When you read about the stories of actors becoming heroes and achieving stardom, it involves a lot of struggle, hard work and efforts to make it big. But we have one star achieved all this only through internet? He is none other than Sampoornesh Babu.
 
 Sampoo managed to impress many audiences across the state.Telangana misnietr harish rao also one among them. This portly actor with a funny face hails from siddipet; the own constituency of Harish Rao. Minister T Harish Rao felicitated Sampu the other day. The six-foot-something minister towered over the 'hero' who looked coy and mightily pleased.

Movie: Ladies and Gentlemen(Telugu)
Banner: Shridi Sai Combines 
Cast: Mahat Raghavendra, Adivi Sesh, Chaitanya Krishna and others
Story: Sanjeev Reddy
Dialogues: Nivas 
Director: PB Manjunath 
Relese Date: Jan 30th, 2014

APTrendz Rating: 3/5
Story: Like all films of this genre, the film follows the stories of three couples who are impacted by social media. So, we have a student Krishnamurthy (Chaitanya Krishna), a bored housewife Priya (Nikita Narayan) and a call centre employee Vijay (Mahat Raghavendra).  

 Though Krish dreams of having a girlfriend, like all boys of his age, he is shy and awkward. So, he hunts the Net to make friends with girls. One day, his prayers are answered and Deepa (Swathi Dixit) sends him a friend message.  

 Then, there is the rich but bored housewife Priya who has an ideal husband in Anand, who runs his own software firm (Kamal Kamaraju). But she wants the little joys of life which Anand has no time for due to busy schedules. So, when her college friend Rahul (Adivi Sesh) pops up suddenly, she ends up flirting with him.  

 Last, but not the least, there is Vijay (Mahat Raghavendra). He is a call centre employee, but dreams big and does not think twice before taking huge loans and resorting to inappropriate means to make money. And he splurges on his model girlfriend Anjali.
Plus:
  • Climax
  • Concept
Minus:
  • First half

Technical details:
The main highlight of the film is surely the now popular Raghu Kunche song, Social network andi babu. The song is all over social media and is likely to be around for quite some time. Once again, Raghu Kunche comes up with that one song which the audiences will hum for a long, long time. 

Cinematography, editing, screenplay all are decent. The producer has taken care to provide the right backdrop for the film to make sure that it adds authenticity to the plot. As for director PB Manjunath, he debuts with the film. After working as an associate director for various films like Back Bench Student, etc, he gets a chance to make his own film. While his style of telling is in keeping with small budget films, he unfortunately gets to work with a stale story.

BottomLine : Message Matters!!!

If you are a fan of Pawan Kalyan, then this is rather sad news for you. He has already had a release this year for Sankranthi. He had a role that was not more than half an hour and the film went on to become an average hit. But looks like that’s what his fans are going to get for this year.
  

Though Gabbar Singh 2 is lined up for shooting, it is said that he may not shoot any time soon, due to health problems. Talk in tollywood is that Pawan has been suffering from excrutiating back pain and that he might have to go in for a major surgery. Once he gets his surgery done in the USA, Pawan will return to shoot for Gabbar Singh 2. 

 So, the film won’t go on to the sets till later this year and the release will surely be slated for early next year. Till then, looks like his fans will have to keep chanting ‘Gopala Gopala' mantra

It is known that Ram Charan and Srinu Vytla have teamed up for the project 'My Name Is Raju'.     Did you know the special elements of this crazy project? Check it out here...

As per reliable sources, 'My Name Is Raju' is routed to be a Suspense Thriller and Ram Charan will be seen as a bike racer in this project. Samantha will play the leading lady. Tamil star comedian Santhanam will be acting in Vytla's flick for the first time. The remix song of Chiru's blockbuster is going to be another highlight.

A-Listers like Ram Charan and Srinu Vytla preferring a change of genre and that too a Suspense Thriller is very rare to happen. It shows they were consciously trying to out do their past works. Good to see them in such frame of mind and expect a high quality product to hit the screens for Dussehra 2015!

This statement must of made you little shock "Chandrababu sets KCR as an example!" but for what? If we go little deep into the story, the Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu have given a few instructions.

Naidu said not to blame the central government for helping out financially in a very meagre way, instead wait for them to understand the problems of the state. He clearly stated, it is their responsibility to make the demands clear and reasonable. He also said "They have their share of problems at the Center. There is no point in banging the Center. Lets go slow and bring funds needed in instalments if needed. Do not make any raging comments in media."

However, setting TS Chief Minister KCR as an example who has fired words at Modi is even unable to get an appointment to talk to PM Narendra Modi. So, is he making his party men alert not to make any allegations against the BJP and Modi? Lets see!

WhatsApp is the most-used messaging and social networking platform today. However, WhatsApp is limited to smartphones and you cannot use it on desktops. But here comes the end and from now you can start chatting in Whatsapp using your PCs too.

WhatsApp web version comes with Google Chrome browser to mirror your conversations and messages from mobile device. That means all your  messages will remain on your mobile and a copy of it can be accessed through the browser.

 To install Whatsapp on your PC first you need to have latest mobile app version i.e. 2.11.498 version or higher. After that, simply point your Chrome browser to https://web.whatsapp.com. You will see a QR code, scan the code inside of WhatsApp and you are ready to go.

You have to take a picture of a QR code through WhatsApp on your phone. This is necessary, presumably, because WhatsApp uses your phone number and SMS verifications rather than usernames/passwords.

Poonam Pandey and ICC Worldcup 2015


Poonam is back with her assets for ICC World Cup 2015
Poonam is back with her assets for ICC World Cup 2015
Popular twitter star Poonam Pandey is getting ready for the big show yet again. As it is known that she has shot to fame by vowing to go nude if Team India wins cricket world cup in 2010., Poonam is repeating similar acts even now. Her micro-blogging site is now getting flooded with the message related to her preparations for the cricket cup. Poonam is busy asking her followers about the kind of things they would like her to do on the world cup eve. Of course, she may be promising another such clothes-less render for them.

It's as if the flood gates have been opened for experimentation in Tollywood finally. Through the '80s and '90s, 'most' of the Telugu films worked within set formulae which revolved around romance, revenge and sentiment.
Since 2000, the industry has been seeing some effort in trying to work with stories that are different from run-of-the-mill stuff. But with the success of films like Manam, Drushyam and even Gopala Gopala, all of which are totally different from each other, finally, the industry seems to have realized that experiments are the new ‘formula’.
Of course, all the three films had stars which also added to the curiosity quotient. In fact, Gopala Gopala proved that an experiment with top stars can fetch Rs 40 crore share. If the film made Rs 30 crore business and if the producers released the film, it would have made much more say industry insiders.
Since it has now been proven that the Telugu audiences are open to watch different films made with varying budgets, the producers are now keen on making such films. Finally, change seems to be on the horizon.

'Baahubali' actor Rana Daggubati is a very open person. Unlike other star kids, he doesn’t show off and is very practical in real life.
His latest Bollywood movie ‘Baby’ got released on January 23rd and the film opened up to mostly positive reviews.
Speaking to a national daily about his childhood, Rana said, “Ram Charan, Naga Chaitanya and Allu Arjun are my close friends. I failed in my tenth class and then, I moved to Hyderabad from Chennai. I knew Charan from my childhood and when I got to know that he failed in 6th class, we became close friends”.
Well, nobody knew about Ram Charan’s academics till Rana revealed about them. Looks like these star kids already knew that they are going to become Mega Powerstar and Tollywood Hunk’s in class six itself and that might be the reason why they have ignored their studies.
