Why Is Mahesh Babu Silent?

Share

mahesh-babu-34

Mahesh Babu who usually stays away from politics and sensitive issues surprised everyone by extending his support to Jallikattu Movement of Tamils.

Although Mahesh Babu’s intentions were good, a few criticized that Mahesh is supporting Jallikattu so that his upcoming bilingual film with Murugadoss will be benefited out of it.

Many of his followers from Andhra Pradesh also questioned about his stand on special status to Andhra Pradesh.

“Why didn’t you tweet anything about special status for AP until now?” is the big question that Mahesh faced after his tweets supporting Jallikattu.

Now that Youth of Andhra Pradesh are planning silent protest on 26th Jan in Vizag for the sake of special status, many young heroes and Janasena President Pawan Kalyan have extended their support to it.

Mahesh is yet to tweet about it and his timeline is flooded with AP youth questioning about his double standards.

No one would have bothered if Mahesh remained silent now had he kept quiet during the Jallikattu movement. But he responded then. So Mahesh cannot remain silent on his own state’s self respect issue as he chose to tweet about cultural sentiments of Tamilnadu people, is what AP youth say.

Will Pawan Kalyan take the Responsibility?

As the AP youth is gearing up for a massive silent protest on 26th January, AP DGP has said that no official permission has been granted for the protest as none came forward to take the responsibility. He even branded the movement just a ‘Social Media Creation’. As the dispirited youth is looking for a leader, will Pawan Kalyan take the ownership of this #APSpecialStatusMovement?

Needless to say, it was Pawan Kalyan who reflected the spirit of Jallikattu movement in Tamil Nadu to the AP ‘Special Status’ movement through a series of tweets. As the youth picked up his idea and started a social media campaign to create awareness and planned a movement, Pawan kept adding fuel to the fire with his inspiring tweets. The actor has even released an album titled ‘Desh Bachao’ to instill passion and dedication in youth.

Despite all these, youth are a bit worried now after the DGP refused to allot permission showing no ‘Guaranteer’ as the reason. More than the tweets and album, this is the time for Pawan to come forward and take the responsibility of the movement. Bragging on social media is one thing and leading lakhs of people through a peaceful movement is an entirely different thing. While anyone with some intellect can do the former, only a real leader can accomplish the latter.

The entire Andhra Pradesh people as well as political parties are keenly observing the happenings. Pawan’s next action is awaited.

Best Gift Mahesh Ever Received

Mahesh Babu is a true-blue superstar for millions of fans but his stardom has never come in between him and his children. He has time and again proved to be one of the best dads and here is his latest tweet that is too adorable to be missed.

On the eve of ‘National Girl Child Day’, Mahesh has called his daughter Sitara the best gift that he has ever received. Calling himself a proud parent, he appealed everyone to feel proud of their daughters.

“She is the best gift that I have ever received. She’s my pride..my joy..Let’s be those proud parents to our daughters! #NationalGirlChildDay,” tweeted Mahesh besides sharing a cute picture of Sitara.

Mahesh’s pertinent message on the all-important day to educate people against gender bias is highly commendable.

Despite being a superstar and one of the busiest actors, Mahesh never forgets to take time off his busy schedules to spend time with his children. More than as a star, he inspires people as a father.

Pawan's Judgement Gone Wrong!

Pawan Kalyan’s most anticipated music album, Desh Bachao, promoted as a protest album is finally out. While many expected that the music album would offer new songs that would inspire, motivate youth in fighting for their rights including Special Status to AP, what the songs have actually offered is a rehash of Pawan’s classic songs.

Truth be told, even that rehash & remix of Pawan’s old songs were not done well. As the music – err…it’s noise – dominates the song, lyrics go unnoticed leaving fans, music lovers in a tizzy.

Be it “Travelling Soldier” (done in Bhangra Laddoo Mix) or Ye Mera Jaha ( EDM Mix) or Naaraju Gakura Remix, the album has nothing substantial. Though it’s clarified that Desh Bachao album is not for Special Status and it’s about “Opportunistic, Divisive, Criminal politics”, the album doesn’t reflect the ideology and it’s just looked like Pawan trying to cash in on his old hit songs. Simply put, the songs of the album are made with poor taste.

Pawan had a great music taste. Almost all the music albums of his films were hits and his films were called as musical hits irrespective of their performance at the BO.

Music lovers are wondering what has happened to Pawan’s judgement? As the album was originally planned for Feb 5th release, but the songs were released on Jan 24th in a hush hush manner, probably the hurry would have damaged the songs quality.

On the whole, pouring cold water on fans hopes, Pawan Kalyan and DJ Prithvi have failed to deliver a good music album.

Permission Denied to Vizag Beach Protest

Ahead of the scheduled ‘Silent Protest’ of AP youth on 26th January at RK beach in Vizag, DGP Sambasiva Rao has issued clear mandate that police permission would not be provided for movements born on social media.

It is well-known that inspired by the Jallikattu movement in Tamil Nadu, AP youth sans political parties, have decided to silently protest at the RK beach in Vizag on the eve of Republic Day. Although the mainstream print media didn’t endorse this idea, the social media wave took it to so high that even several film celebs have extended their support and some even volunteered to take part in the protest.

Addressing the media, AP DGP has now made it clear that no one has sought official permission for this protest and even if someone does now, it can’t be provided in such short notice.

‘We have no issues with peaceful protests but anti-social elements often prey upon these kinds of mass movements to spread terror in society. This protest has been incited by some enthusiastic people on social media and no one has come forward to take the responsibility if some disturbance occurs,’ added the DGP.

‘People have the right to take part in peaceful movements and we respect it. But, ‘Law and Order’ is our priority. There is no official permission for any sort of protest on Jan 26,’ he reiterated.

On the other hand, those gearing up for protest are citing Article 191b of the Indian constitution, which states – ‘Citizens can protest peacefully without arms’.

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.

Oops! Mahesh Lost No.1 Rank Again

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.

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.

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?
