Chiru’s Duet With Daughter Susmitha
That Megastar Chiranjeevi is a phenomenal dancer is a well known fact. For nearly 2 decades, Chiru swayed Mega fans with his majestic dances. However, ever since he bid adieu to films after stepping into politics 8 years ago, there was hardly an instance where Chiru was seen dancing.
But that rare sight of Chiru wearing his dancing boots was spotted during the Sangeet on the eve of his doting younger daughter Srija’s marriage. A short video in which Chiru was seen grooving along with his elder daughter Susmitha is doing the rounds on the internet. Chiru and Susmitha together danced to Megastar’s yesteryear classic hit, Malli Malli Idi Rani Roju from Rakshasudu.
While fans are amused by Chiru’s trademark steps, it was Susmitha who stole the show with her spotless dancing. Even Chiru was seen appreciating his daughter’s dance along with the guests. Last night, Srija tied the knot with her childhood friend Kalyan in a glittering ceremony at Chiru’s Bengaluru farmhouse. The wedding was graced by close family members and friends.
The Man who launched Chiru is no more!
Veteran Film Producer Jaya Krishna passed away in the early hours of Tuesday in Hyderabad. Jaya Krishna began his career as a Make-up Man. He used to be the personal make-up artist for Krishnam Raju and Vijayashanti. ‘Mana Voori Pandavulu’ is a memorable film in Jaya Krishna’s career.
He received Filmfare award for this Bapu directorial. Even though ‘Punadirallu’ (June 21st, 1979) happens to be the first feature film Chiranjeevi acted, ‘Mana Voori Pandavulu’ (Nov 9th, 1978) released first to mark his launch. It was from this Producer, Chiru received his first remuneration.

TDP Turns 34, Party’s Values At Stake
On this day in 1982, legendary actor late Nandamuri Taraka Ramarao founded the Telugu Desam Party with the motto of upholding Telugu pride and self respect. NTR later created history with a sensational victory by uprooting the Congress within 9 months. This morning, TDP president Nara Chandrababu Naidu hoisted the party flag at NTR Bhavan and later paid homage to NTR at NTR Ghat.
Extending his 34th anniversary greetings, Babu appealed to his cadre to strive for realizing NTR’s dreams and upholding the party’s values. However, it is these very values of the yellow army that are at stake in the current political scenario.
The values with which the late NTR founded the party are slowly evaporating now, thanks to the lackluster efforts, scandals and corruption by Telugu thammullu.
Events like the recent Operation Akarsh, the cash for vote scandal, crores of scam in the sand gate by Telugu thammullu and not much development in the state even after two years of its governance etc have lessened people’s trust on the TDP to a great extent.
Since the beginning, the TDP used to maintain a huge difference from other political parties, but with its values sidelining with each passing day, the TDP is losing all its shine and the line between the TDP and other parties is narrowing.
With just 3 years left for the next elections, the TDP has a herculean task to regain the diminishing people’s trust. It’s high time for the TDP to wake up and get back to its previous glory.
Oscar Winner Unhappy For Baahubali
Prabhas, Rana, Anushka Shetty and Tamannah Bhatia starrer Baahubali won National Award in best film category. Director SS Rajamouli, producers Shobhu Yarlagadda, Devineni Prasad and other film unit members are happy for the film receiving the honor. However, Oscar winning sound designer Resul Pookutty feels that, Baahubali was unrecognized in sound department at the national awards.
He predicted the magnum opus film should have got award in the category. “Not underestimating the work of people who got recognized, I feel sound work of Bahubali is not been recognized is a shame on sound community,” said Resul Pookutty.
The technician hails from Kollam of Kerala is currently working for Shankar and Rajinikanth’s Robo 2.0. The Jury members of National Award are trolled for being biased. Most of the awards were given to Hindi films, wherein south films and technicians were completely neglected.
Coming to Baahubali, MM Keeravani’s work on background score was biggest asset. He gave life to the Rajamouli’s vision by providing fascinating music.
The film’s sound supervision was done by Rajamouli’s cousin Kalyan Koduri. Right now, the same team is busy with production works of second part- Baahubali: The Conclusion which is slated for release on 14th April, 2017.
