Talking to media persons, Sailajanath said the Seemandhra leaders would present their views and stress the importance of keeping the state integrated. He said they would appeal him to adopt the Justice Srikrishna Committee recommendations before taking any decision on bifurcation of state.

He said the Centre can adopt the sixth recommendation of Justice Srikrishna Committee, which clearly opposed the division of state. He said that regions development would be possible with the implementation of 6th option only.

Ruling out disunity among Seemandra leaders, Eluru MP Kavuri Sambhasiva Rao said that Minister of state for Human Resources Development D Purandeswari, and Union Minister of State for Textiles Panabaka Laxmi did not attend the Seemandhra convention due to their busy schedule.

One cannot think of a single personality in Indian film industry - be it a director, producer or actor who has so mastered the internet as a communication tool as RGV has done. Even before he sets to make a film, one thing RGV sets in motion is an unrelenting publicity buzz. The film based on Maria Susai Raj's murder and acquittal is a case in point. In his characteristic style RGV has stated that he is licensed to take cinematic liberties because he is a story teller. In one stroke he brushes aside the need to pursue facts and says he is more interested in the feelings side of the story. In his own words this is what he wrote in his column ... I am interested in knowing "What kind of mental state would have led to a killing at 7.30 am in an apartment building in the heart of Mumbai's suburbs? How could a young man and woman, who seem so perfectly normal, turn into monsters in a minute?" These are exactly the kind of provocative thoughts that RGV sets up in a viewers mind. Funnily enough for him, a publicity hungry media just cannot seem to have enough of his kind of sound bytes.

Abhishek Bachchan, Asin and Ajay Devgn starrer Bol Bachchan seems to be in news for all the wrong reasons. Rohit Shetty, who's gearing up for the release of Singham, was all set to direct this remake of yesteryear's cult film, Golmaal when one of the lead actresses in the film, Genelia D'Souze stepped out of the project. Initially, Samantha was said to be in talks with Rohit Shetty for the role; however, the makers finally opted for Genelia. However, days before the film goes on floors, she has stepped out.

While it's not clear if she was shown the door or if she stepped out voluntarily, rumours are rife that she was not happy with her role in the film. Apparently, she rubbed the makers on the wrong side due to this.

However, other reports suggest that she opted out due to clash of dates. She's currently acting in Naa Ishtam with Rana and has to complete few songs for Force, a remake of Khaka Khaka Whatever maybe the case, she surely seems to have lost out a big film which could have restarted her career in Bollywood. Now, the hunt is on for another actress to replace Genelia in this film.
