'Taram Taram Nirantharam…' On Balayya With 16 Girls
The song 'Taram Taram nirantharam nee andam..oho anandam..andam aanandam..' was the song from old classic 'Panduranga Mahatyam' acted by NTR. Now it is known that the same film is going to be made by Raghavendra Rao as 'Ranga Panduranga'.
The old song was shot to show the flirt nature of hero. Now the same song is being shot (may be with different lyrics and tune where situation remains same) on Balakrishna with 16 heroines. Earlier itself the talk has cone out that 16 heroines are planned in the film 'Ranga Panduranga'. The purpose is only for the song but not for entire film.
That's really going to be an aesthetic one in the direction of K Raghavendra Rao. Is that not?!
Sachin back into top 10 ODI batsmen rankings
He is the only Indian batsman in the top 10. Vice-captain Yuvraj Singh is at 15th place, while captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni occupies the 16th position.
On the debit side of the ledger, however, former captain Rahul Dravid has slipped seven places and is now lies in 22nd place. India's highest-placed bowler in the relevant table is Harbhajan Singh, down in 29th position.
Australia's Andrew Symonds is within touching distance of top spot in the ODI batsmen rankings.
The powerful right-hander, who bludgeoned a brutal 107 from just 88 balls against India in Nagpur on Sunday, has rocketed up six spots to second place and is now just eight rating points behind his captain and team-mate Ricky Ponting.
That rise is a reflection of his outstanding form during the ongoing series as he is the leading run-scorer from either side with 365 runs at an average of 91.25 and a strike-rate of 110.94 runs per hundred balls.
Symonds, who has reached a career-high tally of rating points, forms an impressive Australian 1-2-3 at the top of the batting table, behind Ponting but ahead of Matthew Hayden, the winner of the ODI Player of the Year award at the ICC Awards in September and the second highest run-getter in the current series.
Three other Australians are in the top 11 - Michael Hussey (5th), Michael Clarke (8th) and Adam Gilchrist (11th).
The news is just as good for Ponting's men in the bowling list with left-arm wrist spinner Brad Hogg breaking into the top 10 on the back of being joint leading wicket-taker (alongside team-mate Mitchell Johnson) in the India series with 11 victims.
Hogg is one of three Australia bowlers in that top 10 with Nathan Bracken (3rd) and Brett Lee (9th) also featuring.
Vijayashanti dumps Narendra, prefers KCR!
After coming out of the Bharatiya Janata Party, film star-turned-politician Vijayashanti is virtually groping in the dark in so far as her political journey is concerned.
The latest news is that Vijayashanti has dumped Medak MP Ale Narendra, with whom and revolutionary balladeer Gaddar, she was originally planning to float a Telangana Front. Since there are no takers for her Talli Telangana party, she was running around Narendra. However, she soon realized that Narendra is bankrupt both financially and politically and that there are no takers for the proposed Telangana front. Moreover, Gaddar, too, has disassociated with Narendra gang, after realizing that he would only get bad name from this front.
Sources say Vijayashanti is contemplating joining hands with Telangana Rashtra Samithi. She reportedly sent feelers to the TRS leaders to this effect. If all goes well, she might share dais with TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao at the tribal hero Komuram Bheem death anniversary meeting in Adilabad district on October 26, sources say.

Reel Buzz: 'Chirutha' In Piracy Trap!
This was the incident happened in Kukatpally region couple of days ago. A 20 year old guy and a middle aged man were in a hotel while the former said in loud voice, "The camera print DVD of 'Chirutha' is in market now". Then the elder person reprimanded the boy saying, "Don't talk nonsense in public. Our own talkativeness' brings problems for us. Don't I know about that? Keep your mouth shut".
This was reported to greatandhra.com by its regular reader. He also said that the those two are appearing to be from film industry.
It was later noticed, as per the grapevine, that the DVDs are being found in towns of coastal Andhra as well in some selective outlets in Kukatpally Zone. A spy attack would unearth those DVDs if any.
Buzz: Jagapathi Babu Calls Her ‘Hello Rowdy’
There is good friendly rapport between Jagapathi Babu and Priyamani. He is so close to her that he calls her ‘Hello Rowdy’ whenever she makes a call to him. She also said that he calls her ‘Pokiri’ sometimes. She recalls the shooting time with Jagapathi Babu for the film ‘Pellaina Koththalo’. She makes us know about his sweet heart by telling this incident.
On one of the informal chitchats it seems Priyamani said that she heard of biscuits in Karachiwala bakery. “That’s all”, she said, “The Karachiwala biscuits were there in my lap the next day. Jagapathi Babu’s secretary brought that for me”.
Priyamani says that Jagapathi is so kind at heart that he finds happiness in seeing the happiness in others.
Rumors: Doubts On The Release Of This Film!
The film that has been undergoing publicity but not letting out the news of its release is ‘Podarillu’. The stills of Neha Pendse and Siva Balaji working for this film were released long back. The film is made in the direction of Rettadi Sreenivasa Rao on the banner of Venky Academy by Akula Siva Durga Prasad.
The shooting of the film is over log back and the first copy has come out. It is being said that the film is going to be released this month. Koti scored music for it. It is said that there are no buyers for this film and hence the producer is going to release it on his own.
But still with lots of hopes, the publicity is being done for this film in the form of News Paper Ads. Will this film release this month as announced?
Reel Talk: First Telugu Dubbing Of Nazar!Reel Talk: First Telugu Dubbing Of Nazar!
Nazar said that he wishes to act with his own voice from now onwards. He added, “I have been acting with some other’s voice all these days as I don’t know Telugu. But now I’m speaking Telugu comfortably. So there wouldn’t be any problem for me. It’s director V Eeshwar Reddy’s encouragement that pushed me to attempt dubbing boldly”.
Nazar is really inspiring for other actors. As government is making the rules strong that Nandi Awards cannot be given for the actors those act with dubbing voices, Nazar turned a straight actor with straight voice in Telugu.
Screen Talk: Nayanatara hates publicity!
'Multi Talented' Jhansi Is Now In Demand
She looks naughty in the TV program 'Talk of the Town', but very decent while hosting 'Pelli Pustakam' and 'Naveena'. She simply gets into the shows of the responsibility given to her.
Grapevine says that already demand started for Jhansi and a few producers are lining up for her.
Ramya Krishna and Suhasini On Same Track
Yes you can imagine who is hosting that there. That's none other than Suhaasini. But she is not like Ramya Krishna on JMJD. Suhasini is very decent in talk but wearing youthful outfits like sleeveless tops and tight jeans. The program is getting huge attention in Tamilnadu that transits every Saturday night.
While Ramya Krishna's program gets into the personal talk of hosts, Suhasini limited herself to talking about the fresh films of the hosts. Although Ramya Krishna and Suhasini are on same tracks there is little difference in the approach.
What Ravi Babu Is Doing With Laptop?
Ravi Babu was in Chennai Airport last night. He was about to go to Hyderabad. He started looking into the eyes of people to see if anyone recognizes him as an actor. But no one bothered. He roamed here and there for some time after the security check. No one noticed him and slowly moved to the corner of the waiting lounge without being seen by anyone. He boarded Spice Jet flight at 8:40 pm.
He was carrying a laptop. But what he has to do with that? Surfing a few film sites? But he looked like a software professional with that. Is there any connection for him with Software industry? Yes, he has some investments in Hyderabad based Jeevan Softech Ltd, a software cum education consultancy. He comes to that company frequently along with his father Chalapati Rao. Is that Chennai-Hyderabad trip of Ravi Babu, software related or movie linked?
Well, Ravi Babu is looking very heavy now. Hope he is not doing daily jog and work outs in KBR Park as he used to do earlier.
Senior Heroine ‘Escorting’ Young Producer
Out of all her clients, her youngest client is a Tollywood producer who is 39 now. It is obvious that she was a screen diva when the 39 year old producer was a teenager. So the fantasies continue for ever. He loves her company and it is said that he shells out lakhs on her very frequently.
Well, everything is part of by-profession for that senior actress who is in her 40s.
