We often come across references of Pawan Kalyan and Mahesh Babu, arguably the Top 2 stars of Telugu cinema, in Telugu films. However, never have we seen the strategical use of these two stars’ stardom in a film starring a noted hero.

Sampath Nandi, who has used plethora of Pawan Kalyan’s references in his last film, ‘Bengal Tiger’ starring Ravi Teja, has continued his PK worshiping acts by naming his new film starring Gopichand as ‘Gautam Nanda’, which is assumed to be inspired from Pawan’s screen name in his industry hit film, Attharintiki Daredi. It has now come out that Nandi is not just using Pawan but Mahesh’s name also in his film.

The director himself has reportedly divulged that the surname of his protagonist in ‘Gautam Nanda’ is ‘Ghattamaneni’, which is the real life surname of Mahesh babu. He reasoned that as the hero in his film plays a rich and royal young man, he couldn’t have thought of a better surname than ‘Ghattamaneni’.

Fans of Mahesh will be pleased with the elevation given by Sampath Nandi for Mahesh’s surname. No director has floored fans of both Mahesh and Pawan in such manner in the past. Isn’t this called ‘Two birds with one shot’?

Over-enthusiastic section of Television media has crossed all its limits in covering director Puri Jagannadh story over his alleged involvement in drugs case. If this is not enough, a few TV channels have been airing video footage of Puri socialising with a guy, dancing with a guy who had been circled and projected as drug peddler Kelvin.

However, in a major blow to the media, the guy in question has appealed to media that his name is Nagababu and he stays in Bangalore. Asking media to not name him as Kelvin, Nagababu said to have come forwarded to provide necessary proofs for his identity including his identity proof, email id, Facebook username etc.

If this guy was true, media couldn’t correct its mistake in no way and no rejoinder or any sort of compensation would equate the loss and mental agony the person has gone through. In run upto sensationalism, a section of media seems to have taken its ethics, morals for granted in order to earn the TRPs.

It’s high-time, it should maintain some composure and verify facts twice before airing its stories given that the issue is so sensitive and expected to have a drastic impact on people associated with the news.

Business equations work on two things, investment and profit. Some businesses however also depend on emotion and regional connect too. The likes of sports teams are one such example, but we have some equations worrying few Telugu cinema lovers now.

Kerala Blasters FC is a football team that plays in Indian Football League, while Tamil Thailavas play in the Pro-Kabaddi tournament. Both these being quite popular tournaments many Telugu fans look forward to Telugu teams playing them. Surprisingly both the above said teams are also owned by Telugu people only.

Senior Telugu heroes Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna, along with Allu Arvind and industrialist Nimmagadda Prasad, cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar have earlier acquired Kerala Blaster football team. With Ram Charan and Allu Arjun joining them, they have now grabbed Tamil Thailavas team that plays Pro-Kabaddi.

As Telugu teams are not available to buy or acquire, these star mega heroes mostly showing interest in neighbourhood teams. But when they cheer up for their business investment, they are morally standing against Telugu pride, which is not being liked by some Telugu guys.

Anyway, mega fans want everyone to look these business investments as purely business and might be a passion to own sports clubs, but not something related to Telugu pride. Moreover, as Indians, we could live and do business anywhere in India. Also, we should feel proud that Telugu people are showing their power in other states as well, say fans.

Sometime back there used to be one charming interviewer on a popular Telugu news channel who enjoyed a cult following. His way of posing questions with a rather smiling face and bringing out the best from the participants made his interviews special.

Cut to present, some National Television anchors who used to question like as if they were interrogating some criminals, got huge popularity across the nation. Imitating them, few Telugu journalists have turned interviewers on YouTube and started imitating the interrogating style. Looking at the growing fan-base of these interviewers/anchors, now another set of hosts have arrived.

These new interviewers are just trying to be as sadistic as possible in the name of straight forward talk and ridiculing the participant/guest in the worst way. All this is because the interviewer wants all the attention on YouTube for his so called stylish questioning. But the sole purpose of an interview is to bring best from the guest know?

If this is one side of the coin, there are some celebs on other side who want the interviewer to pose such sadistic questions and cry for them. Again, the bottom line is the same, the celebrity also wants huge attention on YouTube and millions of hits for that interview. Pchh!!
