Over the past few weeks, the ugly spat between Bollywood's leading stars Hrithik Roshan and Kangana Ranaut has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons. A lot of allegations and accusations were exchanged between both the stars and their lawyers.
In an unexpected move, it is Kangana's ex-boyfriend and actor Adhyayan Suman's turn to make some startling revelations about Kangana's allegedly insane and abusive behavior. Adhyayan said that in his 5-years relationship with his Raaz 2 co-star Kangana, the actress abused him numerous times using filthy words like 'mother******', 'sister******' etc.
Adhyayan further revealed that Kangana even hit him with her stilettos on a couple of occasions in excessive rage and accused him of being jealous of her success in Bollywood. He went on to reveal that Kangana even practices black magic on him and performed tantric pujas in her hometown.
The young actor also revealed that it was Kangana who walked out on him when she started eyeing Hrithik during the making of Kites. Meanwhile, there has also been a lot of buzz that Bollywood stars ganging up to take their revenge on Kangana against her arrogant attitude.
In a most shocking incident ever, the Anti-Corruption Bureau sleuths have arrested AP state government official on Friday for having disproportionate assets, which are estimated as Rs 800 Crore at market value. A Mohan, a deputy commissioner in transport department in Kakinada, is the man in question. This is said to be the highest finding in the history of the ACB so far.
Acting on a tip off, the ACB officials started raids on Mohan's properties on Thursday and continued the raids on Friday on his houses in nine places of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. It is learnt that Mohan initially did not allow the ACB officials in his house. He also threw his mobile phone out. It was later recovered by officials who are examining it for details. Many precious gems, diamonds and other precious stones were found in the houses of Mohan and his relatives.
Mohan was arrested and produced before the ACB Court in Vijayawada on Friday. The document value of his properties is Rs 100 crore to Rs 120 crore.
Floated 8 Companies on Daughter's Name
To convert black money into white, Mohan said to had floated eight companies in the name of his elder daughter Tejasri. ACB officials could not trace the offices of the companies as per the addresses in the seized documents. Mohan had recently transferred some property at Bellary in Karnataka to his name from his in-laws' names.
12 Bank lockers yet to be opened
ACB officials said that 12 lockers were yet to be opened and searched. Many of the documents and lockers were in Hyderabad and would be counted in the process of investigation.
Series of Raids
The raids were conducted at Vijayawada, Anantapur, Kadapa, Bellary, Medak, Nellore, Prakasam and some places in Hyderabad. Ms Ramadevi said that three DSPs including her, nine circle inspectors, sub-inspectors and nearly 10 personnel were conducting the raids. -

Finally after several months long wait, director Sreenu Vaitla's latest film which will feature young Mega hero Varun Tej, Lavanya Tripathi and Hebah Patel was officially kick-started a couple of days ago.
Sreenu Vaitla confirmed that his latest film with Varun Tej will be a romantic entertainer. Incidentally, this film comes out of Sreenu Vaitla's armour after two biggest disasters all time like Aagadu and Bruce Lee. This makes one wonder if Sreenu Vaitla is going back to his roots.
In the early days of his career, Sreenu Vaitla directed several popular romantic entertainers such as Nee Kosam, Anandam, Dhee and Ready and each of these films were huge hits. He then changed gears and directed big budget mass entertainers such as Dookudu, Baadshah and Bruce Lee etc but tasted flops and looks like this has changed Sreenu Vaitla's mind to go back to his roots of directing love stories.

Glamorous and yet senior most talented actress Tabu shows utmost care and proper attention in selecting the roles and signing movie deals. She was never seen hurrying up doing films below her distinction. Currently, the discussion is all about Tabu being picked up for central role in Hindi remake of Telugu hit ‘Kshanam.’
As we all know, ‘Kshanam’ from PVP Cinema made on shoe string budget with tight screenplay and strong suspense, thrill elements stirred the Box Office. In fact, Bollywood was surprised watching the film and approached Prasad V Potluri bagging the Hindi remake rights. Producer, director Sajid Nadiadwala finally ran away with remake rights and he is now setting the combinations right.
According to an update, Anasuya Bharadwaj’s cop character in ‘Kshanam’ is likely to be reprised by Tabu. As this role becomes crucial towards pre climax and climax, Tabu has accepted it and she is preparing herself watching at Jabardast TV anchor’s cop body language or mannerisms for further improvisation. Salman Khan might do the Adivi Sesh. Let’s wait for more updates.
Till date, Mega camp young hero Varun Tej hasn’t got a solid hit to enjoy real breakthrough for career. Under Mega brand umbrella, the tall and handsome hero is moving forward picking best alternatives available before him. One such film launched couple of days back is ‘Mister’ in Srinu Vytla direction with Lavanya Tripathi, Hebbah Patel as heroines.
Apparently, Vytla is in a do-or-die situation to regain lost charm with back to back disasters like ‘Aagadu, Bruce Lee’ shook his image. Teamed with writers Gopi Mohan and Sreedhar Seepana, we heard that Vytla prepared a beautiful love story with strong action elements and emotions. In the film, Varun is playing University Topper who falls in love with heroine Lavanya and the story moves from here on.
First schedule is planned in Spain and second schedule in Brazil. Rest of the crucial episodes will be shot on Karnataka border. Mickey J Meyer composed music and Nallamalapu Bujji, Tagore Madhu are producers.
Azamgarh: A 28-year-old bravery award winner alleged that she was gangraped by husband and three others on Friday in Kaptanganj village here, police said.

The woman was living with her parents for the past two-three years. On Friday her husband called her for a meeting in an orchard where she was allegedly raped by him and three others.

Kalyan Ram-Puri Jagannadh film launched
A day after announcing the title and releasing the logo of his next with Mahesh Babu, Puri Jagannadh formally launched his next with Kalyan Ram, a film to be produced by the hero himself on NTR Arts. The launch ceremony was graced by Nandamuri Hari Krishna, Nandamuri Rama Krishna, Jr. NTR and the Janata Garage director Koratala Shiva.
Moments after the film’s launch, Kalyan Ram took to Twitter to thank his father, babai, cousin and Koratala Shiva for being there for the occasion.
Yet another time, a Puri Jagannadh hero is acting in the role of a journalist (after Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu). Kalyan Ram will be seen in the role of a powerful journo here. Regular shooting will kick-start in May. The film is slated for a Dasara release.
For Kalyan Ram, this film might just turn out to be a hit like Pataas, thereby cushioning his career in a big way. On the other hand, Puri needs to deliver a row of hits.

Chiranjeevi’s 150th film was launched in a simple ceremony on Friday in the presence his family members.
The film will be produced by his son Ram Charan and his mother Surekha. The V.V. Vinayak-directed film is a remake of the Tamil hit Katthi.
Chiranjeevi’s brother-in-law and producer Allu Aravind was the chief guest along with his brother Nagababu. Actors from the family, including Ram Charan, Allu Arjun, Varun Tej, Sai Dharam Tej and Allu Sirish, and the recently married Srija and her husband Kalyan, were also present.

Grand launch of RGV RAI’s first look

This Rs. 55 cr will be extensively shot in Mangalore, Banglore, Mumbai, Dubai and London.

Muthappa Rai’s journey is laced with adventure and gore. He was shot in a court premises by a person clad in a lawyer’s dress way back in 1994. He survived five bullets into his body and after two years of being bed-ridden, he reportedly developed contacts with Dawood Ibrahim and lived in exile. He is currently based in Bengaluru post his extradition in 2002 and is known as a businessman.

MOVIE:Raja Cheyyi Veste
Cast: Nara Rohit, Nandamuri Taraka Ratna,Isha Talwar and Others
Directed by: Pradeep Chilukuri
Produced by: Rajani Korrapati
Banner: Varahi Chalanachitram
Music by: Sai Karthik
Release Date: 2016-04-29
Raja Cheyyi Veste Movie Review
Nara Rohit's last film Savitri was released exactly four weeks ago and he is back again. This time he is accompanied by Nandamuri Taraka Ratna, who played a dreaded villain for a change. Raja Cheyyi Veste made some buzz across film circles with interestingly cut trailers. Will this film quench the thirst of Nara Rohit and give him that much needed hit?
What is it about?
Rajaram (Rohit) is a wannabe film director. He gets a message from a top director who asks Rajaram to write a love story for him. Rajaram writes his own love story and sends it to the director, but he says that he has scrapped that project and doing an action entertainer. He asks for a particular scene where the hero kills the villain and Rajaram sends the scene to the director. In return Rajaram gets a courier from the director asking him to execute the same plan and kill Manick (Taraka Ratna). The unknown caller keeps on harassing Rajaram to kill Manick and also attacks his girlfriend Chaitra (Isha Talwar).
Performances:
Nara Rohit is in his elements. He needs to shed down few extra kilos to look better particularly in romantic scenes. He is at home in the emotional scenes. Taraka Ratna's makeup is out of place. Care should have taken on his styling and looks. He is anything but menacing in that villain character. Isha Talwar is beautiful and adds glamour to the proceedings. There are many actors in the supporting characters. Sivaji Raja, Sashank and Srinivas Avasarala made their presence felt.
Technicalities:
Pradeep Chilukuri tried to tell a beaten to death revenge story in a new style. He succeeded up to some extent, but couldn't hold the film together. There are many plot holes that makes this 'intelligent play' look lame and silly. Director succeeded in making a technically slick film within the budget constraints.
A couple of songs are passable. Title song is well shot. Dialogues are good in parts. Editing could have been tighter. Films like these should run at a breakneck pace. Cinematography is good. Stylized cinematography is the major asset to this film. Varahi banner's production values are commendable.
Thumbs Up:
Interval point
Few twists
Dialogues
Thumbs Down:
Beaten to death plot
Lethargic screenplay
Second half lacks steam
Dull Climax
Analysis:
Raja Cheyyi Veste has a very intriguing twist towards the intermission point that sets the right mood for the second half. Even the second half starts on an interesting note with some thrilling scenes right after the interval point. However director loses grip over the narration after a while and the film starts to move at snail's pace.
The flashback episode is the key for this film to keep the audiences interested about the rest of the story. However that episode lacked emotional depth and the predictable ending makes it a boring fare. Director's attempt at intelligent play didn't translate on to the screen because of poor execution.
One would expect a spell binding climax given the buildup to hero's intelligence. What Raja Cheyyi Vesthe offers is a lackluster ending with laughable emotions. This film could have been better if the conflict between the hero and villain is established well. Cat and mouse game should have been the plot device to run this sort of movie. Raja Cheyyi Vesthe ends up as a half baked film with many interesting ideas gone wasted.
Verdict: Raja Disappoints.

Tollywood already has a few stars like Pawan Kalyan and Prakash Raj who are actively into farming. Looks like the hot and happening anchor turned actress Anasuya will follow suit. While Pawan and Prakash Raj always wanted to do agriculture, Anasuya's decision to try out farming is a result of her sudden awakening of social consciousness.
This morning, Anasuya tweeted a series of tweets filled with 'gyaan' on social responsibility in these times of global warming and severe water crisis. Anasuya said that she suddenly woke up with a thought of getting into farming after she retires from entertainment field.
Explaining the reason behind her decision, Anasuya rather raised some serious concerns about creating a healthy environment for future generations. She went on to state that she regrets giving birth to her children when she can't even offer them a better place to live. The hot beauty further vowed to go green whenever and wherever possible and requested everyone to do their bit. -

Of late, there have been several incidents of Indian students watching films stealthily in theatres without bothering to purchase tickets. Though these students are let off with mere warnings, such incidents are coming to light more often.
In a latest incident, three Telugu students from a local university in Kansas were caught red-handed while watching Allu Arjun-starrer Sarrainodu in a theatre at BB 16, Overland Park.
The management found that these students were watching the movie without purchasing the tickets. However, they were let off after the local exhibitor took initiative and warned them against repeating such offences.
President of Telugu Association of Greater Kansas City (TAGKC) warned that such offences would harm the precious career of students. It is unfortunate that such incidents have been taking place repeatedly despite warnings, he said.
Namma Metro trains will be restricted to run at a speed of 38-40 km per hour in the underground section to maintain safety standards of the train and the safety of passengers as well.
The trains are not running beyond 38-40 km per hour even on the elevated sections to maintain safety standards. The safe speed has taken into account international speeds of metro trains in a wide variety of cities, including New York and Beijing.
The major reason why the speeds have been limited is that the trains require space and time to accelerate and decelerate. Metro officials explained that acceleration and deceleration require more than 400 metres each to pick up speed or to come to a halt. This amounts to almost half a kilometre.
“By the time the train attains a fairly good speed, it would have already reached the halfway point to another station. And then the train will be left with just 600 metres before it reaches the station ahead, when it has to begin to slow down. The same is the case with deceleration. The train would have to slow down gradually from a distance of 400 metres leaving it very little space to run speedily right up to the station,” a senior Metro official said.
Moreover, the distance between each station is just 1 km. If the distance had been one and a half km or 2 km, then the maximum speed of 80 km an hour could have been maintained. With 1,000 metres being the distance between two stations now, there is very little time left to speed up or slow down rapidly. So, it has been decided to keep to 38-40 km per hour. At this speed, the trains run into the station fairly comfortably.
"
Other metros too would be running at an average of 40 km per hour, according to officials. “Like Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kochi metros, too, would run on an average of 40 km per hour.
The structures they have built and the areas in which they go make that a comfortable speed. More or less, all the metros in the country are built on a similar basis though there may be differences in terms of topography, which also influences the speed you can maintain between the metro stations,” the officials said.
The topography of Bengaluru is rocky and uneven with the underground areas going up and down. The unevenness has been a major reason why the underground section has been taking time.
Finally, the distance between Mantri Square and Majestic inter-change has been covered by the underground machine Godavari, making possible the inauguration of the underground section on April 29.
The trains are not running beyond 38-40 km per hour even on the elevated sections to maintain safety standards. The safe speed has taken into account international speeds of metro trains in a wide variety of cities, including New York and Beijing.
The major reason why the speeds have been limited is that the trains require space and time to accelerate and decelerate. Metro officials explained that acceleration and deceleration require more than 400 metres each to pick up speed or to come to a halt. This amounts to almost half a kilometre.
“By the time the train attains a fairly good speed, it would have already reached the halfway point to another station. And then the train will be left with just 600 metres before it reaches the station ahead, when it has to begin to slow down. The same is the case with deceleration. The train would have to slow down gradually from a distance of 400 metres leaving it very little space to run speedily right up to the station,” a senior Metro official said.
Moreover, the distance between each station is just 1 km. If the distance had been one and a half km or 2 km, then the maximum speed of 80 km an hour could have been maintained. With 1,000 metres being the distance between two stations now, there is very little time left to speed up or slow down rapidly. So, it has been decided to keep to 38-40 km per hour. At this speed, the trains run into the station fairly comfortably.
"
Other metros too would be running at an average of 40 km per hour, according to officials. “Like Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kochi metros, too, would run on an average of 40 km per hour.
The structures they have built and the areas in which they go make that a comfortable speed. More or less, all the metros in the country are built on a similar basis though there may be differences in terms of topography, which also influences the speed you can maintain between the metro stations,” the officials said.

The Army today regretted in the Patna High Court conducting a recruitment examination at Muzaffarpur for candidates in their underwears to prevent cheating and promised to take all precaution so that such an incident does not recur.
An affidavit was submitted by Director, Army Recruitment Board, Muzaffarpur, V S Godhara and a division bench of acting Chief Justice Iqbal Ahmed Ansari and Justice Samrendra Pratap disposed off the PIL after it.
Central government counsel S B Sanjay submitted the affidavit on behalf of Godhara expressing regret over the incident.
"Regret such incident. What happened should not have happened. Assured that respondent will take all precaution so that no such occurance happens in future," the affidavit submitted in the HC read.
On February 28, some 1,100 candidates were made to take off their clothes first and then sit only in underwear in an open field at Muzaffarpur for examination for the post of army clerks in a bid to prevent copying.
The incident had invited angry reaction.
Reacting to the images splashed across the media, the Defence Ministry had asked Army Chief General Dalbir Singh Suhaag to explain.
Colonel V S Godhara of Army Regional Office had at that time defended the action citing previous instances of candidates hiding slips of paper and mobile phones in their undergarments.
The Patna High Court too had taken notice of these pictures and filed a suo motu public interest litigation.

Power Star Pawan Kalyan's Sardaar Gabbar Singh may have ended up as an epic disaster. But this has not deterred the actor and his close buddy and producer Sharrat Marar from launching their next film immediately. The film's muhurtham was held this morning at Sharrat Marar's office.
Interestingly, several distributors who incurred huge losses after Sardaar flopped attended the muhurtham and expressed their woes to Pawan and Sharrat Marar. Apparently, Sharrat has promised them the theatrical rights of Pawan-SJ Surya film at a huge discount up to 25%.
Needless to say, the distributors were happy with Sharrat's prompt gesture and they returned with high hopes of recovering their losses with Pawan's latest film. This film is a romantic love story with faction backdrop and we will have to wait and see if the Pawan-SJ Surya combo will repeat their Kushi success. -

The Freedom 251 flash sale took the entire nation by storm in late February with its Rs.251 price for a high-end smartphone built with all the advanced features. But the Ringing Bells company failed to live up to the hype and succumbed to the intense glare and what followed was a catastrophe.
Now, according to the ongoing reports being published in national media, a Jaipur-based smartphone maker called Docoss is promising a similar Android smartphone named Docoss X1 for Rs.888, beating the country's most affordable and reliable smartphone Micromax Bolt S301 priced at Rs.2,150.
The Docoss X1 smartphone bookings are open already on the company’s official website www.docoss.com and the sale closes by April 29. The company claims that the mobile phones will be shipped to the customers starting from May 2nd.
The Docoss X1 is a 3G smartphone and it has a 4-inch IPS display and boasts a screen resolution of 800x480 pixels. At 102 gms and 9.3mm thickness, the X1 is lighter than the Freedom 251 which weighed 116g. The X1 runs Android 4.4.4 (KitKat).
Following the Freedom 251 fiasco, market analysts are cautioning the buyers before booking the Docoss X1 smartphone. -

Twists and turns are not giving a chance to anyone on getting to an opinion on TV actress Pratyusha Banerjee suicide case. In yet another shock, the latest audio clip of phone conversation between Pratyusha and her boyfriend Rahul Raj an hour before her suicide brings unheard things that led to her suicide.
Justice Mridula Bhatkar heard the three and a half minute audio clip of their conversation, while hearing the pleas of accused Rahul Raj for an anticipatory bail.
According to the phone conversation:
Pratyusha Banerjee: Mujhe characterless kaha jaa raha hai. Mujhe marne ki dhamki di jaa rahi hai. Mere maa baap ko marne ki dhamki di jaa rahi hai. Bacha kya hai meri zindagi mein. (I have been called characterless. I'm getting death threats and my parents are getting them too. What's left in my life now?)
Rahul Raj: Yeh sab choti baatein hain. (All these are not a big deal)
Pratyusha Banerjee: Aap isko choti si baat kaise bol sakte ho. Mr. Rahul please keep your ego aside. (How can you say it's no big deal? Mr. Rahul, please keep your ego aside.)
Rahul hung the call while Pratyusha was still speaking.
Pratyusha Banjerjee: You cheater, tumne mujhe cheat kiya hai, mujhe mere maa baap se alag kar diya, ab dekho main kya karne ja rahi hoon (You cheater, you cheated on me, you separated me from my parents, now see what I do)
Rahul: What happened? I will talk to you once I reach home, I am on the way; till I reach, don't do anything.
Court granted bail to Rahul, unable to find any evidence in phone conversation that intended the suicide.

The most talented director of present era in Telugu films is undoubtedly Trivikram. The star director stays and keeps simple with his public appearances, though his movies make businesses with superstars and that too with numbers more than night digits.
Here is a rare picture of Trivikram Srinivas with his wife Soujanya. The star director often appears along with his best friend Pawan Kalyan at public events, but not many notice him with his wife as he comes out with her rarely at film events. That is one rare picture! -

Apple has reported its first-ever drop in iPhone sales since launching the smartphone in 2007 as the tech giant's long streak of rising revenue ended.
Apple yesterday said iPhone sales dropped year-over-year for the first time, slipping to 51.19 million in the recently ended quarter compared with 61.17 million in the same period a year ago.
Profits fell as well: Apple reported net income of USD 10.5 billion in the fiscal quarter to March 26 from USD 13.6 billion last year.
With iPhones the main driver of sales for the company, revenue fell on a year-to-year basis for the first time since 2003: USD 50.6 billion from USD 58 billion a year earlier.
Apple shares dove more than eight percent to USD 95.72 in after-market trades that followed release of the earnings figures.
Sales of iPhones, the heart of Apple's mobile age money-making machine, were down 16 percent, according to the earnings report.
While Apple is the world's largest company by profit and market value, it has been shifting its focus in anticipation of the slowdown.
"Our team executed extremely well in the face of strong macroeconomic headwinds," said Apple chief executive Tim Cook.
"We are very happy with the continued strong growth in revenue from services, thanks to the incredible strength of the Apple ecosystem and our growing base of over one billion active devices."
Analysts said it was not surprising to see the drop given the saturation of the global smartphone market.
"Following a rapid expansion into new markets over the years from 2007-2011, Apple was approaching saturation of the available distribution channels, and many of those already in the smartphone market who could afford to buy an iPhone had one or one of its high-end Android competitors," said Jan Dawson at Jackdaw Research.
Dawson said Apple managed to boost sales in a slow-growing market with its large-screen models, but that it is unclear if it can regain momentum.
Apple also announced that its board has authorised USD 35 billion more to be spent on buying back shares, along with money for the dividend to be increased to 57 cents per share.
Apple has been making inroads into wearable technology with its Apple Watch and moving into services such as music subscriptions, but remains largely dependent on the iPhone for profit and revenue.
