Anasuya Bharadwaj’s first look from ‘Pushpa’ fails to enthuse fans

Directed by Sukumar, Allu Arjun’s pan-India movie ‘Pushpa: The Rise’ is one of the most anticipated movies in recent times. With a rustic, rural backdrop, the makers had managed to establish a decent buzz around the movie.

The makers unveiled the first look poster of actress Anasuya Bharadwaj on Wednesday, which has left the fans and followers in splits. While Anasuya’s unrecognisable look goes viral, it seems like most of the movie fans have not approved of this look.

Introduced as ‘Dakshayini’, Anasuya’s introductory poster is termed as ‘savorless’ by movie fans.

The first look poster of Anasuya Bharadwaj features her in a primitive avatar. Though the team seems to have put their efforts together for this look, it only looks like a cobbled-together pose. Anasuya is seen wearing heavy golden jewels, as she chews paan, and a nutcracker in her hands.

Her intense look makes the actress unrecognisable, which is not well-received by the Telugu audience. Well, in contrast to these reviews, the makers believe Anasuya’s role in the movie ‘Pushpa’ will fetch her praise.

Pushpa’s story is based on real-life incidents from the remote parts of Andhra Pradesh’s Chittoor district. The story is said to revolve around the red sandalwood smugglers in the Seshachalam hills of the region.

Directed by Sukumar, the film will see Allu Arjun playing the role of a sandalwood smuggler named Pushpa Raj, who is paired up with Rashmika Mandanna.

‘Pushpa’ is a two-part movie and is bankrolled by Mythri Movie Makers in association with Muttamsetty Media.

Mahesh Babu movie inspires Telangana man to build village school

Popular Tollywood actor Mahesh Babu on Wednesday said he was moved beyond words to learn that his movie ‘Srimanthudu’ was the inspiration behind the construction of a high school in Telanganas Kamareddy district.

He took to Twitter to thank Subhash Reddy, a businessman and philanthropist, who had donated Rs 6 crore for the construction of a government school at Bibipet. “We are incredibly humbled Subhash Reddy ‘garu’. You are a true hero.. We need more people like you,” the actor tweeted.

Mahesh Babu’s tweet was in response to the inauguration of the school by the state’s Industry and Information Technology Minister K.T. Rama Rao and Education Minister P. Sabitha Indra Reddy.

KTR, as the minister is popularly known, tweeted pictures of the school and the inauguration ceremony. During his speech, the minister revealed that Subhash Reddy had been inspired by the Mahesh Babu film.

“Had I known this, I would have brought along Mahesh Babu,” KTR said. “He would have been happy that, inspired by his movie, some people are doing such great work,” he added.

The minister said he would invite Mahesh Babu when the work on a junior college being also built in the area gets completed.

In his response, Mahesh Babu tweeted that he would attend the event with his entire team. “Will make sure to visit the college with my entire team of ‘Srimanthudu’ once this noble project is completed,” the actor said.

KTR was all praise for the construction of a government school building on a par with a privately-run school. He said Subhash Reddy had set a new benchmark for government-run schools.

Released in 2015, ‘Srimanthudu’ is the story of a young man who inherits a business empire, adopts his ancestral village, and then tries to improve its infrastructure as well as the standard of living of the local people.

The actor opens up about overcoming his deep-sea water phobia and going on expedition in the Indian Ocean with famed adventurer Bear Grylls.

He says: “It was a wonderful experience going on this survival expedition with the world-famous adventurer Bear Grylls. If it wasn’t for him, I would have not been able to defeat my fear of swimming in this vast ocean. This journey also marks an incredibly significant chapter in my life as I was able to overcome and conquer one of my many fears.”

He adds how Bear helped him to overcome his fear while facing number of challenges from crocodiles, sharks and snakes including the uncertain tides and weather.

“The thought of being in the middle of an ocean and not having a floor beneath you is not easy, but Bear’s constant motivation and determination has helped me rise out of this triumphantly,” shares Vicky Kaushal.

Bear Grylls also shares how Vicky had gone through all the obstacles in this adventurous journey.

“Vicky was an incredible guest on so many levels, not only were we in some of the most hostile mangrove swamps on earth, but he also had to face open ocean swimming with sharks in the water, which was a huge obstacle for him! His story and his route to superstardom is so humbling, and his warm, infectious spirit is always inspiring. You get to see a very raw, personal side of Vicky on this journey, and I am so proud of how he truly conquered his fears,” says Bear Grylls.

‘Into the Wild with Bear Grylls’ will air on November 12 on discovery+.
