Ram Charan managed Chiru's absence

The audio launch of 'Maaveeran' is a special moment for Chiranjeevi because his son Ram Charan is having the first step forward into Kollywood. Unluckily sudden demise of Sathya Sai Baba made mega star to bunk the program in Chennai on Sunday, which made Ram Charan to play the host with Allu Aravind, Allu Sirish and Rajamouli standing besides him.  According to the sources, no dubbing film had such a big launch in Tamilnadu till date. This magnificent audio launch event was graced by legendary Kamal Hassan, Mr and Mrs. Maniratnam. Speaking to the guests, Ram Charan shared his relation with Chennai where he did schooling and also claimed that he can speak and understand Tamil language. Chiranjeevi always wanted his son to do Tamil films while idea of 'Maaveeran' also belonged to him. Calling this film as a perfect pack of mass elements, Ram Charan expressed his future plan to do a direct Tamil film in year end with a noted director. As dignitaries on the stage blessed Ram Charan for a success, it was all the way a thorough professional show from mega power star.

Chiranjeevi's Shocking Talent @ Alcohol

These days, Chiranjeevi might be facing some strong brickbats with the decisions he takes but those who know him from his early days have a completely different perspective. Well, he is not a megastar by fate and they say he has few unique talents which is rare to find in others. Here is one such thing.

Recently, a close friend of Chiru from many years who is also his drink buddy revealed “Chiru has got a special talent. Just with smell he will tell which brand of drink it is. And he can also predict whether it is real or fake in one sniff. Few times, we tried to check how true he is and shockingly, he was right at all times.”

The friend added “This is a shocking talent Chiru has, no one knows how he does it. Many times it was proven right. Also, it is real fun when he is in his lighter moods and that he gets when we sit for a ‘session’. Right now, Chiru must be going through few hard times but these are few things for which he will always be remembered…”

Super Stars gracing Mega Power Star

Allu Aravind and Chiranjeevi were although a bit late in releasing 'Maaveeran'(Tamil version of Magadheera), finally the Ram Charan's flick will be hitting the Tamil screens in this summer.  We already know that Tollywood's industry hit 'Magadheera' is dubbed into Tamil as 'Maaveeran' while Geetha Arts is allied with Udayanidhi Stalin's Red Giant Movies in planning this giant Kollywood release. Audio launch of 'Maaveeran' was scheduled to be held last week (16th April) in presence of Super Star Rajinikanth but called off at last minute due to unforeseen reasons. Finally, audio album will be released today at Adyar Park, Chennai at 7PM with Mega Star Chiranjeevi, Versatile actor Kamal Hassan and maverick director Mani Ratnam gracing the occasion as chief guests. Massive response to trailers of 'Maaveeran' aired in cinema halls will be a positive sign before audio release. Being the potential blockbuster, there is every probability that Ram Charan will rewrite old records even in Kollywood.

Mega Fans Demands To Chiru

The situation in the mega camp has been going through various twists and turns everyday. While the buzz is still on about the clash within the mega family, it is now heard that fans of Chiranjeevi are now coming together and putting forward their demands. Here are few details from a mega fan who is also the secretary of the fans association in Guntur district.

 

He said “Megastar is keeping his ‘Thammullu’ away and getting close to Allu Aravind. Fans are not at all happy with that. During elections and the time for forming the Praja Rajyam party, it was Allu Aravind who was responsible for ditching the fans. Before that, he upset us by releasing Allu Arjun’s film ‘Parugu’ without allowing 100 days completion of ‘Chirutha’.”

 

The fans secretary added “Films-wise, Politics-wise Allu Aravind is jacking Chiranjeevi in a big way and it is time Chiru realizes that. From our end, we are already making our thoughts clear to Chiru and hope he understands the pulse of his fans.” Wonder what Chiranjeevi has to say to all this now.

Mega Star forcing Srija and Pawan Kalyan

Keeping the chaste political interests of Chiranjeevi before his joining in Congress Party, he does not want any internal disturbances to occur in his family. Perhaps media is opening the blanket to reveal secrets behind disturbed marital life of Srija and reasons for being Pawan Kalyan staying miles away from his big brother. As technical formalities of Praja Rajyam merging into Congress are not completed, there is always a danger of entire business to backfire if family wars become public. Internal news making rounds in industry is that Chiranjeevi is forcing Srija to stay away from media hiding in Chennai. On the other side Pawan Kalyan is also requested not to further discuss the family matters related to Allu Aravind openly before the political vaccum in Praja Rajyam is completely filled. Although everything looks normal and simple from outside but Konidela family is going through hardships that might come to an end in next few months. Let us see how many does Chiranjeevi can coercively hold Srija and Pawan Kalyan.

Behind The Scene: Mega risk for Cheeru

Chiranjeevi our Mega star who is a big flop in politics was very reluctant to campaign in Kadapa. But he was forced by the High Command to go and campaign in Kadapa.

In fact it will be his first assignment for Congress party as a campaigner in Kadapa election. His campaign will be in two spells in Kadapa.

It is learnt that one film writer is scripting the speech for Chiru to be used in Kadapa.

But people within Congress say that he was unable to win the election in his home town Palakollu and what earthshaking effect he can provide in Kadapa is a big question. But the equation of Congress is different.

They want chiru to mould the Kapu votes and Balija community people for the Congress. That is the main target.

There are a good number of people from Chiru community in this area and Congress wants to encash on this.

Moreover both DL and Viveka are duds when it comes to crowd pulling, they lack oratory skills and they can just present facts and call Jagan a corrupt man.

But one has to play on the sentiment of the people and Chiru can do this.

In fact this will be an acid test for the skill of Chiu as a crowd puller for the Congress. Congress circles say if Chiru can draw crowds that would be enough to send alarm signals for Jagan they say. Taking the summer heat and the election heat in Kadapa, it is not easy for Chiru this time. But his berth for Rajyasabha and central ministry is reserved in place of Nedurumalli from the state.

Nedurmalli is all set to become a governor soon? But if Jagan wins then it could be mega risk for Cheeru.

Chiru Loves Only F-Journalists!!

If you thought that it is only the lovely smile of Juhi Chawla that Chiranjeevi loves the most (well, he recently revealed that during the TSR film awards), then here is something else. Apparently, Chiru has a strong love for only F-journalists. No…they are not female journalists, they are film journalists.

 

A source who is moving close to Chiru informed “Chiranjeevi seems to like Film journalists than political journalists. Usually, the political journos come up with tricky questions and put Chiru in difficult situations and he doesn’t have answers for that. But film journalists are careful since they still deem he is megastar and ask safe questions.”

 

The media circles reveal that usually Chiru is quite proactive towards film journalists and gives detailed answers with a smile. But all that fades as soon as he is mobbed by the political journalists. Some are suggesting perhaps the Congress High Command should give grooming lessons to Chiru on how to handle the political media.

Jokes Cracking On Chiranjeevi In Cuddapah

Ever since Chiranjeevi got into politics, his dialogues, his expressions are making him look like a comedian than a strong superstar. Well, the difference between reel life and real life is like chalk and cheese. While many have realized that fact, it appears that Chiru hasn’t and that has resulted in many jokes making rounds in Cuddapah.

The reason for that is the recent set of statements that Chiru gave in a pressmeet before commencing his tour in Cuddapah. A noted analyst revealed “Chiranjeevi thinks his charisma is still there. Using statements like ‘the high command has sent me’ ‘they know my power’ ‘CM insisted I should go’ Chiru should realize he is doing more of a self- empathizing rather than projecting his stardom.”

Another analyst added “His campaigning couldn’t help him in Palakollu during his debut into politics. What he will do in Cuddapah? Either the Congress camp has totally underestimated the power of Jagan in Cuddapah or they want Chiranjeevi to ‘entertain’ the crowds in a different way using him for canvassing.”

Chiranjeevi's Personal 'Rachcha' Banda

Reading the headline might make you think it is a government program and given Chiranjeevi’s desperation to be part of Congress, it might sound apt. However, what we are talking about is Ramcharan’s new project which has been titled as ‘Rachcha’ and it is heard that Chiru has begun to involve in the project big time.

Sources reveal Chiru is taking personal interest in everything right from cast, crew and he is taking his time at leisure to ensure everything is right. Since Chiru’s involvement looks deep in the film, those associated with the project reveal that it will rock.

After the debacle of ‘Orange’ and the bouts of depression that Ramcharan had to go through because of that, it is heard that Chiranjeevi is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that ‘Rachcha’ creates a Rachcha at the box office and bounces his son into the main track. Let us hope his personal program brings some success then.

Mega Family Breaking Up!!!

One of the most sought after families in the Telugu cinema industry is the mega family comprising of Chiranjeevi and his two brothers Naga Babu, Pawan Kalyan. Then, there is Chiru’s brother-in-law Allu Aravind who plays a key role in their family affairs. While all that is the bright side, it is now being said that cracks have begun to form in the mega camp and differences have crept up due to politics and business.

Buzz is that things are not going fine between Chiru and his two brothers. For starters, it is the blind affinity of Chiru towards brother-in-law Allu Aravind which is growing with each passing day and that has set the trigger. But the larger impact was created due to the political differences. One can recall the active role Nagababu and Pawan Kalyan played during Chiranjeevi’s political debut. The brothers were always there to support the star. However, with Chiru’s recent decision to merge Praja Rajyam Party with the Congress, the brothers were reportedly unhappy.

Incidentally, Pawan Kalyan was all out for PRP and wanted to see his elder brother as the CM in the state. As a result, he spoke vehemently against the ruling Congress party. But now, with Chiru’s merger has left Pawan in an embarassed position, as per sources. Even during the audio launch of “Komaram Puli”, Pawan was all emotional about his big brother. But all that changed at the recent “Teen Maar” audio launch event. Pawan hardly took Chiru’s name and even the megastar was absent. As for Nagababu and Allu Arvind, they came and went in few moments. This comes as a surprise as the family used to heap praises on each other at an event like this earlier.

While politics is one side, even business seems to have created issues between the brothers. Notably, it was the flop of “Orange” which made Nagababu, the film’s producer keep distance from Chiru. The film was made on Anjana Productions, a banner launched by the three brothers and named after their mother Anjana.  Buzz is that the flop of ‘Orange’ caused Nagababu financial losses. On the other hand, Chiru was fuming about the overshooting budget and the delay in release. In this process, Nagababu got closer to younger brother Pawan.

However, this has not stopped Pawan from doing his next film ‘Gabbar Singh’ in his newly launched banner and not in the regular Anjana productions banner. Pawan would be producing his own film. But then, Naga Babu from his end has reportedly given covering stating Chiru is busy with politics and there are no such cracks in the mega family. As for films being made in different banners, he said that Anjana Productions was always with him and anyone is welcome to release their film under his banner. He justified Pawan’s move to have his own production house and quashed about any differences.

Another example for the breakup symptoms is the recent wedding celebrations of Allu Arjun, son of Allu Aravind. While Chiranjeevi and his family were seen taking an active part throughout the week, Pawan Kalyan and Nagababu made a guest appearance and that too only on the wedding day. The final twist in the tale is Allu Aravind’s growing influence on Chiranjeevi. He produced several films with Chiranjeevi, Pawan Kalyan, Allu Arjun and Charan on his “Geetha Arts” banner. Also, Aravind is a noted film distributor. But for “Teen Maar” sources say Aravind did not show much interest in the distribution of this flick.

An open secret is that Chiranjeevi doesn’t make a single move without consulting Aravind, his ‘right hand man’. So much that even his own brothers have to take an appointment from Aravind to meet Chiranjeevi, as per sources. Even Chiru’s decision to merge with the Congress was reportedly on behest of Allu. Sources further add that Pawan Kalyan and Nagababu are planning to join politics soon. The chances are that they might join a national party.

In view of all this, the buzz is that the mega brothers have few chances of bonding. In Andhra Pradesh, where fan following is based on either the caste of the star or his lineage, this will cause a deep dent in the fan base, as per observers. With time as the answer for all problems, even this would be known in the days to come.

Based on TOI Story

Will Dutt Get Mega Dates Again?

Ashwni Dutt is known for two good reasons. One is for setting successful on screen combinations while the other is for doing great films with Chiranjeevi. He also made Ram Charan’s debut film ‘Chirutha’. But not known what bug had bitten him, he wanted to make ‘Shakti’ in competition with Magadheera. But that turned out to be the biggest mishap ever known. But still, he promoted that by comparing with ‘Robo’ which became another comedy of the season.

Sources say that Ashwini Dutt developed a hiatus with Chiru family after the announcement of PRP. Ashwini is TDP Pro and hence things didn’t match between the two.

Keeping the political reasons and personal feelings together, observers say that it is difficult for Ashwini Dutt to get dates from heroes of Chiranjeevi family until and unless he gets ready to burn out his entire property on them announcing the biggest project in entire Tollywood history.

City Buzz: PJR's Son Helping Sirish

It is known news that the fairytale love story of Sirish Bharadwaj and Sreeja has hit the rocks with the latter filing a dowry harassment case. While Sirish, the son-in-law of Chiranjeevi has been absconding without a bail here is an update which is making strong rounds among the common friends.

It is heard that Sirish has been taken into protection by Vishnuvardhan, son of the late congress leader P Janardhan Reddy. One can recall that rumors were rife on how Vishnu helped Sirish and Sreeja get married at Arya Samaj. Now, it appears that Vishnu has come to Sirish’s rescue once again.

Talk is that the Jubilee Hills MLA has been helping Sirish stay underground and the cops are still on the search to nab him. While the developments came across as a shock to many, another version is that Sreeja has been brainwashed by Chiru and family members to resort to this extreme step. Let us see what happens…

Can Chiru Make Any Impact On Kadapa?

Latest buzz doing rounds in the political circles is that the Congress high command is planning to depute megastar Chiranjeevi to campaign for the party in Kadapa by-elections.

Chiranjeevi, who recently campaigned for the Congress party in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry assembly elections, is expected to make a whirlwind tour of Kadapa in the last week of April.

The campaign schedule for Chiranjeevi is getting ready, Gandhi Bhavan sources say.

Apparently, the Congress leadership is of the view that Chiranjeevi can make at least a marginal difference for the party prospects with his campaign in Kadapa. It is not only because of his filmy charisma, but also because of the caste factor that Chiranjeevi is expected to make some impact.

There are a large number of Balija votes in Kadapa, which form the solid vote bank of Praja Rajyam Party. And if Chiranjeevi can divert their votes to the Congress, it will reduce the Jagan influence, party sources feel. But the question is whether Chiranjeevi has any spirit left in him to appease the voters.

Now, Hasan Ali Claims Links With Jagan

Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu and soon-to-be wound up Praja Rajyam Party president K Chiranjeevi can now breathe it easy.

For, it is not just these two who were named by money launderer and horse breeder Hasan Ali in the Enforcement Directorate authorities’ interrogation, but there are many others like them.

According to the latest report carried by Delhi-based English tabloid daily “Mail Today,” Hasan Ali had named another former Chief Minister of the state who laundered black money through Hasan Ali has come to light.

The report quoting ED officials says Ali had been introduced to Kashinath Tapuriah, who later became one of his closest aide and advisors, through none other than this former CM.

“For a long time Ali continued to launder money for this politician and after his death, he continued to do so for his son,” it said.

By reading this report between the lines, it is pretty evident that Hasan Ali was speaking about former chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy (who died in 2009) and his son Y S Jaganmohan Reddy. Earlier, Mail Today had reported about Ali’s links with another former CM of AP.

Now, the Congress leaders can target Jagan. Or will they keep quiet like “thieves stung by scorpions” because many more skeletons can tumble out of Hasan Ali’s cup board!

Dasari Envy On Chiru's Kiss

Though he is revered as the senior most and highly regarded film personality in Tollywood, there are many who also say that he is one of the most cunning and egocentric person in film industry. He is none other than Dasari Narayana Rao and it is heard that this Darsakaratna is currently getting choked in a cloud of envy.

The reason for that is the bonding between Chiranjeevi and Mohan Babu. Recently, during an awards event, Chiru hugged and kissed Mohan Babu. Even during Mohan Babu’s birthday celebrations in Tirupathi, Chiru was the special invite and there also he hugged and quoted ‘Tom and Jerry’ to explain their relation.

Now, sources close to Dasari reveal he is dying out of jealousy. They said “All these days he played Sakuni’s role between Chiru and Mohan Babu and preserved his importance by putting ‘Pullalu’ between both. Now, he has lost that opportunity so he is feeling jealous. That’s why he didn’t attend even the TSR- TV9 awards function.”

Believe it or not! Chiru-MB great friends???

From a couple of weeks these are the statements given by acting legend Megastar Chiranjeevi and Dialouge King Legend Mohan Babu. The two tough masters of Tollywood are giving a color that they are the thickest friends in Tinsel Town. Are they joking guys? Apparently, both these superstars of Telugu Film Industry are showing deep affection for each other at almost all public events in the recent past. What remain as a big question for common people are the reasons behind the patching of these two veterans. Few insiders are saying that the duo has started some joint business ventures, while others are saying that YSR's brother (Mohan Babu's daughter-in-law Veronica's father) lobbied between the two as Chiru is a part of Congress family now. Though we cannot simply strike it off as 'kapata prema', there lies a real secret between the shaking hands of these two Legends. An insider stated that both these guys have lost popularity both in films and political circles with their foolish moves. Hence, they are inventing their own ways to garner much publicity and public attention.

Chiru's coaching! Srija's bowling!! Sirish out??

A match whose results are already known to the public much before it happened is none other than this Mega-Cup. The start took many unexpected twists and turns before shaping finally into a war. We are talking about the war between Srija and Sirish Bharadwaj, daughter and son-in-law of Mega Star Chiranjeevi. Earlier, Chiranjeevi has literally collapsed to cry when her second daughter Srija eloped with her friend Sirish Bharadwaj. However, Chiru has got that mega opportunity to settle the scores after years, on the guy who has shattered his 'prestige' in the town. Srija had filed a domestic violence case on Sirish and even anticipatory bail was not granted to him. As per sources, under Chiru's coaching, Srija is using all possible weapons to corner Sirish prior to giving her dad a chance to take revenge on that guy who foolishly ran away with this influential person's daughter. In this war-cup between Srija and Sirish, people are saying that the girl will emerge as a winner under the coaching of Chiru, as the boy will be threatened with dire consequences in-case of going to court and media. Will Sirish do any 'Dhoni' stuff to win this match remains as a supense!

Chiru's Q Time With Surekha

The biggest sacrifice for any celebrity would be no personal time for family and when it comes to super celebs like Chiranjeevi, the impact is double. As a result, it is heard that Chiru was never able to justify spending time with wife Surekha. However, it is now heard that he is kind of making up for all that.

Those who know Chiru from decades say “After entering film industry, Chiru married Surekha but he never got chance to spend time with family. Though he had gaps in between, he was planning on next movies, listening to scripts and was spending time on how he should take his career forward.”

They added “After PRP came, he became even busier. But now, after merging PRP with Congress, Chiru has become idle. As it is, there is not much happening on film front so now he has full free time. As a result, he is spending some Quality time with Surekha. Even her relatives are pulling her leg looking at the new glow in her face and are saying Chiru aa… Majaakaa!!!.”
