The drama reaches a climax as MAA elections day is here

The last month or so has seen one of the most bitter and intense cases of accusations and allegations amongst the film fraternity. The reason for this in the MAA elections that are scheduled for the day. The MAA President post saw a number of contestants jumping into the fray. However, the last battle is now between the Prakash Raj panel and the Manchu Vishnu panel.

The Vishnu panel has been making their case stating Prakash Raj is a nonlocal and an outsider. On the other hand, Prakash Raj recently came ahead with proof of Manchu family’s unfair means to win elections.

All in all these elections saw bitterness like never before and hope that comes to an end today. The polling will take place between 8 AM to 2 PM at the Jubilee Hills Public School. The counting will begin at 3 PM and the results are expected to be declared by 8 PM today.

‘My tweet had nothing to do with Samantha’

Naga Chaitanya and Samantha’s divorce has brought out varied reactions from media as well as within the industry. Even the fans were heartbroken with this announcement last week. Both Chay and Samantha have requested privacy and have kept away from discussing the topic.

The actress, however, for the first time in a week opened up on the issue and lashed out at the baseless and hurtful statements that are doing rounds against her. The actress opened up on the allegations of multiple abortions made against her by some channels and also thanked fans for showing empathy and defending her on the whole episode.

Meanwhile, Samantha’s ex-boyfriend Siddharth spoke to the media on the issue. The actor made a derogatory tweet against the actress exactly on her divorce announcement. He has now claimed that it was a general tweet and was not aimed against anyone. ‘My tweet had nothing to do with Samantha or anyone. It was a general tweet that I posted casually. Siddharth had referred to the actress as a cheat in the tweet for which he received widespread flak.

The actor meanwhile is getting ready for his next release Mahasamudram. This will be his first direct Telugu release in 8 years.

Icon Star Allu Arjun has now decided to get closer to nature and try out organic farming. The ‘Pushpa’ star recently purchased 2 acres of land at Shankarpally for this purpose. He visited the local Tahsildar office to complete the formalities.

Some fans, on learning that their star was at the Tahsildar office even rushed to the spot and clicked pictures with him. Shankarpalli Tehsildar P Krishna informed that the registration formalities were over on Friday. He added that the documents were also transferred to Allu Arjun.

With the Shankarapally area favouring agriculture a lot more, the area has turned into a hotspot for nature lovers.

Incidentally, just a couple of months ago, Jr NTR also purchased 6 acres of land also in Shankarpally. The actor has plans to build a farmhouse there where he will also indulge in organic farming.

Currently, a number of film stars are visiting the area which is not so far from Hyderabad for investment and farming purposes

A bad week for Tollywood

After the dull performance of Sai Dharam Tej’s Republic, Tollywood was hoping for some kind of redemption. This week saw two releases in the form of Konda Polam and Aaradugula Bullet. While one is a content-driven movie, the other is an out-and-out commercial film.

Sadly, both these movies failed to impress the Tollywood audience and opened to below-par reviews. Konda Polam was panned by the critics for being too slow and out of place in major parts. Aaradugula Bullet on the other hand turned out to be an outdated masala flick that had nothing special to take home.

The second consecutive slow week has now put all eyes on Love Story which is doing a decent job.

The Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi starter romantic drama might actually do well this week owing to the festive season and low competition. With no biggies up next, for now, it’s actually a good time for Love Story to extend its winning run

Republic 1st week Box-office Status

Sai Dharam Tej’s Republic opened to mixed reviews and sparse occupancy last week. The political drama directed by Deva Katta impressed in parts but couldn’t live up to the expectations.

The first week’s worldwide share of the film is Rs 6 crores while the film’s theatricals amount to Rs 12 crores. This means the film is headed towards a disaster unless it sees a sharp pick up in occupancy, which doesn’t seem likely now.

Republic is an action-packed commentary on the Indian democratic system and how politicians yield supreme power over the civil servants and courts. Sai Dharam Tej is played IAS officer Abhiram Panja in the film who clashes with Ramya Krishna who is essaying the role of a wily political leader.

Popular news channel calls Vishnu a below-average hero

Manchu Vishnu’s candidature for MAA president has brought him back to the limelight and trolls as well. The actor has been making back-to-back media appearances and slandering his opponent Prakash Raj from all ends.

This hyper-aggressive strategy of Vishnu has invited great criticism. Many are even questioning the need for so much public controversy for MAA elections. Amidst all this talk about the elections, a popular Telugu news channel termed him as a below-average hero, much to the amusement of netizens.

The anchor made the remark speaking to senior actor Murali Mohan, who was also the former president of MAA. ‘Big stars and heroes do not contest for these elections and they are just contempt being a member of the associations. Only below average or average heroes step up for leadership roles like now Vishnu has stepped up.”
