While Allu Arvind has been busy hatching money making plans, it is heard that the mega brothers are not too happy with the way things are taking shape. The cause for this happens to be the single handed decision that Allu has been taking even in matters of PRP without involving the brothers.
It is heard that Allu has the payment talks of PRP in star hotels and he does not like to get exposed. So while selling tickets, when he was doing one of his meets sitting in a star hotel, it is heard that Pawan Kalyan got the news and he went to meet Allu and be a part of the happening.
However, as soon as the news came in, immediately Allu is said to have checked out of the room. So when Pawan came in, nobody was around. And the room was also not booked on Aravind’s name but with some other. Incidentally, Chiru has got full faith in Allu but then Nagababu and Pawan are not too convinced on that part and so this is said to be causing some friction.

Rs 20 Cr Betting On Chiranjeevi’s Failure
Where there is a will, there is a way and this holds good when it comes to earning money. So now, megastar Chiranjeevi seems to have become one subject who is the cause for some heavy transactions. With his debut in politics, here are a few who are making the most of it.
There is news that some heavyweights of the Balija Setty community in the Godavari districts have now got into betting about Chiru’s failure at Palakollu. Inside sources reveal that the betting has gone to the tune of a whopping twenty crores and this would be on the rise till the results are announced.
Meanwhile, Chiru has been canvassing with his family in the regions and has been trying to get the maximum mileage since the first phase reports are said to be negative for PRP. With bets happening at these rates, it must be said that the megastar will have a tough time looking for success.

Jr NTR makes changes in script
Telugu Desam party’s star attraction Jr NTR has made certain changes in his script while addressing the people through television channels live on Monday.
In his latest speech, Jr NTR added the masala on Chief Minister Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy’s recent comments describing the settlers of Telangana as foreigners. He wondered whether YSR had not thought about this issue while forging alliance with the TRS before 2004 elections and including the separate Telangana issue in the Congress manifesto.
“He is trying to provoke regional feelings among the people by makingsuch statements,” Jr NTR alleged. He also ridiculed Chiranjeevi’s promise of providing all essential commodities at Rs 100 a packet. “He does not know how much quantity of provisions each family requires. Such a person is making ridiculous promises,” Jr NTR said.
Fact Sheet: 'Shashti Poorthi' for Babu!
Telugu Desam party president N Chandrababu Naidu has completed his “shashti poothi,” though he did not hold any celebrations.
At a simple function, he cut his cake during his electioneering in Nellore, amidst party workers and leaders. His partymen conducted blood donation camps in his name. However, Shashti Poorthi is an important event in anybody’s life. It is like a rebirth to a person. So, people celebrate it on a grand scale. One does not know why Naidu wanted it a low key affair; but his partymen say he would make it a grand celebration if he comes to power.
YSR cheered with 'varsham' slogan
CM Vache, Varsham Vache’(CM has come, rain has come), was the new slogan that filled the air when a huge gathering of people spotted the chopper that brought chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy to the town of Uravakonda, 55 km from here, on Monday.
The CM entered Anantapur district as part of his Election Jaitra Yatra after a long gap. Nobody was quite sure when he visited the town last. Some say this was the second visit in the last five years. Anantapur is the only district where the TDP won six assembly segments even when the Congress wave swept the state in 2004.
The TDP is summoning all its energies to increase the tally to ten while the Congress wants to win all the segments. But, the delimitation process, bickerings in the Congress, presence of strong PRP candidates, complaints against the local Congress leaders for skewing all the schemes to benefit only the party supporters, are being used by the TDP as campaign issues.
On Sunday night, there was heavy rain in the constituency, from where Congress candidate Y Visweswara Reddy is pitted in a triangular fight with TDP’s P Keshava and PRP’s G Chennakeshava Rao.
On Monday, Congress leaders tried their level best to portray the coming of rain as a good omen. At the public meeting, the organisers repeatedly asked the public to raise the slogans ‘CM vache, Varsham Vache’.
True to form, a local Congress leader said due to frequent rains in the past five years, the ground water table had risen unimaginably. “Earlier, water was not available even at 60 feet. After Y S Rajasekhara Reddy became the chief minister, we get water just at 30 feet depth,” said a Congress leader.
The pleasant cool weather helped the Congress leaders to mobilize a large crowd for the meeting. The organisers were also helped by the fact that it was also the day of village fair in Uravakonda when people from neighbouring villages throng the town to purchase commodities for the week.
Impressed by the crowds, the chief minister also tried to lift the mood of the people by reminding them of the dry days of the TDP rule. “In the nine years of TDP rule, rains failed. The regime brought all round sadness to the people,” he said, devoting most of his speech to welfare measures like NREGP, pensions, farm loan waivers and Rs 5000 incentives to those who paid loans.

Technically 'Eenadu' Stands Above 'A Wednesday'
Wherever there is Kamal Haasan there is bound to be some variety and loads of creativity. So, ever since he has announced his movie ‘Eenadu’ with Victory Venkatesh, things have been picking up a lot of excitement on that end. The film is a remake of the Bollywood hit ‘A Wednesday’.
Now, the shooting has been on at the famous Ramoji Film City and there is news arriving that the movie is being made at much higher technical standards than the original. Given the presence of Kamal, it is but natural that there will be a higher degree of precision and perfection.
However, it is not really sure if Kamal is going to introduce any minor changes to the script or take it from the Bollywood directly. Many say that when it is Kamal, there will be variety and most importantly, it is the way he would depict the entire movie with his technical expertise which will change the course.

Advantage MahaKootami !!!
It’s advantage Maha Kootami in the first phase of elections in the state, if one were to go by the field reports. Though Election Commission has banned conduct of exit polls, several media organisations and independent agencies did their own surveys and came to the conclusion that the grand alliance is better placed than the Congress.
According to these surveys, the Congress would fare badly in Telangana, mainly due to heavy split of the pro-Congress votes and consolidation grand alliance. Though the Praja Rajyam could not make much impact on the rural electorate, it could split considerable number of votes in urban constituencies such as Malkajgiri, Secunderabad, Nizamabad and Warangal. Interestingly, the Bharatiya Janata Party, which is fighting it alone in these elections, has also split heavy votes in constituencies like Chevella, Mahbubnagar, Malkajgiri, Secunderabad and Adilabad. If things work out well, the BJP might even bag Secunderabad.
The Congress is likely to win only four seats in Telangana: Chevella, Warangal, Pedapalli and Nizamabad; even Renuka Chowdary’s position is not so good, say the reports. In Mahbubnagar, TRS president K Chandrasekhara Rao is likely to scrape through, while his party is expected to win Zaheerabad, Medak and Karimnagar seats. In a couple of other constituencies, the contest would be tough. In all other places, the grand alliance enjoys clear advantage, field level reports say.
In north-coastal Andhra, PRP has eaten into the Congress votes that will help the grand alliance again. Out of five Lok Sabha seats in this region, the PRP might win only Anakapalli seat, but it would indirectly help the grand alliance to bag at least three seats. However, the PRP is expected to establish clear leads in at least 15 out of the total number of 34 assembly segments, sources said.
