Watch Operation Old City in Hyderabad
Harikrishna comes, is NTR Next
The barriers between some of the members in Nandamuri clan and TDP leadership seems to be reducing. It is a known fact that NTR had been sidelined completely after 2009 elections. Moreover, the crossing over of his follower, Kodali Nani towards YSRCP raised suspicions in TDP regarding NTR.
At the same time, elevation of Lokesh proved to be sore point, with Harikrishna unable to digest how his son was being neglected in TDP.His Rajya Sabha candidature wasn’t extended and Chandrababu cleverly raised the profile of Balakrishna there by giving an impression that he can stage manage certain things.
But the ongoing Mahanadu has now seen Hari Krishna attending the event before others and was also seen mingling actively with others at the venue. This was a pleasant surprise for TDP leaders who were happy that now the ego differences would be brushed aside and there would bemore interactions.
Now sources say that there is a churning going on in TDP circles whether NTR would also come. In a way, this depends a lot on Balayya too who holds the key. In case NTR comes, then it would open a new chapter for the dejected section of Nandamuri family in TDP. NTR fans would be delighted to see this happen.

Success Story of a Billionaire Barber from AP
Can you believe that a saloon owner owns 250+ luxury cars and makes a lot of money by renting them too? Yes, you’ve heard it right! A barber shop owner named Ramesh Babu has started his car-rental business in 2004 with a Maruti Omni Van and has managed to add around 250 luxury cars like BMWs, Mercedes Benz, Jaguar, Bentley and Rolls Royce since then. But the most surprising element of his success story is the commitment with which he still runs his original business of a hair cutting saloon in Bangalore.
Basically from Anantapur, Ramesh Babu started renting out his cars to small firms and clients in Bangalore. After sensing a good opportunity for luxury rental cars, he shifted the gears and bought a Mercedes E Class vehicle to meet the demand.
Within no time, he has become a leading businessman in Bangalore with almost every brand in his courtyard. Celebrities like Shahrukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai and Amitabh Bachachan have been driven around in his cars whenever they visit Bangalore.
Not to loose his touch with the roots, Ramesh Babu visits his barber shop named Inner Space every evening and works there for some time. He has a loyal client base even today and he wants his children to learn the same art as well. Though they are too young to take the teaching, Ramesh Babu is trying his best to make them knowledgeable.
Being a Telugu by birth, Ramesh wants to expand his business to Telugu states and as of now he is inclined towards Vijayawada to start the new phase of his business. Let’s see if the people of AP capital region embrace Ramesh Babu’s car-rental idea in the coming years!
‘Film With Tori Black Is Nonsense’ – RGV
“News about me doing film with adult star Tori black is nonsense. A journalist should have courtesy to at least check“, said Ram Gopal Varma, with news mushrooming everywhere that he is gearing up to direct a full-pledged adult (porn) film this time.
Belief is so strong on this news that Ramu had in the past announced his interested to make an adult film titled “XES” as he hasn’t touched that genre. Probably those thoughts in the back of mind made everyone agree that maybe sensation-lover and attention-seeker RGV is really gearing up for porn film. And the addition of name like Tori Black, added more believability to the whole story. However, the maverick director blasts media for such callous attitude for writing negatively about him.
“Worst thing about journos is they are scared to clarify because denial will kill their story.That’s why they are called yellow journos“, he adds, attacking the journalist who cooked up the story. This is not the first time rumors have erupted about Ramu and he denying them, but the inclusion of a real-life Porn Star made the impact huge.
Two Girls Might Ruin Baahubali’s Dream
Already we are close to wrapping five months in 2015 and India has still not seen a film that grossed 100 crores at box office. Telugu films have not yet grown to the range of 100 crores at box office, but ‘Baahubali’ is the biggest weapon in our pandoras box to bring that dream a reality.
Baahubali posed stiff and there is no other big competition in the vicinity to collect 100 crores until a Salman Khan or Shahrukh makes entry on silver screen in 2015. That led to believability that cumulatively from all languages Bahubali will be collecting 100 crores gross at the earliest and stand as top grosser for a while in 2015. But such expectations are beaten severely with two hotties showcasing their girl power.
Sultry siren Deepika Padukone has impressed critics with ‘Piku’ and the film grossed 72 crores gross so far and counting in its week three. If Deepika is the first threat for Bahubali’s dream, there comes curly haired Kangana Ranaut, giving double blow. Her double action in ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’ is mindblowing that the film made 55.25 crores in India alone from Friday to Tuesday.
Trade pundits feel that within completion of first week, Kangana’s double treat may pocket 100 crores gross. Whether Deepika collects or not, Kangana is surely going to be the first 100 crore grosser of 2015, leaving either second or third spot for Rajamouli’s Baahubali.
On the other hand, Bahubali might be treated as first ever 100 crore grossing movie that Tollywood will ever see, which is made purely from its stables.
We Never Hate Andhra Pradesh – KTR
KCR’s son & Telangana minister Kalvakuntla Taraka Ramarao has expressed his love for Andhra Pradesh in a recent meet with the media and said that the people of Telangana are always willing to support AP Speaking to the media, KTR has highlighted that there hasn’t been a single attack on people from Andhra by any of the Telangana residents in the last one year. He also said that the bifurcation will be beneficial for Andhra Pradesh in the long run as there would be a lot of development in the newly formed state.
On the other hand, KTR was seen bashing AP Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. He said that the vice president of Congress party is currently jobless and is touring the states like Telangana. KTR alleged that the Congress party hasn’t done anything for the farmers when they are in power for 10 years and is crying foul now.
Talking about Naidu, the young minister has termed the statements of AP CM as mindless ones. “Hyderabad and Telangana regions have been blessed with surplus funds even before Naidu’s birth and he should know these facts before claiming Hyderabad’s growth. The immense development of Hyderabad cannot be attributed to a single individual as it has grown eventually,” said KTR. He has requested his neighboring state’s CM to concentrate on developing his own state and try getting more projects for the good!
Spotted: Is This Varun Tej’s Kanche Look?
His debut flick might have failed commercially, but his powerful looks aren’t. That’s Varun Tej, son of mega brother Nagababu. This young mega hero will be now seen in Krish’s “Kanche” which has a period backdrop, set in the days of pre-Independence.
A picture is doing rounds on internet, showcasing Varun Tej with a square cut moustache and holing a pistol in his hands, while a military officer looks on. This is said to be an on-location picture clicked in Georgia by some unit members.
Going by the uniform, we could say that the military man in picture belongs to Hitler’s Nazi-German army and Varun Tej is the Indian solider taking part in Second World War. Authenticity of this picture is not known, but the look of Varun Tej is quite intriguing.
10 years jail for ‘Pirates Of Caribbean’ star?
Australian authorities are busy telling that Hollywood star Johnny Depp, famous all over the world for his Captain Jack Sparrow act in the superhit franchise “Pirates Of Caribbean” may get 10 years in jail if his guilty is proved. What has he done?
Breaking the rules, Johnny Depp has brought his two dogs, Pistol and Boo, into Australian land when he flied into the country last month in a special jet. Australia has special quarantine laws that don’t allow pets to be travelled from other countries to its land until special permissions are taken. Johnny Depp was found with his pets only after someone posted his pets photos as they are taken for a stroll at outside in Australia.
Hollywood magazines reported that either he could face up to 10 years in jail or a maximum fine of US $ 265,000 if proven guilty. Authorities are checking whether the puppies are not flown out of the country within 50 hours or not, in that case he maybe excused.
