Suriya’s Telugu Market Goes down !

Share


Hero Suriya had a great Telugu market, all thanks to Gajini and there was no looking back for him since then. But of late, owing to Suriya’s poor choices, his Telugu market has got largely affected.

While his 24 movie (directed by Vikram K Kumar) was sold for whopping Rs 22 Crore in AP, Singam 3 (Yamudu 3) was sold for Rs 18 Crore. His next film Thaanaa Serndha Koottam (TSK) that released in Telugu as Gang (based on Hindi film Special 26) earned Rs 15 Crore for its Telugu theatrical rights. The latest is that the Telugu theatrical rights of Suriya’s NGK which is being released with the same name in Telugu has been bought for 9 Crore by Radhamohan of Sri Sathya Sai Arts.

This clearly indicates the steep fall in the theatrical business of Suriya’s films in Telugu. It’s high time, Suriya should concentrate on his Telugu market and choose films accordingly. He should consider the films that have universal appeal in order to satiate his fans, cutting across languages and regions.

Suriya’s Films’ Telugu rights

24 – 22cr
Singam 3 (Yamudu 3) – 18cr
TSK (Gang) – 15cr
NGK – 9cr

Homam Performed for Pawan Kalyan’s Win

Share


A homam praying for the win of Pawan Kalyan in the polls was conducted by spiritual guru Narasimham who is close to Pawan Kalyan and Trivikram. This did happen sometime back but the news got leaked out now.

This spiritual guru regularly does poojas for Trivikram and his friends.

As Pawan Kalyan contested from two assembly seats – Gajuwaka and Bhimavaram and reports came out that his win would not be easy, the homam was conducted to ward off ‘evil eye’ and seeking vijayam.

It is said that costly items like Rs 50 thousand worth Sari, gold and silver jewellery and precious stones were offered in the poornahuthi as part of ritual of the homam.

Pawan Kalyan and his team have been saying that his Jana Sena party will win minimum 25 seats. If his party really bags such great number of seats, then the homam guru will be honored handsomely.

Central forces in AP on counting day!

Share

At least 10 battalions of additional paramilitary forces are expected to land in different parts of Andhra Pradesh, especially in sensitive areas, to prevent outbreak of violence on the day of counting of votes on May 23.

Apparently, the state election authorities are apprehensive that there could be violence in some parts of the state during the counting process, especially where the contest is tough. So they made a request with the Centre to send additional forces.

In fact, the EC authorities, who have been acting on every complaint from the YSR Congress party, have taken the decision on the additional forces based on a demand from YSRC leaders V Vijay Sai Reddy and others.

The YSRC leaders submitted a memorandum to the Election Commission to deploy additional central forces on May 23 in Andhra Pradesh during counting of votes.

Sai Reddy alleged that the TDP was planning to create law and order problem at places where the results are going against it and had been training the counting agents as provocateurs.

“We have urged the EC to provide additional forces during the counting in all the centres to thwart any untoward incident. We have also brought to the notice of the EC about the duplicity of voting by students whose names were not rounded off from the original voter list, despite casting their vote, and they were allowed to use the option of postal ballot,” he said.

YSRC leaders also demanded that Chittoor district collector Pradyumna be refrained from taking part in the election duty on the counting day as he had behaved like a TDP worker and same is the case with Rapthadu Returning Officer in Ananthapur district.

TDP minister’s wife still feels she has power!

Share

It is just five days to go for the declaration of results for the assembly elections in Andhra Pradesh and the fate of the ruling Telugu Desam Party, including its ministers and MLAs will be decided then.

Already, the ministers, including TDP president and chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu, have been become powerless due to enforcement of model code of conduct. And their authority as ministers would be there only for name sake only till May 23.

But Andhra Pradesh civil supplies minister Prathipati Pulla Rao’s wife P Venkayamma still feels her husband is a powerful minister and she can wield influence using his authority.

But she had to face a humiliating experience at a toll plaza on Hyderabad-Guntur highway in Nalgonda district on Friday evening.

Venkayamma was travelling from Hyderabad to Guntur in the minister’s car which itself is a violation of rules as nobody else, except the minister should use the official car.

Her car was stopped at the toll plaza at Madgulapalli and the toll plaza employee asked her to pay the toll fee of Rs 56.

This got the minister’s wife irritated.

“How dare you stop the vehicle of a minister and ask me to pay the toll fee? The vehicle has a sticker of an MLA and is entitled to get a free passage at the toll plazas,” she shouted at the employee.

However, the toll plaza worker told her firmly that he would allow the MLA’s vehicle only if the MLA is travelling inside. If others travel by the same vehicle, there will be no free passage and they have to pay the toll fee.

“You may be a minister’s wife, but not a minister. So, you have to pay the fee,” he asserted.

He also pointed out that the validity of the “MLA” sticker had expired way back in December 2018.

But Venkayamma continued to argue with him for some time, but the toll plaza staff did not relent. They refused to allow her till she paid Rs 56. Having no other pay, she paid the money grumblingly.

She told the reporters later that she had never faced such a situation in any of the toll plazas during the travel, though she frequently travelled in the same car between Guntur and Hyderabad.

Lookout notices on Ravi Prakash, Sivaji!

Share

It appears noose is tightening around former chief executive officer of the popular Telugu television channel TV9 Ravi Prakash and his accomplice – Telugu actor Sivaji in connection with a series of frauds committed by them in the channel.

The Cyberabad police in Hyderabad on Saturday served lookout notices on Ravi Prakash and Shivaji, as they failed to respond to the notices served on them under 41-A of Criminal Procedure Code and appear before the police.

The police have sent notices to all the airports in the country so that the duo would not escape to foreign countries. They are also requesting the passport authorities to impound the passports of Ravi Prakash and Sivaji.

It is learnt the Cyberabad police pressed into service four special teams to search for the two accused and arrest them without any warrant.

The police had already filed several cases against Ravi Prakash, Sivaji and two others on charges of forgery and criminal conspiracy, among others.

The police claimed to have gained clinching evidence with regard to Ravi Prakash’s attempts to stall the new management from taking over the channel by creating a back-dated agreement between him and actor Sivaji for fake transfer of 40,000 shares and thereby lodging a complaint to the National Company Law Tribunal against the management change.

What caused more trouble to Ravi Prakash is the latest complaint lodged by the Alanda Media with the police that he had disposed of the TV9 title and other trademarks of the channel to Mojo TV owned by him for a paltry Rs 99,000. The police booked a case against him.

Will KCR become ‘accidental PM’ like Deve Gowda?

Share

TRS chief and Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao is learnt to be slowly emergeing as the “Prime Minister candidate” like Deve Gowda had emerged 22 years ago in 1996.

KCR too is learnt to be making all the efforts to become PM after LS results on May 23.

KCR is learnt to be in ‘secret touch’ with Congress leaders Kamal Nath, Ahmed Patel, Ghulam Nabi Azad, YSRCP chief YS Jagan, Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee, BJD chief Naveen Patnaik, JDS chief Kumaraswamy, JDU chief Nitish Kumar and Left parties and urging him to support him as PM if the LS results throw a Hung Parliament like 1996 where either BJP or Congress cannot form governments on their own.

If national media reports are to be belived, KCR is emerging as the ‘consensus candidate’ for all non-BJP and non-Congress parties when compared with Mamata Banerjee, Chandrababu Naidu, Mayawati, Akhilesh Yadav etc.

The national media reports say KCR is keen to lead the government comprising of regional parties and left parties with the support of Congress from outside.

The Congress too is learnt to be keen on supporting a KCR-led government at the Centre to prevent BJP from coming to power and also to check other leaders like Mamata Banerjee, Chandrababu, Mayawati, Nitish Kumar from becomg PM.

If all goes well, we will see KCR as PM next week. There is no need to tell that KCR’s son KTR will become Telangana CM.

Seems shocking political developments would be unfolded both in India and in Telangana next week with KCR becoming PM and KTR becoming CM.
