The controversial Tollywood actress Sri Reddy was the biggest news grabber till the moment she abused Tollywood actor who turned politician Pawan Kalyan with vulgar words involving his mother. Later, Sri Reddy was sidelined from mainstream but she continued to make allegations on both Tollywood and Kollywood industry celebrities.

In a fresh round of attack, Sri Reddy took a crude dig at Pawan Kalyan by posting a photo of the actor where he wore a saree and tagged it as ‘PK ki baga istamaina get up..’ (PK’s favorite get up). Earlier this month, Sri Reddy invited wrath of Pawan fans by posting an incendiary photo of the Jana Sena founder along with six women who are involved in his personal and professional life. She added a comment to it – ‘Teluginti aadabiddallaraa…ithanu manaku avasaramaa?’ (Telugu women, do we need this person?)

She has been continuously targeting the actor with harsh comments and in the latest one, she crossed the limits with an intolerable post- certainly giving the fans an implication that she’s attacking Pawan with an hidden agenda and acting as a secret agent of the political firm in AP.By calling Andhra Pradesh opposition leader YS Jagan Mohan Reddy as ‘Anna’, Sri Reddy clearly hinted that she’s Jagan supporter.

Thanks to the blockbuster success of Geetha Govindam, Vijay Deverakonda is now next only to Nani among the mid range heroes. However, Vijay’s ever growing stardom is causing fresh troubles for his directors.

Vijay had signed Geetha Govindam and his upcoming experimental thriller ‘Taxiwaala’ even before he rose to stardom with Arjun Reddy. Director Parasuram had to tweak Geetha Govindam’s script a lot to suit Vijay’s newfound stardom.

Same with Taxiwaala’s director who has been reportedly reshooting the film and making a lot of changes according to Vijay’s star image although the principal shooting was completed long back.

And after Geetha Govindam’s success, the pressure is on Dear Comrade’s director to satisfy Vijay’s fans at the cost of his script. The same trend is expected to continue with all the movies Vijay is going to sign in future.

It’s unbelievable as ‘Geetha Govindam’ has collected a gross of Rs 37.45 crore in the first three days worldwide at the box office. These are quite stunning numbers which are on par with a big hero’s film.

‘Geetha Govindam’ has become the first film in Vijay Deverakonda’s career to collect Rs 10 crore from Nizam region and it might collect even more.
