Hyderabad, Nov 4: “Give a politician enough rope, and he may hang his whole party by disclosing its innate contradictions and opportunism”.

By now, the screaming and shouting is over and the dust seems to have settled over the Sagara Haram (Telangana March) and so called signals said to have been received by KCR on Telangana from Congress high-command, thanks to the latest statement of Shinde, Union Home Minster that decision on Telangana has national repercussions indicating that the Congress is not in a hurry to settle the issue. 

The Telangana campaign after the momentum generated by Telangana March and ongoing Padayatras by CBN and Sharmila somehow haven’t reached fever pitch to generate delirious abuse and one can, for the moment, reflect on the sad state of “Andhra Pradesh”.

The saddest part is that Andhra Pradesh on the boil not so long ago has returned to simmer. There is no danger—at least in the government’s eyes—of the wrath of the people spilling over and sweltering all in its way. Appearances can be deceptive, and to our mind this is the case at the moment.

“CBN and YS Jagan, KCR and Kodandaram, Raghavulu and Narayana, Vimalakka and Gaddar, coastal Andhra MPs and Telangana MPs” all are busy playing their own game. Not one of them seems to have a people’s perspective. 

The Congress leadership has convinced itself that the CBN is in such a sorry mess that he can only shoot himself in the foot if he tries to aim the gun at the ruling party. With one squinted eye turned towards enigmatic YSRCP leadership and unpredictable TRS supremo, CBN in fact does appear more than confused.

In politics of Andhra Pradesh, there are no areas of convergence among TDP and YSRCP and TRS and neither miss an opportunity to lash out at the other on the slightest pretext. Yet, surprisingly, there are stark similarities in their approach towards state politics. 

While YSRCP and TRS are providing outside support to the Congress-led state government “to check the growth of CBN as an alternative”, TDP on its part facing charges of colluding with the Congress to halt the emergence of YSRCP and consolidation of TRS. Every one of them is critical of the Congress’ vendetta politics and policy inertia on various issues and is ready to rally the public against it, but none is eager and in an hurry to target the Congress. 

And, while all actors on the political stage have called for the ouster of the Congress government to have an early election for the Assembly, none is keen to oust the government just now.

It came as no surprise; therefore, that KCR has been on a “switch on- switch off” mode on a decision to relaunch the movement. True to the form of personality-oriented political outfits that his TRS has been reduced to, his party leaders authorized him to take a decision at “appropriate time” and KCR has been allowed to plan his next moves in a leisurely way in the confines of his farm house. 

A similar chore is being repeated in the TDP and YSRCP where the final call will have to be made by CBN and YS Jagan respectively depending on their convenience.

Their politics may be in jarring contrast. Yet, their motivations are not much different. YS Jagan has already spoken publicly about his Chief Ministerial ambitions. 

In case of KCR, it is the political grapevine’s worst kept secret. Each of them is involved in back-channel communications with the political establishment ruling in the Raisina Hills. 

The allegation leveled by the TDP that the Congress high-command is dangling the sword of CBI over YS Jagan and keeping KCR under reins by reaching tacit understanding with him on the strategy to be followed pending final decision on Telangana, may be a cry of desperation. But it is not without an element of truth.

There are other similarities in the style of politics these traditional rivals in Andhra Pradesh. While CBN has forged an OBC-led combination of minorities and a sprinkling of other castes, in the case of Jagan the pyramid has Reddys at the top and the rest downward. 

On the other hand, KCR, a shrewd politician endowed with an uncanny sense of timing, is mired in arrogance that he is capable of reigniting the passions of Telangana people whenever he wants. He is least cared of the average Telangana protagonist who felt let down with his theory of signals, and continues to enact his gimmicks with his narrative on his prolonged stay in Delhi and his supposed fruitful discussions with the Congress high-command.

On sidelines of above, there are many a maverick leaders and virtuoso individuals who have began to shift their loyalties particularly from the Congress and the TDP and are jumping either into YSRCP or into TRS in search of their political future.

Matters are further compounded when ‘all these so called "Aya Rams and Gaya Rams" are advised by the respective party Presidents no less, to remain within the strict confinement of Laxman Rekha. The trouble is that mythological precepts from the Ramayana can’t be blindly prescribed for the much darker times of the Mahabharata. Men of straw either in the government or in the Opposition can’t lead their compatriots away from the precipice in these dark times.

 

So much for politics of principles! Three Cheers for politics of opportunism!

Hyderabad, Nov 5: Telangana Nagara Samiti leader Nagam Janardana Reddy has given a shock to the TRS chief KCR by making it clear that he would not join a party that was poised to merge in the Congress.

Talking to the media after BJP leaders including Kishan Reddy and Bandaru Dattatreya met him here on Monday, Nagam said he was confident that BJP-led NDA would create Telangana state. Stating that Congress was the number one enemy of Telangana, Nagam said statehood to the region would not be a reality until that party was finished. He said the Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh would have understood the sentiments of people if he was directly elected by the people.

Though he has also made it clear that he was not joining BJP, his statement about not joining TRS and expressing confidence on BJP was being regarded as a step towards joining the party at a later date. Nagam said he would work closely with all parties committed to Telangana including BJP. He said he would tour the Telangana districts from November 23. BJP has announced its support to this Yatra. BJP state president Kishan Reddy has also said that they had not invited Nagam to join the party. He also said that his party would work with Nagam.

The film 'A Woman In Brammanism' stirred a controversy due to it's objectionable content in the trailers released on Youtube. Brahmana Aikya Vedika stepped into action immediately and given a representation to chief minister Kiran Kumar Reddy in protest against the film's disrespectful content targeting the Brahmin community.

The state government has constituted a committee to review the film and submit a report on November 10. The committee headed by IAS Officer Sahani attended the screening of the film Today and suggested few changes to the producer. "We have asked the producer to remove the word Brahmmanism from the title and also insisted him to chop off few objectionable scenes, for which he readily agreed and also given a written statement. We will submit the report to the government within two days," says the committee member Chandravadhan.

With 'A Woman In Brahmanism' getting clearance, the makers are planning to release it anytime soon. This controversy has given a huge free publicity for the film and the openings are expected to be good.

In a shocking development, an actress has attacked a director with chappals at a press conference on Saturday conveyed to promote the film 'Kotlallappo Kai'. Kannada actress Nayana Krishna and her family suddenly disrupted the press meet by hitting director Rishi with footwear and abusing him with foul language, alleging that he had cheated her of Rs 8 lakh. The director flew from the place immediately with the help of the unit members and later lodged complaint against the actress in the nearby police station. According to the actress, "Director Rishi borrowed Rs 8 lakhs from me by promising that he would return the amount as soon as possible. However, he didn't pay the amount and coming up with cooked up stories every day". According to the director, "A few youngsters including me and the actress have joined hands to produce a film. Few weeks back, she demanded me to return her money or to give away the rights of several areas which is worth over Rs 1 crore. I refused to give the rights and told her she will get her money back after the release of the film".

The top league of heroines is captured by Samantha, Tamannah, Kajal Agarwal and they are also making their moves into Bollywood. This leaves us with the second layer of heroines and two names have been figuring quite prominently in that. They are the duo of Taapsee and Anjali. However, who among the two is better, is the discussion. Taapsee started her career as a second female lead and slowly she is getting into solo lead. Recently, when she was approached for a second heroine role for a Tamil movie, Taapsee reportedly rejected it. Meanwhile, Anjali has got the potential to do solo heroine roles but she is underrating herself and is still finding comfort in doing second female lead. Actually speaking, Anjali is on top of Taapsee because she has the right native sex appeal, the immense acting potential and above all, a pleasing attitude which goes well for the cine circuit.

The youth wing of the Samajwadi Party's Maharashtra unit Saturday protested against filmmaker Ram Gopal Verma, who is shooting a movie based on the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack.

Nearly 200 Samajwadi Youth Party (SYP) activists led by their president Abu Farhan Azmi shouted slogans and waved black flags near Taj Mahal Palace & Tower Hotel which was the main centre of 2008 Mumbai terror attack.

"When we asked the local police how the movie was being shot on actual locales on Mumbai streets in the wee hours today (Saturday), we were informed that no permissions have been given to Verma to shoot anywhere," Azmi told.

Accusing Ram Gopal Verma of going back on his four-year old promise of not making a movie on the terror attacks, Azmi said that now former chief minister Vilasrao Deshmukh is no more, the director has decided to make money out the sorrows of hundreds of victims and martyrs of the terror attacks.

"We have demanded that (Ram Gopal) Verma must not shoot anywhere on actual locales of the terror attacks and mock the Mumbaikars, he can shoot in studios if he is so keen on the movie," Azmi added.

The SYP has also demanded that since he has failed to keep his word to the late Deshmukh about "never making a movie" on the terror attacks, he must make a commitment to donate all the profits of the movie to the victims and survivors of the terror incident.

"We also want that he may make and release his movie only after the sole surviving terrorist, Ajmal Kasab is hanged. Nobody should be allowed to glorify a terrorist or terror acts by immortalising them on film," Azmi said, threatening to intensify the party's agitation.

Incidentally, Ram Gopal Verma had shot to the headlines when he visited the terror-ravaged Taj hotel a couple of days after the attacks. But, at that time, he scotched all speculation and said he would never make a movie on the terror attacks theme.

Hyderabad, Nov 3: The State government constituted a nine-member committee to study objections raised on controversial film “A Woman in Brahmanism” on Saturday. It asked the committee to submit its report by November 10. The secretary of Women and Child Welfare department has been appointed chairman of the committee. The committee would watch the movie and submit a report within a week.

The Brahmana Association and political parties have alleged that the film portrayed Brahmin women in a very poor light. The Brahmin association also threatened to obstruct the film in the entire State if it was released for screening. Following objections from various associations, the State government has decided to stop the film.

 Film producer said that they have made the film based on a novel titled ‘Brahmanikam’ penned by Chalam in 1937. Brahmana Associations came down heavily on the film director and producer for insulting the women in Brahmin community. It may be mentioned here that the director and producer of the film have already said they would delete all the objectionable scenes in the film. After the committee submits its report, the government might give a green signal for release of the film.

When Mahesh Babu is onscreen, it is very hard to focus on anyone else so usually the heroines tend to get sidelined. Of course, they make their presence felt with their own visual feast wherever possible and when Mahesh is not in the frame. But here is one girl who seems to be rubbing shoulders with the prince aptly.
Her name is Kriti Sanon and she happens to be the new find of director Sukumar for his new movie with Mahesh. Kriti is a regular in the TV circuit and is part of many ads and commercials. This is her first stint with cinema. The talk among media circles is Kriti looks good and is acting very well too.
If this is true then Tollywood would have got one more beautiful and talented actress to fill the top league heroine drought. From her end, this sure is a dream start for Kriti because she gets to pair with the number 1 superstar and is getting groomed under the most talented and demanding directors. 

Brahmin associations who got beating from Mohan Babu followers the other day have retorted today with a stone pelting act on Hero Manchu Vishnu. Surprisingly Telangana lawyers have also joined Brahmins to attack Vishnu at HRC office.

Manchu Vishnu went to Human Rights Commission office today to file a case against Brahmin associations saying that they tried to intrude into their house the other day when his mother and sister are alone. However, Brahmin associations also approached HRC to file a counter suit against Vishnu that his followers have seriously injured Brahmins physically. Also they demanded the ban of 'Denikaina Ready' movie, the epicentre of all these issues. However, Telangana lawyers shouted harsh slogans against Vishnu and restricted him in filing a petition with HRC. When Vishnu tried to leave in his car from the spot, Brahmins and Telangana lawyers hurled stones at his convoy. It took a while for Vishnu come out of the tense situation and leave safe.

Telangana Advocates warned that they will make Manchu Vishnu leave Hyderabad if the hero's behaviour is the same.  Vishnu stated to media that he will continue his legal fight against these Brahmin associations and T-lawyers, and accused that someone is intentionally making this issue from the back.

Awkward no longer describes tall women, but sexy certainly does. Long legs, poised posture, sexy curves, and other amazon features make tall a very desirable trait. Yana Gupta perfectly fits the bill as a sexy seductive woman.

The "Babuji" famed girl, struck a seductive pose in what could be called as one of her hottest pic to date. The 33-year-old actress can be seen here lying seductively splashing her assets and silky milky thighs. Yana Gupta surely knows how to grab eye balls!!!

Union minister S Jaipal Reddy, who, unlike his other cabinet colleagues, always maintains a low profile in the central government, has suddenly become a hero at the national level.
His unceremonious shifting from petroleum ministry to science and technology ministry has brought into the focus of national media for the last two days, as everybody attributed it to the pressure tactics of Reliance Industries Limited chairman Mukesh Ambani.
On Wednesday, social activist and India Against Corruption convenor Arvind Kejriwal came out with several evidences as to how Jaipal Reddy tried to stonewall the attempts of Mukesh Ambani to dictate terms to the petroleum ministry to hike the price of natural gas explored from KG basin wells and called for an independent auditing of gas reserves in the wells.
“For refusing to succumb to the pressures of Ambani, Jaipal Reddy had to pay a heavy price,” Kejriwal said and demanded an explanation from Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh on the issues raised by Jaipal Reddy.
Thanks to Kejriwal, Jaipal Reddy is now getting huge coverage in the media and being projected as the most sincere and principled politician. He might have lost the portfolio, but he has become a big hero now!

Hyderabad, Oct 31: Tension prevailed at actor Mohan Babu's house when security staff had attacked members of various Brahmin associations who were protesting against deragatory scenes on the community in Vishnu's latest film 'Denikaina Ready'. Brahmins were indiscriminately beaten up with sticks.

Agitators were further angered when Vishnu,hero of the film has threatened them using the word "Kabad Dar" and showing a threatening finger at them.Several protestors were injured in the attack. They were shifted to the hospital by the police.

Viushnu has said when some protests were made at their house two days ago, they had kept quite and now they again came when only his mother was home."It has become a fashion to critcize films and film people.Do they think we are incompetent? Kabad Dar, if any one comes to our house" he angrily told the media. He has alleged that the protestors attacked their house and damaged glass panes and other fixtures.

Anjali who is making waves with her amazing beauty in Kollywood is all set to create a storm in Tollywood as well. Already film makers of Seetamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu are raving about her performance opposite Venkatesh and Dil Raju already predicted great future for them.

Ajali raised many eye brows when she readily allowed Arya to kiss her honey filled lips in 'Settai' a remake of Delhi Belly, Bollywood hit. Revealing about her lip kiss, Anjai says "My aim is to star in performance oriented films which bring me name and fame. I took the bold step in Settai to fulfill my dreams. If I don't make that sacrifice I can't be a star'.

Hyderabad, Oct 31: There appears to be some kind of understanding between the TRS and the YSR Congress to totally liquidate the ruling Congress and the main opposition TDP, to win most of the Assembly and Parliament between themselves and emerge as strong forces both in the state and at the center.

This was clear during the talks the TRS chief K Chandrasekhara Rao held with TDP dissident leader Harishwar Reddy and others on Tuesday.

KCR has reportedly said that while the YSR Congress of Y S Jaganmohan Reddy was set to drive both the Congress and TDP into wilderness, TRS would do the same in Telangana.

KCR has told Harishwar Reddy and other leaders that his party right now has chances of winning 70 Assembly seats in the 'T' region and if efforts were made, they could even win 100 seats and all the MP seats. If the YSRCP succeeds in sweeping both the Parliament and Assembly elections in the Seemandhra region, then both Congress and TDP would be pushed into oblivion, KCR has reportedly told the gathering of TDP men. He told them that when this happens, whoever could be in power at the center would have to accept the Telangana demand with no option.

Though there was no written agreement as such between the TRS and the YSRCP to make a joint front as of now, the two parties have generally come to an understanding that they should sweep the elections, pushing the ruling and opposition parties into the background.

It is learnt that it was due to this general understanding that the TRS has decided not to obstruct the ongoing ‘Maro Praja Prasthanam’ pada yatra of Sharmila. That the YSR Congress honorary president Vijayamma could address a massive public meeting at Bhongir in Nalgonda district without trouble on the occasion of former TRS youth leader Jitta Bala Krishna Reddy joining the party, was evidence enough that the TRS would not create hurdles to Sharmila’s yatra, say observers.

As the YSRCP is also making inroads into Telangana, KCR is believed to have come to the conclusion that it would be better to come to some kind of understanding with that party than fight it also along with Congress and the TDP. In all likelihood, the TRS and the YSRCP are likely to come to an understanding even on seat adjustments before the 2014 general elections.

As of now, both the TRS and the YSRCP are concentrating on poaching the Congress and TDP MLAs and other senior leaders, while Chandra Babu Naidu was walking the length and breadth of the state, to strengthen his party. TDP MLA Hariswar Reddy has already announced his decision to join the TRS. Some more dissident TDP MLAs including Venugopalachary and even former TDP leader and independent MLA Nagam Janardana Reddy might join the TRS say sources.

While this is the story in Telangana, the YSRCP is unveiling another story of misery for the TDP in Seemandhra. Praveen Kumar Reddy, TDP MLA of Tamballapalli in Chittoor district has met Jagan in the Chanchalguda jail on Tuesday and the TDP has instantly suspended him for the party. Praveen is on his way to join the YSRCP and the TDP also knows about it since quite some time. Amaranath Reddy, another TDP MLA from Palamaneru constituency of Chittoor district is also likely to follow the suit. TDP former MLA from Payakaraopet Changala Venkata Rao has also joined the YSRCP on Tuesday. TDP Gopalapuram MLA Tenneti Vanita has earlier indicated that she would be joining the Jagan bandwagon.

TRS in Telangana and YSRCP in Seemandhra are continuing efforts to get more MLAs of Congress and TDP to their side before the elections.

With both the parties bent on winning all the strong leaders of the TDP (and Congress) to their side, TDP appears to be on its way to the sick bed.

Ileana is a top league heroine and she has made her life due to Tollywood. However, it looks like after the bug of Bollywood has bit her, she has begun to sideline the Telugu industry. At least, this is the allegation being heard from many noted members of the filmnagar area.

A noted producer mentioned that Ileana is ready to give dates for Bollywood film promotions but not for her Telugu films. Sources say many are showing reluctance to work with Ileana for two reasons- Her price tag of Rs 1.5 crores and her indifference towards participating in promotional activities.

Buzz is that Ileana’s ‘bad attitude’ is causing trouble. Sources say Jr NTR has vowed not to work with Ileana again after her behavior during shooting of ‘Shakti’. It is heard that even Mahesh Babu has been hesitant to work with Ileana after ‘Pokiri’ and didn’t encourage her for ‘Businessman’.

Even Allu Arjun was reportedly miffed when Ileana was absent for the promos of ‘Julayi’. Few producers have mentioned that Ileana insists on a Mercedes Benz for transport, first class tickets for overseas travel and wants only expensive food.  But here is the other side of the story.

A source close to Ileana has quashed all this as an attempt to malign her reputation. The source quoted how Ileana was present for the promotion of ‘Devudu Chesina Manushulu’ and justified that she didn’t have time for ‘Julayi’ since she had to wrap up ‘Barfi’.

The source also adds that her pay cheque includes the salary of her personal staff and vouched that Ileana is in the industry for six years and attended all shootings on time. The final touch is, the source has confirmed that soon she will be signing with the same stars about whom gossips are making rounds. Let us see what happens.

Tiruvanantapuram, Oct 30: Union minister Sashi Tharoor has strongly replied to the criticism of the Gujrat Chief Minister Narender Modi on his wife.

Responding to Modi's remarks in a Twitter post, Tharoor said no one could evaluate the good qualities of his wife Sunanda Pushkar. He said as some said her value was more than Rs. 50 crore.

Meanwhile Sunanda slapped a Congress workers and with this, Congress workers are up in arms against her.
It may be mentioned here that Modi has described Sunanda as a girl friend of Rs. 50 crore of Sashi Tharoor. He has questioned, if any one ever saw such a costly girl.

Hyderabad, Oct 30: Breaking his silence, Telangana Rashtra Samithi chief K. Chandrasekhara Rao Tuesday warned of a "war" for a separate state of Telangana. "If the centre delivers Telangana state, there will be celebrations, otherwise there will be war," he told reporters here. The TRS would be holding its two-day conclave at Karimnagar Nov 5-6 to chalk out the future course of action over the demand to carve a Telangana state out of Andhra Pradesh. KCR, as Rao is popularly known, was silent ever since he returned to Hyderabad earlier this month after nearly a month-long stay in New Delhi to hold talks with Congress leadership over the Telangana issue. He reiterated that he met several leaders and that the talks were positive. "Can I say no if they want to give Telangana state," he quipped, when a reporter asked if he would again visit Delhi for talks. He, however, said there was no invitation from the central government for talks. The TRS chief had been avoiding media for nearly a month amid reports of differences with Telangana Joint Action Committee (JAC) leader M. Kodandaram. KCR had come under criticism from some JAC leaders for not attending the Telangana march held in Hyderabad on Sep 30. KCR also gave a call for observing Nov 1, the formation day of Andhra Pradesh, as "betrayal day". It was on this day in 1956 that Telangana was merged with then Andhra state to form Andhra Pradesh.

Washington/New York, Oct 30: Packing a powerful punch, Hurricane Sandy slammed into New Jersey Coast killing at least nine people, plunging more than three million into darkness and crippling transportation across the US East Coast.

Though downgraded to a "post-tropical" superstorm Monday evening by the National Hurricane Centre, Sandy still unleashed powerful winds and torrential rains from North Carolina to Maine and knocked out power to nearly three million customers across 11 states and the national capital.

Subways and bridges were shut down and streets were quiet as gusts howled over a huge region encompassing hundreds of miles, CNN reported.

The storm hit land near Atlantic City about 8 p.m. (6:30 a.m. India time Tuesday) packing 80-mph winds at landfall, down from the 90 mph clocked earlier Monday.

Hurricane-force winds stretched from Cape Cod to the Virginia coast as Sandy swept ashore, with its storm surge setting new high-water records for lower Manhattan and swamping beachfronts on both sides of Long Island Sound.

Mass transit shut down across the densely populated Northeast, landmarks stood empty and schools and government offices were closed. The National Grid, which provides power to millions of customers, said 60 million people could be affected before it's over.

In New York, lower Manhattan's Battery Park recorded a 12.75-foot tide, breaking a record set in 1960 with Hurricane Donna. The city halted service on its bus and train lines, closing schools and ordering about 400,000 people out of their homes in low-lying areas of Manhattan and elsewhere.

As New York's skyscrapers were being battered with higher winds a crane snapped and dangled from the side of a luxury high-rise under construction Far above West 57th Street. Police closed part of the street and evacuated several nearby buildings, including the Parker Meridien hotel.

By Monday afternoon, 23 states were under a warning or advisory for wind related to Sandy. Thousands of flights had been cancelled, and hundreds of roads and highways were expected to flood..

Winter storm warnings were issued through Wednesday morning for southwest Virginia and the East Tennessee mountains, where snow had already started falling, according to NBC News.

More than 30 inches of snow was expected in the higher elevations of West Virginia, and a foot was forecast in the North Carolina mountains.

With the storm expected to linger longer than most, the federal workforce and public employees in the national capital, Maryland and Virginia were told to stay home for a second day on Tuesday.

Local schools in Wasgungton and adjoining states were shut down. Metro and other transit agencies planned to remain out of service Tuesday.

No flights were expected Tuesday in or out of the region's three airports, where scores of travellers were stranded Monday after airlines halted service throughout the Northeast.

Mohan Babu who is on a spree with hurting the sentiments of Brahmin communities, is going to face a bolt it seems. A Court has ordered today to book Criminal Case on our dialogue king regarding 'Denikaina Ready'.

Malkajgiri Court has directed Police to book criminal cases against producer Mohan Babu and director G Nageswar Reddy for provoking and insulting the sentiments of Brahmin community in their recent flick 'Denikaina Ready'. Brahmin Samaakya members who lodged a protest infront of Mohan Babu's house the other day, have approached Court today to file a plea that their sentiments got hurt. Reacting on the issue, Court has directed to book cases on Mohan Babu, G Nageswar Reddy, Manchu Vishnu and Brahmanandam. And brahmins gone a step ahead reacting to his comments by conducting final rites of the actor in Guntur.

Amidst these protests and hungama, Denikaina Ready is getting good collections as people rushing to theatres to find out how and why Brahmins got insulted through this movie.

At the same time, all sections of people are lashing out at Mohan Babu for his 'blackmailing' remarks against Brahmin protesters. Mohan Babu said that they are doing hulchul only for the sake of money, which is really a harsh comment. What if they give a counter saying Mohan Babu is doing these cheap tricks in this film only to amass crores, as he lost all his money through the flop flicks of Vishnu he made earlier?

Noted music director Devi Sri Prasad is scoring music for Mirchi. The earlier proposed name for this movie was Vaaradhi, which was later changed to Mirchi. Recently, the new look of this film was released and fans of Prabhas were said to have overwhelmed looking at Prabhas in Mirchi. Notably, the first part of the movie was shot in Europe. The sources said that this movie is a  complete romantic entertainer. After watching Prabhas in a powerful action packed role in Rebel, his fans are all excited to watch him in a romantic character. If you are wondering as to when this movie would hit theatres, then here the answer—Mirchi hits theatres across the globe for this Sankranti. Koratala Shiva is directing Mirchi

Some characters will do miracles for some heroines, while the same roles will not do anything substantial for others. Right now, a young heroine is testing her luck in the same way by reprising the role of Priyamani in her next. Well, this is happening for a latest flick of young and talented Priya Anand, who wants to prove her mettle in Bollywood at any cost. She is acting in the role of Priyamani in her upcoming Hindi film, Rangrezz, a remake of 'Sambo Shiva Sambo'. The film's teaser got much response in the Hindi circuit, which also marks the acting debut of Jacky Bhagnani (son of producer Vashu Bhagnani) as a hero. For Priya Anand, Priyamani's role may not get good mileage in Bollywood, as its duration is very short in the movie. Recently Priya did one such shorter role in Sridevi's 'English Vinglish', but got no use of it. If Priyamani role really works for Priya Anand, then the actress will cement her position in B-town, unlike our other hotties like Asin and Trisha who failed to crack the nut.

Washington, Oct 27: Sleuths of the FBI have nabbed software professional Raghunandan Yandamuri for killing 10-month-old girl child Sanvi and her grand mother.

It is learnt that Raghunandan of Visakhapatnam was living in the same flat as Sanvi's parents were living and hoped to get a ransom of 50000 dollars by kidnapping the child. He told the investigators that he had killed Sanvi's grandmother Satyavati as she resisted the kidnap.

The killing of Satyavati and kidnap of Saanvi in Pennsylvania has stunned the Indians settled in the USA. Saanvi was kidnapped from the Upper Marian Apartment Complex. After arresting Raghunandan, he led the police to the gymnasium locker in the King of Prussia Apartment, where he hid the dead body of the kid. It is learnt that Raghu told the police that he had targeted Sanvi's parents as both of them were employed.

As every criminal does a mistake and gets caught because of it, Raghu had also done a mistake and was caught because of it. Saanvi's father has a nickname as Shiva and her mother has the nick name of Lata. This nick name is known only to close family members and friends. The murderer has mentioned these nick names in the ransom letter he has left behind. FBI agents investigating the case have enquired about the persons knowing these nicknames. Then they started investigating into the list and zeroed in on Raghu.

The murderer has left behind ten copies of his ransom demand in the apartment. He reportedly told the police that he has stuffed a handkerchief in the mouth of the child as she started weeping.

Hyderabad, Oct 26: A five-year-old boy was killed and a girl injured when they were run over by a car during the shooting of a television serial here Friday, police said.

The children, who had come to watch the shooting of the Telugu TV serial "Indrani" at Chandanagar, came under the wheels of the car, which was being allegedly driven by a TV actress.

Bollywood action star Ajay Devgn seems to be not satisfied with milky beauty Tamannah. It is a known fact that film makers asked Tamannah to dole out more glamor treat which she refused. As such film makers roped in six stunning beauties to make Ajay Devgn happy and they are more than willing to oblige him.

Now our milky beauty Tamannah will be competing with six beauties from different regional languages. They are Sayanti Ghosh (TV star and Bengali film actress), Rinku Ghosh(Bhojpuri item gal), Amrutha Khanwilkar(Marathi actress), Mona Tiba (Gujarati star), Survin Chavla(TV host and Punjabi actress).

While Sajid Khan is keen to give pan India feel to the film, it has to be seen how Tamanna will wade off this six stunning beauties explosion on silver screen.

New Delhi, Oct 25: It is reliably learnt that the central cabinet will be reconstituted and expanded on Sunday. The government has reportedly informed the Rashtrapti Bhavan authorities about the possible swearing in of the new ministers.

Rajya Sabha member Chiranjeevi was already asked to be available in the capital. Now it is learnt that Kurnool MP Kotla Surya Prakasha Reddy was also asked to make himself available in Delhi.

Several state MPs are aspiring for the cabinet berths as several posts fell vacant because of the departure of the Trinamool Congress ministers.

From the Telangana region, the names of Sarve Satyanarayana and Nandi Yellaiah are doing the rounds. Both belong to the weaker sections and their loyalty towards the party and Sonia Gandhi are beyond doubt. Congress high command which has been facing the complex Telangana problem and unable to solve it, may hope for a respite because of inclusion of either of the MPs. Rajya Sabha member Renuka Choudary is also aspiring for cabinet berth in view of her experience.

From the coastal region, two senior leaders Kavuri Sambasiva Rao and Rayapati Sambasiva Rao are also aspiring for inclusion in the cabinet. Of these Kavuri might get a chance, say sources.

Charging that the state government was trying to hush up investigation of the case, Ramaiah has said the home minister Sabita Indra Reddy should resign if she had any moral values. Demanding that the name of the minister who was involved should be disclosed, he said the minister should be dismissed. 

Meanwhile, the Bengaluru police are still searching for Suresh, driver of Surendra Babu who has allegedly helped him in the crime. Earlier reports said Satish was arrested. But the Bangalore city police commissioner has clarified that apart from Surendra Babu, no one else was arrested. Even Satish’s family members told the police that he had neither come back, nor called them. His phone is also switched off. Police also said that Surendra Babu has been telling a different answer every time they question him. 

Bangaluru, Oct 26: Police have found the driver of actress Hemasri's husband Surendra Babu who has gone underground from the day of the actress' mysterious death. Bangaluru police have taken Satish into custody on Friday. Investigators are hopeful that he would be able to unravel the entire mystery surrounding the beautiful actress' mysterious death as he could be the last person to have seen her alive. Satish has been working as the driver of Surendra Babu since the last two years and said to be a confident. He is suspected to have helped Surendra Babu in what had happened on the last day of the actress' life. Satish left Surehdra Babu some time ago and has joined back few days before the death of Hemasri. Why he has left and again rejoined Surendra Babu are intriguing. Police are also interrogating the driver on reasons for his disappearance and where he has been hiding all these days. Hemasri who acted in several Kannada films and also in some Telugu serials was found dead under mysterious circumstances on October 9. Police have arrested her husband Surendra Babu on the next day, basing on a complaint by the actress' father. It was learnt that Hemasri died due to an over dose of chloroform. Postmortem report has also reportedly mentioned that there were injuries on her mouth, nose and forehead. Basing on these facts, police suspect this to be a murder.

So, sweet of this heroine that she revealed her success secret... of course, to follow or not to follow this secret, depends upon the feasibility of other heroines... but...

If you remember, irrespective of the success - flop ratio of her films, Ileana has always been a most wanted heroine in T - Town, right from her debut.

Even this actress managed to bag some promising offers, after her B - Town debut film, 'Barfi' turned out to be a hit and Ileana being joined in the 100 crore heroines ka band.

Ileana says, she will transform her looks and body according to the role, for every film... this way she would look new in every film, at least to certain extent and would retain many more years in the lime light.

Good going Ileana.

In the recent Telangana protests, albeit very strong, there was no sign of the leader of the movement, K Chandrasekhara Rao, the president of Telangana Rashtra Samithi. Without his active participation in the protests, there were many skeptical onlookers who couldn't fathom a reason behind his absence. The party insiders however tried to hush the matters by indirectly spreading news that their leader was seriously ill and asked to take rest for the time being.

What is the truth behind his absence? Is KCR really ill, so much so that he has to stay back and take rest? Is the “serious illness” similar to Sonia Gandhi's “undisclosed” illness that is still a mystery to the nation? A few sources on the other hand said that KCR was just fine and has been spending merry time at his farm house in Medak. They said that he couldn't show his face to the people after he lobbied with the Congress to secure a separate Telangana state. He even went as far as proposing to merge his party with the Congress in a quid pro quo move.

The source said that unable to bear the shame of his loss he has been maintaining a low profile ever since. When the people forget his absence from the crowd, he would surge again with another active movement and fight for Telangana, sources said. What exactly is KCR's strategy?

After taking a head on collision with TDP Chief Chandrababu through a new paada yaatra, YSR-Congress working president Sharmila is slightly going out of ideas it seems. Let us see the selling points of both these parties at the moment.

When it comes to Naidu, everyday he is showing something new to people with his unique ways of interacting with them. But Sharmila is simply giving lengthy speeches taking a dig at Kiran and Naidu. Naidu made all new proposals like BC declaration, SC categorization and extension of his old schemes to woo the audience. On the other hand Sharmila is promising that she will implement YSR's schemes if Jagan becomes CM. To the most, all of the YSR launched Congress schemes are running already except some budget changes. So, this statement from Sharmila is not getting attention, say analysts. With too many selling points in hand, for now Naidu is scoring full marks.

This time, sympathy wave might work for Naidu also, as the TDP leader became thin and weak with his Paada Yaatra and that might work wonders for him. But 'Jagan in jail' is a big sympathy generator than all these stuff, say Congress leaders who are ready to migrate into YSR-C.

Political analysts have finally defined that a temporary holiday is given to Telangana Movement. With all political outfits busy with their own plans for 2014 elections, there seems no time for movement.

If Congress fails to win in 2014 elections, they will get a holiday of 5 years without any work. Same is the case with Telugudesam and in their case that will mark the end of Naidu's era also (age factor). If TRS fails to score manageable seats in Telangana, the party will lose sheen forever and no one will believe their T-sentiment. For Jagan's party, the main aim is to make YS Jagan the chief minister of this state and that is the only aim of YSR-Congress.

At this juncture, if parties focused on Telangana, they will get nothing. Only if they could amass votes in 2014 elections, they can sing tunes for the next 5 years. So, giving holiday is not a big thing for them.

Reading the headline might make you get some naughty thoughts and you might wonder who this heroine is. But here are the full details. It is heard that the voluptuous and highly seductive actress from Kollywood Andrea Jeremiah has been approached for a special event.

Well, she has been asked to perform for the December 31st night celebrations by a noted club and it is heard that she is being offered a whopping Rs 50 lakhs for that stint. Buzz is that Andrea has got a good amount of following in Tamil Nadu and she is also a very talented singer.

Recently she made it to headlines for her alleged kissing snaps with the young music director Anirudh Ravichander of 'Kolaveri Di' fame. Whatever it may be the figure that this sexy actress is being offered has become a hot topic of discussion among many. Let us see if Andrea says yes to this or not.

It is time for protests in Telugu Industry, and groups from various political outfits and social circuits are protesting against many things in films. Though we have to see films as films, none believe this right now.

Sundeep Kishan's latest movie 'Routine Love Story' has created good buzz with its posters. But there comes the twist. Some associations that work for female empowerment are saying that the posters are insulting women, as they show heroine in a fighter mode with bruises all over. In that case, it is male-youths who should protest as the heroine is lifting her leg in a poster to hit hero on the sensitive part. Though the movie says that relationships are fun, in reality, Protests are fun.

LBW fame director Praveen Sattaru is sculpting this flick, and the posters have created nice expectations for this cute love story. Let us see if someone protests against the movie, such that it will get huge openings too!

Mohanbabu's elder son Manchu Vishnu is yet to taste another success after Dhee, which was released four years ago. After trying his hand at mass and action films he is back to comedy with Denikaina Ready. He is expecting nothing short of Dhee with this movie. Does Denikaina Ready have enough fire power to rule the box office? Check the details.

What is it about?

Suleiman (Vishnu) comes to Narasimha Rayudu's (Prabhu) house to unite their families that have been separated as his mother married a Muslim. Suleiman comes in the disguise of Krishna Sastry and operates his mission and how he succeeds is the main plot of this film.

Performances:

Vishnu is apt in his role. He is at ease in comedic scenes. He has improved a lot on the histrionics side. Vishnu also did some special dance moves and excelled in the combination scenes of Brahmanandam. He should better concentrate on these type of movies where he doesn't need to shoulder the film all by himself. Hansika is overweight. She should seriously consider losing few kilos or else she will have to face the ire of audiences.

Brahmanandam is one of the main pillars of this film. He has excelled in this role and entertains to the core. MS Narayana compliments him well and so does the other comedians and support cast. Suman, Seetha and other senior actors added the emotional value to this entertainer. All in all Denikaina Ready is a decent film on the performances front.

On the Technical Front:

Dialogues are hilarious at times. Marudhuri Raja has a knack of cracking a joke all of a sudden and you can't control your laughter to his wise cracks. Story is alright and screenplay is neat. Kona Venkat and Gopi Mohan treated this film in Srinu Vytla's format and that has made this movie special. Music has been composed by Chakri and Yuvan Shankar Raja. Songs are fine. Background score is okay. Cinematography is rich and editing is slick. There are no compromises on producer's side. Director Nageswara Reddy made films like 6 Teens, Girlfriend, Seema Sastry etc in the past. He knows the pulse of audiences and is good at comedy. His experience has come in handy for this movie.

Analysis:

Denikaina Ready doesn't have a great story to boast off. But the screenplay is racy and the characters are etched well. Good amount of work is put on developing the script and that is evident in many scenes. Despite few glitches here and there, Denikaina Ready entertains most of the time.

There are not many expectations on this movie and that should help Denikaina Ready to score extra points. This is easily the best work of Manchu Vishnu since Dhee. The only aim of this film is to entertain right from the start to end. The writers and director have succeeded in making it work.

Denikaina Ready is the right movie during this festive season. Families can go and enjoy the comedy ride. Good publicity can boost up the film to grab the attention of public. There are no entertainers currently in the market and hence Denikaina Ready has an edge if one looks for comedy and only comedy. Despite few lows in the screenplay it is an alright comedy entertainer with good amount of action. Word of mouth should help the movie to go to the next level. As of now the openings are just okay.

Verdict: Denikaina Ready is Entertaining.

A 23-year-old fashion model and a small-time actor, who had Miss Chennai crown to her name, was
found murdered at her rented flat here, police said on Tuesday.
Bidushi Dash Barde, who hailed from Odisha but was brought up in Chennai, was found brutally killed in her apartment in suburban Andheri last night. Her software engineer-husband Kedar found the body which bore injury marks, inflicted by a sharp-edged weapon, on her neck and chin, they said.
Robbery has been ruled out as the motive since no valuable was missing from the house, police said, adding there were no signs of a forced entry, indicating the assailant was known to the victim.
According to Bidushi's father, who is an Air Force official, his daughter had also worked in a number of South Indian films.

After returning from work at around 8 pm, Kedar (26) entered the apartment using a duplicate key as repeated knock on the door did not elicit any response. He found Bidushi, a diabetic, lying in a pool of blood outside the bedroom. Kedar had left home at around 7.45 am, police said.
He alerted the neighbours and Bidushi was taken to a nearby private hospital where she was declared dead before admission, said V D Bhoite, Senior Inspector at D.N. Nagar Police Station.
Initially, police suspected Bidushi may have collapsed due to diabetes-related complications and suffered fatal injuries after falling on a glass showcase. However, the post-mortem report showed she was stabbed, following which police registered a murder case.
According to police sources, a neighbour told the investigators that she had seen a man at her house for a while yesterday afternoon.
Kedar and Bidushi had a love marriage three years ago and they moved to Mumbai one and half years ago. Police were collecting CCTV footage from the building.
