Fresh twist in Jani Master and TFTDDA dispute
The dispute surrounding the TFTDDA - Telugu Film and TV Dancers and Dance Directors Association has taken a fresh turn after months of tensions over the functioning of the union. The issue had earlier escalated between Jani Master, his wife Sumalatha and the Film Federation, with Jani Master even approaching the Telugu Film Chamber seeking intervention. The Federation later issued show-cause notices and a non-cooperation order against the duo. The non-cooperation action was eventually withdrawn after Jani Master appeared before the Federation and submitted his explanation. Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna also intervened in the matter, following which Jani Master apologised for his remarks and called for unity among the members. Now, the issue has returned to the spotlight with the Film Federation taking a fresh decision on the association’s leadership. In a meeting attended by 225 dancers, Sumalatha received the support of 11 members, while 214 members backed choreographer Raghu Master. Following the meeting, the Federation dissolved the existing executive committee headed by Sumalatha. Fresh elections for the Telugu Film and TV Dancers and Dance Directors Association have now been announced for October 11. The development marks another major turn in the prolonged dispute over the association’s leadership and functioning.

Nani's wife remarks he built a Rome over years
Nani’s The Paradise is setting records in pre-sales and has become his most anticipated film ever. His wife Anju Yelavarthy penned an emotional note reflecting on his 16-year journey in the film industry. She recalled the early days of his career and the journey that eventually saw him build a strong connection with audiences. Anju wrote, “I still remember 2009, when a couple of us bunked college to watch your film, only to find out it didn’t even have a morning show on it’s release day. I remember thinking how hard it must be for a newcomer to even get a film out there on time.” Reflecting on the response to The Paradise, she added, “16 years later, seeing people turn up for Paradise simply because of the trust you’ve built, one film at a time, makes us all so emotional and grateful. This ‘Rome’ was definitely not built in a day and I’m witness to it.” Anju also compared Nani’s films to his babies, writing, “I’ve watched every film be your baby. Some waddled, some ran, some bumped their heads along the way. Nothing ever mattered. It was still your baby. Tonight, Paradise takes it’s baby steps. And whatever happens, it’s all going to be good. It’s going to be good. Anthe. We’ve got you like no other.” Along with the note, Anju shared a video of their son Junnu giving Nani a massage. Directed by Srikanth Odela and produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri, The Paradise is set to open with premieres tonight ahead of its worldwide theatrical release tomorrow.

Telangana HC directs government to withdraw The Paradise hikes
The Telangana High Court has directed Telangana Home Department Principal Secretary Shikha Goel to reconsider and withdraw the September 20 memo that permitted ticket price hikes for Nani’s The Paradise. The court found that the permission appeared to be contrary to the conditions laid down in the state government’s latest guidelines on movie ticket prices. The matter came up before a bench headed by Justice N.V. Shravan Kumar following a lunch motion petition filed by lawyer Vijay Gopal. The petition challenged the permission granted to The Paradise, which is scheduled to release on September 24. Under the memo, the film was allowed to hold premieres from 6:30 PM on September 23 with tickets priced at Rs 500. During the hearing, the court pointed to G.O. 77 issued by the state government on August 14, particularly conditions 8, 9, 10 and 11. The new guidelines stipulate that films with a production budget exceeding Rs 100 crore can seek a ticket price hike subject to specified conditions, including depositing funds towards the welfare of film workers. The court questioned how the permission was granted to The Paradise without material being placed before it to show that these conditions had been fulfilled. The bench also referred to its earlier directions that proposals seeking a ticket price hike should be placed in the public domain 90 days before a film’s release, allowing the public to submit objections. The court expressed concern that permissions were instead being issued shortly before releases, while challenges to such orders were being heard only after tickets had already gone on sale. The court observed that this practice had continued for about a year and said that taking decisions on ticket hikes without giving the public an opportunity to raise objections was problematic. It also held that the Home Department’s latest memo appeared to have disregarded the earlier court directions. The court issued notices seeking an explanation from the Home Department and directed the Principal Secretary to reconsider the September 20 memo. The matter has been posted for further hearing on October 6. Disclaimer: The news article is written based on information shared by various sources.

Ambika emotionally denies Radha's allegations
Veteran actress Ambika has responded to allegations made by her sister and actress Radha, strongly denying accusations of fraud and illegal encashment of cheques. Ambika maintained that the cheques in question were handed over by Radha in connection with efforts to settle ongoing property and financial disputes within the family. Addressing the issue in an interview with Wow Tamizhaa, Ambika rejected the allegations and said there was no question of her stealing or illegally encashing the cheques. According to Ambika, the financial transactions were connected to discussions between the sisters over their property and other family-related matters. Ambika also spoke emotionally about the dispute becoming public and the legal action initiated by her sister. She expressed distress over the fallout, particularly because the allegations came from a close family member. Her response comes after Radha publicly alleged that Ambika had misused cheques and accused her of financial wrongdoing. The sisters, who have shared a long association with the South Indian film industry, have now become embroiled in a legal and financial dispute. While Radha has made allegations against Ambika, the latter has categorically denied them and presented the cheques as part of a settlement between the siblings.

Chiranjeevi inspires youth to chase dreams not vices
Megastar Chiranjeevi delivered an inspiring speech at the Mega Youth Force Meet, where a huge number of Mega Fans gathered for the event. Addressing the youngsters, Chiranjeevi stressed the importance of time management, positive thinking and believing in one’s dreams. Chiranjeevi said that many youngsters have big dreams but often remain directionless. “Believe in your dreams, stop wasting time and manifest positive outcome. Tell yourself that you’ve got it in you, observe what you lack and invest time in acquiring that knowledge, but not in negativity and wasting time,” he said. Speaking about his approach towards life, Chiranjeevi said he believes in positive manifestation and the power of time. “I trust in God and positive manifestation. I keep telling the universe that I deserve this and I am capable of handling it. This kind of manifestation is needed to not get bogged down by negative vices. Even if you’re an atheist, believe in nature and it will work for you as it did for me,” he remarked. Chiranjeevi also revealed that time management is one of the reasons behind his energy and punctuality even at his age. “If anyone loses time, it is not going to come back ever. If you waste even a second, you cannot earn it back. Time is Money and remember it always,” he said. He added that his punctuality on the sets had even inspired director Bobby Kolli and his team to complete Kaaka as planned. He also revealed his character name as Kadiri Kalidas and promised that the KVN Productions-backed Sankranti release will be “KEKA” in theatres.
