Kalki Trailer: Rajasekhar Hits Back At Gabbar Singh Jibe!
Rajasekhar’s upcoming film Kalki has turned heads with an intriguing teaser. The dialogue-less teaser has not only grabbed attention but also ensured superb business for the film.
The trailer of Kalki is no different with equally interesting visuals and captivating background score.
The surprise package in the trailer is Rajasekhar hitting back at the jibe from Pawan Kalyan’s Gabbar Singh Antyakshari episode.
Rajasekhar not only repeated the dialogue ‘Em Septhiri em septhiri’, which Pawan Kalyan delivered to mock the veteran but also gives a nice kick to the junior actor who imitated him in the same episode.
This adds fun to an otherwise serious and thrilling trailer. Director Prashanth Varma who made an impressive debut with Awe seems to have made another interesting film on a larger scale.
Kalki trailer will only up the already soaring hype and expectations around the film. Rajasekhar is taking giant steps towards getting back to his glory days.

In another video, she said: “I would like to tell people that I am playing a Pakistani girl (in the film). People from Pakistan too have a heart… All of them are not bad.

Temple Run: Tirupati temple has 9,259 kg gold
Tirupati: The Sri Venkateswara Temple at Tirumala here owns 9,259 kg of gold deposited with various banks and in its treasury, a senior temple official said on Monday.
Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD), which manages the affairs of the country’s richest temple, has 5,387 kg of gold with the State Bank of India and 1,938 kg of gold with the Indian Overseas Bank under gold deposit schemes.
TTD Executive Officer Anil Kumar Singhal said Punjab National Bank (PNB) returned 1,381 kg of gold on April 20 as the three-year scheme had reached the maturity.
In addition, TTD treasury has 553 mixed gold, comprising small jewellery.
A day after the Andhra Pradesh government ordered an inquiry into the alleged lapses into the release and transportation of 1,381 kg gold in the wake of its seizure by the Election Commission in Tamil Nadu, the TTD EO told a news conference that PNB had total responsibility of the gold till delivering it to TTD treasury.
The gold was seized in Tiruvallur district of Tamil Nadu on April 17 when it was being brought back from PNB’s branch in Chennai to the TTD treasury in Tirupati.
He denied media reports that TTD showed documents to the Election Commission claiming ownership of the gold. Singhal made it clear that they were in no way concerned with the security and transportation of the gold as it was the responsibility of the PNB.
After the seizure of the gold, the Income Tax department asked the TTD to send an official in connection with the investigations. The TTD official informed the IT that PNB was supposed to deliver the gold at the TTD treasury on April 18.
The gold seizure a day before the elections in Tamil Nadu triggered a row with TTD initially denying that the gold belonged to it.
Singhal defended the stance taken by the temple body. “It is TTD gold when it reaches the treasury. How do we know how much gold the truck was carrying and what was its transportation route,” he asked.
On criticism for transportation the gold in the midst of elections, he dismissed this as coincidence. He said the maturity date was known when 1,311 kg gold was deposited with PNB in 2016.
He said TTD had written a letter to PNB on March 27 that gold deposit will be reaching maturity on April 18 and asked it to deliver the gold at treasury along with the interest (70 kg gold).
He said under the gold deposit gold scheme, the banks are paid one per cent commission and 1.5 per cent handling charges which includes gold purity testing, transportation, storage and other costs.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Secretary L.V. Subrahmanyam on Sunday ordered an inquiry in the wake of gold seizure.
He asked Special Chief Secretary, Revenue, Manmohan Singh, to find out the lapses, if any, on the part of PNB and TTD and submit a report on or before April 23.
The inquiry officer was asked to see if there were written instructions issued by the Executive Officer, TTD, and what was the role of the TTD vigilance wing. The officer will also report on what special care and monitoring the vigilance wing of TTD has to take.

Cyclone Fani: Telugu States compete to send teams to Odisha
Looks like Andhra Pradesh and Telangana governments rivalry sometimes gets the both of both even if they seem to be competing. While Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu had promised to help Odisha through RTGS updates and with electricity personnel as soon as Cyclone Fani made a windfall in the state, Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao too seems to have felt the need to help out his neighbour.
Surprisingly after Chandrababu’s tweet on May 7th morning, Telangana government also issued a press release about its help to Odisha. He tweeted, ”Fulfilling the role of a good neighbour, AP is providing all possible help to bring back normalcy in Odisha. A team of 2,055 workers, shift operators and staff from Energy Dept is deputed for rectification work so that services can be restored at a faster pace. #CycloneFani.”
While Andhra Pradesh had sent 2,000 workers for restoration work in Odisha along with machines and food supplies, Telangana government on Tuesday night sent 1,000 personnel from Electricity Department to Odisha to restore power supply in the cyclone-hit areas. Ever since, the Government of Odisha has been thanking its neighbours for being so quick in responding and helping its people out, in times of crisis.
Even the Central Government’s help to Odisha and West Bengal has ensured quick restoration and relief efforts in the Cyclone-hit areas of these states. Despite all the differences between the Telugu states, netizens say it is a good move by both the states to reach out to its neighbour in difficult times.
