I can't match YSR's energy

Posted by SRINU GUNTURU | | Posted On at 11:17 AM

Chief minister K Rosaiah said on Saturday that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had hinted that he would lay the foundation stone for the

prestigious NTPC-BHEL joint venture project at Mannanuru near Srikalahasthi in Chittoor district before September 20.

Addressing a press conference at the Secretariat, Rosaiah said that he had written to the prime minister reminding him about the foundation stone for the project. However, this is a tentative schedule and no date has been finalised till now, according to the CM. Rosaiah also said that he had requested for central assistance for completing the pending projects in the state.

He denied the reports that the DGP would be removed. "I have seen it only in the newspapers. The government has no plans to transfer any police officer in the state."

Replying to a question on his moving from 'D Block' to 'C Block' in the Secretariat, he said that it would be decided by seniors in the party.

In his candid confession, Rosaiah said that he was no match to the energy to late chief minister, Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, who used to wake up at 4.30 am and talk to officials. "I wake up at 6 am because my age does not permit me to get up at 4.30 am but I am making up for late-rising by working till 9.30 pm in my office."

"There may be some difficulties for many of the officials as I am going to office even on holidays and working late but it is only temporary and every one should come to terms with it," said Rosaiah.

Vrooming ahead: Rohit

Posted by SRINU GUNTURU | | Posted On at 11:15 AM

After sons of stars, producers and directors it’s the turn of a political heavyweight to make a T-town splash. Rohit Narra, nephew of former Chief Minister Chandra-babu Naidu makes his debut in the youth-centric film Baanam.

Even before we can ask him why films, Rohit confesses that, “politics” was never a career option for him.Surprisingly, even acting wasn’t there in his scheme of things. A bio-technology grad, Rohit probably would have gone on to do a master’s degree, but fate had other plans. He rewinds: “I had rejected a couple of offers in Chennai but thought of trying my hand at acting.” That took him to a six-month crash course in filmmaking and acting at the New York Film Academy. “I just wanted to master the basics. Of course, if you train as an actor that comes handy, but one needs to have talent to make it big,” he affirms.

Coming to his dream project, he agreed to do the film because the script was “novel”. “It’s a wonderful script,” says the actor, who preferred a ‘plot-driven’ film over a “star-centric” movie as his launch pad. “It's always better that way since the script should justify the protagonist’s character in the film,” he avers. Does he play the role of a brooding youngster in the film? “I’d say I am playing an intense role which is quite different from what you have seen before. There’s a romantic angle blended into the script,” he elaborates.

Like other trained actors, does he believe in method acting? “On the contrary, I rely on spontaneity since the ‘first’ shot is always the best,” he says. Rohit would like to experiment with all kinds of films. “I am game for varied roles. I’d even like to do dance sequences in future films. In this film there was scope only for action,” he points out.

Off the camera, Rohit isn’t a party animal and prefers to attend only select bashes. But he religiously watches ‘one’ movie a day, listens to music and uses “laptops if necessary,” he says. For now he’s also “looking out for meaningful scripts among a couple of offers,” he says.

Would Sonia care about break up news?

Posted by SRINU GUNTURU | | Posted On at 11:12 AM

Jagan camp sending split signals to bring Congress high command to their lines but the question is will Congress high command care about this type of news or threat. Congress high command had seen these type of threats and some actions also in the past. Let us take a look at the similar break up threat from senior Congress leader Karunakaran from Kerala state in 2004.

Four-time chief minister, who has often played the kingmaker, K.Karunakaran had problems with A.K.Antony and formed Democratic Indira Congress (Karunakaran) in May 2005 to avenge his son K. Muraleedharan's expulsion from the Congress and to further son's political ambitions. The break-up of the Karunakaran faction and subsequent events had weakened the Congress in Kerala. However, it did not help neither Karunakaran nor Congress Party. Two years of unsuccessful fortune-hunting later, as the grand old man of Kerala politics returned empty-handed to his parent organisation.

MPs that are loyal to Jagan would lose their posts immediately if they break-up from Congress party. So, MPs may not follow Jagan camp even though they talk support of him now. Since Jagan camp has 2/3 majority among MLAs, they can form the government with the support of PRP and MIM but it may not go for long time.

By considering past experiences Congress high command may not care much about the break-up news.

Raghuveera itching to split the Congress?

Posted by SRINU GUNTURU | | Posted On at 11:11 AM

The key member of Jagan camp, minister, Raghuveera Reddy seems very aggressive and forcing Jagan to split the Congress party at state level. Jagan loyalists are getting restive and egging him on to break away from the Congress and form a regional party.

Rajya Sabha member KVP Ramachanda Rao, who was a close confidant of Jagan's father and late CM Y.S. Rajasehkhara Reddy apprised Jagan and his supporters of the thinking of the high command on Friday.

At least three ministers reportedly said since the signal from Delhi was negative, there was no point waiting and that Jagan should launch a regional outfit.

Rao, however, advised restraint, saying there was still some hope.

Director Arjun - "Raja Is A Contract Killer"

Posted by SRINU GUNTURU | | Posted On at 11:07 AM

Director Arjun's film 'Samardhudu' is releasing on the 18th of this month. Raja is one among the five contract killers in the film. The film passes a message that as citizens we too have a duty to protect our leaders. "We have based our story on the life of P. Janardhan Reddy, the man of the masses," says the director.

He adds, "Unable to see his popularity some people want to kill him, they hire five contract killers for this purpose. Dandapani plays the CM, and Krishnam Raju is the man of the masses. These 5 guys stay in Sanjana's house as tenants."

The director has taken special care to see that the soft and lover boyimage of Raja doesn't come in the way of the film. He elaborates, "There are two versions in his hair style. The body language is different. Even my guru EVV garu said Raja looks so different. We have tried our best to make the film look stylish and trendy. The second half of the film explains why Raja turns as a hired killer, does he kill, does he change his heart after seeing the leader from proximity

Jagan lobby realized the true factor of Congress

Posted by SRINU GUNTURU | | Posted On at 11:05 AM

After a few days of frenetic activity, the Jagan camp has also came to the conclusion that the only way to impress the Congress president would be to express their loyalty to her and leave the entire decision on choosing the successor of late YSR to her.

The supporters of Mr Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy have finally realised that their aim of making him Chief Minister would only happen with the blessings of the Congress president, Mrs Sonia Gandhi, and not by merely mustering the support of MLAs.

Party sources said that since Mrs Gandhi took over the reins of the party a decade ago, the system of eliciting the opinion of MLAs had been given up whenever a leadership crisis occurred.

Instead, the practice is for the high command to convince the legislators to pass a one line resolution leaving the decision to the Congress president.

The high command deputed observers to hold the crisis and then they would convene the CLP meeting, obtain the single line resolution and then inform the party president on the majority opinion’.After that the observers would declare the name of the consensus candidate on the ‘advice’ of party president.

Though observers are being deputed even after Mrs Gandhi became president, their role has become minimal. During the 2004 and 2009 CLP elections, for instance, the customary resolution was passed and Mrs Gandhi announced the name of YSR.

Hero Siddhartha casts a spell on media

Posted by SRINU GUNTURU | | Posted On at 11:05 AM

HYDERABAD: He debuted in Tamil, crossed over to Hindi with a nationally acclaimed performance and landed with a winner in the Telugu film industry. After seven years of acting, and dabbling in direction, screenplay and playback singing, Siddharth Narayan finally agreed to endorse a brand.

“I avoided the role of brand ambassador so far but when I decided to do it, I chose one of the best,” he declared to the media after launching Idea’s ‘Walking Raagas’ as part of the ‘Walk When You Talk’ campaign.

The easy extempore is hardly a new development. “Even when I was public speaker in school I hated podiums,” he says. And that explains the confidence behind the mike.

“I always wished there was a way to talk and walk.” The next thing you know he is strolling up and down the stage with a cordless mike.

It was his first promotion and he had no trouble leaving a lingering smile in an audience full of media people.

Needless to say, it is not the easiest gathering to impress. In a touching show of respect, he even expressed his condolences to the people over the death of Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy.

A product of many cities, he shifted effortlessly between Telugu and English leaving no confusion about where he belongs when he referred to the Telugu film industry as “our industry.” The charming demeanour and the friendly tone do not go with the supposed ‘low profile’ he maintains. “Well it’s the first time I am doing this,” he says. “But once I am gone you won’t see me till my next movie release,” he quickly adds with a smile.

As for upcoming films, “There is Striker, where I play a solo lead. It’s a biopic of a man in Bombay.” Anticipating the oft asked question about his image he says, “It’s my first action film. I enjoyed working on it more than any other film.”

Since his last Telugu film ‘Oye’ only released in July, he is yet to start working on his next project. “It is an untitled movie. It’s by Prakash Rao, son of director Raghavendra Rao.”

He is not too disappointed by a Telugu movie not making it to the national awards again.

“The way I see it Prakash Raj is a Telugu actor and he won,” he says, never at a loss for answers.

T’wood gives Ali his dream role

Posted by SRINU GUNTURU | | Posted On at 11:04 AM

Suave and sharply dressed, villains who play smooth criminals steal the show in Tollywood. And Mumabi model-turned-actor Shawar Ali is all set to jump the bandwagon with his upcoming film Rechipo.
After a successful stint in the modelling world for eight years, Shavar turned to Bollywood to satisfy his urge to do something “creative and meaningful”. A couple of duds later, the actor is back to try his luck again, wiser and more experienced this time.
Not a quitter, he says, “I made mistakes. everyone does, but at least I can look back and claim that I did it all on my own, without any help. As long as I don’t repeat them, it is okay.”
Rechipo, starring Nitin and Illeana, has Shawar playing his “dream role.” He says, “My role is that of a rich, suave, powerful and intriguing don from Dubai. I even get to drive around in a hummer. What more can I ask for? It is my dream role. And if you want to build a great fan base, Tollywood is the place to be.”
While he is already flooded with offers from T’wood, Shawar admits he’s pretty picky now. “From here on I want it to be an upward curve, so I will be very careful of what projects I take on in Tollywood.” While his current focus is on T’wood, he has kept his option open. “I have just finished a film called Shock and I’m currently doing Sunny Deol’s The Man. I am reading a lot of scripts for future projects too.” Meanwhile, he’s enjoying his stay in the city. “I love Hyderabad. It reminds me of my hometown Bhopal because of the meheman nawazi that Hyderabadis are famous for.”

Posted by SRINU GUNTURU | | Posted On at 11:04 AM

The Congress high command launched a team to know the facts of AP political situation with the out side persons who doesn't belongs any group.

The Congress central leadership has deputed at least 10 "secret observers" to the state to assess the political situation in the aftermath of the tragic death of former Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy.

It is learnt that the senior leader, Mr Pranab Mukherjee and Mr Ahmed Patel, the political advisor of the Congress President, had deputed the observers. There are reports that Mr Ahmed Patel’s daughter has been in town for the last two days and had met certain leaders.

According to the sources the observers had arrived three days ago and were privately interacting with party leaders and others to give inputs on the possible successor to YSR. They have arrived even as an active campaign is on by a section of Congress leaders to make Mr Jagan Mohan Reddy, son of YSR, the next Chief Minister.

The deputy chairman of the Legislative Council, Mr Mohammed Jani, and the Congress MLC, Mr Kanukula Janardhana Reddy, told Saturday that some observers had arrived in the city. But they refused to give names.

One observer has called the Rayachoti MLA, Mr Gadikota Srikanth Reddy, and discussed the situation. The AICC emissaries are also examining media reports and snap polls conducted by news channels about the possible successor of YSR.

They are collecting information on the support for Mr Jagan Mohan Reddy, whether the Congress would be able to retain its sway in the future.
