Meera Jasmine to marry Mandolin Rajesh
For the first time that actress Meera Jasmine has confirmed her love affair to the media. She agreed that she is in love with Mandolin artiste Rajesh. In fact, prior to her conf He came out openly about this affair in her recent press meet saying that they would marry soon.
"Rajesh is a renowned artiste. It is God's gift indeed to have such a companion", she said.
In the past, Meera Jasmine was linked with many heroes and directors. But she looked happy to announce this. It seems they are going to get married this year
Unpardonable act: Mohan Babu condemns
Congress leaders, political personalities and filmmakers rushed to Rajashekar's residence and expressed solidarity to him. Mohan Babu too called on and stood by him. He condemned the attack on Rajashekar and termed it as ghastly incident. "Neechati Neechamaina act. It’s unpardonable. Rajashekar and Jeevitha are dear to me. Rajashekar never did harm to anyone. It’s democracy and everyone has a right to express his opinions. Violence attacks should be condemned," Mohan Babu said. He refused to talk about Chiranjeevi's political entry.
When asked why anti-Chiranjeevi camp is rushing to Rajashekar's residence, he said he came as a co-artiste and has no hidden interest.
Rajashekar gets support from everyone
Rajashekar gets support and sympathy from unexpected quarters. He became real hero. Everyone from political parties to film industry, have come in to support him. Rajashekar who is going through rough patch in his career suddenly gets strength.
His wife Jeevitha also stole the limelight during the discussions at media and TV channel shows. She shut the mouths of political weights like Hari Rama Jogaiah when he supported Chiru fans.
Why Rajashekar and Chiru have enemity?
The latest attack on Rajashekar by Chiranjeevi's fans (or allegedly) further proves that the groups within the industry are deeper than they appear. Rajashekar who is known for angry young man roles in Tollywood with films like Magadu, Anuksham, etc, feels that he was cheated by Chiranjeevi. According to him, Chiranjeevi stole the remake rights of Tamil film, Ramana, right under nose from Rajashekar. "I bought the rights from the original producer and handed over him some advance. But Chiranjeevi camp met the producer without my knowledge and grabbed it. There are several instances," he accuses. That Ramana remade with Chiranjeevi as Tagore that brought Chiru the image of a star with social conscience. Not only Rajashekar and Mohan Babu, there are many other stars or actors who oppose Chiru. Megastar Chiranjeevi on other hand has been trying to mingle with all the heroes. |

Will Megastar care for these people?
Media wants some attractive and catchy news and when ever media finds this couple Srija & Sirish, the media people are in hurry to get some thing out of this couple.
The couple visited Tirumala recently and Media people asked to react about Megastar’s political entry, then Sirish has given a lengthy lecture as ‘ Any one can enter politics in this country but Megastar should come out with clear agenda and he should say his stand on Telangana’.
This was the reply of Sirish- really Megastar need opinion of such people. If Sirish really wanted to maintain politeness and diplomacy- he should avoided answering the question.
And at the same time, Srija said ‘We (Srija & her father) have not discussed politics in the recent times’.
Megastar is not showing any interest to speak this couple- where is the question of discussion?
Prabhas, NTRjr and Siddhu to campaign for Congress Party?
Hyderabad: The Congress government is planning to sweeten its massive pre-election publicity blitzkrieg with hit Telugu films. Specially modified vehicles will tour all the 294 Assembly constituencies in the state and screen Tollywood hits to attract people. In between, they will be persuaded to see short films on various achievements of the Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy government in the last three-and- a-half years.
The campaign, named Integrated Mobile Publicity in Assembly Constituencies (IMPACT), is estimated to cost Rs 100 crore and is likely to be launched on February 1. Sources told this correspondent that the government had purchased the rights of 20 Telugu blockbusters by spending Rs 50 crore to “retain the audience” in rural areas. They include Varsham starring Prabhas,Bommarillu with Siddharth and Simhadri in which Jr NTR plays the main role.
Interestingly, the Congress publicity managers have decided not to screen films starring N.T. Rama Rao and Chiranjeevi though they are very popular among people. They believe that NTR films may end up benefiting the Telugu Desam while Chiranjeevi hits might provide more mileage for the superstar who is planning to enter politics.
The short films will focus on general achievements and success stories relating to the particular area where the screening is being held. Two private firms have been chosen to take out the publicity campaign in the run-up to the 2009 elections. Sources said the campaign will be taken out in two phases. In the first phase, costing Rs 34 crore (apart from Rs 50 crore for the films), 147 Assembly constituencies will be covered.
Each vehicle will cover 100 villages in 50 days and conduct two screenings per day. They will publicise the Congress government’s flagship programmes and schemes including free power, Jalayagnam, Indiramma, Paavala Vaddi, NREGS, land distribution, Indira Prabha, Rajeev Udyoga Shree and Arogya Sri.

Raviteja's Krishna Review*
Okka Magadu trimmed for 20 mins*
YVS is putting brave face despite barrage of criticism for his dud - Okka Magadu. He still believes that the film will win the hearts of the audiences. He defends the film with an argument that common man comes to see the movie without any pre-occupied mind unlike critics and fans.
On other hand, the film is liberally 'edited' by the theatre owners across the state. YVS has also trimmed the film. He has now cut out two songs and some unimportant scenes that have running time of close to 20 mins.

Today happens to be N T R's 12 Death Anniversary, in order to give respect to him and recognize his services he must be rewarded with Bharath Ratna. |
Yugandhar to be remade*
With the success of Shah Rukh Khan's Don and Ajith's Billa in Tamil, work for remake of Yugandhar has gained momentum. Sri Raja Rajeshwari Combines has bagged the remake rights of NTR's Yugandhar and as well as the rights of Ajith's Billa for a whopping price. We understand that the price paid for the rights was much bigger than an upcoming star’s remuneration.
According to our reliable sources, Raja Rajeshwari Combines has bought the rights of this remake from the original producers - 'Chandramukhi' Vasu's family. Vasu's father Pitambaram who was make-up man for Late NTR was the original producer and Vasu himself wanted to remake it but he sold off the rights.
The question is who will act in this remake? They are currently in discussions with members of Nandamuri family. A young director came forward to direct it. The official announcement will be out in a week.
Ravi Teja to turn director next year*
Ravi Teja is on cloud nine with his Sankranthi release, Krishna, getting good response from all quarters. He credits the success to director Vinayak for making complete family entertainer. With renewed enthusiasm and joy, he has signed two films this year.
His next film to be directed by Uday Shankar begins its regular shooting from January 16th. He pairs with his lucky heroine Anushka (they had first paired together in Rajamouli directed Vikramarkudu). Suresh Productions is producing it.
On other hand, he will also be working for director and producer Puri Jagannadh from July 2008. He plans to turn director next year.
