Unconcerned Mega Star !
Lot has been written about Mega Star Chiranjeevi. Some feel number of articles written on him after he made his political entry may be more than what he would have enjoyed in his film career. While many of them were critical of his moves, Chiru has taken his own decisions and is going great unconcerned about the happenings of the state. When the state is reeling under acute power problem, rising prices and many other burning issues Chiru is marketing himself as the next prospective candidate for CM post. His supporters issued statements and some congress leaders also supported Chiru’s aspirations.
Some like Vijayawada MP Lagadapati Rajagopal phoo phooed the news of Chiru as CM, common man is amazed at the mega marketing ways of Mega Star. After shifting his base to Delhi becoming RS MP, Chiru found able ally in Botsa Satyanarayana, APCC chief who started issuing statements on Chiranjeevi’s candidature. Though Mega Star might have mastered the art of marketing himself as the next CM of Andhra Pradesh, he should atleast learn to pretend that he is fighting for the cause of poor people which will earn respect from the poor. Mega Star may be the novice in these arts of hoodwinking people compared to other contenders for CM post, but a keen learner as he is, one can surely expect him to spring more surprises on them in future. Way to go Chiru!
Delay in funds making KCR fire?
KCR is one person whom on one can dissect and find out his true motives. When he keeps quiet it can be termed as silent before thunder storm and when he opens his mouth he breaths fire which no one can stop.Till recently he had been keeping quite no matter how much his rivals provocated him. Even when received shock of his barely scraping in Parakal by election, he did not utter a word. However he recently opened his mouth and breathed fire on all especially on media for mocking his statements on ‘signals from centre on formation of Telangana. He spit venom questioning if he don’t receive signals then road side romeos receive or what. He once again became furious on seemandhra people and on T congress representatives, targeting Jana Reddy.
Many feel that KCR is given lump sum amounts of cash and other benefits and till he gets those things in time he will be keeping quite. The moment he notices little bit of delay in transfer of funds, KCR will go hammer and tongs on central govt and T congress representatives who are the mediators in the entire deal. Once The problem is solved KCR will become ‘Khush’ and Telangana moment will again be put on back burner. One wonder when telanagna people will see through is game plan of opening and closing the ‘T’ tap.
Gas blocks on Jaipal’s CM road
Petroleum Minister at Centre, Jaipal Reddy would have never expected even in his dreams that CM aspirations would take such a heavy dent. When ever there was speculation of Change in CM post in Andhra Pradesh, Jaipal Reddy’s name used to crop up. Telangana MLAs and Ministers support him as he hails from the region and hope his ascendence to CM post, will be a signal for the formation of Telangana. Similarly MLAs and MPs from other regions support him as in many instances Jaipal voiced statements for united Andhra Praesh. Jaipal Reddy however decided to bid his time as he felt the situation and conditions in state his not conducive for him to become CM. He was of the opinion that with byelections every now and then and ministers divided on regional lines it would be difficult for him to get along, which tarnishes his image.
However when reports of change of CM started coming from Delhi and CM reeling under byelection losses, many felt that this time Jaipal will take CM post and try to rejunevate the party and cadre. Suddenly all his dreams were dashed with AP reeling in actute power shortage and shocking revelation that AP’s power has been diverted for Maharashtra’s project. While this generated lot of controversy, many made representation to PM in the leadership of CM kiran Kumar. Jailpal till now did not open his mouth raising suspicions about his role. While some tried to support him, many did not buy their argument that all happened prior to him becoming minister and he wasn’t even aware of the fact. Many feel Kiran with gas issue checkmated Jaipal’s moves of becoming CM of AP. Kiran’s moves finally evoked meek response from Jaipal stating that he has made representation to PM and the problem would be solved soon.
Congress self immolating itself
Strange are the ways of Congress. Many feel that Congress is on self immolation with various unpopular measures. Both its governments at State and Center are following same measures so that one gets the feeling that is is keen on wiping out the party in the State of Andhra Pradesh with out any trace. Many started comparing Congress rule YSR era and non YSR era and they list out that during YSR regime while YSR used to announce pro poor schemes and policies even before TDP chief Chandra Babu Naidu could think of to include in the manifesto, present Cong Govt are keen on doing away with all the schemes while Naidu is promising the same. Recently Chandra Babu promised 100 assembly seats to BCs to woo them away from Congress. The govt is doing away with BC fees reimbursements setting conditions and eligibility norms. Though this is attracting strong opposition from his own ministers and rest of the cadre, CM Kiran is hellbent on implementing them.
Already increasing power cuts, acute water problems,.increase in petrol prices, steep rise in pulses, vegetables is making poor furious about the current Congress govt and these steps will make them look for alternatives. With ministers,MLAs and other representatives keen on keeping their posts or getting higher or new posts neglecting causes of people, Congress is sure to face anti incumbency wave in next elections. It has to be seen who will benefit in the final out come during 2014 elections and whether anyone would be able to take advantage of such situation.
Top heroines deserting Tollywood?
Currently movie lovers may be enjoying the glamor quotient oozed by Tamanna, Kajal, Samantha, Tapsee, Nayanatara, Shruti Hasan, Amala Paul, Ileana and others. However if one analyse their moves then there is a insecure feeling that all these top heroines may desert Tollywood film industry sooner than later. Milky beauty Tamanna who is on a high after her glamor treat in ‘Racha’though is starring in Prabhas’ ‘Rebel’ and Power Star Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Cameraman Gangato Rambabu’ is all set to enter bollywood with ‘Himmatwala’ starring opposite Ajay Devgan. Even Samantha who is on ‘Dookudu’ may have slowed down a bit due to ill health.
However she is starring with Prince Mahesh in ‘Seetamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu’ and Ram Charan in ‘Yevadu’. Sams is also making her bollywood debut with ‘Assi Nabbe Poorey Sau’under Gautam Menon direction. Shruti Hasan who was branded till now as iron leg, is also making her bolly debut under Prabhu Deva’s untitled project after scoring a hit with ‘Gabbar Singh’. Tempting beauty Tapsee is also busy with her bollywood flick ‘Chashme Baddoor’ while Ileana though busy with ‘Barfee’ and another untitled flick in bollywood is testing her luck in telugu. Kajal is also romancing action star Akshay Kumar in ‘Special Chabbees’ . With Nayanatara , Amala Paul waiting in the wings all set to fly to bollywood and Anushka confining herself to kollywood, one can say that top heroines are deserting tollywood.
Balakrishna’s Cinema Classes
Natasimha Balakrishna is in a hurry to get his plans in order to realize his mission 2014. He is already preparing a base for himself and is laying strong foundation for his grand political entry. He tested waters in various bylections that were held in AP on different occasions and involved himself in campaigning, giving speeches and also performing some histrionics at his sister’s place. He has got two years to take full fledged plunge into politics and in the mean time he is getting his house in order. Currently on film front he has completed 97 films with ‘Srimannarayana’ and is keen on completing 100 films before signing off in style paying floral tributes for his dad, acting legend and former CM of AP, NTR. Once he bids adieu to film industry he doesn’t want nandamuri fans to experience his vacuum and so is training his son Mokshagna to make his tollywood sonner than later.
Many feel that Mokshagna’s tollywood debut will coincide with Balakrishna’s political entry so that it will be beneficial in both ways. Balayya plans to use his son’s tollywood debut to market himself in political front and at the same time market his son in TFI using his brand image. He is taking his son Mokshagna along with him to various cine functions to give him the first hand experience of the atmosphere and make him get used to the environment so that he won’t feel like fish out of water on his tollywood debut. Balakrishna is seen taking cinema classes to his son Mokshagna about etiquette and grooming himself. It has to be seen how Mokshagna competes with the likes of stars from Mega family and Akkineni family.

Trivikram goes Rajamouli’s way
Off late, Tollywood’s most successful director SS Rajamouli had started a strange trend of revealing movie story in advance and keeping the curiosity factors high because he has his own narration style. He did it for Marayada Ramanna and recently for Eega. And now, director Trivikram Srinivas did the same by revealing the main story of his up-coming movie Julayi.
In a recent TV interview this talented director says, “Arjun is happy-go-lucky youngster with an attitude to get rich over night and he doesn’t believe in hard earned moneyrather believes in easy money.At a certain point in the movie he falls in trouble with the money he earns by chance , he realizes his mistakes and changes his mind set. How he turns from a Street smart guy to a honest youngster forms the rest of the plot”.
Gopichand’s risky fight in Afghanistan
Gopichand and Taapsee along with director Chandrasekhar Yeleti and few technicians had recently shot a risky action sequence in Afghanistan on the backdrop of the unfamiliar buzkashi sport for their upcoming film.
