Venu's next film to be titled 'Cell Phone'
'FAN' Wars
By and large the Diamond Jubilee celebrations are gaining notoriety instead of popularity for the very reason that fans of Chiranjeevi and Mohanbabu are creating hell in streets in different places Andhra Pradesh. No need to mention of the places. Wherever the fans of a particular hero are present, they start burning the effigies or photo papers of the other hero. The fans are so crazy that they don’t even care for the peace efforts by both their heroes, on television screens. Chiranjeevi and Mohanbabu appealed to their fans not to indulge in such activities. Mohanbabu says what ever they spoke during the Diamond Jubilee festival was the internal matter of the festival and this is not the issue, any thing to do with fans. “We (me and Chiranjeevi) are friends for more than three decades. We acted together in many films and continue visit each other’s houses to attend any festivities held in each others houses”, said Mohanbabu. Chiranjeevi too appealed to fans that what they were doing was wrong and he even saluted his fans and appealed to stop this and don’t bring shame to the many social service activities they were involved. Nobody said anything about me nor I said anything that insults Mohanbabu. Please direct all these efforts in undertaking more such service activities. So also said Pawan Kalyan, representing his elder brother saying that the acts they were resorting to is causing a lot of pain to his ‘Annayya’. The younger blood of that family and raising hero Allu Aravind’s son, Arjun too said the same on his visit to the injured persons admitted into hospital adds a line after consoling them. But on a question, he added they won’t keep quiet if some thing is said against Chiranjeevi.
There were days when fans of NTR and ANR were dabbing the posters of their heroes with cow dung. There were also days when the fans of other heroes also resorted to street fights, in olden days which included stabbing. Krishna went on record that he did not even know where and who started his ‘Krishna Sena’. All these issues point out at the fans’ lack of understanding and taking law into their own hands even without the knowledge of their heroes. In fact this fall out after that huge function held for three days and telecast by Maa TV, has blurred the total mission behind holding the Diamond Jubilee of the Telugu cinema. Today people only remember this side effect than more the main function, blurring the whole festival. Hope this kind of ugly reaction of fans of both artistes should end now.
Added to that there are reports from Hyderabad Film chamber, demanding the organizers to give an account of what they collected and what they spent and on what. The orginazing committee quickly responded stating that this part of expenditure is no body’s business and nobody has right to ask. This is also their private business. Any way there are governmental sources to whom they are responsible. This followed the tirade against press by the secretary K.S.Rama Rao.
Who is a ‘legend’ and who is ‘celebrity’?
The whole thing began with Mohanbabu questioning the organizers what did they mean by ‘Legend’ and ‘Celebrity’. Many gave their mind on this in press and outside. A legend is one whose legacy continues from his life time to the other generation after him or her. Ghatasala is a legend for example. The word celebrity is a common word used to almost all in the film field, especially. Celebrities are those who are being watched day in and day out by people of those fields and also others, from the positive sense. That celebrity ends with his life. He turns into a legend when his memory and work continues even in the next generation.Source: Pallavi @ Andhravilas (more...)

We should concentrate on charity work, not on destructive mode,” Chiranjeevi requested his fans.

Don't resort to agitations, Pawan Kalyan tells fans
Again, Mohanbabu convened another press meet, after KS Rama Rao's misbehaviour at a press conference, and made it clear, saying, 'I did not make any adverse remarks against Chiranjeevi but only found fault with the Diamond Jubilee Celebrations Committee on the lapses. Chiranjeevi is talking about the ill-treatment to Telugus in Goa and Delhi film festivals but I highlighted the ill-treatment meted out to our Telugu film industry people by our own people. I don't know why Chiranjeevi reacted so wildly on that day with lots of emotion.' Reacting over the remarks made by Mohanbabu against Chiranjeevi, the Mega Star fans took out mock funeral processions for Mohanbabu's effigy and burnt them. Even they started making efforts to intensify their agitation. 
It is well aware how Mega Star Chiranjeevi reacted to the comments made by Mohanbabu during the Diamond Jubilee Celebrations of the Telugu cinema marking the completion of 75 years of Telugu film industry.
In this backdrop, Pawan Kalyan issued a statement on behalf of Chiranjeevi saying, 'Dear fans. Don't resort to agitations. Your agitations are causing mental agony to our brother Chiranjeevi. Don't react to any comment by anyone. Chiranjeevi fans are said to be very disciplined. Don't spoil the image and we, the Mega Brothers, appeal to everyone to stop all kinds of agitations.'

He also added saying, "I'm not the one who can say about the issue happened at Vajrotsavam. Already elders have told fans to maintain poise. I can only say that none can keep quiet if Chiranjeevi is criticized".
The repercussions after the speeches of Chiranjeevi and Mohan Babu are still continuing and everyone from the clan of Chiranjeevi is giving statement everyday. Yesterday, Pawan Kalyan asked fans to maintain poise and that is known for all.Source: Greatandhra (more...)
Mohan Babu's anguish unleashed in Press Meet
Mohan Babu unleashed his feelings in the fresh Press Meet held this morning. Here are the highlights of it : Saying about his relation with Chiranjeevi, Mohan Babu said, "Chiranjeevi is my close friend. I have no clashes with him. We both go for the functions in each other's house. I questioned the Vajrotsavam Committee for the injustice done. I didn't point out anything in Chiranjeevi. I don't know why he turned so emotional".
Coming to the aspect of legend he said, "KS Rama Rao said that I have to grow a lot to become a legend. I asked what more I have to grow? I'm the only producer who made more number of movies in Telugu after Ramanaidu and Ramoji Rao. Why can't I be called a legend? I was told that I will be recognized for 100 years celebrations of Tollywood. I don't stay alive by that time".
Talking about KS Rama Rao, he said, "KS Rama Rao says that he will give away the NTR Award. How can he do that"?
Saying about the injustice, Mohan Babu said, "Kantha Rao was not felicitated properly in the event. He was earlier called Jr. MGR. Is that the respect given for him? ANR was informed only at the last minute. Invitations weren't distributed properly. Journalists were insulted in the event. Is this the way of respecting Journalists?".
Pointing out the caste aspect he said, "Caste feeling cannot be pumped in film industry. Films cannot be successful by making them with artistes belonging to one caste. Artistes are beyond caste, creed and area"
Finally he said, "There is no relation between Vajrotsavam controversy and Fans".

Chiru's fans arrested!
Vajrotsavam controversy still hasn't settled in Tollywood. The industry is still reeling under the aftermath of the undesirable events that took place on the concluding day.
Mohan Babu is about to conduct a press conference to explain his stand and diffuse/further fuel the tension in the industry. If that happens, Chiranjeevi too will be forced to call his own conference.
Meanwhile, soon after Mohan Babu's statements, Chiranjeevi's fans vented their anger against the former by burning his effigies in Krishna district. Freshly, the fans association President of Mohan Babu warned Chiranjeevi fans not to provoke, otherwise, consequences would be serious. The hold for Mohan Babu is strong in Chittoor district.
Chiranjeevi, who always tries to be in the good books of everyone failed to be so. Mohan Babu turned out to be a hard nut to bite for Chiranjeevi. Mohan Babu's fans too hav
