Jaya Bashing Journalists For Critical Reviews!

Jaya, the director of ‘Gundamma Gari Manavadu’, is making midnight calls to her fellow journalists and banging them for their critical reviews.

Side Talk: Tollywood Producer with Sex Worker

Raasi Movies Narasimha Rao had a funny experience recently in Bangkok. He went to Pattaya along with his friends and he went out on to roads alone for a while.

Then a lady came on her bike and stopped at him asking something. The producer didn't understand what the lady was asking but assumed that she is asking for paid dropping like in Goa (there will be paid two wheeler droppings in Goa from one place to another). He sat behind her but the lady suddenly picked p speed and roamed all the roads and finally dropped the man at the same place he boarded her bike.

The producer didn't understand why she did like that. Then later his friends explained him stating that the lady is a sex worker cum drug seller and as selling drugs is not legal, she was afraid of some police chasing. Hence she picked up speed and rode on all roads with fear.

That's the Pattaya experience of Narasimha Rao.
