I am for separate Telangana: Chiru



It is now official and clear. Megastar Chiranjeevi has categorically declared at his road show in Jagitial, amidst firing of crackers, that his Praja Rajyam party is all in favour of separate Telangana.

Chiranjeevi declared that his party would not come in the way, if the UPA government at the Centre announces the formation of Telangana. "I understand the sentiments of the people of Telangana and my party always respects the feelings of the people. My heart beats to the tune of your aspirations. We are for separate Telangana," he said.

What is more, he ended his speech with the slogan "Jai Telangana," as the people fired crackers. "Why is the Centre silent on this crucial issue? Let us all bring pressure on Delhi rulers to grant separate Telangana," he thundered. He said Telangana was not actually a backward area, as being claimed by a few leaders, but was pushed backward by the rulers in the past. "Let us all have a developed and glorious Telangana," he said.

All eyes on Chiru's Seema tour



After the Telangana tour, Chiranjeevi is planning to tour Rayalaseema areas in the next month. And all eyes are on how he would take on his rivals in the Seema, which is widely under the influence of Chief Minister Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy.

Especially since Chiranjeevi has announced his support for separate Telangana State, political observers feel he might face a difficult situation in Rayalaseema. Most of the leaders in Seema are quite opposite to Telangana State and feel that if the State had to be bifurcated, Rayalaseema must be hugely compensated. So, Chiranjeevi would have to talk about due justice to Rayalaseema region.

However, Chiranjeevi is heavily banking on leaders like Bhuma Nagi Reddy and C Ramachandraiah, who have been giving him advice from time to time on the issues confronting Rayalaseema. They assured that his Seema tour would be smooth and encouraging.

He is likely to begin his yatra from Kurnool, rather than Tirupati, so as to have a confident start.

Balakrishna to reach Guntur on Nov. 4



Vijayawada: Nandamuri hero, Balakrishna, who is scheduled to make his political debut with the Yuvagarjana to be held in Guntur on November 5, is likely to reach the town one day in advance and hold talks with the party senior leaders.

Even as the Telugu Desam president, N Chandrababu Naidu, is closely monitoring the arrangements for the mega event, Balakrishna himself is personally gathering information on the arrangements and instructing the leaders accordingly.

The TD had formed over 17 special committees to monitor venue, dais, media, electricity, transport, parking, finance and other issues. Each of the committee was assigned special tasks for the event. Party senior leader, Yanamala Ramakrishnudu, who heads the organizing committee, is camping in Guntur monitoring the arrangements with the respective committees.

Meanwhile, Balakrishna, who is determined to help his “Viyyankudu” to come back to power, is also monitoring the arrangements through his fans. He is in touch with his Fans Association president, P Sundaram Babu, and the TD Guntur district unit president, P Pullarao, about the arrangements.

Sources said that Balayya had asked his nephews, Taraka Ratna and Kalyan Ram, to join him in the massive rally from Gannavaram airport on the day along with Chandrababu Naidu. The TD leaders are planning a mega road show of Chandrababu Naidu, Harikrishna, Balakrishna and the two young heroes from the airport to the venue on the day.

Chiru, Nag, Venky and Bala Going Into History

They are known as 'The Big Four' of the Telugu film industry and have always had been referred to as the four main pillars of the Telugu circuit. However, it now appears that the time has come for the big four to make way for the younger generation of stars and take the legacy of the films forward.

Leading from the front is megastar Chiranjeevi who has already begun a new chapter as a politician which is a sure shot sign of his adieu. Nagarjuna has got his movie arriving but then he has already set the stage for his son's arrival marking that his prime time is done. Nag also says that he is planning to relax for about 2 years once King is released. Venky has got appetite for another 2-3 films and he could be calling it quits around that time.

Last but not the least, there is Balayya who is already gearing up for the role of a politician and not much has been happening on his films front. It now appears that the time has come for folks like Mahesh Babu, NTR, Prabhas, Pawan Kalyan and others to hold the torch and perhaps create the next big four.

Chiranjeevi Videos Getting Huge Demand



With each passing day, Megastar Chiranjeevi is getting more and more comfortable with his new role as a politician and one can see the body language from the time he announced his 'Praja Rajyam Party' and till date, the transformation he has been through.

Given the current political tsunami he has been creating, it is heard that most of his videos such as the songs, the best scenes of his hit movies and many other sequences have suddenly started getting a lot of viewership and the regular surfers of the famous youtube site say that the videos are being watched like crazy with the hits it shows.

He has now started his second leg of 'Praja Ankita' yatra and this time he would be covering only the Telangana region. With the kind of response he got during his first leg, the message is clear that he sure enjoys some reputation as far as getting a glimpse of him goes.

But the real truth will be out once the polls are announced and the voting is done and just like any other film, even Chiru's fate will be in the hands of the same audience who will appear in the new role as voters to decide whether he is fit enough to be a real life star or just a reel life star.

Taraka Ratna, too smart a politician



Nandamuri Taraka Ratna has proved himself a smarter politician than expected. The way he answered embarrassing questions from Rajanikanth, TV9 anchor, in a live show amply proves this.

Taraka Ratna did not succumb to any of the cross-questioning from Rajanikanth. On his controversial comment that Balakrishna would be the next Chief Minister, he simply said the controversy was the creation of the media. "Why are you making a issue out of non-issue?

This is not correct," he snubbed Rajanikanth. On his absence at the luncheon meeting held by Chandrababu Naidu with NTR family members, too, Taraka Ratna got angry. "We are all one family members. I can go to mamayya's house whenever I want. There is no need for any invitation. I was in Kurnool at that time for a film shooting. Don't try to dig too much into the matter, which is not there," he said.

On many other points, Rajanikanth tried to extract a controversial statement from Taraka Ratna, but the latter was too smart to fall into the trap. He said he would not take up politics as full time, but would definitely work for the Telugu Desam party, even after it comes to power.

Shriya In Love With Cricketer



This might come across as a painful blow to the many million fans of the sizzling beauty Shriya but then there is a strong buzz from the Mumbai circles that this pretty starlet has been smitten and the man to make it happen is none other than the hot headed speed bowler Sreesanth of the Indian cricket team.

It is heard that both of them were spotted together at a party and sparks were flying from all sides. However, the pretty starlet was totally shocked to hear when she heard the news and she made it a point to give an open statement about the whole issue. Shriya said that she is not in love with anyone and added that romance has no place in her life right now.

Speaking about Sreesanth, she made it clear that she hardly knows him and gave him a customary hi as part of their brand assignments. So folks, it now looks clear that Shriya's heart is still single and waiting to be taken. So if you happen to chance upon her anytime, take your chance, who knows, you could be the one she is looking out for.

Ghajini – First Look on sensational promos



Christopher Nolan's Mementoes fetched the best credits for its fascinating theme of 'Short Term Memory Loss'.

So, what makes the film getting titled 'Ghajini'? Ask Murugadoss and he says, "GHAJINI is derived from the name of King Mohammad Ghajini. His unique attributes is all about committing a great crime in front of others and making them believe he never did it. So does our protagonist carrying the same quotients". Directed by A.R. Murugadoss, Asin stars opposite Aamir in female lead along with Jiah Khan and A.R. Rahman scores music.

Chiranjeevi to spell party's stand on Telangana soon




Sircilla (AP) (PTI): Actor-turned-politician Chiranjeevi on Thursday virtually endorsed the demand for separate Telangana state, though he stopped short of announcing his party's stand on the issue.

Kicking off the second leg of his mass-contact programme from this handloom hub in the Telangana heartland, the Praja Rajyam party founder said he understood the sentiments of the people and their desire.

"I don't have any personal agenda. People's agenda is my agenda. I can understand the heartbeat of the people of Telangana. I honour the self-respect of the people of the region," he said, addressing a road show here.

Amid cheers from the large gathering, the megastar said he would spell out his party's stand on the statehood issue before completion of his present leg of tour.

"I will not leave Telangana without spelling out my stand on the most-awaited issue," Chiranjeevi said. The second round of his tour would cover Karimnagar, Warangal and Khammam districts over the next eight days in Telangana region.

Without naming any one, he hit out at political parties for exploiting the innocence of Telangana people for their advantage.

Chiranjeevi's tour in Telangana is keenly watched in political circles as his stand on the statehood demand is expected to impact the outcome of the next year's assembly elections.

Since Telangana has emerged as a key issue ahead of polls, the megastar's position will influence the nature of alliances in the region.

56 dead, 350 injured as 13 blasts rock Assam

GUWAHATI: Terror struck the hub of North-East when over a dozen blasts ripped through commercial areas of the capital and three other districts on An injured being rushed to hospital after a bomb blast at Ganeshguri in Guwahati, Assam.

The first of the 13 bombs, suspected to have been planted by Bangladesh-based HuJI members, went off simultaneously around 11.30 am under the Ganeshguri flyover, near the high-security capital complex housing the Assembly building, Paltan Bazar and Fancy Bazar here.

Around the same time, bombs also went off in crowded market places of Kokrajhar, Bongaigaon and Barpeta districts in lower Assam. ( Watch )

Black smoke billowed from the Deputy Commissioner's Office housing the district courts, which bore the brunt of the attacks in Guwahati, as vehicles, including a number of cars, turned into mangled heaps of metal.

Police suspected that the bomb was planted in the court complex on a two-wheeler.

At least 25 people were killed and 235 injured in the blasts in Guwahati where an indefinite curfew was clamped following protests by residents, who accused the police of delayed action.

While 19 were killed and 64 injured in Kokrajhar, 12 died in Barpeta and 46 others were wounded. Five people were injured in Bongaigaon, Principal Secretary (Home) Subhash Das said.

A red alert has been sounded across the state and army has also been put on alert in view of the security situation, he said after Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi held a review meeting with his cabinet colleagues and top officials.

Over Confidence Killed Talented Director



He has often been labeled as the man with extreme talent and vibrant dynamism; all this has been seen in his earlier movies that turned out to be blockbuster hits and with a definitely rebellious touch. He is none other than the noted director Teja who had made a mark for himself in Tollywood.

But all that seems to be a thing of the past now as Teja came up with a string of flops before he went off the hook for almost two years. Now, he came back with the film 'Keka' and before the movie hit the screens, he was oozing with over confidence and came up with some amateur gimmicks to raise curiosity.

The film has bombed big time and those who have been watching the mannerism of Teja openly admitted that it was his over confidence and his brash style that cost him a flop and that too this was considered to be quite a prestigious project for him. Given his autocratic nature, this might be difficult but let us hope that Teja has learnt his lessons and comes up with better stuff. But still his arrogance is seen in his words- he wants to make films in Bollywood and on parallel lines wishes to produce at least 10 films a year by giving chances to new directors in order to percolate the filth in Tollywood!!!!!!! Is that not a height of arrogance?!

Kajal Gets Rs 45 Lakhs With NTR



She is known as the naughty seductress since her eyes contain a lot of mischief and innocence but a look below her neck and the whole equations change. She has one juicy body filled with right curves, a sexy navel and luscious legs that men would roll their tongues for miles together.

She is none other than Kajal Agarwal who has been the most sought after when it came to the big banner ventures with young heroes. Currently, she is busy with the shooting of her film with Ramcharan Teja and now here is another jackpot for her.

There is news that mass hit director VV Vinayak has roped Kajal in as the second heroine alongside young tiger NTR. There is news that she has been given a remuneration of a whopping forty five lakhs while the first heroine Ileana is up there with Rs 1 crore. Few good hits and it will not be long before Kajal gets there too.

Sunil to take up direction

Sunil came to Hyderabad with a view to get a chance in any department in the film industry. Incidentally, he became a comedian and earned a star image. Not only as a comedian, he turned a hero too and his film ‘Andala Ramudu’ was a big hit those days. However, he continued to remain a comedian, but did not attempt to do any role that comes in his way. Again he is playing a hero in the direction of SS Rajamouli now. Though many other established heroes are vying for a chance to work under Rajamouli, Sunil bagged the opportunity. Meanwhile, a gossip is doing rounds that Sunil is going to take up direction. Moreover, it seems the film is going to be produced by Trivikram Srinivas. Rumours say that the film is likely to start rolling in summer next year. If this gossip is true, Sunil would create a record of working with four directors in one year as hero. As per information, Sunil is going to play hero under Rajamouli’s direction, with Mullapudi Vara providing the story. Chandrasekhar Yeleti penning the screenplay. Besides, he is going to direct the film with Trivikram Srinivas.

Venkatesh ready to work in Bollywood



Venkatesh who changed his surname from Daggupati to Victory through his hits in telugu cinema, is now getting ready to act in hindi films after attaining the heights of stardom in telugu in all these years of filmy experience. Venkatesh who started as hero in 1986 with Kaliyuga Pandavulu, he went on to do many hit and super hit films in these 22 years. He acted in nearly 60 movies. In the course, he has earned lot of name, fame, awards and also many fans especially family ladies.

Venkatesh is now going to explore new avenues in his career. Speaking in an interview, Venkatesh said that he is intrested to do movies in all Indian languages. He also said that he got many offers from Bollywood which he regected because all these offers wanted him to shift his base from Hyderabad to Bombay which he didn’t want to do. He also believes that he was destined to do telugu movies for all these years.

Asin remuneration is 2 crores



Kerala babe Asin who once acted in many telugu movies is right now busy doing movies in tamil has yet another time increased her price from 1 crore to 2 crores. She is also doing a hindi movie titled Gazini with Aamir Khan which is yet to release. This movie is a remake of tamil superhit film Gazini in which Aasin played the heroine role.

In Tamil industry, Aasin has joined hands with hero Vijay and gave continous hits Pokiri and Sivakasi because of which she has raised he remuneration from 1 crore to 2 crores. Because of this increase in fes, Asin is being considered as the no 1 heroine of South Indian Film industry.

There is one good and one bad point for this increase in rates of Aasin. The good point is that, thank God she is not doing any telugu movies, if so, our producers had to pay 2 crores just for the heroine in their movies.

The one problem with this increase in Asin fees is that other big heroines like Nayanatara and Ileana are likely to increase their rates also from 1.2 crore and 1 crore respectively to 2 crores to stand no 1 in the race of heroines which would create a problems for telugu producers because these two heroines are acting in many telugu movies.

All the best Asin…….

With the increasing number of regional entertainment channels, each channel is forced to come out with many entertaining programs to keep the viewers busy without watching an other channel. In this race to success, these tv channels are forced to play many recent movies because movie is the main entertainment for any common telugu man. In this process, these tv channels are buying the satellite rights of all big movies for high amounts. Now the trend is that these tv channels buy movies even before their launch.

We will have to wait and see where this will go and end……

Ntr to be absent for Yuva Garjana on 5th November

Jr Ntr who is now becoming the most powerful and popular person in NTR family will not attend the Yuva Garjana which will be held on 5th November in Guntur. Earlier it was proposed that the entire Nandamuri family will attend the Yuvagarjana and Balakrishna will officially enter AP State politics on this stage.

The events took a sudden change and TDP supremo Chandra Babu Naidu had a sudden blow when Ntr announced his absence to Yuva Garjana. Ntr and Chandra Babu had a meeting at the later’s house today morning. In this 45 minute long meeting, Chandra Babu Naidu tried to convince Ntr to attend the meeting stating that his absence at Yuvagarjana meeting would send a wrong message to TDP fans, opposition parties and also to the ntire TDP cadre. He also said that Yuvagarja has become the meeting of prestige for entire Telugu Desam Party.

Ntr said that his prior commitments and promises are making him miss the Yuvagarjana. He said that he will not be able to attend the meeting on Nov 5th because of his shooting schedule for MLA film, but he promised Chandra Babu that he would join the TDP campaign at a later date after he finishes the shooting schedule. He also requested Chandra Babu not to insist him anymore on this matter.



NTR was furious and argued with Chandra Babu after he came to know that some NTR family members were lobbying against candidates for whom he had recommended party tickets in next elections. Ntr recommended producer Vamsi for Gannavaram seat in Krishna District. Vamsi is also the producer of Ntr next film MLA. But other TDP leaders and also his father Hari Krishna are against this and want the same seat to be given to someone else.

Lets wait and see what will happen now in TDP and how things will take turn because only NTR has the voice and the ideas to pull off a sustained campaign for the Telugu Desam Party.

'KBL' rains offers for Swetha Prasad



At the age of 7, Swetha Prasad was introduced to small screen, and was well recognized as a child artist through Ektha Kapoors Serial ‘Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii’. Her first big screen appearance was as Chunni and Munni in 'Makdee' (2002). 'Iqbal' (2005) was another feather in her cap directed by Nagesh Kukunoor and produced by Subhash Ghai. She has won many accolades as a child artiste. She debuted as a heroine in Tollywood with 'Kotha Bangaru Lokam' on Sri Venkateswara Creations banner, produced by 'Dil'Raju. In the role of Swapna, she exhibited an altogether varied style of dialogue delivery, and attracted the audiences with her ease in acting. The actress when enquired about her performance says, “I am a spontaneous actress and my acting is purely based on my instincts. I usually visually myself in the place of my character and feel the emotions literally.” She was also appreciated by the seniors in the industry, and offers are pouring in for this graceful actress. However, Swetha is presently focusing on her career in Bollywood. If the script, character and the production are appealing she might give a nod to another Telugu film. After KBL, spectators expect to see one more Swapna on screen and Swetha Prasad might restate it as soon as she finds her cup of tea.

Balaiah as CM: Taraka Ratna



Nellore: Giving an indication of the troubles that the Telugu Desam president, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu, could face from the Nandamuri clan, an actor-member of the family on Sunday said he wanted his uncle, actor Balakrishna, to become chief minister if the party returns to power. The actor Nandamuri Taraka Ratna said it was his childhood dream to see his uncle and actor Nandamuri Balakrishna as the chief minister. Taraka Ratna, the son of Mr Mohana Krishna, was speaking at a Simha Garjana public meeting here in support of the TD.

Chiranjeevi set for T tour from Oct 23



Hyderabad: The Prajarajyam party chief Chiranjeevi appears to be unruffled by TDP’s pro Telangana stand. Though on many occasions he stated that he had full sympathy for the cause of Telangana, Chiranjeevi is unlikely to announce a clear policy in unequivocal terms during his tour of the region which begins next week.

Chiranjeevi who has recovered from his severe throat infection he suffered during his maiden political tour of North Andhra, is now getting ready for the second leg in Telangana districts from October 23. He will tour for four days in the Warangal and Karimnagar districts and will return to Hyderabad on 27 for Deepavali,” sources told media.

After the party’s launch on August 26, Chiranjeevi stated that the Telangana issue was question of self respect of the people of the region.

After that there was no firm statement on the party stand on separate statehood. Infact, he never had an opportunity to talk on the subject not even during his visit to Sircilla recently since it was more or a humanitarian-cum-study tour to know the problems of the weavers who were resorting to suicides. It now remains to be seen whether he would unfold his party stand on the T issue or not.

But party sources say that Prajarajyam leader had clearly spelt out his stand on the Telangana and that there was no ambiguity on this subject, a senior PRP leader said.

On Sunday evening, Chiranjeevi inaugurated his party’s second office on Rd No. 5, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad.

Meanwhile, PRP senior leader C Ramachandraiah said from now onwards the PRP will focus on the rampant political corruption in the state.

Gossip Between Vijayashanti And Balayya



She is today the so called fighter for a free state and he is still the most powerful stars on the silver screen. Going fifteen years back, both of them had done quite a number of films and so much was their chemistry that soon a torrid passionate affair was labeled to them given their equations.

Time has passed and now they have gone their own ways, we are talking about Balakrishna and Vijayashanti and given the fact that Balayya is all set to hit the political stage to salvage his father's party, it is but natural that Vijayashanti would be his imminent rival. So strong was the gossip about their 'friendship' that a noted mimicry artiste MR Prasad came up with an audio album titled 'Sridevi Pelli' and there was this dialogue from Balayya asking his father NTR not to say anything against Vijayashanti.

Surprisingly, she has been showing her tirade against Chiranjeevi but has not spoken a word against Balayya till now. So the talk has again begun on the circuit whether the buzz that happened about fifteen years ago was indeed true or what. Only time will tell if this is true or not.

Problems Of Balakrishna And Chiranjeevi



Cinema and politics are two different ball games, this seems to have hit the heads of Megastar Chiranjeevi and Yuva Ratna Balakrishna according to news received from the sources close to him. Incidentally, the two among the Big Four are taking steps towards a new political career.

However, here is a hitch. Both of them seem to be suffering from some fundamental problems. Apparently, there is news that Chiru is not too aware of few fundamental concepts of politics and despite being explained on this, he tends not to focus and remains unconvinced.

On the other hand, Balayya has got sound knowledge in politics and is quick to grasp the concepts but then he has a major issue with expressing it. So while Chiru is suffering from fundamentals problem, Balayya is suffering from expression problem. Wonder how they will overcome it.

Tarak Gives Sleepless Nights to Chandrababu



Vijayawada: Ever since Telugu Desam president N Chandrababu Naidu started pursuing Nandamuri brothers to come to his rescue, he has been facing one or the other problem, mostly from the young hero from the clan, Tarak Rathna.

Tarak was angry with Chandrababu Naidu as he was not invited for the first two rounds of meetings held with the Nandamuri heroes. In addition, Tarak had raised objections to the way Chadrababu Naidu is giving importance to Junior NTR. According to the media reports, Tarak had protested against the ‘undue importance’ being given to Jr NTR, but remained silent after his Babayi intervened. Subsequently, Tarak was invited for the third meeting.

Since then, Tarak has been touring the State and his comments are creating tremors in the Telugu Desam. At Narasaraopet meeting, he had claimed that the Telugu Desam belonged to the Nandamuri family. At Tenali, he claimed that his Babayi, Balakrishna, would take over the TD soon. Now, in Nellore, Tarak made further more serious statement that Balayya would be the next Chief Minister.

Tarak’s statements reveal two things. The first thing is that his anger against Chandrababu Naidu for ignoring him for two meetings. The other thing is the possible hidden agenda that the Nandamuri brothers have in their minds, which the young hero is revealing it unknowingly.

Whatever the reason, Taraka Rathna’s statements have been making Chandrababu Naidu sleepless these days. In fact, the time has come to think whether his invitation to Nandamuri brothers is going help him or harm him.

Sneha Ullal Flirting With Young Hero



For all those who have been delighted with the fact that the stunning beauty Sneha Ullal who has created a storm in the Telugu circuit and has also earned the label of 'Aishwarya Rai of Tollywood' here is some news. It appears that Sneha has not been able to develop the poise and grace of Aish.

There is news that this pretty girl is in demand now and there are also reports of her getting a whopping Rs 35 lakhs for one of her next projects that also has Mohan Babu in it. However, the point is this pretty girl is said to be getting quite cozy with Allu Arjun and has been seen flirting with him.

Though there are one or two more names that are being added to her kitty, it is being noticed that Sneha has begun to show her airs. Agreed that she rocks, but this is the time when she needs to stabilize her boat and not carried away by the waves. Hope you get this Sneha!!!

Chandrababu greets Mohan Babu!



Telugu Desam president N Chandrababu Naidu and his Bhuvaneshwari extended their warm greetings to film star Mohan Babu on the occasion of the engagement of latter's son Vishnuvardhan with Veronica Reddy, niece of Chief Minister Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy (son of his youngest brother Sudheekar Reddy).

Naidu's presence at the engagement function at Hitex was a surprise to all, as Mohan Babu invited him for courtesy sake. Moreover, Mohan Babu has been openly supporting the Congress and YSR and even prophesied that the Congress would win more than 200 seats in the next elections.

The marriage would bring Mohan Babu further close to YSR. So, everybody that Naidu would take it easy.

However, Naidu deliberately attended the function, only to catch the media attention. By attending the function, he tried to prove that he has no personal or political rivalry with anybody.

Manchu Vishnu's Engagement In Hitex



For all those who have been waiting to hear the news of Manchu Vishnuvardhan Babu and his personal life, here is a bit. Vishnu is all set to get engaged to his sweetheart Veronica today. The venue has been fixed at the famous Hitex premises and all arrangements have been made.

The time for the ceremony will begin at 7.30pm and this will be a cocktail party with an unlimited quota of imported liquor and the finest quality brands. Apparently, there is news that Vishnu had already hosted a private party on Wednesday and this was a gala bash in itself.

Meanwhile, the media has been quite wary whether to go for it or not since they are scared of Mohan Babu from one end and at the same time interested for coverage. Inside sources say that this is more like a mini wedding given the grandeur so it remains to be seen if Mohan Babu will allow media coverage or not. Teleugusirulu congratulates Vishnu and Veronica on their special day and wishes them happiness for the future.

Father's Doubts On Vishnu And Manoj



The film industry is one place where beauty is at your beck and call and if one happens to be the son of a very powerful and famous star then the treat is a feast. So when it comes to someone strict and equally warm like Mohan Babu, things tend to get a bit interesting.

Recently, he was heard quipping with a smirk that he has got both his sons in the film field and though Vishnu is someone who is up to naughty pranks but never gets caught, Manoj is a lad who ends up doing something and gets caught instantly. So Mohan Babu smiles and says that he keeps a watchful eye over both lads when they are on the sets with heroines.

With their doting father around, wonder what must be going through the minds of Vishnu and Manoj since they are barely inches away from the likes of Ileana, Sneha Ullal and Riya Sen and still are expected to be good boys without making noise. Well, that's a tough thing folks!!!

Lawrence's Sentiment With Kukatpally Temple



Time and again, it has been proved that sentiments form the major crux of the film industry and even the biggest of banners and film personalities are no exception to this. Now, here is one person who is known for his beliefs and noble deeds so it is time to share his sentiment too.

We are talking about the multifaceted Raghava Lawrence who is said to have a strong faith in the Venkateswara Swamy temple that is situated at phase 4 of the KPHB colony in Kukatpally. Incidentally, it was Lawrence who recommended the makers of the film 'Shivamani' to shoot there and that's how the famous song of Asin came into being.

It is said that Lawrence makes it a point to visit this temple as and when possible and not stopping at that, he also ensures that he promotes in his own way about the temple. Guess that is the divine grace which has been taking him up the ladder at every given junction. Way to go Lawrence!!!
