Kangana and Baahubali Writer’s Special Bond
Kangana spit venom on director Krish after he made strong comments on her directorial skills.
Both Kangana and Krish had a huge fallout over the final cut of “Manikarnika”, a film on Jhansi Rani that starred Kangana in the title role.
When Krish left for NTR Biopic movies, Kangana took the project in her hands and reshot the most of the film and took the credits for direction. “Manikarnika” was a decent hit at the box-office.
While “Manikarnika” turned out to be successful, Krish directed NTR Biopic movies (NTR Kathanayakudu and NTR Mahanayakudu) became disasters. Krish lost all his good name.
Kangana has cut off total ties with Krish but she still is continuing her working relationship with writer Vijayendra Prasad.
It was Vijayendra Prasad who brought Krish on board for “Manikarnika”. Kangana is treating Vijeyendra Prasad, who penned many blockbusters such as “Baahubali”, as her guru.
The famous writer is now scripting biopic of Jayalalitha and he has convinced Kangana to act in this film. The film will be produced by Vishnu Induri, who is partner in NTR Biopic movies.
Though Kangana has problems with Krish, she doesn’t have any issue to work with Vishnu Induri and Vijayendra Prasad.
Interestingly, Rajamouli’s father Prasad will also be penning biopic of Kangana Ranaut soon. They have developed a good bonding of Guru-Sishya.
Pawan Kalyan Singing Naidu Tune!
For quite some time, there have been allegations that power star and Jana Sena party president Pawan Kalyan has been indirectly helping Telugu Desam Party in the ongoing elections in Andhra Pradesh.
It is pretty evindent from the way, Pawan was singing the tune of TDP president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu at Bhimavaram on Friday.
There have been reports of Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao intimidating leaders of rival parties in Andhra Pradesh to join the YSR Congress Party.
For the last couple of days, Naidu has been harping on these allegations to allege that TRS is helping the YSRC to defeat the TDP.
Now, Pawan took up the cudgels against YSRC president Jagan in support of Naidu.
He went a step ahead and said KCR was threatening to create troubles for the people of Andhra, having properties in Hyderabad and driving them away.
“Hyderabad is not Pakistan for us to be afraid of security of our assets there”, he thundered while addressing an election rally in Bhimavaram, where from he is contesting for Andhra Pradesh.
Pawan told the TRS leadership to set up its party in Andhra Pradesh and directly participate in elections.
“But, the TRS is trying for control over Andhra Pradesh through Indirect means. It is supporting the YSR Congress. KCR works for the YSRCP behind the curtains. His minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav comes to Andhra Pradesh on mission to bring in caste division among us”, Pawan charged.
He revealed to the audience that a group of people had approached him a month ago seeking to join Jana Sena. But, a few days later, they joined the YSRCP. My enquiries revealed that they were threatened with harm to their properties if they don’t give up the idea of joining JSP instead join the YSRCP.
Pawan’s attack on KCR and Jagan clearly shows he is indirectly working for the TDP victory.
Spotlight: YSRCP Making A Huge Blunder
Even as the TDP is making ample use of the television media with its political ads, the YSRCP has shockingly failed to come out with even a single advertisement till date.
For the record, the Party has actually had ads shot by Mahi V Raghav (Yatra director) and director Sudhir Varma. However, the Party has not used them mystifying supporters.
Prashant Kishore is said to be the reason behind this. Apparently, Prashant Kishore believes based on his experience that television ads will not have much of an impact on voting decisions.
Whether his thinking is right or wrong, in a political campaign, nothing can be left to chance.
Why a voter has voted for a particular Party might not be known even to himself. There are myriad factors at play and eventually, a proper campaigner will adopt a 360 degree approach.
Against this backdrop, leaving out a major medium like television especially when the TDP has earmarked a budget of Rs 1.5 crore for social media advertisements alone and a mammoth budget for television advertising, is nothing but sheer stupidity on the part of YSRCP.
There is also no proper co-ordination between IPAC and the other functionaries of the Party and YS Jagan in the thick of action cannot get down to sorting out the chain of command at this point in time. This was where KVP Ramachandra Rao proved to be such an asset.
KVP would take care of all the back-end work leaving YSR free to concentrate on policy-making and being among the people.
It’s high time the YSRCP got its act together as the Party cannot afford another electoral debacle.

KCR’s Counter Strategy To Douse ‘Andhra Sentiment’
The TDP and Jana Sena in Andhra Pradesh are targeting TRS chief and Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao in their election compaign to flare up “Andhra passions” and “Andhra sentiment” for electoral gains.
Both Chandrababu Naidu and Pawan Kalyan are accusing KCR of threatening Andhra people residing in Hyderabad, especially those having assets and businesses in Hyderabad.
They allege that KCR is blackmailing them that their properties in Hyderabad will be seized, if they don’t support YSRCP.
Both Naidu and Pawan have intensified their attack on KCR.
Despite, KCR remaining silent and not taking the name of AP or AP politics or AP elections or even the names of Chandrababu, Pawan, in his election meetings, KCR continues to remain the target of Naidu and Pawan.
KCR is now learnt to be devising a counter strategy to rubbish the allegations levelled by Naidu and Pawan against him.
KCR reportedly asked Tollywood actors, directors, producers and industrialists and businessmen hailing from Andhra and residing in Hyderabad to take up a social media campaign how KCR and TRS government shows no discrimination against Andhra people and how they treat them equally in all spheres using their whatsapp, facebook, twitter accounts etc.
KCR asked them to forward messages on social media, whatsapp etc stating that how they were leaving peacefully in Hyderabad for the past five years under TRS rule and also no incident of any attack or violence against Andhra people in Hyderabad.
KCR feels that this will douse “Andhra sentiment” among people in Andhra and also will check false propaganda taken up by Naidu and Pawan on “Andhra discrimination” in Hyderabad.
