Let us wait and see how long Sushant will maintain his relationship with Kriti.
Sydney: Jasvinder Sidhu, a lecturer at a college in Melbourne, has helped expose a large visa scam involving Indians moving to Australia.
"Some of the fake visa-holders had gone on to be exploited, and in some cases raped, by their bosses," according to a report by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation or ABC.
Mr Sidhu was allegedly approached on Facebook by a local "visa fixer" who sought introductions to Indians looking to migrate to Australia. The fixer, who was then filmed on hidden camera, claimed that he could line up corrupt employers who would create fictitious jobs. The fixer wanted a fee of $50,000 per case.
Mr Sidhu, according to the report, was told he would be paid $5,000 for every "applicant" he was able to deliver from India. The fixer said he could organize student and IT visas.
His revelations are part of a large investigation that includes examining corruption among government officials.
The ABC reports: "Mr Sidhu said he had personally met at least 40 Indians who had paid for fake visas, only to be ripped off by fixers or exploited by unscrupulous bosses who were part of the corrupt schemes...we have seen girls being raped by their employers, we have seen people with other major injuries at work, and they don't complain."
WASHINGTON: A top American Senator has asked the Obama Administration to discontinue issuing immigrant and non-immigrant visas to citizens from 23 countries, including India and China, while alleging them of being non-cooperative in taking back illegal immigrants from the US.
"Dangerous criminals, including murderers, are being released every day because their home countries will not cooperate in taking them back," Republican Senator Senate Chuck Grassley said in a letter to the Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson.
In fiscal year 2015 alone, 2,166 individuals were released in the US because of this decision and the non-cooperation from recalcitrant countries; more than 6,100 were released in the preceding two years, Grassley, who is the Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman, said.
Currently, 23 countries are labelled by the US as uncooperative, with the top five most recalcitrant countries being Cuba, China, Somalia, India, and Ghana, Grassley said.
In addition, US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement is monitoring another 62 nations where cooperation is strained, but which are not yet deemed recalcitrant.
In the letter to Johnson, Grassley reminded him that, Congress addressed this problem when it enacted section 243(d) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
"Under section 243(d), the Secretary of State is required to discontinue granting immigrant or non-immigrant visas to a country upon receiving notice from you that the country has denied or is unreasonably delaying accepting a citizen, subject, national or resident of that country," he said.
"This tool has been used only once, in the case of Guyana in 2001, where it had an immediate effect, resulting in obtaining cooperation from Guyana within two months," Grassley said. (PTI)
Here is a real scoop. Why Anushka has gained weight again although she underwent for rigorous fitness training to be fit for the shoot of “Baahubali 2”. Buzz is that she is facing low metabolism issues and has gained weight recently again.
As she needs to look slim like queen Deva Sena in Rajamouli’s conclusion part, she is now taking weight reduction treatment.
She is not going for liposuction or other such treatments, she reportedly taking regular medication to improve her metabolism. At the same time, she is reportedly doing yoga and other fitness exercises.
She has crossed 34 years and it has becom
e tough for her to maintain well-toned body as her body tends to gain weight easily, said a source. But Sweety is sweating hard to be fit.

There is unprecedented craze and hype around Rajinikanth's Kabali in Kollywood trade. The film has done sensational pre release business over there.
Kabali Telugu dubbing rights were bought for a bomb. The pr
oducers who bought Kabali rights have reportedly spent 34 crore on it.
This looked absolutely ridiculous as a dubbing film cannot be able to recover that much money if it goes wrong.
Rajini’s previous film Lingaa was a huge flop in Telugu and the investors have lost more than half of their investment. Despite that Kabali rights have fetched fancy offers from Telugu producers.
Looks like their blind faith in Rajinikanth’s superstardom is paying off. Kabali has been getting mind-boggling offers from the third parties and exhibitors from small towns. Kabali teasers have multiplied the expectations on the film.
Everyone believes that Rajini is going to set box office on fire. Although Kabali isn’t a regular commercial film from Rajinikanth, trade believes that it could work wonders if the film lives up to expectations.
Mega hero Sai Dharam Tej is also joining the big race. His next film Thikka is announced to be released in August. Young Tiger Jr NTR's much awaited movie Janatha Garage and Naga Chaitanya's Premam which is the remake of Malayalam industry hit movie of same title will also be released in the same month. So, Sai Dharam Tej's film will clash with two overestimated projects.
Like his previous movies, Thikka is also said to be a mass action entertainer with adequate comedy. The first look poster was released recently to good response. Audio of the movie composed by SS Thaman will be released in first week of July.
Thikka entire shooting is completed, except for couple of songs. Post production works are also progressing simultaneously. Initially, makers have planned to release the movie in third week of July, but they postponed to August owing to arrival of Rajinikanth's Kabali and Venkatesh's Babu Bangaram in the month.
Larissa Bonesi and Mannara Chopra are female leads in the film directed by Sunil Reddy of Om 3D fame and produced by C Rohin Reddy. Rajendra Prasad, Posani Krishna Murali are prominent cast and Mumaith Khan will be seen in a brief role.
Let's wait and see how tough competition will Tej give to other biggies releasing in the month of August. -

Until a few films ago, Nara Rohit used to be well appreciated by everyone for his penchant for choosing variety scripts which are miles away from the usual run of the mill commercial potboilers that are being made in Tollywood.
However, Rohit came under intense criticism when most of his recent films failed to click at the box-office and even the stories these films didn't impress his fans and critics. Apart from the lackluster stories, the major complaint everyone had about the Nara hero was his obese physique.
In all his recent films such as Thuntari, Savitri and the recent Raja Cheyyi Vesthe, Rohit like quite plump and shabby didn't make for a pleasing on-screen appearance. Even though he had promised to slim down on several occasions, looks like Rohit didn't keep his word even for his next film.
Today, the makers of Nara Rohit's upcoming film, Kathalo Rajakumari released a few stills of Nara Rohit. Except for a slight change to his hairstyle, there is hardly any difference Rohit's physique. This left everyone sigh disappointingly saying that Rohit didn't change even for Rajakumari. - S

Whether the couple of lengthy lip kisses in Hindi film Yaariyaan or that hot lock with Aadi in Rough movie, Rakul Preet Singh never shied away from the kissing scenario. She has also planted a peck on Raviteja's lips in Kick2.
Latest update is that Rakul has now put a kissing clause in her contract, where she's clearly mentioning that she will not kiss for certain reasons. "If the kiss is just for publicity or just to put it on the poster of the film, then I'm not ready to do it. Actually a kiss conveys much more meaning than 100s of words, but that should be rightfully conceived for silver screen", said Rakul.
Of course, our directors say that all kisses are rightfully conceived only

Hero Rajasekhar lost out on many things with the failure of his production venture Gaddam Gang. Things became even more uglier for him when he was ousted from Teja's project for reasons unknown.
Looks like destiny has other plans as he has now been approached by national award wining director Praveen Sattaru. If the latest gossip in T-town is to be believed, Rajasekhar has agreed to do a film in the direction of Praveen who made the controversial Guntur Talkies.

What caught the attention of Movie buffs is the clash of release dates! Both 'Nayaki' and 'Antham' are slated for release on July 8th. Who will have an upper hand at the Box Office?

Despite having safe hat-trick hit films to credit, one does not know why Raj Tharun isn’t rising above a certain level. In fact, ‘Kumari 21 F’ and ‘Seethamma Andalu Ramayya Sithralu’ have been the highest budgeted films in his career while other young heroes are par above this scale. Agreed that, Raj is rated as a safe, minimum guarantee hero but this isn’t enough for producers and directors to approach him.
With plenty of rumors buzzing on Raj Tharun’s over excitement and fingering nature into direction, script departments killing the creative freedom of respective department people, he is quite lucky to sign a deal with Anil Sunkara’s AK Entertainments banner. According to a fresh talk in AK compound, Raj Tharun isn’t really happy with production standards maintained on his ongoing films.
Overall financials decide the budget calculations of a project. As Anil Sunakra and team want to assure a safe profit expenditure ratio, they have reportedly allotted a shoe string budget with which Raj Thaurn is dejected. We also know that Raj Tharun and Manchu Vishnu’s last outing ‘Eedo Rakam Aado Rakam’ is also made on a miserable budget.
Now, this should put a full stop for all the gossips and framed news on Akkineni Naga Chaitanya and Samanta’s relationship. Yes, because Chaitu’s younger brother Akkineni Akhil is likely to hit the headlines for his open love affair with one of a Hyderabad based girl. Though Akhil wants to keep the identity of girl still highly confidential, he reportedly introduced her to parents Nagarjuna, Amala.
Good news is, the girl’s parents and Akkineni family knew each other from ages and shares extremely warm relations. This would ease the tension for Akhil because moving this love towards marriage won’t be a big hurdle. ‘I am not engaged, just introduced the girl in my family. We knew each other from long time but have to follow certain formal traditions before disclosing certain things,’ Akhil admits.
More information, the girl in subject is said to be a fashion designer trained in New York. She is of course good looking, modern and a smart city cultured girl. Till the time Akhil keeps her identity in wraps, media remains far excited to crack it
Social networking made a Burning Star out of Sampoornesh Babu. He hasn’t got any big support to lean on but is today enjoying the attention of entire Telugu film fraternity and Telugu audience with just one film ‘Hrudaya Kaleyam.’ After this movie, Sampoo hasn’t got any hits to mention but he was making the presence felt acting in character artist roles.
Currently, Sampoornesh’s new movie ‘Kobbarimatta’ is into final stages of production and post production. A recently released teaser grabbed our attention and overseas buyers have expressed the readiness to offer fancy prices for bagging the rights. As per reports received, a top distribution firm from America rolled out Rs. 30 Lakhs and bagged the rights in competition.
In fact, small and medium films find it hard to survive in America. Buyers many a times fail to recover the transportation, cube charges and theaters rents, apart from publicity. Aware of this dangerous situation, ‘Kobbarimatta’ making a good pre release business is something really amazing and should be credited for Sampoo image.
Tamil star Vikram (50) looks much younger than his age. That's the reason why people get shocked upon hearing the engagement reports of his Daughter.
Yes, Vikram's Daughter Akshita is going to get engaged to Manu Ranjith who the son of Chennai-based Clavin Care's Bakery Ranganathan. While the engagement ceremony will happen on July 10th, marriage would take place early next year.
Sources say, Akshita and Manu Ranjith have been in a relationship since some time. They decided to take the relationship to the next level with the consent of both the families now.
Vikram who is shooting for his forthcoming flick 'Iru Mugan' is likely to take a break for looking after arrangements of engagement ceremony.

Movie Review: Kundanapu Bomma
Rating: 2/5
Cast: Chandini Chowdhary, Sudhakar, Sudheer Varma, Rajeev Kanakala, Jhansi, Shakalaka Shankar and Others.
Music: MM Keeravani
Cinematography: SD Jaan
Producer: Anil Kumar Raju & Vamsi Krishna
Story, Screenplay & Direction: Vara Mullapudi
Release Date: 24th June 2016
Vara Mullapudi (S/O of Iconic Writer Mullapudi Ramana & Son-in-Law of Legendary Director Bapu) attempted direction twice in the past. Neither NTR's slapstick comedy 'Naa Alludu' nor Allari Naresh's thriller 'Visakha Express' helped him establish as a Director. In his third attempt, He made a love story set in rural backdrop. Can Vara Mullapudi leave a mark of his own at least with 'Kundanapu Bomma'?
Synopsis:
Suchitra (Chandini Chowdhary), a Vizianagaram native, falls in love with a Car Mechanic Vasu (Sudheer Varma). However, Her Father Mahadeva Raju always wanted to marry off her to close relative's son Gopi (Sudhakar). For some reason, Gopi is against this alliance and hence the marriage gets delayed. Now, The Love Birds seek Gopi's help to convey their love matter to Mahadeva Raju. Has Gopi fulfilled the wish of Suchitra & Vasu? What consequences did the Lovers face?
Performances:
If the Story & Screenplay were so weak, Actors could do nothing much and that's what happens in the case of 'Kundanapu Bomma' as well. Chandini Chowdary looked beautiful but she hardly managed to win the hearts with acting prowess. Debutante Sudheer Varma has done a fine job. Rajeev Kanakala performs well and he generates humor. Sudhakar was wasted. Nagineedu's role ends abruptly. Jhansi and Shakalaka Shankar fails to tickle the funny bone.
Pros:
Rajeev Kanakala
Cinematography
Cons:
Music
Screenplay
Direction
Technicalities:
Don't expect MM Keeravani-mark music in 'Kundanapu Bomma'. Both Songs and Background Score were below-par. A song recorded by KV Mahadevan for Bapu has been remixed for this movie and its alright. Cinematography is good. Dialogues were outdated. Editing is poor. Production Values were okay. Vara Mullapudi continued to deliver unimpressive stuff inspite of two big blows in the past.
Analysis:
First things first, 'Naa Alludu' & 'Visakha Express' looks better than 'Kundanapur Bomma' in every aspect. This statement gives a clear picture of how this rustic love story has shaped up. Vara Mullapudi messed it completely with Outdated Story/Screenplay, Emotions which don't elevate an any point and Cliched Comedy Blocks.
Heroine falls in love with Hero just for helping her in Examination. One can expect how this love story has ended after knowing about this one sequence. Silly jokes which were doing rounds on WhatsApp have been included in Comedy Scenes. Even Chiru's English translation comedy in 'Shankardada MBBS' wasn't spared. Although the actual intention is to make it an out & out entertainer, Poor writing and bad execution kept irritating the Viewer. The only time audience laugh is during the Emotional Scenes and that's an indication of how bad they were.
Except for Rajeev Kanakala's role and couple of jokes, 'Kundanapu Bomma' lacks any positives. Its tiring to watch this poorly scripted flick till the end cards. Which means, Vara Mullapudi has scored a Hat-Trick!
Bottom Line: Better Stay Away!

Young and gorgeous Delhi beauty Surabhi has scored back-to-back hits with both her 2016 releases, Sharwanand’s Express Raja and Nani’s Gentleman. While everyone is of opinion that Surabhi will make hay while the sun shines, the actress thinks otherwise.
Speaking at the Gentleman’s success meet recently, Surabhi says that she gives utmost importance to the script and her character and that she will never accept insignificant and glamorous roles that are designed merely for titillating the audiences.
Young Tiger NTR will soon team up with Vakkantham Vamsi and the latter steps into the shoes of a director. Vakkantham Vamsi has an interesting script being readied for NTR right now. If at all the buzz is to be believed, NTR opted for Niveda Thomas as one of the lead actresses of the movie.
Niveda Thomass impressed a big time as the female lead in Natural Star Nani's 'Gentleman' which hit the screens recently. Co-incidentally, NTR prefers to share the screen space with Malayalam actresses in two back to back films. It is a known news that Nitya Menen romances NTR in 'Janatha Garage'. Likewise, another Malayalam beauty Niveda may also play romantic interest of NTR for his next.
'Janatha Garage's shoot is currently underway. The movie is being directed by Koratala Siva. Devi Sri Prasad is composing the tunes of the movie. Mythri Movie Makers are producing the film. The movie's release date has been locked to August 12.
