Quashing rumours that he's cashing in on his success spree, hero Raj Tarun makes it clear that he hasn't earned enough money so far. In a Tete-a-Tete with Gulte, Raj Tarun talked about rumours on his fee, repeating heroines, his association with Vishnu Manchu, comparisons with Kollywood star Dhanush and much more. Read on.
Cashing in on Success?
No, not true. For me, money isn't deciding factor while signing a film. If the script is good, I'll do the film. I don't know how such come because I haven't earned enough money though I could. If the script is good, I myself run behind the director and producer and even beg them to do the film with me.
Are You Choosy?
I was choosy. I'm choosy and will be choosy as well. Script has to be impressive. I can't compromise on that.
First Failure
I won't blame anyone for the result of Seethamma Andalu Ramayya Sitralu which couldn't do well as expected. Even after watching the film before its release, I was confident that movie would work. After knowing its result, I was disappointed for sometime but quickly realized and moved on.
Why only Underdog Roles?
I prefer roles that people could relate to. If I do high-octane fights bashing up goons with single hand, no one would believe. Before every fight, I think twice whether it's necessary for me to do. Only if I feel it's realistic, I'll do. Even dances also, I don't go overboard. I know what I'm. If really good dances are needed as per the script, I'll do only what is really necessary, i.e., what script demands.
On Repeating Heroines (Avika Gor or Hebah)
No, it's not my choice. It was producer's (Anil Sunkara) decision to bring Hebah Patel on board for Edo Rakam Ado Rakam. I don't choose my heroines. In fact, even I'd like to act with new heroines but none of them are not suiting for me. (Grins).
About Vishnu Manchu
Vishnu is like big brother for me. He took care of me very well such that I didn't need to bother about anything. He has been great support. He had told director to focus more on my role. I'd not have acted in the film had he not recommended my name.
Comparisons with Dhanush
(Laughs) Me? 'Tollywood Dhanush'? Dhanush is superstar and also great actor. I'm not yet. What can I say about such comparisons or compliments. Though such compliments give good feeling, they also remind me of greater responsibility.
Favourite Heroes
Mahesh Babu is my favourite actor. Also, I love Pawan Kalyan and Allu Arjun.
Directorial Plans
Direction is definitely on the cards but not anytime sooner. I'm readying a script. But I won't act in it.
Upcoming Films
One film would be in Dil Raju's banner and one more under Maruthi's production. And the script work for Geetha Arts-UV Creations is going on.
After a shocking number of couples heading towards split in Bollywood, there seems to be another one on its way, if rumors are anything to go by.
Bollywood star actor Saif Ali Khan's sister Soha Ali Khan married her boyfriend Kunal Khemu in early 2015. Now rumors are making rounds that Soha is not ready to start a family while Kunal wants to. This happens to be the reason for minor scuffles between them and they turned to fights more recently.
Soha wants to do two films before starting a family or to become a mother of child, but Kunal is heard to be persistent on his version. His parents too were keen to see that their son and daughter in law turn parents soon.
Nobody knows if these are just rumors and cooked up stories, but if anything is real in it, this is not a problem that this matured couple cannot handle and they can manage it by themselves before giving wrong signals about their relationship.

The US government is believed to have received about 250,000 petitions for H-1B visas - the most sought after American work visas -- with a majority of them being from either Indian companies or having huge footprint in India.
The US Citizenship and Immigration Services yesterday said it has reached the Congressional mandated cap for H-1B visas in the general category and also the 20,000 for those who completed higher education from inside the US in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) subjects.
USCIS did not give the number of H-1B petitions it received since April 1, when it started accepting applications for this most coveted visa for the fiscal year 2017 beginning October 1, this year. But, it says the successful petitions would be determined by a computerised draw of lots.
"We had 230,000 H-1B visa petitions last year. I think, this year it is going to be higher. We think 250,000 H-1B petitions were filed this year," Bill Stock, incoming president of American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) and a founding partner of Klasko Immigration Law Partners told PTI in an interview.
Stock's estimates are based on his experience and interaction with lawyers and those groups who mostly file H-1B visas. This is fourth consecutive year that the Congressional mandated cap has been reached in the first five days of the filing. "Unless the economy changes again, we would continue to see it," he said.
Majority of these estimated 250,000 H-1B visa applications are "certainly" either by companies that have Indian owner like TCS or companies that have substantial operations or development centres in India like IBM, Stock said in response to a question.
The recent increase on certain category of H-1B visas, he said, "may have had a little impact" on Indian companies. "But I think their business so much depends on H-1B and being able to send people on projects, they (Indian companies) are going to pay fees on those petitions," Stock said. President of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) Victor Nieblas Pradis said the "avalanche" of petitions for H-1B visas mean that USCIS will once again randomly determine which of those petitions will actually be considered for one of the 85,000 available visas.
Each petition not selected is a business need unfulfilled and a growth opportunity that is delayed or thwarted.
"However, artificial limits established more than a generation ago are again hobbling the economic potential of this great nation," Mr Pradis said, calling for lifting this visa cap.
"Why do we continue to artificially limit this program? In a reasonable system, market demand should factor into how many business visas are granted, and indeed, demand for H-1B visas slowed when the economy took a downturn. But each year that we cap these visas when demand outweighs supply, all we're doing is creating obstacles to economic growth. We're losing out on shared prosperity for no good reason," he said in a statement.
The US is one of the most important economies in the world, but its full potential is going unrealised, he said.
"We live in a wireless world, but our visa system is a relic from the days of the dial-up modem. It's long past time for Congress to lead on this issue and reform the H-1B program in a way that addresses the needs of American businesses, US workers and our economy. Congress must bring our immigration system out of the last century and into this one," Mr Pradis said.
Uyyala Jampala fame Avika Gor popularly known as Chinnari Pellikooturu is keeping the gossip columns busy these days.
As per the buzz from Bollywood gossipers of Bollywood, Avika is currently dating television actor Manish Raisinghani, her co-star from soap opera Sasural Simar Ka.
Avika has recently turned 18 and the actor is 36 years old, means he is exactly double her age. Gossip columnists claim that they got concrete info about their affair from close circles. Avika and Manish aren’t willing to come out in open for personal reasons, they added.
Avika Gor is continuing to act in television serials even after striking gold as a heroine in Tollywood. Avika only acts on her terms and doesn’t sign up movies for those who don’t agree to her demands.
Avika who has recently debuted in Sandalwood is making her debut in Tamil cinema with GV Prakash Kumar’s Kadavul Irukaan Kumaru.
No heroine has been finalized for Nandamuri Balakrishna's 100th movie yet. The first choice is Nayanathara. But the actress is said to have told her inability to adjust dates to this movie.
So director Krish has approached several other leading women of Tollywood but none of them are showing interest.
Titled "Gauthami Putrasatakarni", the movie tells the heroic feats of the great Sathavahana ruler. Hence Nandamuri Balakrishna is excited to enact the royal king's role.
But there is reason for big heroines not coming forward to act in this film. They have to play the role of a wife to Balakrishna with little scope for glamour or duets. Moreover, she will also have two kids in the film.
So many heroines like Anjali and Tamannah have reportedly denied to do this movie. On the other hand, Anushka is busy with the shooting of "Baahubali 2". So Krish is looking for ideal female lead to act opposite Balakrishna.
The US received over 2,36,000 H-1B petitions in just five days of opening up the process earlier this month for the most sought-after work visa for IT professionals, including from India, and has completed the computerised draw of lots.
This is more than thrice the Congressionally-mandated cap of 65,000 in the general category for the work visas for highly-skilled workers in the general category for Financial Year 2017.
The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on Tuesday announced it also received more than the limit of 20,000 H-1B petitions by those foreign students who completed their higher studies from a US academic institute in subjects if science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
USCIS received over 2,36,000 H-1B petitions during the filing period, which began on April 1, including petitions filed for the advanced degree exemption, a media statement said.
It said it has completed the computerised draw of lots that would determine the successful applicants.
On April 9, USCIS used a computer-generated random selection process, or lottery, to select enough petitions to meet the 65,000 general-category cap and the 20,000 cap under the advanced degree exemption, also known as the master's cap.
The agency conducted the selection process for the advanced degree exemption first. All unselected advanced degree petitions then became part of the random selection process for the 65,000 limit, it added.
USCIS will reject and return all unselected petitions with their filing fees, unless the petition is found to be a duplicate filing, it said.
As announced on March 16, 2016, USCIS will begin premium processing for H-1B cap cases no later than May 16.
It would continue to accept and process petitions that are otherwise exempt from the cap.
H-1B visa, popular among Indian techies, is used by American companies to employ foreign workers in occupations that require highly specialised knowledge in fields such as science, engineering and computer programming. (PTI)

What does the future hold for Kapu patriarch Mudragada Padmanabham? Despite his frequent fasts and regular agitations, he appears to be losing steam. Despite Congress background and despite tacit support of YSRCP, he is ploughing a lonely furrow. His agitation without the direct support of any party could gradually weaken him and make the Kapus move away from him.
Wily Chandrababu is doing everything he can to wean away the Kapus from Mudragada. He had set up Kapu Corporation and has been offering financial assistance. He is also moving closer to giving reservations, though it is not clear when the reservations actually come. More than this, Chandrababu is also luring Kapu leaders from the YSRCP. Jyothula Nehru's re-entry into TDP would mean end of Mudragada's influence in East Godavari district.
The only option before Mudragada now is to join the YSRCP, as he is already branded as a YSRCP sympathiser. This will give him a party backing, while the YSRCP will get a boost. If he demands reservations as a YSRCP leader, it could benefit both him and the party.
Mudragada is already facing allegations that he has taken the Kapu stir to the peaks and then dumped it. How he will handle these allegations and secure his political future in the days to come will decide the future of the Kapu stir

Often, amateur enthusiasts try out various risky stunts which are being aired on several reality shows despite warnings. In some cases, these stunts turn fatal. In one such incident, a 19-year-old teenager named Mohammed Jalaluddin from Hyderabad lost his life while recreating a risky stunt he saw on a popular TV reality show.
Jalaluddin, an intermediate student and a resident of Falaknuma in Old City, wanted to enter the popular TV reality show 'India's got talent' and in the process, he was performing several risky fire stunts. He first consumed kerosene and spewed fire from his mouth, while a couple of his friends were recording his stunts on their mobile phones.
Jalaluddin and his friends then went atop a nearby hill to perform another death defying stunt. The victim poured kerosene on his T-shirt and lit it. However, Jalaluddin could not remove the T-shirt in time and sustained more than 60% burns.
In his dying declaration, Jalaluddin said that no one is responsible for the incident as he voluntarily did it to enter into the reality show.

Looks like, all is not well between heroine Hebah Patel and her co-star Raj Tarun. The personal rapport of Kumari 21F seems to has taken hit badly. When media asked Raj Tarun whether he suggested Hebah's name for the film, he shot back saying it's producers decision and told media that he'd like to act with 'new faces' thus clearly hinting he wasn't happy pairing up with Hebah in his immediate release Edo Rakam Ado Rakam.
At the same time, even Hebah too didn't mince words and apparently throwing satires on Raj Tarun off the camera. Insiders suspect that ego issues could have been the reason for the duo's tiff while the exact reasons are only known to Hebah & Raj.
If this is not enough, their dispute became evident during the film's promotional event conducted ahead of release. When the MC asked Raj Tarun to walk the ramp with both heroines Sonarika and Hebah Patel, Hebah publicly refused to join hands with Raj and conspicuously avoided him. In fact, initially, she didn't even like to stand next to Raj, but when MC repeated for second time, Hebah compellingly made herself stand next to Raj Tarun without showing any interest. This yet again proves all is definitely not well between Raj Tarun and Kumari 21F. -

Power Star Pawan Kalyan's post release interviews are the hottest topics in the twin Telugu states since yesterday. In a flood of media interviews, Pawan opened up on many facts and facets of his professional and personal lives.
In one of the interviews, Pawan was asked about his hilarious imitation of his brother Chiranjeevi's famous Veena step which became one of the highlights in Sardaar. Pawan said he just performed the step by simply standing whereas his brother pulled off a much gracious step.
Pawan went on to criticize his own dancing abilities and confessed that he is not as good a dancer like Chiranjeevi or his nephew Ram Charan or NTR. Pawan said he only knows 7, 8 variations in his dance steps and that he always tells his directors and choreographers that he won't dance to any flamboyant steps beyond his comfort levels.
Pawan also said he is extremely shy in front of camera and that he is more uneasy when it comes to dancing in foreign countries. The Power Star also revealed that he chooses secluded foreign locales for his songs so he can dance peacefully. -

Actor Navdeep and pubs have an inseparable bonding. Taking this bonding to new high, Navdeep has launched a new pub of his own in the posh location of Hyderabad-west. Called as Beats Per Minute (BPM), the pub is located near Financial district in Gachibowli.
It's learnt that the pub has very unique in its design and the Chandamama star insisted to have. From having a big DJ shack to setting up a sizzling dance floor to cushy seating and wide varieties of drinks, the pub is going to give a great experience to party-goers.
For great foodies, the pub offers large spread of starters suiting to their tastes. However, the pub doesn't have any main courses and kept it strictly for revelers. Talk is that few big names in the city are involved with this pub who have invested heavily in it.
Navdeep was in news for wrong reasons in the past. While the actor was caught in drunken driving couple of times, he was also allegedly involved in a drunken brawl earlier. Recently it was reported that cops had raided his farmhouse at Chakrampalem, Ranga Reddy district. However, Navdeep took on media and even clarified that he doesn't have any farmhouse and he had attended a house-warming party.
Now that Navdeep is into pub business, let's see how many controversies are up in his store.

Long standing argument about allowing women into few temples across the country has taken a new and liberal route when court ruled out temple policies to keep women away. The latest order from Mumbai high court will allow women in Sani Sihingnapur temple.
Reacting to the court's order, Sankaracharya Swaroopananda Saraswathi warns of dire consequences like more and more women get raped in this country and allowing them into temples is the biggest mistake ever. He left similar warnings earlier about allowing women into temples.
Court however ruled the gender based discrimination out, as it is against constitution. The court judgement finally is making the authorities to allow women into the temple.

Beyond expectations… just exceptional… ripped apart… any adverbs aren’t sufficient to describe Allu Arjun’s action intensity and Boyapati Srinu’s mass pulse in the just released ‘Sarrainodu’ theatrical trailer. Without giving any glimpse on overall storyline, this trailer has flatly focused on a wide range of stunts skillfully composed. Color texture is also blazing adding more to the killer punch in Bunny’s action. Generally, Allu Arjun films are branded for having high intensity dances but this is ardently a ferocious show.
‘Sarrainodu’ trailer is having Allu Arjun in various costumes ranging from military dress code to those piercing out six packs. ‘Yedutoditho Pettukovalante Kaavalasindi Brand Kaadu, Dammu… Ikkada Tannulu Tannulundi… Choosthaavaa’ and ‘Anytime, Anywhere, Anybody… Nenu Ready;’ the two dialogues outline the hero’s characterization.
Boyapati Srinu is stamped for rigorous action blocks. ‘Sarrainodu’ trailer has set the presumptions sky high. Allu Arjun’s painstaking effort and Boyapati’s ultra-careful approach in designing each frame has kept the trailer visually gripping. Definitely, ‘Sardaar’ new trailer is best in recent times. Aadi Pinisetty, Supreet, Srikanth, Shravan, Rakul, Catherine, Jayaprakash added more to fill the screen.
Sarainodu to Follow Sardaar strategy
Allu Arjun’s ‘Sarainodu’ is getting ready to hit the screens in the third week of this month. The movie is being produced by Geetha Arts and the production house is known for adopting clever release strategies.
They are now going to adopt the same strategy that was used by the team of Sardaar Gabbar Singh. Geetha Arts is planning to allow lots of benefit show screenings across the Telugu states, by working with their distributors and exhibitors.
A huge number of benefit shows and a wide release will ensure terrific numbers for the movie on Day 1, irrespective of the public feedback. The movie is a mass entertainer and with the summer holidays in full swing, the team is hoping for some strong numbers.
The movie has been directed by Boyapati Sreenu and Thaman has composed the music.

According to the reports, thousands of devotees thronged the temple this morning to witness the grand fireworks which were going on since midnight. The temple authorities reportedly ignored police warnings of not to carry out the fireworks since the temple area is prone to fire mishaps.
The catastrophe occurred when sparks fell on the 'Kambapura' storeroom and exploded with a deafening noise. The entire temple precincts were engulfed in darkness as the power supply went off and people ran helter skelter, leading to a major stampede. Doctors say that a majority of the injured must undergo limb amputation.
Prime minister Narendra Modi described the tragedy as heart-rending and shocking and announced an ex-gratia of 2 lakhs each to the dead and 50,000 to the injured. Modi will be visiting the temple premises and the victims' families at hospitals in a short while -
