Popular Telugu actor Kota Srinivasa Rao, who has been honoured with the Padma Shri award, says that the recognition is a surprise for him as he had never expected to get the fourth highest civilian award in India.In a statement to a leading English daily, Kota Srinivasa Rao expressed his excitement over getting the Padma Shri award. "I never expected that I would get this award. It is a surprise for me and this one is for the recognition of my work. I owe it to the Telugu Film Industry, for taking me to new levels," the talented actor told Deccan Chronicle.

Having debuted as a comedian with "Pranam Kareedu" in 1978, Kota Srinivasa Rao acted in more than 500 films in his acting career of over three-and-a-half decade. He has been honoured with several awards, including six Nandi awards. Many in the industry feel that the Padma Shri award has been given to him very late.

"Everyone was saying that the Award came rather late and I should have gotten it long back. I started my career as a theatre artiste and then I got into showbiz. I worked hard to come to this stage and I feel that my hard work has paid off. If I look back, I really wonder how all these years have passed by," The Times of India quoted Kota Srinivasa Rao as saying.

He thanked everyone who he worked with. "I'm indebted to my directors, producers and my co-stars as they have kept on egging me," Kota added.

He has played different characters and established himself as one of the best villains in Indian cinema. "I guess my role in films like Ahana Pellanta, Ganesh, Money, Hello Brother , Gayam, Rakshana, Shatruvu, Intlo Illalu Vantintlo Priyuralu, Maa Nannaku Pelli, etc. won laurels and helped pave the way for the award," he said.

Fraud Complaint Filed Against Latha Rajinikanth

Rs.10 crore money-fraud complaint filed against Latha Rajinikanth

Latha Rajinikanth

Nagar, an individual who took up the distribution and release of superstar Rajinikanth’s 3-D animation venture Kochadaiiyaan in May this year, has filed a complaint with the police accusing Latha Rajinikanth of cheating him to the tune of Rs.10.2 crores.

A complaint was filed with the Commissioner of Police by Nagar stating that “My firm was given the right to distribute and release Rajini’s Kochadaiiyaan which released in May, by Muralimanohar, the producer of the film.  Manohar and I  signed a contract in this regard which was counter-signed by Latha Rajinikanth. I paid to Manohar the sum quoted in the agreement for taking up the film’s release.

“As per the contract, rights to release Kochadaiiyaan in Tamil Nadu shouldn’t be given to any other individual or firm. If such thing happened, I should be paid compensation for the same. The compensation would be 20% of the amount I paid for bagging the release rights and a share of the profits. However, Manohar sold the release rights to another firm thereby causing me huge losses.

“When I sought compensation, I was assured by Manohar and Latha that I would be paid the sum after the film’s release. I believed them and allowed the film to release. Though more than six months have gone by since the film’s release, I haven’t been paid the Rs.10.2 crores due to me. I request the police to take appropriate action against Latha and Manohar.”

Wedding Bells for Ileana?

Goa based Indian actress Ileana made her debut with Telugu film Devadasu and made a mark in Tollywood with Pokiri, Jalsa, Kick, Rakhi, Julai, Shakthi and others movies.

After working with stars like Mahesh Babu, Pawan Kalyan, Ravi Teja, NTR and Allu Arjun, Ileana tested her luck in Kollywood with Kedi and Vijay's Nanban in Shankar direction.

Clearing all the barriers, Ileana stepped into Bollywood with Anurag Basu directed Ranbir Kapoor's Barfi. From then the diva has no turning back and is busy with back to back Hindi films.

We hear Ileana is looking forward to her wedding, as the actress turns 28 by this November 1st. There were also reports that stated she underwent a secret marriage with her boyfriend Australian-Photographer Andrew Kneebone infront of her close friends and family.

However, neither Ileana nor her representatives have come up with an announcement or statement of denial regarding her wedding.

Meeting Rajinikanth A Lifetime Achievement: Sampoornesh

“Meeting superstar Rajinikanth is like a lifetime achievement award for me. I will cherish it for for ever," Sampoornesh said.

Actor Sampoornesh Babu may not have received a lifetime achievement award yet but the newcomer describes the moment he met superstar Rajinikanth as equivalent to that.
Sampoornesh met Rajinikanth here Saturday on the sets of upcoming Tamil actioner “Lingaa”, being shot at Ramoji Film City.
“I’m just an ordinary actor. Meeting superstar Rajinikanth is like a lifetime achievement award for me. I will cherish it for for ever,” Sampoornesh told IANS.
The actor had his meeting photographed and posted the picture on his Twitter page.
Sampoornesh became an overnight star with his Telugu spoof comedy “Hrudaya Kaleyam”. He is currently working on a film in the same language titled “Kobbari Matta”.

Nagarjuna's N Convention Centre Encroached Lake Land

Nag's N-Convention Centre at Tammidi Kunta lake

After conducting a detailed land survey of Tammidi Kunta in Madhapur, both the revenue department and Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) have come to the conclusion that about three acres of the lake land have been encroached upon by N Convention Centre owned by actor Akkineni Nagarjuna.
The survey was taken up by the revenue and GHMC (irrigation wing) on Saturday. Survey of the 29 acre Tammid Kunta, including the buffer zone, began at 9 am and completed by 1 pm by when the boundaries of the lake were marked.

“Our survey revealed that N Convention Centre extends to about 1.12 acre inside the Full Tank Level (FTL) of the lake while another two acres of the building falls in the buffer zone of the lake. “As per rules, no building is permitted to come up either in the FTL area or the buffer zone,” K Vidyasagar, tehsildar of Serilingampally mandal.

Irrigation authorities, who were part of the lake land survey, said the construction was not uniform. At some places, the projection was 50 metres from the FTL and at some places it was 24 metres. Officials said no other construction was found in the lake bed area. The survey map would be superimposed on the original map of the lake available with the additional director (survey and land records) of Ranga Reddy district to have more clarity on the land.

TV Anchor Anusree Complaint Against Lover

TV Anchor files Complaint against LOVER

Telugu TV Anchor Anusree lodged complaint against her boyfriend Arjun on Thursday for allegedly cheating her in the name of love. She complained, Arjun has been refusing to marry after being in a live-in relationship for the past 5 years.    

Anusree grew suspicious as Arjun began avoiding her in the recent past. Few days ago, She came to know that Arjun is planning to tie the knot with another girl in Visakhapatnam on Saturday.

On Thursday night, Anusree reached Sanjeeva Reddy (SR) Nagar police station and filed a complaint against Arjun. A team of cops left to Vizag to take Arjun into custody.

Southern Edition of Filmfare Awards to be Held in July

Deepika Padukone and Kamal Haasan at the 59th Idea Filmfare Awards 2011 (South) event

The 61st Idea Filmfare awards, south edition, will take place here on July 12 in the presence of luminaries from Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam industries. To be held at the Nehru Indoor Stadium of the Sports Development Authority of Tamil Nadu, the event will celebrate and honour the best talent from all the four southern film industries.

"The Idea Filmfare awards South gives us a unique opportunity to connect with our millions of consumers with innovative marketing and engagement programs," Rajat Mukarji, chief corporate affairs officer, Idea Cellular, said in a statement.

The first ever Filmfare awards (South) were held at the prestigious Kalaivanar Arangam here and the venue was then shifted to the distinctive Music Academy. Initially, only Tamil and Telugu films were considered for the awards, but Malayalam and Kannada films became part of the event in 1966 and 1969, respectively.

Nitin the Telangana Mega-Super Star

Unconfirmed news making rounds in filmnagar is that a newly formed Telangana film related body officially approached Hero Nitin to request him to represent Telangana. Nithin is the only successful hero hailing from Telangana seeking remuneration of almost 5 crores and his films doing business over 20 crores ever. The organization felt, he voicing Telangana concerns will have more visibility and do good for Telangana cinema.
           
 Nithin seem to have avoided this delegation and asked his father producer and distributor Sudhakar Reddy to deal with them. Sudhakar Reddy who knows his business well simply requested the delegation not to drag Nithin in to Andhra-Telangana issues. According to him reducing Nithin in to a Telangana hero will limit him to 10 districts. This only means loss of business in Andhra Region which is still 60% of revenues. Hence he feels sensitive to call Nithin a “Telangana hero”. Nithin who himself is a Pawan Kalyan fan and offered to join Janasena by contributing generousely may not like to call himself a Telangana hero and distance himself from the rest of the industry.

I never met Sharmila: Prabhas

Over the past several months there have been many rumours concerning my health. My family members and close friends have received numerous phone calls from well wishers wanting to know if my health was OK, if I was in Coma or seriously injured etc. which has been painful to the say the least to my family.

There have also been several embarrassing rumours about my alleged relationship with Ms. Y. S. Sharmila. I would like to categorically state that I have never met or spoken to Ms. Y. S. Sharmilla and the rumours in circulation are completely baseless and have not even an iota of truth in them.

Earlier, I have not responded seriously to rumours concerning my health, hoping that they would fade away. I felt that ignoring these rumours was the best way to deal with them. However, I can't ignore rumours, which affect another individual and I have now decided to issue this statement, to strongly condemn them. They are insensitive, disrespectful and are damaging to the dignity and reputation of a well-respected individual who is married and a mother as well.

As you all know, I have no political interests. I am only issuing this statement as I am deeply hurt and I can understand the pain and trauma that can be caused to an individual by these kinds of baseless rumours and I am willing to do whatever is necessary to put and end to them once and for all.

I hope the Police and concerned authorities will take necessary action against individuals responsible for perpetuating and spreading these kinds of rumours specific to this case and in general as they have potential to cause irreparable damage to the reputation of concerned individuals.

Sincerely,

Prabhas Sunday, June 15, 14

Yes, Genelia is Pregnant: Riteish Deshmukh

So the rumours were true. Hubby Riteish Deshmukh has confirmed to a leading daily that his wife and actress Genelia D'Souza is pregnant. When asked about the rumours around Genelia's pregnancy, he said, "Yes, she is and we are looking forward to the baby and are very excited about it."

Speculations of the couple on family way started when Genelia skipped several award shows and public events.

In past few months, she was seen only at Yellow's promotional event, produced by Riteish Deshmukh and at Hawa Hawaii premiere, where people couldn't help but notice her baby bump. The couple married in 2012 after dating for almost a decade. We wish them all the good luck and joy.

Stage Getting Ready For Pawan Kalyan's Political Party Launch

It is already known to everyone that Power Star Pawan Kalyan has planned to hold press meet to make his political interest clear. But very few are aware about the the date and place of Telugu actor's meeting. If we are to go the reports, this special meeting will take place in Hyderabad on March 14. Currently, a few members from Pawan's team are looking after all arrangements for this historical event. Reports suggest that the arrangements for Pawan Kalyan's much-awaited press meet are under brisk progress. Pawan's close associates like Trivikram Srinivas and a few others are supervising the works. The actor is said to have already sent out invitations to a few senior fans, who will meet him in the city on March 13. He is likely to have a discussion with fans a day before announcing his plans publicly.

A sources from the industry claim that Pawan Kalyan has planned to launch a political party, but his party is not interested to come to power. The actor wants to serve the people and he need some like minded people, who will fight for common man in the Assembly and Parliament. He has some ideals about how political parties must run and he will use these people to ensure that promises are kept and justice is done to the people.

Chinmayi thanks A R Rahman for Idhayam

Chinmayi 

Popular singer and dubbing artist, Chinmayi is on cloud nine these days, thanks to the response which her song in Rajinikanth starred Kochadaiiyaan has been getting of late. She song 'Idhayam' in the Tamil version of the album and she sang the same song in the Telugu version of the album as well. Almost everyone in the industry, right from Trisha to yesteryear actresses like Radhika have appreciated Chinmayi for her splendid job.

Overwhelmed with the response for her song, she took to her page on a popular social networking site to express her gratitude. "Its been a couple of days since Idhayam released and I can definitely say no song, so far, has gotten me this sort of a response online and offline. I am grateful to Rahman sir. There is no way I can repay the graces he has extended to me by making me sing his compositions. Grateful that I got to sing one more song in thalaivar's film. Grateful to Soundarya too, that she retained the song in my voice in the film. Grateful that there is so much love. In all, grateful for everything right now. Thank you. (sic)," she said.

Is Pawan Kalyan’s Political Party A Chiranjeevi's Gimmick?

Power Star Pawan Kalyan's plan to enter politics and start own political party has sparked a huge debate in the state and national media. Several speculations are being made on the next move of the No 1 Tollywood actor. A section of people opine that his new party may be the trick of Megastar Chiranjeevi, who might have planned to show the power of his Mega family to the Congress party, which has sidelined him. Read: Pawan Kalyan's political party name revealed Lot has been written and spoken about Pawan Kalyan's career in politics, but his brother Chiranjeevi, whom the Power Star adores lot, has kept mum on the issue. He has not spoken a single word about him. While many are surprised by his silence, a few experts think that it might be Chiru's intentional act to turn the heads in the political arena.

Chiranjeevi plunged into politics during the last assembly elections. Like late NT Rama Rao, he launched his own party called Praja Rajyam Party to become Chief Minister, but he failed in his attempt as his party was able to win only 18 seats. Later, he merged his party with the Congress, hoping to realise his dream. Though he was given Union Tourism ministry, he was said to be not happy with it. Another big disappointment for him was the bifurcation of the state. Chiranjeevi was always against the division. He had met Congress supremo Sonia Gandhi several times and requested her to keep the state united. But the party ignored his wish and sidelined him during division of the state, for which the actor-turned-politician had to face lot of criticism in Seemandhra and his Mega family movies were affected by it. Experts feel that Congress has defamed and crushed Chiranjeevi in the Seemandhra region. It is taking advantage of his innocence. So he might have come up with the idea of launching a new party through his adorable brother Pawan Kalyan. The Power Star respects Chiru a lot and he hardly speaks in the public functions when the latter is present. Such person will never dare to stand against his brother. It must be definitely Chiranjeevi's gimmick.

Pawan Kalyan to float political party?

The actor is continuing to play the political cards close to his chest. The very mention of Pawan Kalyan brings to mind, images of a maverick -- non-conformist, rebel and one-of-a-kind actor. While rumours of his political ‘arangetram’ are flying high and thick, the actor is continuing to play the political cards close to his chest. Director Trivikram Srinivas, a close friend of Mr. Kalyan, says nothing has fructified yet. “He has got political ambitions. The cloud of uncertainty hanging over his plans will blow away soon,” says the ace director of blockbuster movie ‘Atharintiki Daaredi.’ A few persons very close to the actor assert that he would certainly float a new party.

“He is even planning to field new faces in select Assembly segments across Telangana and Seemandhra regions. He is likely to choose Malkajgiri Parliamentary constituency for himself to enter the poll fray,” an insider in the actor’s camp revealed. While Mr. Kalyan is weighing his options before taking the plunge into active politics, the fact that he has been in the forefront voicing his opinion on issues of public importance cannot be wished away. He was seen venting his ire against “inadequacies and inequalities” in society at various public fora. After joining hands with his elder brother Chiranjeevi to float the Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) in 2008, the actor directed his energies to form ‘Yuva Rajyam,’ a youth force. But soon, the disillusioned actor snapped ties with the PRP. He later went on to form ACF, Anti-Corruption Force. The speculations surrounding the new party notwithstanding, a digital media organisation ‘WhackedOut Media’ ran three social media opinion polls on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. In the poll as to whether they wanted the actor to enter politics, 60 per cent of respondents wanted to see him as an actor and while 15 per cent wanted him to don the political robes and 25 per cent wanted both.

While 11.9 per cent wanted him to launch a political party, those who wanted him to join none were 21.6 per cent. Respondents who wanted him to join the Telugu Desam were pegged at 22.4 per cent while 16.6 per cent wanted him to go with the Lok Satta. Meanwhile, the actor is busy with pre-production work on ‘Gabbar Singh 2.’ He is also working on the Telugu version of Bollywood movie ‘Oh My God!’ which he will co-star with actor Venkatesh.

Shruti To Take Legal Action

Shruti To Take Legal Action Against Rangacharis On D-Day

Actress Shruti Haasan and Nikhil Advani are both planning to dissociate themselves from DAR Motion Pictures, the producers of DDay. The film is also being released in Tamil as Dawood. Nikhil, who co-produced the film with the Rangacharis, is upset that the rights of the film were sold without his knowledge.

He says, "I am shocked and disappointed to learn about the irresponsible way my film D-Day is being released in Tamil. We have not been consulted by the exploitation rights holders on making alterations to the marketing material. And the Tamil version of the film being titled Dawood is mischievous and misleading. We are examining the matter and may be forced to act legally."

Shruti says she too plans to take action against the makers. She says, "I'm dissociating myself from the Tamil version of D-Day as it is being done without my consent and this is a clear breach of contract. In fact, we will be taking legal action on this issue." The paperwork is currently underway.
