Tollywood Celebrities !!

In yet another ghastly incident, Hindu extremists have once again attacked girls and boys for partying hard in western ways. Reports are indicating that some of the attackers tried to molest three girls and video evidences are also proving this.

Activists of Hindu Jagarna Vedike brutally attacked people partying at a resort in Mangalore. When some scantily clad girls tried to escape from their clutches in fear, they have dragged back and thrashed. Though the party-goers pleaded that they are celebrating a birthday,the activists slapped both girls and boys as they are indecently clothed. What is so brutal is that this entire scene is recorded by a couple of reporters and aired on TV channels. Some attackers are heard molesting a couple of girls in an inebriated state. By the time police reached the scene, the activists have fled the scene.

Already, Mangalore police have made seven arrests in the incident so far as they are getting huge pressure from authorities including CM to take strict action against HJV activists. No doubt, this incident once again proves that India is getting Talibanised.

In Telugu film industry, only heroes sons get to take their fathers legacy ahead. Our heroes are not open minded in allowing their daughters to take up acting career. That is not the case in Bollywood and in Tamil film industry. Our heroes are against this only because of the fans. They don't like to see their idol's daughters dancing in skimpy outfits and donning glamorous roles.

But there is always a chance to play decent roles and pursue acting career without doing any damage to the father's image. For instance Krishna's fans didn't like Manjula to act as heroine. Although she did a couple of films, Manjula never took it serious as she didn't want to upset her father fans. Only Manchu Lakshmi has taken acting as a serious profession and is rising to higher levels with each film.

Lakshmi Manchu's performance in her debut film itself was wonderful. She has won accolades for playing the role of evil queen Irendri in Anaganaga Oka Dheerudu.  Her stunning performance in Uu Kodathara Ulikki Padathara climax is getting rave reviews. She has Gundello Godari movie lined up for release in which she played the lead role. With Manchu Lakshmi's success as an actress we could see more star daughters to shine on Telugu screen for sure. Kudos to Lakshmi for being a trendsetter.

The name of this slender lightning bolt is heard in Tollywood from a long time, but got popularized only after 'Poovai Poovai' song. Though she tried to make quick use of the fame, she lost almost four crores in the process.

For her swan-eyed expressions and slender hot body, Parvathi Melton has become the queen of many weak hearts. The slim lady however showed no interest in item-songs after her Dookudu item became a hot hit. A source close to the actress says that Parvathi has left four item song offers in big hero movies, which are ready to pay her around one crore each. After all she wants to become a heroine and has chosen only Balayya's 'Srimannarayana' before opting to lose those four crores.

Parvathi's seductive sex appeal is something that makes her apt for item numbers. But heroine offers are something one cannot get easily until they score a big hit as a lead lady. Let us see if she will open doors or pack bags in the coming days.

Rating: 2.25/5

Story

Prabhu hier apparent of Gandharva Mahal from his father Narasimha Naidu (Balakrishna) plans to give the Mahal as dowry for his first daughter's wedding. Manoj who enters the house as a tenant tries to stop this process as he gives word to his mother Suhasini that he won't allow Gandharva Mahal to go into the hands of others. Suhasini shares emotional bonding with the mahal as her father used to work under Narasimha Naidu during his time. Jagadamba (Deeksha Seth), Prabhu's second daughter along with her parents and sister makes Manoj do as per their wishes to perform the marriage. What are Manoj's experiences in the palace, why Narasimha Naidu haunts the Mahal, what is the secret of lady beggar(Manchu Lakshmi) hovering at the premises of the palace has to be wached on the mega screen.

Performance

Manchu Manoj tried his best to come up trumps in the role. He tried different get ups in his intro song and even tried to recreate the magic of his father Mohan Babu. In some instances he succeeded. His dances are good and reveled his stunts which is his strong point. However he should improved upon giving expressions through his eyes. Deeksha Seth's role is minimal and is only for skin show. She failed to make any impact on viewers.Natasimha Balakrishna made a powerful impact as Narasimha Naidu and performened exceedingly well. These type of roles are tailor made for him. Sonu Sood as Phanindra Bhupati performed well as a wily husband and possessive lover and at the end made movie lovers feel for his love. Manchu Lakshmi as Amruta Valli wowed all.She stunned all as a beggar as well as a bride. Prabhu, Suhasini, Gollapudi maruti Rao, Bhanu Chander, Sai Kumar and others did their bit. Dharmavarapu tried to make viewers laugh.

Analysis

Debutant Sekhar Raja prepared a near perfect script. However the film's lack of comedy in the first half and hero's subdued role may weaken the story. Hero Manoj's role is left to do things only at the behest of others right fromt the beginning. At the climax Sonu Sood's role bought sympathies for him with viewers made to forget his sins. Heroine did not have any role to play and the film lacks romantic elements. Just like he unleashed souls on movie lovers, even director needs some soul searching to get script insulated from tiny loopholes.

Technical

Bobo Sashi's music is good. Salim Suleiman's back ground score created a strong impact and kept them glued to the screen. Cinematography by B.Rajasekhar captured the beauty of Gandharva Mahal and other locations amazing movie lovers. Art direction and stunts are perfect. Production values are of high standard. But editing in the first half could have been a bit better. Graphics and VFX work is enjoyable.

Final

Watch it for Natasimha's powerful impact and Manchu Lakshmi' surprise element.

Bollywood actress Sarah Jane faced a worse situation in life at an adult party, which took place to promote adult comedy flick Kya Super Kool Hain Hum at Faridabad recently. An unidentified person hurled stone at her, which injured her lip. The pretty actress broke into tears soon and she was sent back to van by the film unit immediately and the other actress in the film Neha Sharma's performance was also called off.
Irked actress, Sara Jane tweeted later stating that it was deeply disheartening to say horrible things about the country. She said she was truly ashamed of people. While what happened with Sara Jane was obviously bad and something, which has to be condemned for sure, film critics and observers felt the way Sara reacted was wrong. They said it would have been much better had she (Sara) caught the culprit and belted him up. Instead, she chose to hold common people responsible for the incident. She said she was truly ashamed of people and also took the name of the country. Which public Sara was intending to....the ones who watch her movies? Film stars should understand that they are not gods. One might reach peaks but the feet will be still on ground, said experts. Sara's should look into the footage if possible and catch hold of the person who indulged in the heinous act and not hold common people responsible for her incident.

Leading south actress Tamanna is not on social media. She has no Facebook and Twitter accounts and she wants to convey the same to her fans. In fact, Tamanna was said to have come across a profile in her name in facebook and was astonished to note the same. She said she had no facebook account nor a twitter account. Tamanna said she was quite busy with good amount of projects and could barely spend time online. So, naturally she wouldn't have any online profile, she said. She has also felt bad as someone allegedly impersonated her and termed that her fans were blindly following that website.
When asked as to when she would open accounts on social networking websites, the star has said that she was waiting for the right time and when it comes, she would definitely interact with her fans online. So, as of now Tamanna is not online guys. So, don't follow the fake accounts in her name

With Eega turning out to be a huge blockbuster Samantha is declared as the new queen of Tollywood. She has done four films in Telugu now and all of them were either hits or blockbusters. With such a track record Samantha should be peaking at the moment. But sadly she is not meeting up to the demand as she was struck by a 'mysterious' ailment.

Samantha's manager said that the actress had a reaction to a tablet and was advised to take rest for few weeks. There is another story in circulation that the actress is suffering with some skin related problems. However, Samantha stated that everything is fine and she will be joining the shoot of Autonagar Surya from July 20.

Till date Samantha hasn't come to Hyderabad and those films that she has been playing the female lead are getting delayed because of her. So many days are being wasted and now she is being talked about in the industry circles. Producers that roped in her are starting to worry. This is not a good sign for the actress with such a phenomenal record. Samantha has to start working within a week to get everything right. Or else people would start doubting that it would be a risk to sign up Samantha. Hope she clears all the doubts and start working as early as possible.

Despite dusky looks and good performance, this Telugu beauty is still struggling even after falling in the hands of some giants. We are talking about actress Madhu Shalini who acted back to back in the films of directors like Ram Gopal Varma and Bala.

To prove her mettle as a performer, the sultry seductress is now coming with back to back horror movies. Firstly, she is gearing up for another Bollywood venture with Ram Gopal Varma. The movie is 'Bhoot2', the sequel to the super hit horror flick Bhoot. And in Telugu, she is doing 'Poga', another horror movie that is being made in Hollywood style. If both these movies click at Box Office, then the sultry siren will get few more chances, but might end up as a 'horror' special heroine too.

In all of her earlier movies, she is overshadowed by someone else, and for the first time she got chance to showcase her full talent now. We have to see how this hot girl will make the best of this opportunity.

South Indian belle known for her natural acting instincts, Samantha is back in action after a medical break. The Naan Ee (Eega) star was getting medical help for her allergy for some time and is back in action since Friday. Sources confirm that the actor suspected with water allergy has completely recovered. “Samantha is alright now and doctors have allowed her to take part in the shoots. Without wasting time, she has decided to start work immediately,” say sources
Chirpy Samantha had developed an allergy, which forced her out of a Mani Ratnam project has completely recovered. The actor is to have resumed shoot in Telugu with Naga Chaitanya for their next flick ‘Auto Surya’.
With back to back hits, Samantha is flooded with projects and her ailment was a setback for her career and for the  production houses too. But things are getting back in shape. Samantha’s trilingual Gautham Vasudev Menon's 'Neethane En Ponvasantham', is awaited. The film which has Samantha as the heroine in its Telugu and Hindi versions too, has music by Ilayaraja

Pretty heroine is finding it difficult to prove her mettle on Silver screen, but getting in right when wooing family audiences. To find out how, you have to check the story below!

Telugu audience are not only looking at cute and sexy heroines these days, but also want the ones who speak Telugu during public functions. Though there are many ravishing starlets here, only few can speak the language. The other day, long legged beauty Deeksha Setha is in Khammam to inaugurate a cloth store. As the day is an auspicious Friday for Telugu people, many family ladies have come to visit both the store and Deeksha. Much to everyone's amusement, the ravishing seductress has engaged with ladies at store in Telugu language and silenced them all.

Love for language is okay to attract crowds during public functions, but Deeksha should improvise her acting skills to get offers. Let us see how the upcoming 'Uh Kodathara Ulikki Padathara' will change her future!

Reportedly, evangelist and aspiring politician KA Paul is sent to Erragadda Mental Hospital today. He is said to be suffering from mental disorders, but Paul has denied that he is suffering from such things.

KA Paul has complained about a chest pain today for which he is taken to Nims hospital. From there Nims doctors have referred him to Erragadda mental hospital as he suffering from mental disorder. However, KA Paul has denied that he got mental and accused that leaders are targeting him as a part of political conspiracy. 'I don't know why they have booked me for a murder case that happened two years back. Government is conspiring to crush my political future. I'm not mental, but still they are taking me to Erragadda', accused KA Paul.

Paul is repeatedly saying that police and politicians are planning to kill him by resorting to extreme means. But still he is not opening mouth about the murder of his brother, for which Police got solid evidence against him.

Gopichand had a dream run as hero after he switched to doing lead roles by staying away from negative characters. But banking too much on mass masala has made him monotonous and people started to ignore his movies. With this Gopichand was hit by a barrage of flops and is currently struggling hard to find form.

All the top directors of Telugu cinema are busy making films with A list heroes and Gopichand is not finding star directors to work with. So he roped in a Tamil director for his next and that move didn't work for him either. Bhupathi Pandiyan is known as a hot headed director and had fights with few of the big names of Kollywood.

Apparently Bhupati also had differences with Gopichand even before the first schedule was done and that film's shoot came to a halt. Gopichand was reportedly frustrated with the over action of the Tamil director who doesn't mind to explain the scenes to the hero at least. Hence he has been sacked. Now Gopichand called upon his friend Sri Vaas that directed Lakshyam with him and asked to take over the project. Currently talks are on and we have to wait and see if Sri Vaas directs the film with same subject or go for a new story.

If the curry goes tasteless, then we will try to spice it up by using some additional top ups. Curvaceous beauty Charmi is also using the same principle to her career now.

Apparently, Charmi got onto the twitter buzz to engage with her fans directly by her pep talks. Not stopping there, she is now planning to release some hot videos of her. As part of that she has recently released her work-out video, where a beautiful dog is shown in the beginning and her hanging pose later. After pulling that dog out of frame, one will get ample view of Charmi's tight and shapely waist to satisfy one's desires. By hanging her frame in the air, this beauty is making men to hang their hearts in the hands of Charmi in their dreams.

Cine lovers say that Charmi is having the right sex appeal and ample time to make something like Yoga DVD or Aerobics Video Tutorials. With offers thinning in films, she can definitely cash on that latest stuff!

It just cannot get bigger than this – the stylish coin-flipping, the familiar punch dialogues, his signature dance moves – and all this in 3D. Rajinikanth’s 2007 blockbuster Sivaji, directed by Shankar, had sent fans into frenzy. Now, five years alter, it will be the first Rajinikanth film to be released in 3D. Here’s how it all came about.
“It was sometime last June when I met up with Sai and he said that he had the technology to convert existing 2D films into 3D and he showed me some Hollywood films that they’d done work for and it was very impressive and he said why don’t we try doing Sivaji because it’s got that grandeur and it’s an apt movie for this technology”, producer MS Guhan said.
The original film shot in 2D is now being converted frame-by frame at the Prasad EFX studio in Chennai. The process that started last year in June will be tentatively finished by September.
“The challenge was to retain the original quality, the original detailing. It took us a whole year with almost 400 people working on the project. We spared no efforts, didn’t compromise anywhere, and we hope the end product will speak for itself,” director A Sai Prasad of the Prasad group of Companies, said.
But what does the superstar himself think about his his 3D avatar? “He’s seen a small portion of it and he was very excited and he said it’s come out really well,” he said.
So after Shah Rukh Khan in RA.One, the superstar of Tamil cinema too goes the 3D way. While the wait for the superstar’s next, Kochaidaiyaan, continues, the star’s fans are in for a treat with Rajinikanth in a 3D avatar.

Till other day, it is thought that Manoj is just a hero and he is coming with one more movie to test his luck. But all that talk vanished now and it is heard that he is putting total Tollywood in trouble at the moment.

'Uu Kodathara Ulikki Padathara' is the latest movie of Manchu Manoj in which Nandamuri hero Balayya is playing a powerful guest role. A look at the latest theatrical trailer of UKUP is shivering many films that are in line for a release. Balayya's fierce dialogues, Manoj's terrific acts in the likes of a dangerous villain and high octane stunts have blown minds of cine lovers. In a dark role, Manoj is said to be rocking with his acting and action-episodes. If this energetic performance is supported a little by a good story, then the film will reach places, says critics. If that is the case then many releases should distance from UKUP or else they will lose their collections.

In this season, if trailers have rocked before the release of movie, then those films went on to become super hit. From Businessman to Eega, the trend continued and we have to see how UKUP will take it further!

Nine persons, including two women and three children, were killed in two incidents of wall collapses at Miyapur and Balanagar in the early hours of Saturday, while water logging was reported at several residential localities in Hyderabad.
Five persons – three from Madhya Pradesh and two from Hyderabad – died when the wall of a painting company near Narsapur crossroads in Balanagar collapsed around 2.30 a.m. on their huts, Balanagar Inspector Srinivas Reddy told The Hindu. Nearly 10 families had erected huts abutting the compound wall facing the main road and had been living in them.
“Due to heavy and night-long rain, the wall of the old building collapsed and fell on the huts,” the inspector said. Many of them were from Madhya Pradesh and had come to the city for to find a living by selling wool blanket. Three of them died. Two others, municipal worker, Laxmi, 45, and her son, Ramesh, living in another hut, too were killed in the incident.
The bodies were shifted to the Gandhi hospital for conducting post-mortem examination. In another incident, the wall of a house collapsed at Adityanagar in Hafeezpet of Miyapur around 4 a.m. killing four of a family who were asleep. The victims included a woman, her two daughters and a son. The Miyapur police have rushed to the spot and are clearing the debris.
The incessant rain resulted in water-logging in many residential and commercial localities in central parts of the city and on the outskirts. Drains overflowed slowing down traffic movement on some trunk routes.

Movie : Tuneega Tuneega
Rating: 2.5/5
Cast : Sumanth Aswin, Rhea, Prabhu, Nagababu, Sayaji Shinde and others
Directed by : MS Raju
Produced by : Maganti Ram Chandran
Banner : Sri Venkateswara Arts
Music : Karthik Raja
Release Date : 2012-07-20

MS Raju is one of the very few producers of this generation that earned brand value to his production house. He has delivered a string of hits during a period and later slipped down with a series of flops. He is back with Tuneega Tuneega and this time he has only donned the director's hat. This film is produced by Padmini Arts and presented by Dil Raju. Apart from direction, MS Raju also took the responsibility of establishing his son Sumanth Aswin as hero with this film. Let's check out how this debut vehicle of Sumanth Ashwin is...

What is it about?

A chef's son Karthik (Ashwin) and a billionaire's daughter Nidhi (Rhea) fall in love and gets separated before they express their love. Why do they separate and how will they work out their differences is what this film is about.

Performances:                                                                                                                                

Sumanth Ashwin is a confident young man. He didn't fear facing the camera and there is certain ease in his body language. His boy next door looks helps him to get a good impression in the first look itself. With some fine tuning he can be a better actor. There are so many scenes and songs where the focus is mainly on his dance and he did reasonably well. Could do better.

Rhea is a pretty face with that ever flashing Colgate smile. She is okay as an actor and not good at dances. Rest of the star cast did their best to keep the story moving. Senior actors are present in good numbers and that made things easy.

On the Technical Front:

Music is scored by Karthik Raja and his background score is good only at times. There is too much influence of the West in his music. Songs are just ordinary. Films like these need a soothing musical score and that is badly missing. Dialogues by Paruchuri Brothers are out dated.

Gopal Reddy's camera work is brilliant. It is one of the major highlights of this film. Art department did well too. Editing could have been better. There is certain amount of lag in the second hour.

MS Raju has written and directed this film. As a director he has done pretty decent job with the framings and shot division and all. He extracted good performances from the lead pair and certainly no signs of a relatively new director. Raju knows how to make a film, but what let him down this time is the writing. Story is age old and the screenplay is bad. The ancient old story is treated in an old fashioned style and that has become the major setback.

Analysis:                                                                                   

Tuneega Tuneega is supposed to be a heart touching love story of a young couple who battle against all the odds to become one. Most of the love stories have similar theme and we have seen thousands of films with similar storyline. MS Raju thought that this would be the best story to launch his son.

Having a weak story is not a big drawback for the films these days. As we are witnessing many films that have wafer thin storylines doing well at the box office. What you need is good treatment and interesting screenplay. For love stories breezy entertainment and lilting music will add bonus points. Sadly, Tuneega Tuneega has none of the above.

It is a bland love story told in a pretty ordinary style. The pace is slow and the film takes ages to move to the interval point. There are some bright moments in the film towards interval and during the climax. Rest of the movie is predictable junk garnished with non-exciting music.

Tuneega Tuneega is one of the few films that doesn't torture you and also make you feel that 'what-am-I-doing-in-the-last-couple-of-hours'. It is absolute waste of time and saying so you can watch it if you are in dire need of killing some unwanted time or two hours sleep may be! Sumanth Ashwin did his part well, but his father is the one who could have done so better. Better luck next time Mr. Raju!

Verdict: Tuneega Tuneega is old, but certainly not gold!

Actress Vijayalakshmi has lodged a complaint on Wednesday against Tamil director Seeman, the chief co-ordinator of Naam Thamizhar Iyakkam (NTI). In her four page complaint Vijayalakshmi has said that she was having a close relationship with Seeman for three years, who is now refusing to marry her.


The actress and the director became close during the filming of 'Vaazhthugal'. Vijayalakshmi has reportedly complained that the filmmaker has sexually exploited her and now he is declining to tie the knot.

"Vijayalakshmi and Seeman have been in relationship for three years.  Since he refused to marry her and obviously ditched her, Vijayalakshmi has now approached the police to take legal action against Seeman," said a police officer.

Vijayalakshmi has acted in many movies and also in television mega-serials. She came with her counsels to the commissioner's office and submitted the petition at 2.30 pm.

The petition was immediately forwarded to the T Nagar deputy commissioner of police S Thirunavukarasu for further investigation.

It may be recalled that Vijaya Lakshmi, had attempted to commit suicide in 2006 after she was harassed by an assistant director of a reality show, which was hosted by her.

Later that year, she announced her marriage with a small-time Kannada actor Srujan Lokesh, but their relationship did not last long as they broke up in 2007.

According to the sources, Seeman is planning to get married to a Srilankan Tamil girl and the preparations are going on in full swing.

Earlier, Seeman has raised his voice for the uplift of Tamils in the island nation of Sri Lanka.

The Crime Investigation Department (CID) recently rescued four television artistes from Goa who were allegedly sexually exploited. The police said that they were being engaged by the party organizers on the pretect of hosting entertainment programmes. The CID told the media that not just these three but many television artistes of Telugu industry meted out the same kind of treatment in Goa, Bangalore and even in Gulf countries.
The women protection cell (of CID) SP, Kalpana Naik told the media that ther recent case of four women, who were taken to Goa, came to their notice after an NGO complained that these girls were exploited for sexual favours. She said the artistes were brought back from Goa and sent to rehabilitation centre.
She has also said that most of these women were junior artistes and the exploiters apparently needn't train them as to how to dance. In fact, a few months back father allegedly tried to force his daughter to send to dance clubs in gulf countries. Girl's mother approached the police and the girl was rescued. This took place in a village near Sri Kalahasthi of Chittoor district. In fact, the same father already sent his elder daughter to Gulf (although she was a minor) by getting a passport with fake date of birth, she added.
Meanwhile, the officials said that traffickers target women who face critical financial situation and who will be in deliberate need of cash. The officials said such girls will be lured that they would be provided good jobs in Gulf countries and finally sell them off.

If buzz is to be believed, the much awaited film of renowned film maker, Shekhar Kammula, Life Is Beautiful will be released on August 15. The sources said that the film unit has planned to release this film on independence day. While the cast is new, Shreya will apparently be the only known face in this film and film sources said that this actress is going to play a short yet and important role in the movie.
The sources have also said that Life Is Beautiful is a sequel to Happy Days film, which rocked the Telugu audience.  The music of this film was scored by Micky J Meyer.

Bikini clad soldiers could be a reality possibly only in Israel. Compulsory military service of two years after reaching 18 is the common law on the prowl. The army contingent has one-third of the feminine force, and 50 per cent of its officers, making the Israel Defence Forces one of the most gender-equal units in the world. Moreover, such similar scenes are quite common on the beaches of Tel Aviv. However, this one gained prominence as it was posted on the internet on a social networking site, becoming a prominent point for discussions.

Many gave weird comments over the issue. Some said that the two beauties on guard were reluctant to hand over the weapons to the armor depot because of the cumbersome procedures. Others felt that probably the duo had no time to do so. Some more felt that as the weapons are necessary to have it in the near vicinity, the duo had them on themselves. As in Israel, losing a weapon could land the officer in a military prison.
Many say that it is not a stray incident. In a bid to promote tourism, in 2007,  Israel's Foreign Ministry backed a public relations campaign out of its consulate in New York showing former female soldiers in minimal wear on its sunny beaches. 'We want to make people in the world to see Israel through our glasses,' said Aviv Shiron, Deputy Director General for Media and Public Affairs in the Israeli Foreign Ministry

Finally, top Nandamuri hero Balakrishna has opened his mouth about Jr.NTR and the recent happenings. Speaking at a press conference, Balayya revealed truths about the disputes in Nandamuri family.

'There are no splits in Nandamuri family, Nara family or between these two families. Jr.NTR is right now busy with films and he can enter politics at anytime he wishes to', says Balayya. The star hero appealed to all political opponents not to split their fans by creating unwanted differences. 'In 2014, Chandrababu will lead the party from front. There is no question of changing leadership and he will be our CM candidate too', the actor added. Responding on Lokesh's political entry, Balayya expressed that he has no objection for that and Lokesh can enter mainstream politics if fans want that.

Though Balayya has spoken soft about everything, he too breathed fire regarding Kodali Nani's episode. 'In the name of fans, no one should disrespect the party and its leadership. We'll not spare such people. If someone wants to split Nandamuri fans, they will get a strong reply from fans itself', stressed Balakrishna. He promised that all the family members of Nandamuri will soon share a single-stage publicly...

After acting in a couple of movies, generally heroines look towards producing flicks but not directing it. But our spicy beauty is quite opposite to that and is planning to become director. She started being an assistant too.

Something interesting is happening on the sets of Tamil hero Ajith's upcoming film. Currently Nayantara is paired opposite this film that is getting shaped up under the direction of Vishnuvardhan (Panjaa fame). It is heard that during the break times, Nayan is said to be working as an assistant director. She is holding clapboards and writing edit-notes like a regular AD, says a source. However, if Nayan is doing all this for fun or if she really wants to learn the tricks of the trade is not known.

They say that Nayan is trying to break the boredom by beating her leisure time with all these activities. Who knows, she might become director too one day!

Mumbai models rocking Tollywood is not something new here and these girls are not leaving even small-roles now. Let us have a look at a young girl who is becoming the sought after option for chota film-makers.

You might have heard about Tashu Kaushik, the girl who rocked silver screen in a bikini with Mohan Babu-Sharwanand's 'Raju Maharaju' movie. At the moment, the hot Mumbai model is acting in a couple of flicks. Earlier she has starred in more than half a dozen movies. The secret behind her continuous signing of movies seems to be the remuneration and ready-for-anything attitude. Insiders revealed that Tashu is charging around 2-3 lakhs for a movie despite of her seniority and is open for skin-show. This budget is far less from what an aspiring heroine will quote.

Waiting for the right flick to strike a chord is one way, while making hay when the sun shines is the other way!

AP Police has increased their vigil on Hukkah parlours and pubs that supply Hukkah to prevent minors from getting addicted. However, from the moment police started this, the business got doubled.

Rather going all the way to Hukkah parlour to suck a gulp of that addictive smoke, girls are said to be buying that hukkah-setup permanently. Reports indicated that some working women from Madhapur area who stay in hostels have purchased these setups that cost around 3000 rupees. Instead of getting caught by the police at private pubs, it is better to have it calmly inside their room is what they feel. An old city businessman revealed that he has sold around 50 units in the last two days, of which 80% are purchased by young girls.

Raiding and putting them behind bars or giving them lectures is not the best way to prevent use of Hukkah or drug laced Hukkah. It's better if Police department launches a social-responsibility campaign to curb this threat.

Many Telugu girls are giving ample peeks of skin but failing on the expression part these days. Popular yet unsuccessful Telugu beauty Veda's case is the best example. In fact, this sensuous beauty is roped in for an art-movie that falls in 'adult category'. The movie deals with the story of famous novel 'Maidanam' written by Chalam. The lead woman of this flick is said to be involving in a couple of extra marital affairs at the same time and need to showcase deepest emotions. Veda, who is roped in to justify this role was out of this movie after three days of shoot, says a Film Nagar source. They are saying that Veda failed to get right sensuous and erotic expressions in some dark scenes. Cine lovers are saying that this happened for the good of Veda, as acting in this flick will push her into a complete B-grade list. On the flip side, she might have missed an award winning opportunity too!

Once upon a time he is haunted by continuous flops and at last he has found the secret behind his success. We are talking about young hero Nitin, who is still basking in the success of 'Ishq'. Even after attacking with a dozen of movies, Nitin scored big success only with 'Dil' and 'Ishq', while the credit of his debut flick 'Jayam' goes to Teja. If you could notice, both those hit flicks are named with Hindi words. Finding this is a big sentiment for his victory, Nitin named his next movie as 'Dilwala'. Insiders revealed that our young hero is struck with this 'Hindi Words Syndrome' and roped in a couple of Bollywood writers to suggest him good Hindi title before ending up with this. On the flip side he has rid off this sentiment for his 'Courier Boy Kalyan' due to the pressures from producer Gautham Menon. As long as Nitin plays subtle in his movies, people love to watch him irrespective of the movie title. The hero should notice that his larger than life characters are the culprits that have given him flop flicks.

The film industry is one place where actresses have to shed their inhibitions at one point or the other since it has to do with glamour. So it is a rather delicate situation for few parents when their daughters tend to go bold. Something like that seems to have happened with this senior actor. We are talking about the Bollywood veteran Shatrughan Sinha and it is heard that he has been feeling a bit uncomfortable with the acts of his darling daughter Sonakshi Sinha. Apparently the big girl with the bold curves has been increasing her sex appeal much to the inconvenience of her strict father. Recently, Sonakshi performed at an awards event for a rather saucy number while her dad was sitting in the front row. Now, it is heard that Sona ended up getting drunk for doing a song in her new movie to give a realistic performance and dance freely. This news has reached Daddy Shatrughan which is making him unhappy, as per sources.

Sweety Shetty a.k.a. Anushka was first spotted by Telugu film industry. She made her debut with Nagarjuna's Super and went on to become the busiest actress in T town. She was offered many big films opposite top stars and also has done Arundhati, which is a dream for any actress. In spite of all that Anushka is not showing much interest in Telugu films now. Anushka has been rejecting many offers that come her way for unknown and unexplained reasons. She is currently doing Dhamarukam for which she has signed on the dotted line two years ago. Anushka is doing Varadhi movie as she walked away from Prabhas's other film Rebel. Other than these two, Anushka hasn't taken up any Telugu film in the recent past. She rejected an offer to pair up with Balakrishna in Aditya 999 movie. On the other hand she has been on signing spree in Kollywood. Tamil cinema didn't care to give her offers in reasonable films at the start. They have noticed Anushka's talent only with Arundhati and Vedam. But the actress is not showing any gratitude to the field that made her what she is. Classic case of being disloyal, isn'nt

While ace directors Puri Jagannath and Trivikram are worried about their releases, the producer of sensational flick 'Eega' is nudging them more. Looks like, Puri and Trivikram cannot avoid clash with Eega. Sai Korrapati, the producer of 'Eega' has so many plans on his mind that will disturb both Puri and Trivikram. Fearing the buzz of 'Eega', already 'Julayi' and 'Devudu Chesina Manushulu' has moved far back to a release in August 2nd week. However, 'Eega' producer is planning to release his second movie on those dates only. While 'Julayi' is slated for August 9th, Sai Korrapati's 'Andala Rakshasi' is getting scheduled for August 10th to lock horns. With the craze he got by Rajamouli's movie, Sai will surely get this small movie released in big theatres amidst huge publicity, affecting the collections of both 'Julayi' and 'Devudu Chesina Manushulu'. And if the film can manage a bit on content side too, then there will be a slight deficit in Puri-Trivikram mo

There's only one talk in the state now-When will Chiranjeevi made the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh. And these questions, talks and speculations will reportedly turn to reality as Congress high command is soon going to change the leadership in the state, said sources. While Congress leaders such as Renuka Chowdhary and others who rubbished the speculations earlier stating that CM post was not vacant are remaining silent now. This itself indicates that some key changes are going to take place in the state, opined the political observers.
The Congress legislators are reportedly unhappy with Kiran Kumar Reddy as the chief minister. Some leaders such as Shankar Rao went ahead and wrote a letter to the high command that Congress had to face defeat in bypoll only due to Kiran. Also, the reports indicated that people were irked by the decision of high command not giving right post to Chiranjeevi in the state and that's why they didn't cast their votes for Congress.
While change in leadership apparently turned an unavoidable aspect to the high command, who will be the right person to adorn the seat has reportedly become a big question to the Congress high command. And sources said it was reviewing the interests of the public at large in the state besides the support of legislators Chiranjeevi is having. Keeping in view all these things, the sources stressed, Congress would reportedly make Chiranjeevi the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh the moment presidential elections conclude, said sources.
In fact, Secunderabad MP Anjan Kumar Yadav clearly told the media last week that a significant changein AP politics would take place after presidential elections. Above all, the political observers said it was the need of the hour for Congress to ensure that it lures the voters in order to retain its power in 2014. To make it happen in reality, the party should make a person like Chiranjeevi the chief minister.

Also, the observers said Chiranjeevi hailed from Kapu community and state has majority of kapu voters and in order to bank of votes of kapus, Chiru should be made the chief minister of the state. Already opposition party TDP observed the kapu vote bank and the supremo Chandrababu Naidu promised that he would give 100 MLA tickets to kapus. This itself proves that any leader can rely on kapu vote bank, opined analysts. So, they said in every possible angle Congress party would be benefitted by Chiranjeevi in case he's asked to adorn the chief minister's seat.
People will be happy and so will be the legislators only when a true leader leads not just the party but the state. And who else can be a true leader other than Chiranjeevi?

The Hyderabad police raided on a pub at GVK Mall in posh Banjara Hills of Hyderabad. At least 120 persons were taken into the custody. The police, who got information that minors thronged pubs, have arrived at the pub and were apparently astonished looking at teenagers shaking legs in inebriated state. The cops reportedly lashed out the organizers of the pub. Also, they conducted breath analyzer tests on the youngsters.
Later, the police conducted counselling on the teenagers who were dancing under influence of alcohol. The experts opined that police should not only conduct raids on pubs but even on the road side wine shops wherein people purchase liquor and booze in public.

It is known news that a long list of actresses keep frequenting to the USA regularly. This is in the form of ATA, TANA, NATS and the other American Telugu associations inviting for their events. Ideally they are expected to take part in dance performance or be part of a skit or just be there for the glamour quotient.

However, it is heard that the actresses are busy doing a 'side business'. Reports say that most of the actresses are taking sarees, designer clothes, fancy jewellery and other stuff to the US while going from here. And they are selling it to NRI wives. It is heard that they make a huge margin of profits through this.

There is also news that few actresses tend to make personal trips to the US since their business is running well. But most of the times they prefer to go as part of the delegations since ticket cost is free and they can carry more of their luggage through 'group booking' facility. This is interesting.

Tara Chowdhary - this name is now creating waves in the media besides apparently worrying the VIPs in political field. After allegedly throwing mud at Kanna Lakshminarayana, Tara Chowdhary now took the name of Lakshmiparvathy, the widow of legendary politician.  She said Lakshmiparvathy even threatened her of death in case she approaches media in the case.

It is known that Tara Chowdhary was caught for running a protitution ring in the posh area of Hyderabad. She was also said to have acted in many films. When Tara Chowdhary was arrested, she apparently released a footage to the media claiming that she was being threatened by a politician. After that she kept on hitting headlines taking one name after the other.
Tara Chowdhary reportedly told the police that she was lured by an actor, who is a doctor. She said she was being taken for a ride by this actor who later dumped her. Tara even claimed that the wife of actor too knew this and said this was all common in films. When these statements were out,  rumours were rife that it was Dr. Rajashekhar who apparently ditched Tara Chowdhary.

Recently, Tara Chowdhary gave an interview to a vernacular newschannel. She said she sought the help of NTR's widow Lakshmiparvathy when she was apparently threatened by the followers of Rayapati Sambasiva Rao. While she sought refuge, Lakshmi Parvathy allegedly threatened her of dire consequences had she opened her mouth, said Tara Chowdhary. She even alleged that in case anyone's name is leaked, she would be killed.

With Tara Chowdhary taking so many names and confusing people, the public in the state apparently lost the interest to follow up Tara Chowdhary's case.

It has been more than 3 years Sruthi Hassan made her acting debut as the daughter Veteran Actor Kamal Hassan… the actress has earned good reviews for her multi talented personality and performance skills, but there was not even a single success to her credit... but, with the block buster success of her recent film with Power Star titled 'Gabbar Singh', Sruthi Hasaan is being suddenly recognized for her luck and is in demand both in T-Town and K-Town...

Vijayawada Congress MP Lagadapati Rajagopal has said that he would approach the court of law against the Sakshi media for allegedly publishing and telecasting fabricated stories. He has said that he would present before the court the stories published against a premier investigative agency in the country. He has also alleged that Sakshi newspaper was set up allegedly with the ill gotten money. To make a point, Lagadapati Rajagopal has alleged that Sakshi started its attack on the political parties and media, and now it's trying to throw dirt at the supreme authorities in the country.

Movie : EEGA
Rating: 3.75/5
Cast : Nani, Samantha, Sudeep and others
Directed by : SS Rajamouli
Produced by : Sai Korrapati
Banner : Varahi Chalanachitram
Music : MM Keeravani
Release Date : 2012-07-06
Every time a Rajamouli film releases, audiences and critics should search for adjectives. We can't simply say that Rajamouli film is 'Good' or 'Very Good'. We will have to search for words to define it. Rajamouli never gets tires of outperforming himself. He has done that numerous times in the past and has done it again. Eega is one of the best films that was ever made on Indian screen. Read on to know the details...

What is it about?

Nani (Nani) is madly in love with Bindhu (Samantha), who doesn't respond to him, but loves him silently. A crooked billionaire Sudeep (Sudeep) eyes Bindhu, but comes to know that she loves Nani. While Bindhu decides to express her love to Nani, Sudeep takes him away and kills him. Nani immediately takes rebirth as Eega and comes back to save Bindhu from the clutches of Sudeep. Samantha gets to know that Nani is reborn as Eega and they will execute a combined plan to bring down Sudeep.

Performances:                                                                                                                                
Nani is restricted for very less time. He hardly has twenty minutes of screen time, but impresses with his natural portrayal. He is lovable in that cameo. Samantha is a damsel. She is a natural beauty that is easy on eyes. She knows how to carry herself on screen. She can act too. Samantha, who hasn't yet scored a flop in Telugu, will keep her success record intact with this movie.

Sudeep is stupendous. What an actor? He made it believable that he is really being tortured by the housefly. True signs of a great actor! Actors don't get such roles every time and when they get one they have to make full use of it. Sudeep exactly did the same and will now earn many fans here. There is some humorous touch given to his character and he pulled it off without a minute error. Remaining star cast has negligible role to play as the story mainly runs on the principal characters.

On the Technical Front:

Rajamouli made sure that this film comes out brilliantly on the technical front. All the technicians have done terrific job and have given very good output. Keeravani's music is the highlight. His background score took eega to the next level. Senthil's camera work is another asset. He matched the CGI shots and regular camera shots in perfect sync. Editing is crisp. Visual FX and Graphics are top notch for the standards of a Telugu film. There are few instances where the output could have been better. But on a whole they are superb.

Rajamouli has taken up a challenge of making a film with Eega as the hero and he has delivered the goods like a pro. Not every director would dare to make such a film. Rajamouli is definitely not in the league of other commercial directors. He deserves the places from one to ten among top directors and the rest follow from 11. He will be celebrated in national level with this film. We should be proud that he has taken our cinema to another level.

Analysis:                                                                                   

Eega is tagged as ultimate revenge story and you should watch the film to know why it is! This is really an ultimate entertainer where there is no big commercial hero to shoulder it. However, audience would connect with the Eega and its revenge right away. How many times have you seen crowds cheering a housefly's entry? Eega is not less than any commercial hero, at least in this film.

Rajamouli's has done very good research on the houseflies. He captured every tiny movements and incorporated in the film. He used the tininess of the protagonist to good effect and there are tons of scenes that would leave you awestruck. Watch out for the scene where Eega causes a traffic jam and the scene where it gets back into the running car through ac window.

Only a great director could imagine such scenes and bring them on to the screen with such finesse. Rajamouli ranks among the best directors that India has ever produced. Eega proves that he is the commercial guru of cinema. He made a film which is totally different and yet commercially viable.

All the sections of audience could enjoy this film as Rajamouli dealt it in typical Telugu commercial filmy style. There are elements that caters to every section. Except for the fact that the logic has gone for a toss, Eega is pretty good on every level. May be the screenplay could have been fine tuned as there are some hiccups in between.

Nevertheless, Eega entertains and engages throughout. There are scenes where you would watch the action with closed fists. Should we give better example to say that this film succeeds? Eega is an experience that should never be missed. And you know where to head right after you are done reading this review, right?

Verdict:  Eega is excellently exceptional, thoroughly entertaining and fully exciting!

In our daily lives, there might be countless occasions when we are left in an embarrassed situation. Even Celebrities are no exception in this case. Asin Thottumkal faced an embarrassment situation recently. The actress was in Dubai for the shoot of her forthcoming Bollywood film. To make use of the short gaps during the shooting, Asin went on a shopping spree. After picking up her favorites in a shopping mall, she came to the counter to settle the bills and only then she realized that she forgot to bring her wallet. With no money in hand, Asin was struck in mall for hours. Embarrassed Asin finally called up the makers of the film and informed them about her situation. They immediately sent one of the unit members to clear the dues of the actress. Asin breathed a sigh of relief after the payment and walked away from there immediately. It's now clear that this South beauty will never forget her wallet in future!

In a tragic incident, a 70-year-old woman was allegedly crushed to death by a car owned by actor Sohail Khan. Except the Driver, no one was seated in the car at the time when the accident took place.

Sohail's elder brother and Bollywood superstar Salman Khan spoke to the media about the issue. Saying that the Old Woman's death was an unfortunate incident, the actor advised the people who sleep on the road need to be careful.

Salman said that the driver has been working with his family for the past 25 years because he was known for slow and safe driving. The star also shot back at the media for unnecessarily highlighting the incident. He asked the journos to report all the accidents in the country that have happened in the past two day with details of car number, driver, owner and also their brothers.

However, this is not the first time Salman's family has been involved in such incidents. In 2002, Salman Khan's car ran over pavement killing one and seriously injured three others. Why do they keep killing the homeless people on the road and How fair is blaming the poor people on road, instead of accepting the fault. 'Being Human' Salman is behaving in an Inhuman way!

Though there are no proper hits to this slender beauty's career in Tollywood, she is always a hot property. However, this beauty is facing lot of troubles here which are always irritating her.

In a candid chat, petite heroine Taapsee reveals about the way gossips are being woven around her. She says that all those news about her remuneration charges, live-in relation with a flop hero are completely false. 'I know that source who is gossiping all this stuff. Mr.X needs to be taught a lesson', said Taapsee. But Taapsee remained tight lipped about that 'x' though she is stressed to reveal who that person is. Whether that 'x' is a person, or a TV channel or a website is also something we should find out.


Well, for any heroine gossips are something like shadows that follow as long as they are in lime light. Our hottie should learn to take them light and go ahead with her works.

This slender waist beauty's 10 year game with films is almost on the verge of extinction. Though there are some chances for survival, the sex-bomb heroine is giving the feeling of 'game over'.

Shriya Saran is the name that used to send hot vibes among Tolly audience. Her beautiful smile and ravishing skin show is always a teaser for eligible bachelors. Off late, she got into raunchy item songs that have left her completely dejected off heroine roles. At the moment, she is having only a single flick in her hand. Shriya is playing the lead role in her first Kannada flick 'Chandra'. It is heard that the sexy beauty is talking a lot about this project everywhere including parties, events and on social networking sites. This is not giving publicity for the project, but giving a feeler that this is end of Shriya's career, or simply 'Game Over'.

Maybe Shriya is not to the likes of Sridevi or Radha to get her name written in golden letters, but still she holds a place in hearts of many youth. They say that Shriya has all chances to revive back her lost glory with just one hit. Let's hope for the best.

A couple in Bengaluru moved Karnataka High Court against self styled godman Nityananda. The couple, in their petition, mentioned that Nityananda allegedly detained their son at his ashram in Karnataka since 2009. They said their son Santosh became a disciple of Nityananda after he completed hotel management course in 2009. They said Santosh moved down to Bididi ashram but was in touch with them for a couple of months. The couple mentioned that Santosh stop telephoning them and parents too were not given any information when they apparently approached the ashram.
Nityananda has been facing several allegations. Recently he was in news as an Indian origin US citizen complained that Nityananda raped her for five years from 2005 to 2010. Two years back an alleged MMS of Nityananda had hit Internet, which apparently contained sleazy acts of godman with a south India actress.  Nityananda was even accused of mixing drugs in water at his ashram. Recently he was made the pontiff of Madhurai Aadeenam.
It is the duty of parents to guide their children not to tilt towards fake godmen. Thirst for spiritual knowledge should  make a person chose a right guru otherwise one would end up following the advocacies of the evil.

With not even a direct Telugu film, the Telugu speaking Actor, Vishal managed to bag the audience attention with his Tmail films dubbed in Telugu. With not much films, but those films that made him stand out as a versatile Actor, Vishal after a gap of couple of months, is back again with a complete brand new role as ‘Kilaadi’. This Actor talks much more about the film

About playing ‘Kilaadi’
I thoroughly enjoyed playing a lead in this film. This is not a entertainer that is limited to any particular genre of audience as such. It is a film that entertains you and nothing more. Of course, there is some psychology factor added to it as well. But, this is the role that I have never played till date in any of my film. Romancing 3 beautiful girls at a time and that too either of them not knowing about this is a mind game. And moreover, there is a lot of humor added to, throughout the film. Of course, this movie caters to today’s generation to a major extent. I am happy that the film is getting good reviews both in Telugu and Tamil. Foe me, playing a ‘kilaadi’ was not a easy task. I had to transform my entire personality, looks and just unlearn all those acting skills my previous roles have taught me, to get that complete fresh look for this film. And when it comes to the title of the film, even this is so apt for the hero’s characterization in the film. If a guy is in love with a girl, he is considered to be normal. If a guy is in love with 3 girls at a time, he is none other than a ‘kilaadi’ (laughs)…
Finally, all our efforts have ended up being a success.
About the maker of this flick
Tiru worked as a assistant Director for my earlier film ‘Salute’. My Brother Vikram Krishna had a plan to launch Tiru as a director. When Tiru had come up with this script, he and my Brother had only one name in mind for the hero in this film and that is me. Even I thought I should not miss such a film after listening to the story. There are n numbers of directors who have one picture in their mind and project another on silver screen. But, Tiru knows what he has to show exactly. And I am happy to have worked with him.
Apart from Tiru, I would also thank my brother Vikram Krishna, producer of this flick of considering me apt for such a challenging role.
About not doing a direct Telugu Film till date
Well, even I would agree to your point. Till date, I wanted to but for many reasons did not have an opportunity to act in a direct Telugu Film. but, I am dubbing for my roles in the dubbed films of mine so, I would not feel much that I am not a part of this Industry. Yes, I would also want to entertain the Telugu audience with a Direct Telugu film and that would happen soon.
About taking much gap in between each film
This is definitely not a planned act. I am such a person that to get in and get out of the skin of each role, it would take some time for me, in fact more than for all the other heroes I suppose. This is one of the reason for me not doing films one after the other, continuously. Apart from this, I cannot end up acting in same kind of roles and films. For me, my each film has to have a variation from my previous one. The ratio of success and failures apart, I would not want to be stuck up in any ‘image’ net. I would prefer to be known to people as a good actor rather than a successful hero. All these reasons could be for me not appearing in films more regular.
More about ‘Kilaadi’
Working in this film in particular is a different experience all together. I have never worked with more than one heroine in my earlier films. But in this film I had a chance to work with three heroines at a time. Well, it was difficult for that matter. Sharing a screen space with heroines and that too they do not know the language, enacting the situations with them at a time and most important all those romance sequences, oh God! I could not manage. Somehow I have done this in this flick, but I have decided I would not let this repeat in my future films (laughs). Jokes apart, all the three heroines, Sana Jane, TanushreeDatta and Neetu Chandra were amazing artists. Moreover, Neetu had much scope to showcase her acting skills in this role. And even Sara had her share in the film. All these three ladies, despite of not knowing the language enacted their best in the film…
Apart from the rest Prakash Raj Sir, once again was the show staler in this film. He is a versatile Actor. Be it a comedy, action oriented, negative role or whatever, he does the role in such a level that we would end up imagining no one else but only him in the role. I enjoyed working with him as well and his role to the film is a back bone for the success of this film.
‘kilaadi’ is not made to just inculcate a negative thought among any genre of audience. I agree that films play a major mind game among the audience mind. But, this is just an entertainment flick. It is about a guy, who just wants best in his life and with this wish, he chooses to date 3 best girls and choose one among them. But at the end, he realizes what true love is. I suppose audience is clever enough to take what they want from a film
