Reason For Heavy Rains? Ask Naidu!
For several years, Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu has been carrying a stigma: that whenever he comes to power, he brings drought along with him.
His detractors, particularly YSR Congress party, has been alleging that Naidu is an iron leg insofar as rains are concerned and as long as he is in power, rains play truant in the state. This was the case in her earlier stints and in the last three years, too, AP has been experiencing only deficit rainfall.
But this year, there are copious rains in the state. For the first time, Rayalaseema region and particularly perennially drought-prone Anantapur district has received excess rainfall and floods. Naturally, it has put Naidu on cloud nine. And he has now started finding reasons for these rains.
He attributed the present heavy rains in the state to his “prayers” to Godavari and Krishna rivers in the name of “Jala Siriki Haarathi” programme.
Whichever river or water body Naidu is visiting, he is offering “haarathi” to the water amidst Vedic hymns. And he has also asked all his party leaders to perform pujas to the rivers and tanks.
“Because of this Jala Siriki Haarathi programme, the Rain God is pleased and has blessed us with copious rains,” Naidu reasoned.
His son Nara Lokesh also supported the theory and called upon the party leaders to perform pujas to all the water bodies, so that there is no death of water for drinking and irrigation.
What an idea!
Does Roja Fit Into LP’s Role?
With ace film make Ram Gopal Varma not ruling out the possibility of actress-turned-MLA R K Roja playing a role in his forthcoming film on legendary actor and former chief minister N T Rama Rao, speculations are flying thick and high that she might be picked up for the role of Nandamuri Lakshmi Parvathi.
Though Varma is yet to announce the cast for his film “Lakshmi’s NTR” being produced by YSR Congress party in-charge for Palamaner constituency Rakesh Reddy, speculations about Roja’s role are doing rounds in the media circles. If Roja accepts Varma’s offer, she would not compromise on any other smaller role.
Responding to Varma’s offer, Roja said that she has no qualms in acting in the film if she was provided a meaty role.
She reportedly said that she had no idea for which character Varma was considering her and that she would take the final call after meeting him.
As a matter of fact, there is hardly any role for a female character in NTR’s life, except that of Lakshmi Parvathi.
The only other role of some importance one could visualise in his life is that of Daggubati Purandeshwari, who was also instrumental in the coup of the family members against NTR.
But Roja may not accept the role of Purandeshwari. Since the major character is that of Lakshmi Parvathi, the firebrand YSRC MLA may do only this role. And as of now, one cannot visualise any other actress who can fit into LP’s role, except Roja.
The question is whether Roja will be able to do the film. The next few months would be very crucial for her, as she has to retain her hold over Nagari constituency and work hard if she wants to win the seat again.
If she spends several months in acting in films, she may not be able to do justice to the constituency. Moreover, one doubts how far the film would help her politically. Who knows it might even turn counter-productive!
Director Teja Hits Jackpot!
One commercial success has changed the fate of director Teja, who was struggling to convince heroes till a year ago.
The blockbuster result of Rana and Kajal starrer “Nene Raju Nene Mantri” has put him in limelight. He is now getting prestigious offers from big stars as well as senior stars.
Teja is now all set to direct Venkatesh, who has been waiting to commence an interesting movie. The untitled film will begin its regular shoot in November.
Teja has already commenced pre-production for this movie as he has recorded couple of songs with music director Anup Rubens. Rana will be playing a guest role in this, say sources.
On the other hand, Teja’s name has already been confirmed as the director for N T Ramarao’s biopic that will be produced by Nandamuri Balakrishna. The biopic will be launched on May 28th next year on the occasion of NTR’s birth anniversary.
All in all, Teja, who just recently celebrated his 50th birthday, is back in demand. His career is flourishing like anything.
