'Pawan Will Come To Power in 2019'

Pawan Kalyan himself might have dismissed of him having any ambitions to come to power and might have openly stated that coming to power isn’t his political goal, yet that didn’t deter his elder brother Nagababu to predict of Pawan coming to power in 2019.

“As an voter I believe Pawan Kalyan Will come to power in 2019. Honest people like Pawan Kalyan need to come to power. He has never taken money from anyone and in fact he had lost his money for others. Yes to run political party, one needs money. That’s why Pawan Kalyan is acting in films for money,” Nagababu said in a TV interview.

Meanwhile, taking many by surprise, Nagababu lashed out at CM Chandrababu Naidu and his government in AP. “Beyond saying that they’re building capital in Amaravati, had they done anything or are they doing anything? If so, please tell us. Allegations of corruption are rife. Development isn’t seen much. Power is being misused,” Nagababu expressed his angst against TDP government saying that he has 100 percent dissatisfaction on the incumbent government in AP.

Nagababu’s latest and severe remarks on TDP government are seen as serious comments. One has to wait and see how TDP leaders would take it and respond to them. On other hand, Pawan Kalyan continues to maintain his silence over AP government. Although Pawan had openly hit out at BJP a few times, Pawan didn’t criticise TDP much and he only cautioned the state government to fulfill the promises.

On other hand, we hear that the director has already put up a team of writers to make few changes to the story to suit Bollywood style. Although the filmmaker’s last film Akira failed to perform well, let us see how this remake will help him regain the charm.

While Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Kajal Aggarwal played the female lead roles in Tamil and Telugu, who do you think should do the Hindi version? Sound off your comments below!

A Cuss Word And Sex Position Did The Job

“Arjun Reddy” is the latest film of Yevade Subramanyam and Pelli Choopulu fame Vijaya Sai Devarakonda. Within no time the teaser of the film was released, the film got huge hype and business is speaking big numbers now.

If we have to go by the teaser of the film, what catches any one’s attention is that cuss word first. Then we have the hero pulling heroine towards him very desperately and also kissing her. M****d is one cuss word that opens the character of the hero, while he’s seen pulling a girl as if they are doing a table top sex scene (all clothed, however) is a shot that stunned many. These two things have alarmed for the kind of bold content they are, though one has to see if Censor Board will give approval for them or not.

In the recent times, no film got such cuss words or scenes approved by the Board and only for YouTube a teaser/trailer sans the Censor Certificate could be released this way. Cashing on that, Arjun Reddy did amazingly well thereby creating terrific interest among audiences. If this is followed by some interesting content inside, surely the film will work at the box office as well. Already distributors are gearing up for the producer’s office to own the rights.

Directed by newcomer Sandeep Reddy, the film has Vijaya Sai Devarakonda in the lead while Telugu model Shalini Vadlamani is debuting as a heroine.

Can Babu Satisfy All?

babu-3

AP CM and TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu is in a tight spot as there’s a stiff competition among the leaders of the party for MLC seats in the upcoming MLC elections. As MLC elections are going to be held in AP for 21 seats, several senior leaders are vying up to bag the opportunity. While two seats would be nominated directly, the competition is for the remaining 19 seats – of which 5 are for teachers, graduates, 9 for local bodies and 5 from MLAs quota.

It’s learnt that around 50 people are in fray for the 19 seats. Big names like Karanam Balaram, Angara Rammohan, one among Anam brothers, Adala Prabhakar Reddy, Ambika Krishna and many noted leaders are in the race.

Chandrababu Naidu is expected to take a decision on the final list of candidates today after attending the politburo meeting of the party.

It’s buzzed that the disappointed candidates may even shift their loyalties to Opposition YSR Congress party. However, it has to be seen how TDP is going to restrict the defections and pacify the dissatisfied candidates. The big question is can Chandrababu satisfy all?

Meanwhile, MLC elections for teachers’ constituency and graduates’ constituencies in AP will be held on March 9. Elections will be held for 3 graduates’ constituencies and 2 teachers’ constituencies as the tenure of the incumbents ends on March 29. The Election Commission has already issued the schedule.

'I Urged Him On Returning To India, But He Had Faith In US'

Sunayana, wife of slain techie Srinivas Kuchibhotla spoke at tribute-paying gathering at Garmin the other day. Her moist eyes and chocked voice have not stopped her from asking strong questions.

She revealed about asking Srinivas many a time about leaving the US, as the intolerence is growing at large and each day a new incident proving the same happened. But Srinivas urged her to be positive and ‘good things happen to good people’ is what he said to her.

Sunayana always wondered about how safe are we? She described how they came to US about ten years back meeting online and getting married in 2012. She even revealed about their planning for children and everything looks blur now with his death just few days before his 33rd birthday,

Srinivas always rejected the idea of Sunayana’s idea of leaving for India and now She became the voice of many immigrants who had doubts and worries on minds about living in the US. The very question from her ‘Do we belong here?’ echoed on everyone’s minds at tribute paying gathering of Garmin and many Indians who watched the video of her speech.

Sunayana demanded an answer from US government on what they promise to take up measures to put down the hate crime that has taken away her husband and many others on US lands. She demands an answer before she leaves for India to look after the last rites of her husband in India.

While Trump is good at delivering anti-immigrant rhetoric speeches, many started blaming him for not responding on the latest hate crime, the president’s spokesperson Sean Spicer says it is too early to jump to a conclusion as they have seen that too often in the past in Florida and other places.

We have heard and seen passengers traveling standing in buses and trains but for the first time, a flight has carried passengers standing on the aisle. This dubious record is created by a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight.

As per international media reports, a Pakistani flight from Karachi to Medina, Saudi Arabia allowed 7 extra passengers who were all forced to stand on the aisle during the entire course of journey. Although this incident occurred last month, it came to light after Pakistan’s Dawn newspaper reported it.

The paper quoted that the staff had issued additional handwritten boarding passes to those seven seatless travelers. After the incident was exposed, Pakistan’s Civil Aviation Authority has received severe criticism for not taking action against the airline for putting the lives of passengers at risk.

Aviation experts said that if a case of emergency evacuation had arose, the extra passengers would not have had access to oxygen, which would have endangered their lives.

Responding to the accusations, PIA spokesman said that the airline is investigating the issue and that appropriate action would be taken if the staffers were found guilty.

Close on the heels of ongoing online war between the fans of Pawan Kalyan and Allu Arjun, the gap is slowly widening. While fans continue to troll rival hero, his films and fans, the opposite team too is countering strongly. And now this mega war has intensified with heroes from mega family too allegedly taking sides. Looks like, Sai Dharam Tej has taken side of his Chinna Mamvaiaha Pawan Kalyan and tried to ridicule his cousin Allu Arjun.

In his latest offering Winner, it seems, Sai Dharam Tej takes potshots at Allu Arjun. Although not directly, yet the satires were clear thus inviting anger of Bunny’s fans.

As part of the film, Sai had to play a jockey who rides horses. In one particular scene where Sai was threatened by showing him a racing horse, the dialogue goes like this, “If it’s a ‘Race Gurram’, our man will ride on it.”

In another dialogue, it’s said,” ‘Race Gurram’ and ‘Nannaku Prematho’ are the two Telugu films that I dislike.”

Naturally, these two alleged satires on Bunny haven’t gone well with his fans who feel it’s intentionally done to belittle their favourite star. Let’s see where this rift within the family ends.

Avoid Speaking Telugu In The USA

‘Avoid speaking Telugu or your mother tongue in public places in the United states of America’! This is not a warning from anyone else but a strong suggestion from our own Telugu organizations in the USA, after the recent tragic developments, that resulted in death of a Telugu person in racist argument.

Telangana American Telugu Association (TATA) general secretary Vikram Jangam urged Telugu people in the USA to watch their own behavior and conversations in public places, as many a time what we speak puts us in danger.

Vikram even suggested to stay away from arguments in public and maintain distance from provoking people. It is always better to leave that place and speak in English where you meet the fellow Telugites in public areas. Avoid walking or visiting the deserted places and do call 911 in emergency situations, and better avoid the places that look suspicious.

A Telugu techie working in US asked to avoid long conversations with unknown native Americans. Many Telugu people live in California, Washington DC and New York and they were not impacted by these shootings in Kansas as they claim freindly response from all Americans they met so far.

Call it a soft criticism. Yet it’s as hard as any other. In a direct jibe at Pawan Kalyan, former minister and Kapu crusader Mudragada Padmanabham stated that tweets can’t bring Special Category Status to AP.

“Special Category Status won’t be reality through Tweets, Public Meetings,” said Mudragada adding that one has to fight for it vehemently to make it real. He has given call to all the individuals, political parties wanting Special Category Status under one umbrella. Mudragada said that he’s keen to join forces with all the like-minded people, parties for the cause.

He said he has already written letters to Chiranjeevi, Pawan Kalyan and all other celebrities of the industry to support the cause of Special Category Status to AP. Saying that denying SGS would be a gross injustice to the youth of AP, he has said nothing is impossible to achieve if it’s fought well.

He also pointed out at the Telangana formation, temporary removal of ban on Jallikattu as examples and asked people of AP to come in unity to fight and make their dream of SGS into reality.

The makers of Ghazi have resorted to innovative and promoting marketing strategy resulting in film opening to excellent selection.

The makers have now cleverly restricted the screening in the 2nd week as a regular commercial film like ‘Winner’ was releasing. They have retained all fresh centers for releasing from 10.03.2017 when no films are releasing for two weeks. As the word of mouth has also spread about the film, they are expecting the word of mouth to go bigger by 10.03.2017 so that the film could be released in all smaller centers where people know by then about the film and its success.

Overseas, the makers are opening many fresh locations in view of stupendous business the film did in the first week.

This smart positioning is bound to help Ghazi in the coming weeks.

Emerging hero Nani, who gave a super hit with his latest film “Nenu Local” in which he played the role of B Tech Babu, seems to be a man in hurry.Even before he digested the success of his latest film, Nani has started work for his next film “MCA” under Dil Raju’s banner. The film to be directed by Venu Sriram, is going on to the sets very shortly. But before that, his another film “Ninnu Kori” in which he played the role of a lover boy, is going to hit the screens very soon.

So, Nani has been doing a series of films one after the other, while taking every precaution in picking up interesting subjects and ensuring that the budget does not shoot up. Since all his films can assure minimum guarantee returns, Nani has become the most sought-after hero for the producers. It is not an exaggeration to say that no other hero has as many projects on hand as Nani has at present.

Apparently, Nani wants to make hay while sun shines. He is adopting an aggressive approach in cashing in on the craze he has and the success he has been achieving. Some of the projects Nani has approved include a film with Hanu Raghavapudi, director of Krishna Gaadi Veera Prema Gaatha; and another film with Merlapaka Gandhi, who made successful films like Venkatadri Express and Express Raja.In fact, he was very busy with his shooting for another film, when Nenu Local was released.

Allu Arjun-starrer Duvvada Jagannatham being produced by Dil Raju under the direction of Harish Shankar, has been generating a lot of enthusiasm after the release of its promo.Everything – Allu Arjun’s get up and the first look – are appearing new. Though such roles were played by several heroes in the past, it is really interesting to watch Allu Arjun doing this character of Agraharam Chari.The fact that a stylish actor is being shown in a peculiar angle itself has brought a lot of craze for DJ much before its release.

However, going by the sources, there is a lot of action element in DJ, though it is being portrayed as a comedy film. Known for elevating the hero character in his films, Harish Shankar has scripted several action scenes for this film.According to highly placed sources, the get-up being projected for Allu Arjun as Duvvada Jagannatham is just a hidden identity and the character has actually a heroic angle.

Since Duvvada Jagannathm is being released in theatres after Baahubali-2, Dil Raju has launched an early launch of the publicity campaign only to build the craze among the audiences.By and large, the DJ team is fully jubilant to the response it is getting for the first look and teaser ad.
