t has become common to see young actresses posing in bikini and flaunting their curves at every given opportunity but the same cannot be expected from ladies who crossed 30 and still maintain a sexy figure. But one lady grabbed a lot of attention and she has been bold enough to give some nude pictures as well. She is none other than Poonam Jhawar and recently she did a role in the Bollywood release 'Oh My God' which became a big hit. It is heard that this stint has worked for Poonam. Many are reportedly calling her for further roles, especially the characters of seductive aunties and glamorous sidekicks. The cine folks are saying that Poonam's screen presence as hot lady is good and she can become a good vamp or hot character artist. Till date, Poonam has a strong following for her photos and juicy pictures but not as an actress or through films. Maybe this is the turning point in her career.
Priyanka Chopra has done varied roles in the past and no one could ever guess what's her next step would be! Right from the 'Bold Role in Fashion' to 'Wearing a Bikini in Dostana' to 'Playing Mentally Challenged Girl in Barfe', she has a surprise for film buffs all the time. The actress proudly claims she will be turning into an item girl for her upcoming film Zanjeer opposite Ram Charan. "The song I would be doing in Zanjeer is an item number, even though it's my film. It will be a full jhatak dance song," she confirms. Ram Charan is undoubtedly one of the finest dancers in the country. So, it would be interesting to see how the rapport between the dancing star and acting queen would be in their first film. All eyes were on this Rs 70-crore project which is a remake of Amitabh Bachchan's super hit Zanjeer, that earned him the name of Angry Young Man in Bollywood. Can Charan make a mark of his own in B-town? Let's see!
Heroes and heroines introduced by certain directors always get a different name. But director Sukumar introduced new girls only a couple of times and they failed to get attention. Still his 'testing' has a story! Before selecting a heroine, star directors do test shoots and auditions with many girls. Ironically, most of the girls tested and disqualified by Sukumar are getting good chances in Tollywood. One Delhi based model Surabhi who is auditioned for '100% Love' is now a heroine opposite Sairam Shankar in his new flick. Sources share that Sukumar himself has suggested her name. Another girl he has test-shot for Mahesh's flick is now considered for a star-hero. So girls who are attending Sukku's test are quite happy along with other directors who want to take Sukku's girls. Many a times, some top starlets are ignored by directors during their early shoots. Best case is Ileana, who is to debut in Teja's movie but the director ruled her out as unfit. And, rest is history. Let us see where Sukumar's girls will go now.
South India Shopping Mall in Kukutpally was inaugurated by Superstar Mahesh the other day in a grand manner. Mahesh is the brand ambassador of the showroom too. But shockingly, the mall is seized by GHMC officials today for lack of occupancy certificate. GHMC additional planning officer Ramulu stated that SouthIndia mall is not having proper parking facilities and violated other building norms, for which they are not issued an occupancy certificate till date.
More authentic information is yet to come on the issue, while SouthIndia mall owners are not available for comment.
Further, he demanded that KCR should tender an apology to the people of Telangana region in case he has determination on Telangana. To make a point he has said that there was no benefit to Telangana region from KCR. It may be noted that KCR went to Delhi on September 5 and returned Hyderabad recently after he held wide range consultations on the issue with several leaders. However, there was no detailed description as to which leader said what on Telangana issue, said observers. Well, it looks like the image of TRS is slowly coming down with TJAC taking the centre stage on the issue.
Budding Actress Divya who was one among the three girls in the recently released 'Oka Romantic Crime Katha' has been facing sexual harassment from her own family member from the past few months. "My Uncle misbehaved with me several times. I bought this matter to the notice of my other family members, but everyone supported him instead of standing on my side. He threatened to pour acid on me, kill me and malign my image, if I reveal about his wrongdoings to anyone," says the girl, who was thrown out by her mother from the house.
With just Rs 200 in her hand, she spent the last two days in bus stand & railway station, and finally approached a news channel for help. Divya has no plans to go back to her home again fearing his family would kill her, but she is confident about earning her livelihood if the two films which are in her hands gets a release. Wish she gets what she desired!
I suppose only few Actress like Tamanna and Nayantara, the Second innings have worked super positive... these beautiful ladies manage to acquire success, offers and hype...

Even in Tamil Nayan is doing a film with star hero Ajith and another with young hero Aarya...
The actress is planning and choosing the films in such a way that make her stay in the industry for a while... looks like break up with Prabhu Deva, made Nayan more intelligent in analyzing the situations and make best out of what comes her way.
Buxom Queen Raasi aka Manthra is back on the small screen. Remember the yesteryear heroine who made an entry in Tamil with Priyam, while her debut film in Telugu was Subakanshalu. In fact her lustrous smile was unforgettable for youth around those days. The damsel is back in a much prestigious version on the small screen for a reality show.
She quit acting after getting married to Director Niwas, in 2005, if I am not wrong and she is back with a boom again. In between she also started a play school and had been in some controversies with Telugu actor Siva Balaji. After trying all the possible odds she is back under the camera for a Tamil TV show.
And the rumors are that the actress has been approached by a Tamil film maker to act in a film and she has readily jumped out of her seats to accept the offer. The rumor is that she is to don a prominent role in STR starer Vaalu. The movie features STR, Hansika, Santhanam and VTV Ganesh in key roles. Will it be directed by Niwas, is yet to be confirmed.
Ayan Mukherji, the notorious director who has earned his name for repeating the scenes in the shooting several times has done it yet again. Earlier there were reports that his latest movie Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani has overshot its schedule and is lagging behind the calendar.
The latest news shows that the team is further restless with the behavior of the director. He has reportedly gone overboard after he has ordered several retakes of the same shot. Locations for the movie have also been changed occasionally. Manali, Rajasthan and even Mumbai have been the prime locations and the crew is now set to travel to France soon to shoot for the next sequence.
Ever after such bustle the movie still has over 40% to be filmed.
News is rife in the industry that Ayan has driven Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone to the point of irritation after he has ordered one particular scene to be retaken 11 times. The actors who are spontaneous felt offended too.
With such dogged efforts making the news, people are sure to expect a great quality movie or else the director can expect a few eggs, tomatoes and footwear!
Two days after the sensational Telangana march, TRS president and MP K Chandrashekara Rao-who formed his political party to achieve statehood for Telangana-returned to Hyderabad (the hotbed of Jai Telangana movement) after a couple weeks from the national capital territory. At one point of time, people apparently thought and propagated that Telangana is KCR and KCR is Telangana. But the situation now seemed to have after TJAC's Telangana march. All political associations and parties came under the umbrella of the joint action committee and TRS is no exception. But then KCR, who left for Delhi to discuss issues pertaining to Telangana state, returned with empty hands. What KCR did in Delhi is a million dollar question.
However, the determined leader confidently said that the centre will convene a final all party meeting on Telangana issue. It may be noted that KCR earlier pitched his voice in support of a bill in the parliament and objected the idea of discussions and consensus. But by mentioning about the all party meeting, the political observers opined that, KCR was convinced by the big wigs in Delhi. If we look at the recent statements of AICC in charge of AP affairs Gulam Nabi Azad, a clear message came that a decision on Telangana would not be taken in near future. Same was apparently reiterated by Vayalar Ravi, a political observer to AP.
Nonetheless, KCR said that he went to Delhi only on the invitation of the Congress party and his party ex-MP Vinod said that the decision on Telangana got delayed only due to the cabinet expansion, which was earlier scheduled to take place in September. It may be recalled that KCR left for Delhi on September 5 and came back without any firm statement on Telangana although he termed that the talks were fruitful.
With Puri Jagan at the helm and stylish star as his hero, then everything is possible. And with producer Bandla Ganesh ready to buy anything, even cost factor is not an issue.
Deeply in love with Brazilian girls after casting Gabriela Bertante in his 'Devudu Chesina Manushulu' and 'Rambabu', director Puri Jagannadh is doing another experiment now. He wants to caste yet another Brazillian babe as the lead girl opposite Allu Arjun in their upcoming 'Iddaru Ammayilatho' movie along with Amala Paul. Other than half Indian half foreign girls like Amala Akkineni and Katrina Kaif, we have never seen a foreigner acting in lead role these days in Tollywood. After K Raghavendra Rao's 'Pardesi', it will be Puri's movie to do that feat.
Reports have that a girl named Nicole aka Nicci is in talks and there are 90% chances for her to sign the dotted line. The shooting of this film will go ahead in picturesque locales of Spain in November, while film will be launched on October 17th.
It has been ages since the awesome beauty Anushka has stepped into Telugu circuit. The only project she has okayed in the recent past is 'Damarukam' and the reasons are known to all. But now it looks like Anushka may have altered her restrictions and given permission for one more person.
He is none other than Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja. Reports are making rounds that a new movie has been registered and is gearing up to hit the floors. This is titled as 'Jinthatta' and it is being touted more like a sequel to Ravi Teja's blockbuster hit 'Vikramarkudu'. Incidentally, Ravi Teja paired up with Anushka in that.
Buzz is that this would be directed by a debutante Koti who is a protege of the tough taskmaster SS Rajamouli. It is heard that Anushka was approached and she said yes to it because Ravi Teja is there. At a time when the Mass Maharaja is going through a string of flops, if Anushka has said yes then she must be appreciated.
Enforcement Directorate notice stating attachment of properties has panicked Jagan's camp. After a long time YS Vijayamma and her daughter Sharmila have come public to criticize the proceedings made by ED.
'ED notice says that Hetero Drugs got a benefit of 22 crores from government and hence invested 29 crores in Jagan's companies. Who will invest 29 crores for 22 crores help? This looks senseless', accused Sharmila. She felt that Telugudesam is trying to end Jagan politically and pressurized Cong government to make ED send these notices.
'TDP MPs met Chidambaram for a couple of hours and immediately ED has sent this notice. As Jagan's bail petition is for hearing today, they are trying to influence court with this notice', she charged.
Even YS Vijayamma felt a surprise as ED issued notice at a time they are expecting bail for Jagan. 'Whenever Jagan's bail petition is coming for hearing, CBI is lodging additional charge sheets and now ED joined them', she stressed.
Heroines generally move close with directors and that will have many benefits. But there is always a huge imaginary line which one should not exceed, even the girls and the directors. Check this story!
Director Vamsi Paidipally is running on a high ever since he scored a hit with Jr NTR's 'Brindavanam'. After that flick, his fan following has grown immensely, especially lady fans including some less happening heroines. It is heard that Vamsi is talking dirty with one such heroine on Facebook chat and she asked him over phone about this. Shock! Vamsi Paidipally immediately clarified to her that there is no such Facebook account for him. He arranged a press meet immediately to give clarity to everyone that he is not holding any social media account for now and complained to cyber cell about the account holder.
It is very unfortunate that a director of his class became a victim of fake account. Before adding up celebrities on friends list, even girls and guys should get some confirmation at least.
Imagine if the hero and heroine are drooling over each other romantically and going wet for a moment. We can imagine it so easy but how the actors get it is the question. One such talk is going on about Manchu Vishnu now!
Those who have seen the visuals of Vishnu's forthcoming 'Denikaina Ready' are shocked with the glamour quotient put up by Hansika. More than that, the sizzling romantic chemistry between the lead pair is in discussion. Going by the stills, one can imagine how hard it would have been for Vishnu to avoid tasting those pout lips of our milky siren. They say that most of the moves are like near lip kisses and the hotness is shaking youths.
Well if the chemistry of hero and heroine get believability then the film should do wonders at Box Office. But talk is about how Vishnu got that near lip-kissing kind of feel so easily. It is something only he could answer.
After the debacle of 'Endukante Premanta', Ram focused on one film at a time and signed a movie with Bommarillu Bhaskar. After shooting for a while, lead girl Shuba Phutela walked out of this flick 'Ongole Gitta' and movie went into budget issues as they roped another girl. Now, the second girl is also out and beautiful yet flop record holder, Kriti Kharbanda is paired with Ram as a lead girl. For a girl like Kriti, who has no single hit among Boni, Teenmaar and Mr.Nookayya, this is like bread falling in ghee.
Currently, our Bangalore model Kriti is having a couple of films in Kannada circuit, but nothing here. Let us see if she breaks the jinx of flops and delivers a hit for Ram or not!
'KCR is in Delhi not because Congress invited him but to beg Congress leaders to divide this state. He has put up a proposal of making Hyderabad a Union Territory and rest of the state into two pieces', stressed Lagadapati. He pointed out that KCR should meet Home Minister to discuss about bifurcation but not others like Vaayilar Ravi and Azad.
'Near-defeat win in Parkal has shivered KCR that his political existence will get into trouble if state is not divided. He has come to Delhi only to avoid T-March, but not on invitation', he adds. Lagadapati confirmed that KCR has not met Shinde and there is no question of Telangana at any time.
'At any point, say it UPA government or Congress, we've never separated any state. Only a common opinion of all political parties will help the state divide. And, if T is given, then there is UP, Vidharbha and Goorkhaland kind of 15 more demands across India for separate states. This is not possible', said Lagadapati. The shocking revelations made by him have heated up the political circuits of Andhra Pradesh.
Speaking with National media, Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy felt that mergers are not at all required if all our MPs and MLAs unite and stand on the same word. 'If our people unite, mergers are not at all required. Anyway, Sonia will take a decision about merging YSR-Congress and TRS into our party', said CM Kiran. With these words, CM has indirectly confirmed that talks are going on at Delhi level for the merger of these two parties into Congress.
With CBI slowing down already in Jagan's case and TRS leaders not taking part in T-March, already there is a doubt about the merger even before 2014 polls. Analysts say that there will not be an immediate case of merger, but they cannot rule out the possibility of coalition.
Mass Raja is going through a lean patch of sorts from a long time. After delivering three back to back disasters, his only hope is Parasuram's 'Sir Vacharu'. However, Raviteja has signed his next movie with 'Eega' producer Sai Korrapati, if buzz is to be believed. Insiders revealed that Rajamouli is penning a story for Raviteja and this will be directed by his associate director Koti. With Sai Korrapati on the pedal, the budget of this movie is going to be lavish while Rajamouli mark action and fun are key ingredients. And, even if 'Sir Vacharu' gives mixed results then this film should do the needful for our energetic hero.
On the flip side, the pre release business of 'Sir Vacharu' is not so exciting till date and only if teasers of the movie hit tinsel town, the chances will be better.
Coming weekend is going to be a tight fight between the comedy of our aged hot heroine and revenge of our aged six pack star. Both Sridevi and Vikram are going to lock horns this Friday with their 'English Vinglish' and 'Siva Thandavam'. Trade experts are saying that many theatre owners are ready to give scope for Sridevi's show, but are backing off from Vikram's movie. This is because of the Sridevi's popularity factor as star diva, who enthralled Telugu audiences more than a decade. Also, the negative talk surrounding 'Siva Thaandavam' is making theatre owners to shift focus towards Sridevi's flick.
But all movies have to release anyway and Vikram too got equal craze among youths if the senior citizens and forty plus folks are watering their mouths for our aged beauty. Irrespective of this favouritism, let us see who will have a last laugh.
Most heroines arrive at certain point in their career that they don't restrict from doing anything on the screen. The likes of Shriya and presently Tamanna are the best examples. Reports have that another milky siren Hansika is also joining this brigade. For all her recent movies, say Settai in Tamil and Denikaina Ready in Telugu, our milky siren has upped the sex appeal factor. The way she is displaying some erotic expressions on the face and seductively teasing with her tempting glamour, one will definitely feel the tinge. They say that Hansika Motwani is ready for some steamy scenes and French kisses now. Anyway her 'Settai' is a remake of adult comedy 'Delhi Belly' and one can expect some teasing there too. In the same way, Manchu Vishnu's movies are always a dish of excessive oomph by heroines. Let us see what is Hansika having for us in the store. However, Hansika has confirmed a couple of days back that she will not be doing adult content, as her present 'show' is enough to flatter people. Well, to have confidence is okay but only 'hits' will decide what she has to do in future.

Story
Analysis :
Performance :
And now coming back to the Director's role, many scenes in this film look like reminiscents of his previous projects. Like the Russian female fighters in the climax, western villains and the protagonists in female outfits, remind the film goers of the previous stints of the director, provided you are a die-hard fan of the director like me and have watched all his films.
Anyways comedy was not all that peppy. Brahmanandam could not recreate the magic as expected and Ali was misplaced in the whole show. Probably out here, the etching out of their characters was not up to the mark either. The solace was the extra brilliance of the cinematographer. While the director makes Parbhas shake his waists better with his ardent skills as a renowned choreographer. Instead of walking in songs Prabhas has given some moves that shall be remembered for long.
In a nutshell: Rebel is all about how Prabhas transforms from a vagabond son to a powerful Don, out to avenge his father's detractors. If you are looking for some hard core action films, which of course defies logic, then this is the one. Treat for Prabhas fans.
