Rs 2 Lakhs Robbery At Chiru’s House

A complaint has been lodged against one of the workers in megastar Chiranjeevi’s house named Chinnayya. The culprit is said to have robbed Rs 2 lakhs. While no one doubts the robbery per se, there are doubts about the money involved. Also instead of dealing with Chinnayya in their own style, reporting him in the police station surprised one and all. Rupees 2 lakhs is a big amount, but for someone like Chiranjeevi, it is peanuts, so why then did they complaint against Chinnayya is the big question. In the past, when NTR Sr was in power, money stored in film cans kept vanishing. At the time, a person was arrested. However, later, nothing came out about the matter. This time too, the servant could have been beaten up or sent away, but Chiru’s family chose to put him in jail.

One must say that her Telugu diction & her dialogue delivery are pitch perfect. She is being appreciated by all. Anupama Parmeshwaran who hails from Kerala is just four films old in Telugu Cinema. Yet, she has mastered the Telugu language. She has now decided not to use a dubbing artiste for Telugu dialogues hence forth. She will be dubbing her voice in all the forthcoming movies.

Amala Paul Lands Herself In Trouble

It has become a practice for affluent people to buy luxury cars and register it in Pondicherry or any other union territories to evade huge tax. But when you are a celebrity and under public eye, there is no escape from the Income Tax department’s radar. Amala Paul had recently purchased a Mercedes S Class, which is worth more than Rs 1. 20 cr. To pay a lesser tax, Amala Paul under the advice of people close to her, registered it in the name of an engineering student from Pondicherry and the poor guy has no clue about it. After registering the car in Pondicherry, Amala Paul evaded nearly 20 lakhs tax and drove down to Kochi and started flaunting it. If someone has a car registered in another state but plying in Kerala for more than one year, they have to change the registration number and pay 20% of the total value of the car as tax to the local Government. Amala Paul is yet to react on this allegations spreading about this in the varied media houses.

But the teaser of Athulya Ravi’s upcoming film Yemali has shocked her fans beyond imagination, as they didn’t expect the actress to opt for such extreme glamour and smoking scenes in her second outing. Athulya Ravi has now reacted on her social networking page and profusely apologized to all her fans for her role in the film. Athulya Ravi avers that the scenes shown in the teaser will not be featured in the film but it sounds ridiculous because no director would accept to chop off the scenes which are getting good mileage on YouTube. The actress also thanked a few people for supporting her by sending positive vibes and Athulya Ravi finally avers that she only tried to justify her character in the film.

Anu Emanuel Wants To Settle Down

Some heroines come to Telugu film industry from other film industries and settle here and some heroines get their break in Telugu film industry and later take off to other film industries.

But if things work out, Anu Emanuel avers that she plans to maker her money in Tollywood. “I will remain in Tollywood. I hope to get good offers. Right now, I have a car & a flat. But I want to buy a bigger flat. I am getting more offers here. So, I will settle down in Tollywood,” avers Anu Emanuel.

The reasons for replacing Lavanya Tripathi with Shalini Pandey are unknown. However, the producers of 100% Kadhal have lodged a complaint against Lavanya Tripathi for not being available for them despite making an agreement. They have reportedly stated that they lost so much money because of Lavanya Tripathi’s exit and are demanding for a compensation of Rs. 3 crores. Lavanya Tripathi who has been receiving a lot of flak for her underwhelming performance in the recently released Vunnadi Okate Zindagi got another jolt because of this dispute. Anupama Parameswaran totally outclassed Lavanya Tripathi in Vunnadhi Okate Zindagi (VOZ) in each & every aspect. She has pinned a lot of hopes on the film to give her an image makeover, but she turned out to be one of the weakest links in the film. Now she is into a legal soup even before she has recovered from the Vunnadhi Okate Zindagi (VOZ) mishap.
