Impression: Kalyan Ram Also Burnt Out Fat?

Kalyan Ram is also looking slim and sturdy now. In actual sense, he is slimmer since the beginning. But now he is looking further slim. Has he done more work outs as NTR did? Or is he competing with him in looking slimmer? How come Nandamuri heroes look slimmer, which is far from their family picture? This is the topic that is in discussion now.

Kalyan Ram is looking slim in the posters of his fresh film he acted along with Vedika. That's the remake of Tamil film 'Siva Kasi'.

Samudra is directing the film and E Ranga Rao is the producer of it.

Recently the unit returned from Europe tour.

Poonam Bazwa Looks Sexier and Slimmer

Poonam Bazwa is now looking slim and sexy. The change is clearly apparent in the film 'Veduka' that was released freshly. She looked plump and hard to digest for eyes in the film 'Boss'.

After that she maintained strict dietary regulations and work outs to become slimmer. And her efforts are answered. Now she is slim and sexy.

But her acting skills are poor and she needs to groom up well in that aspect.

Nisha Says She Has Tight Bond With Ramu

There are two types of gossips those made rounds about Nisha Kothari in recent times. One is, it was said that Ram Gopal Varma ignored Nisha Kothari after starting his association with Jiah Khan. But Nisha ignored it. She said, "I'm doing as Basanthi in RGV's Sholay. I'm in touch with RGV almost all the time. That's enough to say that we have no differences".

But the second gossip was that Nisha and RGV are madly in love with each other and are engaged on phone hours together. When asked about this Nisha skipped with a smile.

Saying about her career she said, "I love doing any role in any language. At present I'm acting with Balakrishna in 'Okka Magadu'. I like to pervade on all screens of India like Sridevi".

Fact Sheet: Daggubati lands in trouble!

Daggubati Venkateshwar Rao, Congress MLA and eldest son-in-law of late former Chief Minister N T Rama Rao, normally a quiet and non-controversial politician, has landed himself in a controversial situation.

In a bid to defend his wife -- Union Minister of State for Human Resource Development Purandareshwari – in writing a strongly-worded letter to Telugu Desam president N Chandrababu Naidu for using the name of her father for political gains, Daggubati made a controversial statement, saying NTR himself had sought the help of the Congress in his last days. The statement kicked up a row and the Telugu Desam quickly turned the statement to its advantage and to malign the Daggubati couple.

Adding further fuel to the fire, Daggubati made yet another controversial statement stating that Chief Minister Dr Y S Rajasekhar Reddy was doing much more to the poor than what NTR did during his regime. Naturally, this has triggered a lot of resentment among the fans of NTR, who registered a strong protest. Daggubati was forced to beat the retreat, saying he had never meant to downplay NTR's role. But the damage has already been done, political analysts say.

Aditya Om's Variety Film With Variety Title

Aditya Om has been the struggling actor who is not being able to turn the heads of anyone. He is freshly coming up with the film 'DTS' where the caption is 'Nishabdam'.

The title itself is sounding new! D Nageshwara Rao is the producer of the film while DNR is the director. But it is said that the investor of this film is Aditya Om, whose name is camouflaged.

The film is made with comedy and suspense elements. It is in boxes and set to release. The producer is looking out for distributors and giving Ads in News Papers.

Will buyers come forward/ Will the film release? That has to be wait and seen.

CBN's Gift For D Ramanaidu for 2009 Elections

It's the incident happened just a few hours after Mahanadu. Dr D Ramanaidu was given Chirala and Paruchuru constituencies to make his people contest from the place.

He assigned the duty to Suresh Babu and asked him to look into the matter. Suresh Babu has a good Man Friday in his production team who is very close to him since childhood.

Suresh Babu gave him 6.5 lakh and asked him to go to Chirala and prepare ground work for one week. He has to spend that amount for plantation of tress; feeding his men and also gifting them with some things (may be like cricket kits). Another producer who is very close to Daggubati family is also going to be sent to Prauchuru to contest.

So the things are moving that way. Chandrababu is making his way by rubbing shoulders with film personalities to support him. Many are showing interest as well as they feel it's a definite success for TDP this time.

Telugu news channel: Countering competition

Through the last week in every Telugu news channel that you saw, every local newspaper you read, all you saw was corporate colleges tom-toming their achievements about the ranks their students got in the IIT entrance test and blah blah blah.

While Ramaiah was busy countering Narayana and Sri Chaitanya over how many IITians they managed to produce, he and you may have missed the smaller, yet significantly prominent ads by schools from districts of AP. They were not broadcasting their SSC toppers, for sure.

They were sending scroll upon advertising scroll on having produced students who topped the entrance test that Ramaiah conducts to give admission in his IIT coaching academy.

These are the schools that train students to get into the Ramaiah IIT study circle that in turn trains them for a seat in IIT. Phew! And so amidst all the glamour of the all India rankers, there was the modest beginnings of these small time schools that probably produced the prospective rankers. Take a bow.
