‘Bigg Boss Telugu 5’: Contestants resort to stunts for survival

The upcoming nominations episode of ‘Bigg Boss Telugu 5’ is to be telecast on Monday and with Anee’s exit, the housemates seem to have become even more tense.

Each passing day on the show has been a tough nut to crack, as the contestants seem to be exhausted with non-stop tasks.

The latest promos by ‘Bigg Boss Telugu 5’ makers seem to be full of drama, as Monday’s episode is to bring in intense gaming and the nomination process, like always. One of the promos hints at a verbal war between Sree Rama Chandra and Kajal, while Sunny interferes. Siri and Priyanka also seem to have a clash, going by the promo.

The makers have set up pots, with each contestant’s name on them. The inmates must nominate two of the house members. The pots with the nominated contestants are to be broken by the one who nominates.

As per the reports, all of the contestants except the captain are to get nominated in the coming episode. Manas, who is the captain of the house, has immunity against nominations and hence is safe for the week. Sunny, Kajal, Siri, Shanmukh, Priyanka, Ravi, and Sree Rama Chandra are going to be in the nominations for the upcoming elimination process.

Going by the social media trends and voting patterns, RJ Kajal has got a grip over the voting, while Ravi and Sree Rama Chandra fail to appeal to the Telugu audience. VJ Sunny, Manas, and Shanmukh are doing well, as the trends are in their favour.

Siri and Priyanka have a lesser impact on the game, and they are likely to be in the danger zone this week.

‘Bheemla Nayak’ film buyers worried about AP ticket price issue

Pawan Kalyan and Rana Daggubati-starrer ‘Bheemla Nayak’ has been one of the most hyped Telugu movies.

With promotional stunts and updates, the movie has grabbed much attention from the audience. Directed by Sagar K. Chandra, it has Trivikram Srinivas penning the dialogues and screenplay.

The movie has good demand, with buyers and traders trying to grab the rights for their respective areas in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states. Despite the willingness to buy the movie for a whopping amount, the buyers are still ambiguous about Andhra Pradesh’s rights.

It is an open secret that actor-politician Pawan Kalyan is not in the good books of the Andhra Pradesh state government for he questioned them regarding a few welfare-related problems of the state, as a part of his political ideology. These comments by Pawan Kalyan triggered trouble for his movies in unforeseen ways.

The government’s reaction during Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Vakeel Saab’ release proved the same. Now that the government has decided to impose ticket pricing restrictions, the buyers are worried.

While the Telangana area’s rights are spelling crores of rupees, Andhra Pradesh’s buyers are just not happy with the ongoing situation though the makers of ‘Bheemla Nayak’ are prepping up with strategic promotional stunts.
