Prabhas Got Scared of ‘Baahubali 2’ Rate?
It is reported that Prabhas himself got scared of after knowing the price of distribution rights of Baahubali 2.With the success of Baahubali, except the producers, all the distributors made the huge sum as the film’s rights were sold for a reasonable price. But, the case is different for Baahubali 2. To cash in on the humongous craze, makers are now quoting a price much higher than the first part’s collections.
Baahubali was distributed in Tamil Nadu by none other than Prabhas’s friends UV Creations. They earned good profits as well. But, after learning the price quoted by makers for the rights of the same area, Prabhas is said to have backed out and asked his friends not to invest such huge sum.
Is Prabhas not confident of Baahuabli 2? If not, why is he working so hard for it? If he is confident, why he backed out from bagging the rights?
Jr NTR and Chiranjeevi’s Sentiment After 13 Years
Sentiments play a key role in the film industry, and the one sentiment we are going to share here is quite encouraging and positive.
13 years ago, NTR Jr’s ‘Simhadri’ and megastar Chiranjeevi’s ‘Tagore’ were shot at the same time at Ramanaidu studios in Hyderabad. We know the kind of hits the two films were. The same sentiment is repeating now as the shooting of NTR’s ‘Janatha Garage’ and Chiru’s 150th film is currently progressing at the same place.
While item song featuring Kajal and NTR is being shot by makers of Janatha Garage, important sequences are bring shot by Vinayak and co. for Chiru’s film. If sentiment repeats, both these films will once again recreate records. Like 13 years ago, this time, also the two films will be releasing with just a few months gap.
Bankrupt AP Is Rich In Giving Gifts?
Olympic Silver Medalist PV Sindhu, a Telugu girl, has already been bestowed upon with several rewards post creating history at Rio Olympics. When already several have announced cash rewards for her, is there any need for cash crunch AP govt. to announce such lucrative reward for her?
As per latest reports, AP Government has announced a huge Rs 3 Cr cash prize, Group-1 job and a 1000 sq yard land in capital city Amaravati to PV Sindhu. Sindhu’s Coach Pullela Gopichand was also announced a cash prize of Rs 50 lakh. Not stopping there, the kind hearted and bankrupt AP govt. has also announced Rs 50 lakhs cash prize to Olympic Bronze Medalist Sakshi Malik, who clinched the first medal for the country at Rio.
Just like Sindhu, Sakshi was also bestowed upon cash prizes and rewards by her home state Haryana, Central govt. and several others. Still, posing like a state which is flouring with surplus funds, AP govt. has announced prize money for her as well.Netizens ask the AP leaders, ‘Even if you feel the responsibility to reward a Telugu girl, why announce Rs 3 Cr when a surplus state like Telangana has announced only Rs 1 Cr?’. Encouraging our Telugu talent is a commendable thing but if we spend such amount on infrastructure, we can create many more Sindhus, opine tax paying citizens.
Is Sindhu An Andhra Ammayi Or Telangana Bidda?
As soon as India’s ‘golden girl’ PV Sindhu won the silver medal at Rio Olympics yesterday, a strange controversy is brewing in the twin Telugu states, with political leaders and even people belonging to Andhra Pradesh and Telangana busy claiming their role in Sindhu’s historic victory.
The KCR-led Telangana government is said to be announcing 1 crore to Sindhu after a cabinet meeting, while KTR and K Kavitha have been quite appreciative of the Telangana Bidda’s victory.On the other hand, AP CM Nara Chandrababu Naidu took credit saying that Sindhu’s victory is a result of his support to Gopichand by providing him with world-class infrastructure during his reign to cultivate medal winners.
Babu’s cabinet has also passed a resolution to award Sindhu with 3 crores cash prize along with 1000 square yards plot in AP capital Amaravati and a Group l officer’s post in addition to 50 lakhs and land in Amaravati to set up badminton academy to her coach Gopichand.And the main reason behind all this controversy about Sindhu being an Andhra Ammayi or a Telangana Bidda is her parents Ramana and Vijayalakshmi, who hail from Nirmal in Telangana and Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh respectively.
The couple, sports persons themselves, had a love marriage and raised Sindhu at their Marredpally house. Responding to the ongoing controversy about Sindhu’s nativity, her mother Vijayalakshmi requested everyone to forget about her daughter’s region and to celebrate the fact that she is an Indian first and foremost.
No matter whether Sindhu is an Andhra Ammayi or a Telangana Bidda, she has made the country proud of her achievements, and politicians, instead of fighting to claim Sindhu’s victory, they should support and inspire more young athletes to achieve their dreams just like Sindhu did yesterday.
‘Ileana is not Publicity Material’
With Goan beauty Ileana and the producer of ‘Aankhen 2’ indulging in an ugly verbal war, the film seems to be getting a lot of publicity.
This publicity blitz started right from the day the film was launched in grand manner. Producer Gaurang Doshi claimed that Amitabh Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Arjun Rampal, Arshad Warsi, Ileana and Regina Cassandra were part of the film. Everyone was present for the launch event except Ileana so the producer dignifiedly played a video of Ileana to confirm her inclusion in the project.The next day, Ileana announced that she has not signed ‘Aankhen 2’ and she was contemplating to file a lawsuit against the producer for using her name for publicity.
When questioned, Producer Gauran Doshi said two days before the launch event, Ileana agreed to sign the film when he and film’s director Anees Bazmee had approached her. “She was supposed to sign the agreement within a week after negotiating the remuneration. But, she never informed me about her decision to quit my film. I don’t need Ileana to publicize my film. I already have a huge cast. I am capable of roping Katrina Kaif or Deepika Padukone if I want publicity,’ added the producer.

Sudden Craze For Gopichand’s Biopic After Sindhu’s Silver
He has always been the pride of the nation for his endless efforts, humongous hardwork and gallons of patience that he has put in all these years. The man of the moment is undoubtedly Pullela Gopichand, former Indian badminton champ and current national coach, who inspired numerous sportspersons and contributed stars like Saina Nehwal, Srikant Kidambi, Parupalli Kashyap and finally the 21-year-old PV Sindhu.
Known for his grit and determination, Gopichand has been admired as a brand name for the game of badminton for several years. His achievements in the sport after hailing from a modest background are nothing but inspirational and he was duly honoured by the Indian government with all the sporting awards in the country, including Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan.
And now, Gopi’s role behind Sindhu winning the silver medal at Rio Olympics is causing quite a flutter in the cinema world. Yes, the Gopichand biopic which has been under pre-production from the last few months is now the hottest subject of discussion in the tinsel town. While actor Sudheer Babu, also a badminton player, is reportedly playing Gopi’s onscreen role, Praveen Sattaru of Chandamama Kathalu will helm it as a Telugu-Hindi biopic.
