Train Accidents : Suresh Prabhu offers to Resign; PM asks him to Wait

Share

The Union Minister for Railways, Suresh Prabhu on Wednesday offered to resign from his post by taking “moral responsibility” for the recent rail accidents in Uttar Pradesh.

I met the Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi taking full moral responsibility. Hon’ble PM has asked me to wait. I am extremely pained by the unfortunate accidents, injuries to passengers and loss of precious lives. It has caused me deep anguish,” Suresh Prabhu, who’s elected for Rajya Sabha from Andhra Pradesh, tweeted.

The deaths of dozens of people when Kalinga-Utkal express derailed out of tracks in Muzzafaragar district, Uttar Pradesh last week triggered Suresh to tender his resignation, but PM Narendra Modi asked him to wait. After Suresh Prabhu was appointed as Union Minister for Railways, six major rail accidents took place in various places of India.

He further tweeted, ‘In less than three years as Minister, I have devoted my blood and sweat for the betterment of the Railways. Undr leadership of PM, tried 2 overcome decades of neglect thru systemic reforms in all areas leading 2 unprecedented investment& milestones. New India envisioned by PM deserves a Rlys which is efficient and modern. I promise that is the path, on which Rlys is progressing now. I am extremely pained by the unfortunate accidents, injuries to passengers and loss of precious lives. It has caused me deep anguish

Prabhu, who resigned to Shiv Sena in November 2014, joined BJP and he has been continuously winning the praise for his performance as Railway Minister. In the Railway budget 2015-16, he focused completely on facilities rather than introducing any trains.

In the video footage, she was escorted by a lady superintendent of that jail.

Also, Roopa alleged that prison authorities have misinformed Home Minister by providing fabricated information about the supposed special treatment to VK Sasikala.

And later, a camp of 18 MLAs’ led by TTV Dinakaran wrote a letter to state governor Vidyasagar Rao telling that have no confidence in CM Palaniswamy and withdrawing support to him.

Young hero Sharwanand has made interesting comments when he stated that he is jealous of Vijay Devarakonda. Sharwa elaborated saying that he was supposed to act in the film Arjun Reddy but he ‘missed’ it while Vijay ‘grabbed’ it. “I’m jealous of Vijay Devarakonda. I was supposed to do this film,” said Sharwanand. He said that the film is going to show a pure love story.

Sharwa added that he could see ‘blood’ in the eyes of the whole team who put their sweat and blood for the film. Sharwa said that he knows Sundeep from the time he was working with Kranthi Madhav (for Malli Malli Idi Rani Roju). On parting note, Sharwa insists director Sundeep to work with him for his next film.

However, Vijay’s over-the-top comments during the event have not gone down well with several media persons and a few others. Is Sharwa really jealous of Vijay? For that we need to wait and see the result of the film.

EC Ordered Nandyal Police To Book YS Jagan

Share

More trouble is waiting for Opposition leader YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. The Election Commission has ordered the police of Nandyal to lodge a case against YSRCP president over his “shoot Chandrababu” and “hang Chandrababu” remarks during Nandyal by-poll campaign.

The EC felt that Jagan’s personal remarks were “provoking” and against the election code and hence, the Chief Election Commissioner has ordered the local police to book Jagan.

Jagan’s vicious verbal diatribes against CM Chandrababu Naidu during public meeting has gone overboard where he said “there is noting wrong in shooting Chandrababu publicly”. If this is not enough, Jagan continued saying “nothing wrong in hanging Chandrababu”. TDP leaders raised severe objections to these statements of Jagan and complained the same to the EC.

After thoroughly probing the matter, the EC has decided to book Jagan under the law. However, cases and jail are new to Jagan Mohan Reddy. So, it needs to be seen how Jagan would take it.

Never Happened Even for Kabali & Baahubali

Share

Thala Ajith enjoys huge fan base across Tamil Nadu and circles. The actor has been slowly expanding his market to Tollywood and some of his recent movies raked decent figures.

The actor has been never spotted promoting his movies and his latest film Vivegam has been carrying huge buzz all over. The actor like every film preferred to stay calm and no audio release event or a pre-release event took place. Still Vivegam mania has been storming the South Indian states.

The pre-bookings have been exceptional and the film is gearing up for a massive release in Tamil Nadu. 300 shows are being planned in Chennai alone which never happened even for Kabali and Baahubali. A multiplex named ‘Mayajal’ is said to be screening 65 shows on first day, which is a record.

Along with this, the film is also getting a wide release across Telugu speaking states. In Malayalam, Vivegam will release in over 30 screens and Karnataka too is said to get a huge occupancy for Vivegam which has been slated for Thursday release.

This Thursday is finally a big day for Vivegam and the movie is expected to take the box-office by storm. Siva directed the movie and Kajal played the female lead.

Paisa Vasool And Big Boss Pushes Jr NTR

Share

As everyone is waiting with bated breath for the trailer of Jr NTR’s latest movie “Jai Lava Kusa”, the makers confirmed that on audio launch the trailer will be released as usual. But when is the audio launch actually happening to unveil the music composed by Devi Sri Prasad for his KS Ravindra directorial?

In fact, September 1st is the fixed date for Jai Lava Kusa and then now the date got moved to September 3rd, but not even 2nd which happens to be dad Nandamuri Hari Krishna’s birthday. There are a couple of interesting reasons behind this pushing of Jr NTR’s event to a new date.

Firstly on September 1st, Paisa Vasool movie is hitting cinemas. Already NTR has enough friction with Balayya for reasons unknown and now planning an event on the same day of Balayya’s latest release will not go well. For that reason, September 1st is ruled out.

Coming to September 2nd, it happens to be a Saturday and usually these days NTR should wear the role of television anchor on that to host his super successful stint, Big Boss. This program will be aired with NTR on Saturdays and Sundays, but the entire shoot will happen on Saturday itself. So now, despite Sept 2nd being Hari Krishna’s birthday, NTR decided to honor the Big Boss commitment and celebrate the audio launch of Jai Lava Kusa next day, on September 3rd.

Produced by his brother Kalyan Ram, currently, NTR is dancing to the tunes of DSP at a special erected set in Pune where his co-star Rashi Khanna is flaunting her hotness and dancing skills.

Here Is Why Mahesh Is So Special

Share

There have been rumors in film circles that Mahesh Babu was a bit annoyed with the slow making of director AR Murugadoss and that the duo had developed differences over the course of making SPYder. Well, the director himself has thrashed these rumors and sung praises of the support given by Mahesh.

‘I have worked with so many superstars, and I can’t compare Mahesh’s working style with any of those. I have traveled with him for over an year, and I firmly say that I haven’t seen such a star hero. His support is the reason why SPYder shaped up so well.

He is a directors’ actor. We have shot SPYder in the night times for about 80 days, and he did never complain even once. Once we locked the script, he never involved in my work. Since we shot the film in Telugu and Tamil simultaneously, it took extra effort, we had to go for number of takes etc. No other superstar in India would have put so much effort that Mahesh put for SPYder.

He gave me complete freedom on adding new scenes or improving the already canned scenes if I wasn’t satisfied with the output. He used to say tat he would move on to his next film only after I assure him on the completion of SPYder. I was moved by his commitment. Now, when I watch the output, I can’t imagine any actor other than Mahesh in SPYder,’ Murugadoss said in an interview.

SPYder is slated to hit screens on September 27.

Director Shocked With His Movie Result

Share

Director Mahi V Raghav, who made his debut with the Last Friday release, ‘Anando Brahma’, confessed that he was shocked with the result of his film. It was a pleasing shock nonetheless.

In a recent interview, he looked highly elated to disclose that his debut film, ‘Anando Brama’ broke even in just three days. He added that he was expecting the film to do well but that he was pleasantly shocked to see such euphoric response from audiences.

“We were quite surprised with our film’s result. We had confidence on hitting bull’s eye, but we didn’t expect the film to break even in just 3 days. You know not many films could achieve such feats,” the director said with a sense of satisfaction and a little pride.

He credited the blend of horror and comedy besides the performances of comedians in the film for the success of Anando Brahma. The director revealed to have been flooded with remake offers from neighboring industries. He added that he is relishing his film’s success at the moment and that he was in no hurry to take a call on whether to go with the remake or not.

Drama Around Kissing Posters

Share

Ahead of the release of Vijay Devarakonda’s “Arjun Reddy”, people can see the kissing posters of the lead actors occupying every nook and corner of the two Telugu states, a promotional tool that ignited a huge controversy.

A few days ago, senior Congress leader VH tore down the kissing poster of Arjun Reddy from an RTC bus, and vehemently rebuked the makers for allegedly resorting to cheap publicity gimmicks. Later, a few women’s organizations too filed complaints against makers of Arjun Reddy for using the kissing posters for publicity. They alleged that the ‘obscene’ posters are imparting the foreign culture among youth.

Heeding to the demands of women’s organizations, makers of Arjun Reddy have now decided to remove all those posters in the twin Telugu states. It may not make much difference as the posters have already grabbed the targeted eyeballs ahead of the film’s release on 25th August.

Nandyal Polling: Heavy Crowd Scaring Jagan!

Share

The highest voter turnout (so far) in Nandyal by-election is allegedly scaring Opposition leader YS Jagan Mohan Reddy who had been camping and campaigning for his party in a single constitution for over 10 days. The large crowds standing in queues since morning is witnessed all over in Nandyal.

In many areas the voting percentage recorded has surpassed 50 percent shocking even the political pundits. Political analysts opine that the high turnout could be “advantage” for the ruling party.

Jagan has been the campaign face of YSRCP in Nandyal. Although second rung leaders such as Roja were seen once in a while, it was Jagan who totally shouldered the campaign.

Since Nandyal by-poll is considered as semi-final ahead of general elections in 2019 and a referendum to Chandrababu Naidu-led TDP’s 3-year ruling, this is equally crucial for YSRCP and Jagan as this election would seal the fate of 2019
