Anushka’s Touch Up Cost Is Too Huge
A rumor came out in 2013, it turned news in 2014, bigger news in 2015, but it’s 2017 now and the film is yet to see the light. Anushka Shetty has been working on her next film titled Bhagmati from a long time. This periodic drama directed by Ashok of Pilla Zamindar fame will be her first release after Baahubali: The Conclusion.
Owing to the tough post-production work, including a huge dose of VFX work, the film is said to be delayed. We hear that a top VFX studio based in Mumbai has been overlooking the graphics work, which mainly includes correcting Anushka’s face and physique.
This hot heroine has been out of shape ever since she starred in Size Zero. As she looked extremely fat in some of the episodes and with nothing much to do, the makers are said to have allotted a budget of Rs 5 crores for correcting those scenes using digital techniques.
While this extra job to correct Anushka turned out to be an expensive process, the makers are not in a mood to compromise on the quality. As Bhagmati has been aimed for a Sankranthi 2018 release, UV creations is working hard to bring out the best product.

TDP Splits Into Anti Revanth & Pro Revanth Groups
TDP Telangana unit Working President A Revanth Reddy’s reported decision to switch loyalties to Congress stirred a political storm within the yellow party .
The Telugu Desam split vertically into two groups – ‘Anti Revanth and Pro Revanth.’ The anti revanth group was headed by politburo member Mothkupalli Narasimhulu.
Mothkupalli has been opposing Revanth proposal to sail the TDP along with Congress in the next elections. The politburo member was demanding party high command joining hands with TRS only.
Senior leaders R Prakash Reddy, R Chandrasekhar Reddy, Chada Suresh Reddy, M Amarnath Babu and MLA S Venkata Veeriah strongly condemned Revanth’s anti party activities. The other leaders – V Narendar Reddy, K Dayakar Reddy and E Ramana were supporting Revanth.
On the insistence of the anti Revanth group, the party high command would take disciplinary action against Revanth in a week or ten days. Before that, the party is mulling to serve a show cause notice on the leader. Giving a clear indication that action against Revanth is imminent, Ramana in a statement warned the leaders from state to village level not to make anti party comments as TDP Chief already decided to discuss poll alliances with other parties only during the elections.

Currently on a break, touring Europe with this entourage, NTR is likely to start his next during the first quarter of 2018, which will be directed by Trivikram. Buzz has that he has also agreed to another project, after getting impressed with director Vikram K Kumar’s latest script.
Director of Manam and 24, Vikram Kumar, is currently busy with Akhil’s Hello which is slated for December release this year. He will soon meet NTR and discuss the possibilities of taking off the project as their schedules got jam-packed though story got approved. Rumors are coming out that as Allu Arjun want to work with Linguswamy after ‘Na Peru Surya’, and suggested many changes to Vikram’s script, the director has landed the same story in NTR’s lap. Liking the story, also the Nandamuri hero agreed to work simultaneously on two projects.
Though NTR agreed to work on a simultaneous project earlier with Koratala Siva, from Feb, we hear that the delay of Bharat Anu Nenu is asking him to choose Vikram’s film. For now, all these speculations are just rumors and wait for official confirmation.
What’s wrong in TDP leader touching KCR feet?
Within hours after making serious comments against Seemandhra Telugu Desam Party counterparts for succumbing to Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, Telangana TDP leader A Revanth Reddy started receiving brickbats.
The strong criticism against Revanth was from Paritala Sriram, son of Andhra minister Paritala Sunitha, whose marriage triggered all the trouble in the Telangana TDP. In his posting on his Facebook page, Sriram targeted Revanth for being too ambitious to become the chief minister and blaming the party leaders from Seemandhra.
“KCR is a good old friend of our family. When he came to my marriage and blessed me, I touched his feet. What’s wrong in it? Why do you view even a marriage in political angle? Didn’t you ever invite leaders of rival parties to weddings and other functions in your family? Didn’t you ever go the weddings of other party leaders?” he asked.
Sriram alleged that for the last one year, Revanth had been systematically trying to build up an anti-TRS forum by joining hands with the Congress party and when everything came under his control, he was now finding excuses to desert the TDP.
“You are creating an impression the Congress party is stronger than the TDP in Telangana,” he said.
Another Telangana TDP leader and party general secretary Aravind Kumar Goud also found fault with Revanth Reddy for making allegations against Andhra TDP leaders in a bid to cover up his attempts to join the Congress party.
“Nothing will happen to the TDP, even if Revanth leaves. It continues to remain a strong political party,” Goud said.
Lokesh doesn’t believe Revanth leaving TDP!
Andhra Pradesh IT minister and chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu’s son Nara Lokesh is also the national general secretary of the Telugu Desam Party.
Yet, he does not seem to have any idea of his party MLA in Telangana A Revanth Reddy making attempts to leave the TDP.
He doesn’t believe the reports that the Telangana TDP working president had meetings with top leaders of the Congress party in Delhi.
“No, these reports are not correct. I don’t believe Revanth has any plans to quit the TDP and join the Congress. He has never mentioned to me that he has intentions to leave the TDP,” Lokesh told media on Wednesday.
Asked about Revanth’s meetings with the Congress high command in Delhi, Lokesh said the Telangana TDP leader told him that he had gone to Delhi to have a meeting with a lawyer.
“Don’t ask my reactions on speculative reports,” he advised media persons.
It clearly shows lack of political maturity for Lokesh. No leader would announce well in advance that he would be quitting his party to join the rival party.
Even Kurnool MP Butta Renuka still says she is a YSR Congress party MP, though she openly met Naidu and extended her support to the TDP government.
In fact, Revanth has given enough hints that he would be quitting the TDP, as he made some serious comments against the Seemandhra TDP leaders and their corrupt deals with the TRS government in Telangana. He even declared that the TDP had no future in Telangana.
What more is required for Lokesh to understand Revanth’s strategy?
