Why Too Much Exposing For Promotions?

Share

Young heroines going completely ravishing with their looks at movie promotional events became a routine trend these days. Whether it is Samantha or Rakul to any newcomer heroine, their fashion statement in spicy attire is turning all the heads at such events.

Recently we have seen how Pooja Hegde had wooed everyone with her glamorous oomph factor at DJ Duvvada Jagannadham promotions. While all other heroines will follow the same suite, here comes a shocker from a senior heroine like Sridevi. Talking to a TV channel, recently Sridevi blasted Rajamouli and Co for revealing the insider details about the Sivagami role offered to her. But what the caught the attention of people is something else.

The main reason behind Sridevi appearing in TV channels is to talk about her upcoming release “Mom” where she acted in the lead role of a mother who’s on revenge mode. Promoting a film with such content, it is her cleavage show that got all the attention. Some dare to ask, why too much exposing for promotions of this film? Of course, it’s Sridevi’s personal choice to decide on the skin show she wants to do for promotions or anywhere else, but frankly, there should be some scope for ‘dignity’ as well, feel film lovers.

Anyway, with skin show at 53, Sridevi is still giving a run for young heroines. And her blasting of Rajamouli has surely won the attention she needed. Mom is hitting cinemas on July 7th.

Pawan Promises Dil Raju, Conditions Apply

Share

From a long time, ace producer Dil Raju is expressing his dream, the only big one, that he should make a film with Pawan Kalyan at least once. Since the times of Toliprema, Dil Raju distributed almost all the films of Powerstar but never got a chance to produce his movie.

Earlier many times Dil Raju stated that Pawan Kalyan promised a film to him, but that never materialised. As rumours are coming out that the Janasena president will stop working on films after another one, a worried Raju rushed to the sets of Trivikram’s movie to catch up with Powerstar.

“Recently I’ve met him on Trivikram’s movie set. Pawan Kalyan told me, ‘Come up with a script, that’s it. If the story is suitable then I’ve no qualms to start a project in your production’. So I’m looking forward to directors and also stories, which suite Pawan” said Dil Raju, talking about his film with the matinee idol.

Though the producer of National Award winning Satamanam Bhavati got such promise from Pawan Kalyan many times, we hear that the actor is not liking the stories submitted by this star producer for reasons unknown. While Dil Raju is the master of churning out family dramas, somehow he’s missing the secret ingredient that could impress Pawan. Guess he finds that out soon.

Divide Talk Makes Allu Arjun Happy!!

Share

Despite all the confidence on the content, belief on the huge hype and promotion, first day first show talk is going to be the main factor in any film’s success at box office. And that even stuns the top stars of Tollywood.
Superstar Mahesh has revealed many times that he speaks to none if his film flops and confides himself to his house for a couple of days. Some stars like Jr NTR also follow the same pattern. Other stars keep their phone switched off if flop talk or divide talk comes out. But Allu Arjun seems to be way different from what he is, if we have to believe Geetha Arts insiders.

Last Friday’s release “DJ Duvvada Jagannadham” has created a havoc in theatres with its massive release but the film got stunned with a mixed talk from various centres. In such situation, a star hero like Allu Arjun should be tensed and a little disappointed. However, he’s very happy now says a source. Wonder why? Here’s the reason.

From a long time, Allu Arjun is trying to getting into the big A-Star league where stars like Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu, Ram Charan and Jr NTR are showing their hawa. If we look at the Day-1 collections of DJ sans Baahubali collections, the film made pretty close numbers to Chiranjeevi’s Khaidi No 150 (23+ Cr share on Day 1), Pawan’s Katamarayudu (22+ Cr), Jr NTR’s Janata Garage (20+ Cr) which scored above 20 crore share on First Day. Other close competitors are Mahesh’s Srimanthudu (14.5+ Cr) and Ram Charan’s Bruce Lee (12.5+ Cr). Those numbers are highest for those actors irrespective of the hit/flop talk of the movie. And now DJ scored 18+ Crore share on the First Day, making Bunny no less than any of them and much ahead than Mahesh and Charan.

For reaching that stage and scoring such big opening figures, Allu Arjun is said to be very satisfied with his hard work and growing fanbase. He wants to make sure that these openings are secured for his upcoming films as well. That’s why even a Divide Talk made this emerging superstar happy.

Nokia 5, 6 India release might get affected by GST

Share

Having released the entry-level Nokia 3, HMD Global Oy was all set to roll-out the Nokia 5 and the 6 series Android phones in first week of July. But, it seems the company has hit a bump as retail stores are refraining to stock up their inventory with new phones.

The primary reason being the start of the new GST (Goods and Services Tax) reform, which is scheduled to kick off across India on July 1. With just days left before the deadline, most businesses are busy clearing their old stocks, make changes in terms of their financial transaction practices, update their account books and fill several application forms for the new financial year.

Retailers have notified Nokia brand licensee HMD Global that, post July 1, they want to start their business with a clean slate and will only be able to accept new stocks of Nokia phones after the first week of July, India Today reported citing industry sources.

Nokia 5 was scheduled to go up for pre-order on July 7 and the Nokia 6 (exclusively on Amazon India) from July 14. With the delay, there might be a shortage of devices in the third week of July, but the inventory is most likely to be replenished before the end of the month.

Will the prices of Nokia 5 (Rs. 12,899) and Nokia 6 (Rs. 14,999) increase?

No, both the devices will have same MRP as mentioned in the launch event, as HMD Global Oy, had already taken the upcoming GST system into account. Even the Nokia 3’s price-tag of Rs. 9,499 will also remain same.

CPI leader ‘Copies’ Mahesh Babu’s Stunt, Injured

Share

CPI National Leader K Narayana seems inspired by the stunt performed by Mahesh Babu in his blockbuster film Athadu.

Like Mahesh Babu hit the rocky wall with his hand in a fight sequence in the film, the left party leader kicked a wall erected with cement bricks in Visakhapatnam and received injury on his leg.

The CPI organised agitation against government land encroachments in the port city and demolished illegal constructions at some places in the morning.

While participating in the dharna, Narayana kicked the wall for more than 13 times with his right leg. All the bricks fell on his leg suddenly when the wall collapsed. He was immediately shifted to a hospital and provided treatment to the injuries on his leg. Later, he was discharged.

Google Pixel 2 series phones Taimen & Walleye spied; design language, internal hardware details leaked

Share

In April, a rumour surfaced online suggesting Google is working on three 2017-series Pixels phones — 5.0-inch , 5.5-inch and a 6.0-inch plus sizes. Now, it has come to light that the search engine has ditched the mid-size phone and would launch two devices only.

As per reliable sources of XDA Developer Forum, Google will launch a 4.97-inch Pixel code-named Walleye and a 6.0-inch Pixel XL code-named Taimen.

Taimen is expected to have 5.99-inch QHD (2560x1440p) OLED display (made by LG) with thin bezels (very less space between the edge and screen). On the back, it is said to have dual-tone glass and metal finish seen in the 2016-series models. But, the glass will cover only the top-most part, while most of the rear will have metal and fingerprint sensor will be out of glass enclosure.

It is said to come packed with 128GB storage, 4GB RAM, single primary camera on the back with dual-tone LED flash and the Snapdragon 835 octa-core, Qualcomm’s most powerful processor yet.

As far as the smaller Walleye (4.97-inch) is concerned, it is said to have almost the same design language as the last year’s generic 5.0-inch Pixel phone. But the device might be devoid of 3.5mm audio jack port, as Google intends to use the additional space for stereo speakers. It is also expected to sport a full HD display (1920x1080p) and come with Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 octa-core CPU, 4GB RAM and 64GB storage.

India, Portugal launch start-up hub; sign 11 agreement

Share

India and Portugal on Saturday, June 24, launched a joint international startup hub soon after Narendra Modi expressed his amazement that there has been no bilateral Indian prime ministerial visit ever to this European nation that is home to around 70,000 people of Indian origin.

The decision to launch the startup hub was taken during Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa’s visit to India in January this year.

“Portugal has emerged as one of the most vibrant European ecosystems for entrepreneurship,” Modi said during a joint address to the media with Costa, who traces his origin to Goa, after bilateral discussions.

“India too has its own viable startups and industry. The startups here is an exciting space that blends youth, idea, technology, innovation and creativity to generate value and wealth for the benefit of the society,” he said.

Given Goa’s strong cultural and historic connection with Portugal, Modi’s visit, the first leg of his three-nation tour that will also take him to the US and the Netherlands, is significant.

Modi said that it was “surprising for me to know that there had never been a bilateral visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Portugal”.

“However, I take satisfaction in the fact that this is the second summit between India and Portugal within a period of six months,” he said.

Costa visited India in January this year after becoming head of government last year.

“Our economic ties continue to follow an upward trajectory. Bilateral trade has grown 17 per cent last year,” Modi said.

“And, the foreign direct investment from Portugal to India, though small, has doubled during 2016-17. But, there is much more that we can do to increase the flow of goods, services, capital and human resources between our two economies.”

Modi also stressed on people-to-people ties between the two countries saying Costa’s passion for football would help deepen bilateral ties.

An MoU on sports and youth affairs was among nine agreements signed between the two countries after Saturday’s talks.

The other agreements signed are an India-Portugal space alliance, a protocol amending the double taxation avoidance agreement for the avoidance of double taxation and the prevention of fiscal evasion with respect to taxes on income, an MoU on Nano Technology, an MoU on Public Administration and governance reforms, an MoU on cultural cooperation, an MoU on biotechnology, and an MoU on a Portugal-India Business Hub.

Modi also said that both India and Portugal were determined to deepen the cooperation in the fight against terrorism and religious extremism.

Costa thanked the expatriate Indian community’s contribution to Portugal’s economy and society.

Earlier in the day, in a break from protocol, Modi was received at the airport here by Portuguese Foreign Minister Augusto Santos Silva.

Following his official engagements, Modi visited a temple and interacted with the Indian community here before embarking for the US on the second leg of his three-nation tour

Six killed, 31 missing after tourist boat sinks in Colombia

Share

A tourist boat packed with about 160 passengers for the holiday weekend capsized on Sunday on a reservoir near the Colombian city of Medellin, leaving at least six people dead and 31 missing, officials said.

Rescuers including firefighters from nearby cities and air force pilots searched for survivors at the Guatape reservoir where El Almirante ferry sank. A flotilla of recreational boats and jet skis rushed to the scene, pulling people from the boat as it went down and avoiding an even deadlier tragedy.

Dramatic videos circulating on social media show the turquoise and yellow trimmed party boat rocking back and forth as people crawled down from a fourth-floor roof as it sank into the water in a matter of a few minutes.

Loud explosion?

Survivors described hearing a loud explosion near the men’s bathroom that knocked out the power a few minutes after it began its cruise around the giant lake. As water flooded on board, pressure built and people were sucked under by the sinking ship.

“Those on the first and second floors sank immediately,” survivor Lorena Salazar told local media. “All we could do was scream and call for help….it was completely chaotic.”

Margarita Moncada, the head of the disaster response agency in Antioquia state, said that according to a preliminary report 99 people were rescued and another 40 managed to find a way to shore on their own. Speaking to reporters from the reservoir, she said nine people had been killed and around 28 are still missing.

Santos takes stock

But later Sunday President Juan Manuel Santos arrived in Guatape and said 122 people were either rescued or found their way to shore and were in mostly good condition. Six had died and another 31 were missing, he said. The discrepancies in the number of fatalities could not be immediately reconciled.

It’s unclear what caused the boat to sink.

Some people who witnessed the tragedy from the nearby shore said the boat appeared to be overloaded but Santos said it was sailing well below capacity. None of the passengers were wearing a life vest. Complicating the search, there wasn’t even a passenger list.

“Nobody really knows what happened,” said Santos, adding that naval officials were brought in to carry out an investigation.

Carlos Espinosa, an independent journalist from Guatape, said about a month ago townspeople awoke to find the El Almirante filled with water and sinking at its dock, suggesting that perhaps the vessel wasn’t ready to return to the water.

“What makes you angry is there are no controls by the government,” he said.

Silence sets in festive town

As night fell, the usually festive town was silent as people began to register the magnitude of the loss. Among those huddled under the rain near the port looking for information about loved ones was Alberto Villegas, who was separated from a cousin and uncle in the mad rush to abandon the sinking ship.

“All we ask is that they don’t give up the search,” said Mr. Villegas.

Authorities were at a loss to say exactly how many people were on the boat and asked passengers or their loved ones to report to a rescue center hastily set up along the shore. They also made a call for scuba divers to assist with the search.

The reservoir surrounding the soaring rocky outcrop of El Penol is a popular weekend destination a little more than an hour from Medellin. It was especially busy on Sunday as Colombians celebrated a long holiday weekend.

150 killed, 117 injured as oil tanker explodes in Pakistan

Share

At least 150 people were charred to death and over 117 others injured after an oil tanker overturned and burst into flames on a highway in Bahawalpur district of Pakistan’s Punjab Province.

The tanker exploded after fuel leaking from its damaged container caught fire. The blaze from the oil spill engulfed scores of residents who had rushed to collect leaking fuel.

Punjab government spokesman Malik Ahmad Khan said at least 150 people were killed and over 117 others injured in the explosion.

The tanker was on way to Lahore from Karachi when the driver lost control and crashed. Nearby villagers rushed toward the overturned tanker with cans to take the leaking fuel.

The fire brigade arrived on the site of the incident shortly after the blaze started and rescue operations were initiated.

Two fire engines battled the fire and eventually doused it, local media said.

At least six cars and 12 motorcycles were burnt in the blaze.

The injured were transferred to District Headquarters Hospital and Bahawal Victoria Hospital, rescue officials said.

Army chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa ordered the Army to assist the civil administration in the rescue effort.

Army helicopters have been deployed in the rescue operations.

“COAS expresses grief on losses in oil tanker incident.

Directed provision of full assistance to civil administration in rescue (and) relief efforts,” Director General of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major Gen Asif Ghafoor tweeted.

“Army Aviation helicopters sent for evacuation of casualties to hospitals (and) burn centres. Hospitals placed on high alert,” he added.

Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif ordered government officials to file a report over the incident.

Have no control on what’s being written about Jhanvi’s life

Share

Sridevi’s daughter Jhanvi Kapoor is yet to join Bollywood but the actress says she has already told her girl about the pros and cons of being an actor.

The 53-year-old actress says initially Jhanvi was getting affected of what was being written about her personal life in media.

“The other day she was very upset with reports that she was chasing a hero in a party, but that was not true. She was with director Gauri Shinde who was also there at the same party. Since it’s happening in the beginning of her career she isn’t liking it. She was quite upset and I was like, ‘Welcome to this world,” Sridevi said.

There were reports that Jhanvi had followed Ranbir Kapoor, supposedly her celebrity crush, around at a showbiz party.

Sridevi says now that her daughter has decided to come into films, she really cannot stop anyone from writing about her.

“There is nothing wrong in going out with friends. A person wants to write something wrong, he will write it even if you are just going out with friends. I can’t stop that as she is a public (figure now). I have no control over anything.”

The actor says she knows her daughter too well, and therefore does not care what others say.

“I know what she is doing and where she is going. I am a very friendly mom and my children share everything with me. I don’t have anything much to say about all this.”

Jhanvi has been in news for her appearance at social events and parties for a while now and Sridevi says she is okay with her getting all the attention by paparazzi.

Wherever she goes she gets clicked, so what do I say about that. Even when you go to a restaurant or gym or anywhere, they (media) are  everywhere and I can’t blame them also as they are doing their job.

“But at the same time it is quite tough (to deal with all this), but she has chosen this profession so she has to cope up with this.”

Jhanvi, whose father, Boney Kapoor, is a well known producer, will be launched by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions.

Meanwhile, Sridevi is gearing up for the release of her film “Mom” on July 7.

The thriller is directed by Ravi Udyawar and also stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Pakistani actors Adnan Siddiqui and Sajal Ali in pivotal parts. (PTI)
