The High Court has rejected the lunch-motion filed by Jagan’s lawyer seeking time for appearance before the CBI which has summoned him to be present on May 25, three days ahead of his appearance before the CBI court.
The High Court has directed CBI to act as per section 41 A of the Cr. PC. Section 41 A provides for the investigating agency to summon any one for questioning to attain valuable information. It also gives power to the agency to take the person into custody, in case of necessity.
Jagan’s lawyer has argued in the High Court that CBI has summoned Jagan on May 25 only to arrest him. The lawyer has also explained how Jagan was seriously engaged in his party’s election activity being the chief campaigner of the party. He has urged the court to exempt Jagan from personal appearance till June 15.
The CBI in its summons has stated that Jagan was being summoned for interrogation in connection with the Vanpic deal of industrialist Nimmagadda Prasad. Jagan’s lawyer has questioned why the CBI has called Jagan after taking Prasad into custody though he was not called when Prasad was questioned for 13 times earlier.
Entire state on high alert
Meanwhile, the entire state has been put alert, giving a clear indication that Jagan might be arrested. According to information, SPs of all districts have been asked to be alert and keep an eye on the activities of the YSR Congress. Likewise, they were also reportedly asked to check any movement of party workers to Hyderabad and also be vigilant against possible agitations.
In Hyderabad prohibitory orders were imposed under Section 144. City police Commissioner Anurag Sarma has said that the police had intelligence inputs that some political parties were making arrangements to mobilize people on a large scale. He said the prohibitory orders would be in force until May 29 (Jagan is summoned to appear before the CBI court on May 28). The Commissioner said that heavy mobilization of people would effect on law and order and hence the prohibitory orders.
At the Cannes premiere of Madagascar 3, the actor went a step further with her red carpet style - she wore a nude plunging backless dress that was held together by a thin blingy belt at the waist. As for her makeup and hair, she went 70s, choosing winged eyeliner and a bouffant a la Saira Banu.
While the look was simple, Mallika's outfit was definitely a better and more daring choice than some of dresses she wore the previous two years at Cannes. But whether her regular red carpet appearances here will fetch her more roles in Hollywood is the big question.
So those who thought that Mallika had gone understated this year at Cannes now stand corrected. The lady always makes sure that at least her outfits, if not her roles, make an oomphy statement!
In the name of quality and perfection, many directors waste loads of reels. Slowly, Meher Ramesh is also joining this club for his uncontrollable desperation.\
Already, Meher got a black mark in the industry for his continuous flop flicks. It is a wonder to see how he gets big budgeted assignments irrespective of his bombed works. However, this star director has not learned from his mistakes and is now shooting loads of reels under desperation, wasting more time. Insiders revealed that he is extending the foreign shoots of 'Shadow' for longer time than scheduled.
This is affecting the producers of the film with budgets being over shot. 'Shadow' is the upcoming movie of family hero Venkatesh, who is playing the role of a don in this movie. Critics are saying that the result of this flick will make a big impact on the future of both Venkatesh and Meher Ramesh.
None of her films have given her a peaceful sleep and satisfaction till date. Thanks to 'Gabbar Singh', the one that made her walk in the air with its stupendous success. After Gabbar Singh, she scored another hit in a row.
Shruti Hassan is on cloud nine for scoring a hit with 'Gabbar Singh'. Her happiness got double when another hit has fallen into her kitty. Shruti's latest Tamil movie 'Sridhar' is also doing well at Kollywood BO, says a trade pundit. This movie is the dubbed version of Siddharth and Shruti's 'Oh My Friend' that bombed in Andhra Pradesh for its pale narration. However, the makers have changed few portions of it to suit Tamil audiences before making it sound loud in theatres.
Initially there is a critical response for this movie due to poor ratings, but it slowly picked up as youths started flowing in heavily. Among all other co-stars of the movie, only Shruti Hassan got applause in Tamil circuits. This can be called as transformation of 'iron leg' into 'golden leg'!
Actor-turned-politician Chiranjeevi have been taking the credit for every good thing that happened before and after the merger of PRP with Congress.
First in the list is saving the Congress government from collapsing twice (once during Rosaiah's tenure as CM and the other during Kiran's regime). Playing a key role in reducing the hiked power charges, cutting down the VAT on textiles, the idea of promotional campaign of party with booklets having the list of Congress schemes & programmes and also complained to Sonia Gandhi about the diversion of of SC and ST sub-plan funds to other schemes are the few things listed by him as his contribution to Congress till now.
Although there were reports of PRP vote hadn't been transferred completely to the Congress even after the merger, Chiru is confident that his fans would remain with him forever. The people of AP are known to be very intelligent, especially when it comes to voting. Will Chiru's good work comes in handy for Congress in 2014 general elections. Let's wait and watch!
Sexy heroines are always hurried to erase the line between glamour and skin show to woo mass fans. The most demanded item from them is a 'navel show' and then a 'thigh peek'.
One new actress is now getting lot of offers but with the condition that she should be ready to show her navel. She is Nandita, who shot to fame with Teja's recent movie 'Neeku Naaku Dash Dash'. While mesmerizing eyes and attractive smile are the primary assets of this ravishing beauty, our makers are expecting something sizzling this time. In Teja's film she has not given peeks of her skin though she looked glamorous sometimes.
Right now, she is not accepting any offer that demands her for a skin show, revealed a close friend of this hot beauty. Critics say that if Nandita wants to break into top heroines' zone, she has to take skin route now itself, as a red-hot show sometime later will not help attracting anyone. It is for Nandita to decide!
"We have finalised our case. The US visa fee hike is a discriminatory move against Indian IT firms. This week, we will formally file the complaint and seek consultations under WTO," a senior Commerce and Industry Ministry official said.
As per the procedure of World Trade Organisation (WTO), consultation is the first stage of a complaint filed with the global trade body.
The US had raised visa fee in 2010 to fund its enhanced costs on securing border with Mexico under the Border Security Act. Since then, India has been protesting against the measure.
Consultations give parties to the dispute an opportunity to discuss and resolve the issue without proceeding further with litigation. After 60 days, if consultations fail, the complainant may request adjudication by the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB).
The law – Emergency Border Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2010 – has substantially increased the fees for H1B and L1 categories of visas for applicants which employ more than 50 persons in the US or have more than 50 per cent their employees admitted on non-immigrant visas (the
50:50 rule).
"... This is prima facie discriminatory for Indian companies," an official said.
The H1B visa fee has been increased significantly to USD 2,000 and L1 to USD 2,700.
Some of the top Indian companies TCS, Infosys, Wipro and Mahindra Satyam were affected by the US action on visa fee. The US is the largest market for the Indian software exports.
However, the large American high-tech corporations which may bring higher numbers of skilled immigrants into the US would not be affected, since vast majority of their workforce is of Americans.

Indo Canadian porn star Sunny Leone is all set to set theaters on fire with flaunting her sensuous erotic 'Jism' in Mahesh Bhat's 'Jism-2'. She says she never thought that her stint in Big Boss reality show will land her in bollywood offers. She said though she shares good relation with Bhats it was a surprise for her. Jism-2 stars Randeep Hooda and is directed by Pooja Bhat.Sunny says the film is presently shooting in Srilanka and taunts her fans saying they should get prepared in advance to see her in new look as the film is meant only for adults.
She says intimate scenes have come beautifully and the film is making her have wild dreams. Sunny said being a porn and sexy star made her task easy as her body is fully prepared for the shots. She says she is even starring in a condom ad as she wants to send a message to youth about safe sex. She says she will promote brands so that she can send message to society.
Meanwhile, Mahesh Bhatt says Sunny too felt shy acting in bold bedroom soon even after previously acting in porn films. Quite a revelation!!!
It is reported that our T �" Town film makers are planning to re make this film in Telugu… they could not find any other actress apart from Nayanatara to depict such a bold role… when the film makers approached this actress to play the lead, it seems Nayan clearly refused saying she is not interested in playing this role, at this point of her career…
When we start analyzing what could be the reason for this… it could be Nayan’s Goddess Seeta ka image in Bapus’ directorial ‘Sree Rama Raajyam’… or the glamour heroine image of her that made her back Gopi Chand, Nagarjuna and RaNa’s fourth coming films or could be this actress is not willing to take any chances with her image as of now, by playing any bold roles…
What ever reason could be, this made those film makers to leave expectations on Nayan playing a key role in ‘Dirty Picture’ remake and search for another heroine…
On the other hand Prabhas did not had a release after his 'Mr. Perfect' that happened a year ago... his fourth coming film, that started shooting some 8 to 9 months back ‘Rebel’, has no update for us… this film is directed by Raghava Lawrence, dance master turned Director… there was a mess initially, when it comes to the leading lady of this film… Anushka was being finalized to play main lead opposite Prabhas in this film… for the reasons not known Anushka is out of the film, being replaced by Tamanna.. deeksha Seth is playing a second fiddle in ‘Rebel’… even ‘Rebel’ promises to be a out and out action flick, from Prabhas...
Vijayawada MP Lagadapati Rajagopal has taken on YSR Congress party president and Kadapa MP Jaganmohan Reddy yet another time. Comparing Jagan’s irregularities to the convict Bangaru Lakshman, Lagadapati questioned as to how many decades of punishment should Jagan face when Bangaru Lakshman got four year term for accepting one lakh rupees.
Rajagopal has said that Jaganmohan Reddy would be arrested soon and appealed to the public not to melt in case the family members of Jagan move in public and cry over Jagan’s arrest.
Lagadapati, who was touring West Godavari district, as a part of his election campaign spoke to the media last night. He has said that those who followed the foot steps of Jagan and invested in his companies were behind the bars and Jagan was happily campaigning for by-polls.
Will Jaganmohan Reddy be arrested really as said by Lagadapati? In case he gets arrested before by-polls, will that act not gain the sympathy of followers of late Y S Rajashekara Reddy and his son Jaganmohan Reddy? The coin that would presumably decide political game in the state apparently went for a toss, one has to wait and watch what would be the outcome.
Definitely, Bindu Madhavi, though has not much of a work in T - Town, the actress is now concentrating on her acting career in K - Town and reported to have signed couple of projects as well… in this regard, Bindu in her recent interview with a daily has reported that, she aims to act opposite K - Town’s sensation Ajith and if required she is even ready to play a role opposite this star without even taking a single enpy… this makes Bindu Madhavi be in news after much of a time…
The Actress made her debut with 'Aavakaaya Biryaani' and has done couple of films like ‘Bumper Offer’, ‘Rama Rama Krishna Krishna’ and ‘Pilla Jamindaar’… none of the film managed to make her sustain in T - Town…
Now, Bindu has put up all her efforts in K - Town alone...
Lagadapati has said that if there’s something like ballot against corruption, except in Kadapa district, people in all parts of the state would vote that Jagan should go to jail. He has also exuded confidence that Congress would make a clean sweep in all 18 assembly constituencies and one Lok Sabha constituency.
YSR Congress party is yet to defend the statements of Lagadapati Rajagopal. It looks like YSR Congress is really in a dilemma as by-polls are approaching on one hand and CBI's enquiry is also going on in full swing. Will the hopes of all followers of Jagan get dashed in by-polls? May be yes, say sources!
Andhra Pradesh is one place where stars and even item bombs are treated like celebrities and all have a lot of fan following. But all this stargiri and celebrity status doesn't stand a value when they go to other places. And this is turning as a blessing in disguise for one lady.
She is none other than the item queen Mumaith Khan. Recently, Mumaith was sharing her thoughts when she reportedly mentioned that life is very peaceful for her in Mumbai after shifting there. Well, Mumaith reportedly stated that when in Hyderabad it was very difficult for her to go out as she used to get mobbed and gossips were written a lot.
But currently in Mumbai, no one cares about her so wherever she goes or whoever she goes with doesn't really matter. It is heard that Mumaith is enjoying this newfound freedom and making the most of it. Now, many are trying to understand what she means by 'roaming' and 'doing' anything.

Directed by: Ram Gopal Varma Produced by: Siddhant Oberoi, Amit Sharma Written by: Nilesh Girkar Starring: Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Rana Daggubati, Madhu Shalini, Lakshmi Manchu, Nathalia Kaur Rating: * The last decent movie that Ram Gopal Varma made was Rakht Charitra (part 1) in 2010. Rann was decent as well. He went horribly wrong with the sequel to that film and of course, Not a Love Story. Department seemed promising because of its impressive cast and RGV has a grip over the crime/gangster genre. Sadly, Department is a monstrous disappointment. RGV is obsessed with crotches and the female anatomy as is amply evident in the gross item song featuring hottie Nathalia Pinheiro Kaur. He is also fascinated by weird cinematographic angles and dark tones which make watching Department rather difficult. The viewer has a migraine and distorted vision by the end of this movie! The story is nothing new and nothing much. We have seen special cops operating against the mafia in secret/higher operations in too many movies. Some examples are Kahaani, Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai, Ab Tak Chhappan, Jannat 2, and international films like The Departed. So this movie is about the department of cops played by Sanjay Dutt and Rana Daggubati who want to wipe out the crime scene in Mumbai. Vijay Raaz plays the prime gangster and Amitabh Bachchan plays a gangster-turned-politician. There is ample sleaze in the movie which also adds to the painful experience. The action and violence is too much to tolerate. The music is bad and the dialogues make you cringe. There is a lot of nonsense and no sense of reality in the movie. You really wonder how RGV can outdo himself in making unwatchable movies! Sanjay Dutt looks haggard and has his usual “I give a damn” swagger. So he does nothing new. Rana Daggubati looks good but that is about it. The characters do not have soul. You don’t care for them. Vijay Raaz is erroneously cast as the gangster and Abhimanyu Singh and Madhu Shalini as his allies are plain terrible. Abhimanyu Singh needs to do something new. Anjana Sukhani is, surprisingly, a breath of fresh air in a suffocating film. Lakshmi Manchu is a delight to watch. Amitabh Bachchan sportingly plays his character but one does wonder what made him sign this movie. He makes the movie a tad tolerable in a few scenes. At two-and-a-half hours, this is unbearably long and you feel like walking out several times during the movie. By now it is clear that Department doesn’t merit a watch ever! I have run out of words to criticize it further. For Department my review rating is 1 out of 5 stars.
Bollywood superstar and IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) owner Shahrukh Khan could face a life ban from entering the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai after he got into a heated argument with security personnels and Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) officials. Shahrukh, who wasn't present at the stadium during Kolkata-Mumbai match, came to the venue after the post-match presentation ceremony with around 40 kids. When the security objected, he lost his cool and started abusing the BCCI, MCA and Stadium staff. "F**k you BCCI, MCA and the Security," shouted angry SRK. MCA officials had already filed a complaint
you BCCI, MCA and the Security," shouted angry SRK. MCA officials had already filed a complaint against Shahrukh at the Marine Drive police station. They are also planning to lodge an official complaint to the BCCI seeking the life ban of Star from entering the Stadium. In the past, SRK was in bad books for allegedly smoking in public places. Now, the latest controversy will do no good for him. Handling the fame is not that easy.
Some sexy starlets are finding no place absurd to shed their hot clothes. One of our sizzling sirens is recently heard doing that in a Photo Studio. This slender beauty is habituated to photo-shoots for every silly occasion that happens in her life. Though she is unsuccessful as an actress, she is more popular for ribbon cuttings and stage dances. According to grapevine, this sexy siren moves semi-nude during the gaps of those shoots. They say that there is nothing wrong in that as most of the models and heroines behave the same way. Off course, going semi during dress changes and shoots is okay, but doing that while taking lunch and having snacks is something we should hould think of. Industry is abuzz that she lures the photographer and his associates into a trans state with her toned curves to get the job done. We all know how come that photo-shoot will help her bagging projects. So, keep shooting
CBI arrests Matrix Prasad in Jagan assets case HYDERABAD: The moves against Jagan Mohan Reddy were put into high gear Tuesday with leading industrialist Nimmagadda Prasad , popular known as Matrix Prasad, being arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation Tuesday. Indian Railway Service (IRS) officer K V Brahmananda Reddy was also arrested along with Prasad, who had been named as accused no. 12 in the alleged illegal assets case of the Kadapa MP.

On Tuesday too, the CBI sleuths summoned both of them to the Dilkusha guest house and later announced their arrest. Both of them have been arrested on charges of criminal conspiracy, criminal breach of trust, criminal misconduct and various other sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act. Prasad allegedly invested about `500 crore in Jagan Mohan Reddy's companies. Further, many of the promoters in the companies floated by Jagan and Prasad are said to be the same. Prasad is the promoter of M/s Vanpic Projects Private Limited to which more than 15,000 acres of land was allotted in Prakasam district by the then Y S Rajasekhara Reddy government, allegedly in violation of norms. Further, several concessions were extended to Vanpic under the Stamps and Registration Act.
Latest news from the Kollywood is heard that, Mr Prabhu deva gave nasty comments on the loveable star - Nayanatara.It is known news that the much talked about and highly expected love story of the multi-talented Prabhu Deva and the gracious beauty Nayantara has gone to the rocks in a bitter way. Apparently, both are not even seeing eye to eye now. But Prabhu Deva's recent statements shocked one and all.
Buzz is that Nayan is so scared of love and is disgusted that she wants to stay away from all that for the rest of her life. And she has been drowning herself in countless number of projects just so that she doesn't think about the past. But recently Prabhu Deva gave a statement which has reportedly shocked her.
Sharing his thoughts, Prabhu reportedly mentioned that he can fall in love anytime and is ready for it. He maintained that life is unpredictable and anything can happen. The cine folks say it is barely a month or two since the breakup happened and these statements are sure to shock anyone so we can imagine what Nayan must be going through.
It has been now confirmed that the famouse industrialist Nimmagadda Prasad in connection with the Jagan Case has been taken in to CBI Hands. CBI has on Tuesday taken into custody industrialist Nimmagadda Prasad in connection with the disproportionate assets case faced by the YSR Congress chief Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy.

It is being alleged that he got 15,000 acres of land in return for his investments in the Vanpic project from the then government headed by Jagan’s father Dr. Y S Rajasekhara Reddy. CBI has filed cases against Prasad under sections 120 B, 420, 409 and 477A of the Indian Penal Code.

There is a talk in Film Industry from a long time that sexual orientation of some people here is not straight. Not only some make-up men and fashion designers, but some singers also joined this category now. A group of talented top male singers who are quite young in their age are heard chatting with each other in a different tone recently. Most of their expressions and emotions resemble gay in nature. Some say that as they keep on engaging with girls and women for years during their classical music training, hence they turn that way. There are those who say that they behave that way knowingly to avoid getting linked up with female co-singers. But, most of these singers are seen maintain distance with their female fans even. These are days where society doubts a guy if he is not have a girlfriend and these male vocalists are no excuse.
Finally Chiru's son-in-law has opened his mouth regarding his political entry. Regarding what looked like a talk after getting a warning, Sirish Bharadwaj took a complete u-turn. Sirish made it clear that he is not joining any political party and has given an explanation for his meeting with YSR Congress leader. Today, he met YSR party leader Subbareddy and defined it as a regular visit. 'Today is my birthday. It is a practice for me to visit his house every year this day to take his blessings', says Sirish. However, analysts are saying that he changed his mind in the last minute as he is completely excited till date to join a political party for countering Chiru. Political observers are sensing something wrong in the whole episode and a possible warning to Sirish is also expected.
Reports started flowing in the media and especially in Sakshi TV since morning that Chiru's daughter is raided by IT sleuths. Sakshi, however linked Chiru's black money with these raids and started scrolling stories. 'Sushmita's in-laws are raided by IT department but I've nothing to do with them', Chiru clarified, before warning Jagan to not repeat these cheap tricks. Sakshi earlier reported that Chiru is hiding his election fund at Sushmita's house in Chennai which was caught by Income Tax sleuths. They went on reporting that Chiru rushed to Delhi to meet Pranab Mukherjee for coming clean out of the issue. However, Chiru condemned the mudslinging of that channel by explaining how they are ransacking values of journalism with their false stories. 'I'm standing a top only because of my honesty. I warn them not to assassin my character with false stories. I'm preparing my lawyers team to take legal action against that TV', Chiru stressed. 'Sushmita is in my house right now busy with preparations for my son's wedding. A distant relative of her in-law's got raided by IT department and it has nothing to do with us', he adds. Chiru demanded Jagan to come into public and speak about his misdeeds rather targeting honest leaders like him. Jagan's moves are to demoralize me and my character, which will not happen anyway, Chiru said in an angry tone.
India is one country where a lot of importance is given while finalizing the brand ambassador for a product. Because a lot of business happens through them and true to that, here is something which is happening right now in the contraceptive market. This is about the business trend caused by a woman.

Gabbar Singh Movie Review:
Banner: Parameshwara Art productions Producer: Bandla Ganesh Director: Harish Shankar Music: Devisri Prasad Cast: Pawan Kalyan, Shruti Haasan, Kota Srinivasa Rao, Abhimanyu Singh, Ajay, Suhasini, Brahmanandam, Ali, Tanikella Bharani, Malaika Arora Rating: 3.5 Story: Power star Pawan Kalyan ‘Gabbar Singh’ is a remake of Bollywood hit film ‘Dabangg’. Though it is a routine story, Salman image and entertaining elements worked in favour of the movie. Director Harish Shankar chooses the same script and reworked on the screenplay to suit Telugu audience. Director Harish Shankar who is a big fan of Pawan Kalyan made sure that there is no disappointment for Pawan Kalyan fans this time. Let’s see how the movie is fared. Police officer Gabbar Singh ( Pawan Kalyan) looking to bridge the gap with his step brother Ajay and stepdad (Naidu) Nagineedu after the death of his mother ( Suhasini). At the same time Gabbar Singh has to stop the atrocities of local don Siddhappa Naidu (Abhimanyu Singh), an aspiring politician. And there is an overtime job for Gabbar Singh to lure Bhagya Lakshmi (Shruthi Haasan) who refuses to fell in his trap. Can Gabbar Singh successful in his three missions? Performance: Pawan Kalyan Rocks. After Kushi, undoubtedly this is the best movie for Pawan Kalyan. His comedy timing is awesome. Rocked in dances and fights. Pawan Kalyan dances are highlight. In one word, it is a tailor made role for Pawan Kalyan. Shruthi Haasan justified her role and acted well in the limited scope she got. This will be a first hit to her credit. Abhimanyu Singh gave a terrific performance in antagonist role. He matched Pawan Kalayan in confrontation scenes. You get to see more him in coming days. Ajay performed well as step brother. Ali as Samba, Brahmanandam as recovery Ranjith Kumar are hilarious. Nagineedu, Suhasini, Tanikella Bharani, Jaya Prakash Reddy etc justified their roles. Malaika Arora sizzled in item song ‘Kevvu Keka’. Technical: Full credit to director Harish Shankar for choosing an age old script and making it an out and out entertainer. Harish Shankar is in full control of the movie. His screenplay is flawless till the pre climax. Movie lags a bit at the end, but it is expected. Director fully knows the strengths of Pawan Kalyan and his fans expectations. He just worked on them to make it out and out entertainer. Harish Shankar also penned some powerful dialogues much to the delight of Pawan Kalyan fans. Next big thing is Music. Devi Sri Prasad music and background score is an asset to the movie. This time Pawan Kalyan also complemented his tunes with his dances. Cinematography by Jayan Vincent did a commendable job. Ram Laxman composed terrific fights. Editing by Goutham Raj is good. Production values are high. Analysis: First thing first, it is out and out entertaining film with all masala ingredients. Though it is a hackneyed story, director made it enjoyable with screenplay filled comedy scenes and Pawan Kalyan Action and dialogues. First half of the movie is fast paced and there are no dull moments. However, second half is bit slow towards climax before ending on predictable note. Pawan Kalyan Comedy, Dialogues and Dances are major pluses for the movie. All songs are picturised very well. But, ‘Kevvu Keka’ is bit disappointing considering the hype it got. Anthakshari episode in police station, Background songs are enjoyable. On the flipside, routine age old story, weak climax might work against the movie. Finally, it is a neat Commercial Entertainer which can be Enjoyed by Everyone. Go and watch it!!!
