Pic: Nag Is Fit, What about Rahul’s Wit?

Share

Touching one of the best films like Manmadhudu to make a sequel to it, is a risky thing. Yet Rahul Ravindran managed to convince Nag on that. Looks like the team is preparing for the film very well and here is Nagarjuna stretching and sweating his muscles during workouts for the film between the shots.

Director Rahul Ravindran posted these pictures in an attempt to impress fans, but looks like he is missing the point that it he making a sequel of Manmadhudu, but not Mass. Well, Nag can look super fit anyway, but it all depends on Rahul’s wit.

Many of all the fans of Manmadhudu remember each one liner and dialogue of the film yet and Rahul Ravindran must be writing it very good, though matching the witty one liners of Trivikram is too far difficult.

It’s curtains for 5-time consecutive Lok Sabha winners

Share

Four veteran politicians — L.K. Advani, Sumitra Mahajan, Kamal Nath and Yogi Adityanath — who were elected to the Lok Sabha on five or more successive occasions since 1998 will not be seen in the next Lok Sabha.

Thirteen political leaders who were MPs in 2014 had never lost a single Lok Sabha election since 1998. Now, seven of them are out of the fray while former Parliamentary Affairs Minister S. Ananth Kumar is dead.

Former Prime Minister and Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) leader H.D. Deve Gowda, Samajwadi Party (SP) veteran Mulayam Singh, K.H. Muniyappa, Bhartruhari Mahatab and Anant Geete are the remaining five who are in the race to enter the Lok Sabha this time.

The political yatra for the 91-year-old BJP patriarch Advani, who helped take the party’s tally from 2 in 1984 to 85 in the Lok Sabha in 1989, has been denied a ticket from his seat Gandhinagar in Gujarat.

He represented the Gujarat capital in the Lok Sabha since 1989 except when he chose not to contest the 1996 elections over the Jain hawala diary controversy.

Congress leader and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath has represented the Chhindwara constituency nine times from 1980, except in 1996-98 (11th Lok Sabha) when his wife Alka Nath was elected.

As he was sworn in as Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister in December, his son Nakul Nath has filed his nomination from the Congress bastion.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) bagged the Indore seat for the first time after Sumitra Mahajan was elected from there in 1989 — and remained undefeated.

However, the longest serving woman MP is not contesting this time, miffed over the delay in the announcement of her candidature.

Arjun Charan Sethi, eight-time Biju Janata Dal (BJD) MP from Bhadrak in Odisha who defected to the BJP recently, will not contest this time. The BJP has fielded his son Abhimanyu Sethi instead.

Former Minister and seven-time BJP MP from Chhattisgarh Ramesh Bais has been shown the door by the party this time – on the age factor.

Ananth Kumar, who was credited with the growth of the BJP in Karnataka, passed away in November last year. He was a six-time Lok Sabha lawmaker from Bengaluru South since 1996. The BJP has fielded Young Turk Tejasvi Surya.

Another big name in the list of record-holders is Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

The firebrand Hindutva leader was elected from Gorakhapur in 1998 and kept winning from there. He resigned from the Lok Sabha after the BJP took power in the state in 2017 to become the Chief Minister.

The BJD has replaced five-time MP Prasanna Kumar Patasani with former Mumbai Police Commissioner Arup Patnaik from the Bhubaneswar Lok Sabha constituency.

There are five members in the lower house with five consecutive wins who will contest this time as well.

Deve Gowda is contesting from Tumakuru, hoping to enter the Lok Sabha for the sixth time. He gave up his traditional Hassan seat to his grandson Prajwal Revanna.

K.H. Muniyappa, a Minister during UPA rule, has represented Kolar constituency since 1991.

Bhartruhari Mahtab is a five-time BJD MP from Cuttack.

Anant Geete, Union Minister and Shiv Sena MP from 1998, has been fielded from Raigad – the constituency he has represented since 2004.

Mulayam Singh Yadav has been winning every Lok Sabha election since 1998.

In 2014, he won from both Mainpuri and Azamgarh but retained the latter seat.

KCR made me heroine of the world, says Sri Reddy

Share

Controversial actress Sri Reddy who created tremors in Telugu and Tamil film industries by exposing ‘casting couch’, ‘sexual harassment’ and ‘sexual exploitation’ of actresses by heroes, producers, directors and technicians in the industry, is all praise of Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao for setting up a committee to address sexual harassment issues in Tollywood.

Responding to Sri Reddy’s fight against sexual harassment of actresses in Tollywood, CM KCR issued a GO (government order) setting up a committee, which will receive complaints and sexual harassment from the victims, conduct inquiry and recommend action against culprits to the government.

KCR has selected actress Supriya, anchor Jhansi, director Nandini Reddy, Nalsar University professor Vasanthi, Gandhi Medical college doctor Ramdevi, social activist Vijaya Laxmi as members in the committee.

Sri Reddy is elated over this and praised KCR to the skies for responding positively to her fight against sexual harassment of actresses in Tollywood and setting up a committee to address these issues and punish the culprits.

Sri Reddy said, “KCR has made me heroine of the world by setting up a committee to address sexual harassment cases in response to my fight against sexual exploitation of actresses in Tollywood. I will ever remain grateful to KCR for his concern towards women in the film industry.”

Naidu cheated Balayya’s son-in-law?

Share

Has Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister played a dirty game on M Sri Bharat, his own party candidate in Visakhapatnam parliamentary constituency during the recent elections?

The answer seems to be yes, according to the talk doing rounds in media circles in the port city. The TDP chief was extremely reluctant to give the party ticket to Bharat, as the latter was a political novice without any recognition among the people and therefore, had little chances of winning the seat.

But, he was forced to give the ticket to Bharat under pressure from Nandamuri Balakrishna, his own brother-in-law. Bharat happens to be the younger son-in-law of Balakrishna. Apparently, Balakrishna argued that when Naidu’s son Lokesh (Balayya’s elder son-in-law) can get the prominence the party, Bharat also should be given the same prominence.

Everybody knows Naidu does not want any alternative power centre within the family. So, he gave the party ticket to Bharat but at the same time, reportedly sent secret messages to all the party confidants in Visakhapatnam that they should mobilise votes for Jana Sena Party candidate and former CBI joint director V V Lakshminarayana.

Even Naidu’s aide and minister Ganta Srinivasa Rao reportedly made his followers work for Lakshminarayana, instead of Bharat. As the campaigning progressed, Bharat realized that senior party leaders were not cooperating with him and that the party workers were secretly working for Lakshminarayana.

So, after the polling when it was evident that he is losing, Bharat quietly disappeared from Visakhapatnam. He switched off his phone and remained unavailable even to Balakrishna. He is learnt to have told his friends that he was cheated by his own party boss!

YSRC leaders reposing faith in AP police!

Share

Till the other day, YSR Congress party leaders had been saying that they had absolutely no faith in the Andhra Pradesh police officials, who they alleged, were acting like puppets of Telugu Desam Party president and chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu.

After YSRC president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy refused to cooperate with Andhra police in the Visakhapatnam knife attack case, the YSRC leaders have stopped filing cases in AP on any issue. They were openly telling the media that they had no faith in Andhra police at all.

Instead, they preferred to lodge complaints with the Telangana police, as they were getting complete support from Tealngana government – whether it was Y S Sharmila’s complaint against social media groups, or IT Grids case or even the latest Lakshmi Parvathi’s case.

Now that the elections are over and there is every possibility of YSRC coming to power in AP, the party leaders have started approaching the Andhra Pradesh police. A couple of days ago, YSR Congress party general secretary and Rajya Sabha member V Vijaya Sai Reddy complained to Tadepalli police alleging that he had been receiving life-threatening calls from Telugu Desam Party supporters. He even gave a few phone numbers from which he was getting threatening calls.

Sai Reddy alleged that he was being threatened not to speak or post anything against TDP president and chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu. “Initially, I did not pay much attention to those threat calls, but the calls were on the rise and were disturbing me. Some TDP leaders also threatened to kill me and I even have video footage of that,” he said.

There is a reason for Sai Reddy approaching the Tadepalli police station. Just a day before the polling, the Election Commission transferred the inspectors in Tadepalli and posted new cops, who are said to be closer to YSRC. So, Sai Reddy approached them!

After LP, Varma to make KCR biopic!

Share

Maverick director Ram Gopal Varma, who kicked up a virtual political storm by making a bold movie – Lakshmi’s NTR, on the last stages of life of legendary actor and former chief minister N T Rama Rao, has now turned his attention on Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhar Rao.

Varma on Thursday announced making up of a biopic on KCR with a title: “Tiger KCR” and with sub-titles – “Aggressive Gandhi” and “Aadu Telangana testhanante andaru navvindru” (When he said he would bring Telangana, everybody laughed at him.” He posted the poster of the title and sub-titles on his twitter handle.

He explained that it was the biopic of K T Rama Rao’s father from the time he couldn’t bear the third class treatment being given to the Telangana people by Andhras and how he fought in a fiery way to achieve the Telangana state.

Varma went on praise the Telangana chief minister, stating that KCR was the only politician to successfully groom his children to be worthy of him, unlike the politician in the neighbouring state of Telangana (obviously referring Nara Lokesh, son of Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu).

“The most defining thing for a great politician is to create a biological and ideological legacy and that is where KCR is many miles taller,” he said.

Well, let us wait and see who he would choose for KCR and KTR characters in the film.

Did JD really slapped IAS officer?

Share

The allegation made by Bharatiya Janata Party leader P Raghuram during a debate in a television channel that former joint director of Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) V V Lakshminarayana had slapped senior IAS officer Y Sri Lakshmi during a probe into illegal mining case triggered a wide debate.

Lakshinarayana is presently a Jana Sena leader and he contested the recent Lok Sabha elections from Visakhapatnam parliamentary constituency. He fancies a chance of winning the seat.

It was true that Lakshminarayana, when he was CBI joint director, had interrogated Sri Lakshmi, a 1988-batch IAS officer who was then secretary, department of mines, during the alleged illegal mining by former Karnataka minister Gali Janardhan Reddy at Obulapuram.

Sri Lakshmi was arrested, suspended, and spent several months in Chanchalguda Jail. In 2016, her suspension was revoked and she was assigned to Telangana cadre. She is now maintaining a low profile.

Those who were aware of the case investigation by the CBI those days say Lakshmi Narayana never used to indulge in manhandling of any accused, whether it was Satyam Ramalinga Raju or Gali Janardhan Reddy or several IAS officers or even Y S Jaganmohan Reddy.

“What he used to do was to question them in different ways. Sometimes, he used to make them sit for several hours without any questions to test their patience. Some other time, his subordinate officers used to pose the same questions again and again in different angles. They used to make the recording of their answers and post the same questions to different people. But he there were no complaints of Lakshminarayana using any third degree methods,” a former officials in the agency said.

Had he really slapped Sri Lakshmi those days, it would have become a big news. “She is an IAS officer and how could she keep quiet if an IPS officer slaps her?” he asked.

The BJP leader, however, claimed that he had come to know about JD slapping Sri Lakshmi from her colleague. He even said the incident had led to the iAS officer going into depression.

Lakshminarayana, however, refused to comment on the allegations. “If the person who has made such accusations has any evidence, let him come out. I cannot comment on speculations,” he said.

Kangana – Alia Spat Turns Uglier

Share

Kangana Ranaut’s sister, Rangoli Chandel, claimed that Bollywood filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt once threw chappal on Kangana. Rangoli tweeted, ‘He threw chappal on her,’ referring to the senior director and her sister. During the screening of film Woh Lamhe in 2006, Kangana was attacked with chappal by Mahesh, as per Rangoli’s accusations. She even added that when Kangana went for the film’s preview, Mahesh did not allow her to watch her own film. ‘My sister, who was just 19-year-old then, cried the whole night,’ she quoted.

From the past few days, Kangana grabbed the media attention for taking a jibe at Alia Bhatt. On this, Soni Razdan (Alia’s mother) slammed Kangana for constantly targetting her daughter. Now, Rangoli Chandel too entered the brawl with shocking revelations. Soni Razdan tweeted that Kangana is being disrespectful to her family, who once gave her a big break in Bollywood. Later, Soni deleted the tweet.

Rangoli took a stand against allegations made on her sister and said that ‘Dear Soni ji, your husband Mahesh Bhatt did not give a break to Kangana, Anurag Basu did’. She went on to say that Mahesh worked as a creative director in his brother’s production office. Her other tweet stated that, when Kangana refused to do a film written by Mahesh Bhatt, he shouted at her in the office in front of everyone.

Many are asking on what Kangana and Rangoli are trying to do here, as it looks like they want to throw mud at Alia because her father ill treated Kangana.

As he got famous with the movie Baahubali, Prabhas has shared his picture from the same Rajamouli directorial as his first ever Instagram post.

Because they are waiting for the film Saaho from time, and if Prabhas has shared something from that picture, it would have made them happy.

Also, sharing a personal picture or something that is newly shot for this Instagram thing would have made more appeal. But none expected that Prabhas will share his old picture from Baahubali movie. And at the same time, his fans are also asking him to get the ‘blue tick’ soon.

BJP leader calls Karnataka CM, A Buffalo!

Share

The war of words between politicians is crossing all the limits. Freshly in Karnataka ex-Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Raju Kage has stirred up a controversy by making humiliating comments against Karnataka CM HD Kumara Swamy.

These comments by the BJP leader came after the Karnataka CM criticised PM Modi of applying make-up before he faces the camera and so the shine is visible in his face. Countering on Kumara Swamy’s jibe, Raju Kage said Kumaraswamy, even if you bathe 100 times, you will be like a buffalo. Then the BJP leader said PM Modi is fair and good looking.

This is the most disgusting comment ever made so far and surprisingly the BJP official spokesperson Tejaswini Ramesh has defended Raju Kage’s comments.

The Election Commission of India seriously needs to step into action to take severe action against politicians who make comments on body shaming and skin tone and stuff. What will ECI’s reaction on this something we need to look at.

Manmadhudu 2: Rakul Preet Got A Memo

Share

After completing the nominal first schedule of Manmadhudu 2, hero Nagarjuna and his team have flown to Portugal to shoot 80% of the film there in the picturesque locales of Europe. But heroine Rakul will be joining them only later. Wonder why?

In recent times, Rakul is stunning even Bollywood with her epic hotness topped with cuteness as the songs of De De Pyaar De are heating up the social media. But frankly speaking, she lost oodles of weight regarding which she stated that the film’s director asked her to look like Deepika Padukone in Cocktail movie.

But after watching the rushes of the first schedule of Manmadhudu 2, we hear that Nagarjuna is not happy with the way this hottie is looking. We hear that the senior Akkineni hero sent her a memo, asking her to put on weight and look like how she appeared in films like Bruce Lee rather than carrying this lean look.

Guess what, Rakul is at it right now. Seems like she is an actress who could swiftly change her physique from film to film, a feat which even heroes struggle to get right.

Five Challenges For Nani’s Jersey

Share

Nani’s confidence on Jersey is pretty much visible. Well, no doubt, the trailer of Jersey and the making of Jersey have raised the expectations phenomenally. But there are handful of challenges for Jersey that is hitting the screens tomorrow.

Sports backdrop film

Sports backdrop film’s are not a huge hit with Telugu audiences. Having sports theme in the film and having a particular game in climax or pre-climax is alright. But a pure sports backdrop film hasn’t tried so far. Probably, this is why director Gautam has banked on the emotion quotient. The father-son sentiment is another important aspect of Jersey.

Melodrama

Going by the trailer, the film seems to have a fall of a star cricketer Arjun. He hits low and grim. How does one deal with failure and showcasing of failure for longtime on screen may not appeal to audiences. It’s a challenge for director to make audiences sit through the melodrama between husband and wife.

Jersey

The title Jersey isn’t a catchy word for masses. It’s still a challenge to erode into masses. The film seems to be multiplex film and A-centre audiences’ film. How it’s going to pull masses is a challenge.

Shraddha Srinath

No doubt, Shraddha is a popular name in Kannada and Tamil industries. Thanks to U-Turn in Kannada, she has good fame. But for Telugu audiences, Shraddha is new. Having a known heroine would come in handy for the makers. But the makers decided to cast Shraddha. Particularly, the scenes in second half of Jersey where Shraddha is seen in a de-glam role as a mother is definitely a challenge for makers. How Telugu audiences gonna receive a girl who is seen romancing in first half and a mother in second-half needs to be seen.

Kanchana 3

Last but not least, Raghava Lawrence’s Kanchana 3 is a popular franchise. Horror films have their own set of audiences and Kanchana has its own base. Since Kanchana is a hit with masses, one has to wait and see how Kanchana 3 could affect Jersey’s prospects in B & C centers.

Chiru Sends A Gift to Lawrence

Share

Chiranjeevi has surprised many by donating an amount to Raghava Lawrence’s trust. Chiru has donated Rs 10 Lakh to Lawrence Charitable Trust that is into philanthropic activities. Nonetheless, Allu Aravind has handed over the cheque to Lawrence the other day at the pre-release event of Kanchana 3.

Chiru and Lawrence share very good rapport. It was Lawrence who had choreographed famous ‘Veena’ step in Chiranjeevi’s iconic film Indra. Later, Chiru and Lawrence have worked together for many songs and the duo’s combo is an instant hit.

Impressed by some good deeds of Lawrence’s trust, Chiru has decided to donate to his trust voluntarily. Ahead of Kanchana 3, this act of Chiru comes in handy for Lawrence as it can be seen as Mega support to Lawrence.
