P V Ranga
Rao, former Andhra Pradesh minister and son of former prime minister
P V Narasihma Rao was Saturday(4th February) arrested by the Hyderabad
police in a cheating case. The arrest follows a complaint by Tamil Nadu
superstar Rajnikant that Rao had taken Rs 20 million, promising a film
Sri Raghavendra Swamy Mahatyam, the police said. Rao's personal assistant
Gopala Krishna Reddy who was also involved in the case, has already
been arrested, the police added. Rao, a former Congress legislator and
education minister, and his personal assistant had approached Rajnikant,
a staunch devotee of Raghavendra Swamy of Mantralayam, and won his confidence,
posing as devotees, it was alleged. They also requested the star to
act in the film. But when he declined the offer, they reportedly pleaded
that he at least fund it, the police said. Rajnikant issued cheques
last year, but there was neither any trace of any film being made nor
was there any word of a promise from Rao for repayment of the money.
The superstar recently lodged a complaint with police commissioner P
Ramulu, who ordered a probe into the matter.

Chakri - a true Chiru fanatic
Chakri
is one of the best Chiru maniacs in the young actors along with Srikanth,
Venu and Tarun. In the recently released film Suri, Chakri did his role
as a hardcore Chiru fan. A special song, Kottu Kottu Tenkai, was also
pictured to this effect. In his film under production, Akka Bavekkada
too, he is playing the role of Chiru's fan. In the past, he missed the
opportunity of doing a role of Chiru's younger brother in Annayya because
of dates problem. He also started a film called 'Mahatma Gandhi Autobiography'
on Varma Banner, in which he was playing the role of Chiru fan. Due
to some unknown reasons that film was shelved. Incidentally, three of
the Chiru's birthdays were captured on the silver screen. The first
one was Appula Apparao, in which the 100 days function of Gang Leader
was captured. 100 days function of Gang Leader was done in 4 cities
on Chiru's birthday, in which Chiru flew along with his crew to four
major centers in AP to cut the cake. The second was the title song scene
of Big Boss, which followed a couple of later. Third film to capture
Chiru live on his birth day was the scrapped film 'Mahatma Gandhi Autobiography'.
