Honey From A Serpent's Mouth

“Andhra Pradesh and Telangana were divided for better administration. But the affection between the people of both States remains.Andhra Pradesh deserved SCS more than any state and TRS would extend all support to the TDP government and I am even ready to take part in any agitation for this cause.”

Guess who spoke these words? The great Nizamabad MP and daughter of KCR, Kavitha.Yes! The very woman whose family spewed venom at the Andhras insulting them with vile words and derogatory language for the better part of a decade.She was in Amaravathi to attend the National Women’s Parliament. She went to Vijayawada and was given a reception befitting a queen by the TDP cadre there.

There were flexis welcoming her at the hotel and the young MP from Nizamabad was greeted with `Jai Kavitha’ slogans at the Durga temple, even as she pleaded with devotees to not raise slogans in temple premises.Kavitha was welcomed by temple executive officer (EO) A Surya Kumari, a rarity for the EO, an IAS officer, to personally receive an MP at the entrance from where the priests took her inside with all honours.

Besides handing over the prasadam and a portrait of the goddess, she was also gifted a saree of the deity. Naidu will go to any lengths to escape from the Stephenson case. But ‘Jai Kavitha’ slogans,Is the TDP so blinded by its lust for power that it would allow the likes of KCR and Kavitha into Andhra Pradesh, people who have humiliated the Andhras in an inexcusable manner for their political interests?

Kavitha’s new-found love for the Andhras is akin to honey coming out from a serpent’s mouth. Remember, this is the same woman who said that Telangana people did not consider themselves to be Indians by choice.

Shockingly Poor Opening For ONV

om

Nagarjuna’s devotional film Om Namo Venkatesaya directed by K. Raghavendra Rao is off to a shockingly poor start in US.It has collected a paltry $16K from its Thursday premieres, which is very low considering the price it was bought for.US distribution rights of Om Namo Venkatesaya were bought for Rs. 6 crore, which means it has to collect $1.4 Million to be a safe venture for its buyer.

Nagarjuna’s recent track record in US was highly impressive that the distribution company invested huge money in ONV.Also they were confident that the devotional genre will ensure huge attendance, but Om Namo Venkatesaya failed to take a good opening.However, buyers hope that the collections will pick up as the word of mouth is decent and received good feedback from the critics.

How KCR treats Indians and foreigners

Abdul Qahar (18), an Afghani national was injured in an encounter between security forces and terrorists in his home country a couple of years back.A bullet shattered his hip completely necessitating a replacement. After finding no assistance back home, he came to India for treatment at Gandhi Hospital, Hyderabad in January this year for free treatment.

Since the surgery costed around Rs 1.35 lakh, the Afghani was not in a position to afford it. KCR immediately sanctioned the funds and the Afghani was operated upon successfully recently. In 2015, KCR had announced Rs 30 lakh to recipients of Sena awards. In a head-on combat with two terrorists, Major Ravi Kumar of Assam Rifles, hailing from Malkajgiri, Hyderabad displayed exceptional bravery and shot one of them.The other terrorist took protection in a cattle shed and began firing indiscriminately.

Ravi Kumar, though being injured in his left arm did not give up. The citation given to Ravi Kumar indicates he kept awake throughout the night determined not to allow the holed-up terrorist escape.It was only at 11.30 am, the next day that a determined Ravi Kumar could take a shot at the terrorist and kill him. His bravery was described as `exemplary and inspirational’ in the citation.

While KCR announced the award in 2015, to date, Ravi Kumar has got only around Rs 24,000 approximately. Maybe, he should have been born in Afghanistan.

Nani’s Nenu Local might have been opened to great start but the numbers have slowed after the first week. The film got lukewarm response since second Monday. And the situation worsened after devotional Nagarjuna met tough police Suriya. Their Singam 3 and Om Namo Venkatesaya released widely. It’s said that both Nag’s ONV and S3 have got bumper openings only to hit hard Nani’s Nenu Local.

The situation is no different in US as well. The movie got around around 90K in this week and still needs another 140 K USD to touch 1 Million USD mark.

While Nag’s film has class appeal and expected to strike a chord with family audiences, Suriya’s movie is out-and-out mass entertainer, both the films are expected to do well. This in turn may is effecting Nenu Local whose numbers dipped. Even Nani’s last film Majnu was a disappointment. So, one has to see where Nenu Local finally ends.

There have been rumors of a cold war between Kangana Ranaut and her ‘Rangoon’ co-star Shahid Kapoor while shooting for the film. When the duo was asked about the same when they attended a promotional event, Shahid has predictably rubbished it but the unfiltered Kangana didn’t.

Kangana said that she felt like living a nightmare when she had to share a cottage with Shahid during the course of filming near mountains in Arunachal Pradesh.

Elaborating on the same, the firebrand actress said that as they were shooting in a remote location, ‘Rangoon’ unit erected a little makeshift cottage. The teams of both Shahid and Kangana were asked to share that one cottage.

“Every morning, he used to wake up us all to mad hip-hop music which he would put on while exercising. I was so fed up that I wanted to move out. That whole schedule of living together with Shahid was a nightmare for me,” she said with a big laugh.

Kangana might be commended by many for her candor, but her unfiltered revelations are nonetheless embarrassing her co-stars.
