Director’s Unwanted Comments On Heroine’s Makeup!
Under the umbrella of success, sometimes filmmakers lose their words in wrong directions and they result in a big setback. This time, everything looked like fun as Hello Guru Prema Kosame director spoke his heart out, but industry biggies are saying that it is not a wise way of talking about a heroine.
In the recent success meet of HGPK, director Nakkina Trinadha Rao made fun of heroine Anupama Parameswaran in a lighter vein. Firstly he called her An-Upma, reading a gap between ‘an’ and ‘upma’, for which the actress laughed. Later he stated that one day some girl came in the car and called him, but he is confused who that is. And later when that girl put her makeup on, he identified her to be Anupama Parameswaran.
Though the Mallu beauty is seen blushing for these comments and laughing out loud, industry biggies feel that talking about a heroine’s looks in that way is not good. “Many heroines are not recognisable if they don’t wear makeup. And if we popularise that, audiences might lose craze on these girls. When these heroines are the front faces of our films, why should we insult them?” a biggie asked.
Looks like Trinadha Rao got carried away and threw those unwanted ‘upma’ comments.

The H-1B visas are the most sought-after among Indian IT professionals.
The visa programme allows employers to temporarily employ foreign workers in the US on a non-immigrant basis in specialty occupations or as fashion models of distinguished merit and ability.
London-headquartered Ernst and Young, a multinational professional services firm, has emerged as the top employer to have received the certification.
In fact, Ernst and Young with 151,164 H-1B specialist occupation labour certifications accounted for the 12.4 per cent of all foreign labour certification for H-1B work visas for the fiscal year 2018 ending on September 30, according to the latest annual report released by the Department of Labour early this month.

India’s Tata Consultancy Services or TCS is the only Indian company in top 10 for the year 2018.

According to the Department of Labour, a specialty occupation requires theoretical and practical application of a body of specialised knowledge and a bachelor’s degree or the equivalent in the specific specialty (e.g. sciences, medicine, health care, education, biotechnology, and business specialties, etc.).
Congress has limited the annual number of qualifying foreign workers who may be issued a visa or otherwise be provided the H-1B status to 65,000 with an additional 20,000 under the H-1B advanced degree exemption.
Before applying for the H-1B visas the employer submits a labour condition application to the Department of Labour.
Companies can proceed with the H-1B petitions, only after they receive such a certification by the Department of Labour.
Chiru Back To Janasena?
Speculations are afloat in political circuits that Chiranjeevi would join Pawan Kalyan’s Janasena. It is strongly buzzed that Chiru would return to politics after Sye Raa and would join his younger brother depending on the results of the general elections 2019.
Talk is Pawan and Chiru are in good terms and have been discussing on the issues. Even Pawan’s advise to Ram Charan to adopt a village in Cyclone Titli-affected region clear indicate that there is a great support from Chiru & family to Pawan’s Janasena. It is rumoured in political circles that Janasena’s Kavathu was organized and planned by Allu Aravind.
However, the mega family doesn’t want to come out in open now. They’re adopting a wait and watch policy until the results of 2019 general polls. Post that, Chiru may return to Janasena and may play a key role at the Centre. Given Pawan’s rapport with Modi, a Union Minister post for Chiru in NDA 2 may not be impossible, opine rumour mongers. Even Naga Babu too had already stated that he is part of Janasena and he would join the party at the appropriate moment. All these indicate that Janasena is going to be a family party. However, Pawan doesn’t want these inside details to go out now as he had been claiming as “New Age” politics for “Change”. Yet, Pawan is relying on same old politicians who had no vacancy in TDP, YCP.
On the other hand,Pawan is estimating that whoever comes to power in AP would need Janasena’s support to form the government. He would like to join the government and would like to play a prominent role in the state if he couldn’t become the Chief Minister.
At the moment, Pawan’s dreams are far away from the situation at ground zero as his party direly need strong candidates to take on mighty TDP and YSRCP.

Cong-TDP Combine Fogging Out TJS, CPI?
Going by the indications available as of now, the Telangana Jana Samithi headed by Prof M Kodandaram and Communist Party of India are all set to stage a walk out of the yet-to-be formed grand alliance in the ensuing elections in Telangana.
In fact, it appears the Telugu Desam Party and the Congress party are virtually fogging the the TJS and the CPI to leave the alliance on their own, as the latter are not willing to compromise on the number of seats to be allocated to them as part of seat sharing.
The TJS wants at least 17 assembly seats, while the CPI wants not less than half a dozen seats, if not 10-12.However, the Congress is not willing to give up more than nine seats to the TJS and two or three seats to the CPI.What is worse, the seats proposed to be allocated to these two parties are insignificant as the chances of winning these seats are very bleak.
On the other hand, the Congress has adopted a liberal attitude towards the TDP. Though the Telangana TDP leaders have asked for 20 assembly seats, they are willing to compromise for 12-15 seats. The Congress is ready to give 12 seats to the TDP.
On Monday, TDP president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu had a meeting with the Telangana TDP leaders and told them not to insist on more seats.“For us, the number is not very important. What we want is alliance to defeat the TRS. If the alliance comes to power, we can ask for good positions and posts,” he told them.
He, however, assured that he would have a talk with the Congress leaders to concede another two or three seats so that the number would be around 15.Apparently, he is of the hope that if the TJS and CPI walk out of the alliance, the TDP can ask for a couple of more seats.
“It looks like a conspiracy hatched by the TDP and the Congress to kick out the TJS and CPI, just because they are asking for genuine seats. But, that will ultimately help the TRS and we have nothing to lose,” a TJS leader said.
Pic: Katrina Kaif rocks in black swimsuit
On Monday, actor Katrina Kaif took to Instagram to post one of her coolest snaps yet. Katrina was wearing a black swimsuit while hanging out in a pool.
She showed off her trim body as she posed for the picture, taken during what appears to be a pool-based workout routine with celebrity fitness trainer, Yasmin Karachiwala.Katrina propped herself up on the edge of a swimming pool, putting her toned arms on display. She tilted her head to the side and wore a smile while the photo was taken.
The Thugs of Hindostan star simply captioned her underwater photo, “Monday mornings”. She added a star emoji, perhaps giving a nod to her star status.
Will Fortunes Change For This Convincing Hero?
Few heroes don’t see success until a long time, though every critic out there is hailing them as best actor. While one such actor is Nara Rohit, the other hero is his friend Sri Vishnu.
For his performances in movies like Prema Ishq Kadal, Mental Madhilo, Appatlo Okadundevadu and recent film Needhi Naadhi Oke Kadha, this talented actor got recognition. But that didn’t shape up into a huge success at box office and hasn’t made him a dependable box office star.
After convincing many critics and serious film lovers with his acting talents, he is now getting ready to showcase his negative side on the silver screen. In the upcoming film Veera Bhoga Vasantha Rayalu, Sri Vishnu will be seen as a six-pack flaunting harsh villain who is rumoured to be involved in human trafficking.
We have to see if fortunes will change for this actor and he comes to a star after the release of the movie. Veera Bhoga Vasantha Rayalu is set for October 26th release.
Chandrababu’s Vision 2019 for NTR Jr?
Has Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and Telugu Desam Party president Nara Chandrababu Naidu convinced NTR Jr to campaign for the party in the next year’s general elections?Nandamuri Balakrishna attending the success meet of “Aravindha Sametha” and Lokesh’s wife Brahmini presenting a special gift consisting of Harikrishna’s photos to NTR Jr gave rise to these speculations.
Has Naidu almost succeeded in his efforts to woo NTR Jr again?
NTR Jr had earlier canvassed for Telugu Desam party in year 2009 but his show became a damp squib with the party failing to come to power. Since then, NTR Jr has been staying away from party activities.This has created a huge rift between Balakrishna and NTR Jr and they were not on talking terms till a month ago.
With the polls round the corner, Naidu wants NTR Jr who is riding high on popularity with series of moderate to big hits to canvass for the party. NTR Jr also talks well unlike Balakrishna whose speech no one understands.
In the early 2000’s, Naidu’s pet line was he had vision 2020 for the development of Andhra Pradesh. Now, his worry is only vision 2019 (elections). Will NTR Jr really fall for Naidu and Balakrishna’s family pressure?Balakrishna didn’t praise NTR’s performance in “Aravindha Sametha” at the event held the other day.
His body language too seemed as if he came to the event just to drive home the point that all is well between them. NTR Jr also didn’t use any big words for his babai Balakrishna, in his speech.
An uneasy relationship between them for sure!
