Chiru fans making hadavedi in Hyderabad

Balakrishna and Chiru Not Sure Yet

Just like there is a 'Big Four' for the Indian cricket team, even our Telugu film industry has its own 'Big Four' which comprises of Megastar Chiranjeevi, Yuva Samrat Akkineni Nagarjuna, Victory Venkatesh and last but not the least Yuva Rathna Balakrishna. These stars have the power in them to make up for any losses faced by the industry with a single hit of their movie.

However, things look a bit confusing as of now since two of them are nowhere in the picture. We are talking about Megastar Chiranjeevi and Balayya. Apparently, Chiru seems to have been caught up with his political train and its arrival but one is not really sure what is happening on Balayya's end.

For now, there is only single confirmed news.

Venky has given his confirmation to take off with his next film which has been titled as 'Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum' with director Krish who is known for his hit film 'Gamyam' , Nag from his end has already got off with his next venture which has been titled as 'King' and is being directed by Srinu Vaitla who is basking the success of his latest release 'Ready'.

KCR ki reverse trap

Everybody is under the impression that Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhar Rao is taking pro-active steps to muster the support of smaller parties against the UPA government. But the fact is that he is bargaining with the Congress using these parties.

According to reliable information from New Delhi, the TRS president, who had a closed door meeting with Rashtriya Lok Dal leader Ajit Singh, reportedly tried to trap him. KCR asked Ajit to bring pressure on the Congress on giving some assurance on Telangana, as a precondition for supporting the UPA in Lok Sabha on July 22.

However, it turned out to be a reverse trap. Ajit Singh reportedly asked KCR not to blackmail the Congress at this stage and fall a prey to the Communists' game plan. "You support the UPA in Lok Sabha first.

Then, I will talk to Sonia Gandhi to consider Telangana," he is learnt to have said. KCR is seriously considering this offer and might change the tune in the last moment, sources said.

Babu ki shock medha shock

In yet another shock to Telugu Desam president N Chandrababu Naidu, former minister and important leader in Nellore district Nallapureddy Prasanna Kumar Reddy called it quits from the party, obviously to find a place in the forthcoming party of megastar Chiranjeevi.

Prasanna has been staying away from TD politics for quite some time.

More recently, he triggered a controversy in the party by writing a letter to Naidu, asking him to step down to pave way for his brother-in-law Nandamuri Balakrishna as party president. He released the letter to the media, thereby angering Naidu. But no action was taken against Prasanna later, though other TD leaders from Nellore including Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy attacked him.

Prasanna Kumar Reddy is son of late Nallapureddy Srinivasulu Reddy, one of the founder-members of the Telugu Desam. After parting ways with NTR, Srinivasulu Reddy joined the Congress later, but his son continued to be in the TD. Now, Prasanna also left TD, crippling the party in the district.
