Gaddar Willing To Work With Pawan Kalyan's Party
Hyderabad: Rebel poet Gaddar, who plans to float a political party in Telangana, has expressed his willingness to work with Jana Sena party of popular Telugu actor Pawan Kalyan.
Describing Pawan as a long-time friend, Gaddar on Sunday said he would consider working with him, after floating the political party.
The balladeer said he would also work to bring together the like-minded parties. Talking to reporters, he acknowledged that a lot is being heard in political circles about Pawan Kalyan’s party.
Pawan announced earlier this month that Jana Sena will contest the next elections in both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
There is a buzz in political circles that Gaddar will play a key role in the actor’s plans for Telangana. Pawan has also dropped hints at working with the Communist parties, which have a support base in some pockets of Telagana.
The former Maoist, who plans to build an alternative political force representing ‘true aspirations’ of Telangana people and has good rapport with the Left parties, is expected to bring the parties closer.
Gaddar remarked that political power can’t be achieved overnight and that it needs sacrifices and struggle.
The poet, who had founded Jana Natya Mandali, the cultural wing of the erstwhile People’s War Group, said he had been carrying on his battle for 70 years.
Gaddar, whose real name is Gummadi Vithal Rao, is a critic of Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government and believes that Telangana of the dreams of the martyrs is yet to be achieved.
He earlier planned to launch the political party on April 6 to coincide with the attack on him 20 years ago.
The Maoist sympathiser was shot by five unknown people at his Venkatapuram residence in Secunderabad on April 6, 1997.
He had blamed police and then Telugu Desam Party (TDP) government for the assassination attempt.
Gaddar claims to have formally severed all links with the Maoists to enter mainstream electoral politics.

“The scale on which it is being made, a major budget will be spent on some extravagant action scenes. Although it will be a commercial outing, we are attempting something new and I would like to keep that as a surprise element,” Sujeeth said.
International stuntman Kenny Bates, popular for his work on films such as “Die Hard” and “Transformers”, has been brought on board.

In the second part of “Baahubali” franchise, Prabhas will return as Amarendra Baahubali.
Directed by Rajamouli, the project will finally shed the light on why Kattappa, a character played by Sathyaraj, killed Baahubali.

Can Rajamouli Make People Sit That Long?
Now that all issues surrounding Baahubali: The Conclusion are resolved and the film is bracing up for the biggest ever release in a week, the Baahubali fever has gripped the people. As the film’s censor has been completed and passed with U/A certificate, a few interesting details about the film are in discussion in tinsel town.
The latest we hear is that the film’s run-time is 170.51 minutes which means it is 2.51 hours. This is certainly very longtime considering that the run-time of the most of the recent films was around 2.10 hours including Krish’s historic film Gautamiputra Satakarni and several other commercial films that released in 2017.
It has to be seen how Rajamouli could make people sit this long. It’s not so easy to make people hook to the seats throughout the film.
Highlights of Baahubali: The Conclusion

Besides this, of course, the face-off between Prabhas (Shivudu, Amarendra Baahubali) and Rana (Bhallaladeva) is going to be another highlight of the film. It’s said that the love story between Anushka (Devasena) and Prabhas (Amarendra Baahubali) leaves viewers with a romantic experience. Of course, the war scenes are going to be another highlight.

During a recent media interaction, Tamanna revealed that she really admires Rana for his fashion sense.

The ‘Baahubali’ beauty rated Rana as one of the most fashionable men that she has come across.
Interim, Baahubali 2 is gearing up for a massive worldwide release on April 28.
Varun & Sai Should Learn From Nani & Sharwa!
Varun Tej and Sai Dharam Tej’s last two films have turned out to be duds. The films were not just commercial flops but have failed to get the critical acclaim. Blame it on the actors choice of stereotyped roles and run-of-the-mill subjects.
Varun’s last films Loafer and Mister have been badly misfired. However unlike Varun who at least tried different film like Kanche, Sai has stuck to commercial and mass formula. Starting from Pilla Nuvvu Leni Jeevitham to Rey to SOS to Supreme are all routine commercial films and he constantly tried to position himself as a mass hero. And Thikka and Winner are heights of Tej’s choices that gave him strong setback.
This is the right time for both the young mega heroes to sit and notice the choices they have made in the past and their results. It’s time to go back to the drawing board and do some proper introspection and come up with a new plan for the bright future.
Sample actors Nani and Sharwanand who started quite well initially. But when few evidently bad choices have pushed them in deep troubles in the middle of their career. At one stage, Nani had a series of flops ( Paisa, Aaha Kalyanam, Janda Pai Kapiraju) and it looked difficult for the actor to bounce back. And so, Sharwanand. He suffered with back-to-back duds like Nuvva Nena, Ko Ante Koti and Satya 2.
But both have quickly realised their mistakes and corrected themselves. While Nani made a comeback with Yevade Subramanyam (which is decent), Sharwa back to the glory with Run Raja Run. Now the duo is really doing great and has an interesting pipeline of films.
Varun & Sai should take notice of Nani and Sharwa and probably learn something from them. After all, there’s nothing wrong in learning from others.
