Pic-Talk: Power star Pawan Kalyan is missing

During the Party’s launch meeting Pawan has repeatedly said that his entry into politics was meant for questioning the authorities. No sooner he floated his new party than he chose to opt to support TDP+BJP alliance instead of contesting in polls on  his own. 
 
Pawan Kalyan is the one who campaigned for Narendra Modi in the elections and indirectly helped for the victory of the BJP candidates. He also campaigned for TDP candidates and helped for them to form the government in the newly formed state of Andhra Pradesh.  While conducting tours for seeking support to BJP and TDP pawan said that he will question Modi and Chandrababu if they break promises.
 
Now some of the enthusiastic people circulatuing a photo on web circles by saying that Pawan was missed and not appeared anywhere post elections.They also want him to question about the promises given by Babu and Modi before elections.  Will Pawan able to question them is the million dollar question now? Will he be toil enough to deliver or just repeat the ‘starters’ that he is used to is the question that he needs to answer.

KCR unveils biggest threat to Seemandhras?

Mulki rules, this is one controversial issue that has solely driven the separate Telangana agitation of 1969 and Jai Andhra movement of 1971. Those who are from that generation still remember how the call for justice changed the way in which politics took turn in Andhra Pradesh during that period. 
 
Now in an effort so that ‘only Telangana’ people can be seen as the beneficiaries of all policies, the Telangana Chief Minister KCR is reportedly planning to rake up Mulki rules again. The rules are rather controversial and can generate a lot of issues. It was introduced by Hyderabad Nizam in 1919 to safeguard the rights of Telangana people in Hyderabad as they faced strict competition from Marathis and Kannadigas from other parts of Hyderabad state. 
 
According to Presidential Order, those who have lived or studied for 4 or more consecutive years are considered local whereas according to Mulki rules, one has to stay at a place for 15 years to be treated as a local. This proposal will open a can of worms, according to many experts.

Family Problems for Mahesh Babu!

Family seem to be posing more problems for Mahesh Babu than any others. The actor is a very reserved man and gives so much of value for his family members and relations but the other members of the family are trying to exploit his popularity to the maximum extent. The recent headache for Mahesh is from his Brother-in-laws, Jay Galla and Sudhir Babu.
 
It was in May. Mahesh Babu made his first political statement via Twitter supporting his brother-in-law Jay Galla's candidature for Guntur Parliament. It is the first ever political statement made by Mahesh Babu in his life. On several occasions in the past, Mahesh Babu made it clear that politics is not his cup of tea. But Mahesh Babu had to do it for his sister and brother-in-law.  
 
The family obligations are not yet over for Mahesh Babu. His sister Priya and brother-in-law Sudhir Babu have forced him to play a guest role in the later's film, Krishnamma Kalipindhi Iddarini. As a result Mahesh Babu has accepted the first ever guest role of his career. Earlier Mahesh Babu only lent his voice to films like Jalsa and Baadshah. Mahesh Babu is currently busy wrapping up the shooting of his Aagadu movie. After that project, he will begin his next film directed by Puri Jagannadh. Mahesh will shoot for this cameo in the gap between both these projects.

Pic Talk: Chandra Babu's Office in Hyderabad

See the above picture. If you think it's a waste-yard where garbage is dumped normally, then you're totally mistaken. This is supposed to be Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandra Babu Naidu's office at Secretariat in Hyderabad. Look, how it is.

It may be recalled that "Hi-tech CM" Chandra Babu Naidu had stated soon after his swearing-in, "Andhra Pradesh has no capital city. It need to be build from scratch. We don't know from where to operate and where to function. We have to start everything from zero. The previous 10-year-long Congress rule has ruined the State." The above picture is pretty good evidence for Naidu's statement. After all, a picture speaks a 1000 words!

Jagan's Bail to end Soon. What Next?

It is very common knowledge that beleaguered YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, son of late YS Rajasekhar Reddy, has been facing innumerable corruption charges and he is now walking freely on bail. The latest buzz is that Jagan's bail term, which was issued on September 23, 2013 by Special CBI Court Hyderabad, will be ended this July.

If reports are to be believed, the Special CBI Court may not extend the bail term this time around as it apparently gathered strong evidences against the Pulivendula MLA. Speculation is rife that Jagan would be sentenced to jail again. Not long ago, Enforcement Directorate has attached his assets worth Rs 863 Crore. Going by fresh reports, ED is prepared to attach more properties of Jagan and his aides.

It may be recalled that Jagan's bail plea was rejected at least six times before finally approved on Sep 23,2013 with a set of conditions. He had been in jail from May 2012 to Sep 2013 and came out on bail after 16 months. Jagan was arrested on the charges of holding disproportionate assets with the help of quid-pro-quo when his father was the chief Minister.

Parakala Prabhakar Appointed as Babu's Media Adviser

Renowned scholar, activist, writer and staunch United Andhra Pradesh (Samaikyandhra) protagonist Parakala Prabhakar has been appointed as Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandra Babu Naidu's Media Adviser on Thursday. With CM Chandra Babu quite occupied with so many things, he decided to appoint a personal media adviser to look after things.

Parakala Prabhakar's wife Nirmala Sitharaman has been nominated as BJP's Rajya Sabha MP from Andhra Pradesh recently. She holds key posts in PM Narendra Modi's government. Nirmala Sitharaman is the Union Minister of State for Commerce and Insutry (Independent Charge).

YSRCP Lady Counselor Attacked by Own party leaders

YSR Congress Party's lady ward counselor Veesapu Parvathi was attacked by the fellow counselors of her own party on Thursday in Bobbili Municipal office in Vizianagaram district. Parvathi was attacked reportedly for extending her support to TDP for "development" of her ward.

In Bobbili Municipality, YSRCP has 15 counselors while TDP has 13 and Congress has 2 counselors. While 2 Congress counselors lend their support to TDP, Ex Officio vote of Vizianagaram MP- Union Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju also came in favour of TDP. With this TDP won the Municipal Chairman post with 17 votes polled in favour of it.

Soon after the poll result, unable to digest the defeat fellow YSRCP counselors attacked lady counselor of their own party which led to chaos. Whatever may be the reason, assaulting/attacking a woman has to be condemned. Union Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju intervened into the matter and said that police action will be taken against YSRCP leaders who are involved with the attack.

Shocking: KCR takes back APNGO's 100 acres Land

After denying the fee reimbursement to Andhra Students, Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao pointed his guns at employees of the neighboring state. The TRS Government on Thursday made its intention very clear! It is planning to take back the 100 acres of land from APNGOs association citing no construction activity in these allotted government area.

While on one side AP CM Chandrababu Naidu offers an olive branch to his counterpart KCR to sit down and resolve issues between the two states, This first time CM seems to be not interested at all. Can this be treated as a reaction of KCR to Naidu's call for friendship?

Despite criticism from political parties, media and organizations, KCR is moving ahead doing what he believes in the best interest of Telangana. He created a mark of his own with his  aggressive and bold acts in his one month in the office.

Samantha, Siddharth @ banglore days

Samantha and Siddharth are likely to pair up with each other once again. If reports to be believed, the duo is being considered for the Telugu remake of Malayalam hit Bangalore Days. Although nothing has been confirmed, we hear that efforts to rope in Sid and Sam are on in the nascent phase. Alleged to be T-town love birds, Siddharth and Samantha have acted in one film Jabardasth which turned out to be debacle. Later, Sam made a cameo presence in Siddharth's Something Something which had an average run at Box Office.

Big wig producers Dil Raju and PVP have joined their forces to produce this remake. Buzz is that the film will also have Nani and Naga Chaitanya. Samantha has acted with Nani in Eega and Yeto Vellipoindi Manasu. She paired up with Naga Chaitanya in Ye Maya Chesave, Manam and Autonagar Surya. If all goes well, one could see Samantha alongside Siddharth, Nani and Naga Chaitanya jostling for screen space.

However, the director for the remake has not been finalized yet. Producer Dil Raju is planning to hold special show of Bangalore Days for Siddharth, Samantha, Nani and Naga Chaitanya as none of the stars haven't watched the original film.

Krishna Bhagavan Reacts On Cancer Rumours

Some sections of media have come out with the rumours that popular comedian Krishna Bhagavan is not feeling well. Few went on adding that he is also attacked by dreaded cancer and that is why his presence got bleak on silver screen these days.

Condemning all these reports, Krishna Bhagavan reportedly breathed fire for spreading such gossips. 'I'm fully fine and alright. Currently I'm busy with Rudramadevi shooting and marriages in my home have kept me occupied for a while without being able to undertake any projects', said Krishna Bhagavan. 'There is nothing like cancer or any other illnesses', said hastily, the miffed actor.

Krishna Bhagavan is known for his comic timing and delivering lengthy one liners with ease. However his headstrong attitude is the reason for missing out few big projects, as this character artist is having the habit of attending sets of a shoot drunken. Else, he is all fine and happening.

Bahubali breaks all the existing records

Rajamouli's magnum opus Bahubali is expected to be the first ever 100 crore film in Telugu Cinema History. The expectations on this film are unparalleled as everyone is expecting this film to rewrite history at any cost. With the expectations on the film rising by the day buyers are willing to pay any amount to bag the rights of Bahubali.
        
As per reliable sources, Bahubali (two volumes) distribution rights of Ceded area have been sold for 13 crore rupees. This is mindboggling and never before figure for any Telugu film. Highest ever business in this area was done for Magadheera (13 Crores+). So buyers are expecting nothing short of Magadheera. As Bahubali is releasing in two volumes buyers must be looking at over 15 crore in Ceded area alone.
        
Karnataka rights of two volumes of Bahubali have been sold for 9 crore rupees. Needless to say that this is a huge record. The film is getting sensational offers from other areas too. Looking at the current trend, this film may do pre release business close to 100 crores for both the volumes. Bahubali is going to be the benchmark of the business range of Telugu Cinema without an iota of doubt.

Donations rain to Lokesh led TDP party fund

Nara Lokesh son of CM Chandrababu Naidu and the TDP coordinator and convener for the party workers welfare fund is a busy man now days.  Not only he is busy organizing party activities in districts but also successfully campaigning to raise funds for the party workers welfare fund.

Three party admirers from Chittor - Rallapalli Sudha Rani, Dr Rachakonda Guruprasad of Madanapalli, Shiekh Hussain of Pileru together gave Rs.5.7 lakhs to the TDP party fund.  The TDP party workers welfare fund is now Rs. 23 crore rich and Lokesh is devising programs to provide support to party workers families who suffered attacks from YSRC and others by way of schooling, medicare and monthly pensions for up keep.

This is not going well with Rakul for the now, say insiders, as the youngsters wants to turn heads as this is her immediate after successful Venkatadri Express. Let us see what happens.

A while ago, The ace filmmaker tweeted, "Apologies.. I said Stalin instead of Tagore yesterday in alluduseenu audio launch."

Notably, Rajamouli faced an embarrassing situation when he committed a similar mistake during Kamal Haasan's Viswaroopam audio launch in Hyderabad. Wish he comes across this defect!

L&T gave shock to KCR on Hyderabad Metro Project?

There are many doubts on continuing the prestigious Hyderabad Metro rail project. As per latest buzz, that Larsen & Turbo (L&T) may withdraw from half-way completed project. There is no confirmation either from Government authorities or from L&T officials. But news spread that L&T made intimation to the TRS Government saying that it will not interested to continue this project. 
 
TRS Government called up L&T authorities to discuss ongoing Hyderabad Metro Rail Project. During their discussion Telangana Chief Minister KCR made it clear to maintain underground construction without disturbing Heritage and Historical Monuments. This sudden twist is the reason for L&T withdraw from the project. L&T feel that it was incorrect to put conditions in the middle. KCR was made it clear during the election campaign.  
 
“TRS will destroy all constructed Metro Pillars soon after TRS came into the power.” L&T has constructed all Pillars in the city and also imported 3 Metro rails for trail run. L&T has planned to run first phase will be completed on August 15, 2015. L&T is not satisfied on latest developments after TRS Government take the charge. KCR wants to change the design and asked to construct underground Metro Rail. L&T is helpless in constructing underground Metro Rail system. This was not good for Telangana government, if L&T stops Hyderabad Metro Rail in the middle.

Old Heroine's Sensual Acts

Former heroine, 39 year old sexy starlet Raveena Tandon was recently seen sizzling on silver screen in Mohan Babu's 'Pandavulu Pandavulu Tummeda'. Despite growing old, she maintained her curvaceous look and is now getting ready to showcase her sexual escapades.

For starters, Raveena is all set to take up an interesting offer in Bollywood where she will be seen as a modern aged woman indulging in steamy sex affairs with younger men. In fact this is the role that terrified actress Sangeetha Bijlani, and she left the movie much before shoot is started. Titled 'Shaab', this movie will be directed by Onir and has one fully blown love making scene and many lip-kisses. Director Onir stated that Raveena agreed to become part of this project after returning from Los Angeles, where she currently stays.

What if Raveena gets scared to do those sexual escapades on silver screen? Director Onir is quick to reply, 'Raveena is already prepared for the sensual scenes that will be shot aesthetically'. So wait for the former seductress to do the same again.

Dil Raju to Talk to KCR for Nag?

It is common knowledge that Nagarjuna's property N-Convention Centre, in Madhapur of Hyderabad, is in news for wrong reasons although no official statement has been made neither by GHMC nor by any government official yet. Nagarjuna who is acuminate businessman with meticulous planning apparently wants to act proactively on the issue in order to clear his name. Nag don't want to get bad reputation and hence weighing out all options to get out of this land issue.

According to media reports, producer Dil Raju is stepping in to bail out Nagarjuna out of this. It is learnt that Raju and Nag has become good friends of late. Raju recently helped out Nag by releasing Naga Chaitanya's Autonagar Surya which had been lying in cans for a while. Dil Raju has wide political contacts in Telangana government and has access to Chief Minister KCR and several other ministers. So, Dil Raju might hold deliberations or negotiations in on behalf of Nagarjuna to rescue N-convention centre owned by Nag.

Unlike previous YSR's government, Nagarjuna hasn't have much contacts with present T-government. This is why Nag wants Dil Raju's help to get rid out of this issue. In return, Nag is going to act in Dil Raju's upcoming multi-starrer which also has Jr NTR in the lead. Of course, all this is mere speculation but there is no confirmation from both parties.

Oops! Nayantara Has Not Erased

Seductress Nayantara has forgiven her lovers and is enjoying her time by forgetting those love-stories. But still there are some traces which she couldn't hide, and here is one.

Chennai is quite abuzz from a couple of months that Nayantara is going to Bangkok to get a tattoo done. Oops, she isn't getting any tattoo etched on her curvaceous body but she wants to get rid of an old one. Some reports have confirmed that she erased 'Prabhudeva' tattoo on her left arm which she got inked when she is in neck deep love with dance master. However, Nayan hasn't given up on that tattoo yet.

When this beautiful lady graced an audio launch event on Saturday morning, she gave an ample view of 'Prabudeva' tattoo on her hand, proving that it is not erased Earlier Nayantara used to cover that with costumes in various ways, but now she isn't really bothered that media is looking at it.

Jagan Should Stop This Non-Sense

No doubt, the blast of a gas pipeline of Gas Authority of India Limited (GAIL), public sector firm run by state government, in  Nagaram village in East Godavari district is a dreadful tragedy. A massive fire, triggered suspectedly after a tea vendor lit up a stove in the vicinity of the leaking pipeline running through residential areas of Nagaram village caused 17 dead and 18 injured (as per latest reports). The disaster is going to have long impact on the locales and it is really unfortunate.

Both State government and Central government have immediately responded and swung into action. Efforts are being made to 'save' the injured who has burns in the tragedy. 100% medical treatment is provided. Government has announced an ex gratia of Rs 25 Lakh each would be given to the kin of those who died.

The Leader of Opposition YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's demand for compensation is raising many eye brows. Needless to say that Jagan is "politicizing" the issue. Jagan Reddy has demanded for Rs 1 crore compensation to each person's family who lost their lives in the deadly blast. Jagan's demand is practically impossible and he is aware that Rs 1 Crore compensation is out of question given that new State of Andhra Pradesh is mired in neck-deep financial woes as the budget of the State is in huge deficit.

Yet CM Chandra Babu Naidu managed to announce Rs 25 Lakh compensation, with the help of centre, and it is reasonable although no one can bring back the lives. It is highly unfortunate that Opposition party, which should play constructive and objective role during such man-made disasters, is painting politics and want to take political advantage out of such dreadful tragedy. It's high time Jagan must wake up to reality and talk some sense but not non-sense. All the victims now need is love and affection but not sympathy and compensation.

Sunny Leone shakes Tollywood

Indo Canadian Porn Star turned Bollywood actress Sunny Leone is all set to make her Tollywood debut with Manchu Manoj's Current Teega. The actress is currently in Hyderabad shooting for the movie. She plays a glamorous teacher in the movie. However the actress is creating ripples in the industry. 
 
Producers, directors and actors are queuing up at the shooting location to take a close look at her. The movie unit say the location has got more guests than the actual unit and is never like before since they started the film shooting. They are also feeling inconvenient since the movie shooting is getting delayed due to repeated breaks to unavoidable celebrity visits only for Sunny Leone. 
 
Manchu Manoj seems to be having a gala time with her on the nets. Manoj had tweeted some nice things about her in his Twitter page, “Lovely doll sunny is the nicest person I worked with..having a fantastic time with her in “Current Theega” shoot :)". The actress will only be seen in a song and a five minutes scene in the movie. And the actress had charged a whopping 25 Lakhs and allotted just 3 days of her dates for the shooting. 
 
Current Teega shooting is currently progress at brisk pace. Rakul Preet Singh will be romancing Manoj in this film. Veteran music director Manisharma will be composing the tunes for this action entertainer. Nageswara Reddy earlier directed Manchu Vishnu's Denikaina Ready, the movie went to become a good hit. Manoj is hoping that he repeats the same magic with him too.

New HighWay for AP - Gadkari

National Highway and Rural Development Minister Nitish Gadkari has announced that BJP Government has approved for New Highway for Andhra Pradesh. As per Gadkari, New Highway would be 500 KMs distance and request the AP Government for the proposals. 
 
Gadkari left the decision to construct New Highway to AP Government. Gadkari announced this after AP Chief Minister CBN met him. Gadkari also responded for CBN proposal to extend NH-5 from existing 6 lines to 8 lines. In 1998, Vajpayee led BJP Government extended NH-5 to Six lane roads. NH-5 extension and interlinking roads to 13 coastal ports helps the state drastically. 
 
Reportedly, Nitish Gadkari expressed that his ministry would consider all proposals that were send by AP government without any rejection. CBN has also planned to construct International Airport within a year between Guntur and Vijayawada. 
 
He urged Union Minister Ashok Gajapathy Raju to clear all pending proposals for the extension of Gannavaram Airport. AP Government will able to build Runway within a year after getting all permissions.

Can Sonia convince KCR?

The plight of Telangana Congress leaders, the less said the better. Even after granting Telangana they couldn’t manage to win the confidence of people. Now even after loss, they are in no mood to bury their differences. And at the same time Congress leadership in Delhi is unable to act as per cadre feedback. 
 
Even after knowing that Ponnala Lakshmaiah as PCC chief is not working out, Sonia decided to continue him. This has resulted in the exodus of even senior Congress leaders like Amos, who were upset about it, into TRS. 
 
Now with TRS merger in Congress becoming history, Congress is only hoping T-Congress doesn’t merge with TRS. As part of this, D Srinivas reportedly lifted his hands off and said he will take TRS attitude to Sonia’s notice regarding operation Aakarsha. Well, given her status as ‘Devatha’ can Sonia ask KCR to stop ruining her party!

I have no complaints on directors for that

Bollywood heroines spell out plenty of wishes and complaints on directors on various issues. They are not happy with what they earn and most them complaint for not giving them a perfect remuneration. Many stars including Aishwarya rai complained on this issue previously but Kareena kapoor the bebo said she had no such complaints.  
 
"I get paid very well and I have no complaints. If it's a big budget film, they can afford and what works for another actress might not work for somebody else," the actress told reporters in a group interview. It was during that time Kareena said that she will fight for "equal pay cheques" for both actors and actresses. I feel each and every actor is different. 
 
For example, I can never do 'The Dirty Picture'. I don't have that courage and boldness but for me it's a challenge to be a part of 'Golmaal 3' and still have a great role. It's an honour for me to be a part of 'Singham' and that works for me. It's unfair to draw any comparisons," she added.

Real estate boom in Telangana soon: KTR

Telengana Government will take up effective steps with more incentives to bring back real estate boom which had slumped since last one year.

Mahesh Babu forced to Pre-Pone?

Mahesh Babu starrer 'Aagadu' was supposed to hit the screens on September 26th to capitalize on the Dussehra season. However, The official announcement from the makers of 'Govindudu Andari Vaadele' regarding the release on October 1st has played the spoilsport.

Exhibitors and Distributors fear if 'Aagadu' and 'Govindudu Andari Vaadele' release without much gap one film will eat-up the collections of the other and they will have to sacrifice few crores in such scenario (SVSC-Nayak, 1 Nenokkadine-Yevadu). Hence, Distributors appealed 'Aagadu' Producers to ensure a minimum gap of 2 weeks so that both the films could make the most out of the holiday season.

'Aagadu' release has been pre-poned by one week. Now, The latest release date is September 19th. Audio launch will be in the 3rd week of August this year. Currently, Mahesh Babu is taking part in the shooting of action sequences in Bellary. He will return to Hyderabad on July 2nd to shoot a special song with Shruti Haasan.

Dil Raju under attack

Ace producer Dil Raju seems to have lost his judgement on the films. Few months ago, it was 'Ramayya Vastavayya' and now 'Autonagar Surya'. The result was one and the same.

During the audio launch of 'Ramayya Vastavayya', Dil Raju declared this mass entertainer is a confirmed super hit. The fate of this film after the release is known to one and all.

During the triple-platinum disc function of 'Autonagar Surya', Our Golden-Hand Producer announced that the last 25 minutes of the intense action flick is gonna be highlight. Much to the shock, Audience didn't find anything exciting in the second half of the film and their wait for the best to come ended as a big disappointment.

Why was Dil Raju making such tall statements these days? Did he lost his judgement or deliberately following this strategy for creating hype? Whatever it may be, He needs to be very careful from now as there is every possibility of film lovers losing faith on him and his reputation is at stake.

CBN introducing Muslim leader to control Jagan

Chandrababu Naidu has opted for a cabinet that is a mixed bag containing the experience and fresh faces. The new team of ministers comprised one Vysya and two from SCs, five from Kamma community (including Chandrababu), four from the Kapu community, six from BCs and two from the Reddy community. The Tribal and Muslim communities remained unrepresented as of now. 
 
Now Chandrababu is planning to introduce a Muslim leader into his cabinet. The move is aimed at sending a clear message to the minorities that the TDP is committed to safeguard the benefits of Minorities despite its tie-up with the BJP. 
 
Ironically TDP does not have a single MLA from the Muslim community in the Assembly though there are four from the YSRC. Chandrababu who recently held discussions with Muslim leaders is planning to induct a Muslim leader into his cabinet first and then will have him elected to the Legislative Council.
 
Sources close to Naidu said that he is also under pressure from minority community leaders in the party to induct one in the ministry. Other side opposition YSRC has repeatedly cornered the ruling party in the Assembly over not having minority representation either in the Assembly or in the council of ministers. 
 
Before elections Majority of Muslims in the Seemandhra backed YSR Congress as TDP formed an alliance with BJP. This helped YSR Congress to secure 4 MLA seats in the polls. This sudden move of inducting Muslim into cabinet is to welcome back the minorities who moved closer to YSR Congress after the tie-up with BJP in recent polls. 
 
The CM realises how important it is to have a Muslim in the Cabinet so that the community vote bank does not remain permanently elusive. As of now, Former Minister N Md Farooq, Md Shareef (Narsapur, WD) and former MLA Ziauddin have been in the race.
