Kannada’s hero Chiranjeevi Sarja and a nephew of actor Arjun Sarja, passed away today in Bengaluru. It is said that the actor has complained of breathlessness and chest pain. The 39-year-old Chiranjeevi died after he suffered from a heart attack at Sagar Apollo hospitals.

He married actress Meghana Raj, the daughter of Prameela Joshai and Sundar Raj in 2018. The couple has dated for 10 years and later got married in a grand manner. Chiranjeevi acted in 22 films and the news has shattered his huge fan base. The family members of the actor said that he was quite healthy with regular workouts, even without a pause in lockdown.

The doctors at Sagar Apollo hospitals confirmed that he was brought to the facility in an unconscious state and his body will be handed over to the Jayanagar Police for an autopsy. Born and brought up in Bengaluru, Chiranjeevi Sarja started his career as an assistant director for his uncle Arjun Sarja’s movies. He made his acting lead debut in Sandalwood in the 2009 Kannada movie Vayuputra to which he won Innovative Film Award for Best Debut male actor.

His two latest films have been released early this year, namely, Khaki and Aadya. His next film, Rajamarthanda is yet to be released, with post-production work in process. Also, another three films, April, Ranam and Khatreya, were halted due to the lockdown.

The reopening of film shootings issue escalated to a new level when Chiranjeevi and others met Telangana’s Cinematography minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav, but without Balakrishna. The Nandamuri actor put his dissent out with unwanted words like ‘land deal meetings’, which turned a big turmoil when Naga Babu condemned his comments adding much fuel to it with similar comments.

The heated arguments from sympathizers on both sides almost ended and there is a new topic coming up now. It is all about the big wigs of the Telugu film industry meeting the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh now. This time, producer C Kalyan said he invited Balayya, but the actor may not be joining the meet on June 9, being the eve of his birthday.

Though it appears to be just any reason to skip the meeting on that day, it is now heard that Balayya is actually planning to meet the CM YS Jagan individually, but not along with the group of big actors and producers in Telugu cinema. In fact, he is said to be seeking appointments to meet both the CMs regarding the film shoot reopening and many other issues, but in no way interested in joining the meet on June 9.

Well, it is not any sensation if Balayya meets KCR, considering KCR’s admiration for NTR and the matured thinking of Balayya and KCR, that keep politics and ideological difference at bay during a meet with different prominence. But, +it has to be seen if Balayya really is looking towards meeting AP CM YS Jagan, as that meet could remotely embarrass Chandrababu Naidu, given the different political equations in Andhra Pradesh from Telangana.

Sidharth Shukla and Shehnaaz Gill were the highlights of Bigg Boss 13, and there’s no doubt about the fact. It was the longest-running seasons in the history of the show, but with SidNaaz’s bond, it did not feel long. With their cute fights, friendly romance, and ever-so-strong bond, SidNaaz became the eye-candy of BB 13. There was never a day that went without people on social media discussing them and their equation. In fact, it was hard to believe that two people who are complete opposites to each other could gel so well, and give us all ‘friendship goals.’

While Sidharth is the angry young man, Shehnaaz is the adorable bubbly girl, and together they are the ‘cutest jodi’s. Well, it’s often said, ‘opposites attract,’ but nobody initially thought Sidharth and Shehnaaz would one day become the best duo of all times. They enjoy a humongous fan following, who are in love with the duo’s bond, and never miss a chance to ship for them. Now, that it has been more than three months of the show being over, SidNaaz craze is still at the top. Almost every weekend, we see their fans rooting for them on social media, and today is no different.

SidNaazains are back in action as they are showering all their love and support on the BB 13 duo again. It looks like they’re missing SidNaaz way too much as they are sharing their cutesy throwback moments from Salman Khan’s show. Well, we can feel them, as Sidharth and Shehnaaz have left such an impact on others with their chemistry that is long to stay with everyone. Also, we must say that they have earned a loyal and dedicated fan base, who never leaves their side whatever the situation may be. Today, SidNaaz fans have something special to say about them.

With actress Meera Chopra’s episode once again social media abuse by fans of heroes has erupted an ugly war. This time a lady being at the receiving end resulted in the matter of actors versus fans to reach National Commission for Women.

But in this episode who is to be really blamed? Actors for making simple of tongue remarks or fans for reacting in abusive manner? One actress backs fans and she is Poonam Kaur and she went on to add that trolling is part of actor’s life these days. In a series of tweets, Poonam seems to have indirectly supported Jr NTR fans in the war with Meera Chopra.

“While my name is dragged consistently for no reason, till date I have not complaint a single thing on fans, I truly believe they are innocent n are instigated my middle people of media for their gains, I have launched complain only on people who troubled me. Don’t blame fans for wars. No actor wants his fans to abuse any one, it’s created by jealous factors in and around the industry n media.

They don’t have time for this. Trolling is a part of actors life. Criminal acts needs to be reported. Trolling is a game done to victimse u .dont bother .move on! We don’t even know if these fans are fake accounts created by political gains and at the end the actor gets blamed no matter who it is …. accept that our industry is interlinked with one political party each .fans are innocent people ,few political people are evil .they do this,” wrote Poonam in three different tweets.

Poonam has abundant experience in this sort of issues and she carefully mentioned that fans are innocent and it’s the middle people who do this mudslinging for damaging the reputation of a celebrity.

Virata Parvam is one film on which everyone has had eyes on since the day it was announced. Directed by Venu Udugula, the film has Rana Daggubati and Sai Pallavi in the lead roles. The film is all about a political context becoming a personal conflict and has a lot of touches of Virata Parvam from The Mahabharata.

The film has Nandita Das, Zareen Wahib, Eashwari Rao and Priyamani also in key roles. Recently, the first look of Priyamani from this film has been released and she plays Bharatakka, Naxalite.

Director Venu Udugula has revealed that none of the actors in the film have had makeup on them. All of them have gone de-glam and this is definitely a big thing. From Rana to Zareena Wahib, who plays his mother on screen, and Nandita Das who plays someone who fights for human rights, and others, all of them have agreed to go for no-makeup looks.

The majority of the shooting part of the film has been completed and if everything would have gone as per the plans, the film would have been released by now. Also, there is only ten percent of the shoot that is remaining and it has to take place on the sets. Post-production formalities will then begin, and when theatres will open, the makers will announce the release date.

Balakrishna’s candid interview has many answers from Balayya but also left many questions in the end as the Nandamuri hero did not want to reveal names. Balayya at one moment said ‘give respect and take respect’ and ‘I never talk to them, I never respect them’. So who are those heroes who disrespected and ignored Balayya and what’s the story behind it?

In the interview when asked about multi-starrer plans, Balayya gave an apathetic look saying the idea would be better with smaller heroes. He also mentioned about few incidents where he approached two heroes and they never cared to respond, but again tried to invite him for their business events.

It is heard that Balakrishna approached two star heroes for ‘important’ roles in NTR biopic to represent two other great heroes of NTR’s era, but the latter two turned it down due to reasons only known to them. While Balakrishna played his father NTR, he is said to have made vain trials to bring on the ‘two’ heroes to do the same. The most anticipated movie too could not yield great results which also left Balayya more disgruntled for the ‘refusal’ from the two heroes, though it might to one of the reasons for the movie failure.

So, Balayya appeared to have lost interest for multi-starrer and he even agreed that there were bad multi-starrers NTR-ANR, concluding that a great story like Sholay or bigger could work. Balayya did not rule out a chance of a multi-starrer with Tarak or Kalyan Ram, but no one knows if that could happen.
