This was not good for Telangana government, if L&T stops Hyderabad Metro Rail in the middle.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Telangana Government has declared his birth anniversary celebrations as State function. This move by KCR is laudable and commendable.

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.

Gas spread for whole night in one-acre area?

The tragedy which has taken place today early in the morning when the GAIL pipeline exploded in East Godavari district is reportedly due to the negligence of ONGC and GAIL authorities. This is not the first time the authorities have taken things casually. 

 

Sources say that the pipeline was two decades old and it was rusty which was repaired partially few weeks back. And the gas leaked from pipeline reportedly spread to a one acre area for the whole night. When a woman in household reportedly woke up in morning to light firewood at a kitchen in the village, the house caught fire including the whole village, the coconut plantations and even many animals died immediately catching fire. 

 

After the disastrous Pasarlapudi blow out incident in 1995, to this day it looks like Konaseema is sitting on a gas bomb with many pipelines crisscrossing the region, also a perfect recipe for disaster in the future too.

TV9 and ABN telecasts to be restored in TG!

In all probability, the telecast of the banned News Channels TV9 and ABN Andhra Jyothy will be restored very soon in Telangana region. ABN Andhra Jyothy had knocked the doors of high court opposing the ban. The High court had directed Hyderabad Police Commissioners and Collectors of all Telangana districts to look in ABN's petition. 

 

The court also issued a notice to MSOs Association, Association President Subash Reddy and Central Government regarding the ban and posted the next hearing on to July 3rd. ABN Andhrajyothy in the petition alleged that the ban was imposed only on hidden political agenda and it has not aired any defamatory or false news wantedly or unwantedly. They also mentioned that the channel management had already complained about the issue to concerned officials, Central government and the governor but no action was taken and the ban continued.  

 

Experts say that MSOs have no right to regulate the telecast of a channel. They can not issue directives to any channel regarding what should be aired and what should not be aired. So, they say the ban will be lifted very soon.

Kamalanathan Committee’s shocker to Telangana?

The C R Kamalanathan committee which has been created to allocate state government employees to the two states of AP and Telangana has reportedly decided not to meddle with any appointments which are made against the Presidential Order, which is expected to trigger a controversy. 

 

The committee will reportedly finalize its guidelines for distribution on June 30 and seek objections from employees before forwarding it to Centre for approval. After the approval is secured, the staff distribution process is expected to be wrapped up by March 2015. The Kamalanathan committee has reportedly taken a decision not distribute employees recruited in the open category on the basis of merit as it may invite legal wrangles. 

 

At the same the committee has also reportedly decided not to alter nativity rules as demanded by some TRS leaders and will be only following the service registers of employees to establish their nativity. Though TRS leaders are reportedly demanding that different aspects be taken into account to decide on employees’ nativity, the committee is reportedly not in a mood to accept the same because experts feel it would lead to bigger problems when it starts dividing 54,000 employees who need to be divided between the two states.

Baahubali Is The Father Of Kochadaiyaan

Of course, this is not about the biological link or any other relation we want to make regarding these two legendary characters, of which we have seen one already and one is in the offing. Let us talk about already released 'Kochadaiyaan' and 2015 release 'Baahubali' folks.

Rajnikanth's Kochadaiyaan is a flop show at box office, but the film stands somewhat tall in Indian cinema for extensive use of graphics, motion capturing and visual effects. However, any movie that lacks on content part is going to end up in trash can only. Coming to Baahubali, VFX of this movie are going to be the double of what we have seen in Kochadaiyaan.

Almost all the scenes and shots in this magnum opus are said to be getting a touch of visual effects and animation. In this two-part flick, loads of action sequences, war scenes and violent chases are taken to next level through computer graphics only and director Rajamouli is leaving no stone unturned to present Baahubali in the range of 'The 300' and 'Troy'.

Looking at the way this flick is consuming huge time for pre-production and post-production we could easily guess that efforts are on the way to make it father of Kochadaiyaan.

I Can't Leave My Husband: Heroine

Till date, this hot 32 year old siren has given run for the money for many producers and their big projects. With 100 Crore collecting ventures like 3 Idiots, Ra.One, Golmaal 3 and Bodyguard on her kitty, Kareena Kapoor is that one star heroine who cannot ignore.

But surprisingly the actress itself is not picking up any meaty roles and art flicks these days. Though Kareena acted as prostitute in Chameli at a time when she is just 21, now she is reluctant. 'I've done enough art flicks to prove my mettle. Right now I'm looking only for commercial movies', Kareena said. But then why are you not signing plush projects offered by Karan Johar? She replies in a pat, 'I'm married and can't leave my husband for 3 months to shoot abroad. I can't bear the separation'.

Shooting abroad is no big reason for an actress of Kareena's stature to tell, as her husband Saif Ali Khan could join her easily at the shooting spot whenever he is free. Looks like Kareena don't want to give Saif a chance.
