Lakshmi Manchu is playing an upright judge’s character here. The title is because her character is as explosive as the Deepavali’s “Lakshmi Bomb”. Sunil Kashyap is composing the music.

Nayanthara Is 2 In 1

The going may not have been great in Telugu, what with Babu Bangaram coming a cropper, but the Numero uno star Nayanthara currently has an enviable line -up of women – centric films in Tamil – Dora, Aramm (where she is playing a District Collector) and others which are in the talks. She is also playing an all – important role in the Atharvaa – Raashi Khanna starrer Imaikka Nodigal. In Imaikka Nodigal, directed by Ajay Gnanamuthu, Nayan plays the mother of a 4 – year – old, which has surprised many in the industry as not many heroines of her age would be ready to play a mom, especially down South.

Naga’s Clarification Stance

There are 3 Krishnas: Kalyan Krishna, Mohankrishna & just Krishna. Forget the 3rd one, for he is not directing Naga Chaitanya’s scheduled outing with Suresh Productions. Ignore the 1st for now, for he has very much been in, filming eagerly with the Akkineni star. The 2nd Krishna, a entleman – ly director, is the one who will direct Chay’s next. Any reports contrary to this are reportedly, patently untrue. To be produced by Sai Korrapati of Vaarahi Chalana Chitram, the Indraganti film will go on the floors in Feb, 2017. Make no mistake, there is no Chandrasekhar Yeleti around. After all, why would Chay say ”Manam Cinema Cheddam” to Yeleti, whatever may be his “Premam” for “Sahasam”?

Old Rs 500 notes valid for fuel and air ticket purchase till Dec 2

December 1, 2016 by Nasheman

500-notes

New Delhi: The government has cut short the deadline of using old Rs 500 notes at petrol pumps and for buying airline tickets at airports till December 2 instead of December 15 announced earlier.

With effect from December 3, 2016, old Rs 500 notes cannot be used for purchase of petrol, diesel and gas at the stations operating under authorisation of public sector oil marketing companies and for buying airline tickets at airport counters, a government notification said.

While junking old 500 and 1,000 rupee notes on November 8, the government had allowed their use for utility bill payments for 72 hours.

This deadline was extended twice and when the last one was to expire on November 24, it amended it to state that only the old 500 rupee notes could be used for payment of utility bills like electricity and water, school fees, pre-paid mobile top-up, fuel purchase and airline ticket booking.

While the old note will continue to be accepted for the other utility bill payments as well as at railway ticketing counters and counters of government or public sector undertaking buses for purchase of bus tickets till December 15, it will be discontinued for purchase of fuel and airline tickets at airport counters.

Also, the government has dropped earlier announced plan to allow the use of 500 rupee notes for payment of toll at national highways from December 3.

Toll payment in both old 500 and 1,000 rupee notes was accepted till December 2 and from December 3 it was to be limited in 500 rupee notes. But now this facility too has been withdrawn.

From December 3, fuel purchase, airline ticket booking at airport counters and highway toll payment would be allowed only in lower denomination currency or the new 500 and 2,000 rupee notes.

Sources said the move to curtail use of old notes at petrol pumps and highway toll plazas follows reports of the facility being misused to launder black money.
