One Telugu film producer gets bail, another one denied
A local court today granted bail to Tollywood (Telugu film industry) producer Ch Kalyan in two cheating cases, however, dismissed the bail plea of another film producer Singanamala Ramesh Babu in a case of fraud. Kalyan and Ramesh Babu (presently under judicial custody in a jail here), who were last month arrested by the Andhra Pradesh Crime Investigation Department(CID) from Chennai, were facing charges of cheating, criminal breach of trust and criminal intimidation regarding DVD and VCD rights of Telugu film 'Komaram Puli', produced in the name of Kanaka Ratna Movies, owned by Singanamala Ramesh and partnered by Kalyan's Balaji Colour Labs in Jubilee Hills. The duo was also facing similar charges of "failing" to give the DVD and VCD rights of 'Kaleja' movie, despite taking amounts from the complainants, CID officials said. The XII Additional Chief Metropolitan Court, today granted bail to Ramesh and Kalyan in these two cases, CID Special Public Prosecutor Ajay Kumar told PTI. The court, however denied bail to Ramesh Babu in the case relating to a Rs 14.69-crore "fraud", committed by him, along with absconding Bhanu Kiran (who is the prime accused in the murder case of Maddelacheruvu Suryanarayana Reddy alias Suri). The court agreed to the contention of the defence, which said that both the (cheating) cases pertain to civil transactions and that Ramesh and Kalyan were unnecessarily linked to the cases. "There was no question of criminal intimidation and they were willing to pay remaining due amount," the defence counsel had earlier argued seeking their bail. However, the CID had opposed to their bail saying further investigation in the case was on and it was verifying certain documents relating to the case. If they are enlarged on bail they may threaten the witnesses and tamper with the evidence, the CID, which is investigating all the three cases, said. PTI VVK NP

Sony Television to buy ETV networks for whopping Cost!!
Indian entertainment television major – Sony Television is learnt to be buying 11 of the 12 channels of ETV for a whopping Rs 2,600 crore! Multi Screen Media (MSM) is overlooking the administration of Sony Television in India, while the parent company is in Los Angeles. Owned by Ramoji Rao, ETV channels are operating in several languages including Telugu, Marathi, Bangla, Oriya, Gujarati and Kannada among others. As of now, channels like Sony TV, SAB TV, Set Max, Sony PIX, AXN and Animax are being operated under Sony Television. However, the deal would further strengthen Sony Television in the market, thus placing it as tough competitor for the other entertainment channels like STAR and ZEE. Post-deal, Ramoji Rao will be left with only ETV2 (news channel) and Eenadu daily.
