How will you feel if you get to watch a movie that blends modern technologies with a local flavor? Chranjeevi’s son Ram Charan Teja's second film ‘Mahadheera’ is that kind of a pic. ‘Mahadheera’ directed by S.S. Rajamouli and produced by Allu Aravind under the banner of Gita Arts went on to become a blockbuster in Andhra. The film is about rebirth of the lovers who lived before 400 years. Interesting right? And if we get to watch the remake version ‘Mahadheera’ in Tamil, wouldn’t that be something to wait for?

The hottest word of mouth is that, few days earlier our Superstar had watched ‘Mahadheera’ at Four Frames Theater and was delighted about it. He then called his close friend Chiru’s son Ram Charan Teja over the phone and heaped laurels immediately after the show.

We also heard that Kalaipuli Dhanu has bought the Tamil remake rights of ‘Mahadheera’ for a huge amount, and would start off with the project soon after the release of ‘Kandhasamy’. The latest news is that the film will be remade by the same team in Tamil, except for few small changes to suit Tamil audience.

For the people who wanted to see ‘Mahadheera’ in Tamil Nadu, it is turning out to be a flop show! Not even a singled pirated VCD is available in the market as the law enforcements are strict. Police officials from Andhra have camped in Chennai to prevent any supply of the pirated version with constant rides.

Wow… This is turning out to be something so unusually interesting now!

Washington: the H1B visa programme is unlikely to reach its cap of 65,000 before the start of the 2010 fiscal with nearly 20,000 slots lying vacant thanks to the tattered US economy.

The US Citizenship and Immigration Services said it has received approximately 49,000 H1B petitions till August seven counting toward the Congressionally-mandated 65,000 cap, more than four months after it started accepting applications for visas for the 2010 fiscal begining this October.

This is in contrast to the previous years when the USCIS had to resort to computerised draw of lots as it received petitions outnumbering several times more than the Congressional mandated cap of 65,000 within the first few days after it started receiving H-1B applications.

The figure of 20,000 slots in the vacant category has remained almost the same for the past two months. This is also due to a large number of rejections of H-1B petitions.

Indian IT professionals have been a major beneficiary of H-1B visas, figures released in the past have said.

For the fiscal 2010, the USCIS started receiving H-1B petitions from April 1. In the first five working days, it received 42,000 H-1B petitions. In the month and half since then, USCIS has received just 7,000 more H-1B petitions.

This is mainly attributed to the current economic crisis and the tougher measures being adopted by the USCIS and the State Department in sanctioning of H-1B visas.
