Kiran Raises Collar, As PM Restores Gas To AP

At a time when union petroleum minister S Jaipal Reddy was receiving brickbats from all sides including from his own Congress party leaders, Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy achieved a big success on Tuesday when Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh restored the supply of its due share of natural gas in KG basin to Andhra Pradesh.

According to a communiqué received by the Chief Minister’s Office from the PMO, the Prime Minister has ordered the petroleum and natural gas ministry to stop supply of 2.5 million standard cubic metres per day of natural gas to Dabhol power plant in Ratnagiri in Maharashtra and restore the same to Andhra Pradesh. This would significantly improve the power generation by gas-based power plants in the state and would bring down power crisis in the state. The gas was earlier diverted to Ratnagiri plant at the behest of union home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde, a few days before he relinquished power ministry.

All said and done, it is a big achievement for Kiran who had a meeting with the Prime Minister on Monday to explain the situation. This would naturally leave Jaipal Reddy red-faced as he miserably failed to protect the interests of the state. He, however, tried to cover up the failure stating that it was he who had advised Kiran to meet the PM to resolve the crisis.

Kiran Stonewalls Jaipal's CM Chances!

By making a hue and cry over the shifting of natural gas allocated to Andhra Pradesh to Maharashtra, Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy has hit two birds at one shot: blaming it on late Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy and stonewalling the prospects of union petroleum minister S Jaipal Reddy’s chances to succeed him as the Chief Minister.

In fact, the news about diversion of natural gas from Andhra Pradesh quota to fertilizer plant and power plant at Dabhol in Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra at the behest of home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde was said to have been leaked to the media from the CMO sources. Naturally, the opposition parties raised a lot of noise and the ruling Congress leaders, too, started accusing Jaipal Reddy of ignoring the state’s interests. Despite the clarification from Jaipal Reddy that the decision was taken by the empowered committee in 2008 itself and that he had no role in it, there were no takers for his argument. Naturally, he had to take all the blame.

This is a severe setback to Jaipal Reddy at a time when the Congress high command was reportedly trying to convince him to replace Kiran Kumar Reddy as the CM. Now, there would be definitely criticism as to how a person in the union cabinet who could not protect the interests of the state could be made the chief minister.

Secondly, with Jaipal himself claiming that the decision was taken in 2008 and that the state government was aware of the decision, Kiran and PCC president Botsa Satyanarayana got a chance to blame late YSR for keeping silent when the gas being diverted from AP to Maharashtra.

'Yevadu' Is Flop Film's Remake?

Taking inspiration from yesteryear movies and remaking them are two different lines. With the dearth of original content and quality storylines, many moviemakers have been adopting this strategy. And now, it looks like even the new movie ‘Yevadu’ seems to be a cocktail of that.

According to sources, the Ram Charan starrer is reportedly a mix of two films- ‘Manavudu Danavudu’ starring Krishna and the Hollywood movie ‘Face Off’ starring John Travolta and Nicolas Cage. However, ‘Manavudu Danavudu’ tanked at the box office at that time.

Though this is the strong buzz, few others are saying that director Vamshi Paidipally may have tweaked those scripts to suit the taste of the Telugu audience. The film also has Allu Arjun doing an important cameo so if the speculation about lifting from old movies is right, it remains to be seen how effectively it has been shaped up.

Can Mega Touch push her Career?

One might call it luck factor or the talent of modern PR, without securing even a single big hit till now tapsee surely is riding great in career as heroine. The way big offers are flowing into her kitty may surprise many of the strugglers in film circles. Latest update is tapsee also confirmed her seat besides Allu Arjun in the project to be directed by Puri Jagannath which might begin in the month of September.      Going by the past records, majority of beautiful babes who entered into Mega Compound haven’t gone down in fame without romancing the top heroes. That is the magic in ‘Mega Touch’ experienced well by top heroines like Kajal, Tamanna and now Shruti Hasan. Obviously, tapsee is dreaming the same to get further momentum to her career and may many more prestigious offers to knock her door. A Mega Tough to give Mega Lift.

Rambabu- The No.1 Journalist!

We have seen many heroes and heroines, who played 'journalist' characters in their movies. Some of them proved to be blockbusters while some more movies bit the dust. If we look at the movies, which are under production, many movies are coming up with the journalistic roles of heroes and heroines.  Power Star Pawan Kalyan's 'Cameraman Gangatho rambabu' is one such movie, which deals with the journalist characters of both the hero and the heroine. Tamanna is playing the  role of 'Cameraman Ganga' in this movie while Pawan Kalyan becomes mechanic turned media journalist. Since Pawan Kalyan's previous movie 'Gabbar Singh' went on  blockbuster, obviously, much craze on CGR has been generated and it is clearly seen in its pre release business. Moreover, the movie is being planned to dub in both Tamil and Malayalam languages. Based on all these factors, CGR has good number of chances to become the number one movie of 81 years of tollywood history consisting the journalist roles of the hero and the heroine.

Will Mokshagna Outsmart Cherry?

Nandamuri mokshagna's presence in the audio launch of 'Srimannarayan' led to many hot discussions across the state. His height, looks and inheritance of a reputed family are promising that he would surely become a super hero of tollywood in future. In this connection, many people are trying to compare him with Mega Power Star Ram Charan. In fact, there is a big reason for their comparison. Balakrishna was the competitor to Chiranjeevi among the masses. the same competition is expected from their successors as well.  Meanwhile, Ram Charan has already proved his mettle at the box office as a powerful mass hero through the hits and blockbusters such as 'Chirutha', 'Magadheera' and 'Rachcha'. Moreover, Cherry got an industry hit through his second movie itself in the form of 'Magadheera'. In this scenario, if Mokshagana makes his debut in the tollywood, he has a very big task to achieve it and that is, he needs to give an industry hit for his very first movie or the second movie. Will he achieve it? His supporters are very confident enough on him achieving this goal easily. Let's hope so.

Naresh depends upon Chiranjeevi

Allari Naresh’s sudden raise to stardom with ‘Sudigaadu’ will be continued further with one more upcoming movie in the direction of E. Satti Babu.

Earlier titles thought for this film are ‘Nela Thakkuvodu’ and ‘Yamundaa.’ Finally, makers have zeroed upon ‘yamudiki mogudu.’

No place for Jagan in that Book

The book 'Vote Of Confidence - Profiles of Young Politicians' by Aashti Bhartia is an attempt to constructively analyze several young politicians who are poised to lead us.

Aashti, who was educated at Columbia University, has written this book to project the aspirations of India's Young and Influential Politicians for the future of the country. She met the Young Politicos, took their personal interviews, paid constituency visits and also interacted with the people around them. The young politicians profiled in the book are: Akhilesh Yadav, Sachin Pilot, Ghanshyam Anuragi, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Meenakshi Natarajan, Ajoy Kumar, Ashok Tanwar, Manick Tagore, Janardhana Swamy, Jitin Prasada, Jayant Chaudhary, Nilesh Rane, Milind Deora, Sidhant Mohapatra, Kalikesh Deo, Deepender Hooda, and Anurag Thakur.

However, Aashti gave a miss to YS Jagan who is the much-talked about Young Politician in the country in the recent past. From UP's Akhilesh Yadav to Meenakshi Natarajan and Sachin Pilot, she gave a detailed study but nothing referring to Jagan. Did she avoided Jagan because of his corrupt past or couldn't reach out to him as he was in Jail since few months? Whether she knowingly or unknowingly avoid Jagan's column is not yet know, but this has become a talk in the political circles raising doubts.

Benchmark for a Tollywood Super Hit

.
In Bollywood collecting a gross collection of 100 crore in India has turned out to be the benchmark for a successful film. All the stars are aiming to reach that hundred crore mark with every film and we are witnessing more and more in the club in recent times. Likewise our Tollywood too has a benchmark for a super hit film.

Gone are the days where number of centers that the movie runs for fifty or hundred days used to be the true scale to measure a movie's success. Only number that matters now is how much share a movie collects. Tollywood has witnessed a string of super hits in less than a year's time and as per the statistics any movie that collects a share over forty crore can be termed as a super hit.

Businessman, Racha and Eega collected over forty crores share this year and Gabbar Singh went on to cross 60 crore rupees share. Gabbar Singh and Dookudu (55 crores share) were blockbusters as they went an extra mile and made it to 60 and 50 crores clubs respectively. 30 crores share used to be the benchmark for a Telugu film in the past. Now our super hits are crossing that mark in our state alone. Tollywood is shining and how? 

Hot Villain's Mysterious Disappearance

One of the most sought after and hot villains in the southern circuit is Sonu Sood and lately he has begun to make his presence felt strongly in the Bollywood circuit too. However, the last one week have been quite pensive as it is heard that Sonu has gone missing and is untraceable.


Well, before anyone can panic here is the update. It is heard that this muscular man is in Canada and is busy hosting a show. The catch is, Sonu had reportedly forgotten his mobile at the Frankfurt airport. It is heard that this is the very expensive Vertu Luxury mobile phone.

Buzz is that it is in the custody of the officials of the private airline and they have refused to hand it over to any known contact of Sonu. Instead, they are sending it to Sonu’s sister who lives in the US. Apparently, Sonu is meeting his sister around August 10th so after that he would be traceable. Till such time, he will be out of range.

'SVSC'- Venky's Blunder?

Ever since Victory venkatesh has accepted to do a multi starrer in the combo of  Prince Mahesh Babu for the movie 'Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu', some of his supporters are said to have annoyed with his decision to act a multi starrer. According to them, venkatesh's image would not get any damage if he does muilti starrer with a senior hero like Kamal Haasan, as he did the movie 'Eenadu' with him. However, if he acts with a junior hero, who has super stardom among the public, obviously, more importance is given to that superstar hero and that is happening now. Though, the makers have taken proper care to balance the characters of both the heroes in the movie, media may highlight Mahesh Babu's news rather venkatesh's.  On the other hand, some more fans of venkatesh are saying that the above argument is completely wrong and venkatesh's image might not get any damage and instead, he surely steals the show at the end of the day, surpassing Mahesh's show. Whose argument is right? What do you say folks?

Only Sunil And Arjun Can Hug Sunny Leone

Among the many sensations that keep happening in our country, one sensation which has been shaking the men a lot is Sunny Leone. Yes, this adult actress who has entered mainstream cinema is burning the nights of many men with her bikini stills and her nude scenes. And now she came up with a condition.
 
It is heard that Sunny has reportedly mentioned she will work and do romantic scenes with only those men who have good muscles and look strong. So, only those who have muscles can hug and squeeze her. From the time she came, many Tollywood folks are trying to get Sunny to the Telugu circuit.
 
But with her new condition, they are saying that only two men fit that bill. They are none other than Sunil and Allu Arjun. Well, they are the only actors who have visible 6-pack muscles. But it remains to be seen whether Sunny will accept Sunil due to his skin tone. Some say about Prabhas, but he has no visibly sturdy muscles like Sunil and Allu Arjun.
 
And if any of our heroes want to hug Sunny or pair with her then they must workout like Hrithik Roshan or Salman Khan.

Mega Hero Bags Bikini Model's Support

One should get a proper support from heroine in terms of glamour for a commercial cinema. And if they are going to don bikini to raise the heat, it will be a plus for the hero, at least for a debutant.

Mega 'struggling' hero Sai Dharam Tej is still fighting with his 'Rey' to get that mega-launch in Tollywood. The film got delayed with lead girl Shubra Ayappa walking out of it. But now, a Kingfisher bikini model is roped in and we all know how YVS Chowdary exploits the body of heroines.

Her name is Saiyami Kher. She is famous for her bikini shoots for various calendars in India and abroad. Sources revealed that she is going to sport all those skimpy and bold outfits for 'Rey' too.

Earlier we have seen how the glamour of Ileana helped Ram and Samantha helped Naga Chaitanya to give them a break during the start of their career. Even for Sai Dharam Tej, this bikini-magic might work as a huge support for his launch. The shooting of this film is progress now in San Francisco, USA and let us wait for more details!

Puri disappoints Mahesh fans

Businessman is one film the fans of Mahesh Babu enjoyed the most in the recent years. Although Dookudu was a tremendous success, it's only the terrific performance of Mahesh in this Puri's flick that completely satisfied the 'hungry' fans.

Till recently, everyone believed that a sequel of this action entertainer is on the cards. Even Puri had announced his plans to come up with a sequel to Businessman. Ram Gopal Varma who claimed to have heard the storyline of the sequel from Puri went ahead and declared during the success meet of the film that Businessman is nothing when compared to its sequel. However, Puri now confirms that there willn't be Businessman 2, instead he will come up with a new story for Mahesh soon.

Even Puri made a similar promise (Pokiri 2) earlier, but that hasn't materialised due to the reasons best known to him. Fans of Mahesh are miffed with this crazy director as he is unable to keep his promise for the second time. Although Pokiri 2 hasn't happened, Puri compensated the loss with Businessman. Will he repeat the same trick again is to be seen!

Ram Charan Director Hits Jackpot !

Sampath Nandi became a big name in Tollywood after directing Megapower Star Ram Charan's 'Racha'. From that time, he is struggling to sign his third movie and here comes the sensational news about it.

After directing romantic comedy 'Yemaindi Ee Vela' and action enetertainer 'Racha', Sampath got yet another chance to handle the biggest wigs of Mega heroes now. None other than Powerstar Pawan Kalyan has given nod for an exciting script narrated by this young director. Many people who have criticized Sampath for preparing outdated scripts, are now keeping their finger on mouths.

A source close to the director revealed that work started 10 days back and Sampath is leaving no stone unturned to showcase Pawan in a new avatar after Puri's 'Rambabu'. Even after the phenomenal success of Ramcharan's movie, this director didn't shot to the elite league of Tollywood's master crafters. We have to see what will Pawan's flick do to him.

Ram Charan's Race Course In Hyderabad

The fixation that Ram Charan has got for horses needs no introduction. Few months back he went ahead and bought the Hyderabad Polo club and its team as well. But here is the best part. It is not just Charan but also his wife Upasna who is a major fan of horses and loves breeding them.

So, it is heard that both are gifting each other horses. Something like that happened recently for Upsi’s birthday when Cherry gifted her a horse. Some are asking who will feed all these horses and what the couple is going to do with so many horses. But here is something new from the mega camp.

There are no race courses in Hyderabad like Bangalore or Pune so maybe Charan has thoughts of bringing something like that to Hyderabad. Horseracing is a very big and classy thing in India and some of the society’s elite tend to be part of it. Well, whether the race course comes or not, the love of the couple towards these animals is appreciable.

Samantha Really out from 'Yevadu'

It is a known thing that sexy starlet samantha has been suffering from a serious skin allergy. To undergo a better treatment, she has not been attending to her shooting schedules regularly. It is because of her absence, Prince Mahesh Babu and Victory Venkatesh starrer 'Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu' movie's shooting has got delayed. Also, the makers are said to have postponed the movie's release to this year end.  Mega Power Star Ram Charan's new movie 'Evadu's new schedule was started on 20th July. Samantha is doing the female lead of this movie. Ever since this schedule has begun, she has not been attending the shooting of the movie and obviously, a gossip has been created that she has been out of the project. However, sources close to the film unit are saying that the makers have not yet decided whether to remove Samantha from their movie or not. We will know the complete details very soon.

Priyanka's Sentiment to Make 'Zanjeer' SH!
