Nani Become a Director…!

Gone are the days when an individual from one craft in the film industry sticks to it only. Many are attempting different crafts of cinema and want to increase their potential and chances for more offers. Now, it is heard that even hero Nani has joined that list with the buzz that he might get into direction.

According to filmnagar folks, it is heard that Nani is participating in every stage of the shaping up of his new film ‘Paisa’. Sources say he is showing interest in editing, poster design, just like how JD Chekravarthy used to do. Earlier, Nani worked as an assistant director with the legendary Bapu for the film ‘Radha Gopalam’.

Buzz is that he has a strong desire to become a director and for ‘Paisa’ he is reportedly acting like an associate director cum hero. Filmnagar sources and Krishna Vamsi (director of ‘Paisa’) camp say very soon Nani will get into direction. If that is true then it will be interesting to see how Nani will balance both roles.

Actor Naresh Joins Jagan Party….!

Hero-turned-character actor Naresh, son of actress-director Vijaya Nirmala, is all set to join the YSR Congress party very soon.

Naresh, who had earlier worked as BJP joint secretary in the state, made an announcement to this effect while participating in a programme in Kadapa district on Monday. He said he had quit the Bharatiya Janata Party as he was very much impressed by the programmes launched by late Y S Rajasekhara Reddy.

“The people are looking for a dynamic leader who can carry on the legacy of YSR. And it is none other than YS Jaganmohan Reddy, who can bring back the golden era of YSR,” he said.

Naresh predicted that by 2014 elections, the Congress and the Telugu Desam Party would become empty, as majority of the leaders would join the YSR Congress.

One wonders whether the entry of outdated actors like Naresh would fetch any mileage to the YSR Congress. However, Jagan might attract superstar Mahesh Babu, using Naresh and his parents – Krishna and Vijaya Nirmala, at least for campaigning. And that would get him a lot of advantage in the next elections.
