Story , screenplay and dialogues : Maruthi
Director : Maruthi
Music : JB
Cinematography : Prabhakar Reddy
Producer : Bellamkonda Suresh
Banner : Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Productions
Release Date : November 11, 2012
Story :
‘Bus Stop’ movie is set in a colony backdrop and the story is all about current generation youngsters and their lifestyle. Lead actor in ‘Bus Stop’ movie, Srinu(Prince) is deeply in love with his tenth classmate Shailaja(Sri Divya) and his friend Kanna(Kanna) is crazy about Seema(Hasika). Srinu wants to marry Shailaja, but Shailaja’s family thinks otherwise about their relationship. Does Srinu marry Shailaja ? Will Shailaja’s parents accept their love ? All these must be watched on the big screen
Analysis :
First half of ‘Bus Stop’ movie is filled with loads of entertaining episodes with high dosage of double meaning dialogues. Director Maruthi has given equal importance to each and every character and almost all the artists were given enough time on the screen to entertain the audience. Director Maruthi has taken a lot of care especially with the screenplay part and that is the reason audience will not get bored of any scene in the first half.
After a rib tickling episodes in the first half, Maruthi changed the genre in the second half and added sentiment. Though most of the scenes in the second half are predictable, lead actress Sri Divya, Kanna and Saikumar Pampana have rendered good performances. Climax of the ‘Bus Stop movie is heavy but the message conveyed must be appreciated.
Director Maruthi has once again chosen the same genre like he did for his first film ‘Ee Rojullo’. Maruthi has added loads of sexual humor in the dialogues and after seeing the movie, one can definitely say that the director’s target audiences are only teenagers. But going ahead, Maruthi should definitely come out of this adult comedy genre as his ‘Ee Rojullo’ and ‘Bus Stop’ have got the same type of adult comedy. Maruthi’s dialogues are additional asset for the film and they are definitely going to hit hard for the teenagers. Performances by the all the artists were good and the director succeeded in getting 100% output from each and every character. Songs picturisation is good and the fate of ‘Bus Stop’ movie purely depends upon the way makers promote the film, as there is no other Telugu film lined up for a release this week(Until Nagarjuna’s Damarukam gets a final release date).
Performances :
Prince is good looking and his performance is good. Sri Divya has given wonderful performance and so did Hasika. Hasika not only excelled as a naughty girl but entertained the audience with her dance. Kanna did a very good job and his performance in the second half can be appreciated. Sai Kumar Pampana is the major asset for the movie and his dialogues received good response from the audience. Murali Krishna (DMK) has given satisfactory performance as the father of Kanna. Rao Ramesh has given good performance and some of his dialogues will definitely hit hard to the youngsters.
Technicalities :
Screenplay and dialogues provided by Maruthi are excellent and JB has composed good music for the film. Cinematography by Prabhakar Reddy is nice and the film has been mostly shot with Canon 5D system. Production values of Lakhshmi Narasimha banner are good.
Positives :
Dialogues
Youthful story
Artists performances
Negatives :
Predictable story line
Final Word: Watch Bus Stop movie if you like adult comedy entertainers.

Hyderabad, Nov 11: Hardly before the controversies over ‘Women in Brah Ready’ subsided, fresh controversy arose over the just released film ‘Bus S Students organizations SFI and DYFI have launched agitation, demanding said had too many double meaning dialogues and obscenities. Students have raided the Sandhya theatre at the RTC cross roads and torn burnt an effigy of the film makers. Alleging that the censor board has tot warned that they would stop screening of the film all over the state from tension at the Sandhya theatre as students raided when producer Bellam unit members were watching the film. Police rushed to the spot and arrest
New Delhi, Nov 10: A 20-year-old girl was allegedly raped by her boyfriend here after being abducted by him and his two friends, police said. One of the accused has been arrested.
The girl was abducted by the trio accused in a car from west Delhi's Shahbad Dairy around 5 p.m. Friday and was allegedly raped by her boyfriend Sonu, 22.
"The accused later dropped her at a secluded place threatening her of dire consequences if she told anyone," said a police officer.
"One of the accused Ashvini alias Ashu, 20, has been arrested and the hunt is on for the other two," the officer added.
Sonu is an ex-classmate and boyfriend of the victim. He abducted her with the help of Rinku, 20, and Ashvini and raped her, added the officer.
A lot of drama is happening around the censor board of Hyderabad
because of the recent spate of controversies which emerged due to ‘CGR’
‘DKR’ etc. Now, one more film has joined that list. It is ‘Bus Stop’. This is directed by Maruthi who is known for his shady movies like ‘Ee Rojullo’.
As expected, the censor board came down heavily on the film and ordered a straight 45 cuts. The producer of the film Bellamkonda Suresh was shocked with it and in no time he approached the Review Committee. He had reportedly expressed shock over the way the entire series of cuts have been given.
So now, it is heard that the review committee has shown some mercy and ultimately gave ‘Bus Stop’ a clearance with just five cuts. Bellamkonda might be breathing a sigh of relief but then the film was due for release on November 9th and this fell into jeopardy due to the censor issue.
But now, the news is confirmed that it is releasing on 11th Nov.

Denikaina
Ready controversy seems to be never ending with a set of Brahmin
associations sending legal notices to Mohanbabu today seeking an apology
from him within in 24 hours for making DKR failing which they would be
banning the forth coming film Gundello Godari, which has been produced
by his daughter Manchu Lakhsmi. The observers said that they found it
illogical to link Denikaina Ready with Gundello Godari. While the first
one was a pure entertainer, the second movie
was said to be a good message oriented film, which was more or less
like an art movie. What these associations would achieve by banning
classic movies is the question doing round on the internet.
It may be noted that DKR was released on Dasara and received thumbs
up from film critics. However, a few days after the release of the
movie, a few Brahmin associations took on the movie alleging that the
content of the picture had been derogatory for them. Anyway, lets wait
and watch whether Mohanbabu would tender an apology or not.
With
Nagarjuna's Damarukam postponing yet another time, the fans of Akkineni
Nagarjuna and those who purchased the tickets to watch the movie today
started attacking the theatres across the state the moment they got to
know about the news. It is known that this is the third time that
Damarukam movie got postponed and twice the money was reportedly
refunded. Although Damarukam created much hype with its posters and
trailers much before the release and looking at the current situation,
critics are stating that movie might not be played well since it irked
the audience to the core that they started attacking theatres.
The critics even said that even in case a confirmed
date will be announced by Damarukam, none would believe it and theatres
too will not take a risk of opening bookings for that movie for at
least for the first day. That way Damarukam will lose good amount of
money, they added. Team Damarukam should have not played with people.
Anyway, Nagarjuna tendered his apologies to the public over the delay in
release of the movie. Will anyone file a public interest litigation
(PIL) against Damarukam film unit for playing with people has become a topic of the town.
Neelakanta’s upcoming film Chammak Challo is going to be his first experiment with romance. So far, he has made off beat and slightly different films like Show, Mr Medhavi and Virodhi and now he’s dabbling with a conventional romantic entertainer. The film has a tagline ‘Love Lo Logic Ledu’. Varun Sandesh, Sanchita Padukone and Catherine Teresa are playing the lead roles in this film. Vennela Kishore, Srinivas Avasarala and Chinmayi Ghatrazu are playing important supporting roles and Brahmaji will be seen as Varun Sandesh’s father. The film’s audio is going to be launched on November 10 at Ravi Narayana Reddy Auditorium. Kiran Varanasi has scored the music and Ranganath Gogineni has cranked the camera. The film will hit the screens soon.
Richa Gangopadhyay was in for a big shock recently after rumours began doing the rounds about her marriage. Several gossip sites have been writing about her alleged relationship with photographer Sunder Ramu for quite sometime now; however, the actress categorically denied all rumours about her relationship with Sunder Ramu. A leading newspaper has quoted her saying that they are just good friends and that she has no plans to get married anytime soon.
Meanwhile, Richa recently wrapped up shooting her part in Thenkasi for Prabhas’ upcoming film Mirchi. She’ll soon start shooting for Nagarjuna’s next film titled Bhai. Apart from these two films, Richa is also part of Ravi Teja’s next film titled Sir Vacharu. From opting out of Allu Arjun starrer Iddarammayilatho to refuting rumours about her marriage, Richa Gangopadhyay has had a hectic week already.
Social networking is the in-thing in today’s times and many are using it
in different ways to get what they want. With girls becoming more
independent and bold in their lifestyle, they are getting the maximum
advantage. Reports are arriving of a new trend being observed among
college girls.
It is heard that those girls who are passing out of colleges have discovered a new way of getting jobs. They are going to the famous social networking site Facebook and tracking which company CEOs are there. Some are targeting the HR managers of different companies and making friends with them.
They are approaching them directly and ‘entertaining’ them in the way they wish and getting jobs. Of course, not all girls are doing this but some girls are reportedly not hesitating to go to any extent to get a job. In this process, few fakes are projecting themselves as HR guys and taking advantage of few girls in the name of jobs.

Reports have that Nayantara's complete romantic scenes are said to be chopped by Censor Board for overdose of glamour. In some scenes, director tried to bring out romance by using double meaning dialogues and they are also axed. Cleavage scenes, naval displays and waist shows in songs are asked to either blur down or completely remove them. Without them, can Nayantara jump into elite bandwagon of super sexy starlets like Tamanna, Samantha and Kajal is a big question. Censor Board is said to be completely strict with this picture after looking at the recent issues of Rambabu and Denikaina Ready.
On the other hand, fights in KVJ are asked to reduce their intensity by 50%, which is another ridiculous idea given by Board. With all these conservative rules in place, can Rana-Nayan's latest offering stand commercially strong is something we have to wait and see.
It is not a secret that Bhumika Chawla husband Bharath Thakur is Yoga guru for Anushka. But not many know that he also controls her properties in Hyderabad.
Anushka is among those actresses who get paid about Rs.1 Cr per film. The lanky actress has reportedly left it to Bharath’s responsibility to collect her remuneration of film she acts and maintain them. It’s also heard that even Anushka’s personal expenses also will be settled by Bharath’s office.
It is reported that Bharath is not just collecting the remuneration, but investing them in real estate in the actress’ name.
Bhumika is not in her prime and Bharath Thakur incurred huge losses in production house and Cine Magazine. Should we say Bharath is acting as a manger to his student Anushka? Who knows !!!
Hyderabad,
Nov 9: Noted film poet Jonnavithula Ramalingeswara Rao has received
threatening calls for criticizing Manchu Vishnu's Denikaina Ready.
Participating
in a TV discussion on Thursday, Jonnavithula has said it was atrocious
that Hinduism and Brahminism was degraded in the film.
He
said it was wrong to think that humour could be created by demeaning a
Brahminism and Hinduism. He said in a scene where a Brahmin performs
Chandi Yaga in Nepal, his wife keeps telling every male that he was like
her husband. He said that scene has shown Brahmin women in a very bad
light. He has demanded that such scenes should be removed.
Soon
after that discussion was telecast, some callers told Jonnavithula that
they would come to his house and break his head. Jonnavithula has said
that the callers had abused him in unprintable language for criticizing
Mohan Babu, though he had criticized only the film and not any
individual.
Responding to the complaint, noted actor
Shiva Krishna has said that it was unfortunate that Jonnavithula was
threatened for voicing his opinion on the film. He said there were never
such incidents in the past and said such trends need to be checked.
Meanwhile,
Brahmin youth leader Dronamraju Ravi Kumar has condemned the threats on
Jonnavithulaand said the entire Brahmin community was with the writer.
He said Brahmins who generally do not get into controversies, could turn
into Parasuramas when the need be. He said, Brahmins were also
"Denikaina Ready".
Santiago, Chile, Nov 9: A video advertisement meant to create awareness on breast cancer has created furore in Chile as it focused on cleavage of young women as they work, exercise, breastfeed -and even during sex. The campaign urges men to encourage female friends and relatives to have their breasts examined frequently to prevent breast cancer. However, anti-breast cancer groups refused to support video claiming it 'objectifies women'. The groups criticized the video stating that women were treated in the video as sex objects.' The campaign, called 'For the love of t**s', is meant to persuade men to encourage their wives and girlfriends to have their breasts examined. Critics in Chile say the footage, which includes a couple apparently having sex and a mother breastfeeding a baby -objectifies women. The 45-second video has been viewed by 409,000 people online. It features women in the office, at home, in a swimming pool, the shower and even the bedroom. And it ends with the written message: 'If we like them so much, we should look after them. Encourage a woman to have a breast examination.' Gonzalo Baeza, creative director with the agency responsible for the video, Lowe PORTA, said: 'The aim of the ad is to get men to encourage their wives, friends and relatives to examine their breasts.' But Ana Cox, from the anti-breast cancer organisation 'Yo mujer' (I woman), said they refused to be linked to the campaign.Women were filmed doing every day activities, such as a playing with a pet dog, taking a shower, swimming, and even having sex. Ms Cox said the advertising agency offered to put Yo Mujer's logo on the ad but that 'after studying it we didn't accept, because it was using the woman like an object. 'Personally I think anything that encourages women to examine their breasts is good, but we couldn't go with that idea.'Initially the advert was reported to have been funded by Chile's ministry of health. But the ministry denied any link to the campaign after controversy arose.
Model-turned-actress Poonam Pandey is now most happening name in Bollywood world
too since the shooting of her first film, Nasha has begun. And guess
what the first scene of Poonam Pandey? Well, it's an obvious question
for sure. Her first scene in the first movie was a bedroom scene. Poonam
Pandey wanted to tell this to her tweet pals and therefore she revealed
her 'muhurat shot'. No wonder her tweet was more or less controversial.
She said she so far heard that one needs to get into bed to get a role
in the movies (she was hinting at casting couch) and she shot into bed
for my muhurat shot for her debut film. Well, it looks like there's an
underlined meaning in the second part of her sentence.

village to village and tell people how the Congress party has cheated
the people of Telangana.

two-day brainstorming session of the party here on Thursday, KCR said

Sakala Janula Samme and assured to solve the Telangana problem, he said
though he has kept his end of the promise, the government had not kept
its end. Stating that the Congress leaders had asked him to merge his
party in Congress in return for Telangana, he said he has accepted to
even that after consulting all his colleagues.
He said he
told the Congress leadership that he was ready to merge his party if
Telangana with 10 districts and Hyderabad was conceded. He has lamented
that the Congress party had still not come forward to concede Telangana.

would only be ‘death lines’. He has appealed to the students not to lay
down their lives for Telangana. He said it would now be their aim to
achieving Telangana and reconstructing it. He has warned that the
Congress rulers would see 'Narasimha avataram' in KCR from tomorrow.

liberal aid to the farmers who lost everything in the floods, provision
of quality power to domestic consumers, 7 hour power supply to farmers
and 12 subsidized gas cylinders. He has also demanded release of Rs. 150
cr. for the Kakatiya festival from the state Government.

action-comedy "Kandireega", wants to recreate the same success with his
new film, which is yet to be titled.
Santosh Srinivas, who directed "Kandireega", will helm the new project.
"I'm
working with the director again because I'm sure we will make the film
as successful as 'Kandireega'. The success of the last film persuaded me
not to change the lead cast of the new film," Suresh told.
While Ram and Sonu Sood will be seen again in the cast, Shruti Haasan has been roped in to play the leading lady.
Dharmavarapu Subramanyam, Brahmanandam Kanneganti, Raghu Babu and Sayaji Shinde will also feature in the cast.

Tempting
Delhi Damsel Tapsee who mesmerized all with her beauty in 'Jhummandi
Naadam' never looked back and she is getting offers from film makers
irrespective of the result of her earlier film. Tapsee who is currently
romancing Gopichand, Venkatesh, Allu Arjun says "I never entered film
industry thinking that what ever I touch will turn into gold mine. I
have some understanding about the industry and so was prepared for
failures also. Ultimately the same thing happened".
When
asked how was her journey in Tollywood , Tapsee speaking about succeed
tracks, says "I am trying to make use of all offers whether it is small
or big irrespective of the duration of the role. Even if I feature in a
good film for 5 minutes, I am OK with it".
Recollecting
her first compliment Tapsee says "I received a memorable compliment in
my first film when great director Raghavendra Rao praised saying I am
one of the beautiful actresses to have starred in his films. Even after I
achieve glory, his compliment will be precious in my heart"
Texas, Nov 8: The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation has strongly condemned scenes and dialogues in the film 'Denikaina Ready.
GHHF
said in a statement released in Texas that the portrayal of Brahmin
community is demeaning, belittling, mocking and contemptuous. Further
the movie ridiculed the Hindu customs and rituals, glorified the
deception, elevated the dishonesty, promoted the vulgarity, encouraged
fraudulency, and attacked the very fabric of Hindu morals and ethics.
The film makers showed no respect for the aesthetic values, the
sentiments of the community, human decency, honesty, and Hindu rituals,
said the statement.
GHHF demanded the government, Central
Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and the movie producers, directors
and actors to withdraw the movie immediately until further
re-certification. "We support the efforts of various organizations
demanding the withdrawal of the movie from showing and also to file
criminal case against the producer Manchu Mohan Babu and director
G.Nageswara Reddy under Indian Penal Code. We also demand the
government to conduct a thorough investigation of the incident where the
Brahmin priests and Brahmin community members who were demonstrating
peacefully in front of Mohan Babu’s residence were beaten by sticks,
live in front of police, public and TV media and bring justice by
punishing the culprits who roughed up the priests", the press release
said.
The GHHF explained why it was demanding withdrawal
of the movie. It said following are some of the examples that are
considered offensive and insulting in the Telugu movie “Denikaina
Ready”:
1. Brahmin Archakas, who participated in Chandi
Homa, were shown to have eaten Haleem, which contains meat of a sheep.
The Director was clever enough to patch the instance at a later scene in
the movie by casually mentioning that it was not Haleem, but vegetarian
kheer. Was this necessary?
2. A young Brahmin priest is
often called by the Hero as Pilakaleni Pilla Pantulu or Pilakaleni Pilla
Sastry (meaning a priest without his Shikha, which has a very deep
spiritual meaning, obviously not known to the ignorant and arrogant
producer, director and the actors of the movie), which is quite
offensive and disgusting to the entire Priest community.
3.
One of the young Brahmin priests who is invited to perform Chandi Homa
is projected as being behind a young Muslim neighbor girl using
unnecessary romantic language which is totally unrelated to the flow of
the movie and depicts CHEAP comedy.
4. Actor Brahmanandam
in the movie repeatedly mentions that “You Brahmins will do what ever it
takes, if you are given Sambhavana” which portrays Brahmins as beggars
and dependent on people’s alms.
5. One of the Brahmin
priest’s wife is shown to be a very loose lady, who is always on the
lookout for men visiting her home, trying to get them involved in
sensual talk. This is simply demeaning for any Hindu lady leave alone a
Brahmin lady.
6. In one other scene, the Brahmin priest’s
wife is shown to be accepting an inter-caste marriage for her son with
the girl of Naidu caste, not because of the love for her son, but
mentioning “Money is everything” since the girl is from a rich family.
This truly pulls down the morale of all families; let aside Brahmins
projecting all is acceptable if money is thrown.
7. Worse
of all, a Muslim whose name is Suleiman, who is the Hero of the movie
(real life name: Manchu Vishnu) acts as a Brahmin priest, will be
singing a movie song instead of Holy Mantras, totally demeaning the Homa
and Yagna rituals in Hinduism.
8. In one other instance
all the Brahmin Archakas who would be performing the Chandi Homa, simply
stop chanting the mantras twice, because they are shown to be greedy of
Rs. 2000 offered by the heroine. Any veda mantra or vedic chanting is
not supposed to be stopped from the beginning to the end unless
prescribed so. What was the director trying to show by projecting this
cheap comedy?
The international organization has demanded
that case must be filed against the Central Board of Film Certification
for it’s total failure to enforce it’s own guidelines. It also said that
it is astonishing to find about the laxity shown on the part of CBFC in
granting Certification, ignoring it’s own guidelines and besmearing the
high standards that are supposed to represent the best of the society.

hails from Kurnool district. Ramarao surrendered in front of the CCS
police on Thursday afternoon, and stated that the money belonged to
him. Rama Rao is the trust chairman of Bala Sai Baba, a Kurnool-based
lookalike of Satya Sai Baba. There are several allegations including
land grabbing against the Baba in the media.

Income Tax officials for further inquiry.
Joshi said that

money.
The Police has also identified that Ramaro was residing at Domalguda area and was also chairman of Bala Sai Baba Trust.
According

money. Ramarao also said that the land deal was finalized with one
advocate Ansari and he had come to the City on Wednesday.

Co-passengers swung into action to pin him down when Shaikh tried to enter the cockpit.
The passenger was handed over to CISF at around 6.13 pm. Police have lodged a case of criminal intimidation, assault and threatening the crew against Shaikh and he will be produced in Dwarka court in Delhi Today.
Ace comedian Brahmanandam on Thursday apologized to the Brahmin
community regarding the objectionable content in the recently released
film Deniakaina Ready.
"I am apologizing if my role had hurt any individual or the community. In the recent past, I have deliberately cut down playing such roles," said Brahmi to Brahmin Sangham leaders who appealed him not to be part of the films which degrade their community.
In a major setback to Mohan Babu, the committee appointed by state government to review the film has declared that there are few objectionable scenes in the film. "We have seen the film and discussed thoroughly about the objectionable dialogues, scenes and song sequences in it. A report will be submitted to the government on Sunday," says a committee member.
Brahmin community heads had demanded a ban on the film for allegedly hurting the religious sentiments. Seems like, the controversy may come to an end now with few cuts based on committee's report.

Big Boss 6
is the most happening show in India. That's what at least most of the
Indians outside India believe. And for that matter what they feel is
presumably true. It's actually no exaggeration to maintain that Big Boss
took a new turn with the entry of a porn star
Sunny Leone in its previous season. And you all know what happened
next, the way Sunny was offered movie by Bhatts and how she rose to a
full time mainstream actor from a porn star.
It looks
like this parampara is likely to go on in Big Boss as rumours are rife
on another porn star's entry into Big Boss. The buzz is that Indian
origin porn star Priya Rai is most likely to enter Big Boss house in the
next episode.
Anyway, lets keep the fingers crossed to know whether this Priya will
also be invited into mainstream cinema. If yes, then porn stars in
foreign countries will have all reasons to smile.
Movie : LUCKY
Rating: 2.5/5
Cast : Srikanth, Meghana, Roja, Brahmanandam and others
Directed by : Hari
Produced by : Rajeshwari
Banner : Raja Rajeswari Pictures
Music : Sai Karthik
Release Date : 2012-11-01
What is it about?
Lakshmi Narasimha who is fondly known as Lucky (Srikanth) is a unhappy man who is not satisfied with his job or his family. He hates women as most of the women in his life only torture him. He gets a special power of knowing what women think and then his perspective changes.
Performances:
Srikanth simply sleep walked through the role. He is believable as a man in mid thirties despite being older. His performance in the scene where he compares women to wifi network is hilarious. Meghana has nothing much to do except for looking admiringly at Srikanth. There are few popular actors in the support cast. Roja is alright as the strict lady boss.
Brahmanandam has been wasted. AVS is fine. Tagubothu Ramesh and others didn't have sizeable roles to make an impact. Sana didn't look like Srikanth's mother and it has been confessed by Srikanth himself.
On the Technical Front:
Dialogues are not up to the mark. This film is intended to be funny most of the times. But poor writing didn't help the cause. Cinematography is strictly okay. The methods that are implemented are mostly outdated. Music is mediocre. Sai Karthik didn't compose a single impressive tune. Director Hari failed in the writing department itself. He could have made this a laugh riot. Despite having good concept on hands, he failed to translate it into a decent film.
Analysis:
Lucky is a blatant copy of 2000 Hollywood romantic comedy 'What Women Want'. The main plot has been lifted from that film and director added few commercial elements to suit our tastes. However, he has failed miserably with pretty bad writing.
Except for few scenes which are genuinely hilarious, Lucky is a badly made movie. First half is fine with few good laughs, but second half mostly runs on dramatic mode. Terrorism angle given to the film was an utter failure. Those scenes were so stupid that its impact might give an impression that watching Lucky is sheer waste of time.
Despite having fair chance to make this a good entertainer, director couldn't make use of talented star cast. Saying so, Lucky is far better than Srikanth's films like Ranga the Donga etc. Poor openings suggest that Lucky may not be so lucky on the commercial front. You may wait for the home edition if you are planning to watch it.
Verdict: Phew, Srikanth's Bad Luck still haunts!
Film writes who always on the hunt for new subjects found one in ‘wife swapping’. Here the protagonists swap their wives not for sexual pleasure, but for the love.
As per the ‘novel’ script, Aarya is deeply in love with a girl while Jai and Nayanthara are inseparable lovers. In a weird turn of events, Jai marries the girl who was earlier in love with Aarya and Arya marries Nayanthara. Both the couples live as ‘married couples’ for the sake of the society but there is hardly any physical intimacy between the quartets. Jai and Aarya meet up and discuss the pathetic plight of their respective lives and decide to ‘swap’ their wives leading to a happy climax.
A R Murugadoss is producing this Rom-Com movie titled ‘Raja Rani’.
Observers say that Nayan who is already facing ire of woman organisations for breaking the marriage of Prabhu Deva will sure land in trouble for acting in ‘wife-swapping’ script!!!
Puri Jagan's latest outing with stylish hero Allu Arjun, 'Iddaru Ammayilatho' is making quite a noise regarding its heroine selection. Wide eyed Amala Paul is confirmed as lead girl long back, but the question is about the second fiddle girl. Strikingly bold Richa Gangopadhyay is the first option, who was later replaced by sensuous Taapsee. According to latest grapevine, Nani-Krishnavamsi's 'Paisa' movie heroine Catherine Tresa has finally signed the dotted line to play this role.
Well, both Richa and Taapsee have opted to lose 3-4 projects for the sake of this flick, but finally both got hard blows. Let us hope these two pretty beauties will come up with much more exciting projects.
Hyderabad,
Nov 7: Tension prevailed in the Osmania University campus here
Wednesday after students clashed with police during the funeral
procession of a youth who committed suicide for a separate Telangana
state.
Violence broke out in Tarnaka near the campus as
students, who wanted to carry the body in a procession to Gun Park near
the state assembly, clashed with the police.
As they were
prevented from taking out a procession, the students threw stones at
police personnel, who retaliated by firing teargas shells.
Police
also resorted to baton charge near English and Foreign Languages
University (EFLU) and a B.Ed. college on the campus to disperse the
protesting students.
Amid tight security, the police later
shifted the body of V. Santosh to an ambulance and sent it to his
native village in Adilabad district, around 300 km from here.
Frustrated over the delay in the formation of a separate Telangana state, Santosh committed suicide, leading to the tension.
Santosh,
a degree student of a college in the city, hung himself from a tree in
front of the Arts College in Osmania University, which has been
witnessing violent protests for three years over the statehood issue.
The
student resorted to the extreme step Tuesday night. He left behind a
suicide note, blaming "ruling classes" for creating hurdles in the
formation of a Telangana state.
Telangana Joint Action
Committee (JAC) convener M. Kodandaram visited the campus to pay
tributes to Santosh and appealed to the students not to sacrifice their
lives.
Osmania University students' Joint Action committee called for a shutdown of all educational institutions in Telangana.
The university postponed all examinations scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday.
Over 600 people, mostly youth, have committed suicide in the last three years demanding a separate Telangana state.
Washington,
Nov 7: Indian Americans have welcomed the re-election of President
Barack Obama saying his administration has delivered and victory is good
for the community and India both.
"Obama's victory is
very good for the Indian American community and India," Thomas Abraham,
founder president of Global organisation of People of Indian Origin
(GOPIO) told.
"The Asian American community, and in
particular Indian Americans, has a high presence in his administration
as political appointees and this trend will continue," he said.
"When
Obama went to India, he gave a surprise by endorsing India as a
permanent member of the UN Security Council," Abraham said.
"So
the Democratic administration has delivered and we will see increasing
cooperation in defence, science and technology, trade and fighting
terrorism," he added.
Welcoming Obama's re-election,
Milpitas, California, based North American Punjabi Association (NAPA)
said the Punjabi community is celebrating his victory because of his
several initiatives including the Dream Act for the immigrant children
and Obama healthcare law.
On top of this "Obama rose above
politics and felt concerned, taking appreciable steps to garner sense
of safety and security amongst community members" when six Sikh
worshippers were killed in a shootout at Oak Creek Gurdwara in Wisconsin
in August, said association's president Satnam Singh Chahal.
New
York's noted Indian-American attorney Ravi Batra said, "Barack Obama
proved that the hard road is the sure road for resuscitating the
American Dream."
Republican challenger "Mitt Romney forced
Barack Obama to be at his best so that American exceptionalism
continues to provide solace and support for all who love freedom and
want a better tomorrow for their kids the world over," he said.
In a rather ghastly incident, a couple of software engineers from
Hyderabad city, who are working as call-boys (male prostitutes) are
caught in a popular Telugu channel's sting operation.
After losing morale and a penchant to earn easy money, some Software engineers from the Hitech-City are taking up this route. It is revealed that rich married woman whose husbands stay away somewhere in the other part of the world are buying these boys for nights by shedding huge money. The call-boy den owners are running a website with information about all the available boys, and payments are accepted only through credit cards. As the call-boys are software engineers, they have easily created this hi-tech setup very easily to earn easy money.
'While politicians
are doing prostitution with democracy, and raping our system, why should
we worry about these innocent male prostitutes?' asks popular writer
Posani Krishnamurali. But he finally condemned the acts of call-boys.

Kangna Ranaut was a dazzling sight at the Blenders Pride Fashion Tour 2012, held at the Hotel Grand Hyatt in Mumbai, when she walked the ramp for designer Gavin Miguel.Kangna was little nervous but showed didn't miss to show her oomph and sexiness on ramp.
The Fashion girl worea white maxi gown.The added glamour element to the ensemble was the cut of the dress: the low neckline and ripped below the thigh was so provacatiing.
But perhaps she showed off more skin than she intended to. Wardrobe malfunction or not, looking Kangna was a eye feast to many at the event. What about You?
Ever since curvaceous Arabian horse Anushka Shetty debuted as super hot seductress in Nagarjuna's 'Super', this pair started teasing youths of Tollywood. Though they got only a couple of instances to sizzle, this time their on-screen magic is turning more lights on. With producer RR Makers' Venkat confirming that 'Damarukam' is going to hit theatres at any cost, expectations are on a rise about Anushka's sizzling quotient in the flick. A talk is doing rounds that our Sweety has shown her oomph factor again in this flick. It is heard that there is a lip kiss in this flick between Nag and Anushka and that takes place below the sea. This underwater song is going to be a part of a song but not any particular scene. However insiders stated that there is a small peck on the lips but not a French style kissing session. Let us wait and see about the this most speculated lip-kiss of Tollywood between a never-ageing romantic hero and a teasing beauty.
For the U.S presidential election campaign the incumbent president Obama
and Challenger Romney are shooting "mouth cannon balls" to each other
or in a more appropriate metaphor as if two F-22 Raptors are engaging
on a dogfight each determined to find the “Achilles heel” of the
another to fire the lethal shot just right there . On the topic of
unemployment which is the real burning issue , here is what they have to
say:
Mitt Romney : "I want to make small businesses grow
and thrive. I know how to make that happen. I spent my life in the
private sector. I know why jobs come and why they go. And they're going
now because of the policies of this administration."
"The
president has tried, but his policies haven't worked. He's great as a
speaker and at describing his plans and his vision. That's wonderful,
except we have a record to look at and that record shows that he just
hasn't been able
to cut the deficit, to put in place reforms for Medicare and Social
Security to preserve them, to get us the rising incomes we need."
"I care
about 100 percent of the American people and I want 100 percent of the
American people to have a bright prosperous future."
"We don't have to settle for gasoline at $4, we don't have to settle for unemployment at a chronically high level, we don't have to settle for 47 million people on food stamps."
"We have fewer people working today than we had when the president took office... We have not made the progress we need to make to put people back to work."
"We don't have to settle for gasoline at $4, we don't have to settle for unemployment at a chronically high level, we don't have to settle for 47 million people on food stamps."
"We have fewer people working today than we had when the president took office... We have not made the progress we need to make to put people back to work."
But, even though President Obama is a winner of Nobel peace prize, it doesn't mean that he can't fire back. As predicted he did well by saying as follows:
"I believe that the free enterprise system is the greatest engine
of prosperity that the world's ever known, I believe in
self-reliance... But I also believe that everybody should have a fair
shot."
"I believe Governor
Romney is a good man, loves his family, cares about his faith. But I
also believe that what he said behind closed doors, that 47 percent of
the country considered themselves victims, who refuse personal
responsibility? ... I want to fight for them."
"Governor Romney says he's got a
five-point plan. Governor Romney doesn't have a five-point plan, he has a
one-point plan. And that plan is to make sure that folks at the top
play by a different set of rules. That's been his philosophy in the
private sector, that's been his philosophy as a governor and that's been
his philosophy as a presidential candidate."
"(When I took office,) the economy was
on the verge of collapse because we were about to go through the worst
recession since the Great Depression, as a consequence of some of the
same policies that Governor Romney now promotes. So it's conceivable
that Governor Romney could bring down the gas prices, because with his
policies we might be back in that same mess."
After delivering some good movies, this director turned a 'budget' master and became the man with an iron touch. He is none other than Gunasekhar, the man behind superhit 'Okkadu' and superflop 'Nippu'. Reportedly Gunasekhar is going to reveal about curvaceous Arabian beauty Anushka tomorrow. From quite a time, there is a huge buzz that this director got a producer now to make another big budget extravaganza. This will be the story of Rani Rudrama Devi of the Kakatiya Dynasty. It is much hyped that Anushka will be playing the lead role in this flick as she has already done such a role in 'Arundhati'. Wait till tomorrow to know what exactly Gunasekahr will reveal about the in and out of Ansuhka. On the other hand, Anushka is going to prove her hotness again with 'Damarukam', says RR Movies Venkat who stressed that the film is hitting screens on November 9th at any cost.
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.

Actress and noted anchor is now being linked to a film director after she was found with him alone in a car in a lonely spot.
According
to a report by a popular news channel, Poola Rangadu film director
Veera Bhadram and Udaya Bhanu have gone for a long drive on the outer
ring road. But they got stuck because of a flat tyre and
Veerabhadram
started waving hands for a lift. When a film unit luckily came that way
and stopped to help the director, they found to their astonishment,
Udaya Bhanu lurching in the car. They gave lift to both.
This news soon spread in the film circles and became a hot topic.
Veera Bhadram is presently busy with the script work of Nagarjuna’s ‘Bhai’
Hyderabad,
Nov 5: The police have registered a criminal case against
actor-producer Manchu Mohan Babu and his son hero of the film “
Denikaina Ready” film, which ran into trouble with the Brahmin community
launching a protest demanding banning of the film.
Based
on directive from the Malkajgiri Court, which was moved by the Brahmins,
the police registered cases under Sections 120-B, 153-A and 295-A and
298 IPC against Mohan Babu, Manchu Vishnu, comedian Brahmanandam and
film director Nageshwar Reddy and commenced investigations.
Earlier
this morning, a delegation of Brahmins, who had formed a Joint Action
Committee, met Home Minister P. Sabita Indra Reddy and demanded
immediate banning of the movie, which has not only hurt the religious
sentiments of the community, but also belittled them with various scenes
and dialogues.
It might be mentioned here that the film
had been running rough weather from the very beginning. First it
encountered problem from the Censor Board and after the hurdle was
overcome after making necessary changes, the film ran into trouble from
the day it was released.
Members of the Brahmin community
taking objection to the alleged derogatory dialogues and scenes raided
the residence of Mohan Babu in Jubilee Hills. In the fracas, some
furniture and glass panes were damaged. The screening of the film was
also met with stiff resistance at many theaters.
Even as
the controversy was raging day after day, the members of the Brahmin
Community even lodged a complaint with the State Human Rights
Commission. In an unexpected development, Mohan Babu’s son and hero of
the movie Manchu Vishnu also reached the HRC office to lodge a complaint
about the attack on his house and the damage caused.
While Vishnu was exiting after submitting his petition, he was confronted by the agitating Brahmins, including some advocates.
Slogans were raised against him and shoes were hurled at his vehicle.
Thus
as the controversy surrounding the movie has been escalating, the
members of the affected community moved the court in Malkajgiri
following which a directive was given to the police to file a case
against the producer, director, hero and comedian of the movie.
Meanwhile,
the BJP has demanded arrest of Mohan Babu and others. Party leader
Prabhakar Rao said though the court has directed the police to register
cases and arrest the accused, the government was trying to save Mohan
Babu and others. Demanding immediate ban on the film, Prabhakar has
alleged that the government was helping the producers by allowing the
screening of the film by appointing a committee to delay the process. He
said the film producers were making money while the government was
delaying ban, allowing damage to be caused to the sentiments of the
Brahmin community
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
leaders of YSR Congress YS Vikayalakshmi, the wife of Late YS Rajasekhar
Reddy, and Bharati, the wife of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy have been making
herculean efforts to get Jagan out of prison ever since the Supreme
Court has refused the bail petition they had filed earlier. Recently,
according to trustworthy sources, the mother and wife duo had tried to
secretly meet the top brass of Congress at Delhi to negotiate terms for
the release of Jagan.
According to the source both of them had left for Delhi a few days ago and were spotted on their return flight from Delhi on Friday
morning at Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Airport. It has been
understood that they had returned to the city via Bangalore.
On their return flight to Hyderabad, they had avoided confronting a central minister and a couple of state ministers as if to maintain secrecy of their journey. Many political sectors feel that they have been trying to suppress the Enforcement Directorate, ED, from releasing further evidence and notices.
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.
TDP leader K Yeeran Naidu died in a fatal road accident, which took place in the wee hours today at Ranstalam of Srikakulam. The mishap took place when the car in which he was travelling collided with a speeding
oil tanker. While others in the car sustained major injuries, including
the driver, Yerran Naidu was immediately rushed to hospital but was
declared brought dead. He was survived by a son and a daughter.
Post mortem was conducted on Yerran Naidu at RIMS hospital. His dead body
would be kept at his residence in Srikakulam for public to pay last
respects. On learning this news, TDP supremo Chandrababu Naidu was
astonished. Babu, who is in padayatra in Mahabubnagar district, is
likely to reach Srikakulam by road. Yerran Naidu was born on 23 February 1957. He was elected to Lok Sabha four times (11th, 12th, 13th and 14th Lok Sabha).
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.
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.
