Reel Talk: When Chiru played Psychiatrist!

Chiranjeevi played Psychiatrist recently. No he did not play the role of a psychiatrist in a movie but in real life.

It is well known that Chiru and Srikanth are the best of friends. Or should we say, more like brothers. Chiranjeevi has great love for Sriknath and in turn Sriknath has the highest regard and admiration for Chiranjeevi.

Srikanth was in a depression some time back following a string of flops. Srikanth was so dejected that he refused to move out of his house and meet people. Chiranjeevi then called up Srikanth and counseled him. He spoke to Srikanth about life and how there are always ups and down in life. Chiru asked Srikanth to take both success and failure in his stride. And Chiru’s counseling has done wonders – look how Srikanth has bounced back and his recent films are a testimony to this.

Support to Sanjay Dutt : Congress Divided

Congress seems to be speaking in different voices on the Sanjay Dutt issue out of its political compulsions.

While the official party position continues to steer clear of the knotty issues concerning the Bollywood actor's conviction by a Tada court and maintains certain distance from him, two ministers have gone gung-ho in lionising Sanjay and drumming up support for him.

"We are concerned about Sanjay but a political party cannot do anything about such a case; we must have confidence in the legal system," Congress spokesman Abhishek Singhvi said on Monday reiterating the party position.

This seemingly terse and detached statement was purported to be the party stand on the illegal possession of arms case resulting in a six-year jail term for Sanjay. In taking a diagonally opposite view, minister for science and technology Kapil Sibal urged Congressmen to rally behind the Dutt family in the hour of crisis.

"Congress should stand by the Dutts because of the enormous contributions made by them," Sibal said. He, in fact, assailed former Attorney General Soli Sorabjee for questioning his stand and asking him not to "send a message" during the pendency of the case.

Incensed by Sorabjee's remarks, Sibal accused him of maintaining silence on the Ayodhya demolition issue. "He never said it was improper for the law minister (in the NDA government) to give certificates of innocence to L K Advani, M M Joshi and Uma Bharati," Sibal said.

He also wondered why Sorabjee had "kept quiet" on the Gujarat riots. "What happened to his moral streak and righteousness when Gujarat was convulsed by riots?" Sibal asked.

Moving even a step further, his cabinet colleague P R Dasmunsi said that Sanjay Dutt inspired the younger generation. Seen in the context of such strong assertions, the restrained statement of the official party spokesman appears to be intended to serve a purpose.

As a political party, Congress seems reluctant to side with the actor known for his association with the underworld at one point in his career and tried and convicted in a case linked to the 1993 serial blasts in Mumbai. Perhaps the party is apprehensive of evoking a middle-class backlash by openly siding with Sanjay. Congress insiders admit that taking a more sympathetic stand would have paved the way for demands for support for every partyman getting caught in a similar legal tangle.

Actress alleges she was raped by businessman

Actress Padma Narayanan, who is currently at the Puzhal prison for allegedly blackmailing the businessman Pradeep Konra, claimed in a written complaint on Monday, that the businessman Pradeep Konra had allegedly filed false charges against her and framed her as she threatened to go public about their relationship if he refused to marry her.

"Pradeep asked me to come for his birthday party which he was holding at The Park hotel on July 24 at 5 pm. When I went there, he was not alone but with another friend Nirmal Kumar and they were both in an inebriated condition," she said.

Padma claimed that she was given a cool drink mixed with a drug. After drinking it, she passed out and was repeatedly raped by the two men. "Since, I was unconscious at that time, I realised what happened only the following morning," she said.

The next morning when Padma confronted him about their four-year-long relationship and demanded that he marry her, Pradeep had allegedly threatened her against going public about their relationship. She alleged that he also threatened to file a complaint with the police about the adult video films they had shot together. According to sources, Padma is soon expected to be out on bail. Further investigations are on.

' I will cite an incident to show the relationship between us ' Once Srikanth invited our entire family to his son's first birthday and he wanted me to cut the cake.

Though both the parties refuse to comment on it, a close friend reveals, "The couple have sorted out their difference after John returned from Pondicherry. They're very much together. In fact John is going through a family illness. And Bipasha is with him throughout."

When asked Bipasha shrugs off the 'on' status of her relationship with John. "I don't think I want to talk about my personal life anymore. What's happening there is for me to know.But yes, John and I have come together professionally again after Goal, this time with an item song in Anurag Kashyap's No Smoking."

But it wasn't the presence of John that impelled Bipasha to accept the song. "Certainly not! It was Vishal Bhardwaj, the man who gave me two of my best item number Beedi and Namak in Omkara. He told me about the item song in No Smoking at the IIFA in Yorkshire. After what the Omkara numbers did to my stage presence I promptly said yes to Vishal."

What about the danger of being branded an item girl?

"When have I cared about my image?" Bipasha shrugs. "And besides I've full faith in the intelligence of the film industry, also my audiences. By now they know what I'm capable of, and it's not just items."

Bipasha is now looking forward to shaking a leg with John for No Smoking. "Though we've done songs before, John and I have never done this kind of sizzling number before. Vishal has pulled out all stops in the composition."

Bipasha is sure the number will be a rage. "John and I are have fun dancing to it. I love the tune. Shooting it feels really good. Hopefully it'll be another number to bring the house down at my stage concerts."

But it seems Rani's mom is not too happy about it and has been nagging her girl to give up the bad habit. Rani has tried to give up smoking but ultimately she has always gone back to her habit as she develops various problems when she quits.

But now due to the constant confrontations with her mom, Rani has resorted to smoking in the loo and hiding her cigarettes when mommy dearest is around. Rani also regularly carries mint and deodorant around so that if her mom pops in she can always use it to lessen the smoke smell.

Snippet: Mohanbabu To Remake Hindi 'Apne'!

Mohanbabu has been in long romance with films which saw him trying his hand at a wide variety of roles in films. He is the most successful producer in the past. He always played safe by remaking hit movies from other languages. But unfortunately his success mantra is not working with his sons. All of his home productions with his dudes are dumb. But he still believes in the remake trick. He is all set to remake 'Bunty Aur Bubbly' and Jim Cary's 'Bruce Almighty'. The latest news is that we are going to see the father-sons combo pack in remake of Hindi film "APNE".

"MohanBabu had been planning, for quite a long time, to make a film with all of them together but could not find the right script." In fact, a couple of story ideas were sacked at the scripting stage itself after he felt that they would not do justice to their status as actors. Then, he came upon the Hindi movie 'Apne' which seemed just the perfect film for all of them to come together," say one of the writers close to the actor.
'Apne' is the story of a disgraced boxer (Mohanbabu) who wants to get back his honor by making his elder son (Vishnu) a boxer of international repute. However, ultimately it is the younger son (Manoj) who steps in to fulfill his father's dream when the elder one refuses to become a boxer. The film has got good reviews in Hindi because of Dharmendra's charisma. But shall we say Awesome for this three-some in Tollywood.

Well, Charm should take care that she shouldn't lose her bubbly look by becoming slim. Bubbly appearance gives sex appeal for many. Nayantara lost that with wrong assessment. Charmy shouldn't do that now.

Screen Talk: Sai Kumar's Past Is Miserable

Dialogue King Sai Kumar shared his past and that shakes the hearts of many with miserable feelings.
When asked about his entry into film industry he started saying, "My father PJ Sharma was a drama artiste in Vijayanagaram. Many encouraged him to try for films and go to Madras. With many hopes he came to Madras. He loved another actress and married her. She is my mother Krishna Jyothy. Theirs is an inter caste marriage.
But as assumed, my father did not get considerable roles. Even though some gave, there was no guarantee that they would keep the scene in film without editing till the release of the film. Whenever my father used to go to watch preview shows, the people used to say, 'Sharma garu! Velli venakala seetlo koorchuntaara? Seatlu levaa? Ponee tharvatha choodduru lendi". I used to feel very bad and pity for my father. With a lot of insecurity feeling my father switched over to dubbing. He used to get livelihood with that. But once there was a movement that dubbing films were stopped. Then my father got no job at all. My parents sat with hunger to feed us. All those memories still haunt me. I played the role of Duryodhana on stage and got many acclaims. Many told my father that I would become a good actor. Even my father wanted to see me as good actor. But time didn't come in favor very soon. It took time. I continued as dubbing artiste and brought star status for that department. I got the opportunity to lend my voice for senior heroes like Suman, Rajni Kanth and Suman. Slowly I acted in Chiranjeevi gari 'Challenge'. Then there was a gap again. After a very long time with my contacts with Thriller Manju I could become a hero on Kannada screen. Tamil hero Sivaji Ganesan was my role model. I took him as inspiration and acted in 'Police Story'. The film is a history. That made thumping collections. I acted in about 100 films in Telugu, Tamil and Kannada as hero. But when I made 'Eeshwar Alla', that kicked me into losses. I lost my mother last year. She wished to continue my dubbing for Raja Sekhar. He treats Sai Kumar also as his son. That is the reason I gave my voice for Raja Sekhar again in 'Yevadaithey Nakenti'.
That's the nostalgia shared by Sai Kumar.
