He adds that the film has shaped up well and he is confident of it being a hit.
Nikhil, meanwhile, is on a success streak and has been lauded for choosing different genres. Sankarabharanam is inspired by the Hindi film Phas Gaya Re Obama.
TDP MP still prefers Rayala Telangana
JC Diwakar Reddy, TDP MP from Anathapur known for his contentious statements has yet again come up with some new strategy. While he is sure that Andhra Pradesh would not be accorded special status by the centre he also has an alternative for the already bifurcated Telugu states.
JC opines that Rayala Telangana, That is a separate state of Telanga along with Rayalaseema included in it could have done more good to Rayalaseeem and bailed it out of all the current issues it’s been subjected to. Infact this is not the first time he asked for a Rayala Telangana but even before the Telugu state bifurcation JC vouched for a Rayala Telangana.
To add more fuel to the fire JC commented that both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Mister Chandrababu Naidu, as well as union minister Sujana Chowdary are well aware that AP would not be accorded with a special status but only be granted a special Package. He also stated that BJP can never gain a strong footing in AP.
Cool Down BJP, It’s TDP’s Turn Now
Ever since the state bifurcation and the formation of a new government in Andhra Pradesh, CM Nara Chandrababu Naidu on many occasions tried to convince Modi to announce the special status, special funds package and various developmental schemes to develop the residual Andhra Pradesh. However, Modi, who revived BJP in AP with TDP’s support in 2014 elections, never obliged Babu.
Adding to this non-cooperation, Modi’s go-to man and BJP President Amit Shah acted tough with TDP as the party has been demanding for ridiculously more seats in the upcoming GHMC polls, something which TDP is not happy about. Apparently, BJP is asking for at least 60 wards, whereas it hardly won not more than 5 wards in the past elections.
With the shameful setback it received in Bihar yesterday, no doubt that BJP’s raging horns will be tamed down to an extent and it is clearly advantage Chandrababu and Co. This is the time Babu go all out at Modi and exert more pressure to seek what was rightfully promised to AP during the 2014 elections. Even in the Amaravati inaugural event, Babu did not openly ask Modi for the special status or a package, both of which were promised by the PM himself.
Meanwhile, the Bihar result has taught the BJP cadres a great lesson to be inferior to the TDP in the Telugu states. Minus TDP, BJP cannot survive on Modi’s charisma alone anymore neither in AP nor Telangana, with KCR’s might tough to handle. With GHMC polls posing as a huge test for party’s survival, it’s clearly advantage TDP over BJP.
Every house in Hyderabad getting two garbage bins
Hyderabad: As part of a major drive to make Hyderabad a clean city, the municipal authorities are distributing two dustbins each to the 42 lakh households in the city for collecting dry and wet garbage separately.Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao on Monday launched the scheme, said to be the first of its kind in the country aimed at segregating garbage at source.

KCR, as the chief minister is popularly known, sought people’s cooperation in making Hyderabad a clean and a global city. Stating that Hyderabad was neglected by the rulers in the erstwhile undivided Andhra Pradesh, he pointed out that during rains, the streets turn into cesspools and cars become boats.
KCR said the government was working on all fronts to improve the civic infrastructure to make Hyderabad an international city. He announced that two reservoirs will be constructed exclusively to meet drinking water needs of the city. While 30 TMC reservoir will come up near Ramoji Film City, another reservoir with 15 TMC capacity will be built at Keshavapuram near Shameerpet lake.

Sunil Enters Into Danger Zone !
Comedian turned hero Sunil is in a crucial career phase. He faced a row of failures in recent times and is now pinning many hopes on upcoming flick ‘Krishnashtami’ in direction of Vasu Varma of ‘Josh’ fame. In fact, Dil Raju being the producer of project makes sure that it is half successful at Box Office with needed number of theaters to be made available at any point of release time.
When every producer and distributor is eyeing to go on Box Office rampage by picking a festive or holiday release, with so many theaters available under his belt why not Dil Raju do so? As per fresh buzz from film circles, Sunil’s ‘Krishnashtami’ is going to hit the screens most probably in danger zone of Pongal season with ‘Nannaku Prematho’ from Junior NTR and ‘Dictator’ from Balakrishna standing in the race.
‘Krishnashtami’ is heard to be a complete family entertainer, purely on the lines of healthy entertainment which Dil Raju guarantees from his banner. It would be quite interesting to see, how Sunil offers a tough fight to Babai and Abbai if at all Dil Raju is struck to the same Pongal release plan.

Prabhas Increasing, Anushka Reducing
‘Bahubali’ and Prabhas are inseparable. Entire India will remember the film and hero for generations and generations. Such was the kind impact ‘Bahubali 1’ has created on Indian cinema. Obviously, the big result for first installment has increased the responsibility on hero Prabhas to approach for the second installment with more sincerity and dedication.
Taking a break from shooting, the team members have enjoyed peaceful three months as the call is not away from Rajamouli in December when ‘Bahubali 2’ production works would begin. As of now, Jakkanna and his team have wrapped up the complete script and making enough of grand preparations for schedule to begin. For actors like Prabhas, this is again a tough task to get fit with ‘Bahubali’ charming looks.
Prabhas has put in some weight and started to grow the beard which means he is getting ready for ‘Bahubali 2’ shooting. He is also reported to be on strict diet from last two to three weeks to regain the physique which ‘Bahubali’ needed. Paradoxically, if Prabhas struck to his weight gaining process, on the opposite side Deva Sena that is Anushka is reducing her weight as she is coming in directly from overweighed obese character for ‘Size Zero.’
