Sakshi and TV9 fought on road
It is well now that media houses Sakshi and TV9 are at loggerheads. Taking this advantage Sakshi TV gave a full coverage of yesterday’s sensational episode which is allegations against TV9 CEO Ravi Prakash.
Sakshi reporter and cameraman reached TV9 office and started their live streaming from there. However, followers of Ravi Prakash who noticed this, objected Sakshi’s reporting and at one moment, they asked Sakshi reporter to leave the place. Ignoring this, Sakshi men continued their live reporting. The situation turned tense in few minutes as Ravi Prakash followers tried to snatch the camera and pushed the reporter. Ravi Prakash men even threatened Sakshi’s reporter and said Jagan’s media has no right.
But as the situation was running out of hand, other media men stepped into the scene. They tried to pacify both Ravi Prakash followers and Sakshi reporter. Looks like Sakshi was thoroughly satisfied with TV9 being in bad books.
Pawan Kalyan will be in Nandyal tomorrow

Finally is going to come out and Pawan Kalyan will be in Nandyal tomorrow.
The Jana Sena chief will meet the family members of SPY Reddy. Pawan will also pay homage to the deceased MP. SPY Reddy died at a corporate hospital in Hyderabad on April 30th.

‘Saw my vote gone to BJP’: NCP Chief
Casting aspersions on faulty and malfunctioning of electronic voting machines (EVMs) in polls, NCP chief Sharad Pawar claimed that he had himself seen during a presentation that a vote cast for his party went to the BJP on the machine. His statements come at a time when several parties across the country have been reporting mass manipulation of EVMs to the Election Commission.
Though he did not claim that all EVMs were manipulated, he said: “I am also concerned about the machine. In Hyderabad and Gujarat, some people kept an EVM before me and asked me to press a button. I pressed the button against ‘watch’ which is our party (NCP’s) symbol and the vote got cast in favour of lotus (BJP) . I saw it happening myself,” he told mediapersons.
What began as a claim in the first phase of elections during Andhra Pradesh and Telangana voting where malfunctioning and manipulation of EVMs was reported, has widely been seen in other states too. Interestingly, most of these claims of manipulated EVMs came from non-BJP ruled states.
Recently, the Supreme Court struck down the Opposition Parties’ demand to verify at least 25% VVPAT slips with EVMs as against the random matching the EC had suggested at 5 polling booths per assembly. Earlier the Opposition parties demanded at least 50% verification.
Nearly 21 opposition parties had approached the Supreme Court seeking a review of its April 8 order. But, the Supreme Court has stuck to its April 8th order on random matching of VVPAT slips with EVMs.
Puri’s Poor Track Record Haunts iSmart Shankar
Puri Jagannadh has pinned high hopes on iSmart Shankar to revive his career.Even the buzz on the film from insiders is highly positive. But that is not ensuring good business deals for iSmart Shankar.
The makers are quoting Rs. 15 crore for India theatrical rights, but the buyers are willing to pay just Rs. 12 crore, which is too low for the combination of Ram and Puri.
Buyers are not ready to risk after seeing how Puri’s recent films performed.
Also Ram has been inconsistent at the box office. There are many misses than hits for him. Perhaps an attractive teaser could push the business forward. iSmart team is currently working on it.
The film is likely to be released in late July or early August.
Ravi Prakash Team Shocks Senior Journalist!
When V Ravi Prakash was ruling the roost in TV9 channel as its chief executive officer and chairman, he faced several allegations of intimidating and blackmailing his rivals and critics.
While Ravi Prakash always used to preach the people that they would question the injustice and pull up the people concerned, he never tolerated anybody who questioned his autocratic behavior.
A team of his close confidants used to jump into action immediately to create troubles for those who write any negative stories against Ravi Prakash or upload any such videos on YouTube, till they delete these videos from online platforms.
Many people were virtually coerced to remove such articles and videos under threat or blackmailing.
The other day, senior journalist and popular columnist Telakapalli Ravi uploaded a video over the goings on in TV9 channel, the hue and cry raised by actor Shivaji over the transfer of channel management etc.
The very next morning, he received a notice from Ravi Prakash team accusing him of violating the Copy Right Act.
Naturally, it terribly hurt Ravi as there was nothing offensive in the report and as a senior journalist, he had the right to comment on any political and business developments. But he could not do anything but to remove the video.
It is not just Ravi, but many others had to succumb to pressure tactics of Ravi Prakash. Now, the situation has changed.
Ravi Prakash is feeling tremors under his feet and his status in the society has become questionable. Entire media is now gunning for his head. After all, every dog has its day!
Megastar Chiru’s Phone Call About Maharshi
“Yes, first half and second half have different backdrops, but what average audiences think about the film is what matters in the end,” says Vamsi Paidipally, who claimed that Maharshi is a super duper blockbuster. Speaking at the success meet, he stated that distributors are adding extra shows of the film as audiences are asking for it.
“Today morning I’m getting a call from an unknown number and the moment I heard the voice opposite side is Chiranjeevi sir’s. His call gave me goosebumps and his five-minute talk about the film gave me the most memorable moments of my life. He said Vamsi save my number, and that is a high point of our conversation” said Vamsi Paidipally.
“Reviews are important, as they will merit out next films. Few reviews said that Maharshi is brilliant, few said it should be better. I take all the positive and negative reviews in stride” he added.
“We are neglecting farmers and the intention of this film is bring attention to that. Then we dealt with a hero who got inspired by his father to succeed at any cost and who later realises that this is not the correct form of success. These different types of layers have worked out well” adds Vamsi Paidipally.

Trailer Talk: ‘Horror-Couple’ Is Back
Prabhudeva and Tamannaah Bhatia are likely to get a tag by audience as ‘Horror-Couple.’ True as the duo are coming up with one more horror drama. But this time, they have confined themselves to Bollywood.
‘Khamoshi’ starring Prabhudeva and Tamannaah had its teaser launch. Frankly the teaser isn’t scary but it is filled with spooky takes. Prabhudeva playing his aged role, appears in grey shades. In the last shot, he drags an axe with his hand and we are not sure whom he is going to kill.
Then comes Tamannaah who is mostly seen in fear in her eyes all throughout the sixty seconds teaser. The lead pair occupy the maximum space in teaser while the film also stars Bhumika Chawla and Sanjay Suri.
Directed by Chakri Toleti, the background music of wolves howling might have some connection with the plot.
Overall ‘Khamoshi’ offers nothing new with the teaser but we need to wait till the film releases. If the plot has content, then audience will definitely give their thumbs up.

Buzz: Nagarjuna’s New Strategy For Manmadhudu 2
For every film, more than the film’s content and quality, it is the publicity that matters a lot these days. And it looks like Akkineni Nagarjuna has understood that a lot after lots of debacles that followed him in recent times.
Film lovers are actually able to spot out that Nagarjuna is going the extra mile to promote his yet to finish Manmadhudu 2. While he talks about the parties happening in Hungary at the shooting spot, his director shared lots of pictures of heroine Rakul from the shoot. Then Annapurna Studios tweets about actors and some funny stuff happening on the sets of this film.
By making social media go abuzz about this under production venture, one understands how much effort Nagarjuna is putting to promote the film. Definitely, this is a new strategy coming from an old horse and it has to work big time to get him the result right this time.
Devi Sri Prasad Becoming Overspent Force
Except a song or two in Vinaya Vidheya Rama and F2, both the Sankranthi releases have seen some mediocre songs delivered to Telugu audiences. Same is the case with Summer films too as both Chitralahari and Maharshi did not have many good songs. Yes, we are talking about films scored by Devi Sri Prasad.
We have to frankly admit that those days are gone where six (or five) songs in an album scored by Devi Sri Prasad turn to be super hits. In the recent times, only the songs of Khaidi No 150 has worked out that way, but all other films got some average tunes from this super talented composer.
Wonder if too much pressure of work is making him delivery ordinary stuff or he became an overspent force that music career has reached that fag end, DSP is disappointing music lovers back to back. Though many thought that Maharshi songs will wobble in minds after watching them visually, nothing such actually happened.
Its high time that Devi looks into his work thrice as his fans don’t want him to end up as those legends who delivered bad music at the end of their career.
