KCR, Harish Rao pulling TRS

0
TRS has nmany fire brand leaders but from the beginning the party is mostly dependent on KCR and his nephew Harish Rao who used to be in the forefront in galvanising the party cadre with his spontaneous and daring actions. However now the party and its cadre is in utter confusion after KCR’s Delhi Yatra as one doesn’t know the full developments of the discussions KCR had with Cong. They are unable to understand how to respond to the suspicious queries from media and telangana people in particular. In the midst of all this the diversing paths taken by KCR and Harish Rao is becoming the talking point in the party.
 
While Harish Rao is taking Cong head on going hammer and tongs at every small opportunity, KCR is maintaing his cool, giving statements that there will be some favorable announcement from Govt during Dasara.
 
While KCR during his discussions with TJAC and NGOs in his farm house expressed hope that Cong will come out with some favorable statement. However Harish Rao seems to be having other opinions and feels that Cong will never give Telangana and is taking his uncle for a ride. What ever may be their opinions, both uncle and nephew are pulling TRS in different directions.

CBN Collapsing

TDP supremo Chandra Babu Naidu has taken a bold decision to go on pada yatra to cover entire nook and corner of the state for 117 days in the run up to the elections in 2014. He took this extreme step to motivate cadre whose morale is sagging with the string of defeats the party suffered in all bypolls held in the state right after 2009. The yatra titled Vastunna Meekosam is finding favor with cadre as it started rejenuvating them and even villagers started sympathysing with Babu. They felt at the age of 63yrs there is no need for him to hit the roads and walk like a commoner. However many wonder whether these sympathies turn to votes when the polling day comes.
 
The strenuous conditions prevailing in the yatra has taken heavy toll of Babu as he already collapsed twice sending distress signals to TDP cadre. Now the party is worried whether Babu would be able to complete the yatra. To the top of it, its worries are doubled as YSRCP Sharmila is all set to launch her own yatra. Already he suffered from eye pains. ankle sprains and once he fell down. It has to be seen till howlong Babu can continue his yatra.

Whom is Don challenging?

0
Nagarjuna is popular as Tollywood lover boy and he has immense female fan following. Even now genex heroes are envious of his female fan following. He has donned many films in which he spellbound as lover boy or hero sandwiched between two beautiful heroines. Everyone loved him in those roles and even Nag recently revealed that he is scared of donning the roles of dons and gun wielding mafia leaders.
 
However in the recently released posters of Damarukam, Nag is seen in quite different role sporting sxix pack abs which even younger lot are thinking twice to do it. This left many wondering whom is Don challenging sporting six pack abs. Prince Mahesh already revealed that he once tried sporting six packs but while working out he noticed some abnormal changes in his face and big good bye.
 
That leaves only Mega heroes and Nandamuri heroes.One can rule out Nandamuri heroes as Young Tiger NTR’s physique doesn’t suite for a six pack while of Mega Heroes Ram Charan hasn’t tried but Allu Arjun is the one who introduced six packs to Tollywood. He can take up Nag’s challenge and even Prabhas and Rana, tollywood’s hot heroes can enter the fray. One has to wait and see whether there are any takers for Nag’s challenge.

She said her dad feels something wrong with the jury and always vents his feelings even when she asks him to let it go.
 
Manchu Lakshmi is now featuring in an important role in Maniratnam’s Kadali and said though she got some roles as heroine, she felt that they just want to market their films using her name and so rejected them.

0
The all promising career of  Choreographer turned director Lawerence seem to be in danger  following a complaint by the producers of Rebel movie. The makers have complained that the director had reportedly promised the makers to complete the movie in 22.5C but the budget shot up to 40C after completion. The producers say that they have recovered 35C from the movie and had finally incurred 5C loss due to Lawerence’s negligence. And demanded the loss to be recovered from the director.

The drama did not end there. Lawerence also lodged a complaint on the producers with the Director’s Association that the producers had sold off the dubbing and remake rights of the movie with out informing him. He says that the producers promised to give the dubbing rights of the movie to him but failed to keep their promise. We will have to see if Lawerence’s career is in danger!

NTR eagerly waiting for Naayak?

0
Wonder why? Here is the detail. Rajamouli and Vinayak are two favourite directors of NTR. Vinayak had given him the first break in the form of Aadi and Rajamouli had given the stardom with Simhadri. Rajamouli is committed for the next 2 years and NTR is now looking at Vinayak to deliver one more blockbuster. Vinayak had reportedly narrated a storyline to NTR and the actor seem to be very much impressed with it.
 
Vinayak is currently directing Naayak with Ram Charan and will begin a new movie which will have senior producer Bellamkonda Suresh’s son in the lead role. This combination will go on to sets after that. So, NTR is eagerly waiting for Naayak and other movie to complete.

Tale of two directors

0
Tollywood has witnessed two directors getting entangled with their film makers with both the issues going to respective producers and directors council. While Puri Jagannath, Industry’s ace director approached Directors’ Association complaining against DVV.Danayya for withholding his remuneration of Rs 4crs for Pawan Kalyan, Tamanna starrer ‘Cameraman Gangato Rambabu’ which he directed, Rebel film makers J.Pullarao and J.Bhagavan approached producers council against Kollywood director Raghava Lawrence by exceeding the decided budget of Rs 22.5crs of the film and finishing the project at Rs 45crs.
 
Both these raises pertinent questions whether film makers and directors understand each other perfectly. While Puri Jagannath is known for his perfect planning and finishing his project on or before time with out any delay, why should any producer withhold his remuneration which he is claiming for his hard work. At the same time one wonders what were Rebel film makers doing when Raghava Lawrence delaying their project thus increasing their cost of film making. Why did they not approach producers council prior to the release of the film. Did they wait till the fate of the film is decided.
 
This shows that both directors and producers should understand eachother for better cooperation so that these kind of unwanted and avoidable controversies will can be avoided.

Tollywood fans too selfish

0
Many say that stars and their films should be seen differently. Even they have their personal life and fans or for that matter anyone shouldn’t dictate or force their opinion on stars. However diehard fans sometimes force their opinion so much so on them that they will be forced to change their decisions. This was the reason why top heroes shy away from doing multi starrers as though according to script there will be some highs and lows in their roles, fans are not in a position to accept and this may lead to unnecessary street fights.
 
It seems tollywood fans seems to be too selfish compared to their other counterparts. While in Kollywood, Mollywood and Bollywood many top heroes shared screen presence and even their sons and daughters made their debut in the film industry this was not that case here. When sometime back Superstar Krishna planed for his daugher’s debut in films, fans held a huge protests against the move.He finally had to backtrack and totally disband the move. Fans are ok with their heroes sons making their debut but they are not in favor of heroes daughters acting in films. Even in Manchu Lakshmi’s case she is seen in negative or special roles and not as heroine. One has to wait and see what will be their reaction if she romances a top hero.
 
This is unlike Kollywood where Vijay Kumar’s daughter Preetha, Vijaychander daughter Sridevi, Kamal’s daughter Shruti Hasan, Arjun’s daughter Aishwarya, Sarath Kumar daughter Varalakshmi, Radha’s daughters Tulasi, Kartika made their debuts or on the verge of making their debuts.Many feel that fans should come out of narrow mindsets and allow their heroes and their kin to pursue what they want and love to do.

Cong to hang KCR

0
Till recently Cong and for that matter any other political party never dared to act against KCR and his party TRS. However after KCR’s month long stay in Delhi, equations seem to have changed. While KCR started boasting of signals from Sonia and Cong High Command, Cong stepped the steam and with Ghulam Nabi Azad and Home Minister Shinde cut all the signals saying formation of Telangana is extremely difficult. Though KCR inspite of all these negative signals maintained calm and did not stop talking about telananga announcement by Dasara, his party cadre did voice token protest.
 
While T MPs from Cong like Keshava Rao and others went hammer and tongs, APCC chief Botsa Satyanarayana who till recently questioned all what was wrong with telugu people having two states, changed tack and unearthed TRS signed 2004 agreement with Cong. The agreement signed by the then no 2 in TRS, Ale Narendra agreeing for second SRC on Telangana.
 
Many feel Cong High Command don’t want to get into trouble creating Telangana as it opens a Pandora box across the country. So it unearthed KCR and his party’s 2004 alliance agreement during which they agreed for second SRC. Many feel this was the reason why KCR is maintaining silence. Botsa took class to KK not to go hammer and tongs on Azad as he only said formation of telangana is quite difficult. Now it has to be seen whether second SRC will include only telangana or other regions of the country craving for separate states.
 
In the meantime while KCR is not opening his mouth on Cong high command, his party leaders are venting their ire locally.

AP Govt contradictory views on poverty

0
Now a days it has become popular for politicians to twist their tongues on numerous occasions and when they find themselves in the dock, they blame media saying saying media and journalists misinterpreted their words even though what ever they said would be recorded on camera. They will even go to the extent of claiming that the videos are doctored. AP Govt functioning is quite pathetic as one gets the feeling whether it exists at all or not. Ministers wont cooperate with CM and each one pull the Govt in different directions. Even when policy decisions are taken, they dont implement them.
 
Long time back in one film Parachuri Gopalakrishna asks a media person to print one press note if it happens according to that way orelse another press release if it happens in the opposite manner. It seems even AP Govt is following same strategy as it issued two statements on Poverty and people below poverty line.
 
The Govt proudly claimed that the state stood first in implementing 20 point formula to eradicate poverty. This means that poverty is on decrease in the state. However the same Govt says that more than 95% people received white cards as they belong to BPL. When media asked this discrepancy 20 point program Chairaman Tulasireddy said both the stats are different in their own way.

Parties’ political spy games

0
It is common for opposition parties to try and derive mileage from the mistakes committed by ruling party. AP state for long used to have only two parties which used to enjoy power alternately. However scenes have changed and now there are many powerful parties that are playing spoilsport with their dreams and aspirations. YSRCP emerged powerful player which started taking on both ruling Cong and opposition TDP singlehandedly. It started to be in the forefront in whatever may be the issue of public importance like fees protests, power dharnas and even padayatras.

However this led to new scenario as the moment YSRCP started announcing protest programs in 3-4 days time, TDP used to start protests on the same issue the very next day. This competition even in protests is something new which people of the state are witnessing. Insiders reveal that since TDP is getting information about the strategies and plans of YSRCP before hand through its spies, it started its protests and yatras before the party.

Sources say that even CBN started his padayatara after getting confirmed reports that YSRCP was planning for a grand padayatra soon. Now anyway Sharmila is countering him. YSRCP leaders say that Jagan planned for a massive yatra with the confidence that he would get a bail. However with TDP getting info about his yatra launched the similar program with its leader. Now sources say that with Sharmila entering fray, Babu may extend his yatra.

CBN-Kodandaram spring surprise

0
There is a popular saying in politics that there are no permanent friends and enemies in politics. This was proven right many times and now once again bitter rivals are teaming together to the surprise and shock of all. They are none other than TDP supremo Chandra Babu Naidu and TJAC President Kodandaram. This unison is more than 8th wonder in the world as TJAC led by Kodandaram along with KCR of TRSspit venom on Chandra Babu branding him as non entity in telangana region. They along with the people of telangana brandished him as traitor of telangana for his dual eye policy but g9iving benefit of doubt to Cong leaders who are following the same policy.
 
However now that with differences cropping up between KCR and Kodandaram as KCR maintaining stoic silence on telangana and moving closer to Congress and Kodandaram advocating rise in public protests, Kodandaram feels he needs some strong political backing. As Babu is on his padayatra and PM visiting Hyderabad today, he planned to conduct mass protests against PM showing the power of telangana. With KCR and TRS not interested in the protests, TDP which is for the protests is joining hands with TJAC. Already sources say both CBN and Kodandaram conversed over phone and now they will be in joint action.
