Watch Nandamuri Balakrishna, Sumanth and Vidya Balan Visits Tirumala
Watch: Dil Raju Gives Befitting Replay
Which films should get priority in Telugu states – Telugu films or dubbed movies? asks Dil Raju in a strong reply to producer Prasanna Kumar who made allegations that a mafia is controlling all the theaters in AP and Telangana.
Reacting to the allegations, Dil Raju said at F2 trailer launch that they are struggling to allot theaters to all the three biggies that are hitting the screens this Sankranthi.
“NTR Biopic, Vinaya Vidheya Rama and F2…all are biggies. We as an industry need to allot to theaters to these Telugu movies. So blaming us for not giving more number of screens to Petta exposes the mindset of those who are demanding,” he lashed at Prasanna.
Dil Raju is also distributing ‘Vinaya Vidheya Rama’ in Nizam and in some districts in Andhra apart from his production ‘F2’.
The allegations that only four produces are controlling the theaters in Andhra and Nizam are nothing new but this time ‘Petta’ makers are not getting support as their demands are unfair.
Vivek Oberoi’s first look in and as Narendra Modi
The first look of the much-talked-about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s biopic is out. Starring Vivek Anand Oberoi in the lead role, here’s presenting the first promotional poster of PM Narendra Modi.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis launched the poster of the movie in Mumbai today.
We must say that Vivek Oberoi, who would be using his full name for the first time, looks almost unrecognisable in the poster.
The official poster was released in 23 languages at a press conference today.
Directed by Omung Kumar B and produced by Suresh Oberoi and Sandip Ssingh, the movie is expected to go on floors later this month. Check out the first look of the movie below.
Omang Kumar, who has previously directed the biopics Mary Kom and Sarabjit, is now ready to make a film on honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who, in the words of Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis, has had a magnanimous rise from being a poor tea-seller in his childhood days to a nation-transforming leader.
F2 Trailer: Frustration of Husbands A Lot of Fun
Anil Ravipudi’s F2 – Fun and Frustration trailer is out and it has lot of fun moments with Venkatesh in top form.
It has been a while since Venkatesh played a full-fledged fun character and the veteran is still at his best in comedy scenes.
Although the film has another lead played by Varun Tej, the trailer is all Venky totally dominating all through.
The film is about the frustration of husbands who are suffering because of their dominating and demanding wives.
Anil Ravipudi who is known for writing quirky comedy scenes has stick to his strengths in this one. Tamanna and Mehreen offer lots of glam show which would surely grab attention besides fun moments.
Varun Tej makes his presence felt with his Telangana accent, but couldn’t match up to Venky’s comedy timing in whatever is shown in the trailer.
All in all, F2 seems to be a fun film that can be enjoyed with the families for the festival. The film bankrolled by Dil Raju is hitting the screens on Jan 12.
It’s That Simple! YS Jagan On Winning 2019 Polls
For the first time ever, YSR Congress party president and AP’s opposition leader YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has given an interview to another competitor Telugu channel other than Sakshi TV. His interview on TV9 is going super viral now.
Sharing his thoughts about the current political scenario, YS Jagan made many interesting comments. Especially his logic about the vote share and confidence of winning people’s mandate is simply impressive. Here is what Jagan has to say about the vote share and his party is going to amass major vote share with respect to possible political equations in AP.
“If TDP and Pawan are not contesting together, then all those folks who voted for TDP looking at Pawan’s presence will now vote to Janasena. At least 90% of them will vote for Janasena and that naturally gives the edge to YSRC vote share. If TDP and Pawan join to content, the game is simply over. All the anti-incumbent vote comes to YSR Congress. In any given scenario, YSR Congress has all the reasons to sweep 2019 elections”, said Jagan.
That’s quite optimistic and impressive logic from Jagan, hope his calculations don’t misfire.
Balayya Shows 2.O Avatar To Fans At Airport
Usually, if fans get in his way at airport exits, Nandamuri Balakrishna responds rather strongly and sometimes harshly. That is the reason for the evolution of some slapgate incidents as well. But now, he has simply surprised all.
Today when Balayya was on his way to reach Nimmakuru, some fans came to Vijayawada airport when he was boarding the car. Asking all the fans to come in a row, the Nandamuri star collected bouquets from them and he also unveiled the #NTR calendars they have bought with them.
When some fan gave him a bouquet and wished him Happy New Year, the senior hero said ‘thank you’ in his trademark style. Well, this cool #2.O avatar of Balayya is really a super hit as the video has been trending since morning on the social media.
Meanwhile, along with Kalyan Ram and Vidya Balan, today Balayya went to Nimmakuru and garlanded the statues of his parents, NTR and Basava Tarakam, taking their blessings.
Only CM and Home Minister in TS first cabinet meeting
The first cabinet meeting of new Telangana government is attended by only two members. One is obviously the chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and the other member is Home Minister Mahmood Ali.
Some key decisions were taken in the cabinet meeting. The first among many is to nominate Anglo-Indian community representative and to also make him take oath along with newly elected MLAs.
Generally, Anglo-Indian MLA nomination would take time and the representative would get less time to work as an MLA. To avoid this delay, the cabinet has decided to speed up the process. Mumtaz Ahmed Khan of MIM party has been nominated as Pro-tem speaker and Elvis Stephenson as a nominated member of the House.
The above proposals were sent to Governor and on his consent, Gazette notification will be released.
The cabinet appreciated Election Commission of India, state election commission and commissioner Rajath Kumar for holding the Telangana elections in a peaceful manner.
The Telangana assembly is likely to meet on January 17th. Newly elected MLAs will take an oath, followed by Speaker and deputy speaker selection.
Yatra Trailer: All about YSR’s epic ‘padayatra’
The trailer of ‘Yatra’ based on the walk marathon (padayatra) of late politician YS Rajasekhar Reddy is out.
This is a typical political drama and so it begins with a serious political scenario within the Congress party. Malayalam superstar Mammootty played the role of YSR. As he decided to take up ‘padayatra’ somehow his party leadership is not convinced with the idea.
Despite the opposition, Mammootty goes ahead and how he gets know about the people’s problems and wins their trust forms the plot.
“Naa Vidheyathani, Vishwasanni Balaheenathaga Thesukovaddandi,” says Mammooty and it reveals that a lot happened behind YSR when the party is not in power.
We have to watch how YSR dealt with them and became the chief minister of erstwhile Andhra Pradesh.
Directed by Mahi Raghav, the film is releasing on February 8th.
Modi Offered Deputy PM For KCR?
Ever since the Prajakutami’s decimation in Telangana and TRS’ thumping victory, Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has been reminding his political rival and AP Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu about his “return gift.” While there has been speculation that TRS and BJP have had an internal understanding in defeating the TDP, trustworthy sources say that there is a secret deal which may surprise the political fraternity.
The deal is also a reason behind KCR’s growing ambitions to play a key role in national politics. According to these inside sources, Bharatiya Janata Party and Telangana Rashtra Samithi have decided that if TRS is successful in interfering in Andhra Pradesh’s Assembly elections and plays a role in helping other political parties unite against TDP and defeat Chandrababu, KCR will get a plum post at the Centre (which means KTR will be made the Chief Minister of Telangana).
Apparently, BJP High Command has promised that if KCR is successful in defeating Chandrababu Naidu (by uniting Jana Sena and YSRCP) in AP, then he will be given the post of a Deputy Prime Minister. Sources added that KCR’s attempts at forming Federal Front are just a cover to show that he is not close to the BJP and hence, is seeking a non-BJP and non-Congress front.
While the politics behind the deal is understandable, it also reflects that today’s politics revolve more around personal grudges and egos rather than professional political moves.
If Not Krish, He Would Have Directed ‘NTR’
Looking at the way #NTR Biopic trailer was carved, one could understand how director Krish might have made this film. With each and every visual looking aesthetic, actors looking appropriate and Balayya a superb fit in NTR’s role, definitely Krish is taking all the credit home.
After the exit of Teja as the director of this prestigious project, there are many names heard, but finally, Krish was aboard. What if this director is not there? Who would have directed this prestigious film? Earlier names like K Raghavendra Rao and B Gopal are also heard in connection with this. So who would have got a chance?
“In case if Krish hasn’t come aboard, I would have directed the film myself. When I am contemplating to direct the film after Teja garu’s exit, Krish came and asked me if he could direct the film. In just two minutes, I said yes to him” said Balayya, in an interview.
Talking about Teja’s exit, Balayya stated that the director himself left the project saying that he cannot handle a picture of such bigger premise and setup.
