Shakalaka Shankar Crossing Limits, But Why?

Share

Comedian turned hero Shakalaka Shankar is trying his best to grab attention with his senseless speeches lately. Sambo Shankara film in which Shankar played the lead is set to hit the marquee on this Friday. Promos of Sambo Shankara were awful with Shankar imitating Pawan Kalyan in each and every frame. Like many comedians turned heroes, Shankar also seems to have done a grave mistake by taking himself very seriously as a hero.

Many comedians who haven’t stick to their strength have tasted bitter results at box office. Comedians are meant to do comedy, but our comedians try to project themselves as action heroes by doing fights and mouthing punch dialogues. Sambo Shankara promos show Shakalaka Shankar as a true blue commercial hero. Shankar is so confident about the film that he says that it will collect Rs. 10 crore and Rs. 13 crore at box office.

He is dragging many big names for not giving him a break as hero. He claims to have asked Trivikram, Dil Raju, Ravi teja and Allu Sirish to launch him as the leading man. He is mocking them for missing out on a great opportunity of making crores of profits. Is Shankar doing this for attention or has he lost mind?

He hardly gets lengthy roles as comedian. It would become tough for him to get those single scene characters if he fails as a hero. His speeches will surely irk those who have been encouraging him as comedian. Is Shankar getting carried away or is he faking confidence to trick the audience?

‘H-1B visa rules’ tightening to hit IT cos’ margins’

Share

MUMBAI: Tightening of H-1B work visa norms by the US is likely to put cost pressures on the Indian IT services firms and impact their margins due to increase in compliances and rise in onsite hiring, according to a report. However, the impact will be company specific and relative to H-1B visa dependence, rating agency Icra said in its report.

“The changes will disqualify certain positions currently eligible for H-1B visas, thereby impeding the movement of low-cost skilled labour from India and will have direct bearing on margins,” said Gaurav Jain, vice-president, corporate sector ratings, Icra. The US is also contemplating on awarding visas to the most skilled or to highest-paid beneficiaries. Icra feels this move will work against the Indian IT services sector (H-1B dependent) as the average wage is approximately lower by 25 per cent compared to companies that are not dependent on H-1B visas as per estimates.

A firm is defined as H-1B dependent if more than 15 per cent of its US full-time employees are on an H-1B visa. Jain said awarding of H-1B visas based on highest skill or compensation, will leave less headroom for Indian companies to get such visas. Consequently, increased onsite hiring or raising the compensation for H-1B visa applicants will impact companies’ margins and will be credit negative, he said.

“However, the impact will be company specific and relative to H-1B visa dependence,” he added. The US government is also planning to permanently end work authorisation (H-4 visa) granted to spouses of H-1B visa holders. Icra feels revoking such visas will have an indirect negative impact on workers currently employed on H-1B visas or seeking such visas whose spouses are working professionals.

Jain said Indian companies have started to ramp up onshore hiring. “Leading firms are also increasing their proportion of offshore work to reduce dependence on such visas, though the magnitude of such shifts is expected to be marginal as only certain services are amenable to higher offshoring (testing, IMS) compared to others,” he said.

Overall, Icra expects a ramp up in onshore hiring, particularly for entry-level programmers to maintain a competitive cost structure, while reducing dependence on H-1B visas for such low-cost skilled labour. (PTI)

What happened to Ex Love Birds?

Share

He is a young hero who made a splashy entry with a wholesome family entertainer. Later on, he paired up with her for a bold film which turned out to be a blockbuster. The duo were in a serious relationship and even worked for some more films together and the result was nothing great. Personally, both have moved on. While the young hero is rumoured to be in live-in relation with another girl, she too moved on personally and is having her own relations.

On Professional front, the hero got into sidetrack due to poor choice of stories and is tasting duds one after the other, she also is going through similar fate.

While she bagged a big film but even she couldn’t get advantage out of it. After her choices failed miserably, she started losing offers. The glam tag she gained too now not helping her much.

Both the ex lovers are now going through very dull phase and both direly need one major success to bounce back. Many of their fans are now hoping that there could be some change in their career if they both act together again. However, industry folks are not daring to invest money on the combo given both are in flops.

Anupama Turning All Round South Girl

Share

‘Premam’ beauty Anupama Parameswaran is turning up those rare beauties who have featured in films of all the south languages. Only a few hotties like Trisha and Nitya Menon appeared in all the four languages and now this young Mallu girl is joining the club.

Generally, a heroine from Kannada region gets chances in all other languages, but stars from Mallu and Tamil background rock in all three tinsel towns other than Kannada. Because they say that the remuneration offered in Sandalwood films for heroines is pretty low. However, Anupama is said to have found a right character to debut in Kannada industry.

She will be playing the lead opposite none other than Powerstar Puneet Rajkumar in his upcoming film that will be directed by Pawan Wadeyar of Telugu film “Potugadu” fame. With some good Telugu movies in the kitty, that are up for release, including Sai Dharam Tej’s Tej I Love U, Anupama is just on a roll we have to say.

On the other side, she needs some good hits in Telugu as most of her recent films tanked at the box office. Only after a superb blockbuster comes her way, she might break into the big league films.

After KCR, It’s KTR’s Turn

Share

While the Centre is doing its best to cajole Andhra Pradesh and Telangana ruling governments, KCR-led TRS, which failed to form a non-Congress, non-BJP Federal Front, is seems to be getting close to the BJP.

After KCR’s meeting with Modi on 15th of this month, his son and the power centre of the Telangana government KTR has met PM Narendra Modi today in Delhi. Although both the father and son duo state that the meeting was nothing to do with politics and was just to discuss the pending issues in Telangana, strong speculations have it that TRS and BJP are likely to forge alliance ahead of 2019 polls.

Telangana IT, Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister KT Rama Rao on Wednesday spoke to the reporters after meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi.

KTR said Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao met PM Modi on June 15th and brought to his notice a lot of issues which need to be resolved by the Central government, out of the 10 trivial issues, two issues were given more priority.

However, speaking to media after meeting Modi, KTR said he discussed on the impending integrated Steel Plant setup at Bayyaram in Khammam district and Information Technology Investment Region proposal approved by UPA government is yet to be carried out by the centre. KTR said he raised that there was no progress in these projects in the last four years. KTR said he also briefed the PM about the development activities carried out by the state and the huge growth of Information Technology in the state.

Earlier, during Modi’s visit to Hyderabad for the inauguration of Hyderabad Metro, Modi sat next to KTR against the protocol of sitting next to the Chief Minister. The duo had maintained good rapport then. KTR’s fresh meet with Modi continues to raise eyebrows among political circles even as TRS leaders state that they are maintaining equal distance with both Congress and BJP.

It all began when Congress, the principal opposition of TRS, joined hands with the JD(S) in Karnataka and that led to the united Opposition that couldn’t accommodate TRS.

Sack DS, Kavitha Writes Letter To KCR

Share


The TRS leaders of Nizamabad, led by MP Kavitha and state Mahila president of the party Tula Uma, have sent a letter to their party supreme and state Chief Minister KCR demanding to take a serious action against Rajya Sabha member from the district – D Srinivas.

The district TRS leaders have set up a meeting to demand an action against the senior leader for involving in the anti-party activities & offering his services to boost the career of his son D Aravind, who’s in Bharatiya Janata Party.

Highlighting the angst of district leaders, Nizamabad MP Kavitha on Wednesday said that ‘TRS party always respected the senior leader with cabinet rank position & nominating him to Rajya Sabha but we’re continuously getting reports from our sources that he’s motivating the cadre to join in another party. Also, family members of D Srinivas joined other parties without any protocol. So, we request our beloved leader CM KCR Garu take a strong action against him.’

The senior leader of Nizamabad & former Congress leader, D Srinivas joined TRS in 2015 and he’s soon appointed as special advisor to the Telangana government. In addition, he was given a cabinet rank with a responsibility to handle inter-state affairs. Later in 2016, DS was nominated to Rajya Sabha from Telangana along with Captain V Laxmikantha Rao.

Responding to the meeting conducted against his activities, DS initially denied offering a comment. Later, he said he has no idea why the district leaders have come to the wrong conclusion against him and said, ‘In my entire political career, I never worked against my party.’ On the other hand, Srinivas’ son D Aravind addressed a meeting along with his BJP cadre and said – ‘TRS leaders are intentionally bringing my name into their internal party issue and MP Kavitha is only attempting to gain popularity among people of the district with such meetings.’

From last few months, D Srinivas has reportedly been asking for a key party position for his younger son Sanjay but all his efforts are in vain. So, assuming that he’s given a lesser importance in the party, DS is said to have designed a roadmap to join back in Congress.

The consequence of Nizamabad party leaders’ meet could be felt soon as CM K Chandrasekhar Rao is expected to take strong action against any leader who involves in anti-party activities.

Social Media Talk: Akira Is Fan Of Jr NTR not Pawan!

Share

Generally in Tollywood, everything gets limited to the family. Sons of some stars worship either their dads or their babais, grandpas and cousins. But never they quote some other star as their favourite. But it sounds like the upcoming generation is different in that aspect.

Recently Varun Tej has stated that Prabhas is his favourite star if he has to choose someone other than Mega family heroes. And now, another mega kid is said to have shared that Jr NTR is his pick for the kind of dances the star puts up on the floor.

A video is doing rounds on the internet saying that Pawan spoke exclusively with some fans in Vijayawada during his recent trip. As his son Akira Nandan is around, Powerstar is said to have told them jokingly that his son is not his fan, but he is an ardent admirer of Jr NTR on the silver screen. Whether this banter took place or not, right now the internet is buzzing with this.

Well, with Pawan, Tarak, Charan and Mahesh maintaining that terrific chemistry between them with their friendship, it is no strange that their kin and kith could be fans of their family friends.

Pawan Direct Attack on Chiru’s Close Aide

Share


Minister Ganta Srinivasa Rao is considered to be a close friend of Chiru and his family. Whenever Chiru wants some sort of political help, he would reach out to Ganta. Be it the permissions for an audio launch venue or pre-release event venue, Chiru would dial Ganta to seek help and otherwise as Ganta took Chiru’s help for the launch of his son’s acting debut. Amidst this, Pawan’s latest comments referring to Ganta have kicked up a storm within mega clan.

Pawan Kalyan launched his fresh tweet attack against Ganta. Although Pawan hasn’t referred Ganta’s name directly, he alleged that 1 Lakh acres of land in Visakhapatnam was grabbed by TDP leaders and their accomplices. This is in the wake of recent land-grabbing allegations against Ganta in Vizag.

Not naming Ganta, Pawan has demanded CM Chandrababu Naidu to reveal the report of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) constituted by AP state government to look into the allegations of land grabbing in Vizag.

“These two booklets focuses on land grabbing of 1 lakh acres in Visakhapatnam rural by TDP leaders & their accomplices.I wonder, why? Hon.CM Sri CBN garu hasn’t revealed SIT report about land grabbing to public after concerned authorities submitting the report,” PK tweeted sharing the two booklets.

What’s more? Pawan is predicting that Uttarandhra would become another Telangana. He said he is witnessing the signs of strong Uttarandhra self-respect movement and said its negligence would result in another statehood movement.

“Even Telangana movement started off like this and it became a great movement and they had achieved statehood. If the Greed ,Cruelty & Oppression continues by ‘Ruling classes of AP’ …even Uttarandhra will become separate state in the next few years or less,” Pawan added.

Pawan’s tweets have kicked up a storm within mega family given Ganta’s close association with Chiru & Co. While Ganta is Chiru’s troubleshooter when it comes to any political hurdles, dragging his name indirectly has become shot in the arm of Pawan’s detractors.

Many analysts are finding fault with Pawan’s choosy comments. While Pawan refrained from naming Ganta directly – probably due to family association, he continued to target Chandrababu is raising several eyebrows and Pawan’s selective and biased criticism.

Instead of offering any solutions to any of the public issues so far, Pawan’s allegations on the ruling government is inviting flak from several corners. And if anyone asks him for proofs, Pawan as usual turns silent and throws the blame on others saying it as hearsay from a few people. Looks like, Pawan continues with his confusion politics.
