In an emotional outburst during an earlier press meet, the actor clarified that he is not going to file any review-petition or mercy petition to shorten the punishment awarded by Supreme Court to him. However all that talk is not holding true as Sanjay Dutt is getting ready to file a review petition very soon such that his sentence will be shortened. Sources say that Sanjay's lawyers have finally found some loop holes in the case that can bail him out. As he is acquitted under TADA charges earlier and only punished with Arms Act, he is now going to ask that the punishment should also go much softer.
Legal experts however say that it takes an year for Supreme Court to entertain and give decision on Sanjay's petition in the minimum. So the modern Sher Khan may not escape at least some time in Lord Krishna's birth place.

Heroine Anjali who enthralled the audience with her stellar performance in ‘Sitamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu’ shocked every one by stating that she was facing life threat from her stepmother and a Tamil film director. The heroine said her stepmother Bharati Devi and Tamil director Kalanjiyam started using her as an ATM, using up all her hard earned money for their luxuries. She said she came down to Hyderabad as she faced life threat from the two. She said she was telling the media all this, as a measure of safety. She threatened that if even a small harm came to her, her stepmother Bharati Devi and the director Kalanjiyam would be responsible. Anjali who came to Hyderabad along with her uncle, suddenly vanished from her hotel. Meanwhile Bharati Devi, who claims to be the sister of Anjali's mother is claiming that it was with the consent of her mother, that they adopted Anjali 15 years ago. She told Telugu TV media over phone from Chennai that since childhood she did not heed their advise of pursuing studies as she had no interest in education. She said she was taking around Rs. 10 lakhs per film in Tamil. After she was offered Rs. 20 lakhs for Sitamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu, she was getting remuneration in the same range. She questioned how Anjali could have earned crores of rupees when her remuneration was not much. She said this could be checked even with the producers at Hyderabad. She said apart from taking a part of her income for the household expenditure, she never touched her money. She claimed that even before leaving for Hyderabad, Anjali was happy and moved closely with her. She said she did not understand why she had started saying such things against her.Kolanjiyam files caseMeanwhile, the Kollywood director Kolanjiyam about whom Anjali complained, alleged that in fact she had cheated him. He met the Chennai police commissioner on Tuesday and complained against her. He expressed anger that Anjali defamed him. He told the media that she gave him call-sheets till May 26 and insisted that she must act in his film until it was completed. Meanwhile, Anjali’s whereabouts were not known after she disappeared from a Hyderabad hotel. She suddenly slipped out, when her uncle went out of the hotel for a while. When he tried to call, her phone was switched off. Because of her disappearance her shooting schedules in Hyderabad were stalled. Anjali is presently acting in ‘Balupu’ of Ravi Teja in Telugu. She is also acting in some Tamil films.
While interacting with media during the Success Meet of 'Baadshah', Jr NTR stated as follows:
'I'm very happy now for Baadshah becoming a big hit. Don't distance me from happiness by dragging me into unnecessary controversies. I always say this and saying now that only NTR's blood flows through my body. By serving my parents and remembering my grandfather for the stature he has given, I'll be with the party established by him', said Jr NTR.
Looks like, things are very clear for his detractors after these comments by NTR. People who are using his photos for the cut-outs of other political parties should realize at least now. 'With Jr NTR stating that he will be with TDP forever, oppositions should shut mouths at least now', says a TDP leader.
Hyderabad,
April 8: Home minister Sabita Indra Reddy who is named accused in the
Jagan assets case, met the Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy soon after
he came back from Delhi, where he attended the Chief Ministers and Chief
Justices conference.
It is learnt that she discussed
about her predicament with Kiran Kumar Reddy. It is not yet clear if she
would resign like Dharmana and leave the matter to the Chief Minister
or wait for some more time before quitting the cabinet. It may be
recalled that after the Chief Minister rejected the resignation of
Dharmana CBI could not arrest him. He is attending the court whenever
called, in his capacity as a minister. It should be seen if Sabita also
would be permitted the same privilege.
Sabita wanted to resign
Soon
after knowing about CBI charge-sheet, PCC president Botsa Satyanarayana
and finance minister Anam Rama Narayana Reddy went to Sabita’s house
and discussed about the case.
Speaking to the media later,
Botsa said Sabita wanted to resign, as she felt it was not proper for
her to continue in office after she was named. He said every one
including the Chief Minister had asked her to wait until all the issues
concerned were carefully discussed and legal opinion obtained.

April 8: Nandamuri Hari Krishna, TDP politburo member strongly
supported his son in the flexi banner controversy. He also said there
was nothing wrong in any one (YSR Congress) using the picture of his
late father NT Rama Rao as he belonged to all the people. Talking to the media here on Monday, he gave a strong warning to Bala Krishna for threatening to take stern action against his son Jr. NTR in the flexi banner controversy. He said he did not know whether to be angry or sad at the threat of Bala Krishna. He said Jr. NTR had already given clarification that he had nothing to do with the action of some people, and argued that there was no need for clarifying it again and again. He said he only felt sad at the warning to his son. He also indirectly warned Balayya to control his tongue. He said it was improper to talk whatever one liked. He said Jr. NTR grew up in age and stature and earned millions of fans. He also got married recently and needed due respect. Stating that in a democracy, everything should be settled before the people, he said he was ready to talk about it in 'Bazaar', with Congress, TDP or YSR Congress, if they were ready to answer his questions. Without mentioning the name of Balayya, he said one should not talk as he liked, while referring to the threat of action by the TDP against his son. It may be recalled that Balayya warned Jr. NTR that he would have to face serious consequences if he did not condemn use of his pictures on the hoardings of the YSR Congress. On the criticism of TDP leaders about the use of his father late N T Rama Rao's pictures by the YSR Congress, Hari Krishna said the late actor and leader was like God to his fans and argued that anyone could use his pictures. "A fan uses his picture. Can we displease him? When Maya Bazaar was released, every house had the picture of NTR. People worshipped him like God. How can we say no to it? If someone does something, should our family be victimized?" he questioned. Referring to the charge that use of NTR's picture was political debauchery, Hari Krishna questioned how can it be called that. Stating that he would not like to mention the name of the person who called it political debauchery, he said there was nothing wrong with use of the pictures of NTR. He said there was not a human like NTR before him are after him. As such he belonged to all and every one had the right to use his picture. He said it was the need of the hour that they all tried to save the party founded by late NTR. |

It is now being discussed in political circles if Sabita Indra Reddy would resign. It may recalled that minister Dharmana Prasada Rao who was named accused in the Vanpic case had resigned soon after his name was mentioned in the charge-sheet. However, the Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy chose not to accept it. Another former minister Mopidevi Venkata Ramana is already in jail. CBI counsel Ashok Bhan took strong exception to Dharmana’s resignation not being accepted.He said if there were any morals left, Dharmana should have quit the cabinet. In this context, there is high tension among the remaining cabinet members. It may be mentioned that the Supreme Court has already issued notices to Sabita Indra Reddy, Ponnala Lakshmaiah, Geeta Reddy and Kanna Lakshmi Narayana. Now CBI named Sabita an accused charging her of liberally allotting lands to cement companies including Dalmia cements, which in turn invested in Jagan’s companies.

Nagarjuna, who looked as handsome and young as ever, said that he has enjoyed dancing to the tunes of Thaman. He told that Thaman's music inspired him to do good dance moves in Greeku Veerudu. He also credited choreographer Ganesh Master for bringing out the best in him. Finally, he said that few people are asking about his retirement from films. 'Why would I retire from films? Chaitanya may retire and even Akhil may debut and also retire in the meantime. But I won't retire from acting until the end. Bathikinanta kaalam King laane bathukutha (I will live like the King forever),' he said amidst the cheers of his fans.
Nagarjuna said that he loves to hear to the cheers of his fans and that gives him energy to move ahead. He added that his father is his inspiration and he has taught him discipline. He wished that Chaitanya and Akhil too will follow their grandfather and father.
An interesting thing happened today at the audio of launch of 'Greekuveerudu' today. With every celeb attending the event praising Nag with beautiful words, he thanked one and all in the end. Later he also thanked Udayabhanu for praising him all through the music launch. He gestured by spreading his arms and invited our anchor for a hug. Udayabhanu is both shell shocked and stunned by Nagarjuna's call and ran to him immediately with over excitement to take that hug.
Other heroines Anushka and Priyamani who are sharing stage alongside all celebs might have felt jealous looking at Nag's hug to Udayabhanu.

Hyderabad, April 2: The statement of Congress senior leader and Rajya Sabha member Palvai Govardhan Reddy that there was no danger to the Congress government in the state even if 20 more MLAs left the party and joined the YSR Congress, as the TDP chief Chandra Babu Naidu would protect, stunned every one.This has been exactly the charge of the YSR Congress all along and the senior Congress leader admitting it surprised many including even the YSRCP leaders. There have been doubts that Naidu deliberately made his party maintain neutrality during the recent no-confidence vote and saved the government. TRS and YSRCP leaders had already charged the TDP chief of protecting the government in return for relief from probe into charges against him. It was even said earlier that Naidu met Chidambaram on a night in Delhi and buying truce from the CBI probe into his assets. But Govardhan Reddy saying it, astonished every one. Govardhan Reddy said many more MLAs of the party were going to leave the party and join the Jagan bandwagon. He said some ministers were also readying to join the Jagan bandwagon and even Congress President Sonia Gandhi knew about it. He said still the government would not fall. There is a hot debate in the political circles on why such a senior leader made such an off the cuff remark. Even if there was some secret understanding between the Congress and TDP, how could he openly state it, Congress leaders are privately discussing. Meanwhile, the YSR Congress leaders were enthused by the statement of the RS member. Party leaders who sat with Vijayamma in the fast camp in the New MLA quarters told her about the statement of Govardhan Reddy and the YSRCP leaders were seen discussing about it. As the statement came handy, YSRCP leaders are likely to make a campaign about it from tomorrow onwards.Palvai said they had information that some ministers also would be joining the Jagan bandwagon. It is already being reported that the jailed former minister Mopidevi Venkata Ramana had already decided to join the YSR Congress. He is likely to join the party as soon as he gets bail. It is also learnt that Jagan had also cleared Mopidevi’s entry and even assured ticket to him in the 2014 elections.

Swamy Ra Ra Movie Review March 23rd, 2013, 12:00 AM IST Movie : Swamy Ra Ra Rating: 3/5 Cast : Nikhil, Swathi, Ravi Babu, Pooja Ramachandran and others Directed by : Sudhir Varma Produced by : Chakri Chigurupati Banner : Lakshmi Narasimha Entertainments Music : Sunny Release Date : 2013-03-23
Swamy Ra Ra is a low budget film which didn't rise any expectations among the film lovers. However the film has a decent star cast to grab the attention and director Sudhir Varma made his attempt count with the limited resources he has in offer.
What is it about?
Surya (Nikhil) a pickpocketer falls in love with Swathi (Swathi), from whom he steals a bike. Swathi lands in a trouble due to a stole idol of Ganesha and Surya has a part to play in it. Now he has to save her from deadly goons who are after that invaluable idol.
Performances:
Nikhil is decent as the pick pocketer. His usual over enthusiastic nature is missing and that is a welcome change. He did well as the lead man with a neat performance. Swathi is fine as the innocent young lady. She impresses with her cool attitude. Pooja is striking as Nikhil's friend. Ravi Babu is competitive. Jeeva is routine and all others did well in their respective roles. Most of the star cast consists newcomers and all of them are good.
Technicalities:
Music by Sunny is an asset. His background score did the talking for this technically well made film. Cinematography is top notch for a film made in a very limited budget. The technical crew deserves a pat for making this technically brilliant in all aspects. Editing could have been crisper though. Dialogues penned by the director are alright. Director Sudhir Varma is an ardent fan of Ram Gopal Varma and there are many scenes and instances where he reminds you of vintage Varma. The director also is inspired by Quentin Tarantino and Guy Ritchie. The film is made in the lines of Lock Stock and two smoking barrels and Snatch. Director has a style in conceiving action scenes and it is commendable.
Analysis:
Despite all its positives, Swamy Ra Ra fails at times due to slow pace. This gets on to your nerves during few scenes. Director is fond of slow motion camera movements and he implements that style in chase sequences too. The film pleads to rush the proceedings and director took his own sweet time to wrap things up. That is the biggest minus for this film.
If you can pardon its pace, Swamy Ra Ra makes a decent watch for its premise and technical finesse. It is pretty hard to find small budget gems these days. This film is one of those rare good films in this zone. This film will impress the audience who look for some variety. The director was caught in a dilemma whether to make this a thriller or a comedy and he ended up somewhere in the middle.
If he had a clear idea about the genre and stuck to his guns this film might have been a better one. However, despite the short comings, Swamy Ra Ra is worth watching and will appeal to the target audience. It has a fair chance to work in A centers if promoted well.
Verdict: Nice work Swamy!
Already, the makers have roped Samantha for the role of one of the female leads and now Tamanna was chosen to occupy the other spot. The milky babe herself confirmed signing the film of a debutante actor.
According to the reliable sources, Tamanna was offered Rs 1.25 crore to sign the film and the beauty grabbed it immediately as she can't say no to such lucrative offer even though she was asked to share screen space with a new comer.
However, sources close to the actress deny that money is never a criteria for signing a film and it's always the content of the script that matters the most.
Tamanna has three projects in her kitty at the moment. A Bollywood film with Akshay Kumar, Ajith's next film and Bellamkonda's project.
Generally we see songs on age of hot-bombs as item-songs in Telugu movies. Mumaith's song in Pokiri is an example of it that goes 'Ippatikinka Na Vayasu Ninda Padaharey'. But now our mass-raja is singing a song praising the hotness of heroine who is in a right age of sensuality and for romance. 'Paathikella Chinnadi...' is the latest tune Ravi Teja is grooving too alongside red hot siren Shruti Haasan. This is a part of 'Balupu' movie which is getting shot at Ramoji Film City right now.
Sources revealed that Ravi Teja will be seen in a 'pakka' mass avatar in this song praising the beauty of hot girl Shruti will all possible masala superlatives. Shruti Haasan is also going for a complete masala look to enthral B & C centre audiences. Once again Thaman is composing for Ravi Teja, and we have to really wait for this song.

When there is no competition or any other top starlet's presence in the area, definitely juniors will get a chance to showcase their wild side. Same thing is happening with cute beauty Aksha now.Among the bunch of small films that have hit marquee last week, only heroine who is a known face happens to be Aksha.
