These Secret Projects Led To Delay Of Her Debut
The issue of the Telugu remake of ‘2 States’ is not yet resolved as director Venkat Reddy approached the court and hero Adivi Sesh is said to be not interested in a settlement with him. The film features Sesh and debutant Sivani Rajaeskhar in the lead roles.
Other day while sharing his thoughts on his upcoming movies like ‘Yevaru?’, Sesh revealed that he has filmed this complete project secretly in order to maintain the surprise element. Apart from this ‘secret project’, he is also filming for Mahesh Babu’s production Major that will narrate the story of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan. Well, all these revelations gave another clue.
When Sesh is focused on his own production ventures or the ones where he has bigger names associated with, one wonders why would he show interest on 2 States. Reports are coming that his secret projects and working on multiple projects at the same time are the ones responsible for the delay of that love story.
Anyway, despite the fact that Sesh’s next films are releasing, there is no progression on 2 States in any manner.
Tholiprema Director Finds His Next Hero!
Score one hit film, and then flops doesn’t matter. And directors who delivered flops always got a rousing reception from hero Nithin. But except for Vikram K Kumar, all others have delivered bigger flops to his hero, thereby hitting hard on his belief.
Reports are coming up that ‘Tholiprema’ fame director Venky Atluri, whose second movie ‘Mr Majnu’ went for a disaster at the box office, is now set to direct Nithin in his next. Earlier, the likes of Vikram Kumar, Puri Jagan, Karunakaran, Hanu Raghavapudi and Krishna Chaitanya are some directors who have delivered a super flop with their previous movie but still managed to impress Nithin.
Barring Ishq, all other films by these directors including Heart Attack, Chinnadana Neekosam, LIE and Chal Mohan Ranga have become mighty disasters. In that context, we have to see what Venky Atluri will deliver with Nithin.
Reports have that the director has already roped in Keerthy Suresh as the leading lady for this project opposite Nithin, while Thaman is most likely to compose the music. After Nithin wraps his Bheeshma with Chalo director, he will be coming up with this new project.
Finally Ravi Prakash Appears Before The Police
Sacked TV9 CEO Ravi Prakash has appeared before the Cyber-Crime police on Tuesday. Since over a month or so Ravi Prakash is hiding from the cops. Three cases were filed against Ravi Prakash in connection with ABCL and Alandha Media group financial transaction. Ravi Prakash had allegedly involved in data theft, forgery and in one more case.
Ravi Prakash had approached High Court of Telangana for anticipatory bail. But as the court declined, he approached the Supreme Court. The same happened as the apex court advised Ravi Prakash to sort out things in High court and declined to give anticipatory bail. So all the ways have closed for Ravi Prakash and as the police have issued lookout notices on him, he appeared before them to avoid arrest.
Actor Sivaji was also allegedly involved in this case. The police have issued notices on him as well but he did not appear before the police. Reports have come out that Ravi Prakash deliberately involved Sivaji in TV9 management row and claimed that Sivaji too has shares and so Alandha Media group can’t take over the management of ABCL.
June 12, yet another historic day for Jagan!
June 12 is going to be yet another historic day for YSR Congress party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy.
On this day, Jagan is going to enter the state legislative assembly for the first time in the capacity of chief minister and would occupy the chair of leader of the House, on the right side of the podium.
In fact, when the new state assembly building was inaugurated in 2017, Jagan vowed that he would enter the House from the right side one day.
And his dream would be coming true on June 12, when the state assembly session will commence to meet for a brief period.
In the recent elections, the YSRCP registered a landslide victory by winning 151 MLA and 22 MP seats. The assembly sessions are the first meetings after the election results.
The session will continue for five days. During the meetings, the elected MLA’s of ruling and opposition will be sworn-in to their post.
For Telugu Desam Party president and former chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu, entering the assembly from the left side and occupying the opposition benches is not new.
Yet, he will face the embarrassment of sitting opposite to the leader, who is as young as his son.
Now, Naidu has to sit the chambers of opposition leader which was leaking every monsoon. Let us see how he will face the situation.
Vijayashanti Quells Rumors of Political Retirement
Lady Amitabh Vijayashanti who is making comeback after a gap of 15 years to the cinema field has slammed reports that she is taking retirement from politics to continue in films.
Vijayashanti is unlucky in politics as she jumped from one party to the other without ever enjoying power or positions.
She moved from BJP to Talli Telangana to TRS to Congress. She is currently holding the position of star campaigner in Congress party.
But future looks bleak for the congress party as it is routed in Lok Sabha polls as well as in Telangana assembly polls. Given this fact Vijayashanti is contemplating to retire from politics, some reports said.
Reacting to these speculations, Vijayashanti made it clear that she will take up any work whenever party’s high command asks her to do.
“I am taking up the role in Mahesh Babu’s ‘Sarileru Neekevvaru’ because there is nothing much to do right now as both the central and state governments returned to power just recently and the opposition parties will not have much role to play at least for another year,” she clarified.
She is playing key role in Mahesh Babu’s “Sarileru Neekevvaru” which is directed by Anil Ravipudi.
Vijayashanti has played the role of mother when Mahesh was kid. She is now returning to films in his movie after a long hiatus.
Vijayashanti will continue in films and politics as well. The 50 plus actress is getting paid huge remuneration for her role in this Mahesh Babu starrer.
In her prime of career, she ruled the industry as the number one female artiste in India.
TRS wave in local polls, but setback to Kavitha
The Telangana Rashtra Samithi is racing ahead in the local body elections in the state, capturing maximum number of mandal parishad and zilla parishad territorial constituencies (MTPC and ZPTCs).
According to the reports that last came in, the TRS had already captured more than 3,000 out of 5,659 MPTC seats and 33 out of 570-odd ZPTC seats.
The Congress is lagging far behind with just 1,000 plus MPTC seats and only three ZPTC seats. The independents are in the third position with nearly 400 MPTC seats, followed by the BJP.
If this trend continues, the TRS will sweep 90 per cent the mandal and zilla parishads in the state. This will be a lot of morale booster for the TRS which could not perform up to expectations in the recent Lok Sabha elections.
However, TRS president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao received a personal setback.
In Potangal village of Navipet mandal in Nizamabad district, which is the native place of KCR’s daughter Kalvakuntla Kavitha, BJP candidate Kathroji Raju won the MPTC seat. It would mean, the voters of Kavitha’s own village chose to vote against her.
Recently, Kavitha was defeated in the hands of BJP candidate Dharmapuri Arvind in the Lok Sabha elections from Nizamabad parliamentary constituency. The latest clearly indicated that her defeat was not a conspiracy, but the people had rejected her.
Similarly, in Kodurupaka village of Siricilla district, which is KCR’s in-laws village and native of Rajya Sabha member J Santosh Kumar, the Congress won the MPTC seat, much to the humiliation of the TRS bosses.
Voters want KCR to supply KF beer!
Strange as it might sound, voters of a village in Jagitial district put forth a funny demand before the Telangana Rashtra Samithi government before casting their vote for the ruling party in the local body elections in the district.
Their demand is: supply adequate quantity of Kingfisher beer in the district. While counting the votes in Mutapalli village of Raikal block in Jagitial district, the counting authorities found a letter in the ballot box.
The letter, addressed to TRS president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, was written by one of the voters, who claimed that he was writing it on behalf of district people.
His demand is that there was severe shortage of Kingfisher beer in the district and the authorities were not supplying the brand in Jagitial for several months.
“As a result, we are forced to travel to other districts for drinking Kingfisher beer. Please look into our request,” he said.
In Peddapalli, another voter left a letter in the ballot box, demanding that the chief minister make Garrepally village in Sultanabad Mandal in Peddapally district as a mandal. The voter said that the village had all facilities to be made as mandal.
IAS Officer Transferred After A Tweet On Mahatma Gandhi
On June 1, IAS officer Nidhi Choudhari, who is a former Joint Municipal Commissioner of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), posted a controversial tweet on Mahatma Gandhi which caused outrage among Maharashtrians and political circles. Her tweet also created a huge storm among Twitterattis and the tweet said that the face of Mahatma Gandhi should be ‘removed’ from currency notes. She then thanked Godse for 30.1.1948′, the day Gandhi was assassinated. (He was killed by Nathuram Godse on January 30, 1948). However, the tweet has now been deleted.
Today, Nidhi has been transferred from BMC to Maharashtra Mantralaya as the Deputy Secretary of Water Sanitary department post her controversial tweet about Mahatma Gandhi and Nathuram Godse. The reaction on the tweet was pretty intense from political groups and Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar requested CM Devendra Fadnavis for immediate action against Nidhi. Also, a few other leaders of the NCP issued public statements against her as well.
NCP’s MLAs from Thane region had also demanded strong action against Nidhi Choudhary. But, Nidhi defends that her tweet was ‘misinterpreted’. She also replied to netizens that “Gandhiji inspires me daily” and that ‘My Experiments with truth’ by Gandhi is her favourite book.

Angry Heroine Sacks Manager, Brings Mother
Even after scoring a big hit like “F2”, it’s surprising that young Punjabi beauty Mehreen Kaur Pirzada could find only films of Gopichand and Balayya in Tollywood. And who is to blame for that?
Reports are coming that Mehreen is upset with her manager that he failed to get her interesting projects in Telugu industry. And then she’s said to have sacked her manager and all other mediators who are bringing her projects all these days. Her mother is currently managing the work and she’s the one responsible for getting Gopichand film.
However, the big twist Mehreen’s mother gave to her daughter is that she is taking the young heroine to make her debut in their native Punjabi as well. The Punjab film industry is comparatively very small but still, some of the Punjabi films get a huge name for the lead actors. So her mother is said to have insisted her to do so.
On the other hand, while the likes of Kajal and Tamanna had a glorious career with their parents managing the date diary, there are instances like Anjali as well where mothers spoiled the career. Let’s see where Mehreen falls in.
Why Those Five Heroines Not Promoting The Film?
One of the upcoming films that caught the attention of movie lovers for the number of heroines it has and the lip kisses they have done with the lead guy is none other than ‘7’. Directed by cinematographer Nizar Shafi, the film has Havish as a hero and half a dozen heroines including Regina Cassandra, Tridha Choudhury, Anisha Ambrose, Nandita Swetha, Aditi Arya and Poojitha Ponnada.
Reportedly Telugu actress Poojitha Ponnada has so far promoted this film and more than the hero, her Rangasthalam cameo got good buzz for her. Then, former Miss India Aditi Arya, who sounds like the real lead girl of the movie, is absent from promotions. Except sharing the news on social media, even Regina, Tridha, Anisha and Nandita Swetha also didn’t join the promotions.
One wonders why talented heroines like Regina or glamour diva like Aditi are not promoting the movie. Some say that the producer finds it really expensive to bring all those girls to Hyderabad in business class flights and arrange their stay at five star hotels, and hence those ladies are absent. ‘Seven’ is hitting cinemas on June 6th.
Pic: Hero’s Daughter Gets Navel Pierced
In India, celebrity kids are also famous just like their parents and the media never fails to capture their outings and parties. For instance, Taimur Ali Khan, Ziva Dhoni, Suhana Khan and Khushi Kapoor have a huge fan base already and many celebrities’ teenage kids are also constantly scrutinized.
Even without a debut, they have followers on social media, either for their looks or for being ther favourite celebrity kids. One more star’s daughter is currently on top of the race and she is none other than Aamir Khan’s darling daughter Ira Khan. Ira is pretty active on her Instagram and her pictures prove to be modern and stylish, uniting herself aptly for today’s generation trends. Her recent picture shows her flaunting arm tattoo and belly piercing. She wore a red crop top and looking beautiful, all ready for her debut.
Her body piercing steals the spotlight as she sports a silver stud on her belly. Also, another picture shows her arm tattoo that reads, ‘If we won’t, who will?’. This tattoo has been done six days ago and Ira showed it off to her followers, saying it is her first tattoo. For her picture, Dangal actress Fatima Sana Sheikh commented ‘Hottie’ and netizens too praised her for stunning looks.
