A resident of Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province was taken into police custody and booked for treason (a case that’s registered for betraying one’s own country). Why? Read on…
A Pakistani youngster named Sajid Shah has reportedly inscribed the slogan ‘Zindabad Hindustan’ on the compound wall of his home and that has apparently triggered a fury in his area. Every other guy who passed by his residence took a snap of it and emailed to police officials to book him for ‘treason’.

Casting Couch, a phenomenon that goes like offer-in-a-film for sex, is not quite rampant in India film industries, say industry people. But after Hollywood’s Harvey Weinstein episode stunned the world, many Indian actresses are opening up, saying #MeToo.
Young actress Gayathri Gupta has shot to fame with the friend role of Sai Pallavi she has done in “Fidaa” movie. While she got acclaim for the short role inside the super successful Sekhar Kammula film, the actress says it isn’t a cakewalk in Telugu Film Industry.
“Earlier when I was offered a film, I’ve clearly stated them that I can’t give any commitments like sleeping with producer/director or having sex with them for this role. While they said there is nothing such, it didn’t go well as time passed. They started telling me that they will offer money for a night. Though I’ve cleared that I don’t want to earn money or fame by losing self-respect, they started forcing me” she reveals, not with a broken heart, but confident that she didn’t bend for any such offers or threats.
She adds, “One day on the pretext of dropping me home, the producer acted as if his car broke-down for real en route home and took me to his house. He tried to pull my clothes and rape me, which I averted and left the place. Later I’ve opted out of that film”.
However, it is the closing line from the actress that stuns anyone. “I fill fight against exploitation, and I feel that the producer tried to force me because some females have already agreed to his demands. So we need to check that as well” she concludes.

Tammareddy Bharadwaja has stirred a hornet’s nest. Talking to media in Vizag on the sidelines of the Best Short Film Contest 2017, Tammareddy opined that AP government is not interested in development of film industry in the new state of Andhra Pradesh.
When media questioned him about Vizag being the film hub of AP, he said, “Your government seems to be not interested. It is not at all bothered about film development here. When they feel there is our need, then we will tell the government what is required to set up. As of now, Telugu film industry is quite happy being in Hyderabad. Right now, we don’t need AP government and so AP government don’t want us.”
Tammareddy’s comments are not going down well with the leaders of AP including Minister Ganta Srinivasa Rao who had vowed to make Vizag as the Film Hub.
AP leaders are of the opinion that the new state government is quite busy with several important issues such as building a world-class capital city Amaravati, construction of Polavaram National Irrigation Project, Special Railway Zone to Visakhapatnam and a lot more such as investments from MNCs, employment to youth before concentrating on the film development.
