Well, that's the characterization of Pawan Kalyan in the film that is being made with Pawan-Trivikram combination.

It is said that Pawan is playing the role of a man who is highly confident and the one who holds the conviction on his self to high degree.

That's The Problem between Ramya and Krishna!

Many wonder what is happening between Ramya Krishna and Krishna Vamshi. Some say that they have got separated. Some say that they are trying to live separate. Others say that there is nothing between them. Another set of people say that they are simply acting as if they are together but there is big split between them.

The fact is this as per the reliable sources. Ramya and Krishna Vamshi have been stubborn on various aspects with uncompromising nature. They started fighting for every silly reason.

The couple went to a village to perform pujas in order to overcome this situation. They have gone there together to undergo astrological remedies so that peace and understanding prevails between them. That's the place located near Madanapalli in Chittor district. Let us wish that the couple stay together for ever.

Snippet: Ali with Disgusting Skin Diseases

Don't come to conclusions. Ali is acting as if he is affected by two disgusting skin diseases, widely known in AP as 'Gajji-Taamara'. He is endorsing the product 'Manmohan Jaadu Malam', a medicine to cure skin diseases and itches.
