Vishnu Manchu best fits in for comedy flicks like Denikaina Ready and Eedo Raam Ado Rakam, both hits directed by same person G Nageshwar Reddy. Yet again, the combo of Vishnu and GNR will strike back for third film titled Achari America Yatra.

None other than Vishnu is to reprise Achari character in title and his trip to America generates humor. Script is known to have come out for utmost satisfaction.

As soon as Vishnu wraps up his current assignment in G Karthik Reddy direction, next to go on floors is Achari America Yatra.

Major shooting is likely to be held in the United States and schedules are presently in planning stages.

In what can be called as a safe combination, Achari America Yatra already started creating enthusiasm in film circles.

Drink Toddy To Avoid Cancer!

kcr

Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has come out with a wonderful formula to beat the dreaded disease – cancer.

KCR told the assembly on Saturday that consumption of unadulterated toddy will cure cancer.

“There have been reports in some media that if you drink pure toddy, you won’t get cancer,” he said.

Strongly defending his government’s decision to encourage toddy tapping, KCR said toddy consumption is a culture in Telangana.

“It’s a poor man’s drink. After working hard for the entire day, in the evening, they drink two glasses of toddy and sleep. It’s a habit in Telangana, though some people in Andhra too consume it,” KCR said.

He, however, said the government was taking strict measures to curb adulterated toddy, which was harmful to the people’s health.

Katamarayudu's 'Tagubothu' Anthem

Share

pk

Third song from Katamarayudu album has been unveiled on Sunday evening. It is a colorful mass song that is going to be an anthem for all the drunkards.

The song which goes Jivvu Jivvu is reminiscent of Mandu Babulam from Gabbar Singh, but is not as catchy as the latter.

Anup Rubens tune is ordinary like the previously released two songs from Katamarayudu.

Traditional dappu beats are impressive, but the tune is not catchy at all. Lyrics penned by Varikuppala Yadagiri will put a smile on listeners faces, especially for people who love to drink.

Apart from lyrics and attractive beats, there is nothing special about Jivvu Jivvu song which will heavily rely upon Pawan Kalyan’s energy and his trademark teen maar steps for such numbers.

Most People Don't Know My Name Yet

Actor Sri Vishnu is humble, modest and down-to-earth. The actor who recently tasted success with Appatlo Okadundevadu is now on a roll. Ahead of the release of his next film Maa Abbayi that’s releasing on Mar 17th, we get talking to Vishnu.

Maa Abbayi:

It’s based on a real-incident that happened few years ago in Hyderabad. The plot isn’t new. But the screenplay is novel. We made sure the treatment is fresh, different. This is the highest-budget film in my career so far. It has good span. Even I was skeptical about putting so much money on me. But the producer is so much confident on the film and so we. The film has come up really well.

I’ll be seen as confident youth in the film. As title suggests, it appeals to family audiences. The sister-brother sentiment stands out. There’s action element as well but it’s part of the story.

Appatlo Okadundevadu:

We had started the film with a passion to tell a different story. Seriously we didn’t had business goal in our mind when we started it and we made the film with love. But we were so confident about people receiving new, different films provided they’re well-made. And the result of Appatlo Okadundevadu was beyond our expectation. It’s successful. But had we released in better time and had we got good number of theatres, definitely we’d have got better result.

Until Appatlo Okadundevadu, in fact, even today most of the people don’t know my name yet. Many call me ‘Railway Raju’. Before Appatlo Okadundevadu too, I was called ‘Royal Raju’ that again was my name in my debut Prema Ishq Kaadhal. I’m so happy to be identified with the characters I play on screen. This means that I’m successful as an actor. In fact, I want audiences to notice me with my onscreen names only.

On Hiking Remuneration:

I had agreed this film even before the release of Appatlo Okadundevadu. So, certainly I haven’t hiked my remuneration.

Romantic Scenes:

Seriously, I wasn’t comfortable while doing the romantic scenes. It was really tough. (laughs)

Nara Rohith:

Yes, Rohith and I share great bond. But we talk mostly about films and nothing more. And no, we haven’t finalised yet about his Rohith’s special role in my ongoing film ‘Needi Naadi Oke Kadha’. We had thought to have Rohith but somehow we couldn’t do it in the previous schedule and we need to decide it before the next schedule.

Apart from this, I’m doing ‘Mental Madhilo’ and it’ll be interesting story.

In Talk: Rakul's Item Song With NTR

rakul

Is Rakul going to join the exclusive list of heroines who’re opting for item songs, besides lead roles?

After top actresses like Tamannah Bhatia, Shruti Haasan and Kajal Aggarwal featured in special dance numbers, a new speculation has it that the makers of NTR’s upcoming film, tentatively titled as ‘Jai Lava Kusa’, are trying to rope in Rakul Preet Singh for an item song.

Yes, if the latest rumors are to be believed, the Winner lass who is an A-list Tollywood star is under consideration for a special dance number alongside Tarak and it is said to be an energetic one from musician Devi Sri Prasad. Rakul, being the very successful actress in a very short span, also acted with NTR in Nannaku Prematho which released last year.

On other hand, it is needless to tell how big Kajal’s item song (Pakka Local) in Janatha Garage attracted our audiences and made name for the Magadheera beauty. So, will Rakul Preet Singh follow her steps and opt a new career option? – you’d be answered soon.

Having shed his weight, NTR is all set to begin the film shortly. Tarak’s brother and hero Kalyan Ram will bankroll the project under NTR Arts banner and director Bobby is helming it.

If the victory moments appear great for elected legislator in Uttar Pradesh, their shocking assets, criminal charges and other statistics of state election will surprise people. According to a national media report, the UP polls for 403 MLAs have elected as many as 322 crorepatis (more then 2/3rd of lawmakers) and 143 legislators (more than 1/3rd of MLAs) facing criminal charges including murder & rape.

Out of 1455 multi-millionaires contested in elections, 143 have reportedly declared criminal charge sheet details and 107 are included in either murder or rape cases. Although these numbers are quite non-acceptable, many netas in Uttar Pradesh always sustained these charges.

Interestingly a BSP contestant Mukthar Ansari, who won from Mau constituency, is a mafia don-turned-politico who’s more than 15 criminal charges against him. And a rich BJP MLA named Ajay Pratap Singh declared himself as a farmer and reported 49 crore worth assets including 60kgs of gold, 6 riffles and seven vehicles in his affidavit.

While the participation of female contestants in largest state of India was less than 10%, a total number of 40 woman MLAs emerged out victorious.

Jagan hopes to do a BJP in Andhra in 2019!

jagan-3 (1)

The resounding victory of the Bharatiya Janata Party in Uttar Pradesh, where it has trounced the Cycle party – Samajwadi Party in the assembly elections, seems to have given a big hope to YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy.

He now hopes that his party also will do a BJP in Andhra Pradesh elections in 2019. Claiming the people are fed-up with TDP polices and corruption under its rule, YSRCP asserted the party will win the 2019 Assembly elections.

“It is high time the anti-people policies of TDP are rejected outright to pave the way for the golden era of YSR (former AP Chief Minister late Y S Rajasekhara Reddy),” the YSRC leaders said, according to a release issued by the opposition party.

Speaking at the party’s Foundation Day function, party MP Mekapati Rajamohan Reddy said, “We (YSR Congress) have completed six years and have to resolve that we will fight corruption and anti-people polices of the TDP government.” The party leaders said the Centre should keep its promise of granting special category status to Andhra Pradesh.

“Naidu’s lack of morals and also manipulative skills came to the fore when he lured 21 of our MLAs and two MPs to his side using corrupt methods. Such practices are a mockery of democracy. People are waiting to teach him a lesson,” they said, according to the party release.

“YSR Congress is the future and youth in large numbers are getting attracted to the party as they want to see Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy (party chief) as Chief Minister after the 2019 elections,” they said.

Modi Calls For A 'New India' By 2022

modi10

New Delhi: Observing that the results of the recent assembly polls were food for thought for experts, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday envisioned a “New India” that looks to contribute and not just to take.

A day after BJP secured a historic mandate in the assembly polls, Modi undertook a victory march from Le Meridien hotel to the nearby party headquarters on Ashoka Road, thanking the people and party workers.

“There are many reasons for winning an election but the massive voting that led to this massive win has become food for thought for political pundits,” Modi said addressing party workers.

“I have been seeing opinions of political pundits and media reports. We have seen emotional issues dominating elections. No party has won elections only on development agenda and without an emotional issue. But we have done that,” he said.

Asserting that he was never bound by electoral motives, Modi called upon the people of the country to strive towards creating a “New India” by 2022.

“I have seen the deluge of poll-centric dreams, I envision a new India. We want 1.25 crore Indians collectively striving to make New India.

“We respect and accept the work done by all Prime Ministers and Chief Ministers. In 2022 when we will celebrate 75 years India, we want to have a new India. An India of the dreams of the youth, of empowered women and their dreams. A new India that looks to contribute and not just to take. The India that seeks opportunities to grow.

“We have five years and if all Indians pledge their commitment, then India can never lag back,” he said, adding the results of the assembly polls have boosted the country’s aspirations.

He also asserted that he would seek to relieve the “most burdened” middle-class.

“The middle class is the most burdened section, burdened of tax, societal norms… This burden needs to go and that will happen once the poor are empowered to shoulder their own burdens.

“And today’s poor do not look for doles, they want opportunities to utilise their hard work. The strength of the poor and the aspirations of the middle class can take India to new heights,” he said.

He also said BJP was having its golden period that didn’t suddenly come but was a result of four generations of toil and sweat.

Unlike LS, Andhra assembly defers budget

In a rare gesture, the Andhra Pradesh assembly has deferred the presentation of the annual budget by the Chandrababu Naidu government by at least two days, following the death of Nandyal MLA Bhuma Nagi Reddy on Sunday.

A notification to this effect was issued by the assembly secretariat in the afternoon, a couple of hours after the death of Bhuma.

As per the schedule, finance minister Yanamala Ramakrishnudu will present the budget in the assembly at Velagapudi at 11 am on Monday. However, the assembly and council will be closed for the day as mark of respect to the departed soul.

The assembly will assemble again on Tuesday but will get adjourned soon after paying homage to Bhuma Nagi Reddy.

The Business Advisory Committee of the assembly will meet after that to decide the exact date of the presentation of the budget. In all probability, it will be presented on Wednesday.

It is a rare that any government is postponing the budget presentation for the sake of a deceased MLA. But there is a convention that the House will suspend all its other transactions when a sitting MLA dies.

However, the NDA government did not follow this convention recently. On January 31, former union minister and sitting Lok Sabha member E Ahamed collapsed in the House itself and was rushed to the hospital. He died in the early hours of February 1.

As per the convention, the Lok Sabha should have adjourned for the day after paying condolences to the deceased member.

However, Finance Minister Arun Jaitely went ahead with the budget presentation, despite protests from the Congress members.

They Are Failing In Tollywood?

bolly

People many times generalise things about Film Industry that if a girl goes super glamorous on the screen, then surely she’s gonna become a super starlet. The present-day superstars like Samantha, Tamanna, Rakul and Kajal mostly fall in this category while there are beauties like Keerthi Suresh as well who bagged biggies without an inch of skin show.

Frankly speaking, skin show along won’t get this star status and it takes much more. Acting, dancing, finding right scripts, being part of right events at right time, mingling with a perfect circle, equation with producers and directors, professional commitments and many other factors matter a lot. If not, this ‘spicy’ brigade would have become top starlets here in Tollywood.

The likes of Sara Jane Dais (Panja heroine), Sonal Chauhan (Legend), Disha Patani (Loafer) and Amyra Dastur (Anekudu fame) are known for their hottest skin show ever in the circuit. Whenever these beauties took magazine covers by a storm with their red hot bikini looks, youths just go mad. But when it comes to films, these hotties never made their mark or yet to score that one-big-happening-life-changing film that could give them a break.

For that to happen, these spices need to improvise their acting skills and much more other than their curvaceous hotness. It’s not hotness++ that matters, but hotness plus something.

Despite not acting beside Pawan Kalyan, Anisha Ambrose got the tag of ‘Pawan’s Heroine’ for just being in news for a long as the heroine of ‘Gabbar Singh 2’.

After making her debut with a small film named ‘Alias Janaki’, Anisha’s name became household in the Telugu sates after Pawan surprisingly selected her as the leading lady of ‘Gabbar Singh 2’. For some reasons, he later changed his mind and replaced her with Kajal.

The disappointed actress soon grabbed two other opportunities, thanks to the fame brought in by Gabbar Singh 2. Her second release, Sundeep Kishan’s ‘Run’ became an outright disaster at box offce. Later, she played a key role in critically acclaimed but commercially unsuccessful film ‘Manamantha’.

This unlucky actress has now reportedly bagged a new film, Manchu Manoj’s ‘Okkadu Migiladu’. The film also has Regina as another female lead. Anisha is quite excited about this film and she hopes that it will revive her fortune in Tollywood.

Manoj himself is struggling with back to back flops. Lets see how far ‘Okkadu Migiladu’ helps Anisha and the Manchu hero.

After a series of gun-firing attacks on Indian origin US residents like Srinivas Kuchibotla, Deep Rai and Harnish Patel, the United States of America had witnessed yet another hate crime incident. Only after Donald Trump assuming as President of US, attacks on Indian NRIs and their assets have been soaring.

Going into the news, a 64-year old Richard Lloyd has been reportedly taken into custody by Florida police for setting up fire to a Indian-born’s convenience store at 100 Prima Vista Blvd in Port St. Lucie. Assuming that the store belongs to an Arab Muslim, Richard has sparked a blaze and stood at the store, with a smile on his face.

Ken Mascara, Sheriff of St. Lucie County, said that, ‘the fire at the convenience store was put out immediately and no big damage has been caused. It’s unfortunate that Richard assumed the store owner as an Arab Muslim and attempted to attack.’

After being taken into custody, Lloyd said to police authorities that he was denied a bottle of Tropicana Orange Pineapple juice when he visited Indian’s store last week. Police authorities are investing into this on the lines of hate-crime charges and the suspect was booked in lie of USD30,000 bond.
