Taapsee Pannu shared a sneak peek into an actors life showing the moment between “reality and drama”.
Taapsee on Monday tweeted a photograph of herself looking into a mirror and getting her make-up done.
“That moment between reality and drama. Actors life,” Taapsee captioned the image.The 31-year-old actress is currently gearing up for the release of her upcoming film “Mission Mangal”, revolving around the all-women team of scientists who made India’s Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) possible.
“Mission Mangal” also stars Akshay Kumar, Sonakshi Sinha, Vidya Balan, Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari, Nithya Menon and Sharman Joshi.
She also has “Saand Ki Aankh” lined up for release. It based on the world’s oldest sharpshooters Chandro and Prakashi Tomar. The film, also starring Bhumi Pednekar, is directed by Tushar Hiranandani.
Taapsee will essay the role of Prakashi, while Bhumi, who will play Chandro in the film, shared a photograph of herself along with Taapsee.
Sukumar Not Happy with Allu Arjun
Director Sukumar will have to wait for another eight months to start his new film.Allu Arjun will begin director Sriram Venu’s “Icon” as soon he wraps up the shoot of Trivikram’s romantic entertainer.
Allu Arjun recently had an altercation with a senior co-director Satyam on the sets of Trivikram when the said co-director didn’t inform the cancel of the shoot and change in schedules.He got infuriated with the delays in the shoot. It was clear that he wants the film to be finished fast so that he would focus on “Icon”.
If Allu Arjun begins “Icon” first, it would disappoint Sukumar. Sukumar was to direct Mahesh Babu’s movie from September 2019 but he got miffed when the Superstar preferred Anil Ravipudi over him.
Mahesh Babu told Sukumar that he would finish Anil Ravipudi’s “Sarileru Neekevvaru” by December and will begin his film from Jan 2020. But Sukumar wanted his film to go to the sets before Anil Ravipudi’s film. Then he moved to Allu Arjun’s camp.
But as things stand today, Sukumar has not gained anything much.
Nani Puts Promotion on Hold
As GreatAndhra.com reported earlier, Nani made a huge mistake of announcing the release date of “Gang Leader” when the media wrote that the film’s getting postponed.
Without thinking about release dates of other movies, he took it to Twitter to announce the first look poster, the first song’s release date, etc.
However, Prabhas’s “Saaho” got postponed from August 15 to August 30. This has forced Nani’s team to change the release date of their film “Gang Leader” which was originally scheduled for August 30.
Now he has to look for a better date in September and begin promotions afresh later.
The first song “Ra Ra” composed by Anirudh has failed to strike a chord. It is more like a background musical bit in the movie than a catchy song.
Producers Mythri Movie Makers have now decided to put all the promotions on hold and begin the campaign next month.
Why KCR took five years to show ‘real administration’?
Telangana chief minister KCR declared in Telangana State Legislative Assembly three days ago that he will show what ‘real administration’ is from August 15.By making such an announcement, KCR himself admitted in the Assembly that he did ‘nothing’ nor did he offer ‘real administration’ during the last five years.
KCR completed five years as CM on June 2, 2019.
After working as CM for nearly five years and two months, KCR now suddenly realised the need to offer ‘real administration.’.What prevented KCR from offering ‘real administration’ during the past five years and why KCR failed to offer ‘real administration’ till now are the major questions now being raised in political and official circles.
TRS party sources said KCR now realised that all his much-hyped schemes or initiaitves or programmes taken up during the past five years have gone nowhere now and they had almost hit a dead end.The much publicised Rythu Bandhu turned out to be damb squib within a year as over 40 lakh farmers are still awaiting money in their accounts though two months are over in current kharif season.
He could distribute money to only 20 lakh farmers so far.
Mission Bhagiratha water is yet to reach the households.Crores of Haritha Haram saplings whithered due to negligence of officials and failure of monsoon.
The cleansing of revenue records turned a cropper as it only increased largescale corruption in revenue department to correct the records, which is being exposed by KCR’s own media Namasthe Telangana, T News by running a special page titled ‘dharma ganta’ every day.
The sheep distribution programme and 2BHK houses for poor went for a toss.All these circumstances forced KCR to open his eyes, come out of Pragathi Bhavan and farmhouse, and do some work as CM at least in his second term.Because luck favoured KCR to win Assembly elections in December last despite failing to fulfill any of the major poll promises made in 2014.
However, KCR now realised that luck does not favour all the times and he should do something concrete to satisfy people and the result is KCR coming out with a statement promising to offer ‘real administration’ for the next four years.
#BiggBoss3 Off To A Glittering Start
Amidst a lot of excitement and controversies, the third season of the hit reality show ‘Bigg Boss’ has finally off in a glittering style tonight. Nagarjuna’s charming presence as the host has added the extra zing to the show.
While interacting with the audiences, Nag kicked off Bigg Boss 3 by remembering how NTR and Nani had hosted the show’s first and second seasons respectively.
He then introduced all the 15 contestants and later saw them off to the Bigg Boss house, where the will spend the next 100 days, fighting for the title and the cash prize.
TV celebs Shiva Jyothi and Ravi Krishna were the first to enter the Bigg Boss house, followed by Instagram star Ashu Reddy, who’s popular as Jr. Samantha. Popular TV9 journalist Jaffer was the next to enter the house.
It was then the turn of actress Himaja and playback singer Rahul Sipligunj to step into the house and interact with their fellow contestants. Actress Rohini, choreographer Baba Shankar and Uyyala Jampala fame Punarnavi Bhoopalam is the next celeb to make a colorful entry into the house.
Popular character artiste Hema and TV star Ali Reza, upcoming comedian Mahesh Vitta and hotshot anchor Sreemukhi are the next to debut on the Bigg Boss show.

Roja’s husband wins elections
After years of anticipation, YSRCP firebrand leader Roja’s fate changed. She won successive elections from Nagari constituency. Not just that, the party she is representing also came into power with a huge victory. However, everyone thought Roja would be inducted to the cabinet. Due to some equations, she was snubbed.
AP CM Jagan who noticed Roja getting disappointed, made her the chairman of APIIC and also allotted her cabinet rank. Now Roja is in the peak position of her political career and complimenting her is her husband, Selvamani, who won a big election.
This is nothing to do with politics as we all know Selvamani is a Tamil director and now he got elected as the President of Tamil Nadu, Film Directors Association. The elections were recently held and it was a neck-to-neck battle between Selvamani and his opponents. Seems like many had a good opinion on Selvamani and he won the election with a huge majority.
Congrats to Selvamani and also to Roja.
Lion King: Third Biggest Hollywood Hit Here
Seems like last Friday’s Hollywood retreat is going to spin magic at the box office as ‘The Lion King’ is being enormously liked by kids and parents. Family audiences have rushed to theatres big time across India as the figures from the box office suggest.
For a Hollywood movie in India, The Lion King has the third biggest opening after Avengers movies. After collecting close to 20-23 crores nett on Sunday, the film posted almost 50+ crores collection in its first weekend. And with no other biggies ready to threaten its presence at the box office, it may continue its legacy for the next couple of weeks, pushing itself into the 100 crore club.
The Lion King got released in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, with Nani and Ravi Shankar giving voices for Simba and Mufasa in the Telugu version. The film got well received at multiplexes with almost 14% jump in the Sunday collection from what it collected on Saturday.
Though the story of The Lion King is known to everybody as the same film got made by Disney couple of times, this time they have come up with a realistic-looking version of the film like Jungle Book and that’s what impressed the audiences.
Rayapati Negotiating With BJP!
The TDP is soon going to lose one more leader and he is none other than former MP Rayapati Sambasiva Rao. Rayapati is the face of TDP in Guntur district as he has huge following and cadre.
Andhra Pradesh BJP which is doing ‘Operation Kamal’ is yet to hold talks with Rayapati. But the TDP leader made up his mind that there is no future for him in the cycle party.
Rayapati expected Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanams (TTD) chairman post when he joined TDP. Unavoidable circumstances disappointed Rayapati as then CM of AP, Chandrababu appointed Putta Sudhakar Yadav as TTD chief.
Since then Rayapati is maintaining distance from TDP. Now with the party in full crisis, Rayapati doesn’t want to waste any time by sticking to TDP.
We also hear from political circles that BJP National General Secretary Ram Madhav had reportedly paid a visit to Rayapati’s residence in Guntur couple of days back. But it was a courtesy call and had no political significance. There are reports that Rayapati has laid his terms and conditions before joining BJP.
In the coming days, the top brass from BJP will negotiate things with Rayapati and will settle them.
BJP is leaving no stone unturned to grab the opposition status for time being and later will do whatever is needed to grab the power.
#BiggBoss3: Nag Rocks On Day 1
As Akkineni Nagarjuna turned the host of Bigg Boss latest edition, there will be those inevitable comparisons with Jr NTR and Nani who hosted the first and second seasons. But then, Nagarjuna scored well in all the departments, thus becoming an instant super hit.
Nagarjuna invited every single celebrity to a ‘natural’ smile, grace and hospitality are simply superb. He has brought his experience as a star, his stardom, and his funny bones together to the Big Boss house, thereby making the viewer experience a pleasure. More than the contestants, it is Nagarjuna’s body language that made the introduction event so special.
The way Nag spoke in his impeccable diction, superfluous humour, bang on timing and philosophies of life with a bit of satire is too adorable. And his naughty liners like ‘give me a hug’ are instantly giving positive vibes. We have to say that Nag might stay in Big Boss for a long time, hosting a horde of seasons like Salman Khan does in Hindi arena.
“Tarak said ‘Na TV’, Nani said ‘Na Ni TV’, but now in Season 3, I will say ‘Mana TV’ for all of us,” said Nagarjuna, referring to the giant screen through which he interacts with the housemates inside the Big Boss house.
