Former Union Minister and Tollywood actor Chiranjeevi on Monday said that the BJP-led NDA government failed in providing clean governance as promised and said that the party would face a drubbing in the 2019 General Elections.

Speaking to a television channel about his upcoming movie Khaidi No. 150 here, the Congress leader said that the Congress party would win the 2019 elections hands down.

The actor-turned politician said that the people who suffered due to note ban will definitely teach a lesson to the Modi government by voting them out. Congress should turn this stride in its favor, Chiranjeevi said.

The actor also said that had his erstwhile Praja Rajyam won the elections, there would have been social justice in the state.

Veteran actor and filmmaker Mohan Babu has the reputation of talking straight from the heart and he doesn’t mince words even while criticizing his own children.

Last night, while speaking at the audio launch event of his elder son Manchu Vishnu’s upcoming film ‘Luckunnodu’, Mohan Babu gave a sweet warning to Vishnu.

“Vishnu.. I want to give a warning to you. Don’t think as I am saying this in public, when you did the mistake on public platform, I have to correct it on the same stage. Recently, I have seen in TV, you were saying, “generally, I don’t attend my own audio launches”. That’s a mistake.” “It’s your responsibility to attend your audio events and when other heroes invite you for their events, you have to oblige them out of respect. Don’t talk like some heroes who say they don’t like to attend audio events, that’s like blowing one’s own trumpet. We shouldn’t do that,” said the veteran actor in his bid to caution his son.

Vishnu was seen blushing and smiling while his dear daddy was smoothly ridiculing him on stage.

Dhruva’s story has come to its end. Even though the film’s collections kicked off on a dull note on December 9th, positive reviews and good word of mouth helped the movie register decent numbers in the long run, leaving the trade pundits surprised.

Dhruva’s successful overseas run was a record in Ram Charan’s career. The film is Charan’s first ever million dollar feat and it went on to gross nearly $1.5 million, with 25 screens being added in the 5th week.

Due to its genre, many thought that Dhruva would not even cross the 50 crore share mark in its full run. However, the film went on to collect nearly 56 crores from Andhra, Ceded and Nizam, bringing cheers to many.

Unfortunately, Dhruva is just 4 crores short of getting the hit status as the film’s theatrical rights are valued at 60 crores. Still, Dhruva managed to brave the demonetization effect and the initial backlash from mass movie lovers.

In its final run, Dhruva grossed 90 crores and in Nizam the movie broke even with a 15.35 crores share and earned nearly 2 crores profits for its buyers. However, the movie has made some losses for its Ceded buyers and recovered only 6.60 crores on its 9 crores investment.

In Vizag, Dhruva entered profits by collecting a share of 5.25 crores. From both the Telugu states, Dhruva has collected 40.5 crore where as it notched up 6.8 crores from Karnataka. Finally, Dhruva’s box-office​ result can be termed as ‘Above Average’.

If not megastar, Pawan Kalyan was expected to become a hot topic after the ‘Boss is Back’ event but surprisingly, Naga Babu has stolen the limelight. The mega brother’s outburst at the event against Yandamuri and RGV is inviting appraisal from a section of mega fans and criticism from others.

Afresh, an NRI has given a serious suggestion to mega family asking them to keep Naga Babu away from events of mega family.

Going into details, choreographer Johnny master, who composed dances for megastar in Khaidi No.150 has the other day participated in a TV live show to share his experience of working with megastar with NRI callers.

Much to the shock of Johnny master, an NRI caller, claiming to be an ardent fan of megastar, brought up the Naga Babu issue and said, ‘Please ask megastar to keep Naga Babu away from mega family events. His language at the ‘Boss is Back’ event was too crass. People have their own opinions and he shouldn’t have spoken about Yandamuri in such impolite manner. One should give answer to criticism with our actions but not with public outburst’.

The caller opined that Nagababu’s acts were spoiling the reputation of mega family and thus he needed to be kept away. Poor Johnny master had to calmly listen as he was put into a tricky situation by the caller.

Whenever a Salman Khan movie or a Shah Rukh Khan movie releases, there will be a huge buzz among their fans and trade circles. But it’s Aamir Khan who releases all his films amidst a low buzz but goes on to wreak havoc on box-office.

Bollywood’s first 100 crore movie (Ghajini), first 200 crore movie (3 Idiots) and first 300 crore movie (PK) are all courtesy Aamir Khan. And now, Aamir’s Dangal has surpassed PK’s lifetime business of 340.8 crores and entered the 350 crore club, first ever feat by any Bollywood film star.

The above records are proof enough that Aamir Khan is his own competition and that the two other Khan heroes are still miles be him. Dangal is still collecting at least 10 crores a day and entering the 400 crore club seems to be a cakewalk.

Interestingly, apart from Ghajini and Dhoom, all of Aamir’s highest grossing movies were critically acclaimed and socially relevant movies, line 3 Idiots, PK and the latest Dangal. This indeed makes Aamir a class apart from Salman and Shah Rukh.
