Express Raja In Bullet Speed!
Sharwanand is a lucky guy. He acts in fewer films but rarely fails at the marqee. His latest Express Raja too has all the hype and hoopla. The film is already being talked about.
Watch the making video of ‘Colourful Chilaka Song Making Video’ and it was received well by the audience. It is also likely to impress the fans and boost the pre-release buzz surrounding the film.
The sleek and stylish posters of the film are already a rage and have raised interest in the movie. With successful banner like UV Creations associated with the film, the trade circles appear quite enthusiastic and positive about the movie.
To add to the buzz, Bahubali Prabhas will be at the audio launch of the film on December 19. Express Raja features Sharwanand, Surabhi, Harish Uttaman, Oorvasi, Prabhas sreenu, Supreeth, Sapthagiri and Shakalaka Shanker. It is directed by Merlapaka Gandhi and the music is scored by Praveen Lakkaraju.
A Shame To Telugus All Over The Globe
The horrible ‘call money racket’ which surfaced in Vijayawada is one that would make all Telugu people across the world bow down their heads in shame. This is a scam unprecedented in its moral depravity and it is sickening to digest the information that the main accused in the scam have close affiliations with the ruling party and that the majority of them belong to the dominant community of Vijayawada.
TDP MLA’s are facing accusations of being aligned directly with the accused, a charge which they are denying of course.
Giving loans at exorbitant interest rates to women, making the defaulters come to their offices where they are rendered unconscious with sedatives and exploiting them sexually, videotaping the whole barbarism and using it to blackmail them into the flesh trade. Wah Naidu! You have ushered in Rama Rajya in Andhra Pradesh.
Mahesh Babu Shooting Under Colder Conditions
Putting an end to rumors that Mahesh Babu is having differences with the director Srikanth Addala, the superstar has begun shooting for Brahmotsavam again after a brief break. There were reports that Mahesh Babu was angry with the snail pace of production works. But all seems to be okay now between Mahesh Babu and director Srikanth Addala.
As per the original plan, Mahesh Babu is now shooting for this movie in Ooty in the very cold weather. According to sources close to Mahesh Babu, the star clearly stated to the production house PVP Cinema that the shooting of the movie should be completed by March end.
According to our sources, director Murugadoss asked Mahesh Babu to join his sets from April 14th without fail. Hence Mahesh is very particular about completing Brahmotsavam by then and he is after the team to speed up the proceedings. One of the reasons why he is participating in the extreme low temperature conditions at Ooty is that he doesn’t want to postpone the schedule further.
Vytla Has To Get Adjusted
There is only one way left for Srinu Vytla to revive his career. Bagging a super hit with any available hero then go for impressing the big stars. At a time when Vytla is finding it hard to find a producer who can readily invest money on the ruins of Vytla brand, we hear that C Kalyan of CK Entertainments has put a proposal for two movie agreement before Vytla.
As of now, C Kalyan also got a professional going with Puri Jagannath as they wrapped up ‘Jyothi Lakshmi’ first and ‘Loafer’ releasing tomorrow. Now, the ball lies in Vytla’s court. Whether to go with the deal or to still wait and see? C Kalyan has that influential knack of roping in medium range heroes very easily and Vytla anyways have Pothineni Ram in his mind.
If everything goes as per the plan, C Kalyan and Vytla can make a good combination. Most importantly, Vytla can also enjoy non-stop busy schedules planning the two films. If the deal gets inked, then this can be called a good and wise decision from Srinu Vytla. Of course, it is egoistically hard to work on medium budget films after getting the taste of high budgets and big stars. But, Vytla has to get adjusted…!
Chiru Votes for Tamanna?
Ever since Ram Charan came out in open and declared that his dad-Mega Star Chiranjeevi’s landmark 150th film will be Kaththi remake and director VV Vinayak will be helming the project, the big debate is on who will be Chiru’s heroine in his comeback film. While several names are being speculated, talk is that Milky Beauty Tamanna is the front-runner and first choice for the role.
Considering Tammu’s charm, acting prowess and dance moves, Chiru said to have voted Tamanna. Tamanna will be cast as female lead opposite Chiru where she will be reprising Samantha’s role in the original.
It may be recalled that Mega Star Chiru himself publicly expressed his wish to dance with Tamanna after seeing her performance in Racha. During Racha audio launch, Chiru wished to pair up with Tamanna and she was visibly excited to the offer.
Recently, Tamanna sizzled as Avantika in SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali and is now basking in its success. Though her latest offing Bengal Tiger was just an average grosser, Tammu’s looks got rave reviews. Tammu’s dance moves with Chiru will definitely be a treat to watch. Let’s wait for an official announcement.
Jagan Mental Condition Is Unstable
YSR Congress Chief YS Jaganmohan Reddy recently met Governor ESL Narasimhan. He sought for CBI probe in former CM YS Rajasekhara Reddy’s death and Chandrababu’s role as his father died in a chopper crash on September 3.
Reacting strongly to Jagan remarks, the minister of Human Resources Development of Andhra Pradesh, Ganta Srinivas Rao, said, ‘Jagan is an inexperienced opposition leader. He is doing politics with his father’s death; it’s really surprising, Jagan is now questioning CM Chandrababu Naidu’s participation in it. Jagan previously made similar comments on Sonia Gandhi and later stated corporate biggies are also involved in the matter.
This proves Jagan’s mental condition. After YSR’s death, Chandrababu who was in opposition went to pay homage. However, he couldn’t meet Jagan who might be busy collecting the signatures of legislators on a task to become CM. It’s not good culture of threatening a highly regarded person like CM and Jagan is supporting those people.
Our party is serious over Call Money case and we don’t even leave if our party leaders are involved in the issue. Rather giving suggestions, since state is in critical conditions, Jagan is unnecessarily making annotations on ruling party.’
Agriculture Minister Prathipati Pulla Rao said, ‘Seeking right probe into YSR’s death, Chandrababu even sent a letter to Congress. He brought bad name to ‘Odarpu Yatra’. YSR will also face same circumstances in 2019 like of Congress in 2014.’ Minister Dokka Varaprasad also attacked Jagan for his statement over call money case and fake alcohol.
Failed Justice? Nirbhaya Rapist-Killer walks free
The third anniversary of the December 16 gang-rape and murder case is unlikely to bring any closure for the family of India’s daughter Nirbhaya as one of the killers, who was a juvenile in 2012, is all set to walk free on December 20 unless the Delhi High Court intervenes. It is now learnt that the juvenile, who is now 20-years-old is all set to start his new life as a tailor.
The Delhi government’s department of women and child development (WCD) is ready with a rehabilitation plan for the juvenile. Under the plan, Nirbhaya’s killer will get a one-time financial grant of Rs 10,000 and a sewing machine so that he can start his life afresh as a tailor.
The Centre is opposed to the juvenile’s release after the Intelligence Bureau expressed hesitation that he has been radicalized during his stay at the juvenile care centre. Contrarily, the care centre officials stated that, the juvenile behaved good in his stay… used to do namaz five times a day… was fasting during Ramzan.
Nirbhaya’s parents are horror-struck and are demanding not to set free the juvenile from the jail, so it will send wrong message to society. ‘We have failed. Now there is no hope for justice. With each passing day her memories get more intense. But we are not even able to face the memories as we have failed to secure justice for her. And now there is no hope for justice!’ said Nirbhaya’s father.
Don’t Compare Me With Ileana & Shraddha
Director Puri Jagannadh is introducing the sultry hot Bollywood starlet Disha Patani with Loafer. The film is releasing tomorrow and Disha is promoting the film aggressively, hoping to strike big on her debut. During one of the promotional interviews, Disha was asked about her reaction to public perception that her slender figure and facial features resemble leading beauties Ileana and Shraddha Kapoor.
Pat came the reply from Disha, who first said that she is happy that people are comparing her with two of the most beautiful actresses. However, Disha went on to state that she would appreciate it if people treat her differently since even though she looks like them, she has her own identity.
Saying that both Ileana and Shraddha created their own identities in films, Disha hoped to make a mark for herself with Loafer and create her own identity in films and expected people to treat her differently for her work.
Well, Puri never failed in projecting his heroines even though his films flopped. Let’s wait for one more day to see what’s in store for Disha.
Soukhyam Preponed!
Gopichand’s Soukhyam which was earlier planned for December 25th release, is now seeing light a day in advance. The makers have taken this decision so as to make sure the movie gets big release and good collections.
As many as five films – Gopichand’s Soukhyam, Sudhir Babu’s Bhale Manchi Roju, Naga Shourya’s Abbayi tho Ammayi, Raju Gari Gadhi pair’s Jatha Kalise and Mohan Babu – Allari Naresh’s Mama Manchu Alludu Kanchu are releasing for Christmas and there is a huge demand for the theaters.
Also when arrived in a bunch, the openings are also to be shared between all the films. And so the makers of Soukhyam have decided to release the movie on 24th. They will unleash an aggressive promotional drive in this week itself.
In Christmas season, Paris is aglow but uneasy
The tributes and the vigil at the Place de la Republique square in Paris continue with candles, flowers and the occasional song. Everyday, volunteers adjust the candles and flowers meticulously, more people come to remember, and slogans of peace and solidarity are all around the statue and monument that proclaims the formation of the Third Republic. A month since terror Just over a month after the terrorist attacks that killed 130 people, the city is nervously moving on, preparing for Christmas. The Eiffel tower shimmers with lights, beaming a spotlight out to the world, and the Champs Elysees is aglow with LED lights on trees.
The Paris Metro, the RER trains and the climate-controlled buses ferry tens of thousands of people smoothly. A cold Monday evening does not deter thousands of visitors, who stroll along the boulevard from the Arc du Triomphe, under the watchful eyes of armed police. The avenue trees that in summer make this vista a living watercolour painting now have an LED light canopy. Kiosks selling vin chaud (hot wine) are everywhere, interspersed with those selling French handicrafts and clothes.
Paris struggled after the November 13 terror attacks which came on the eve of the Christmas season, emptying hotels in good measure. The successful climate change conference steered by the French presidency helped the city recover, having hosted 150 heads of state on a single day — a unique security challenge for any city in the world, and more so for one that experienced a terror attack.
Tourists — from within France and outside — have spent a total of €149 billion in France, the country with the “most international tourist arrivals” according to official statistics. Paris claims to be unique in having Welcome City Lab, an incubator for tourism-related start-ups with the city administration partnering in the venture. Following the climate conference, hotels are once again focused on attracting tourists.
Solar power A good deal of LED illumination of the Champs Elysees, with its cinemas, designer stores and top-of-the-line car displays, is being powered this year by solar panels to highlight the climate theme. The panels sponsored by the furniture major IKEA are themselves an exhibit on this high fashion stretch, with a live display that says over 95 units of power were produced in a not too sunny day. Other tourist attractions in Paris are also attracting a large number of tourists. At the Notre Dame Cathedral, famous for its flying buttresses architecture, security personnel with automatic rifles scan the long line waiting to enter. Everyone is screened with a metal detector.
This December, there are two kinds of lights in Paris. The candles at Republique, at the Bataclan theatre on Boulevard Voltaire (where the maximum number of people were killed in the November attack) and at other places which tell the story of a city shocked. On the Champs Elysees and other boulevards, the LEDs around silver buntings seem to symbolise the city of lights looking ahead.
Rajamouli Cannot Keep Her Away!
Rajamouli is a perfect story teller who strictly selects his artists based on necessity and bends them till he gets the best output. As we all know, Tamanna was a late entry into ‘Bahubali’ project because Rajamouli shot Avanthika portions in later schedules. During those times, milk beauty happened to be a surprise entry and now when Rajamouli offered her a small portion in ‘Bahubali 2,’ why would she reject it?
‘I thought that my character would end with first part but now it got an extension into Bahubali – The Conclusion. When I met Rajamouli Garu recently, he said me that I got a small portion and I was really amazed. I am not worried about length of my character because it is a matter of pride to get a place in both the parts of magnum opus,’ Tamanna informed.
Meanwhile, Tammu is also enjoying the commercial success of ‘Bengal Tiger’ wherein again she oozed lots of oomph and has done all those needed for a mass masala flick. Finally, Jakkanna cannot keep Tamanna away. Let us see, how Avanthika is prolonged into second in series.
