Chocolate Hero’s Itching Beard!

Young hero Nikhil is working very hard to wipe off his chocolate boy image with new flick ‘Keshava’ in Sudheer Varma direction produced by Abhishek Pictures. The action and revenge drama script runs with a specific tagline, revenge is a dish best served cold. Like every film is made special with Nikhil’s indifferent script choice, ‘Keshava’ also followed the suit.

‘I play a student from Rajahmundry suffering with rare heart disorder with heart placed on right side of chest which makes him susceptible to stress and cannot afford to get angry which can prove fatal. He is on a revenge mission to kill few people. How such heard patient completes the revenge drama is UPS with out-and-out stylized action on the lines of Kill Bill.

I am performing the stunts on own without body double. Bollywood fight masters trained me. To look gritty, I am sporting a rugged look with a grown beard throughout the film. This is first time I am moving away from regular chocolate boy image. It’s more than a month I’ve got the beard and its itching. One more month is left for shooting,’ Nikhil said.

Wiping off all rumors on Chiranjeevi’s ‘Khaidi No 150’ release date, pre release event and trailer launch, producer Ramcharan took on Facebook to interact with his followers providing complete clarity about the Mega 150.

‘Initially we thought of releasing KN 150 on January 12 but as Balakrishna’s Gauthami Puthra Satakarni is already announced on same date, we decided to release Khaidi No 150 on Jan 11. Dad was also of opinion that it is not good to release two big films on same day. So, we are going on January 11.

This cannot be called a clash because every Sankranthi, we will have two big films. My Nayak and Mahesh Babu SVSC released and both did well. I wish Krish and Balakrishna film will also do well.

About the pre release event, we postponed the date from Jan 4th to 7th due to some permission issues. Dasari Narayana Rao and K Raghavendra Rao are to grace pre release event as chief guests at Haailands Ground on Guntur-Vijayawada highway.

I will meet and invite babai (Pawan Kalyan) for the event today. He will decide whether to come or not. But, several film celebrities and Mega Fans will be present.

My second production on Konidela banner will be with dad Chiranjeevi as hero. As and when story and script is officially locked, I will make a formal announcement,” Ramcharan said.

Pawan Kalyan 48 Hours Ultimatum to Naidu!

Pawan Kalyan’s tour to Uddanam addressing the kidney patients issue has become a subject of special importance in Telugu states because the problem is intense and victims are losing lives due to AP Government negligence. Pawan’s direct entry into Uddanam village near Ichapuram to assess the complexity ended with passing of 48 hours ultimatum to AP CM Chandrababu Naidu.

As per WHO reports, Srikakulam region is in top 3 places of the world with high concentration of Chronic Kidney Diseases. Pawan Kalyan demanded the State and Central Governments to formulate a high level expert doctor committee to study and analyze the problem at root level.

‘Instead of investing crores on building new capital and conducting Pushkaram events, why can’t Govt spend few crores to setup a dialysis centre here? Government should formulate special health committees in next 48 hours and address the issue offering health packages rescuing the poor.

A five member committee headed by Dr Hari Prasad will compile a report on behalf of Jana Sena and submit it in next 15 days by personally meeting CM Chandrababu Naidu.

There is a medical emergency in Uddanam. But, it is so sad that none of the elected representatives raised their voice before State and Central Governments. Centre has lakhs of crores deposited in Banks after demonetization and State Govt supported it. Despite there is huge money with health ministry to spend, there is nothing allocated for kidney patients. If Governments fail to break the mystery behind Uddanam kidney diseases, I will personally lead a mass agitation,’ Pawan Kalyan said.

Did TDP Spoiled Plans of Khaidi? Chiru Will Answer

Rumors are widespread among certain Mega circles saying Nandamuri Balakrishna has connived with AP CM and his brother-in-law Nara Chandrababu Naidu to spill cold water on the plans of a grand pre-release event of Chiranjeevi’s Khaidi No.150 that was scheduled to be held on 4th Jan in Vijayawada.

After announcing the altered date, 7th Jan, and venue, Haailand Grounds in Vijayawada, to hold the same event, megastar’s close aide and producer Allu Aravind said that Chiru himself would explain the reasons behind the cancellation of the event during his address at the rescheduled function.

Megastar is expected to carefully use his words while speaking out on the event cancellation. Even a minor word against the TDP govt. has the potential to create a tense situation among Mega and TDP cadres and it may affect his film’s theatrical release.

Interim, Allu Aravind also clarified the biggest question, will Pawan Kalyan attend the event? Aravind firmly said no and cited Pawan’s busy schedule as the reason. However, the remaining Mega brigade is least expected to miss the event.

Nikhil's Heart on Right Side of Chest

nikil

Young tollywood hero Nikhil, who has recently scored a big hit with ‘Ekkadiki Pothavu Chinnavada’, will be seen playing yet another different character in his new film ‘Keshava’.

Remember the rare disorder of Nikhi’s character in ‘Surya vs Surya’ which prohibits him from getting exposed to the Sun? In ‘Keshava’ also, the actor will be having a rare disorder, ‘heart on the right side of chest’.

Nikhil revealed that because of this rare heart condition, his character is extremely vulnerable to stress. He can’t afford to get angry or tensed or run as even a slight physical or mental exertion can prove fatal. What makes the film more interesting is, a character having such vulnerability being on a mission to kill some people to take revenge.

He added that how he kills the bad guys without getting angry makes up an exhilarating and interesting revenge drama.

Sudheer Varma, who earlier directed Nikhil in hit film ‘Swamy Ra Ra’, is directing ‘Keshava’, which has the caption, ‘Revenge is Best Served Cold’.

Why Can’t PVP Question Mahesh?

mahesh-pvp

Producer Prasad V Potluri’s ego seems to have deeply hurt when director Vamsy Paidipally shifted his camp from Pvp to Dil Raju, Vyjayanthi Movies for a film with Mahesh Babu as hero. After ‘Brahmotsavam’ and ‘Oopiri,’ there were long claims everywhere in media regarding Mahesh, Pvp and Vamsy film.

But, Cinejosh was the only website to have quashed these rumors on existence of such combination. Our news reporting has come true today with a big controversy brewed and Pvp approached producer’s council accusing Vamsy Paidipally of breaching an agreement.

Truth is Vamsy Paidipally was so eager to join hands with Mahesh Babu just like Vamsy Paidipally. Later, it was Namrata’s decision to leave Pvp compound because of a few obvious reasons. Now that Pvp is feared as it might jeopardize his image as big shot producer, he is blazing all guns at Vamsy. Why isn’t Pvp questioning Mahesh and Dil Raju rather than targeting Vamsy who is a mere director and his duty is to work wherever the job is offered.

Just a day after Nandamuri Balakrishna’s 100th film ‘Gauthami Puthra Satakarni’ announced the release date as January 12th, here comes the declaration from Mega camp that Chiranjeevi’s ‘Khaidi No 150’ will be hitting the screens a day early on Jan 11th.  Till yesterday, they were contemplating on Jan 11th, 12th and 13th but now the decision has come out.

Arriving a day before GPSK will be a big advantage for Mega Star because number of opening screens and thus the probability of breaking opening day records will be high. Now, the immediate onus will be to hike the promotions and keep the film on everyone’s tongue.

VV Vinayak is said to be in Chennai presently to wrap up the final sound mixing. He might be back in Hyderabad in a day or two depending upon commencement of pre release function. Meanwhile, Chiranjeevi and Charan are most likely to arrange a special press meet in day or two to speak about trailer launch and pre release grand occasion. Finally, Mega Fans would be delighted and countdown begins for Jan 11.

Hoardings War: Chiru Seriously Looks At Balayya's House

There has already been enough bad blood between mega and Nandamrui fans ever since Chiranjeevi’s Khaidi No. 150 and Balakrishna Nandamuri’s Gautamiputra Satakarni were pegged for Sankranthi clash. It seems that the latest promotional acts are aggravating these fan wars.

We have already cautioned a few days ago, reporting that the team of Khaidi No.150 was planning to book the hoardings and lollipops near Balakrishna’s house in Jubilee Hills, which could be seen by Nandamuri fans as a domineering act of mega coterie.

As Sankranti is all braced up for the most awaited Box Office clash between two titans Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna, tempers are running high as fans a

Our concern has come true as a poster of Khaidi No.150 has been placed on the huge hoarding in front of Balayya’s house. Moreover, the posture of Chiru in the poster is being deciphered by Nandamuri fans as if the megastar was inviting Balayya for a fight with his fierce and angry looks.

There are many hoardings and posters of both the films have filled up several parts of Hyderabad but this particular poster has become controversial as it stand right in front of Balayya’s house. Although the team of Khaidi No.150 might not have wanted to incite fan wars through this poster, unfortunately, it is doing the same.

On the other hand, some mega fans are blaming Balayya for influencing AP CM Chandrababu Naidu to thwart the plans of megastar holding a pre-release event in Vijayawada. The earlier comments of Krish and Allu Arjun have also been used as opportunities by some fans to aggravate the unhealthy atmosphere between the mega and Nandamuri camps.

Are the makers purposefully resorting to such controversial acts as the release date is approaching or is it just the over-enthusiasm of fans that is resulting in fan wars?

Good News: Service Tax Not Mandatory At Hotels

Share

tax

In a major relief to food lovers and occasional diners, the Union Minister for Food & Public Distribution, Consumer Affairs, Ram Vilas Paswan stated that paying service tax at hotels and restaurants is only at customer’s discretion.

“Restaurants are billing service charges in addition to taxes. Service charge is optional. Consumer has a discretion to pay or not. Customers who are not satisfied with services in any hotel or restaurant need not pay service charges,” the minister said.

Until now, at least 5-20 percent service tax is levied by the hotels on the overall food bills, apart from the Swachh Bharat Cess and other taxes, irrespective of the kind of service provided to them. But now, customers can refuse to pay the service charge printed on their bills if they are not satisfied with their dining experience.

The Central government, in a press release yesterday, has also directed the state governments to “sensitize the companies, hotels and restaurants in the states regarding aforementioned provisions of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986.”

The state governments are also asked to advise the hotels and restaurants to clearly display information at the appropriate place in the hotels and restaurants that the service charges are discretionary and that a customer dissatisfied with the services can have it waived off.

Hero Suriya is usually cool and composed. Rarely he loses his temper. But in one such incident in the past Suriya had issued a public statement and staged walkout of the film Dhruva Natchathiram, which was under pre-production stage then.

Apparently, the film took longtime during the scripting stage and writer-director Gautham Menon’s delay seem to have irked Suriya which resulted in Suriya quitting the project.

But that is past. Suriya said to have patched up with Gautham Menon now. And the duo is in talks like before.

A man was arrested on Monday for hacking into actress Kareen Kapoor Khan’s personal account. When questioned, he claimed to be a big fan of hers and reasoned that he just wanted to meet and talk to her.

Interestingly, the arrested man is a 26-year-old paramilitary trooper from Chhattisgarh. After the arrest, he said that while searching for Kareena’s mobile number on internet, he stumbled upon her PAN card details. Soon a notorious idea struck him and he hacked into her income tax account and filed the declaration form for 2016-17.

Kareena’s chartered accountant found out this illegitimate act when he was about to filer her income tax declaration. Cyber-crime police were immediately alerted by the actress and the accused was tracked down in no time.

It is understandable that fans adore their favorite actors but their obsession sometimes lands them in troubles like these.

Although it’s quite common for actors to co-produce or produce their own films. However, it is needless to tell that Akshay has always been the dear friend of Salman since early days.

Telugu Audience Very Wise!

Share

balayya

Rather than blaming audience for not adoring experimental and content rich films, here is most talented writer Sai Madhav Burra put it straight on the mindset of industry as a whole for not making genuine and quality films.

‘Telugu audiences are the best, wise and most versatile in world. They encourage films in all genres, given a condition that directors and technicians take responsibility in presenting the movie and content honestly. There is nothing like a difference between commercial and class cinema. We watched both ‘Shankarabharanam’ and ‘Vetagadu.’ What’s the genre for ‘Shankarabharanam?’ Can’t it be called a commercial cinema when it got enough success? Again, we adored both contrasting films ‘Shiva’ and ‘Geethanjali.’ So, righteousness at work always pays,” Sai Madhav Burra said.

Currently, Sai Madhav penned the dialogues for ‘Gauthami Puthra Satakarni’ releasing on 12th of this month. Meanwhile, his dialogues in GPSK trailer are reverberating everywhere in Telugu states.

Is Bollywood Superstar Salman Khan all ready to play a father role?? If his words, are to be believed, then Yes! He is about to play a father character in his next film.

In a recent interview to Hindustan times, when he was asked whether he is fine with playing a father character then he replied, “I did play father character in ‘Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai’ when I was in my 30s. I’ve been there and done that. And in my next film, I’m playing the father to a 13-year-old-girl.”

The Bhai also said that it’s a film about dancing, like Hollywood’s ‘Step Up’ franchise. Reportedly, he is going to be a properly trained dancer in this film. However, there isn’t news about whether it’s Tiger Zinda Hai or Tubelight or other one.

The Bigg Boss host tweeted a few days back that his family watched Dangal and felt it was a much better film than his ‘Sultan’. On the whole, it looks like Aamir Khan inspired him with Dangal to play a father character and that’s something we need to look out for.
