Varun Tej Speaks On Chiranjeevi & Pawan Kalyan

Mega hero Varun Tej has described himself as his Pedananna Chiranjeevi’s “pet”. He seconds the opinion of Sushmitha Konidela, who recently said that Megastar was never this happier ever since he bid adieu to cinema to join politics, returning from the shoot tired, but with a smile on his face.

As for Babai Pawan Kalyan, Varun has fond memories as a child & a teenager. Saying that Powerstar had once bought for him a toy gun while returning from Switzerland, the Mister & Fida actor informs that the thinking Babai instilled in him (and Sai Dharam Tej) a lot of values.

Vishal’s Heroic Act In Thupparivalan

Actor & Nadigar Sangam General Secretary Vishal is presently shooting for director Mysskin’s spy thriller flick Thupparivalan. The shooting has been happening for the past few days in Puliyur Housing Board quarters located in Kodambakkam, Chennai.

Thanu To Produce Kabali Sequel

Veteran Producer Kalaipuli. S. Thanu delivered one of the biggest blockbusters of his illustrious career this year with Kabali which is also his maiden production venture with his long time friend Superstar Rajinikanth in the lead role. Thanu has recently registered the title Kabali 2. This clearly sends out the signal that the producer plans to make a sequel for this Malaysian Don flick directed by Pa. Ranjith.
Another conclusion that one can arrive with this development is that director Ranjith’s 2nd film with Rajinikanth that will be produced by Dhanush will not be the sequel to Kabali as speculated initially and it will be a fresh script.

Popular Tamil Heroine In Vedalam

Thala Ajith’s blockbuster Vedalam will be remade in Telugu by producer A. M. Ratnam. The remake will be directed by R. T. Neason of Jilla fame with Pawan Kalyan reprising the lead role played by Ajith. The hero’s younger sister’s character had a vital role in Vedalam and it was played with full conviction by Lakshmi Menon. The Telugu version will have Anandi in this powerful character. Anandi has acted as the female lead in Kayal, Trisha Illana Nayanthara, Enakku Innoru Per Irukku & Kadavul Irukaan Kumaru. The makers are considering a few leading heroines to play the female lead character played by Shruti Haasan in the original.

Aishwarya & Dhanush Take The Same Route

The talented husband & wife duo Dhanush & Aishwarya R. Dhanush, apart from being a cute couple in real life also seem to share the same aesthetic tastes in art too. Dhanush for his directorial debut Power Pandi has chosen the behind the lives, struggles & pain of movie stuntmen. Dhanush himself plays a stuntman who in his elderly age is played by Rajkiran. Aishwarya R. Dhanush is currently directing the documentary Cinema Veeran which has the voice over rendered by Superstar Rajinikanth. The core subject of this documentary also deals with movie stuntmen & their lives. Both the projects of the husband & wife duo will see release in a grand manner in 2017.

Mega Hero As Brahmin

Allu Arjun’s character in DJ – Duvvada Jagannadham, the Harish Shankar – Dil Raju film, sees the Mega hero in a character with 2 contrasting shades, one of them being that of a Brahmin youth. As Bunny is playing such a traditional – looking (?) character for the 1st time, there has been speculation as to whether he will be seen as a priest like how NTR was seen in V. V. Vinayak’s laugh riot Adhurs. The lead pair (Pooja Hegde of Mukunda, Oka Laila Kosam and the Hindi film Mohenjo Daro is the female lead) are reported to be currently filming for this crazy project in the famed locales of Hyderabad’s Old City.

Anandhi Bags R. T. Neason directorial

Warangal girl Anandhi of Bus Stop fame, who went on to act in entertainers like Priyathama Neevachata Kushalama in Telugu and a couple of Tamil hits, has been roped in to play Pawan Kalyan’s sister in the film to be produced by A. M. Ratnam. A remake of Ajith’s blockbuster Vedalam, this is to be directed by R. T. Neason of Jilla fame with Power Star reprising the lead role played by Ajith. The hero’s younger sister’s character had a vital role in Vedalam and it was played with full conviction by Lakshmi Menon.

Biju Menon Gets An Advice

Biju Menon is someone who celebrates friendship irrespective of their positions they hold. On film sets he mixes with everyone so freely starting from directors to the production boy of the unit. In an interview the actor recently revealed the advice given by actor Dileep when his film Ordinary became a super hit. He called the actor and said that now onwards you will start making enemies. The actor noticed that it was true when his films became a hit one by one. He slowly started losing friends. According to the actor it is mainly because when director & scriptwriters come with a story or plot and if he says no they naturally starts disliking him & stop talking.

National Geographic’s Afghan girl to undergo treatment in Bengaluru

November 14, 2016 by Nasheman

afghan-girl

New Delhi: Afghan woman Sharbat Gula, the iconic face of refugee struggle who was deported from Pakistan a few days ago, will soon travel to India for medical treatment.

Sharbat became the worldwide face of refugee struggle after her photograph appeared in the National Geographic Magazine in 1984. She was deported to Afghanistan on Wednesday on charges of falsifying identity papers.

Sharbat, a mother of three, is said to undergo treatment at a Bengaluru hospital. In her 40s now, she has been offered free treatment by the Union government.

“The iconic Afghan Sharbat Gula will soon be in India for medical treatment free of cost — Thank you India for being a true friend!,” Afghan ambassador Shaida Abdali tweeted.

Sharbat, popularly known as the ‘Afghan girl’, is reportedly suffering from Hepatitis C, besides having some other health issues.

Sharbat’s image, with piercing green eyes, photographed by award winning photographer Steve McCurry, was made the face of refugee crisis in Afghanistan.

Sudden note ban has led to ‘financial chaos’, say bank unions

November 14, 2016 by Nasheman

atm

Vadodara: Two leading bank unions today criticised the government over demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes, saying the move has led to “financial chaos” across the country. In a letter to Indian Banks’ Association (IBA), All India Bank Officers’ Association (AIBOA) and All India Bank Employees Association (AIBEA) said the decision to withdraw the high-value notes was taken without proper planning or preparation.

They also highlighted heavy work pressure on employees and officers at bank branches in the wake of demonetisation which has led to customers rushing to exchange the now defunct notes. “Chaotic situation is prevailing at the bank branches and this is unbearable for both customers as well as bank employees and officers,” S Nagarajan, General Secretary of AIBOA, and C H Venkatachalam, his counterpart at AIBEA, said in the letter to IBA, the apex body of bank managements.

There is a huge shortage of Rs 100 notes which are now in great demand for routine needs, while most customers are not willing to accept the new Rs 2,000 bill, they said. “The Centre and the Reserve Bank must be fully aware that already there is a huge gap between the indent and supply of Rs 100 notes.

“For example, in 2015-16, as against the indent of 535 crore pieces of Rs 100 notes, the supply received was only to the tune of 490 crore pieces,” according to the letter. “One cannot understand the reason behind banning the existing Rs 500 notes and not providing new supply of Rs 500 notes in time,” it added.

Most of the 2.20 lakh ATMs across the country are closed or partly functional. This has put additional pressure on the staff and customers are compelled to visit branches to withdraw cash from their accounts, the two unions said.

Nagarajan and Venkatachalam requested the IBA to ensure the RBI supplies adequate cash in denominations of Rs 100 and new Rs 500 notes to ease pressure on banks and provide relief to customers.

Rs 3 cr deposited in BJP account before demonetisation in West Bengal

November 12, 2016 by Nasheman

bjp-bengal

Kolkata: The West Bengal unit of the CPM today alleged that a huge amount of cash was deposited in the bank account of the state unit of the BJP. The deposits were made immediately before Prime Minister Narendra Modi demonetised Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes on November 8, said CPM general secretary Surya Kanta Mishra, citing a media report.

A report published in the CPM mouthpiece, ‘Ganashakti’, today claimed that Rs 1 crore (in denomination of Rs 1,000 and Rs 500) was deposited at the Central Avenue branch of Indian Bank here on November 8. The money (in transactions of Rs 60 lakh and Rs 40 lakh) was deposited in a savings account no 554510034, which is in the name of the West Bengal unit of the BJP.

The report further said while Rs 75 lakh was deposited in a current account (63652513881) belonging to the West Bengal BJP unit in the same bank on November 1, Rs 1.25 crore was deposited in the same account on November 5. A total of Rs 3 crore had been deposited bank accounts of the BJP in six days preceding November 8, Mishra said.

However, a BJP spokesman brushed aside CPM charges and said, “When funds are deposited in bank accounts, the party exposes itself to scrutiny by the Election Commission and the Income Tax Department.”

Protests against Donald Trump’s win turn violent

Protests in the US against Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s election victory have turned violent as demonstrators take to the streets for a second day.

Thousands of protesters on Thursday threw objects at police in Portland, Oregon, and damaged a car park, the Portland Police Department said on Twitter.

Some protesters sprayed graffiti on cars and buildings and destroyed shop windows, local media in Portland reported.

“Many in the crowd are trying to get anarchist groups to stop destroying property, anarchists refusing. Others encouraged to leave area,” the department said on Twitter after declaring the demonstration a riot.

As thousands of people marched, some vandalised shop windows, lit firecrackers and set waste bins on fire.

An estimated 4,000 protesters chanted “We reject the president-elect!”, with some throwing objects at police, prompting several arrests.

On the East Coast, protests occurred in Washington DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York, while on the West Coast demonstrators rallied in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Oakland in California besides Portland.

Dozens in Minneapolis marched on to Interstate 94, blocking traffic in both directions for at least an hour as police stood by.

A smaller band of demonstrators briefly halted traffic on a busy Los Angeles freeway before police cleared them off.

Baltimore police reported about 600 people marched through the downtown Inner Harbor area, with some blocking roadways by sitting in the street.

Two people were arrested, police said.

In Denver, a crowd that media estimated to number about 3,000 gathered on the grounds of the Colorado state capitol and marched through downtown in one of the largest of Thursday’s events.

Hundreds also demonstrated in Dallas.

Thursday’s gatherings were generally smaller in scale and less intense than Wednesday’s, and teenagers and young adults again dominated the racially mixed crowds.

“Just had a very open and successful presidential election. Now professional protesters, incited by the media, are protesting. Very unfair!” Trump said in on Twitter on Thursday night.

Police pitched special security barricades around two Trump marquee properties that have become focal points of the protests – his newly opened Pennsylvania Avenue Hotel in Washington DC and Trump Tower, where he lives in Manhattan.

In the nation’s capital, about 100 protesters marched from the White House, where Trump had his first transition meeting with President Barack Obama on Thursday, to the Trump International Hotel several blocks away.

At least 200 people rallied there after dark, many of them chanting “No hate! No fear! Immigrants are welcome here!” and carrying signs with such slogans as “Impeach Trump” and “Not my president”.

Trump supporters say the protesters are not respecting the democratic process.

As of Thursday, Hillary Clinton, the Democratic Party candidate, was leading Trump in votes nationwide 47.7 percent to 47.5 percent, but Trump secured victory in the Electoral College.
