Caste Politics in Mohan Babu's Family

The most talked about family of Telugu Cinema Industry is on the verge of dividing as per Film Nagar talks. Caste based divisions are said to be shaking the family before a feud started over sharing of assets. Apparently, top people from different castes have taken sides on behalf of Mohan Babu's kin and kith. Vishnu and his wife Veronica are enjoying the fullest support of Reddy clan, as this flop-hero's wife hails from the same clan. On the other side Manoj is being patronized by top Kamma and Kapu clans. Hailing from Kamma clan, Manoj has good base in Kapus too and this could be due to his friendship with Allu Arjun. Finally, Lakshmi Prasanna is the one who cannot join any side as her husband Andy Srinivasan is a converted Christian from Brahmin. Anyhow, Lakshmi always stays with her younger brother and the recent movie launch function is an evidence of this. Film Nagar talk is that other than rifts regarding share of assets, this caste based biasing is playing a key role in the partition of Mohan Babu's 'Star' Kids.

Manchu Vishnu Caught With Lux Papalu

While it is a challenge to be a celebrity kid, it has its own share of privileges. The classic example for that is Manchu Vishnu. Being the son of Mohan Babu may have put high expectations on him from the audience, and though he is nowhere near them he seems to be having a gala time thanks to his family background.

Apparently, a new project is underway and this will be a Mohan Babu production. For this, Manchu Vishnu is the hero and they have launched a Lux heroine hunt. The event is sponsored by Lux and the venue is Taj Krishna. As it is obvious, it is heard that they are spending huge money on this.

Sources reveal that daily Vishnu is spending time at Taj only and doing time pass with all the pretty girls who are dreaming to become his leading lady. While he is enjoying the company of the Lux Papalu, few cine folks say the pretty girls are doing their best to cooperate with him much to the jealousy of other heroes. Some are advising maybe it is time for Vishnu to focus on his own skills and groom himself instead of analyzing others.

Tollywood Trade Talk: Mixed Fortunes

The time has come to have a look at what is happening at the box office. Well, two films were released last week and both of them are from different genres. One thing that stands out is the fact that there seems to be an attempt to change the storylines and the presentation of the film.

Firstly, we have ‘Gaganam’ and this had Nagarjuna in the lead as a commando. This was directed by Radha Mohan and produced by Dil Raju. The film is giving a feel good factor to the audience and more of such movies are required.

Then comes ‘Vasthadu Naa Raju’ which had Manchu Vishnu and Taapsee Pannu in the lead. This was directed by debutante Hemant Madhukar while Manchu Vishnu was the producer. The film has turned out to be a disappointment in terms of collections. The other film running is ‘Jai Bholo Telangana’ getting steady collections in the T-region.
