chiru's first political speech and party agenda


t last Chirajeevi broke the suspense and announced his party's name, agenda and the flag.

The mega public meeting was arranged at Avilala grounds Tirupati. Lakhs of people from all over the state reached Tirupati today morning by trains, busses and other transport. Elaborate arrangements were made to accommodate all the people. High security arrangements were made with about 3000 police force and volunteers. Food and water arrangements and medical facilities were also provided. Ambulances were also kept ready to meet any emergency. Except for minor incidents the meeting went on well as scheduled from the beginning to the end. Before Chiru's arrival cultural programmes were arranged to keep the people happy and quiet. Singer Mano rendered his voice for some patriotic songs.

The meeting was commenced by 5.30 PM with the arrival of Chiranjeevi clad in a white dress. Chiru appeared cool with a smilling face. Soon he greeted the gathering with joining hands. The audience felt happy to see their leader and also responded with 'Jai Chiranjeeva' slogans. Later Chiru commenced his address by extending his gratitude to all the sector of people like youth, women, brothers and sisters, laborers, poor and down trodden, farmers, media, police personnel and all those who have attended the meeting taking all the pains. He thanked and welcomed them.

Beginning his speech, Chiru narrated his life story by saying that he came from a poor family and his father was a police constable. He said that he underwent lot of hardship to study because of poverty in younger part of his life. Now he came up to this stage only because of love and affection of the people for all these 30 years of his film life. The Telugu people have extended their support all these years and now he requested support for his new role as politician. Chiru further said that he has traveled in India and abroad extensively and learnt many things. He thanked the public for their blessings and their immense support has given him strength to join the politics. He also said, "I am not a leader but only a worker"(nenu naayakudini kaadhu sevakudini matrame).He further reiterated, “in Chiru's life there is only a forward movement but not a backward movement”. Therefore he stated that his main aim is to make a “Chirunavvula” Andhra Pradesh. Throughout the speech the audience responded with applause and raise of slogans.

After giving an exited speech Chiranjeevi announced his party's name with a little suspense as "PRAJA RAJYAM', meaning a people's party. He said that his party emerged only because of the wishes of Telugu people and it is apt to name the party “Praja Rajyam”.

Later Chiranjeevi announced the party's agenda as follows in brief.

• Solving farmer's problems.

• Changes in Education system so that the common man can also take up studies.

• Medical facilities in all the villages. Medical facilities within the reach of common man.

• Solving the problems of middle class sector. Creating more facilities.

• Welfare programmes for the employees.

• Women welfare programmes.

• Development plans for the laborers.

• Support to youth.

• Creation of minimum comforts for all.

• Removal of corruption.

• Plans to solve irrigation problems of farmers.

• Discouragement of selling and drinking alcohol.

• Salvation of Naxalism in the state.

• Solving of police personnel's problems, modernization to tackle any type of contingencies.

• Tribal development.

• Praja Rajyam is against selling of Government lands.

• Village development - Providing all facilities in the villages on par with cities.

• Identifying economically backward classes and giving them a helping hand.

• Removal of poverty.

He said that a study will be made on all the above problems with learned and experienced persons and necessary schemes will be evolved. Regarding Telangana issue he stated that it is very sensitive problem and it cannot be solved by him individually. He also stated that priority will be given for development of backward areas in the state.

After completion of the agenda, Chiranjeevi showed the flag on the screen. People felt very happy to see the much awaited structure of the flag. He made a handicapped person to hoist the flag. The design of the flag is in 3 parts - white colour with a green border at the bottom with sun symbol centrally placed with 24 rays emerging. Later he also explained the meaning of the flag.

White: A mixture of several colours for a better and clean administration.

Green: Symbolically for the development of agriculture and farmers problems.

Sun: Represents energy and the yellow colour around it for happiness and 'Chirunavvulu'.

The 24 rays around the sun represents that his party workers will be on 24 hours duty to serve the people.

ANUSHKA NODS FOR 2 PIECE BIKINI

Off late Anushka is in news every now and then. At first she was in news for her romance with a star hero’s son. Later she pleaded the media not to enter into her private life. As per the reliable sources, she boldly gave statements that she does not mind wearing a two piece bikini provided the story demands. This curvaceous doll, who is one of the present hottest heroines in Tollywood, seems to be indirectly welcoming all the producers and directors by giving this kind of statement. Is this a kind of stunt that she is playing in order to threaten her competitors like Nayantara, Ileana, Trisha and Kajal??

CHIRU'S TEA PARTY AT RAMANAIDU STUDIO'S

Chiranjeevi hosted a tea party at Ramanaidu studios today evening to all the dignitaries from Tollywood on the eve of his entry into the politics and to say goodbye. Except the guests none were allowed inside the venue. While the party is going on about three hundred Chiru fans forcibly entered at about 5.00 PM. The security personnel could not control and allowed them inside. They made a big commotion by rising slogans and shouting. Hearing this Chiranjeevi came out of the party and requested all the fans with closed hands to extend their support to him.

Nagarjuna, Dr.Mohan Babu, Venkatesh, K.Viswanath, B.Gopal, Kodandarami Reddy, and other dignitaries attended the party.

Chiranjeevi thanked all the guests for accepting his invitation and came to the party in spite of their busy schedule of works. He told that he is not saying goodbye to the film industry but requesting their support. He further told that he cannot forget the film industry as it is his motherhood industry. He hoped that he will remain in the hearts of one and all even though he will be away from films. Dr.Mohan Babu expressed that he came and attended the party in spite of his busy work because Chiranjeevi invited him, and said that it is his culture to accept the invitation and wish him all good wishes.

KINGS B'DAY CELEBRATION IN TAJ

We are aware that Nagarjuna is currently shooting for his latest film 'King' under Sreenu Vytla's direction. So this year he is planning to celebrate his birthday with the team of "King". The venue of his birthday celebration is Taj Krishna, Hyderabad on August 29. So far the shooting of 'King' was proceeding quietly. But the reliable sources say that a press conference would be organized at the venue for the first time to brief about King's details.

siva balaji engaged to swapna madhuri.


The romance between handsome hero Siva Balaji and Swapna Madhuri (Putintiki Raa Chelli fame) that has been continuing since a couple of years finally reached the climax stage. The parents of both the sides have accepted their relationship and arranged for the betrothal today at Hotel Golconda in Hyderabad. Both fell in love during the shooting of a Tamil project called 'English Kadhal'. Siva Balaji shot to fame with his vital character in Arya, and then portrayed the role of Venky's brother in Supergood films 'Sankranthi'. Although his other films didn't fare well at box-office, his recent film 'Chandamama' in Krishnavamsi's direction has brought him enough recognition with which he again became a busy actor. Currently his latest promising film 'Target' is ready for release shortly. On the other hand, Swapna Madhuri (Madhumita in Tamil) who is also an actress is a busy heroine in Tamil. The couple would tie the knot after completing the current schedules of their respective films.

prabhas is the latest yugandhar

Atlast the confusion of which project to take up first has come to an end to our young Rebel Star Prabhas. Although there were news earlier that Prabhas has okayed with Goutham Menon and Rajamouli, he is now likely to take up the project in his home productions first, which would go on sets in the next month. This new project is the remake film of Ajit’s ‘Billa’ which is otherwise known as NTR’s ‘Yugandhar’ as both the films has the same concept and story. Mehar Ramesh (Kantri fame) will direct this flick. Gopikrishna Movies, Prabhas home productions has purchased the remake rights of Tamil ‘Billa’ and also NTR’s ‘Yugandhar’ from Sri Raja Rajaeswari Combines who possess them.

venky-trisha's krishnam vande jagth gurum for this dussera


As already mentioned earlier, Venkatesh and Trisha will be pairing once again for the fresh project titled "Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum". We all know that their previous 'Aaduvari Matalaku Ardhale Verule' is a superhit film, hence back again in "Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum". Alongside Trisha, yet another heroine will be cast opposite Venky. Jagarmundi Radhakrishna who recently gave a surprise hit with 'Gamyam', is taking up this project. Aswini Dutt will produce this flick while D Suresh Babu presents it.

So 'Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum' will start rolling from the first week of October, i.e., during Dussera season. Another interesting aspect is that Venky's latest 'Chintakayala Ravi' is also hitting theatres at the same period, that is on October 2. So this Dussera, besides Chintakayala Ravi coming to theatres, will also start saying Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum.

APARICHITHUDU-THE PRODUCER.

Actors turning producers has become common in Bollywood, for example, Aamir Khan, Sharukh Khan, Govinda, Akshay Kumar and so on. Now the trend is slowly catching up with the Southern heroes too. While Kalyan Ram in Telugu, so as Vikram in Tamil. Although Kalyam Ram had two superhits in his pocket under his home production, Vikram is going to start his production house very soon. Unconfirmed sources reveal that he is planning to produce atleast three films every year clubbing with a corporate company, both in Tamil and Telugu as well.

Sasikumar who directed Vikram's debut film as hero is likely to take the first project in his production too which would start off in 2009. Who will be the hero of this Vikram – Sasikumar film is the suspense. As such, Sasikumar's latest Tamil film 'Subramaniyapuram' is turning into a block buster which is still running with packed theatres. And Vikram is currently busy shooting for his latest 'Mallanna'.

sc grants permission to chirus meeting

The Supreme Court today adjourned the case filed by a voluntary organization against Chiru’s public meeting to be held at Tirupathi on August 26. It’s learnt through the court hearing that organizing a meeting for few hours is just temporary whereas the ban is only on construction of permanent structures at Avilala Cheruvu. Hence, the Supreme Court ruled out the petition filed by volunteers and granted permission to Chiranjeevi to organize his meeting comfortably at Avilala grounds on August 26.

chiru speaks on his b'day celebration and tirupathi meeting

chiranjeevi declared that his birthday will be celebrated with his family members and denied the rumours of his birthday celebrations at Kanchi. However, this is his first birthday celebration as a politician. Mentioning about his first public meeting in Avilala Cheruvu, Tirupathi on August 26, he expressed his confidence that there will not be anymore hindrances since the verdict of Supreme Court was in his favour. He further added by saying that his stay in Tirupathi is scheduled for two days – August 25 and August 26. "I plead those who are unable to attend the Tirupati meeting, to enable the sapling of plants in their respective places", said Chiru who at the same time requested his fans not to come to Hyderabad on August 22.

dasari to direct NBK

As we are aware, that a film is likely to evolve with Nandamuri Balakrishna as hero and Kalyan Ram as producer under Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao Arts banner. Now, the buzz is that Balakrishna is likely to take up one more project parallel to Kalyan Ram's productions. Inside sources reveal that the parallel project would be handled by Dasari, both in direction and production as well. It's also learnt that Dasari had prepared a special subject that is tailor-made to NBK. Remember Dasari's earlier superhits with NTR – 'Justice Chakravarthy', 'Bobbili Puli' and 'Sardar Paparayudu'. If everything goes well and fine both the films would hit the floors parallel to each other.

posani mental krishna's government


Character artist turned heroine Satya Krishnan's fortunes seems to be growing day by day.

She is said to be playing the wife of a psycho husband, Posani, the director cum hero of the film.Now, it's surprising to know that Satya has been roped in to play the lead role in Posani's next film too even before the release of their latest 'Mental Krishna'. However, the new film titled as 'Government' will be made on the lines of 'Pratighatana' and is likely to go on floors this November. This will be the NRI producer Mohan Vadlapatla's second project with Posani after 'Mental Krishna

arthi chabria to sizzle in chintakayala ravi

glam doll Aarthi Chabria who impressed the audience with charming looks in her debut film 'Okariki Okaru' could not sustain long in Tollywood after that. Therefore she shifted her gear from heroine to item girl is the latest buzz in the industry. Apart from doing an item song with Victory Venkatesh in his latest "Chintakayala Ravi", she is also said to be getting good offers from bollywood too. Only time will say how long she will last in this role!!!

chiranjeevi’s party is yet to be named but the music album hits the markets. Chiru will announce his party name on 26th August at Tirupathi, but even before that he had released a CD of music album titled ‘Chiru Sankharavam’. Satyam composed the tunes to the lyrics penned by Ananth Sriram. Although Chiranjeevi declared that this is not the official audio of his party, still the audio would be much in demand in markets. On the other hand, a senior politician and Chiranjeevi’s close associate Harirama Jogayya (member of Congress party) has resigned to his MP seat from Narsapuram constituency and officially joined the Chiranjeevi’s Party yesterday.

rajni to compensate to loss of kuselan

rajnikanth’s much hyped film ‘Kuselan’ that was recently released under Kavithalaya’s and Seven Arts productions, is currently facing lot of troubles with the distributors incurring heavy loss of around Rs 40 crores. Estimating Rajni’s film to get good collections in the first few weeks, most of the theatre owners in Tamilnadu have purchased the film. But much to the surprise of everyone the loss of Kuselan is likely to cross the limit of Rajni’s earlier ‘Baba’. The distributors claim that the makers have sold the film by saying that it is cent per cent Rajnikanth’s film who later came to know that the film’s hero is not Rajni. However, Rajni had promised to compensate the loss to the distributors of the box office since the film is confirmed as a big flop

extravagant opening thrills 91000 at national stadium

BEIJING (AP) -- Once-reclusive China commandeered the world stage Friday, celebrating its first-time role as Olympic host with a stunning display of pyrotechnics and pageantry -- topped by the unworldly sight of a flying gymnast, traversing the heights of the stadium to light the flame and begin the Summer Games.

Now ascendant as a global power, China welcomed scores of world leaders to an opening ceremony watched by 91,000 people at the eye-catching National Stadium and a potential audience of 4 billion worldwide. It was depicted as the largest, costliest extravaganza in Olympic history, bookended by barrages of some 30,000 fireworks.

It ended in spectacular fashion, when China's first Olympic superstar, 1984 six-time gymnastics gold medalist Li Ning, was hoisted by wires to the top of the stadium, circled the entire circumference as though he was spacewalking, then used his torch to send a torrent of flame spiraling upward to light the Olympic flame in a huge cauldron overlooking Beijing.

That was preceded by the parade of athletes, climaxing with the entry of the 639-strong Chinese team; It was led by flag-bearer and basketball idol Yao Ming alongside a 9-year-old schoolboy who survived May's devastating earthquake in Sichuan province.

The welcome -- by a frenzied, chanting, flag-waving crowd that sought to cool itself with paper fans in the stifling heat -- was thunderous. And moments later, the crowd erupted again when President Hu Jintao declared the games formally open.

President Bush and Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin were among the glittering roster of notables who watched China make this bold declaration that it had arrived. Bush, rebuked by China after he raised human-rights concerns this week, is the first U.S. president to attend an Olympics on foreign soil.

Already an economic juggernaut, China is given a good chance of overtaking the U.S. atop the gold-medal standings with its legions of athletes trained intensely since childhood. One dramatic showdown will be in women's gymnastics, where the U.S. and Chinese teams are co-favorites; in the pool, Chinese divers and U.S. swimmers are expected to dominate.

The run-up to the games had epic story lines -- China investing $40 billion to build the needed infrastructure, reeling from the catastrophic earthquake in May, struggling right up to Friday to diminish Beijing's stubborn smog. China's detentions of political activists, its crackdown on uprisings in Tibet and its economic ties to Sudan -- home of the war-torn Darfur region -- fueled relentless criticisms from human rights groups and calls for an Olympic boycott.

Second-guessed for awarding the games to Beijing, the International Olympic Committee stood firmly by its decision. It was time, the committee said, to bring the games to the homeland of 1.3 billion people, a fifth of humanity.

"For a long time, China has dreamed of opening its doors and inviting the world's athletes to Beijing for the Olympic Games," IOC President Jacques Rogge said in his speech. "Tonight, that dream comes true."

Rogge mentioned the Sichuan earthquake, saying the world was moved "by the great courage and solidarity of the Chinese people." And he exhorted the assembled athletes, as role models for the world's youth, to "reject doping and cheating."

The story presented in Friday's pageantry sought to distill 5,000 years of Chinese history -- featuring everything from the Great Wall to opera puppets to astronauts, and highlighting achievements in art, music and science. Roughly 15,000 people were in the cast, all under the direction of Zhang Yimou, whose early films often often ran afoul of government censors for their blunt portrayals of China's problems.

He produced some majestic and ethereal imagery -- at one point a huge, translucent globe emerged from the stadium floor, and acrobats floated magically around it to the accompaniment of the games' theme song, "One World, One Dream."

The show's script steered clear of modern politics -- there were no references to Chairman Mao and the class struggle, nor to the more recent conflicts and controversies. The ceremony was taped for broadcast 12 hours later in the United States.

A record 204 delegations paraded their athletes through the stadium -- superstars such as tennis great Roger Federer and basketball's Kobe Bryant, as well as plucky underdogs from Iraq, Afghanistan and other embattled lands. The nations were marching not in the traditional alphabetical order but in a sequence based on the number of strokes it takes to write their names in Chinese. The exceptions were Greece, birthplace of the Olympics, which was given its traditional place at the start, and the Chinese team, which lined up last.

Athletes from Japan, an old foe and current economic rival of China, were greeted coolly by the crowd even though they waved tiny Chinese flags. But cheers erupted for the next delegation, Taiwan, which China considers a breakaway province that should reunite with the mainland.

The U.S. team -- second-largest after China's with nearly 600 members -- was welcomed loudly, with many in crowd recognizing the basketball stars who brought up the rear. Bush rose from his VIP seat to wave at the athletes, nattily dressed in white trousers, blue blazers, red-white-and-blue-striped ties and white caps.

"It was a breathtaking experience walking into the stadium," said Oganna Nnamani, a volleyball player from Bloomington, Ill. "I am thankful to be part of this moment."

"This is the biggest stage," said LeBron James, who hopes to lead the U.S. basketball team to a gold medal.

The American flag-bearer was 1500-meter runner Lopez Lomong, one of the Lost Boys of Sudan, who spent a decade of his youth in a refugee camp in Kenya. He's a member of the Team Darfur coalition, representing athletes opposed to China's support for Sudan. On Friday he avoided any criticism and said the Chinese "have been great putting all these things together."

Abroad, human rights activists were less generous.

"The Chinese government and the International Olympic Committee have wasted a historic opportunity to use the Beijing Games to make real progress on human rights in China," said Sophie Richardson of Human Rights Watch.

For Chinese dissidents who have dared to challenge the Communist Party's monopoly on power, the start of the Olympics meant tighter surveillance and restrictions.

"It's not my Olympic Games," said Jiang Tianyong, a human rights lawyer. "It's not the games for the ordinary people."

By all indications, however, most Chinese have embraced the games, buying up tickets at a record pace, volunteering by the thousands for Olympic duties, nursing expectations of triumphs by their home team.

To their eyes, the omens were good. The ceremony began at 8 p.m. on the eighth day of the eighth month of 2008 -- auspicious in a country where eight is the luckiest number.

"It not easy to meet with such a date," said Wang Wei, secretary general of Beijing Organizing Committee. "Hopefully this lucky day will bring luck."

mumaith with mika singh in love.com

Do you all remember the Punjabi Pop Singer Mika Singh (younger brother of Daler Mehndi), who had a controversial issue by publicly kissing the hot and spicy Rakhi Sawanth two years ago! Yes! The same Mika Singh is now going to share the silver screen for the first time with Tollywood’s voluptuous beauty Mumaith Khan in a Hindi film titled ‘Love.com’. Vinod Mukhi is directing this interesting flick. Let’s hope that Mika doesn’t get into any more controversies this time. Mumaith! This is a caution to you.
