Pic Talk: Sujana, CM Ramesh with YSRCP’s Vijaya Sai

Share

It’s not even 24 hours that the MPs of TDP have bid goodbye to the party, now they are showing their real face we mean true colors to the public. In the last five years, TDP MPs and YSRCP firebrand leader Vijaya Sai Reddy had indulged in dialogue war and even crossed their limits on numerous occasions. Now all is well between these MPs.

MPs Sujana Chowdary and CM Ramesh are spotted with YSRCP’s Vijayasai Reddy in the Parliament this morning. Political circles are not surprised by this at all as they claim “There are no permanent friends and enemies in politics.”

But for TDP supporters, it is a hard thing to digest because Vijaya Sai Reddy makes the disgusting comments on the party and chief. This picture also proves that there is a hidden understanding between the BJP and YSRCP.

In the coming days, we might see many of these and just react that “It’s Okay!”

Rumour: This Heroine’s Use And Throw Mentality

Share

There is this particular heroine in Tollywood, who is not literally from here but came to the top pretty tough. And then, her ways of coming to the top are something that is being discussed by Telugu industry folks from the last couple of days.

Apparently, when her career is not getting the needed restart, she started dating a lovely hero, through whom she got many offers. Later she dumped him and used to move closer with a couple of senior heroes. Then suddenly she changed her course and moved to another tinsel town.

Later, after she found out that nothing is working for her again in any other tinsel towns, she’s back here and ticking her previous contacts. Despite the fact that she got another big job in hand, she’s said to be teasing some big heroes here such that offers will come her way.

While offers may come and go, many are wondering why this lady often uses people this way and flaunts that use-and-throw mentality. In reality, after reigning the tinsel towns for a while, she doesn’t need to do that.

TDP to be left with just one MP in RS

Share

The defection of four Rajya Sabha MPs, has reduced the strength of TDP in Rajya Sabha to just two and they are Thota Seetharama Lakshmi and Kanakamedala Ravindra Kumar. These two MPs also clarified that they will continue to be in TDP come what may.

However, in another nine odd months, TDP will be left with just one. The tenure of MP Thota Seetharama Lakshmi will end in April 2020 while Kanakamedala’s who got placed in the Upper House, has another five years of time. The BJP can’t influence these two MPs as they are most trusted followers of TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu.

It is heard that MP Sujana Chowdary had tried to get Kanakamedala as well but the latter was not impressed joining BJP. Kanakamedala feels that deceiving Chandrababu in these hard times will not go well with people in future.

Kaleshwaram project inauguration: Where Is Harish Rao?

Share

The whole of Telangana is witnessing the inauguration of Kaleshwaram Project. It is reckoned as CM KCR’s dream irrigation project that can cater water to lakhs of acres for agriculture. Unprecedented arrangements are made for the inauguration.

Maharashtra CM and Governor, Telugu states Governor and Andhra Pradesh CM were invited as chief guests. But one person is missing from this event and he is Siddipet MLA Harish Rao. In the last TRS term, Harish was the irrigation minister and he was constantly seen at Kaleshwaram project site and for every 15 days, he used to monitor the works. Accordingly he used to update KCR about it. More than KCR, it’s Harish who worked day and night for this project. Disappointingly, Harish is nowhere seen at the inauguration but where is he now and what is he doing?

As June 21st also happens to be International Yoga Day, Harish took part in a Yoga session held in his constituency. The question is, was Harish invited for Kaleshwaram Project launch or not? TRS party leaders are not opening up regarding this but are celebrating the inauguration.

Last night around Harish Rao took to his Twitter handle and credited CM KCR for implementing the project and got emotional that this project will benefit the farmers on a long run. Just confining to this, Harish did not utter any word. Though many are asking him, Harish confined himself to be quiet.

Exclusive: Charan-Trivikram Film In Pawan’s Production

Share

Like we revelled it already, a ‘Team’ is trying to convince Pawan Kalyan to come back to films. They are pleading him to do at least a cameo in certain films such that his image will double up by 2024. But Pawan is sticking to his old plan it looks like.

Apparently, Pawan Kalyan is said to have asked his good friend and director, Trivikram Srinivas, if he could direct a film for him. Under the banner Pawan Kalyan Creative Works, Trivikram might direct Pawan’s nephew Ram Charan very soon. While Charan will not be saying no to this proposal, how and when he accommodates date is going to be the gamble now.

While Trivikram might wrap his next with Allu Arjun very soon, Ram Charan has to wrap #RRR in order to come together with Trivikram for the first time. If all goes well, the film might get started in 2020 and release in 2021, says a source. And based on the result of this project, Pawan wants to continue his production ventures in the movie industry.

And who knows, he might do a cameo with Charan for the first time in his own production venture.

‘Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya’ Review: New ‘Age’nt Thriller

Share

The director and actors of “Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya” are newcomers yet this movie has generated buzz thanks to its exciting trailer that reminded many of old hits like Chiranjeevi’s “Chantabbayi”.

Has the film lived up to the expectations? Let’s find out.

Story:
Sai Srinivas Athreya (Naveen Polishetty) is a private detective in Nellore. The concept of a private detective or agent is new to this small city and he hardly finds any work. He deals cases with a lady assistant Sneha (Shruti Sharma).

A police officer puts Athreya in a jail for one day as a suspect in a case and in the lockup room, he meets a guy named Maruthi Rao who tells him that his daughter was brutally raped and murdered in Ongole.

Athreya takes up this case. Murders follow, twists and turns take place.

Artistes’ Performances:
Naveen Polishetty had earlier acted in shows made for the web and Youtube. This must have given him enough experience to act natural and casual. Naveen has shown lot of variety in his performance in this very first film as lead actor. He has shown lot of swag and has absolute great dialogue delivery too.

Shruti Sharma as Sneha is neat. All other actors are new comers and are good.

Technical Excellence:
Film is made on a shoestring budget. So, cinematography and production values are bare minimum.

Mark Robin’s background score is the main highlight. He has added the mood with his musical score. Editing is wobbly.

Highlights:
Second half
Humor
Naveen Polishetty

Drawback:
Boring initial sequences
Defies logic

Analysis
“Agent Srinivas Athreya” begins much like Chiranjeevi’s “Chantabbayi”. Naveen Polishetty’s character and his assistant’s roles are designed exactly like Sherlock Holmes and John Watson but this film in the beginning gives impression that it is paying tribute to “Chantabbayi”.

In the first 45-minutes, Naveen Polishetty and Shruti Sharma have indulged in regular bantering which doesn’t engage us. Only after that the film gets to the point and things have turned serious. The real investigation and thrills begin thereafter.

The screenplay is quite gripping post-interval and the final twist in the story is also quite novel. For the first time, we have come to know that some dead bodies are used for a hi-tech scam.

The film begins with the note that it is fictional story based on real incidents and in the final end credits, the newspaper cuttings of this actual scam is also shown. This angle is quite new for a movie story.

As Agent Sai Srinivas, Naveen Polishetty holds the movie from the start to finish with his terrific acting style. He has exhibited various modulations in dialogue delivery so easily.

Even when the film’s pace goes down, Naveen lifts it with his acting. The director has also tried to present the serious novel thrilling point with a dose of humor.

There are lot of references to old Hollywood hits and as well as ‘Chantabbayi’. So, many scenes also remind us of old movies. Some references are used for spoof and humor and some directly for dramatic effect.

We have seen many thrillers but the way this is packaged is very novel. Credit goes to the new director.

The interesting point is that the main scam and case is also interlinked to Agent Athreya’s personal tragedy. This is a clever decision by the writer and director.

There are also many subtle humorous scenes like hero naming his agency as FBI – Fatima Bureau of Investigation and another private detective (pilla agent) from Hasan in Karnataka also establishing similar agency FBI – Friends Bureau of Investigation.

The film’s thrilling points occur in the second half. On the downside, the track of Naveen and Shruti Sharma is unconvincing. Why would a girl agree to be his assistant when he himself is not doing well as investigator? Why would she go with him day and night for petty money?

There is no serious explanation for her being his assistant? Also, one police officer being so mean to him and another one going all out to help is clichéd.

Despite all this, “Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya” makes an interesting watch and introduces a talented actor in the form of Naveen Polishetty.

Bottom-line: Sherlock Holmes Meets Chantabbayi

KCR instigating Jagan against BJP?

Share

Having realised that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP national president Amit Shah are not going to entertain him anymore, Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has taken an aggressive stand against the Bharatiya Janata Party and has been attacking it for the last couple of days.

So far so good. It is his party’s stand and he has to take it in order to ensure that the BJP will not emerge as a strong opposition in Telangana.

But it appears KCR is also trying to drag his Andhra Pradesh counterpart and YSR Congress party president Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy into the fight with the BJP.

As of now, Jagan has been playing safe in his relationship with the BJP for various reasons; particularly, he needs strong financial support from the Centre to develop the state.

However, KCR appears to be brainwashing Jagan asking him not to succumb to the BJP, as the latter would dominate him in Andhra Pradesh in the long run.

He is learnt to have told the young chief minister that there was no need to approach the Centre for everything but many issues could be resolved through mutual understanding between the two states.

Especially with regard to river water disputes, there is no need to go to the Centre for a solution.

“The centre will cash in on the differences between the two states and keep them in pending for years together. Instead of going to the Centre, we can resolve the disputes through talks,” he reportedly told Jagan.

The Telangana chief minister is also said to have offered to extend huge financial support to Andhra Pradesh through various projects.

By making Jagan to fall in his line, KCR wants to ensure that the BJP does not gain hold in the Telugu states at all.

But if Jagan falls into KCR’s trap and antagonises the BJP, he may have to face deeper troubles in the coming days from Modi and Shah team, says analysts.

TDP crisis: Chandrababu in touch with party leaders

Share

Amaravati: Currently holidaying abroad, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) President N. Chandrababu Naidu is in touch with senior party leaders in the wake of four Rajya Sabha members defecting to the BJP on Thursday.

Naidu, who is in Europe along with his family members, held a teleconference with party leaders available at his residence in Amaravati.

The TDP chief told them that this situation is not new to the party as it had witnessed many such crises in its 36-year-old history. He advised the party leaders and cadres not to get worried by the defections.

Naidu told the party leaders that the TDP fought with the BJP to safeguard the state’s interests. He slammed the BJP for luring TDP MPs.

Poll: Is TDP finished in Andhra Pradesh?

Y.S. Chowdary, C.M. Ramesh, T.G. Venkatesh and G. Mohan Rao, all Rajya Sabha members of the TDP, on Thursday joined the BJP. They requested Rajya Sabha Chairman Venkaiah Naidu to merge the TDP parliamentary party in Rajya Sabha with the BJP.

Meanwhile, senior TDP leaders alleged that the MPs joined the BJP to save themselves in various cases booked against them by central agencies.

Former minister N. Chinnarajappa said since the MPs were facing various charges, they joined the BJP to protect themselves. He termed the defections as “unfortunate” and said the MPs switched loyalties after enjoying various positions of power.

“Whatever the BJP may do, it is not going to help the party in gaining ground in the state,” he said.

Chiranjeevi Overseeing Editing of Sye Raa

Share

“Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy” has completed its shoot and is now into post-production. Interestingly, it is megastar Chiranjeevi who is overseeing the editing process.

While director Surender Reddy is busy coordinating with VFX team and other work, Chiranjeevi himself is sitting with editors for the first cut.

Both Chiranjeeevi and director Surender Reddy have different ideas for “Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy”. They have had heated discussions while the filming took place.

Well-Planned Game by Naidu and Co

Share

Four Telugu Desam party Rajyasabha MPs – YS Chowdary, CM Ramesh, TG Venkatesh and Garikapati Mohan Rao today joined BJP, a move surprised all political pundits.

They passed a resolution to merge Legislature Party of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) into BJP and Vice-President of India Venkaiah Naidu agreed to this. This is similar to what TDP leaders did in Telangana.

While BJP is celebrating that Telugu Desam party is sinking and all its leaders are moving to their party but political observers feel that this is a strategy chalked out by Nara Chandrababu Naidu himself.

Sujana Chowdhary and CM Ramesh are facing serious charges of economical offenses. If they join BJP, the authorities will not move swift on these cases.

Poll: Is TDP finished in Andhra Pradesh?

There are also reports that the new Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy will file cases on CM Ramesh and other top Telugu Desam leaders in fraud and corruption cases. Since they have joined BJP, Jagan will not dare put cases on them.

This was the reason many of the TDP leaders who indulged in frauds are moving towards BJP which is in power at the center.

Some TDP MLAs too may follow MPs over to BJP

Share

The decision of four TDP Rajya Sabha MPs to join BJP has made the road ahead an arduous one for the regional party. Former union minister YS Chowdary, CM Ramesh, TG Venkatesh and Garikapati Mohan Rao announced a merger with BJP in Rajya Sabha.

Speculation is rife that many MLAs and former MLAs may follow suit. TDP has 23 MLAs and it might be very difficult for Naidu to keep his flock together.

If two-thirds of the MLAs of the TD Legislature Party ask the Speaker to merge them with another party or consider them as a separate group, they will escape disqualification under the Anti-Defection Law.

Poll: Is TDP finished in Andhra Pradesh?

As per Assembly norms, a party should have 10 per cent of the House strength to enjoy Opposition status. In the 175-member AP Assembly, a party should have at least 18 MLAs to be an Opposition party. If six MLAs leave the TD, it will lose its Opposition status. The BJP is trying to poach at least 16, or two-thirds of the 23 TD MLAs.

According to sources in the BJP, the possible defectors will take a cue from the four MPs who defected to the BJP.

In order to escape disqualification, four of the six TD MPs, or two-thirds of the party in the Upper House, asked the deputy chairman of the Rajya Sabha to merge them into the BJP under the 4th paragraph of the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution.

“At this point I can’t say how many TD MLAs are joining us. But I am sure a majority of the TD MLAs are in touch with our leadership,” said BJP state vice-president S. Vishnuvardhan Reddy.

Kammula Shelves Half-finished Film For Chaitanya!

Share

Sekhar Kammula launched a film with newcomers after Fidaa. He has filmed for many days and completed half of it. However, after looking at the rushes, the director wasn’t happy with the output.

Even producer Sunil Narang was not satisfied with how it turned out. They decided to scrap it despite spending Rs. 5 crore on it.

Meanwhile, Sekhar Kammula met Naga Chaitanya, who has been long waiting to work under him. Chay immediately agreed to play the lead in Kammula’s film.

Sunil Narang’s plan was to do a low budget film with Sekhar Kammula, but it has now turned out to be a big film with Chay and Sai Pallavi stepping in as the leads.

Even the wasted Rs. 5 Crore on the shelved film will also be considered as the budget of this film.

So there would be additional responsibility on Sekhar Kammula to deliver a successful film.

Suriya Lost Heavily on NGK

Share

“NGK” was produced by Suriya’s close family members and friends. Dream Warrior Pictures banner is in a way Suriya’s home production house. He was confident that he would recover the basic investment on “NGK”.

The reviews were bad but the film took good openings in Tamilnadu. However, it ended up as a huge loss venture.

Suriya didn’t take remuneration for this film. He has share in profits. Since there are no profits, he lost heavily.

The Telugu producer K K Radhamohan bought the film for Rs 9 Cr and its theatrical revenue was mere Rs 4.5 Cr. Radhamohan lost nearly 50 percent.

In all languages put together, “NGK” had collected mere Rs 26 Cr worldwide. This is too low for a star like Suriya.

He generally charges Rs 25 Cr as remuneration. Now he can’t charge the same after this movie. Suriya too is losing more than Rs 20 Cr on this movie altogether.

After this film, his entire market has come crashing down. It will be tough for him to win the confidence of distributors.
