Reel Buzz: Dil Raju Leaves Him Alone

Share

There were a lot of rumors about Dil Raju’s over interference in the making of Telugu remake of Tamil hit 96.

Dil Raju was super impressed with the Tamil film that he bought the remake rights of it even before it was released in Tamil. He also roped in the original director Prem Kumar to wield the megaphone for Telugu remake.

Dil Raju considered many options for the lead characters and finally decided to go with Sharwanand and Samantha. However, Dil Raju want to give it a commercial touch so that it can reach majority audience here.

He wanted to have Devi Sri Prasad on board, but the director has been reluctant to go for any other option except for Govind Vasantha, who scored music for the original.

The ace producer also suggested few changes to the script to make it more ‘entertaining’, according to reports. Prem Kumar didn’t agree to do so as it would spoil the soul of 96.

Dil Raju has finally decided to stay away from the making of 96 remake and give full freedom to the director. Dil Raju also stopped inquiring about the progress of the film.

Congress May Dump Naidu For Jagan?

Share

Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu has been doing intense lobbying with all the regional parties to build an anti-BJP coalition government at the Centre headed by Congress party.

Obviously, Naidu is of the view that he could play the role of a king maker again, even if he gets half a dozen MP seats in Andhra Pradesh, irrespective of whether he regains or loses power in the state.

He is pitching for Congress president Rahul Gandhi as the Prime Minister, though major parties like Trinamul Congress, Samajwadi Party, Bahujan Samaj Party, Aam Admi Party and others are not taking his proposal kindly.

But reports from New Delhi say the Congress party, in case it has the chances of coming to power with the support of other like-minded regional parties, might woo the YSR Congress party headed by Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, rather than Naidu.

Reason: there are chances that the YSRC might get 18-20 Lok Sabha seats, compared to five to six MP seats of the TDP. So, the Congress needs the support of the party that has bigger numbers.

Secondly, the YSRC might not have objection to extend support to the Congress-led coalition since it is better for Jagan, if he comes to power in the state, to maintain good relations with the Centre to secure more benefits to the state, rather than sitting in opposition along with the BJP and its friendly parties.

Moreover, Rahul Gandhi has promised to grant special category status to Andhra Pradesh and if he seeks the support of Jagan, the latter could insist on granting the status on priority basis and that would fetch tremendous mileage to YSRC. And Jagan has already declared that he would support any party or coalition that would grant special category status to AP.

Thirdly, there is no reason why Jagan should not come back to the Congress fold, as his purpose of becoming the chief minister had been fulfilled. Since the Congress is no more a force to reckon with in Andhra Pradesh, he has no threats from it political now or in future.

In a recent interview to a national channel, Jagan has clarified in no ambiguous terms that he had no personal enmity towards Sonia Gandhi or Rahul Gandhi and that he had already forgiven the Congress party.

So, if one were to look into all possibilities, there is every possibility that the Congress would prefer Jagan to Naidu.

Of course, all these equations are subject to the condition that the Congress-led coalition should emerge as the largest group to come to power, Jagan should become the next chief minister of AP and his party should get majority of the MP seats!

Ram Charan Invited for Maharshi

Share

Last year, NTR graced as the chief guest for Mahesh Babu’s “Bharat Ane Nenu” event. But producers had invited both Ram Charan and NTR to grace the event.

However, Charan politely declined as his “Rangasthalam” was still running at that time.

For “Maharshi” pre-release event, producer Dil Raju once again is sending invitations to Ram Charan and NTR as the main guests but this time NTR is likely to skip the event. Even Dil Raju is asking Ram Charan to must attend as the chief guest.

In real life, all these three top stars Mahesh Babu, NTR and Ram Charan are thick friends and they regularly party together with their family members. Ram Charan this time may not skip the invitation.

“Maharshi” pre-release event will be held on May Day in Hyderabad. The film needs more hype now.

From long time, Rajinikanth has been playing roles that suit to his age. But now he has gone for youthful look.

Shahid On Prabhas’ Review Of Kabir Singh Teaser

Shahid Kapoor will be next seen in ‘Kabir Singh’, a remake of Telugu hit film ‘Arjun Reddy’. The makers recently dropped the teaser of the film and it received a tremendous response. Everyone praised Shahid for his performance.

Fans even said that he is the best choice for the role.

Also, ‘Baahubali’ actor Prabhas praised Shahid after he watched the teaser of the film.

Now, recently, when Sasha was asked about the same, Shahid said that he had a conversation with Prabhas and he is very kind.

He further added that Prabhas is Mahendra Baahubali for everyone and it was really cool and encouraging to get such kind words from him as the Hindi audience might not be aware that ‘Arjun Reddy’ is an iconic Telugu film which received a lot of love from the audience.

KCR to neutralize Naidu role in Delhi?

Share

With less than a month left for the declaration of results for general elections across the country, all eyes are on what role Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are going to play at the national level in deciding the formation of a new government at the Centre.

Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu, who has little prospects of coming to power in the state for a second successive term, is going all out to gain a hold at least in the national politics.

Even if the TDP wins half a dozen seats, he will be a crucial player in Delhi, as he has been bringing all the anti-BJP parties together on to a common platform to support a non-BJP coalition government.

Naidu campaigned for two major parties in the south – DMK in Tamil Nadu and Janata Dal (S) in Karnataka and both of them have an electoral understanding with the Congress.

And both the parties have a big chance of winning majority of the MP seats down south. In Maharashtra, NCP also have a tie-up with the Congress.

In West Bengal, though Mamata Banerjee is strongly opposed to the Congress, she may have to fall in line with Naidu, if she does not get good number of MP seats there and Congress improves its position across the country. In such a scenario, Naidu will be a crucial player even with five or six MP seats.

However, Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, who is keenly watching the developments, has also started moving his pawns. His objective is to neutralize Naidu’s role in Delhi politics.

So, he gave the leaks to media that soon, he would start touring all the states to mobilise the support of regional parties for the proposed federal front plan.

He has the backing of YSR Congress party which is expected to win 16-19 MPs, Biju Janata Dal in Odisha, Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party combine in UP which is expected win at least 40 MP seats and of course, Mamata Banerjee might also be willing to join the federal front.

But, if KCR wants to put down Naidu’s role, he has to break the alliances of the DMK, JD (S) and NCP with the Congress, and rope the these three parties into the federal front.

“If KCR can mobilise at least 150-160 MPs, he can be the kingmaker and Naidu will have to take the backseat. It remains to be seen who will be have the bigger say in the national politics after May 23,” a political observer said.

Salman Did A Balakrishna, Complaint Filed

Share

Balakrishna’s public behaviour is so infamous that his recent stints during election campaign irked TDP cadres and his fans too. Hitting and abusing a journalist for recording his video on cell phone garnered huge criticism then. Now the Bollywood superstar Salman too did a similar act.

A complaint was filed against the actor at the DN Nagar Police station in Mumbai today afternoon.

The complainant is a local journalist and has accused Salman of allegedly snatching his mobile phone when he was recording the latter on Linking Road. However, a cross-application has been submitted by Salman’s bodyguard against the journalist saying he was recording without Salman’s consent. The actor was then cycling on the streets and the man filmed him. The matter is currently under jurisdiction.

The complaint stated as- “On Wednesday around 4:40 pm we were moving to Kandivli from Juhu, near DN Nagar Police Station, when we spotted Salman Khan cycling along with two of his bodyguards. We asked his bodyguard for permission to shoot a video to which they agreed without any objection. While shooting, Salman Khan instructed his bodyguards and they jumped approached our vehicle and pushed my colleague who was filming Salman Khan on his cellphone. Followed by this, Salman Khan came and snatched our cellphones even after I informed him that I am a journalist.”

He also wrote that just when he was about to dial 100, the actor returned their phones. He pleaded to take severe action against Salman for misconduct. After being convicted in two separate cases in 1998 and 2002, Salman Khan has now once again fallen into trouble.

Mahanati Vs Rangasthalam: Sadly No Lobbying!!

Share

The 66th National Film Awards are around the corner and with Telugu films stunning whole of India last year, many are looking forward to seeing which film gets the appreciation. The likes of Rangasthalam, Mahanati, Geetha Govindam, C/o Kancharapalem and Bharat Anu Nenu are competing to bag an appreciation.

However, the final tie is between the films Rangasthalam and Mahanati only, if reports are to be believed. But this is the time, influential Telugu lobbyists should get into the scene to make sure that both these films would get awards. Because there is no way we cannot choose between these two creations, which are really fantastic.

While Rangasthalam is appreciated for its brilliant portrayal of realistic village scenes, Mahanati is a piece of history that made everyone cry almost. It will be respectful to see that both films will get awards rather than one of them being crowned.

Meanwhile, the announcement of National Awards is getting delayed because the committee feels that there is poll-code in place. Due to that, they might announce the winners after the Lok Sabha elections get concluded.

The other day Anantapur MP JC Diwakar Reddy made sensational comments on election expenditure. He went on to say that only at his constituency nearly Rs 50 crore was spend during elections and even people are demanding Rs 2000 to Rs 5000 per vote. This comments went viral and there started a wide discussion about it.

Reacting to his father’s comments, Anantapur TDP MP candidate JC Pawan Kumar Reddy said, he doesn’t endorse his father’s statements at all and nowhere Rs 50 crore was spent during the elections. He added that it’s because of Chandrababu Naidu’s efforts Kia Motors have established their manufacturing unit in Anantapur and many unemployed in the district are getting jobs. So far about 431 eligible candidates have got their jobs and they met JC Pawan along with the offer letters.

The first time contender also said TDP will form the next government and in fact will get a good majority than the 2014 elections and Chandrababu Naidu will become CM again. ”EVMs did not work and we know it. Chandrababu is a national leader and so he is protesting against EVMs at national level. Despite the BJP tricks, TDP will win the elections with a thumping majority,” said JC Pawan.

Reacting on YSRCP’s claims that TDP will get defeated, JC Pawan said, YSRCP’s is Goebbels publicity. There happiness will be short-term and for sure the party will be confined to opposition yet again.
