tomorrow if Prabhas and Anushka really caught having breakfast in the vintage streets of London or if they go sightseeing to somewhere in Glasgow or if they are pubbing in south England, surely Bollywood masala will spin it off as big news to serve to Prabhas’ fans up north.
Why Ohmkar’s Remakes Not Working Out?
Though anchor Ohmkar credits himself as the writer, screenplay designer and directors, his last two movies are scene-to-scene remakes of films that were super successful in other languages. But then, the films Raju gari Gadhi 2 and Raju Gari Gadhi 3 have neither received critical acclaim nor audiences worshipped (say worshipping) them inside theatres.
While Raju Gari Gadhi 2 is the remake of Malayalam film Pretham, the latest Raju Gari Gadhi 3 happens to be the remake of Tamil movie Dhilluku Dhuddu 2. While those films are hit in their respective tinsel towns, here critics are ripping apart these movies for lack of consistency, proper story and storytelling abilities. Also, this is because of another important factor that Ohmkar is missing out.
For RGG2, actually both Nagarjuna and Samantha are two over-cast characters in the movie. Their presence brought in unwanted hype and none believed that the profession of mentalist really exists. And to witness Samantha in such character that commits suicide over a leaked MMS didn’t go well.
Coming to RGG3, here the biggest mistake is choosing brother Ashwin Babu for the lead role, as the lead in the original is played by an able comedian like Santhanam. A guy with acting prowess and comedy timing would have done the job well. In case if Ohmkar’s remake horrors under the name of ‘Raju Gari Gadhi’ franchise ahs to work, he has to get the casting right.
Balayya son-in-law blames Transco for his losses
Matukumilli Sri Bharat, younger son-in-law of senior actor and Telugu Desam Party MLA Nandamuri Balakrishna, is in deep soup with Andhra Bank giving a newspaper notification seeking to auction the assets of his power project at Garividi for allegedly defaulting payment of Rs 13 crore loan to the bank.
Apart from Sri Bharat, the bank named his wife Tejaswini and a few others connected with his power plant – VBC Renewable Energy – as the defaulters of the loan.
Bharat, who contested as TDP candidate in the recent Lok Sabha elections from Visakhapatnam parliamentary constituency, blamed it on AP Transco for the losses incurred by the company.
Reacting to a comment made by YSR Congress party MP V Vijay Sai Reddy on twitter that describing him as a thief who had looted public money, Bharat said the outstanding loan instalments of the power project with the bank amounted to only Rs 2 crore.
“But the outstanding dues from AP Transco for our power project for the power it had supplied was Rs 3 crore. Had AP Transco cleared our dues to the power project, we could have repaid the bank instalments completely,” Bharat said.
He pointed out that as a young entrepreneur, he had set up a small 3 MW solar power project at Garividi with the encouragement given by his father.
“We entered into an agreement with APTransco to supply power in 2016 and have been supplying power to the grid, but we have not been getting the money for the power we had sold to APTransco,” he said.
“Despite the government being unable to pay dues due to financial difficulties, it is very sad that I have been accused of stealing people’s money. Many businessmen in our state are unable to pay salaries to the employees due to pending bills. As an auditor, you know how difficult it is to run the company under these circumstances. Please encourage the young entrepreneurs, instead of making wild allegations,” Bharat said.
Naidu degraded media, says Dharmana
Telugu Desam Party president and former chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu has no moral right to talk about the freedom of press, as he has brought down the respectability of the media in public.
This was alleged by former minister and senior MLA of YSR Congress party Dharmana Prasada Rao.
“Naidu does not have any moral right to talk on freedom of the press. He has misused the media to cover up his misdeeds. The TDP leaders had looted the state during the five years of Naidu’s regime,” he said.
The former minister said chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy had great respect in the media and believed in freedom of press.
“He is only trying to counter the attempts of a section of media which is conspiring to defame his government. He only wants to counter such attempts through legal recourse,” Dharmana said.
He said the Jagan government had only brought out a GO seeking to take legal action against the media which publish baseless stories.
“It is just a GO. Not a single case has been filed against any media house till now. Can the TDP chief show any evidences for his allegations?” he asked.
On the other hand, there were several instances of Naidu intimidating the media and troubling them during his regime, he alleged.
“Even though the yellow media had written positive stories on Naidu describing his rule as fantastic, the people have rejected it because they know the facts,” Dharmana said.
Disco Raja First Single: Funky 80’s Retro Style Song!
Disco Raja is based on reincarnation theme set in the eighties period. First single from Disco Raja is an eighties retro style melody with legendary singer Bala Subramanyam rendering it in his inimitable style.
The song that goes Nuvvu Naatho Emannavo Nenem Vinnano is instantly likeable with Sirivennela Seetarama Sastry penning catchy yet meaningful lyrics.
Thaman who has recently delivered a chartbuster song Samajavaragamana in Ala Vaikuntapuramulo is in prime form here too.
The rhythms and the sounds are on point to make it sound like an authentic eighties song. There is a deliberate attempt to make this one reminiscent of Ilayaraja’s songs.
Disco Raja has been lying low because of recent record of Mass Maharaja Raviteja. But the first single will surely keep the film buzzing on social media and on FM channels as well.
Directed by V I Anand, the concept based commercial film is gearing up for December release.

SA Cricketer Criticizes Indian hotel, food
South African cricketer Dean Elgar landed in an unwanted controversy by complaining about the facilities of the hotels and food in India. Ahead of the third Test match against India, Elgar spoke to a cricket web-portal and he had shared his experience of the tour which was a tough one for the Proteas.
“It’s a challenging tour. You get stretched as a person, you get stretched as a cricketer,” said Elgar and added, “I think you get to know yourself quite a lot as a person when you come to the smaller places where the hotels are maybe not as good, and you get challenged on the food you eat potentially.”
This did not go down well with the netizens and started trolling Elgar for his comments. Few of them added that Elgar should be provided Presidential Suit and better food for him and South Africa to perform better in the Test series. A few posted Elgar’s comments to BCCI and Sourav Ganguly who is likely to take over the Indian cricket board.
Coming to the third Test, captain Virat Kohli won the toss and elected to bat first.
Watch: First ever all-women spacewalk
Christina Koch and Jesica Meir – these two women astronauts made history as they participated in an all-female spacewalk. They have walked outside the International Space Station at over 7:50 a.m on Friday.
And the reason is, they had to make an urgent repair to space station’s power system. They concluded the spacewalk 7 hours and 17 minutes later, just before 3 p.m. “Another milestone in human space exploration is officially complete!’ said a tweet from NASA.
Moreover, the ladies were also successful in their mission to replace a faulty battery charge/discharge unit (BCDU) that failed to activate earlier this month when new lithium-ion batteries were installed on the station’s exterior, according to NASA.
The video of this history-making has been live-streamed, however, NASA says the failure has not affected station operations or crew safety. Jessica Meir and Christina Koch were seen inside the Quest airlock preparing the U.S. spacesuits and tools they will use on their first spacewalk together on the International Space Station.
It is observed that, earlier in March, NASA had planned an all-female spacewalk but the event has been abrupted as there weren’t enough spacesuits of the right size available on the station. In fact, NASA received falk for not having uniforms stock.
It was Jessica Meir’s first spacewalk and Koch’s fourth, according to NASA. President Donald Trump thanked and applauded them, saying “This is truly historic, and you’re right now on television all over the world so don’t get nervous.”
