Vijay Devarakonda Wants ‘Double Ismart’?

Share

Rumour has that “Ismart Shankar” is actually written by Puri Jagan with Vijay Devarakonda in mind, but the director never acknowledged it. Other day hero Ram has however told that he and Puri have deloped the script together sitting in Goa, which clears the air that the script is in fact written only after Ram came aboard.

But the thing is, as Puri Jagan announced the sequel to the film, ‘Double Ismart’, here comes a surprising thing. On Friday night, we hear that young sensation Vijay Devarakonda has met Puri Jagan at the directors ‘Cave’ to make sure that they work together. He is said to have evinced interesting to star in the sequel of the movie which Puri and

Had ‘Dear Comrade’ turned bigger hit, Vijay calculations and plans would have been different. Given that the film hasn’t performed up to the mark, the actor is said to be contemplating to do some massy film such that his fans will get their thirst satiated. But we have to see if Puri Jagan will make the sequel with him.

As Ram himself evinced interest to star in the sequel, though not to take it off immediately, we wonder if Puri will now go ahead with Vijay for it.

Industry Boycotting Comedian Prithvi?

Share

Comedian Prithvi was one of the staunch YSRCP sympathiser and more than two years before the general elections, he has been speaking in support of Jagan Mohan Reddy. Apart from participating in Jagan’s Padayatra, he also campaigned for Party. As the polls came nearer, he increased his intensity and spoke aggressively. He even didn’t shy away from criticising Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan.

Considering his political attack on Kalyan, a speculation unearthed that Mega family has decided not to have as part of their films any more, except for ongoing projects. But, the comedian has condemned it at that time. Without naming anyone, Prithvi has now stated that ‘I am not being considered for movies because of the fact that I pitched for YSRCP’.

It is known that Prithvi has become the Chairman of Bhakti channel recently. So, while speaking to media in Hyderabad, he has alleged that ‘few industry people are not giving me any work after I became the chairman and some of them even took back the advances they gave for films which I committed earlier’. He also added, ‘Only because of the good reputation I earned through films, I am able to become the SVBC chairman. So, I will always be indebted to the industry.’

Prithvi went to hint that an investigation will ordered against the previous SVBC chairmen, including B Raghavendra Rao, in case of any irregularities. ‘As SVBC chairman, I will always work with full commitment and there will no comparison to Raghavendra Rao in this matter,’ he ended.

Share

After the release of her last 2 movies Singam 3 and Katamarayudu a couple of years ago, a lot has happened in Chennai beauty Shruti Haasan’s life. Shruti fell in love with a London-based Italian theatre actor named Michael Corsale. She took a long break from movies and concentrated on her music career in London.

However, Shruti returned to Chennai after she broke up with Michael earlier this summer. Since then, she has been on a look out for the right scripts for her acting comeback. Now, it’s been learned that Shruti is keen to follow the footsteps of heroines like Nayanthara, Anushka, and Taapsee.

Apparently, the Haasan girl is on a hunt for female-oriented scripts which can be simultaneously made in Telugu and Tamil. She is even said to have rejected a couple of Telugu scripts in the process. She recently signed a project each in Tamil and Hindi opposite Vijay Sethupathi and Vidyut Jammwal respectively. Whether her dream of doing a solo lead will come true in the near future remains to be seen.

Centre to probe data theft by KCR government

Share

The National Democratic Alliance government at the Centre will initiate a probe into the complaints of illegal accumulation and integration of personal data pertaining to citizens of Telangana by the Telangana Rashtra Samithi government through ‘Samagra Vedika’ initiative.

An assurance to this effect was given by Union Minister of State for Home Affairs G Kishan Reddy to a delegation of Congress leaders from the state led by AICC official spokesperson Dasoju Sravan, who alleged that the data was being misused by TRS party for political gains.

He pointed out to a recent speech by IT secretary Jayesh Ranjan in which he had confessed that the State Government was using an algorithm which gathered the private data pertaining to various citizens available with various departments of the State and otherwise.

“The statements made by Jayesh Ranjan clearly reflect that the Government of Telangana has illegally indulged in secretive collection, integration and storage of data, more particularly, private and personal information of the citizens without their permission or consent,” he said

“It is apparent that the Government of Telangana is literally tracking every digital transaction of citizens from various government departments, private organisations and banks and financial institutions including personal emails, passwords etc,” Sravan said in the complaint.

Sravan alleged that the Telangana Government appeared to have dubious intent to utilize this massive people’s data for political or private purposes and hence, without any prior consent or without any specific reason has indulged in collation and storage of large amount of private information of individuals/citizens.

Describing the initiative as completely arbitrary, illegal and contrary to the law established by the Supreme Court, he said that the Supreme Court, in its judgement pertaining to Aadhar Law delivered in September 2018, had categorically opined that the right to privacy can’t be impinged without a just, fair and reasonable law.

Narasimhan To Administer J&K?

Share

If the reports coming from New Delhi are to be believed, Telangana Governor E S L Narasimhan is likely to be appointed as the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir.

On Monday, the NDA government took a historic decision revoking Article 370 that granted autonomous status to Jammu and Kashmir as an independent state and declaring it to be an integral part of India.

The Centre also issued a gazette notification declaring Jammu and Kashmir as two separate Union Territories – Jammu and Kashmir region as UT with legislature and Ladakh-Leh region as another UT without legislature.

Following this, the Centre is planning to appoint a Lt Governor for the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.

Sources said the Home Ministry has zeroed in on Narasimhan for the job. Orders to this effect are likely to be issued shortly.

Apparently, the Centre felt Narasimhan is the most suitable person for the Lt Governor post for various reasons.

First, he is a retired IPS officer who had worked as Intelligence Bureau chief and in other capacities in the Ministry of Home Affairs. Secondly, Narasimhan is also a close associate of National Security Advisor Ajit Dhoval.

Thirdly, Narasimhan had a fair understanding of controlling the law and order, as he had worked in the dreaded Maoist regions like Chhattisgarh.

Fourthly, he also has a fair understanding of the issues emerging out of the formation of a new state or UT, as was evident from the issues he had handled during the bifurcation of combined Andhra Pradesh state.

Mojo TV ex-boss swindled Rs 5 cr staff money?

Share

It is now official. Employees of Mojo TV, which created a sensation in the Telugu electronic media circles for over a year with its mobile journalism, issued a statement that the channel is being wound up.

According to the statement, the new management of the channel assured to give three months’ of salary to all the employees and also to accommodate them in other channels depending on the requirement.

But what was shocking in the statement that the “working journalists” of Mojo TV, blamed it on former chief executive officer of popular news channel TV9 V Ravi Prakash and former CEO of Mojo TV Revathi for the sorry state of affairs in the channel.

According to them, Mojo TV was founded by Ravi Prakash and his associates from the money siphoned off from TV9 illegally.

“We all thought Mojo TV was being run from out of the profits of TV9. But now, we have realised that it was established on a fraudulent foundation. We should have suspected the foul play when we were paid salaries in cash, instead of through bank transactions,” the statement said.

It also further alleged that the ex-CEO of Mojo TV had swindled Rs 5 crore money to be paid to the staff towards three months’ salary.

After Ravi Prakash’s scam was exposed, the ex-CEO of Mojo TV approached the new management of TV9 and admitted the fraud in launching Mojo TV.

She said she would convince the staff to wind up the channel by paying them three months’ salary.

“Accordingly, she collected Rs 5 crore from the management but did not inform the same to the staff. When the deadline ended, the management insisted us to quit the jobs. When we demanded three months’ salary, the management clearly told us our accounts had already been settled through the ex-CEO. It was a shock to us,” the statement said.

Finally, the management showed a lot of concern to us and agreed to pay us our dues, the staff said.

Where Is Nagababu In Narsapuram Meeting?

Share

Other day Janasena president Pawan Kalyan has toured Bhimavaram and conducted a parliamentary constituency meeting in Narsapuram will all the leaders and cadres of the party. But the one person who is missing in action at this meeting is mega brother Nagababu.

For the uninitiated, Nagababu contested in the recent election as Janasena party’s MP candidate from Narsapuram and got defeated by YSRC candidate. Since then, the mega brother is not so active in politics and is not seen anywhere in Janasena meetings too. But he was supposed to attend the review meeting conducted by Pawan Kalyan, isn’t it?

Going by the pictures of the event, Nagababu couldn’t be seen at the event and wonders if he missed it due to other commitments or skipped it intentionally.

Pawan said had he wanted to win as MLA, he said he would had contested on PRP ticket itself in 2009 itself. He also thanked everyone who voted for Janasena for believing him and the party.

Pawan also criticized Jagan for not keeping his word on pensions. “Rs 3000 pension was promised. Whereas the government has increased only Rs 250 now. Even that pension is also not reaching to all on time,” Pawan commented.

#BiggBoss03: The Groups In House Exposed

Share

No one spoke openly about the politics that are getting piled up inside the Bigg Boss house until the exit of TV9 journalist Jaffer. After his eviction from the show, Jaffer openly criticised this group and exposed it to the public as well.

With tears rolling from his eyes, as he is about the catch the exit door, Jaffer uttered in a low voice, “Varun, don’t ever say that Baba Bhaskar is doing politics, don’t say that”. And then, he also commented in that sobbing voice, “Vithika, don’t ever bash Sreemukhi like that”. Later after reaching the stage, upon the insistence of Nagarjuna, Jaffer has further questioned Varun Sandesh about the groupism.

Jaffer revealed that Varun is leading a faction that has Rahul Sipligunj as the vice-captain while Vithika is the de facto leader who operates through the back of her husband. Now that this group is exposed, there is another girl-group that has V6 Savitri (Siva Jyothi), Himaja, Ashu Reddy and Rohini as the participating members.

Last year, Samrat is the one to establish such a group in the Bigg Boss house and that didn’t click with the audiences. We have to see what happens to Varun Sandesh’s group this year.

Charan, Rana, Sharwa – Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara!

Share

Other day mega power star Ram Charan has conveyed Friendship Day wishes to not just Jr NTR, saying #RRRYehDosti, but also shared pictures of his three best friends, who are with him right from the childhood. And that gave new thoughts to film lovers now.

Apparently, the mega hero shared his photographs with heroes Sharwanand, Rana Daggubati and producer Vikky of UV Creations, to share the Friendship Day wishes with everyone. While Jr NTR is his newfound friend, the other three are friends with him from childhood. And these friends always flaunted their camaraderie at film events, interviews, and other places.

Now that Charan and Jr NTR are working together, many are feeling that he should even work with Sharwa and Rana for a movie that will be produced by Vikky. Maybe they should consider something like that of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara where the three could star as friends.

As Tollywood has recently opened up the door for multi-starrers, surely these coming of age movies will work big time in case if they plan one. At least for next Friendship Day, home such a thing happens.

Tollywood’s Lust Stories: Four Directors Aboard

Share

‘Lust Stories’ is one of those films that popularized the concept of Anthology movies in India though such experiments are made much early in Bollywood. An anthology film will have 4-5 segments and each one will be directed by a different director. For the kind of content Lust Stories had, it surely got the acclaim.

And now, we hear that four Telugu directors are joining hands to make a similar anthology film for Netflix. They are none other than Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Nandini Reddy, Tarun Bhaskar and Sankalp Reddy. While Nandini and Tarun are known for their rom-coms, Sandeep’s Arjun Reddy is so big that all the tinsel towns in India are eagerly looking for his next. Then we have Sankalp Reddy who came up with India’s best underwater and space movies.

Now that these four are joining hands, one wonders what could be the concept of the movie that will be directed by them for Netflix. We hear that Bollywood producer Ronny Screwala is actually materializing this film, and he produced many films for Netflix on his RSVP Films banner, while he sold out his UTV to Disney earlier.

Talk Of The Town: Married Anchor’s Glamour Show

Share

Often some young and eligible hosts and anchors indulge in flaunting their glamorous looks such that they get more attention. Some of them get their career flying post those fascinating sparkles as it happened in the case of Anasuya and Rashmi, some get into the act very late.

Other day at the pre-release event of Manmadhudu 2, aged and married anchor Syamala, who has last year shot to fame after Bigg Boss stint, has stunned everyone with her major glamour treat. Dressed in a designer outfit, Syamala has set tongues wagging with her cleavage on display. That has however wondered everyone as to why she indulged in such spicy skin show now.

Neither Syamala will get some glamorous roles, nor she will be ready to do a feat like Anasuya on the small screen, as she made that clear earlier. But now that she’s flaunting her skin, will she get such offers from the tinsel town. Also, they expect a bit of sleek and slender look for hot looking anchors, and Syamala is on the downside when compared. So what’s in store for her?

Earlier, the likes of Udayabhanu and others also flaunted their glamorous avatar in the same way once or twice, but later got forgotten.

Top 5: Bellamkonda Gets Some Respite With Rakshasudu!

Share

1) Rakshasudu: Bellamkonda Srinivas finally puts an end to his streak of lacklustre films with Rakshasudu, a frame-to-frame remake of Tamil hit Ratsasan.

The film is a taut investigative thriller that will surely impress those who haven’t seen the original.

Rakshasudu had a fairly good first weekend despite rains. However, it will need to hold well for a week or two to be a profitable venture for its buyers.

2) iSmart Shankar: iSmart Shankar continued to do well on the weekend despite many new releases. It is one of the true blockbusters of the year.

It is likely to run for fifty days in major centers across Telugu states.

3) Hobbs and Shaw: The new action adventure from Fast and Furious series has taken Indian box office by storm.

It had a very good first weekend at the box office despite underwhelming reviews. It is getting the thumbs up from filmgoers.

4) Guna 369: Karthikeya’s new film isn’t a damp squib like Hippie, but it isn’t a blockbuster like RX 100 either.

It had a pretty ordinary weekend and needs to recover a lot in the coming days.

5) Dear Comrade: Vijay Deverakonda’s film crashed at the box office in its first week itself. It ran into deficits on weekdays, which means its business has come to a close on Sunday.
