Rajamouli Directing Karthikeya!

Share

karthikeya

With director SS Rajamouli publicly acknowledging his son SS Karthikeya’s hard work as an assistant director for “Baahubali: The Beginning” at the audio launch of the film, everyone understood what this youngster is up to now. But it looks like he’s a confused individual if we have to go by the work he’s doing.

Apparently while working as an assistant director for Baahubali, Karthikeya has started a company named “Showing Business”, where he’s seen carving out special teasers, audio launch videos and other making videos stuff for films. His company worked on projects like Baahubali, Akhil and also Khaidi No 150 pre-release videos. Maybe one would feel that the youngster is showing his editing and creative presentation talents through this work.

And now this assistant director turned creative presentation maker, has taken the onus of film production in a different position. He will be working as Line Producer for Naga Chaitanya’s next film that will be produced by Sai Korrapati. One wonders why did he take this new job except that he missed out a clarity on what to do in the film industry.

Sources have revealed that none other Rajamouli is directing his son this way. At the first Karthikeya worked as assistant director and then did some presentations. Now he will see the film-making work from producer’s angle and that’s what Rajamouli wants him to do. Then only Karthikeya will learn the intricate nuances of film making properly and will go on carving out better films in the future.

Hero Returns Full Remuneration to Producer Chowdary

Lawrence

Choreographer turned actor-filmmaker Raghava Lawrence, who is known for his charity work, has once again shown his big heart and this time, it is for the sake of his film’s producer.

It may be noted that Lawrence’s upcoming film ‘Motta Siva Ketta Siva’ has been lying in cans for more than six months as the producer was unable to clear the finances. A kind-hearted Lawrence has reportedly given back his full remuneration and asked him to release the film first. Interestingly, the man at the receiving end is no small fish but a senior producer, RB Chowdhary.

Going into details, Chowdhary had bought the Tamil remake rights of Kalyanram Nandamuri’s blockbuster film ‘Pataas’ and partnered with another producer named Madan to make ‘Motta Siva Ketta Siva’ with Lawrence in lead. Because of Madan’s inordinate debts, the film stuck in financial issues and Chowdhary struggled alone for long time to release this Lawrence starrer.

Now, as Lawrence has voluntarily returned his remuneration, Chowdhary has announced Feb 17th as the release date. Interestingly, Lawrence’s another film, ‘Siva Linga’ is also releasing on the same date. Shva Linga was earlier slated for Republic Day release but it got postponed then.

As both the films have their share of postponements, producer of neither film is ready to back off from Feb 17 release. Lawrence is reportedly chalking out plans to ensure his films don’t clash at box office.

The Canadian Tennis player Eugenie Bouchard, who is currently ranked at 47 in the world as per WTA rankings, has lost a bet to her follower on Twitter and while the penalty for losing bet was to go on a date with him, she surprisingly fulfilled it.

The 22 year old Eugenie, who was supporting Atlanta Falcons team against New England Patriots in the Super Bowl Football match, has posted a couple of tweets predicting Falcons victory when they were comfortably ahead with 21-0.

But, a curious fan of her – who should have foreseen the result- asked her to come for a date if New England team wins at that situation. As predicted by the fan, Patriots made impossible possible in next few minutes. In a stunningly super game, the Patriots team regained strength and trounced Falcons to emerge out victorious with 34-28 points.

Now that Eugenia lost the bet she agreed to her follower, she herself asked him ‘So…where do you live?’ and went on a date with her lucky fan. Confirming that she had been out on a date with him, the star tennis player posted a picture of her and tweeted, ‘Omg… last night really happened.

Nag's Love Story: RGV Says Wrong – Nag Says Right

Apparently social media platforms have become those places for celebs to reveal many unknown things, and known things in a new style. Especially on micro-blogging site twitter, few celebrities express their opinions rather frankly.

Other day maverick director Ram Gopal Varma has shared a vintage picture where he’s seen with Akkineni Nagarjuna and Amala Mukherjee from the shooting spot of Siva movie. “Me with Nagarjuna and Amala at the shoot of “Kiss me wrong number” song from SHIVA”. Composed by Ilayaraja, this is a good hit and a peppy number that piqued a lot of interest back then. However, the reply that is given by Nagarjuna for this tweet is really interesting.

“Hey RGV this brings back such beautiful memories/But I said kiss me right number”, Nagarjuna tweeted back a reply, revealing his love story in a single line. The world knows, how Nagarjuna and Amala have fallen in love during the making of Shiva and later got married. And his humorous reply saying that he asked to kiss him, saying that he’s a right number, is really romantic. Actually inside the film, in that scene, Nagarjuna looks moody and Amala sings up that song!!

Well, such humour and interesting reply coming from a big celebrity like Nagarjuna inspires even other celebrity to openly share their opinions.

Young bollywood hero Varun Dhawan has revealed that Salman Khan had once warned to slap him for calling him ‘Uncle’.

Varun’s new film ‘Judwaa 2’, a sequel to the 90s super hit film ‘Judwaa’ starring Salman Khan was launched on Tuesday. On the occasion, Varun has recollected an unforgettable incident happened between him and the bollywood box office behemoth, Salman Khan.

Varun’s father David Dhawan was the director of Judwaa. For the celeb show of the film, the entire Dhawan family including the then 7-year-old Varun were in attendance. On the eve, when the kid Varun called Salman as ‘Uncle, the star hero softly rebuked him and asked him to call him ‘Salman Bhai’ instead of ‘uncle’. Varun also said that Salman had threatened to slap him if he calls him uncle again.

More than two decades later, Varun rose to become one of the promising young actors of bollywood and is now gearing up to step into the shoes of Salman in ‘Judwaaa’ sequel. Taapsee and Jacqueline Fernandez are playing his leading ladies.

Similarity Between Pawan and Rajasekhar

When it comes to loving guns for the screen, almost all of our star heroes showcased their expertise in using any form of gun. They use revolvers, point guns, double barrel guns, pistols, machine guns, semi-automatic bullet wielding machines with ease. Thanks to creativity of our star directors as well.

Most recently Pawan Kalyan has flaunted his special love for guns in “Sardaar Gabbar Singh” through not just his character but others well. He got some vintage single shot guns specially duplicated for the film and spent a bomb in getting the old model guns designed true to their shape and look. Do we have any other gun lover in Tollywood? Yes, we have it in the form of angry hero Rajasekhar too.

For the upcoming film “PSV Garuda Vega 126.18M”, he’s said to be showing his love for guns through the Police boss character he’s playing in the movie. On the first look poster, one could notice names like .300 Winchester Magnum and Beretta’s in the background. While the title of the film itself sounds like a name of a bullet, Winchester is a standard bullet used in shot guns, while Beretta is a company that manufactures guns. One wonders how much Rajasekhar likes about guns and how his director Praveen Sattaru incorporated many ‘gun’ ideas into the film.

Exclusively shot in Georgia’s Poti and Batumi seaports and also in cities like Tbilisi, Batumi and Borjomi in the country, this film just gives a new experience on guns it seems. Meanwhile, Rajasekhar carries a licensed gun in real life as well for his personal security!!

Balayya Sacrifices Minister Post To Lokesh

Nandamuri Balakrishna said to have sacrificed ‘ministry’ for his son-in-low Nara Lokesh who will soon be expected to inducted into Chandrababu Naidu’s cabinet. Reportedly, Balayya has said ‘no’ when offered ministry in Naidu’s cabinet as it’d affect the chances of his son-in-law becoming a minister.

Apparently, CM Chandrababu Naidu had planned a surprise for Balayya as he wanted him to elevate to the position of minister from MLA. And yes, there was political advantage to the party as well in the plan as this would strengthen the party in Rayalaseema where it was trailing.

While TDP is doing well in Uttarandhra and Dakshinandhra, it’s lagging behind Opposition YSR Congress in Rayalaseema. Considering that Balakrishna has good fan base in Rayalaseema as most of his films have done fairly well in the region and set several Box Office records, Naidu had planned to use this to strengthen the party and thus further obstruct the beleaguered YSRCP.

However, Balayya said to have gently turned down to Naidu’s offer and cleared way to Lokesh’s induction into the cabinet. It’s learnt that Lokesh would be made minister (IT or Industries portfolio) on the eve of Ugadi.

When media had questioned Balayya about he not being made minister, he said, “I’m never interested in position or power. I don’t want to be minister. I’m happy with what I’ve now.”

On prodded to respond about reports of Lokesh to be named as minister and whether he would welcome it, he responded, “Who am I to welcome him? It’d be party’s call. Whatever party decides, everyone has to follow the line.”

Meanwhile, speculations are rife in TDP that Balayya is doing a great sacrifice for his son-in-law’s future. Lokesh who is presently the TDP National Committee General Secretary is soon expected to be inducted into the state government. Stay tuned for the more developments and insights.

A day after Dr. Richard Beale ruled out conspiracy behind Jayalalithaa’s death, AIADMK MLA PH Pandian on Tuesday alleged that former Tamil Nadu CM, was pushed after an argument with someone at her Poes Garden residence which may have caused her death.

“I was silent since September 22 but whatever has happened in the last 2 days I want to break my silence. I came to know Jaya was depressed and she had an argument with someone at Poes Garden and she collapsed after someone pushed her at Poes Garden residence,” he said.

PH Pandian was sidelined by Jayalalithaa several years ago. He was a speaker during MGR’s rule. His son Manoj Pandian however got a ticket.

Jagan Keeps Option Open On BJP Alliance?

Share

jagan-3

YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy is said to have kept his options open on forging a pre-poll alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party before 2014 elections, in the event of a break-up of alliance between the BJP and the Telugu Desam Party.

A hint to this effect was given by YSR Congress party leader Bhumana Karunakar Reddy in an interview to a Telugu television channel a couple of days ago.

When asked whether there was any chance for the YSR Congress party forging any alliance with another party before 2014 elections, Bhumana did not rule out the possibility of a pact with the BJP.

“We will consider the option when it is really required,” he said.

Apparently, the YSRC is of the view that the BJP would eventually severe its ties with the TDP, the moment it realizes that the latter has no chances of winning the next elections.

And the only alternative for it is to have an alliance with the YSRC, since the BJP desperately needs the support of as many as alliance partners as possible in the next elections as the chances of NDA forming the government on its own would be bleak.

But it is too early to come out openly; hence, Jagan would play his cards close to his chest before deciding on the alliance with the BJP.

It remains to be seen how TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu would counter Jagan’s strategy.

NTR's widow to move court if biopic shows Naidu as hero

Share

lakshmi parvathi

Hyderabad: Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N.T. Rama Rao’s second wife Lakshmi Parvathi has threatened to move court if N. Chandrababu Naidu is portrayed as hero in a proposed film on the life of the late leader.

She said on Tuesday that she will not keep quiet if historical facts were twisted in the biopic which Rama Rao’s son and leading Telugu actor N. Balakrishna plans to produce.

Lakshmi Parvathi said if injustice was meted out to the TDP founder, she would wage a legal battle.

She alleged that Chief Minister Naidu “backstabbed” his father-in-law NTR to usurp power.

Balakrishna on Monday announced that he would produce a film on the life of his father NTR, the legendary Telugu actor and three-time Chief Minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh.

The actor said he would play the role of his father.

He also said the film would tell the entire story of his father, right from his humble beginning as a farmer’s son, his journey to become a superstar and one of the most popular political leaders.

However, a day after his announcement, Lakshmi Parvathi voiced her doubts on how the film would portray the turbulent events of 1995 when Naidu ousted his father-in-law from power.

Bonda Uma, a leader of Telugu Desam Party (TDP), said Lakshmi Parvathi would be the villain in the film.

“She is a villain in real life and she will be villain in the film too. She distanced NTR from people and everybody knows this,” he said.

In another development, Balakrishna met Chief Minister and TDP President Chandrababu Naidu in Vijayawada. Naidu, who claims to be inheritor of NTR’s political legacy, discussed with the actor his plans for the biopic.

Balakrishna is also a TDP leader and represents Hindupur constituency in the state assembly. His daughter is married to Naidu’s son Lokesh.

NTR had married Parvathi, his biographer, just before the 1994 elections, which saw TDP returning to power in the state.

However, her growing interference in party affairs and administration led to Naidu staging a revolt in August 1995. He became Chief Minister with the support of NTR’s sons.

NTR had launched a campaign against Naidu for ‘backstabbing’. He died in January 1996 at the age of 72.

Following his death, Lakshmi Parvathi went into political oblivion.

A popular actor, NTR floated the TDP in 1982 on the slogan of “Telugu self-respect”.

Creating a record of sorts, he came to power within nine months of the formation of the party, ending the monopoly of the Congress in the state politics.

With pro-poor schemes like the Rs 2/kg rice and total prohibition, he went on to become the most popular politician in the state’s history.

Talented Writer Rejected Pawan's Film

Rarely we come across an actor or technician who risks rejecting to be a part of Pawan Kalyan’s film. Noted actor and writer Harshavardhan has now joined this list.

Harsha, who proved his writing skills with movies like Ishq, Gunde Jaari Gallanthayyinde, Manam etc. has divulged that he was approached to write dialogues for Pawan’s project with AM Ratnam. This film was already launched and it would go on floors after Pawan wraps up Trivikram’s directorial. Harsha added that he had to reject the offer of Ratnam as he was planning to turn director.

After two years of struggle, Harsh has recently taken his debut directorial onto floors. The film stars Srimukhi in a key role. Feeling that his dream of becoming a director would be further delayed if he accepted to write for Pawan’s film, the talented writer rejected the opportunity.

Harsha added that he has no regrets as he soon took his debut film as director onto sets. Even before this film could hit screens, the elated writer has announced that his second directorial would star Sudheer Babu.

The much awaited ‘Suyaa Suyaa’ song from Sai Dharam Tej’s upcoming film ‘Winner’ has been unveiled just a while ago. The fact that top anchor Suma Kanakala made her singing debut and another hot anchor Anasuya shook her booty in her first item song, have made this Thaman composition a highly awaited one.

The song doesn’t have that wow factor but Suma’s rustic voice is a big surprise. Athough this is her first song, Suma has impressed with her rendition. Anasuya’s oomph, Raju Sundaram’s dance choreography and Chota K Naidu’s appealing visuals are expected to do the trick for the video version of this Thaman composition.

Trump won't be allowed to Parliament

trump

As the United States President Donald J Trump is turning out to be more problematic for other nations in the world, the red faced United Kingdom parliament speaker John Bercow threw a shocker at him. While Trump banned immigrants from seven Muslim populated nations with an executive order, UK Speaker John opposed him from either entering or addressing at Westminster Hall, the Parliament House of United Kingdom.

In what can be called as an oppositional move made against Prime Minister Theresa May, who invited Trump to Britain, the Speaker said, “I would strongly oppose to an address by President Trump in Westminster Hall.” In his full address, John also said, “Before the imposition of migrant ban, I would myself have been strongly opposed to an address by President Trump and after the imposition, I even more strongly oppose to an address by Trump.”

He further added, “Our opposition to racism and to sexism, and our support for equality before the law and an independent judiciary, are hugely important considerations.” Announcing to a huge applause, Speaker John Bercow made this announcement to a point raised by Labour and Co-operative party leader Stephen Doughty. As John said ‘Trump is not welcome here’, members in house embraced his speech to a huge round of applause.

The speaker speech carrying strong force is apparently a big blow to the new US president who is taking unprecedented steps in the government. Even senior leaders of British, including former PM David Cameron, Conservative party member Edward Leigh and Labour leader Paul Flynn opposed & condemned Trump remarks in the past.
