The episode of anchor Pradeep and his disappearance post getting caught by Hyderabad police while driving his swanky BMW on 31st night became a sensation of sorts.

In the early hours of January 1st at 3 am, actually, Pradeep was caught at a checkpoint in Road No 45 and the breathe analyser test recorded a reading of 178mg. Afterwards, Pradeep hasn’t appeared before the police for counselling session that will be given to the people caught committing the drunk driving offence. With today being last day to attend the session, everyone went clueless.

After releasing a video where Pradeep has accepted that he committed a huge mistake, today finally the star anchor has turned up at Goshamahal Station to take part in the counselling session. Along with his father, Pradeep turned up at the session and it will go on for nearly three hours.

And then, tomorrow Pradeep is going to appear before a magistrate as well. In all the cases to date where the offenders are caught with more than 100+ mg of alcohol in blood, Court has issued a couple of days jail sentence. That’s what worrying this anchor’s admirers now, whether he will be receiving a punishment from the court or just gets slapped fine.

Hindu epic Mahabharata has always been a fascinating source to explore and bring on silver screen. Several filmmakers have made several films drawing inspirations from the epic but the source is so vast that it continues to give new ideas. The interest of audience has piqued on Mahabharata especially after the likes of Rajamouli, Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan have expressed their dream of making films on the epic.

Now, here comes an announcement regarding a huge project on the most interesting character of Mahabharata, ‘Karna’. Star Tamil hero has officially announced his new film, a high-budget magnum opus titled “Mahavir Karna”. To be made primarily in Hindi, the mythological film will be dubbed in Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam.

Vikram will essay the role of Karna in this epic period drama to be directed by RS Vimal and bankrolled by United Film Kingdom.

Targeting Pawan Kalyan with his sharpest words possible, critic Mahesh Kathi hogged the limelight in last few weeks. And with Poonam Kaur indirectly breathing fire at him by calling him ‘fatso’, Kathi accused that Poonam is having an illegal affair with Pawan and also claimed to have proofs about it.

Reacting to the same, a Tollywood director named Vivek has stunned not only audiences but also Mahesh in a live show. Other day after the debate on TV9 went rather intense, Mahesh joined another debate on Mahaa News, which was also attended by this director.

In view of Mahesh talking about a so-called private affair of heroine Poonam Kaur, whether that is true or not, director Vivek asked Mahesh to talk about his mother for two minutes. “Mahesh garu, can you please talk about your mother? I know your mother is a great lady and wouldn’t have done anything bad. Please talk about her for two minutes, I’ll then pose my questions to you” asked Vivek.

Stunned by this question, Mahesh Kathi went damn silent for at least two minutes during the live interview. Vivek further added, “When you could talk about other ladies out there, now as you’re a social celebrity, definitely we have to talk about your mother too. Please speak out!!”.

Removing his collar mic and leaving it on the desk, Mahesh Kathi left the TV show, saying that ‘This is not going well’, ‘I’m not doing this interview’, and left the studio. Clearly, some sort of irritation could be seen on Mahesh’s face at that time.

Bollywood actress Malaika Arora is the perfect example of exemplary hawtness that defies age. She may be in her mid-forties but no one can deny that she keeps getting sexier with age.

Malaika’s Instagram account is a delight for beauty lovers and her fans. After having a look at some of the pictures that she shares, anyone would refuse to believe that she has a 15-year-old son too. The stunningly hawt actress has just shared a photo of herself posing in bikini on the beach, and its irresistibly hawt, like any of her pictures from beaches or gym. She puts in strenuous hard work and spends hours in fitness centres to maintain those flawless curves even at 44.

Actress Poonam Kaur, who has become a soft target, a sort of scapegoat in the long-going feud between Kathi Mahesh and Pawan Kalyan’s fans, has sought the help of the Jana Sena Chief to bail her out of the detrimental controversy.

Presumably hurt and depressed by her personal life being dragged in the ongoing controversy, Poonam took to Twitter just a while ago and requested Pawan Kalyan’s help. She pleaded that her career, family and respect are at stake because of some vested interests targeting her personal life. She sought Pawan’s appointment so that she can meet him and explain her situation.

“I do not want to become a political target for people’s hidden agendas,” wrote Poonam, conveying that her reverence for Pawan is being misrepresented by some people having hidden agendas.

What’s surprising is that Poonam Kaur resorting to social media to seek Pawan’s appointment. Can’t she meet Pawan directly or talk on phone in the capacity of a celebrity or an admirer or for that matter, a victim in the ongoing controversy? Why did she have to request Pawan on the public platform at a time when she is completely under the radar?

Adding further confusion and mystery to the story, Poonam Kaur deleted her tweets, through which she requested Pawan’s help, within minutes after sharing them on public platform. Was she asked to delete them? Will Pawan respond?

For a long time, everyone is eagerly waiting to see the trailer of Anushka’s latest movie “Bhaagamathie”. After she delivered a stunning performance in Baahubali as Devasena, the whole country is even looking forward for this film. Here comes the much-awaited trailer.

After stunning everyone with a sensational teaser where Anushka is seen crusading herself, director Ashok has now given a sleek peek of the story of the movie. It happens to be the story of IAS Officer Chanchala, played by Anushka, who sets out to do good for a village. And then she’s disgraced, put behind bars and somehow sent to this ill-gotten and ghost-ridden Mahal.

That sets the tone for everything as we could notice that the Mahal belongs to erstwhile Bhaagamathie of a different era. As Anushka in her other role says, “Evadu padithey vaadu raavadaaniki idemanna pasuvula Doddaa? Bhaagamathie Adda. Lekkalu telali. Okkadni ponivvanu!!”

Anushka’s riveting performance in a dual role, Thaman’s hair-raising background score, Madhie’s terrific cinematography puts this film on a higher bar with UV Productions reflecting their marvellous production values yet again.

As Anushka says ‘Lekkalu telali’, it sounds like she’s talking about those box office ‘lekkalu’ from January 26th. Bhaagamathie, we’re waiting!!

The ongoing spat between Pawan Kalyan’s supporters and Kathi Mahesh doesn’t seem to stop as a new celebrity is getting involved in the controversy each passing day. Comedian Venu Madhav has now jumped into the verbal spat, in support of Pawan.

Venu called the media house on phone while Kathi Mahesh was in the news channel’s studio, in a live discussion, and asked him to mend his ways. Alleging that his mental condition is not normal, Venu Madhav satirically told Kathi to consult a good doctor, and he also offered to bear the medical expenses.

He also asked Kathi to prove all the 6 questions he had raised yesterday on the relation between Pawan Kalyan and actress Poonam Kaur. He allegedly warned that Movie Artists Association (MAA) will take an action against Mahesh for his alleged comments against Poonam Kaur.

During the discussion on phone, Venu Madhav appealed Pawan fans not to react to the inciting comments being made by Kathi.

Responding to Venu’s comments, Kathi Mahesh called him the Bhajana Batch of Pawan Kalyan. He also warned him to be careful.
