Hardik Pandya, KL Rahul fined for Rs 20 lakh
Indian cricketers, Hardik Pandya and Lokesh Rahul who were in headlines for their controversial remarks on a popular TV chat show, received another shock from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Hardik and Rahul were fined Rs 20 lakh each by the BCCI Ombudsman DK Jain.
The Supreme Court appointed Ombudsman further said Rahul and Hardik will further face no punishment as they have issued an unconditional written apology to the BCCI. The fine that was laid on both the cricketers will have to be made within four weeks from the day of it is issued.
The fine of Rs 20 Lakh includes a payment of Rs 1 lakh each to widows of ten constables of Para-military forces who have lost their lives while on duty, through ‘Bharat Ke Veer App.’ And another Rs 10 Lakh each for the fund created by the Cricket Association for the blind.
Instead Of Glass Houses, Nani Building With Bricks
Many heroes who have no connection with the film industry click with their first film itself. And then, only some of them prove their mettle over time, picking engaging scripts over money-earning projects. Slowly and steadily, such heroes emerge as star heroes.
Whether it is Megastar Chiranjeevi then, or Natural Star Nani now, it’s the same case. Along with Nani, we have seen many young heroes popping up in Tollywood, but most of them are currently in a bad phase as either they have no films in hand, or they are failing to score even with at least one film. So, what sets Nani apart from them?
While most of the young heroes tried to build a glass palace around themselves by projecting themselves as box office spinners, Nani has built his palace with bricks, thereby giving confidence to his producers that he is a tough warrior who could make even an unworking story work at the box office. Unfortunately, when Nani is rising, glass palaces of many heroes got shattered, thereby giving a message.
If you want to rise to the top, earlier you used to work like Chiranjeevi, now work like Nani. Otherwise, there is no shortcut to reach the top. And the success of Jersey only reflects the brick buildings we are talking about.
Tollywood, Bring Some Fun
Other day’s release, Nani’s Jersey has also received a unanimous positive talk from all the quarters. And that made this April 2019 a fulfilling one as the likes of Majili and Chitralahari have earlier done a good job. But here is a demand from one particular section of audiences.
Whether it is Chaitanya and Samantha in Majili, Sai Dharam in Chitralahari or Nani in Jersey, all these lead actors not only played the roles of underdogs but also made audiences shed tears at some parts. They made sure that audiences will get choked with the emotional content and that led to the success of these films at the box office.
But an overdose of sweet will always taste bitter, and a section of audiences are now expecting Tollywood to deliver some F2 like movies where they could simply laugh and go. Because watching these emotional films back to back in the same month might have burdened their heart. They are now saying ‘Chaalu Baboi’.
However, talk is that even Mahesh Babu’s Maharshi is also an emotional treat only if we have to believe reports.
This Hot Heroine’s Sister Is Army Officer
When it comes to the name Disha Patani, we always remember her for those lingerie pictures where she slips into Calvin Klien outfits and stuns the internet with her hottest curves. But other day, this stunner hasn’t shared yet another saucy teasing picture.
Surprisingly after sharing the first look of her upcoming film Bharat, where she shares the screen with Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, Disha Patani has revealed an interesting thing about her sister. Sharing a picture of Kushboo Patani, this Loafer beauty revealed that her sibling is a Lieutenant in the Indian armed forces.
In her Instagram story, the actress shared this picture adding that she loves her sister’s dedication a lot. Actually, there are many heroines in Bollywood who come from army backdrop as their parents and siblings still serving the nation. The long list of Priyanka Chopra, Anushka Sharma, Preity Zinta and much more, now see the name Disha added to it.
On film’s front, Disha is expecting that Salman’s Bharat will change her fortunes when the film releases on June 5th this year, while she’s part of Mohi Suri’s upcoming Malang as well which releases on Feb 14, 2020.
Jersey’s Almond Counting Scene Is Super Hit
Back in the late 80s and 90s, we have to say that life is a different game altogether. While the whole of the communication system is different, also there are very few brands when it comes to chocolates, soft drinks and other eateries as foreign brands are not allowed to directly sell their products in India without local partners.
While some rich brats used to enjoy Gold Spot like soft drinks, others used to drink to local made Badam Milk. This is a favourite soft drink of many, and people used to count how many pieces of almond they got in their drink. There is a similar scene in Jersey where comedian Praveen counts the almonds in his bottle compared to that of Nani’s bottle.
This scene made many of the guys in mid-30s and early 40s quite nostalgic as most of them used to behave in the same way back then. Generally, films showcase only products of that time, but here in Jersey, director Gautham Tinnanuri has also shown the behaviour in the same way. That’s what heart touching, we have to say!
India’s Chief Justice Is Accused of Sexual Harassment
A former junior Court assistant, who worked between 2014 to 2018, accused the Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi of sexual assault in an affidavit addressed to the Supreme Court on April 19, 2019.
She has alleged that after the sexual harassment happened on Oct 11, 2018, she was abruptly detained from her post. The Supreme Court has responded today and all the allegations have been denied. The decision says that the officer’s claims contradict the complaint and that there was never any occasion for the CJI to interact with her. Talking about her termination, the statement was passed that the officer was dismissed from service as per the procedure.
The whole accusations were labelled as “false and scurrilous”. The affidavit that she submitted to SC included the apparent victimisation of she, her husband and family members underwent over the past few months.
KCR Asked Defected MLAs To Resign?
If speculation in Telangana is to be believed, then Telangana Chief Minister and TRS chief K. Chandrasekhar Rao is trying his best to ensure that other party MLAs who have supported the pink party from outside are really sure to resign. Apparently, the TRS chief discussed on the party strategy and plans for the upcoming MPTC and ZPTC elections along with the new revenue law he is planning to implement in the state, with local leaders, legislators and party cadre at Telangana Bhavan.
Additionally, he also wanted to meet leaders from other parties who extended support to the pink party who couldn’t attend the meeting at Telangana Bhavan. So, the TRS chief is said to have rushed to his Camp Office and met these MLAs from Congress and TDP there. In the meeting the TRS chief discussed with them in detail about their interest in the party and whether they were really willing to resign their party and join the TRS.
Meanwhile, the TRS’ plans of removing Telugu Desam Legislative Party and Congress Legislative Party have fallen flat as Aswaraopeta MLA Mecha Nageswara Rao from the TDP did not resign the party while Satthupalli MLA, Sandra Venkata Veeraiah, had resigned but hasn’t joined the TRS yet. Similarly, other Congress leaders too have resigned their party membership but haven’t joined the Pink Party bandwagon.
With these MLAs still not joining the TRS, KCR is making sure that they are on his side at a time when the party did not do well in the MLC elections and is now preparing for local body polls. So, the speculation in Telangana’s political circles is that whether KCR is slowly exposing his fears of dwindling support within the TRS.
What’s The Connection Between Jr NTR & Jersey?
Other day, Jr NTR has tweeted big time about Nani’s Jersey and commented that the film is a ‘brilliant’ one. And a time when there is criticism that he hasn’t even tweeted a word about NTR biopics in the last January and February, one wonders why he might have put tweets for Jersey.
The big hook that people are talking about is, generally for Jr NTR’s films and Kalyan Ram’s movies, there is this ‘warning/advice’ card at the start of a film where Jr NTR’s voice asks audiences to drive slowly, carefully and responsibly such that the accidents that happened in their family won’t happen with others. And now, ‘Jersey’ film has seen the same voiceover card.
At the same time, the actor tweeted just hours after the film’s release that he liked it immensely. And then, the banner animation of Sithara Entertainment features legendary NTR’s images all over, giving rise to a doubt, as to what is the connection between NTR, Jr NTR and this producer.
Joining these dots, many now feel that maybe Jr NTR is just showing his love for his Aravinda Sametha producer, whose Haarika & Haasini Creations is a mother firm of Sithara Entertainment.
‘Dear Comrade’ To Release On July 19th!
Delivering two back to back impressive films in the form of Geetha Govindam and Taxiwala has made Vijay Devarakonda a sought after star in the industry. Both audiences and film trade people are eagerly waiting for his next film, which happens to be “Dear Comrade”.
After a lot of shufflings, finally, this comrade has locked the date of May 31st for its release. But suddenly, hero Surya has come into the game and he has locked the same date for his “NGK” in both Tamil and Telugu regions. And now, Vijay Devarakonda has suddenly decided to drop from the race.
While if it is just a clash avoiding, then the film might have got pushed by a week or so. But now, if we have to believe reports, this film is postponed by a couple of months almost as we hear that July 19th is the new tentative release date of Dear Comrade. Not only with Surya, we have to say that Vijay avoided clash with many other films, but why like that?
Directed by Bharat Kamma, the teaser of Dear Comrade has won huge attention, thanks to the kissing scene of Vijay and Rashmika Mandanna.
Naidu & Pawan meet at Ramoji grand-daughter’s wedding
Post the elections, Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu and Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan met for the first time. However this is an accidental meet happened at Ramoji Rao’s grand-daughter’s wedding in Ramoji Film City.
It was first Chandrababu who reached the staged and blessed the newly-wed couple. As he was getting down, Pawan Kalyan arrived from the opposite end. Naidu and Pawan formally greeted each other and then Pawan conveyed birthday wishes to Naidu.
Both had a brief chat and later left. The last time Naidu and Pawan met each other was in 2018 in Amaravati at an idol installation in a temple.
Day 1: Jersey Makes Impact But Takes Slight Beating
After the dismal performance of Krishnarjuna Yuddham and DevaDas at the box office, hero Nani is looking forward to delivering a tremendous hit this time and for the kind of positive talk “Jersey” has garnered, it looks like his mission is getting accomplished.
If we look at the first day collections of Jersey, the film has made around 4.5+ crores share in Telugu states alone. And easily it could make another crore and more in the Overseas and other non-Telugu state territories. That makes the total share anywhere between 5.5 to 6+ crores on the First Day of its release. Actually, this is neither a bad share nor a good share for Nani, we have to say.
Nani’s previous film Krishnarjuna Yuddham has collected 5.6+ crores share on the first day while his multi-starrer DevaDas made 7+ crores share. Going by that, Nani’s opening day market is pretty much the same despite the fact this Jersey got unanimous thunderous applause. So we have to see if all the positive talk might create an impact on the first weekend collections.
Trade circuits have opined that first day collections of Jersey took a slight dent because of Kanchana 3 movie, which got average reviews but great collections due to fans of such content storming to theatres in all the centres. Probably a solo release would have helped Nani better.
