Cong+PRP in Andhra & Seema; Cong+TRS in Telengana

2011-02-03T16:54:00.000+05:30

Delhi seems to have found a way out of the political quagmire. A K Antony’s visit if observed closely will offer an insight into the way Delhi is thinking. This is now a sign that it wants to give Telengana away, provided the TRS merges with it. And at the same time it would take its chances in Andhra by forming an alliance with Chiranjeevi. At the end of the day with everything else being equal, Delhi will feel the PRP leader is the only one who stands a semblance of chance against Y S Jagan’s charisma. The foolishness or wisdom behind this decision will only be revealed in time. Meanwhile Mrs Gandhi might in all probability find this option an easier one to swallow. This way she would have a clean sweep in Telengana and in Andhra and Rayalaseema her party would pitch against the TDP and Y S Jagan’s new party. Delhi would find this a better alternative as there is no BJP or the Communists to deal with in this scenario.

బుడిబుడి నడకల బుడతడిగా ఉన్నప్పుడే వెండితెర మీద సంచలనం క్రియేట్ చేసాడు అఖిల్. 'సిసింద్రీ' సినిమా ద్వారా అప్పట్లోనే ఎంతో మంది ఫ్యాన్స్ ని సంపాదించుకున్నాడు. ఇప్పుడీ కుర్రాడికి పదిహేడేళ్ళు. అటు క్రికెట్లోనూ, ఇటు సినిమాలలోనూ కూడా ఇంట్రెస్ట్ చూపిస్తున్నాడు. ఈ నేపధ్యంలో అఖిల్ హీరోగా ఎప్పుడు ఎంట్రీ ఇస్తాడా? అని ఎదురుచూస్తున్న అభిమానులకి ఓ గుడ్ న్యూస్. తన పుత్రరత్నాన్ని ఓ గ్రేండ్ ప్రాజక్ట్ ద్వారా ఇంట్రడ్యుస్ చేయడానికి నాగార్జున, అమల ప్లాన్ చేస్తున్నారు. ప్రముఖ దర్శకుడు రాజమౌళి దర్శకత్వంలో అఖిల్ ని లాంచ్ చేయడానికి అన్ని ఏర్పాట్లు చేసుకుంటున్నట్టు తెలుస్తోంది.
ఈమధ్య 'రాజన్న' చిత్రం డిస్కషన్స్ సందర్భంగా నాగ్ ను రాజమౌళి ఎక్కువగా కలవడం జరుగుతోంది. ఆ సందర్భంగా నాగ్ రాజమౌళిని అడిగినట్టు, ఆయన కూడా అఖిల్ ని లాంచ్ చేయడానికి ఒప్పుకున్నట్టు టాలీవుడ్ లో చెప్పుకుంటున్నారు. అఖిల్ ప్రస్తుతం టీనేజ్ లో ఉన్నందున అందుకు తగ్గట్టుగా లవ్ స్టోరీని తయారుచేయనున్నట్టు తెలుస్తోంది. లవ్ స్టోరీలలోనే మునుపెన్నడూ రాని విధంగా, ఓ భారీ చిత్రంగా దీనిని నిర్మించడానికి ప్లానింగ్ జరుగుతోంది. రాజమౌళి ప్రస్తుతం చేస్తున్న 'ఈగ', నాగ్ చేస్తున్న 'రాజన్న' పూర్తయ్యాక అఖిల్ ప్రాజక్టును చేబడతారు. సో... అక్కినేని వంశం నుంచి మరో హీరో త్వరలో వెండితెరకు వేంచేయనున్నాడన్న మాట!

'Vasthadu Naa Raju' unique promotion

2011-02-03T05:35:00.001+05:30

Manchu Vishnu and Taapsee starrer 'Vasthadu Naa Raju' slated to release next week is promoting their film in rather unique way. The film unit released a song 'Kalagane Vela' to be aired in TV channels. Interestingly, the song is not a final cut. It is like a blooper and has shots of mistakes while making the song, choreographing the song, errors and director giving his suggestions.

The song is on air since the past three days and is rather unique and first of its kind in Tollywood. While most of the film makers prefer to release the final cut of the movie, VNR team released the making of the song to be telecast on a regular basis.

The movie's theatrical trailers were out last week with someone else's voice as dubbing for Prakash Raj as the actor was busy. Sources say after a great deal of persuasion, Prakash Raj gave dubbing to this movie and the final print of the film will be ready by Feb 4th.

Vishnu Manchu himself is producing the movie in which Bramhanandam's comedy is believed to be his all time best

ఐపిఎల్‌లో సౌరవ్‌ ఆడనున్నాడా?

2011-02-03T05:16:00.003+05:30

కోల్‌కతా : ఈ సంవత్సరం జరిగే నాలుగో ఐపిఎల్‌లో భారత మాజీ కెప్టెన్‌ సౌరవ్‌ గంగూలీ తిరిగి ఏదో ఒక ప్రాంఛైజ్‌ తరఫున ఆడే అవకాశం ఉందా? అంటే ..అవుననే సమాధానాలు వస్తు న్నాయి.
జనవరి 8,9 తేదీల్లో జరిగిన వేలం పాటలో సౌరవ్‌ను ఏ ప్రాంఛైజ్‌ కొనుగోలు చేయని విషయం తెలిసిందే. దీంతో దాదాపు సౌరవ్‌కు ఐపిఎల్‌ ఆడే అవకాశం లేనట్లుగా భావించాలి.
అదేవిధంగా ఐపిఎల్‌ నిబంధనల ప్రకారం వేలంపాటలో కొనుగోలుకాని భారతీయ ఆటగాళ్లు ఆ తర్వాత కాంట్రాక్టులపై సంతకం చేయడానికి వీలు లేదు. కాని కోచి ప్రాంఛైజ్‌ మాత్రం గంగూలీతో కాంట్రాక్టు కుదుర్చుకోవడానికి ప్రయత్నాలు చేస్తున్నది.
ఇందుకుగానూ కోచి ఇప్పటికే బిసిసిఐని సంప్రదించింది. ఒకవేళ బిసిసిఐ కనుక ఓకె చెబితే గంగూలీ కోచి తరఫున బరిలో దిగొచ్చు. అది ఏ స్థాయిలో అనేది చూడాల్సిందే !
కాగా ఈ విషయమై ఫిబ్రవరి 4న జరిగే గవర్నింగ్‌ కౌన్సిల్‌ సమావేశంలో చర్చించే అవకాశాలున్నాయి. వేలం పాటకు ముందు గంగూలీ తన బేస్‌ప్రైస్‌ను 4 లక్షల డాలర్లకు పెంచడం అందరినీ విస్మయ పర్చడం, అతడిని ఎవరూ కొనుగోలు చేయకపోవడం
