Senior politician Amar Singh, who used to be a friend of Bachchan family, has surprised everyone by revealing that Bollywood mega Star Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan lived separately and that there are issues between Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Jaya.

Reportedly, during an interview given to clear the allegations that he caused the split in Samajwadi Party (Mukhesh and Akhilesh Yadav in UP), Amar Singh didn’t stick to the point and dragged the Bachchans and even Ambanis in the discussion.

‘I am being blamed for every possible rift in India. When the Ambanis split, I was blamed for causing it. People have made similar allegations about me and the Bachchan family. In fact, even before I met them, Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan were living in separate bungalows,’ Amar Sigh reportedly quoted.

This came as a huge shocker as Big B and Jaya couple is said to one of the highly celebrated in Bollywood. Last year, he alleged that Big B had asked him not to take Jaya in his party, and this statement had also created quite a storm then.

Singh has also revealed that he was not responsible for the issues between Jaya and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Keeping his involvement aside, Singh made it official that there is a rift between the Bachchan ladies.

We need to how Bachchan family responds to this mudslinging act of Amar Singh.

Superstar Mahesh Babu is literally exhibiting his dominance in the last five years in Hyderabad circuits when it comes this Most Desirable Men list. Though many Bachelors try to give him some tough competition, our married actor woos with his stunning charms, handsome demeanour and powerful presence. However this time, he lost that No.1 rank again. Yes, he keeps on getting and losing it.

In an online poll that’s being conducted by popular English daily Times Of India in Hyderabad, Mahesh is the top contender always. Way back in 2012 and 2013, he’s the Most Desirable No.1 hero for Hyderabadis. Also in 2013, he is the Most Desirable Man for whole of India as well. But in 2014, Rana Daggubati dominated Mahesh and pushed him to No.2 spot, only to allow the Superstar into top slot in 2015.

Many thought that the Srimanthudu actor will retain his No.1 spot yet again in 2016 as well, but he has fallen to No.2 position again. This time, he’s not beaten by any actor. After winning the coveted Mr World crown last year, Hyderabadi boy Rohit Khandelwal literally won the love of everyone from the Pearl City. He has now received enormous votes and became No.1 on the Most Desirable Men Hyderabad 2016 list, thereby beating Mahesh.

Well, losing rank is not new for Mahesh and it happens for him only to claim his position again next year. Though these ranks are dependent on votes basis, definitely the hype and hoopla around a celebrity through his work, public appearances and achievements are the ones that create impact mindsets of people. Wait for Mahesh to comeback.

Biggest Villain In Samantha's Life Is..

From charming the screen with ravishing glamour to spell binding audiences with immense performance, gorgeous Chennai girl Samantha Ruth Prabhu has no looking back in Tollywood. However, recently one villain entered into her life and people say that the villain is playing hide and seek with her career.

Yes, none but her “Fate”, is the big villain, say many. Once Samantha opened up about her love life with Naga Chaitanya and the ensuing marriage, she’s getting no offers here. Though Nagarjuna and Chay are quite progressive thinkers and want their family’s new member to take further work in cinema industry as a heroine, somehow directors and producers are not willing to cast her. Some say they are afraid of Nagarjuna, which couldn’t be true, but many feel that married heroines won’t suit Telugu film industry.

Recently when everyone is looking at films like Gautamiputra Satakarni and Khaidi No. 150, they wondered how come mid-30 year old ‘aged’ looking hotties got such chances but not an youngster like Samantha who just turned 29 year old. Looking at this, definitely we have to believe that ‘fate’ is the biggest villain in her career. Not to degrade any, but Samantha surely deserves better and more opportunities in Tollywood, isn’t it?

Buzz is that Samantha is once again being considered for Ram Charan and Sukumar’s movie, post the ouster of Anupama Parameswaran, while she’s already playing a pivotal role in Mahanati Savitri’s biopic as a journalist who sees the life and times of the Versatile Telugu actress through her eyes. In case if Samantha grabs these big chances, definitely we have to say ‘fate’ has turned plates yet again, otherwise we could comfortably call it a villain.

If resorting to gang rape on a woman was not an enough heinous crime, three young men have crossed all the limits of humanity by live streaming it on the most popular social networking site, Facebook.

Reportedly, three men in Sweden capital Stockholm gang raped a woman and broadcast the video in a closed facebook group having over 60,000 members.

Police were tipped off by a woman who had seen the video. Speaking to a local tabloid, she said that she had seen one of the men tearing off the woman’s clothes and lie on top of her while she was screaming for help. ‘One of the men was holding a gun,’ she added.

Acting quickly on the lead, police arrested the three culprits and confirmed that they too had seen the video. All the three perpetrators were aged between 18 and 25. Police said that several thousand people have watched the live telecast and they have also urged the users as well as Facebook to delete the complete footage.

Facebook started live-streaming feature a year ago in order to let people share information and other events with a wider audience. However, some miscreants with criminal mind are using the technology to popularize crime and hatred in the society.

No to Rakul, Samantha Confirmed

Ram Charan’s next film with director Sukumar has been in news for the past few days. As Anupama Parameswaran, who was the initial choice to pair up with Charan, exited from the project, naturally all eyes are on who’s going to be the lead lady of Charan-Sukumar film.

The latest we hear is that Samantha would be the choice. Already the team is engaged in talks with Sam and mostly Sam would be roped in for the role.

Although Rakul’s name was also there among the choices, but her name is dropped as she was the heroine in Charan’s last two films – Bruce Lee, Dhruva. Since Charan doesn’t want it to be a back-to-back combination and done two films with her in a row, he wanted to have another top heroine. Also rumours of Ram Charan’s alleged closeness with Rakul are also behind dropping Rakul’s name.

Even Kajal is perfect choice, but now that she just did film with Chiranjeevi in Khaidi No.150, Charan is suspicious that how fans, audiences look at it.

So, going by all these permutations and combinations, it’s learnt that Charan has voted for Samantha. An official confirmation regarding the same is awaited shortly.

Meanwhile, the yet-to-be-titled film will have a mega launch on Jan 30th which will see Mega Star Chiranjeevi as the chief guest. Stay tuned to Gulte for more updates.

Anupama Hits Back At Charan – Sukumar Film

Ever since we broke the news of Anupama denied role in Ram Charan-Sukumar film, the news spread like wildfire in film circuits. Although actors or actresses being replaced after initial confirmation is not something new and happens regularly, few media houses have blown it out of proportion.

As it’s widely reported that Anupama was sacked from Ram Charan-Sukumar film, she has retorted with a strong reply to her detractors.

“As I look back on my life, I realize that every time I thought I was rejected from something good, I was actually being redirected to something better,” Anupama posted a quote on her Twitter page.

Though she hasn’t directly talked about being ousted from Ram Charan-Sukumar film, it’s evident that she posted the above message soon after the news of her removal from the movie broke out.

However, many of Charan fans weren’t happy with Anupama’s post as she said she’d get “something better” than “good”.

'Cross-Promotion Helped Khaidi & GPSK'

As Chiranjeevi’s Khaidi No.150 and Balayya’s GPSK were clashing at the box office, many predicted that one of the films would eat away the revenues of the other. However, surprising all, both the films have found their niche audiences and become decent hits. Analyzing what worked in the favor of the films, GPSK director Krish said that cross-promotion really helped both the films.

‘Actually, the films of both these legends releasing at the same time was a blessing in disguise. I and Balayya garu made sure to speak good about Khaidi No.150 in all of our interviews and Chiranjeevi garu did the same for our film. Had these films released on separate occasions, neither film would have garnered so much positive publicity,’ Krish explained.

He has once again used serious words at some fanatic fans who resorted to trolling of competing heroes. ‘I felt ashamed of going to twitter for the past 10 days. Even well educated people are using demeaning language against legends such as Chiru and Balayya. Because of the shameful acts of these caste-fanatic fans, the true fans are also getting backlash from average movie goers,’ he said.

Not certainly one of those seducing acts of Bollywood bomb Sunny Leone, but the actress is definitely hiding behind the curtains and peeping through the gaps.

Sunny Leone is traveling along Superstar Shahrukh in train for Raees promotions and her Laila O Laila reboot is already a chart-buster.

Sunny though got ready to travel in train for promotions, the crowd at each stopping station frightened her the most and she has to hide behind the window curtains. Looking at that face, one can understand how tensed she was at that moment!

Chiru Breaks Own Record after 15 Years

With a comeback after almost a decade, Megastar Chiranjeevi emerged out as the biggest gainer of Sankranthi-2017. Khaidi No:150 re-wrote almost all the Non-Baahubali box-office records and stunned the trade analysts with humongous numbers.

When we speak about box-office numbers-US or India- typically it’s the trademark ‘Baahubali’ everyone compares with. But, when it comes to Tuni in Andhra Pradesh, it was Chiranjeevi’s Indra that holds No.1 for last one-and-half decade.

In the year 2002, the vintage blockbuster ‘Indra’ created a sensation by collecting 18 lakhs share in Tuni (East Godavari district). And 15 years down the line, no other film smashed that Mega record, not even Baahubali. Unbelievable…right? But, it’s totally true!

Finally, it is Megastar Chiranjeevi himself who chased down his best with Khaidi No:150.

On 11th day from release, Khaidi managed to mint 18.74 lakhs in Tuni and it’s the latest sensation in town! And there’s more- the film is pacing towards 20 lakhs share with house-full boards on week days too.

Pawan Kalyan is giving full throttle support for planned AP special status silent protest by Andhra youth at Vizag RK beach. Through Jana sena, Pawan kalyan tweeted two intense posters calling out loud “Desh Bachao”, a protest musical album (available on Janasena official youtube channel).

The actor-politician is breathing fire on opportunistic divisive and criminal politics, which act as barricades between APstate and special status. While many film stars announced their support for this silent protest, people of AP are expecting big league film stars to join hands like whole Kollywood filmdom came on one word to support Jallikattu.

For Telugu people, if anchors like Suma and Jhansi are completely known as persons inside TV, Udayabhanu is the queen of reality shows. Not maybe a perfect reality show, but she’s the first one to interact with college going youths in live and made everyone turn heads towards her program Hrudayanjali.

Even till recently, she stunned people with her Dance show hosting, as she takes to floor most of the time and showcases her dancing skills. While her Rajasekhara song in “Leader” is the only smoking hot item number she has ever done in her kitty, apart from her narrow appearance in Julayi title song sequence, Udayabhanu always remains popular anchor of Telugu people. But from last one year, she gave her time completely to personal life.

Nearly 12 years post marriage, this top TV show host and her husband have planned for kids. She married her husband Vijay Kumar in 2004, who happens to be in construction business right now. On August 28th last year, she gave birth to two baby daughters and that was a joyous moment ever in her life despite of all the achievements she made on television.

Other day few media friends have visited this top shot anchor and spent beautiful time with her kids. A close sourced shared with us, Udayabhanu named her daughters as Yuvi Nakshatra and Bhoomi Aaradhya. Wonderful names, aren’t they?

Will Vizag Turn Another Chennai?

If the response from the people on social media to the opposition parties’ call for Visakhapatnam rally on January 26 demanding special category status to AP is any indication, the Rama Krishna Beach might as well witness a sea of humanity on the lines of Marina beach in Chennai, where people gathered in lakhs to demand lifting of ban on Jallikattu.

The hashtag #APDemandsSpecialStatus on twitter and Facebook has been receiving tremendous response from the youth for the last 24 hours.

The YSR Congress party, which has given a call for the silent protest at the R K Beach on January 26, has been receiving calls from thousands of youth, who took to Twitter and Facebook to join the protest at the beach in support of special category status.

If reports are to be believed, actor-politician Pawan Kalyan also might join the protest rally at the beach. Even Telangana IT minister KT Rama Rao was sent an invite to attend the protest being planned on social media.

Apparently, chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu is panicky, as he and his party leaders have started attacking the Opposition for calling the rally at Visakha beach. In all probability, the police might deny permission to the youth to hold the rally on January 26 citing security reasons.

Chandrababu Laughs Off Pawan's Tweets

CM Chandrababu Naidu has laughed off to the comparison of AP’s Special Status to Jallikattu and asked how one could compare the both. Chandrababu shot back, “Do anyone who are asking for Special Status know what are the benefits they’re going to get for AP?”

“I want them to read out the benefits that state gets with Special Status. I had asked long before. No one has come out yet,” Chandrababu countered to Pawan Kalyan and others who are all fighting for Special Status to AP.

“Also, I don’t understand what’s wrong in accepting all the benefits that State going to get without just the name ‘Special Status’? Should I say no to them? Why to fight for the name ‘Special Status’ when we going to get all the benefits without that name?” Chandrababu Naidu explained his stand once again.

Meanwhile, Chandrababu has answered all the questions, doubts raised by Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan. Responding to Pawan Kalyan’s question over injustice being meted to farmers in Polavaram and Amaravati, Chandrababu said, “Each and everyone will get the compensation. I’m directing the district collectors to immediately look into it. But the problem is no farmer has given us bank account details to deposit the compensation. So, how government can credit money without bank account details?”

Chandrababu also said that it’s not possible to give compensation to each and every member in the family, compensation to minors in the family and other individuals separately. “All I can say is that injustice will not mete out to anyone in my governance,” Chandrababu made it clear. Chandrababu also told Pawan to know properly about the situation before talking.

“It’s always easy to talk. The real challenge is in executing. It’s a Herculean task. We’ll look into all the concerns raised by farmers and Pawan,” Chandrababu answered.

Talking about Rayapati Sambasiva Rao’s company Transstroy India Limited doing Polavaram project, Chandrababu clarified, “Transstroy is out. Government itself carrying the operation works of Polavaram Project.”

Earlier, few days ago few farmers of Polavaram, Amaravati regions have met Pawan and explained him their woes. Pawan reacted and shot off a volley of questions to the government through media.

Naidu Says It Was Not A Paid Visit To Davos

Ever since Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu left for Davos in Switzerland to attend the World Economic Summit meeting last week, the Opposition parties, particularly, the YSR Congress party has been alleging that the visit was a hoax and that Naidu had gone to Davos on a paid tour but not through invitation.

On Monday, his office tried to give an explanation brushing aside the allegation that it was a paid visit.

“The news in circulation in some quarters that the ‘Chief Minister was not a special invitee to the World Economic Forum at Davos and that his name did not figure in the list of speakers’ is patently false and amounts to false propaganda. To expose these lies and to set the record straight, we are pleased to provide to the press the WEF invitation letter and related documents,” the CMO said.

The CMO released a letter sent by Philipp Rosler, who is a managing board member of the WEF, which ‘invited’ Naidu for the conference. It also released another photo which had Naidu’s name mentioned in a list of speakers at a group discussion. Naidu’s entire schedule through the week was also released to the media.

It may be mentioned that YSR Congress party alleged that Naidu was never invited by the WEF as being claimed but he paid a whopping $ 3.22 lakh as delegate fee from the government coffers to attend the conference.

Similarly, AP Congress Committee also alleged that there was no transparency involved in the Chief Minister’s WEF visits. He was simply taking people of the state for a grand ride in the name of attracting investments, former Speaker Nadendla Manohar said.

Anupama Parameswaran is out of Ram Charan’s next film. The A..Aa beauty, who is riding high with the success of Shatamanam Bhavati, got a huge shocker as she was ousted from the film.

While exact reasons for Anupama’s exit are not revealed, it’s learnt that Anupma seems to be a misfit alongside Ram Charan as she looks so younger than Charan and hence Charan and Sukumar gently informed Anupama about the same. The actress said to have taken it in her own stride.

Earlier during Sankranti, Anupama herself took to twitter to share the happy news that she would be part of Ram Charan and Sukumar’s next film. Going by her tweet, it was evident that Anupama was on cloud nine and definitely she wouldn’t have expected such a shocker in short time.

The search for female lead opposite Charan is going on. The names of Keerthy Suresh, Amala Paul and few others are in consideration.

Meanwhile, makers are planning to launch the film in a grand way on Jan 31st with who’s who of Tollywood. Megastar Chiranjeevi is going to be the chief guest for the muhurat.
