To make the government realise its political responsibility and to study and understand problems at the root level, Janasena Party president Pawan Kalyan has decided to take up a whirlwind tour in Andhra Pradesh and also Telangana starting from tomorrow.

Embarking on a campaign titled “Chalo Re, Chalo Re Chal”, Pawan Kalan claimed that it is his responsibility to console the families of those students who have committed suicide in Osmania University and those families who lost their loved ones in Krishna District boating accident. He confirms, “My responsibility is moral”.

He also stated that he’s also responsible for these deaths of farmers, atrocities on women and other tragic incidents, but not accountable for them. “Enough is enough. Those in power are accountable for these. As a human and Janasena Chief, I’m going to out to hold the government accountable”.

This could be read as an answer to YSR Congress, saying that he should not be blamed and also an indication that he will breathe fire on Telugudesam party from tomorrow.

“I may succeed or not, but I’m setting out from tomorrow to make sure that masses who have become victims of crimes will get their justice,” he said, demanding transparency.

At the same time, Pawan also released a song titled Chalo Re, Chalo Re Chal, which is said to be inspired by Gunturu Seshendra Sharma’s poetry. However the song starts with the tune composed for ‘Jalsa’ of same lyrics and then includes Pawan’s speeches and Trivikram’s words too.

Actor Vishal’s nomination papers for the RK Nagar bypoll was rejected on Tuesday.

Vishal, who is the President of the Tamil Film Producers Council and is the General Secretary of Nadigar Sangam had filed his nomination papers on Monday.

According to reports, his nomination papers were rejected as two of his proposers had said that it was not their signature.

Vishal is the second high-profile candidate whose nomination papers were rejected.

Earlier during the day, former TN CM’s J Jayalalithaa’s niece Deepa’s nomination was also rejected.

It was only on Monday that the film director and producer Cheran and few other TFPC members had conducted a sit-in protest inside the Producers Council office premises.

They had asked Vishal to step down from the post of TFPC President, if he was contesting in the RK Nagar bypoll.

From last few weeks, hero Sai Dharam Tej is in the news all over for his “Jawaan” that released last Friday. While the talk about this film, this mega hero’s take on Gangleader remake, his chemistry with other mega heroes, his satires on affairs are big news, here is another one people are discussing.

Other day at an event that took place in Prasad Labs, actually Sai Dharam Tej appeared in a Kurta and plain pant. Looking at this, one could easily guess that these days he’s appearing in similar costume most of the time.

Whether it is at Jawan special screening at Sri Ramulu theatre or some other interviews, or interacting with college students at various towns like Eluru, he appeared in similar Kurtas. When this costume is not related to the character he played inside Jawaan movie, what could be the motive behind wearing it? is the question now.

Some say he’s following his uncle Pawan Kalyan and cousin Ram Charan who is also appearing in similar Kurtas these days. That looks like all mega heroes are trying to make a mark with similar appearances.

Hailing from the same mega family, both the star heroes Ram Charan and his cousin Allu Arjun are having this unique habit of picking each other’s heroines for their upcoming films.

Sometimes Charan picked the one who acted with Bunny and vice versa, and they did it again now. If we have a look at the way these two worked with the same heroines in the recent times, it goes this way.

Both were seen romancing Kajal Agarwal in 2009 for Magadheera and Arya 2 respectively. While Charan did it first, he has also done three more movies with this Mumbai beauty later. And in 2011, both have shared the screen with milky siren Tamanna Bhatia. After Stylish Star did Badrinath with her, Mega Powerstar picked her for Rachha. Then we have Amala Paul working with Cherry in Naayak and picked by Bunny for Iddarammayilatho.

Similarly, Shruti Haasan first worked in Yevadu and then starred in Race Gurram. There came another spicy siren Rakul Preet Kaur, who starred in Charan’s Bruce Lee and then joined Bunny’s Sarrainodu. Then for his upcoming film Rangasthalam 1985, Charan picked Samantha after a lot of consultations. Earlier this top starlet worked with Allu Arjun in 2015 release S/o Satyamurthy.

Meanwhile, Kajal, Tamanna, Shruti Haasan and Samantha also romanced another top mega hero Pawan Kalyan as well.

Latest update is that Bunny’s Naa Peru Surya heroine Anu Emmanuel is being considered as a lead girl for Ram Charan’s next that will have Boyapati Seenu in the director’s seat. Also, Anu is currently another lead in Agnathavasi too. Let’s wait for the official confirmation.

Even though the teaser, trailer, songs and other content of the Varun Tej-starrer Tholi Prema is due, the film’s pre-release business numbers are shocking the trade. Directed by newcomer Venky, the film’s theatrical rights have fetched a handsome Rs 18.13 Crore.

Producer-distributor Dil Raju acquired the entire theatrical rights of the film. This is good pre-release deal for Varun Tej’s film.

Varun’s last film Fidaa is a double blockbuster. Produced by Dil Raju himself, Fidaa went onto gross 90 Crore i.e a share of 48 Crore. So, naturally, Raju has come forward to offer Rs 18.13 Crore for Tholi Prema.

Meanwhile, producer BVSN Prasad has already pocketed fancy amount through the satellite rights. Gemini has bought the film’s TV rights. We hear that the film’s audio rights too got good money. Prasad is laughing all the way to the bank.

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.
