Stay on Travel Ban: Mad Rush in US flights

There’s a mad rush in the planes leaving to the United States of America. Amidst the latest news that the President Trump’s travel ban could be revoked anytime, people across the various parts of the world have made a beeline to return to the United States.

Since indications from the legal experts saying that the temporary stay could be removed and chances of ban on immigration could be restored after Monday, people are turning out in large numbers to reach US before Monday.

With this, the demand for the seats in the planes to the US is said to be very high. It’s learnt that not even a single seat is vacant in any plane leaving to the state. And this led in the increase of ticket fares in the planes to the US.

After the executive order, over 60,000 visas of the foreigners were said to be cancelled by the immigration officials. Many people whose visas were earlier cancelled have all booked tickets and rushing to the US due to the temporary lift of ban.

For instance, one Amar Alnazar is a student of the Southwest Tennessee community college and holds a green card . He had recently left to the Turkey with his wife-to-be for a 3 month trip. His visa too was cancelled among several others.

Learning the temporary stay on the travel ban, Amar spent over 1000 USD for ticket from Turkey to the New York. There’re many like Amar. Another lady from Egypt, whose visa too was cancelled, is also now returning to the US spending a lot on the ticket. There’re many such who’re rushing to the US.

Trump’s Travel Ban. What it’s all about?

On Jan 27, President Trump had issued a historic executive order temporarily barring refugees and nationals from seven countries from entering the United States. In the name of protecting Americans from terrorism, Trump decided to tighten the US borders and issued temporary travel ban. Travelers from seven predominantly Muslim nations – Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen – as well as vetted refugees from all nations were barred entry to the US. This had created a great furore among the foreigners staying in the US and their loved ones.

Responding to it, Seattle Federal Judge James Robert on Friday (Feb 3) granted temporary restraining order on the immigration ban ordered by President Donald Trump.

After the Federal District Court in Seattle blocked Mr. Trump’s order nationwide, the Justice Department appealed the ruling late on Saturday, saying that the president had the constitutional authority to order the ban and that the court ruling “second-guesses the president’s national security judgment.”

The  federal appeals court on Sunday rejected a request by the Justice Department to immediately restore President Trump’s targeted travel ban. In the legal back and forth over the travel ban, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in San Francisco said a reply from the Trump administration was now due on Monday.

Coming Soon! Nandamuri Family Drama

nanda

From a long time, Nandamuri fans are waiting to see some sensational combinations like Balayya and Jr NTR movie, NTR and Kalyan Ram film or a Balayya and Nara Rohit movie to happen. But never they are getting closer to materialising these projects despite various rumours popping up.

Conclusively one interesting Nandamuri combination is getting ready to take off. It’s nothing but father and son, Hari Krishna and Kalyan Ram’s movie. Recently director Pawan Sadineni who made films like Prema Ishq Kadal and Savitri has narrated a story to Kalyan Ram and it has impressive character graphs for both father and son. Liking the script, immediately this hero cum producer made his 60-year-old dad, who was last seen on screen in 2005, to accept the project.

Currently, pre-production work for the film is going on and as the film has Hari Krishna and Kalyan Ram in the leads, maybe we could expect even Jr NTR featuring in a song, to make it a complete Nandamuri Harikrishna family drama.

Meanwhile Kalyan Ram is making sure that his film with brother NTR under KS Ravindra (Bobby) direction will be wrapped under planned budgets such that he could recover from ISM stroke as a producer very easily.

Hot Topic: Kajal's Kakinada Tour

kajal

From last two days, surprisingly ravishing beauty Kajal Agarwal made couple of appearances in Kakinada town. Thanks for taking up the initiative of spending time with Cancer affected patients. But generally Kajal is far from such events unlike a Samantha who always puts best foot forward for charity.

Like many other Mumbai girls out there who rocking in Telugu and Tamil industries, Kajal is also known for giving top priority to money. Whether it is acting with Chiranjeevi or Rana, opening a shop or attending an audio event, it’s the big pink notes that mattered the most.

That’s why Telugu industry always talks about that ‘commercial’ nature of Kajal whose dates and business are managed by her father. But how did she come forward for this charity event?

Sources tell us that actually, Kajal took part in the inauguration event of a shop in Kakinada and then attended this charity event as well. While she has charged for the inauguration, on the sidelines of it she has graced charity event for free.

Well, if cinema celebrities involve in charity events, then other people also get motivated. Good to see more of star heroines joining the charity brigade.

Why Balayya Taking No Action Against His PA?

For a while, there have been a lot of allegations against the personal assistant of TDP MLA Nandamuri Balakrishna in his assembly constituency Hindupur. Balakrishna’s PA is allegedly taking ‘bribes’ and there have been several reports in media, including pro-TDP media have widely covered it. Yet there has been no proper action against him from Balakrishna. Even the top brass of TDP is silent on this issue despite it’s bringing bad name to CM Chandrababu Naidu. It’s alleged that Chandrababu is being soft on his brother-in-law Balayya.

Since allegations on him are causing a severe damage to party, many TDP leaders from Anantapur have been demanding for the immediate removal of the personal assistant Sekhar.

As there’s a stoic silence from Balayya and his team, a few TDP leaders from Anantapur district are revolting against the party and even decided to put papers if proper action isn’t taken against the PA. Few ZPTCs and MPTCs are getting ready to resign since there’s no proper response from Balayya, party.

It’s been over 25 days Balakrishna’s Gautamiputra Satakarni is released, and the actor-politician is now free from the filmy works. So, people and leaders from constituency are wanting Balayya to intervene into the issue and feel that further delay in the matter would damage Balayya’s name in the constituency.

Rana's Height Forced Them To Redesign Set

Share

rana

Rana’s forthcoming Ghazi is India’s first underwater war film. While only those underwater submarine moving shots or collisions are made in CG using 3D animated models, all the action, drama and emotional episodes in film one see on screen from February 17th are all real and shot completely live when Rana or other artists are performing.

However, the submarine PNS Ghazi set is going to be the highlight. What kinda toil that went into erecting the huge set?

Pakistan submarine Ghazi’s actual length was approximately 300 feet but based on cinema budget and feasible technical grounds, Ghazi technical team designed a 125 feet huge setting in lower tank bund area of Secunderabad.

“We erected 125 feet Ghazi submarine close to scrap market in and around Rani Gunj, Musheerabad, Kavadiguda areas of Secunderabad because 30 to 35 percent material consumed in making Ghazi setting live was used from this scrap market to cut down the expenditure. To give the realistic appeal for Ghazi model and to learn about real time submarine mechanism, we spent three weeks of time in Vizag museum with curator’s permission. During those time periods between 1940 to 71 communication was completely analog and not digital,” Shivam Rao, art director of Ghazi, highlights the passion and dedication behind Ghazi.

All this was on one side of pre production before the entry of PVP and Matinee Entertainment banner into production. Once when Prasad V Potluri of PVP Cinema and Niranjan Reddy of Matinee Entertainments agreed to produce Ghazi with Rana as lead, the whole set had to be redesigned.

“We redesigned the complete submarine setting just before beginning the production phase because our first setting could not accommodate Rana’s height. Producers were very co-operative and a further big submarine was built with three compartments. Designing the interior architecture with propulsion system and armaments used was a challenge.

Except the remains of PNS Ghazi in Visakhatapnam museum, there were no references and evidences to study about USS Diablo (first name for Ghazi submarine) because it was built in 1944 in US, said Shivam Rao, who took it as challenge and erected the set.

Let’s see how it’s going to be seen on screen on Feb 17.

He Only Forced Sasikala To Become CM?

Share

sasi

The manner in which Panneerselvam took over Tamil Nadu Chief Minister’s job after the demise of Amma (Jayalalitha) and mainly his resignation today, one would apparently wonder who and what internal matters are influencing the senior leader of AIADMK. Ever since Selvam took over the top job in Tamil Nadu, AIADMK cadre was left in confusion because of the growing popularity for Sasikala within the party.

Soon after Sasikala was elected as general secretary of the AIADMK last month, state cabinet ministers and other MLAs of their party chose to pitch for Chinnamma to take over the CM’s post. Amid the political row sparked in support of Sasikala, Pannerselvam has resigned today.

Although rumours were earlier abuzz that Pannerselvam was tentatively funding his support for BJP. On top of it, the Dravidian state was abuzz with a rumour that Sasikala has pressurised his party MLAs to dethrone him from power, but he has surprised everyone by making the road easy for party president Sasikala. Even during the fight for Jallikattu, it was widely under discussion that ‘Sasikala had been attempting to light violence through protesters and damage Panneer’s clean-image.’

Finally, he disproved all those false circulations because it is Pannerselvam himself who kind of imposed pressure and forced their party president and Amma’s close aide Sasikala to take up the top job he is leading in state.

Besides asking her to accept party workers’ request, Panner successfully managed to convince her to assume the CM’s post. Even in her official address to party workers later today, the new CM humbly said, “I would thank Panneerselvam for recommending my name to serve the people of Tamil Nadu. I will continue to actively take forward all the initiatives and agenda of Amma in the days to come.”

As Panner chose to continue to be the loyal worker of AIADMK party, he would certainly gain one of the top portfolios in Sasikala’s cabinet.

Rajini's 'Power' shakes Tamil Nadu

Share

rajnikanth1-1

The Superstar of India, with millions of fans across the globe, had never shown penchant for politics and power, although he was and is under huge pressure to join politics in Tamil Nadu state. There were days when his single line statement, prior to elections, advantaged a party and disadvantaged the other, among DMK and AIADMK – that is one evidence which prove his popularity.

Although the actor’s co-stars, who joined politics, including Chiranjeevi, Ambareesh & others tried provoking him to jump into the bandwagon, he silently laughed off but never dared to offer a comment. But, in the recent past, there has been a huge speculation that Superstar would be joining state politics to gain the best advantage of existing political void, after the demise of Amma Jayalalitha.

So, what has added fuel to the fire? – It is Rajinikanth’s sensational statement on ‘Power’ which has created a lot of flutter among political circles and media. In one of his recent statement at a book launch event, the Basha said, ‘I would like to call myself a spiritualist more than an actor. If money, fame are kept on one side and spiritualism on other hand, I would pick spirituality because it has so much power. I am someone who likes power. Don’t mistake me.’

Misunderstanding what Rajinikanth has stated, the Tamil state was abuzz with a large uproar that he’s interested in Political power. Incidentally, it has caught everyone’s attention because of the existing vacuum in state after Amma’s death and growing demand for his political entry. With a view to en-cash his craze among Tamilians, many parties including BJP are playing a watchdog role and never left a chance to join hands with him – Modi’s friendly meet with Rajini during 2014 polls is one best attempt made by BJP. Despite the force from all quarters, he never cared to either divulge an opinion or trash those rumors. But, the Kabali’s recent opinion on ‘Power’ was misreported as Political Power, which means nothing to him.

However, the actor delivered a statement and ensured things fall back quickly. ‘The power I was mentioning is Spiritual power,’ he clarified.

Now that she is majorly getting mother roles or senior lady of the family in second innings, Radikaa has made up her mind to induce some unconventionality into the characters she would be playing going forward.

Hrithik Tried To Spoil My Career: Top Actress

hritik

The ugly dispute between Bollywood star hero Hrithik Roshan and heroine Kangana Ranaut has been going on from longtime. After allegations and counter-allegations by both parties publicly, the issue appeared to have calmed down. But not exactly. It all started with Kangana’s subtle insult -“silly ex”, and it turned into a full-blown mudslinging match, where legal notices were exchanged, private emails were made public and accusations were made. While Hrithik has maintained silence, Kangana has been vocal since day one, claiming that Hrithik was in a romantic relationship with her “behind closed doors.”

Digging the topic again in her latest interaction with media, Kangana alleged that Harithik went and cried to the entire industry claiming his ‘innocence’ and tired to ‘sabotage’ her career. She alleged that Hrithik ‘tried’ to ‘spoil’ her career. “Many friends of mine have told me that Hrithik approached them with evidence against me. After this they contacted me and asked about the truth. But, I haven’t tried to explain my side yet. Hrithik has worked relentlessly in Bollywood to spoil my career,” Kangana was quoted as saying. The ‘Queen’ actress further added that the evidence Hrithik had shown her friends isn’t significant. She said Hrithik ‘tried’ to haraas her. “Someone impersonating as Hrithik tried to get into my good graces. This happened because of Hrithik. Instead of clarifying the incident with the impersonator, Hrithik says ‘You must say sorry’.”

Adding more fuel to the ongoing fued, Kangana alleged that the impersonator is none other than Hrithik himself. Kangana also dismissed the rumours that she allegedly sent 1439 emails to Hrithik, Kangana told in recent interview that she doesn’t write “such crap” as she is a “certified screenwriter” from New York Film Academy.

Let’s see how Hrithik will respond to the latest volley of allegations made by Kangana.

Lagadapati Rajagopal, who is popular for his surveys and political analyses, is at it again. Predicting the results of forthcoming UP Assembly elections, Lagadapati stated that BJP would come out of flying colours in the polls as he claimed that the people of UP have welcomed PM Narendra Modi’s move to ban high-valued currency. He said that the internal feud within SP and weak BSP, Congress would also benefit BJP.

Veering towards Andhra Pradesh, Lagadapati said that TDP is stronger and likely to win AP in 2019 polls as well if the same situation continues. He blamed weak YSRCP for this. According to him, TDP is stronger in urban regions and cities, towns but it’s slightly trailing behind YSRCP in rural areas.

He reasoned that urban youths are with TDP as they seem to have understood the situations like special conditions post bifurcation, financial deficit and Centre’s meagre help to the state.He reiterated that he took political ‘sanyasam’. He made the aforementioned comments with media during his visit to Chittoor.

We have seen many examples where the star kids have failed to carry forward the legacy of their legendary fathers.It seems that ace director SS Rajamouli’s son has a different plan to nullify those expectations on him. Instead of trying his hand at direction, fearing he would have to carry the burden of his father’s image, Karthikeya has cleverly ventured into film production and assisted his father on Baahubali.

Next, he started a firm named ‘Showing Business’ and has done stuff like cutting of trailers, shooting making videos of films etc. Now, Karthikeya has made his debut as a singer and shocked Rajamouli himself who never knew this talent in his son. He sang the ‘Boogie Woogie’ in ‘Showtime’, a film directed by his uncle Kanchi and composed by Keeravani MM.

Karthikeya is slowly proving to be a true multifaceted talent. Movie lovers wonder if he possess the same skill in direction department or not.
