With by-elections are round the corner, a very important leader of TRS has jumped into BJP leaving TRS in deep shock. He is Ennam Srinivasa Reddy, the president of TRS Mehboob Nagar district. He not only jumped into BJP but also contesting from Mehboob Nagar against TRS candidate Ibrahim. Although, the exact reason for his migration is not known yet, a wide guess is that he might be disappointed for not getting party ticket for contesting in the by-elections.
The fading beauty of Tollywood Priyamani got only one Telugu film 'Kshetram' in her hand. So, when few days ago Kollywood director Bharati Raja has offered a role in his upcoming Tamil film, she at once jumped for it and blab blabs in media about her luck to bag a chance in his film. But, when the time has come to start the work she shocks him stating her dates are clashing where as she has not a single film in hand.
The reason behind her refusal is Bharati Raja has offered her a village girl role in his film, which she dislikes. She is doing the same kind of role in a Kannada film. So, if she acts in the same kind of role again, she fears branded for that kind of roles only. So, she simply escapes showing dates problem. Bharati Raja is the one who introduced her to Tamil film industry. So, he might be hurt with her rejection.
Priyanaka Chopra is a daredevil. She is fond of games like Skydiving and Bungee Jumping and Rafting.

She says that her secret desire is to go for Skydiving with her boyfriend. She also insists on doing her own stunts in films.
She says that as far as possible she will do her own stunts without the help of stuntwoman. It is reported that she has done her own stunts like jumping form a high building and other risky shots for her film ‘Don’.
2012/1/7 12:27:04 While the three major political parties-Congress, TDP and TRS are gearing-up for the bye-elections in the Telangana region, an unexpected development shocks them all, especially TRS party.
Telangana martyrs forum president Raghuma Reddy has announced that they will contest for the 4 seats in the bye-elections. He declared that Bhukyadev Singh from Adilabad, Tagore Prasad from Station Ghanpur, Uppalayya from Kamareddy, and Bandari AdiLakshmi from Kollapur will contest in the bye-elections on behalf of their forum. He told the media that they are asking the widow of late Rajeswar Reddy to contest from Mehboob Nagar constituency.
He asked all the political parties to support their candidates and to prove their sincerity towards Telangana cause. He also stated that whoever opposes their candidates will be treated as Telangana traitors. However, his statement made from NTR Trust Bhavan makes Congress and TRS suspect his sincerity. Although, TRS didn't made any comments on his proposal it suspects Chandrababu hand in glove. TRS is embarrassed with this unpredicted development and searching for ways to overcome the problem.
2012/4/6 3:11:15 Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy, PCC president Botsa Satyanarayana and Deputy Chief Minister Damodara Raja Narasimha have returned home with black faces as their party chief Sonia Gandhi doesn't give appointment to them.
After compromising with each other Kiran Kumar Reddy and Botsa Satyanarayana have tried to meet Sonia Gandhi to assure her that they will work together for the party. But, she has refused to meet them.
However, she has invited the new born leader of the party Chiranjeevi to New Delhi. So, he is taking off to Delhi in today evening flight. Although, insults are not new to the state Congress leaders at New Delhi, the way the three heads of the state were humiliated shocks the party leaders in the state. Everyone in the state Congress has only one doubt in their minds. What makes Sonia like the inexperienced and newly joined leader Chiranjeevi only from the state? Does she takes the rest for granted?
2011/10/26 22:52:24 We have seen some TDP leaders from Telangana region are jumping into TRS party these days, but not seen any Congress leader trying it. Although, some Congress leaders like KK, Komati Reddy and others have been moving closely with TRS these days, none of them have gave any hint of leaving Congress to join TRS until now. Jupalli Krishna Rao, who first resigned for Telangana cause would be the first person from Congress party is planning to join TRS in the next month. Most probably, he may join TRS party on November 4th in the presence of KCR and all other big heads of the party. According to reports, one more leader from Congress party from Palamur may also quit party to join TRS on the same day. Komati Reddy and K.Kesav Rao are also giving strong signals of leaving Congress party any time, but not revealing their plans.
In that case, it would be the part of swiping of Congress party out of Telangana area as announced by KCR some time ago. Let us see whether Congress will let its cadres jump into TRS on Telangana issue or retain them by announcing statehood to Telangana?
Megastar Akshay Kumar has always been associated with dare devil stunts, whether jumping from sky-scrapper or hanging from a helicopter to rescue damsel in distress, he has done it all.
But in a role reversal for his forthcoming blockbuster WELCOME, Akshay is rescued by Katrina Kaif!
In a very whacky scene in the film Akshay jumps into the fire to save Katrina Kaif, but he is so afraid of the fire that he faints. Katrina then literally had to lift Akshay and get him out of the fire.
Says producer Firoz Nadiadwala, "Anees Bazmi, the director had conceived the particular hilarious scene. In fact whilst shooting for the scene, we were apprehensive of Akshay jumping inside the fire since it was risky.
But Akshay being Akshay just jumped inside the fire. He even got his right hand burnt but he didn't tell us. We got to know about it once the shooting was over."
WELCOME is Akshay Kumar's last comedy of the year after a string of consecutive hits starting with NAMASTE LONDON, HEYY BABYY and BHOOL BHULAIYA.
WELCOME is slated to release on Dec 21st 2007. Bollywood's HIT MACHINE is on a roll!
2011/9/29 8:13:03 Ali 369, the game show aired on ETV on Wednesday night prime time at 9.30 pm turned out to be a nightmare to some of the participants and they couldn’t hide their feelings either, nor could they be edited.
To start with the game show anchored by popular comedian Ali, has three groups and a very healthy (lots of calories, say fat) person in each group. It is not a show where IQ is tested but it has elements of running around and jumping over.
Just imagine the plight of big boys and girls panting and grasping for breath to complete the show.
In the first show chubby actress Geeta Singh and her partner, TV Anchor Kishore Kumar Das and his partner along with Tirupathi Prakash participated which had lot or running around, jumping and other physical demands which are many knots beyond any normal game show.
Of the many rounds, sitting on an erratic spring bull for 60 seconds after wading through an inflatable podium seems to be the most gruesome for chubby souls. It took lot of effort for Geeta Singh to reach the bull, with the help of co participants. Climbing the bull itself was another feat. After she managed to reach atop the jerks and churning of the bull came into play and she was dislodged in half the time.
Though she could keep her composure she did cry out that her head was spinning at one point of time.
Kishore Das, the other chubby participant, said no to the horrific form and his partner, who plays the role of K Roshaiah in the political parody, Evadi Gola Vadidi, took up the challenge and lost it by just five seconds.
In a bid of solidarity, Ali himself mounted the bull and fell down after halftime. This apart there is some running around arranging photos of artistes under the film’s name and digging out the balls from a maze are some of the physically challenging rounds.
Though some of the rounds like ‘not reacting’ to anything for 60 seconds questions on the scene just enacted look interesting the jumping jingle is too hard on the participants though it evokes humour sometimes, it is sad to see them struggle.
Bobby Deol will be seen doing some daredevil stunts in director Sangeeth Sivan's yet untitled thriller.
Bobby has the looks, the machismo and the physique to fit convincingly into the role of an action hero. Although he has been doing serious and romantic roles in some of his previous releases, the spunky Deol is now retuning to action.
The actor reportedly plays a negative role in Sangeeth Sivan's next movie.
In the film he will be seen in several action sequences that show him jumping off the 14th floor of a building, swinging on a crane and landing atop a moving train, etc.
The stunts have been shot under the guidance of expert action director Hanes from the South.
Bobby says he actually hadn’t planned to do some stunts in the film (like jumping off from a building). But he did it on the spur of the moment while shooting the film.
“The excitement and energy levels were quite high. I simply got carried away by the moment. I wanted to go through the experience doing a really dangerous stunt,” Bobby is quoted as saying.
However, the actor says he would think twice before doing so again.
Apart from this movie, Bobby will be seen playing a negative character in Suneel Darshan’s movie Shakalaka Boom Boom also.

2011/3/9 5:07:08 Vasireddy Padma who bid good bye to Chiranjeevi and his PRP has announced that, she and her husband Wesley are going to join Jagan’s camp on 12th of March in a meeting to be held at Jaggampeta in East Godavari district in the presence of YS.Jagan Mohan Reddy.
Though, she mentioned in her resignation letter that, she will not blame or criticize Chiranjeevi or his party in the later periods, the next day she stated that, she didn’t get her due respect in the party and also opposed the merging of PRP into Congress party.
She said that, PRP which was especially launched to dethrone the corrupt Congress party from the power has merged into the same merely to gain political mileage. She criticized that, it is a unethical tie-up between PRP and Congress party.

2010/12/2 9:03:16 He is known as ‘King Khan’ in Bollywood. He is one of those four Khans who are ruling the Bollywood. He is Shahrukh Khan. It is strongly believed that his presence in a film is half way to success. But, now his photograph also acquired the same status of him in the web. A photo showing him lip locked with John Barrowman came into wide circulation shocks his fans. John happened to be the second guest in a popular chat show ‘Ross Show’ aired by a leading British News Channel. However, the channel skips the lip lock show to avoid controversies.
2007/10/8 14:27:30 The Greater Hyderabad congress President Danam Nagendar has given another shock to Babu. Nagendar joined the TDP in the last elections after he failed to get the congress ticket. Babu rewarded him with a ticket to the Asifnagar constituency. Nagendar won the seat but quit the TDP after YS swept the polls. He ditched Babu without even a second thought and came back to the Congress. The incident came as a big shock to Babu. The turncoat Nagendar is now in the good books of YSR and is considered to be on very good terms with the chief minister. Now, in a bid to please his boss, Nagendar is planning to take legal action against Babu for his allegation that YSR is making one crore rupees per hour. Nagam has conveniently forgot that it was the same Babu who had bailed him out with a ticket when the congress party ditched him. But in politics, backstabbers are very common and Nagendar is just one example.
Bollywood is turning super-athletic. Not only are we being prepared for a series of sport-centric films, like Shimit Amin's Chak De (hockey), Vivek Agnihotri's Goal (football) and Nisha Chainani's Mumbai Marathon , our heroes are constantly trying out new adventure-sports for films.
Among the actors, however, it is Harman Baweja who takes the cake. By practising the adventurous outdoor sport parkour, the actor who will make his debut with Love Story 2050 along side Priyanka Chopra, has just become Indian cinema's first certifiable traceur (parkour practitioner).
Explaining the nature of the sport, Harman said, "Parkour is actually urban free running. What it requires you to do is run across streets, building precipices, skyscrapers in one linear movement without breaking the momentum and without being mindful of the hurdles. That's precisely what I've done in Love Story 2050 '.
Apparently, Harman was severely bruised and battered while doing the unprecedented stunts.
"It wasn't easy. But nothing challenging is easy. And I love challenges. Our audiences are bored of watching the same supposedly heart-in-the-mouth stunts. They want to see new stunts.
"They got it in Dhoom and Krrish . Hopefully, what I've done in Love Story 2050 will also be a new experience. Jumping from skyscrapers is passé. Jumping over them is the new high," he said.
As far as actors go, in Anubhav Sinha's forthcoming Cash , Riteish Deshmukh does Street Luge, which involves lying down on a skateboard and chasing cars.
Earlier, in Dhoom 2 , Hrithik surprised moviegoers by practising water and ice sports that Indian audiences had never seen.

2007/7/3 3:14:33
When you have a film which stars seven top stars of Bollywood, there are bound to be funny incidents galore! And this time poor Shamita Shetty happened to be a victim of prankster Ajay Devgan while shooting for Anubhav Sinha's multi starrer thrill ride CASH .
It came when she was least expecting it. " Ajay went shopping one day and came up to me with this toy they said which resembled an ipod. He and Zayed told me to listen to the new song of CASH on it. I thought it was really sleek and couldn't wait to hear the song. But the moment I turned it on, I got the shock of my life! It was actually a device that gave out electric shocks and currents, I was totally freaked out!" says an amused Shamita.
Well, that's Ajay Devgan for you, serious and fun at the same time!
The human trafficking episode involving BJP MP Kataria has an Hyderabad angle. A personal assistant to TRS leader is alleged to be involved in the racket. TRS leader Chandrashekar Rao however denied any role into the whole episode.
He however said that if any party leader was involved he would take action. About 70 Gujaratis are supposed to have traveled abroad on fake documents from Hyderabad so far. Each of them have paid anywhere between 10 lakhs and 30 lakhs to the agents for this purpose.
New Delhi, Oct 19 (IANS) Ranbir Kapoor took time out from his professional commitments to meet the Indian Army soldiers who guard the borders, jumping at the opportunity to travel to Nahan in Himachal Pradesh.
Ranbir spent the day with the soldiers and even got a first-hand look at the challenges they fface and training they undergo, when he visited them for NDTV's "Jai Jawaan" episode earlier this month.
Apart from sharing a meal with them and entertaining them, Ranbir participated in some firing practice, followed by rock climbing and rappelling. He also played a rugby match with the soldiers.
YS Jagan is all set to float his new party soon. The name, flag and colors will be worked out and revealed in a couple of months affording to sources close to the leader.
While this is fine it is understood that former congress leader Chengondi Harirama Jogaiah who later sided with Chiranjeevi’s Praja Rajyam is now trying to get close to Jagan.
Chegondi is known as a foul mouth and also as iron leg so Jagan would do well to keep this man as far away as possible. Otherwise Jagan will also have to face embarrassment like Chiranjeevi did.
Remember Okkamogadu? Balakrishna is known to go overboard with his screen acts. In Okkamogadu Balayya in a old man’s get up did some astounding feats like jumping from 100 feat, staying underwater for a long time, doing martial arts like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan etc.
Venkatesh has done some similar stuff in his latest release Nagavalli. Venky playing the character of a 130 year old king did many similar feats that did not impress the audience one bit but evoked laughter.
It is time our aged heroes understood that they can do something and get away but doing things that are hard to believe and digest will only makes them laughing stock among the audience.
