In recent days, we have seen superstar Mahesh Babu been advising about the social distancing, and now he even following it in his home.

In most of the pictures that came out so far during this lockdown period, Mahesh was seen maintaining social distancing from his family members.

In the latest picture, Mahesh is seen talking with his son Gautham after a workout session. Both the father and son was chilling with the boy talk. Mahesh was seen relaxing on a sofa while Gautham was gulping down water.

Looks like the father and son having a good conversation between them. Well, that’s what a teen son needs the most, a friend in his father.

Meanwhile, the suspense continues on the next project of Mahesh as he haven’t made any official announcement on his next with Parasuram.

Every One Should Follow The 7 Rules Of MODI

“There is only one lab in January for COVID-19 testing (NIV, Pune) and now, testing is being done in more than 220 labs” says Prime Minister Narendra Modi, adding that India’s battle against Covid-19 is strong and on the winning side.

Adding that more discipline and lockdown will eventually help us win the battle, Modi stated that the lockdown will be extended till May 3, while some relaxations in few areas will be implemented with lots of conditions from April 20.

Asking the citizens of the country, to follow seven principles, Modi says, “You have to be with me on these seven points”. And the points include,

1) Take care of elderly people at home who already have ailments.

2) Use homemade masks and follow strict social distancing.

3) Increase your immunity, by following the guidelines given by Ayush Ministry.

4) Download the Arogya Setu mobile app to check if you have crossed paths.

5) Help the poor with their needs, give them food and essentials.

6) Don’t remove employees from jobs and show compassion towards colleagues.

7) Respect and pray for Healthcare workers, Doctors and Sanitation workers

Asking every to stay home and stay safe, Modi gave an assurance that centre and states are working together such that supply chain will not get hit, and ensured that there is no shortage of food grains or any other commodities in India.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi Extended The Lock Down Period

Almost all the media reports and almost all the state governments had information that the lockdown would be extended till April 30th which was fair and all were prepared for this sort of lockdown extension since the situation is only worsening.

However, no one had predicted before Modi‘s address to nation that he had different plan. Instead of extending upto April 30th, Prime Minister went a step further and stated that the lockdown would be in force until May 3rd. This has come as a shocker to many including media houses who didn’t expect this.

It is learnt that this information has been kept highly confidential and no one leaked to media or any state governments as it could leak to media. This has been kept confidential at the top brass of Union Government. Until Modi himself announced, this was kept as secret.

The main reasons for this May 3rd deadlineis, May 1st is naturally a holiday being Labour Day. May 2nd and May 3rd are Saturday and Sunday respectively where most private jobs have holidays.

Since lifting lockdown on April 30th could lead public to come out free in large numbers on May 1st, 2nd and May 3rd had the lockdown is lifted on April 30th and this could defeat the purpose of lockdown as there could be further spread of Corona positive cases, Prime Minister and Home Ministry have extended the lockdown to 3 more days and kept May 3rd as the deadline.

If the relief would come on May 4th or not would purely depend on then circumstances. But given the stern measures being taken up by Union Government and respective state governments across the nation, it is expected that the Corona could come into absolute control as all the positive cases could come to standstill if lockdown is strictly implemented. But this is just an idea. One has to wait and watch as no one could predict what is going to happen in coming days.

Anu Emmanuel Accepted the Role Of Villain’s wife

In quick time, dusky siren Anu Emmanuel, a Malayalam NRI from the USA whose father happens to be a producer in Malayalam Film Industry has made her Telugu debut with Nani’s Majnu and went on sharing the screen with Pawan Kalyan and Allu Arjun very soon. Though mega hand turned out very lucky for many folks, it turned out to be disastrous for Anu, as those films flopped big time.

Latest reports are coming out that in her next Anu Emmanuel will be seen in the role of faded out villain Sonu Sood’s wife in the film ‘Alludu Adhurs’, which features Bellamkonda Sai and Nabha Natesh in the leads. Some say that she’s actually playing second heroine role in the movie, and there will be a sequence where she will appear as his wife. One wonders if Anu knows the consequences of her decision to play this role, or she got convinced by a director like that.

Actually Kandireega Srinivas is the director of this film, and even in Kandireega we have Sonu Sood playing the villain and will be obsessed by heroine Hansika. But then, hero Ram uses his might to set up Aksha as Sonu’s lover towards the end of the film. Looks like the director is rehashing a similar storyline for ‘Alludu Adhurs’ too, and with Anu Emmanuel playing the role of what Aksha did then.

After Kandireega, Aksha’s future in Tollywood got washed out, while Nargis Fakhri who did the same role in Hindi remake Main Tera Hero also got vanished. We have to see what happens to Anu Emmanuel now.

No Updates From Tollywood Beauty Samantha

Samantha Akkineni is someone who keeps sharing updates for fans on social media. But in the recent times, which is around two weeks, the actress hasn’t been keeping her fans posted. And this makes the fans worry wondering what has gone wrong.

Ever since the lockdown has been announced, Samantha has been silent on social media. She just once posted that she has cooked, and even enjoyed a happy meal with husband Naga Chaitanya, and pet dog Hash.

She hasn’t even shared a single picture of herself. In the recent times there have been a lot of rumours that the actress is planning to extend her family. So speculations are rife that something is being hidden by the actor herself.

A leading tabloid of Hyderabad, through a source close to Samantha, wrote, “She feels that this is the time she can spend time with her husband Naga Chaitanya, so she has made it a completely private time, and is avoiding posts.”

It is high time that the actress makes things clear to avoid more speculations. She is doing a triangular love story with Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara. She also has an Ashwin Saravanan directorial, which is a horror thriller. It is said she given her nod to play the titular role in biopic of Bangalore Nagarathhamma. An official confirmation is awaited.

The Biggest Challenging Role In Ramya Krishnan career

After the super success of Baahubali, where her role as Sivagami, the queen-regent of Mahismathi kingdom, has won huge accolades, former heroine Ramya Krishnan has become a sought after actress for many filmmakers. But then, the actress has turned quite choosy we have to say.

Though there are many terrific offers for her, the actress picked some roles in movies like Puri Jagan’s Romantic and Fighter, rather taking up whatever that comes her way. And right now, we hear that an interesting role is offered to her by Nithin, who has the remake of Bollywood super hit Andhadhun going on. As he wants to start the shooting of this film as soon as lockdown is called off, they are finalising all the lead actors for the movie.

Apparently the role reprised by Tabu in the original, which happens to be a negative role with a bit of glamour and terrific twists, is a crucial one to the film. And they thought of roping in Anasuya for the same, but with negative feedback coming up that she won’t be able to carry the role, finally, they have asked Tabu for the same role. Though she wanted to do it, it is being heard that she has a change of mind during lockdown times.

That way this role has now landed in Ramya’s lap, and we have to see if she will say yes or not. As she is known for her glamorous performance throughout her career, and her ability to breathe life into characters, she will be a terrific option for the role.

Also in the 432 Corona positive cases, 413 are getting treated at respective isolation wards in hospitals across the state.

Lockdown Extension in Telangana confirmed By CM KCR

Telangana CM KCR says it is inevitable to extend the lockdown to contain the virus spread in the state. Telangana lockdown will be extended up to April 30 for the whole state and KCR said he conveyed the cabinet demand to the center regarding the same. KCR in a relieving word said the Lockdown will be eased phase-wise in the state after April 30.

Revealing about coronavirus cases in Telangana state, CM KCR says the coronavirus infected from the first phase quarantine are all discharged. Coming to the latest tally, Telangana state has a total of 503 positive cases, in which 14 died and 96 discharged including the foreign returned and foreigners. With a total of active 393 cases and 1654 quarantined, KCR expressed confidence in clearing all the coronavirus cases in the state by April 24, given no new cases arise meanwhile.

KCR spoke about 243 containment areas in Telangana, with 123 in GHMC alone. The government is delivering the stuff needed to the doors in the containment areas.

Speaking about schools, KCR said the government will think of 10 class examinations after the lockdown ends but will be auto-promoting 1 to 9th class students without any examinations for this academic year.

KCR reveals his talks with PM Narendra Modi to bring on the Quantitative Easing process known as QE that pumps a percentage of GDP of the whole nation to support the people during calamities. Like the US government released 2 Trillion dollars as stimulus fund, a 10 percent of total GDP of the nation and UK has done 15 percent in the same process, KCR says he proposed it to the center.

India has no other option except to bring QE funds from reserve bank at this financial crisis times. India’s GDP is 203 lakh crores and would be 10 lakh crores if 5 percent is considered as QE. It is intended to help mainly but not limited to industrial workers, informal businesses, people with no ration cards, meet farmers’ demands. This money supplied by RBI is called helicopter money and the decision is upon PM Narendra Modi.

While answering other questions, KCR warned of severe consequences against the adulteration of foods and oils in any part of the state.

Eesha Rebba signed up for the web series

Telugu actress Eesha Rebba deserves a proper break for her looks and acting. Though she acted in a brief role for Trivikram’s Aravinda Sametha, that did not help her much. But, Eesha is heard to be gearing up to blow all our minds with her appearance and performance in a web series coming up.

Eesha Rebba signed up for the Lust Stories web series remake in Telugu, directed by Sankalp Reddy of Ghazi fame. We know what Lust Stories is like and Eesha’s role in the Telugu version is said to be putting the screen on fire.

When asked about the same in an interview, Eesha Rebba reportedly said that she is going to appear bold and hot, but definitely not sleazy. Well, there is a thin line between boldness and sleaze, and Eesha Rebba appears to be knowing it very well. She says that all the stories in this web series will have a beautiful theme.

Bollywood is far ahead to Telugu films and web series when we have to compare the boldness and so-called metro content. We hope the directors for Lust Stories in Telugu do not tone it down from the original, just to please a section of the audience by putting the beauty of theme at stake.

RRR film’s post-production works will be completed in this lockdown times

In a bid to make sure that magnum opus movie RRR will not miss out the January 8, 2021 release date, director SS Rajamouli is making sure that the film’s post-production works will be completed in this lockdown times. And we hear that the team is sitting on work every day to get the maximum output.

Reportedly, RRR team is said to have undertaken the dubbing work from the houses of its two biggest stars, Jr NTR and Ram Charan. To get this work going, one needs a soundproof room and also a high-quality sound recording mic such that they will get perfect voice without any disturbance, noise and other interferences.

We are hearing that Rajamouli has already sent two quality mics to the houses of these actors and they are said to be sitting inside the mini-theatres they have at home, which have soundproof walls, to finish the dubbing work. Every day Rajamouli, his associates and writer Karky are also supervising the dubbing version of Telugu and Tamil, we hear.

Well, if all filmmakers do make use of lockdown times this way, surely they need not wait for many months after the lockdown is lifted, to release their films in theatres.

Is Deepika Padukone Pregnent?

Bollywood actors Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, who got married in November last year, have been making the headlines for various reasons since they started dating 6 years ago. Post their marriage, speculations are being made on the possible pregnancy of Deepika, who finally opened up on the subject.

Deepika, in a recent statement, rubbished the reports and said that it was unfair to put such kind of pressure on a woman and a couple. She added that motherhood will certainly happen at some point in her life. “It will happen when it has to happen. Motherhood trumps being married. That’s what I hear from people who have had children. Of course, it will happen at some point but no, I think it is unfair to put women through that, to put a couple through that. I guess the day we stop asking the questions is when we will bring about change,” Deepika reportedly said.

On the work front, Deepika has been working on the shoot of her next movie “Chhapaak,” based on the life of acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal, directed by Meghna Gulzar.

Is Film Industry very tough for the Telugu girls

Film Industry is very tough especially for the Telugu girls. There will be very less number of girls from Telugu states who wants to become heroines. Of them there are quite very less number who went onto become busy heroines. Eesha Rebba who debuted in Telugu with Anthaku Mundu Aa Tarwata is now picking up interesting projects. The actress has been in industry for the past 7 years and she has seen many ups and downs. In a latest interview this girl has revealed many interesting things.

When asked about what is she doing in this lock down period to get rid of boredom, Eesha Rebba has revealed that she has been binge watching a lot of shows. “Money Heist is one thing which I loved recently. The performances are terrific. Apart from shows, I have been learning to look. I have been trying lot of recipes off late”.

Answering to the question of her next commitments she answered that “My first OTT show Lust Stories remake is up for release. I have two interesting projects in Bollywood which I will announce post lock down. I will work with Shiv Raj Kumar and I am looking forward to it. There are Telugu projects as well in pipeline. I feel 2021 is going to be my year” concluded the actress.

Is Kajal Agarwal acting with Power Star Again?

Off late there has been numerous talks about Power Star Pawan Kalyan’s movies. It is known that the actor has announced three movies of which he has almost completed Vakeel Saab in the direction of Venu Sri Ram and is well known that the project is remake of Bollywood hit Pink. There is Krish project in pipe line as well. Shooting of the film has started and small schedule has been wrapped until recently due to lock down shooting has been stalled.

Apart from these projects, there is another one which is exciting Pawan fans a lot. That is PSPK28 in the direction of Harish Shankar. The movie has been in the anticipation as the duo’s earlier collaboration Gabbar Singh is a major hit. Every single update about this project is exciting fans a lot.

There has been speculations off late that this project will have two heroines in it and for one of the roles, Kajal Agarwal is being considered. Kajal and Pawan has acted together in the film Sardar Gabbar Singh. The film has turned out into flop. Kajal on the other hand recently signed Chiranjeevi’s flick and now she has got Pawan Kalyan’s movie. Surely the actress is the first choice for senior heroes.

Rakul got a golden chance to give a comeback in Tollywood

The long-legged beauty of Tollywood, Rakul Preet Singh has started her career with small films and landed in big movies alongside the biggest superstars of Tollywood like Mahesh Babu, Jr NTR and Ram Charan. At times she was said to be in the number one position among the actresses and was called as the golden leg!

Now All that glitters have vanished in Rakul’s Tollywood career with just one film and that is Nagarjuna’s ‘Manmadhudu 2’.Her bold avatar in the film seemed like a sluttish avatar and thus jeopardized her chances in Tollywood. It is the same in Bollywood too, she went to Bollywood has acted in few films like ‘Aiyaary’ and ‘Marjaavan’ none worked and she is left with no work now in Tollywood or Bollywood.

Now the latest news broke that she got a golden chance to give a comeback in Tollywood and that too with the happening youth star Nithiin. Producer Anand Prasad of Bhavya Creations has planned a project with youth star Nithiin. The movie team has chosen Rakul as the leading lady. The cast and crew are yet to be finalized for this Chandra Shekar Yeleti film.

The film will be a good chance for Rakul to set right her career in Telugu Cinema. If the movie becomes a hit at the Box Office, then she gets huge offers alongside the happening young actors. Hope so!

KCR wants the lockdown to be extended till April 30th

Other day, when PM Narendra Modi held meeting with the parliamentary leaders of various regional parties, it’s heard that the two Telugu Chief Ministers have expressed different opinions regarding the lockdown. While KCR is said to have proposed a complete lockdown till April 30 in the least, YS Jagan is said to have given another opinion.

Apparently Telangana Chief Minister KCR is worried about the growing number of cases and has already set up hotspots in Hyderabad and other districts of Telangana where they will be completely seized of movement, and barricades will be put in place to make sure that none comes out and goes in.

Despite such measures, KCR wants the lockdown to be extended till April 30th in the minimum and lockdown with a bit of relaxation till June 1st week, such that things will be under control.

Expressing their opinion on the same, YS Jagan‘s emissary MP Vijaysai Reddy is said to have asked the Prime Minister to consider opening up lock down in areas where there is no corona scare. The YSRC MP is said to have suggested that lockdown be implemented only in hotspots and leave other areas scout free.

Jagan’s thought is that Andhra Pradesh is already in deficit since bifurcation and losing almost Rs 165+ crores every day, and lockdown will further push the state into debts. As AP already borrowed Rs 1000 Cr from Reserve Bank through Central Govt has given Rs 3000 Cr fund, CM Jagan feels that the situation will not turn worse only if lockdown is lifted.

We have to see if PM Modi will consider the requests of CM KCR Or Jagan, or both.

Positive cases of COVID-19 In Hyderabad

Telangana Government has been implementing strenuous measures right from the beginning of this crisis and now with the growing numbers, there are 15 containment cluster zones announced which will be having no entry or exit for anyone until further notice.

Railways and APSRTC has halted the bookings till April 30th

The other day, Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) has decided to open the online ticket bookings for Super Luxury and Delux bus services from April 15th. On 5th of April, APSRTC has allowed the travelers to book their tickets but on Thursday, APSRTC has completely stopped accepting bookings.

Reports from the media are making waves that the lockdown might be extended by the Centre and keeping this mind, the higher officials of APSRTC gave a second thought about opening the bookings. But from April 5th, about 45,000 tickets have been booked and the RTC officials are considering to make refund to the people who have booked tickets.

Also with Telangana CM KCR categorically saying that the state would extend the lockdown, APSRTC has halted the booking services to Hyderabad city as well.

PM Modi will be holding a video conference with CMs of all the states tomorrow and then a proper decision on lockdown extension would come out. This would make things clear for APSRTC. Already Railways has halted the bookings till April 30th, so it most likely that RTC will follow.

No one is going to take a risk For IPL 2020

Former India cricketer Madan Lal believes the 13th edition of the IPL 2020 should not be conducted behind closed doors. The fate of the cash-rich league hangs by a thin thread due to the coronavirus pandemic that has taken the world by storm.

IPL 2020 was initially scheduled to start from March 29 but it could not go as planned due to the Covid-19 outbreak. The tournament has been deferred until at least April 15 but the chances of holding the League on that date also look bleak due to the rising number of coronavirus cases in the country. 

“IPL is a big brand. But the board can only take a decision once the situation improves and coronavirus is gone. At the moment, it’s on upstage. So, no one is going to take a risk,” Madan Lal told IANS.

“There’s no point in playing IPL matches in front of empty stands. It’s not just about the players and the fans, it’s about other people who are also involved in the process while travelling, organising, broadcasting, etc,” the 1983 World Cup-winning team member said.

“Once situation improves, other series will also take place and BCCI can totally recover for the lost time.”

Earlier, former IPL chairman Rajeev Shukla had also said that it was impossible to start the 13th edition of the IPL after April 15.

So people who mostly do IPL Betting for this is bad news.
