The Telangana Rashtra Samithi’s attempt to create troubles within the Congress party in the state by planting a story in the media indicating that one of its MLAs is joining the ruling party has backfired.
Finally, the production team of Agnyathavasi, starring power star Pawan Kalyan, managed to get permission to run one special show of the film for a week in Telangana as well, after intense lobbying with the Telangana Rashtra Samithi government.
Surprising as it might seem, Telangana Rashtra Samithi president chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has become a hot favourite for backward classes in Andhra Pradesh, following his announcement that he would nominate two BCs, including a Yadav, for the Rajya Sabha seats, elections for which will be held in April.
It is now official. The Andhra Pradesh government issued an order (Memo No. 3829/General.A/A2/2017) on Monday, accorded permissions to the managements of theatres and multiplexes to screen special shows of Agnyathavasi on the eve of Sankranti festival from January 10 to 17 between 1 am and 10 am in the entire state.
The ugly war of words in social media between controversial Telugu film critic Kathi Mahesh and fans of power star Pawan Kalyan has provided a lot of fodder to some television channels, but political observers are trying to assess whether the controversy would benefit or damage the political prospects of the mega hero.
What is the reason for Kathi Mahesh targeting only Pawan Kalyan for the last few months, when there were several other actors whose films have triggered controversies or failed at the box office and many others who failed to achieve success in politics?
The Andhra Pradesh government headed by N Chandrababu Naidu is learnt to have quietly issued an order allowing the theatres in the state to screen the forthcoming film of power star and Jana Sena Party president Pawan Kalyan -- “Agyathavasi” -- round the clock for the first one week.
Praveen Pudi is one the top and highly rated film editor in Tollywood and Chandra Bose is among the top lyricists in the industry. So talented is music director Mickey J Mayor, who has his own style in composing music.
The sudden call from Prime Minister’s Office to Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu for a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on January 12 came as a big surprise for the political circles in the state.
Film critic Kathi Mahesh is the hot news in the film and media circles these days. Reason is simple.
The death of a village revenue assistant of Marthad village of Kamareddy district when he was allegedly mowed down a sand tractor has once again landed the Telangana Rasthra Samithi government in the most embarrassing situation once again.
Controversial film critic Kathi Mahesh is going a little overboard in taking on actor and Jana Sena Party president Pawan Kalyan just for the sake of being in the news, if his latest comments and challenges are any indication.
Governor E S L Narasimhan, who was facing charges of being a strong opponent of Telangana formation, has become a hot favourite of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi government in the last three and a half years.
If one were to go by the fate of various CBI cases in different states, it appears it is only a matter of time that YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, too, would get out of the alleged illegal assets cases being probed by the investigating agency in the Hyderabad court.
It will be a big bonanza for the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi in Rajya Sabha in the next three months.
