Pawan’s Vacation With Three Kids and Wife!
Pawan Kalyan is the name many are waiting to see on the political screen from a long time while he’s doing only cameos. And now, an interesting thing regarding Janasena president is being discussed in film circles which are related to his personal vacations.
Generally, Pawan doesn’t take his children and wife to movie shoots which happen abroad. But this time, when he flew to Sofia, the capital city of Bulgaria, his plans are changed altogether. Accompanied by his wife Anna Lezhenova, son Akira, daughters Adya and Polena, Pawan Kalyan went to Bulgaria.
While he’s shooting for songs of his upcoming film under Trivikram’s direction, where he’s romancing Keerthi Suresh, his wife and kids are said to be enjoying the scenic locales of Eastern Europe. During the evenings, Pawan is said to be accompanying his children to shopping and dinners and had a great gala time in Bulgaria for a week.
At this time, everyone wondered why such a family vacation alongside a film shoot. Actually, Pawan wants to mix his personal life with film schedules because from next year he wants to stay busy with political assignments. Until the general elections get completed, maybe he won’t find time to entertain his wife and kids through vacations. For that reason, he’s said to be taking them along to foreign trips and shoot.
Other day Pawan and his family returned from Bulgaria as Pawan want to look into Uddanam Kidney issue with Harvard University medical team set to visit the Uddanam village. Later he will meet AP CM Naidu and may fly to Bulgaria again for another shoot, say sources.

RGV Has Begun War With KCR!
It looks like maverick filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma is fighting for his ‘shisyas’ in his own way, as the drug scandal has tinkered popularity & disturbed families of director Puri Jagannadh, Subbaraju, Charmme Kaur and others.
Apart from confronting SIT and DGP Akun Sabarwal, RGV has begun war in the name of Telangana Chief Minister KCR. Hitting at SIT officials for diverting media attention towards film people, RGV questioned -‘Are there no much bigger people being shielded like many are saying now?’
The sensational director made an attempt to cloud the case by saying it’s damaging the reputation of Hyderabad city and CM KCR rest of the citizens in India. RGV has been repeatedly striking SIT for sensationalizing people from film industry. On other hand, reports emerged that his name also popped up in the drugs scandal. But, it’s still not clear.
Read what RGV posted on his Facebook, in a series of tweets:
‘More than anything else drug case is damaging Hyderabad reputation. Mumbai ppl are asking me they never knew Hyderabad is so bad. I hope making a national drama of targeting a few individuals is really worth spoiling reputation of entire Telangana state. Many saying nothing will come out of this enquiry of film people by Akun Sabarwal’s SIT but whatever might come out as end result,I hope it’s worth giving so much bad name to Telangana state ..People in Mumbai are thinking Telangana is worse than Punjab ..Sad. Mumbai people admired KCR like anything and now they are shocked that what doesn’t happen even in Bollywood and also Mumbai and Punjab schools is happening in TRS government in Hyderabad schools ..I wish as a proud citizen of Hyderabad that responsible people like Akun Sabarwal and Chandravadan will save reputation of KCR and Telangana state in the eyes of rest of india.. I am sincierely hoping their SIT will set the wrong things in the right way. Sum total feeling I got from Mumbai people is how very much high Rajamouli elevated the telugu states prestige in entire india with Baahubali Akun Sabarwal and team brought it that much down in the eyes of entire India. Mumbai people thought the TRS government is most capable and now they are shocked that unlike in any schools in any part of entire india even schools in hyderabad have drugs ..I wish SIT will SET It RIGHT. Mumba people so far only heard good and great things about Telangana state and TRS and KCR and now thanks to SIT they are hearing only @..I request SIT to SET RIGHT the reputation of Hyderabad and TRS and above all KCR. Bahubali 2 is highest reputation of Tel State Drug scam is lowest reputation of Tel state.’

NTR Sets 100 Crs Target?
It is undeniable that NTR’s upcoming film ‘Jai Lava Kusa’ has huge buzz in market. Can the film touch the Rs 100 crore mark with its pre-release business?
Baahubali was the first film to do Rs 100 crore business ahead of its release. Pawan Kalyan with Sardaar, Megastar with Khaidi No.150, Allu Arjun with DJ and Mahesh Babu with Spyder have also breached the new club, which has become a measure for stardom in the discussions of fan clubs. Prabhas’s Saaho is expected to do more than Rs 200 crore business. NTR and Ram Charan are the only stars remained to touch the 100 crore mark and join the ranks of their contemporaries.
Although Bobby is not a big director, NTR’s stardom and the rousing ‘Jai teaser’ helped Jai Lava Kusa to become a hot cake in trade. Going by trade reports, better offers are coming for JLK than Spyder in mass dominated areas and Godavari districts. JLK’s theatrical rights in the Telugu states alone are being valued at around Rs 70 crore.
NTR has huge market in Karnataka and overseas as well so makers are expecting good deals from these two key areas, about 20 crore. The NTR starrer may not go past the Rs 100 crore mark just with the worldwide theatrical rights but when we include the satellite, dubbing, audio and digital rights, it may not be difficult for the film to breach the milestone.
September 21 is the date when Jai, Lava and Kusa will storm theatres.
Hero’s Father Fires On Director Of Son’s Flop Film
Bollywood hero Ranbir Kapoor may have been silent at the failure of his latest release ‘Jagga Jasoos’, but his very-vocal father Rishi Kapoor isn’t. He has lashed out at the film’s director Anurag Basu, calling him an ‘irresponsible director’.
In an interview, Rishi opined that the result would have been different had the film been trimmed by 20 minutes. “He’s such an irresponsible director that he doesn’t complete the film on time, and won’t care for opinion of even his producers. The film was supposed to release three times in the past two years, but it kept getting delayed,” the veteran actor said unabashedly.
Ranbir was also the co-producer of the film so he not just scored a flop and lost three years of his valuable time but also lost big chunk of money. Rishi Kapoor alleged that the director hasn’t showed the final copy to his son Ranbir, who was a co-producer until a day ahead of the film’s release.
“You may be the biggest director in the world but nobody would like to work with you if you are irresponsible,” he added.
Jagga Jasoo was in production for three years and its release had been postponed three times before it finally hit screens on 14th July. The film has already been declared by trade experts as one of the biggest disasters.
Kajal’s Reaction After Her Manager Arrested
Following the arrest of her PR manager Ronnie, popular South Indian actress Kajal Aggarwal offered a public clarification, strongly condemned and denied any links to the ongoing drugs case.
After Kajal’s manager was nabbed by SIT, media began to focus on the actress and had put her in many speculations. Everyone thought that she too would be questioned, after Ronnie’s examination is finished. But, as they rumors were growing in large number, Kajal has decided to make it clear for everyone and she denied her part/hand in the drugs scandal.
Responding through Twitter, Kajal wrote that she is ‘absolutely shocked and appalled about the whole incident with Ronnie’ and she is in zero support of this.
‘Having said that, just because I care for people who run errands for me does not imply that I can control their personal lives and choices,’ Kajal added by iterating that she shares an extremely professional and cordial relationship with Ronnie.
On Monday, Manager Ronnie was taken into custody by SIT officials after huge amount of Marijuana (drug) was seized from his residence in Hyderabad. This development has come down as a big shock for his employer and actress Kajal Aggarwal.
