Chief Minister Dr. YS Rajasekhar Reddy today took part in the shoot of Visu Films International film as "Chief Minister". Produced by Y. Sonia Reddy in the presentation of CC Reddy, the film is a mookie (no dialogues) on the lines of Kamal Hassan's film Pushpaka Vimanam. The sequence was shot on Dr YSR and comedian Brahmanandam at the CM's camp office in Hyderabad at 4.10 pm. PA Arunprasad is the director. V. Srinivasa Reddy is the cinematographer.

CC Reddy said: "We planned the shooting schedule for Chief Minister YSR without disturbing his regular schedules and party activities. He appears as the CM on the screen. Brahmanandam plays the key role, which can be termed as the hero. At the same time, YSR's role also can be called that of the hero's role. I sincerely thank YS Rajasekhar Reddy (garu) for accepting our request and acting as CM in our film. The film will have a beautiful social message. Thirty percent of the shoot is completed." It is known that YSR had a couple of months ago accepted to do the role as the CM in this Visu Films movie.

I am in love: Allu Arjun


"Yes. I am in love. But, I can't tell the details now," said Allu Arjun at a program held as part of political campaigning pre-launch of Chiru's party. He responded so volleying to a media query. He said he would take active part in the campaigning as "Chiru Abhimani, without expecting any position in the party or power when it comes to power." Latest, it is believed that megastar Chiranjeevi wanted his camp to launch an SMS campaign to elicit public opinion about the burning Telangana issue. Accordingly, a lakh SMSs would be sent and based the majority feedback, a fixed stand would be taken, it is maintained.
