KCR’s grandson Himanshu helps accident victim
In a first, Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s grandson Himanshu has been winning hearts for his good samaritan move in helping out an accident victim recently.
N. Srinivasa Rao, a resident of Rajiv Nagar in Bhadrachalam, was severely injured in an accident 12 years ago and has been confined to home after his spine got severely affected. He has been using the tricycle ever since. Recently, Srinivasa Rao fell sick and his health has been unstable as his lower back got infected.
Himanshu, who watched Srinivasa Rao’s opinion of KCR in a You Tube Video, stating that “KCR should come back to power again and help us out. The pension he is giving us is enough and increasing it is a great move,” Rao said in the video. This video on You Tube caught Himanshu’s attention and he found out more about Srinivasa Rao and his health through a known person in Bhadrachalam.
After gathering details about Srinivasa Rao and learning that he has been sick, Himanshu offered to help out his family by ensuring that Rao gets best treatment. After Himanshu’s instructions, Rao has been shifted to Bhadrachalam area hospital for treatment and it is learnt that he could be moved to Hyderabad if needed.
Srinivasa Rao’s family has thanked Himanshu for his good deed while he has promised them that he will speak to his grandfather KCR about them and ensure that they get the best of the treatment for Rao to ensure a speedy recovery.
Pawan, Nadendla May Backstab You
Ram Gopal Varma is at again. He has cautioned his ‘favourite star’ Pawan Kalyan to be cautious as his aide and Janasena leader Nandendla Manohar may ‘backstab’ him. RGV made these comments on the eve of unveil of the look from the song ‘Vennupotu’ from his forthcoming film Lakshmi’s NTR.
Interestingly, Varma drew parallels between Pawan Kalyan and legendary NTR. RGV recalled Nadendla Bhaskar Rao’s coup against Sr NTR and opined that his son Nadendla Manohar could now be following his father’s footsteps. Varma also took potshots at Manohar’s smiles. He said that Manohar is smiling – when he is standing next to PK – just exactly how his father used to smile when he was next to NTR before the coup. Varma said he is worried about Pawan Kalyan as a fan.
In a series of tweets, Varma asked all die-hard fans of Pawan to convey to their star to be aware of Nadendla Manohar. Varma also said he is praying Lord Balaji that Manohar won’t backstab Pawan like his father did to NTR.
Congress MLCs Meet KCR, Triggers Panic In Congress
Even as Congress is yet to overcome its recent defeat in Telangana elections, here comes another shocker for the party in the state. Two of its MLCs including its party whip is all set to cross over to ruling TRS. What’s interesting is that the party whip and MLC Akula Laitha, who had tried to complain against defected MLCs to Chairman Swamy Goud, is now jumping into TRS.
Congress MLC and whip Akula Lalitha has met CM KCR at Pragathi Bhavan and congratulated him on his victory. It is buzzed that stage is all set for Akula Lalitha’s entry into the Pink Party and muhurat is also fixed. However, when asked about her joining into TRS, she neither confirmed nor denied. She told media that she just came to Pragathi Bhavan to wish CM KCR.
Here is the twist in the tale. Just a day before she met KCR, Akula Lalitha along with Opposition leader of Telangana Legislative Council, Shabbir Ali and MLC Santosh Kumar had planned to meet Chairman Swamy Goud to complain against Congress MLC K Damodar Reddy who jumped into TRS.
However, Swamy Goud was on leave on Wednesday as his close relative passed away. With this, Congress legislative council team decided to meet Swamy Goud on Thursday and complain against Damodar Reddy. But Swamy Goud couldn’t return even on Thursday as he was in Bengaluru. That’s when Shabbir Ali, Akula Lalitha and Santosh had decided to meet him on Friday to complain against defected MLC Damodar Reddy.
But all of a sudden, Akula Lalitha and Santosh have met KCR separately on Thursday and decided to jump into TRS.
What happened behind?
Akula Lalitha happens to be the close relative of TRS leader, Deputy Chairman of Legislative Council Nethi Vidya Sagar. Vidya Sagar was the one who said to have held the talks for Lalitha’s entry into TRS. Along with Vidya Sagar and government whip Palla Rajeswar Reddy, she met KCR. Lalitha had recently contested on Congress ticket in Armoor against Jeevan Reddy and lost in his hands. Her joining into TRS is now shocking Congress seniors.
Meanwhile, Congress MLC Santosh Kumar has also met KCR at Pragathi Bhavan along with Karimnagar Mayor Sardar Ravindar Singh, Corporation chairman Koleti Damodar and personally greeted KCR. As Santosh’s MLC term is likely to end soon, he said to have got assurance from that he would be made MLC on TRS party.
TRS MLCs Bhupathi Reddy, Yadava Reddy, Konda Murali, Ramulu Nayak have recently campaigned for Congress in the state elections. TRS chief whip had complained against them to Chairman Swamy Goud and Swamy Goud has sent notices to them. Looks like, Congress MLCs are jumping into TRS to get elected as TRS MLCs.
Amidst speculations that 10 out of 12 Congress MLAs would jump into TRS soon, the meeting of two MLCs with KCR has triggered a panic among Congress senior leaders.
Ma Tammudini Emanna Ante, Ilage React Avutha: Naga Babu
Naga Babu’s comment on Nandamuri Balakrishna that he doesn’t know him has kicked up a controversy in tinsel town. Amidst this, Varun Tej has finally opened up about the issue. Varun defended his father in the issue and said his father would do only if he feels it is correct.
On prodded, Varun admitted that he had a conversation with this father Naga Babu about the issue and said his dad’s reply was epic. Sharing the story, Varun said he had asked Naga Babu about his comments on Balayya and he got an immediate reply from his father that he would react like that if anyone talks like that about his younger brother.
“Ma Tammudini Emanna Anthe, Ilage React Avutha. Niku Nachina, Nachakapoyina, Nuvvu Kurcho,” Naga Babu told Varun responding to his question.
Interestingly, Varun also said he would support Janasena to the core and is ready to do his bit for the party. He said Janasena has entire Mega family support. However, Varun opined that his Babai Pawan Kalyan may not need them as he himself is a big force. But Varun maintained that time will reveal whether he would actually participate in poll campaign of Janasena or not in 2019 elections in AP.
Varun Tej revealed his conversation with Naga Babu about the controversy in an interview with a popular website.
What The Fasak! Balakrishna’s Morphed Video Create Ripples
Ram Gopal Varma stoops to new low with his publicity tactics. He released a video claiming that he doesn’t know who did it. In the video Balakrishna is heard saying that there are many stars in the biopic that he is making on NTR but there is not a single star in RGV’s Lakshmi’s NTR. To this RGV replies saying that there are no stars in his film, but there are truths which are not going to be shown in NTR biopic made by Balakrishna.
RGV released this video through Twitter to promote Vennupotu song from Lakshmi’s NTR that will be launched tomorrow. The worst thing about this video is using Voice morphing technology to recreate Balakrishna’s voice and claiming that he doesn’t know who made this. It is pretty clear that RGV did this on purpose to promote Lakshmi’s NTR.
The Officer director is desperately trying to provoke Balakrishna and Nandamuri fans so that Lakshmi’s NTR becomes a hot topic in the media and in business circles. We have seen how far RGV can go for publicity in Sri Reddy’s MC incident. So this is not a surprise but only a start to many gimmicks that he is going to do in the coming days. All he needs is a reaction from Balakrishna or Nara Chandra Babu Naidu so that Lakshmi’s NTR turns hot in the trade.
Will Adivi Sesh Come For A Settlement?
Needless to say, the talents of actor-writer-director Adivi Sesh are pretty well that he could rake in huge moolah at the box office with his work. After putting both Kshanam and Goodachari in an acclaimed spot, none will surely question this aspect of the hero.
However, his excessive talents are said to be leading to a spot where he cannot believe any other writer and director. Venkat Reddy, an associate of star director VV Vinayak, is directing the remake of Bollywood hit “2 States” that has Adivi Sesh and Rajasekhar’s daughter Sivani in the leads. But the movie shooting is not going on as planned.
Recently both the director and hero are said to have a major fallout and Adivi Sesh is rumored to have walked out from the sets. And that led to director Venkat Reddy approaching Directors Association to settle the issue. Now MAA is said to be readying to contact Sesh and find out what has happened.
What is to be seen is, will Adivi Sesh come for a creative settlement here? Or will he just leave the project midway?
Padi Padi Leche Manasu : Movie Review
Sharwanand, Sai Pallavi starrer Padi Padi Leche Manasu is a romantic drama directed by Krishnagadi Veera Prema Gadha director Hanu Raghavapudi. The film starts off as a breezy romantic comedy and loses track mid way.
What is it about?
Surya (Sharwanand) is madly in love with a medico Vaishali (Sai Pallavi). He tries all the tricks in the book to win her, but he disagrees to marry her as he doesn’t believe in the marriage system. The couple decides to give it time and separates for a while. But things don’t go as expected when they try to meet again.
Performances:
Sharwanand is charming and extremely likeable as Surya. His energy and the comedy timing keep the audience invested in his love story. Sai Pallavi gets a role where she could do justice to the ‘best actress’ tag. She is superb as the dominating Vaishali in the first half and also makes us feel her pain in the second half. Rest of the star cast doesn’t get much scope, but Murali Sharma, Sunil and Priyadarshi make their presence felt.
Technicalities:
Hanu Raghavapudi is a fine writer and good technician. He uses his skills to make it a refreshing romance until the intermission point, but loses grip over the narrative in the second half. There is so much confusion that creeps into the narrative after the intermission point and Hanu tries it too hard to make it work. But his attempts to make it an engaging film goes haywire as the screenplay gets tedious.
A couple of songs are very good both on audio and on screen. Background score also elevates the drama and mood of the movie. Cinematography is top notch. The way the Kolkata city has been explored through the eyes of the cinematographer is highly commendable. Editing gets clumsy in the second half. Final portions look very hurried and pointless. Production values are good.
Thumbs Up:
Sai Pallavi
Sharwanand
First Half
Thumbs Down:
Melodramatic second half
Hurried climax
Analysis:
Padi Padi Leche Manasu just breezes off till the intermission point with sparkling chemistry between the lead pair and beautifully conceived scenes between them. The film never gets boring at any point as Hanu sprinkles humor in every scene to keep the fun alive. Even the best songs in the album comes in the first half to make it one of the better first halves of the year. However, things go awry in the second half as the story takes an unexpected turn.
Everything looks forced and completely dramatic although Hanu tries to keep the entertainment intact. Even the comedy looks forced during this part as the story never moves forward. It looks as if Hanu is just passing the time before concluding the story. The sub plot of hero’s parents also isn’t done well. The film suddenly seems half baked as Hanu deliberately hides a secret for the sake of pre climatic twist.
This ploy has gone horribly wrong as most of the time is wasted on absolutely nothing and there is not enough time to explore the drama towards the end. The film comes to an abrupt stop and titles roll on leaving the audience in shock. The film’s plot has similarities to Karunakaran’s film Tej I Love You and perhaps some adjustments to the script were made accordingly after that film was released.
Padi Padi Leche Manasu is heading for a blockbuster at the intermission point and suddenly loses track and falls short of the mark by the time it ends. You may watch it for Sharwa and Sai Pallavi’s performances and the super enjoyable first hour. But it is all downhill post that. Hanu has no one but to blame himself for making a mess of the second half after such a pleasant first half.
Verdict: Rise and Fall of Romance!
Nani To Fall In Love With An Elder Lady
Natural star Nani is looking forward to some exciting films coming from him in the new year. And his immediate treat to audiences will be “Jersey” which has him playing the role of a cricketer. And here is an interesting snippet about it.
In films, very rarely the idea of hero playing an under-age to heroine will be seen. However, when Samantha played a couple of years elder to Chay in Ye Maya Chesave, their romance has hit the top gear, deriving a blockbuster out of the film. And now, Nani is said to be doing the same.
We hear that heroine Shraddha Srinath will play a character which is 4 years older than Nani, and their love story is going to be epic. Directed by Gautham of Malli Raava fame, this film has high volatile love drama apart from cricket.
All said done, in real life, Samantha is one year younger than Naga Chaitanya, while Shraddha Srinath is 6 years younger than her hero Nani. That’s the story!
Who Saved NTR? Trivikram Or Nani?
Even after the Telangana results are out, NTR abstaining from poll campaign in Kukatpally still continues to be a hot topic. And it is speculated that NTR had predicted Suhasini’s failure in Kukatpally based on his sources and smartly stayed away from campaigning for his sister. At one stage, NTR and Kalyan Ram got readied to campaign for Suhasini. But it didn’t happen, all thanks to NTR’s friend and a source. Had NTR too campaigned for Suhasini and had she still lost the seat, NTR’s image would have taken a beating.
And the question on everyone’s lips is who is that source to NTR? Who is that person who saved NTR from falling into Naidu’s trap? Who is the one who saved NTR?
Two names are doing the rounds on this. While political circuits are abuzz that NTR’s close friend and YCP’s Gudivada MLA Kodali Nani, who himself had also planned to campaign for Suhasini, is speculated to be the person who rescued NTR’s image. However, social media platforms have rumours that NTR’s new friend and director Trivikram Srinivas has stepped in and asked NTR to stay away from any sort of election campaign owing to his filmy career.
These two names are on guessing list at the moment. Only NTR knows who had influenced him more to give up his plans to participate in election campaign in Kukatpally.
