Pawan made paid appearance at TANA?
Actor-turned-politician and Jana Sena Party president Pawan Kalyan announced long ago that he had quit acting and taken to full-time politics.
But people still acknowledge him as an actor from the Mega family, rather than politician. If people across the world are still interested in attending his meetings notwithstanding his humiliating electoral debacle, it is only because of their craze for his films.
Probably, Pawan also wants to cash in on this craze among his fans for his films, So, like any other popular actor, he has started demanding money for his public appearances.
The other day, the Jana Sena Party chief attended a session at the annual convention of Telugu Association of North America at Washington D.C. as a special guest.
The session was well attended by Telugu NRIs in big numbers and there was a huge response for his speech.
So far so good. Since he is a full-time politician now, rather than a film celebrity, one might have thought he had attended the TANA convention like any other guest. But, sources said it was a paid appearance by Pawan Kalyan.
Apparently, Pawan Kalyan had charged US dollars 50,000 for attending the TANA convention, apart from the first class air ticket and other facilities. The “appearance fee” is said to be in the name of party fund, sources said.
But what would TANA gain by paying such a huge money to Pawan Kalyan, a failed politician?
It is learnt TANA organisers had collected entry fee for Pawan’s session and since there is still a lot of craze for him among the NRIs, the organisers made a quick buck from the entry tickets to make up for the expenses on the power star!
Sai Pallavi Refused To Kiss Comrade
There are some film stars who lead their careers with certain principles. However, it’s difficult for heroines to follow ‘no lip-locks and no exposing’ policies in a glamorous field like film industry. But there are a few actresses who manage to survive well despite sticking to their principles. Sai Pallavi is one such actress.
In her career spanning 4 years and 9 movies, Sai Pallavi has never exposed her body and always chose performance oriented roles. In fact, she doesn’t sign a film if there’s no significance in her role or the story. And if her character or the script demands lip-locks, she will reject the project straight away. Pallavi had even clarified about her ‘no kissing on-screen’ policy in several interviews in the past.
Already, Sai Pallavi had lost a golden opportunity to work with legendary director Mani Ratnam in Kaatru Veliyadai (Cheliyaa) due to her no kissing policy. And now, Dear Comrade is the latest film that Sai Pallavi has turned down. The passionate lip-locks between Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna was the main highlight of Dear Comrade’s teaser and trailer.
Apparently, Dear Comrade’s director Bharat Kamma had first approached Sai Pallavi for Lilly’s role. However, the Premam girl had turned down the offer politely when she was told that the lip-locks were compulsory in the movie. While Sai Pallavi’s ‘no-kissing’ principle is being appreciated by many, there are also a few people who opine that the actress will go places if she goes easy on her inhibitions and gives her nod to lip-locks.
Manoj Clarifies On Voter Card In Sanga Reddy
Actor Manchu Manoj interacts quite a lot with his fans on social media and he tries responding to as many queries as he can. On Wednesday, the actor took to his Twitter to clarify that a voter card which is under circulation on social media is fake and incorrect.
Going into the news, a media channel has came up with a report Manoj’s voter card has found in Narayankhed municipality, Sanga Reddy district. Reacting to the news, Manoj said that his voter card has Film Nagar address and the government issued card which is under circulation is a fake one. He made an appeal to Collector of Sanga Reddy, Chief Electoral Officer of Telangana and TRS party to get it sorted.
“Came across this video today. I would like to clarify that my voter id card has my filmnagar home address. This is absolutely fake and i request the officials to look into this and do the needful. #CEOTelangana #CollectorSangareddy @trspartyonline” – tweeted Manoj who was lastly seen in 2017’s Okkadu Migiladu.
‘Amma Vodi’ comes with terms and conditions
Andhra Pradesh CM YS Jagan led YSR Congress government is imposing many terms and conditions on the welfare schemes that it announced during the election campaign. First it was the pension. Jagan has promised to increase the pensions from Rs 2000 to Rs 3000. But after taking oath as CM from the very venue, Jagan announced that he would increase Rs 250 per year and for the current year, the YSRCP government is paying Rs 2250 as pension.
Now it’s the turn of ‘Amma Vodi’ which predominantly was the key factor for getting women votes. During the YSRCP’s plenary meeting couple of years back, Jagan said that mothers who will send their kids to schools, his government would pay certain amount.
From first standard to fifth, his government assured to pay Rs 500 per kid and if there are two kids, then mothers would get Rs 1000. From sixth standard to tenth, Jagan announced Rs 750 per kid and for intermediate students, it is Rs 1000. In that case, every mother who sends her kids to schools and colleges would get Rs 12,000, Rs 18,000 and Rs 24,000 for the above mentioned three categories.
While finalising the election manifesto, this scheme is name as ‘Amma Vodi’ and instead of the three categories, they summed all three into one and promised to pay Rs 15,000 per mother. However, the manifesto lacked clarity about the second child norm.
In the recently announced budget Rs 6455.80 crore were allocated to ‘Amma Vodi’ scheme but the main twist came here. The YSRCP government clarified that this scheme is applicable to mothers only with WHITE RATION CARD. There are about 80 lakh students and as per the officials estimation 43 lakh students are eligible for ‘Amma Vodi’ scheme. Also one more norm came in like a shock and the government said it would credit the amount in a mother’s ‘account’ irrespective of the count of kids.
Chiranjeevi’s Version Of ‘Chak De’ Coming Up
Megastar Chiranjeevi has fully wrapped his portions related to Sye Raa and is currently rejuvenating in gym and spa to make sure that he gets into terrific shape before he starts work on Koratala Siva’s movie.
Here is an interesting grapevine about this movie of Chiranjeevi and Koratala, which is in the pipeline for a long time as the shooting of Sye Raa got delayed. We hear that this film has unique content as Chiru will be seen playing the role of a hockey coach who is going through a mid-life crisis. Does that ring any bell?
Yes, this story sounds like that of Shahrukh Khan’s Chak De that took film lovers by a storm as the superstar played the role of Indian women’s team hockey coach. While SRK didn’t have a personal life in that film, we hear that here Chiranjeevi’s love story and family life are going to be the key.
Maybe we should conclude that this latest film is going to be Chiru’s version of Chak De through the eyes of Koratala Siva.

Let’s wait for the official confirmation anyway.
On the other hand, while Karan Johar wanted to produce this film independently, the producer of the Telugu version is said to have expressed his desire to partner up. This led to the break of Karan from Jersey we hear.
