Priyamani with Jagapathi Again

After 'Pellaina Kothalo' and 'Pravarakhyudu', the combination of Jagapathi Babu and Priyamani is again ready to entertain the audience. The twosome have come together again, for a movie titled 'Sadhyam'. Looks like three films in a short span of time means that the two are a hit pair in Tollywood. If 'Pellaina Kothalo' did well at the box office, 'Pravarakhyudu' released this month is also a commercial success.

Kumar brothers have roped in the hero and heroine for their forthcoming film, directed by Karthikeya Gopalakrishna. The producers say that the film is coming with a distinct story and narrative. Third film in the combination would mean that the director is going to bank on the chemistry Jagapathi and Priya strike on the screen.

The film has completed nearly half of its shoot and the director says that the scenes involving the twosome will be the film's highlight. Tanikella Bharani and Kota Sreenivasa Rao are the seniors playing two key roles here. Keerthi Chawla is playing an important role in the film.

Also, Chinni Cheran is the music director. Shyam Manohar has written the story and screenplay.
If this one becomes a commercial success too, Jagapathi and Priya will have scored a hat-trick.

Girls heroes love to patronise

Seems that some heroines are pretty lucky to be patronised by top heroes. Though the trend is more typical of the Hindi film industry, Tollywood is no stranger to it. In the past, Sameera Reddy became Junior NTR's fav, who was roped in for 'Ashok' and 'Narasimhudu', on the advice of the star. Unluckily for Sameera, most of the films she acted in did not do too well here and she later opted for Bollywood.

Ditto with Mamta Mohandas now, whose name was suggested by Akkineni Nagarjuna for his film 'Kedi'. Mamta earlier acted with the glamorous star in King. Of course, it is also true that the professional actress well deserved the film. Nagarjuna himself praised the actress for displaying professionalism on the sets.

The gossip mills churn the rumour that Priyamani is being promoted by Jagapathi Babu. What could have made them to come to the conclusion? Well, the actress has acted in three movies with the middle-aged actress. 'Pellaina Kothalo', 'Pravarakhyudu' and now, 'Sadhyam'.

In a way, some actresses are fortunate enough to get godfathers in the form of frontline actors.

Shahrukh and bodyguards rescue Asin

Ghajini star Asin Thottumkal had King Khan coming to her rescue when she was caught in a difficult and awkward situation at a Mumbai event recently. Around 300 lewd persons, who posed themselves as the actress' fans, tried to mob around Asin, who was helpless.

Least did they realise that Shah Rukh was also to the event, with his six well-built security guards. In no time, SRK came to the rescue of the Southern actress and helped her wriggle free of the gang of 300.

The timely intervention of SRK and his body guards finally helped her feel relieved. Asin being a popular face, having acted opposite Aamir Khan and Salman Khan in her two Bollywood films, should think of getting out with her own security next time onwards.

Rajini in all praise for Vidya Balan

Superstar Rajinikanth was in all praise for Paa actress Vidya Balan at a preview of the film in Chennai recently. After watching the film in which his one of the favourites acted as a 13-year old, Rajini praised Vidya, who plays Amitabh's mother, saying that she liked her expressions in the film.

The superstar also said that the actress looks like his daughters Soundarya and Aishwarya features-wise. Vidya must be savouring the appreciation from the craziest South Indian star of the day.

The actress, who is already happy that her performance is "fetching the best response since Parineeta," must be thinking of reacting to Rajini's plaudits very soon.

However, Rajini reserved the best compliments for Big B. Calling the way Amitabh has pulled the role "unbelievable," the actor fawningly said the Badshah was the "greatest." He was moved to tears watching the movie, along with his wife Lata and two daughters. Like the rest of us.

Kajal clears the air

Kajal Agarwal’s career graph is moving upward ever since the release of ‘Magadheera’, which had Chiranjeevi’s son Ramcharan Teja in the lead. The new numero uno actress of Tollywood is all set to enter Bollywood too, reports suggested.

Media reports had it that she would repeat her role in the Hindi remake of ‘Magadheera’, in which Hrithik Roshan would replace Ramcharan Teja.

When asked, the actress said, “I have been getting feelers from various quarters about my willingness to take up the project. But I haven't been directly approached by the production house. So I don't want to confirm it.”

Magadheera, directed by S S Rajamouli, is an action extravaganza that travels between two centuries. Kajal’s performance as a princess and a modern girl won accolades. Meanwhile, the pretty actress has signed up ‘Naan Magan Alla’(Tamil) opposite Karthi in Tam

Shedding clothes is no crime: Priyamani

Priyamani is clear about one thing. That is- “One has to be professional when it comes to work.” The actress says she can’t say no when filmmakers ask her to wear skimpy costumes to add glamour to a particular song or scene.

“Acting is my career. I am pursuing it with passion. And I can’t be reluctant to the professional demands of my director. Moreover, there is nothing wrong in wearing a bikini or other skimpy attires, as many of my predecessors have set a trend in it,” she says.

Saying that most actresses ranging from Aishwarya Rai to Bipasha Basu have appeared in a bikini, Priyamani says, “Even yesteryear stars like Saroja Devi and Padmini had acted in contemporary roles.”

The ‘Paruthiveeran’(Tamil) damsel hopes that ‘Sambo Siva Sambo’, the Telugu remake of Tamil hit ‘Naadodigal’ would be an important film in her career. “The role I am playing has no glamour scenes. But nobody is talking about it,” she says.

Apart from ‘Sambo Siva Sambo’, Priyamani is acting in two other Telugu ventures and one Kannada film. “I am open to offers in Tamil too. But the character should be meaty,” she says.

Will Sameera be back in Tollywood

Sameera had once opined that she looks more apt for Tamil and Telugu films than for North Indian ones. However, it turned out that her career did not take a fly even after she got to bag films opposite Chiranjeevi and Junior NTR. She fizzled out later. Jai Chiranjeeva and Narasimhudu, two of the flops she acted it, did not help her to be seen as a lucky mascot in the sentiment-obsessed industry.

Though she went back to do some roles in Tamil and Hindi, she never seemed to return back here. It seems, the time has finally come for her to make a grand comeback. It is in a film opposite the top hero Ravi Teja.

It is known that soon after the release of Shambo Shiva Shambo, the actor will begin shooting for yet another Bellamkonda Suresh movie in January 2010. The film might have Sameera Reddy as the first female lead and Sneha Ullal playing second fiddle.

Though there has been no official confirmation as yet, it seems that the actress' name is under consideration. An official announcement is awaited.

Gouthami to direct KB in a Kamal Production

For a long time Kamal Haasan wanted to make his mentor K. Balachandar a hero. He even had a pucca script ready for his guru. But KB sir wasn’t interested to come in front of the camera when Kamal wanted then. But now the veteran director has started acting and has completed two films ‘Muriyadi’ and ‘Rettai Suzhi’ with the newer generation directors. This has prompted Kamal to renew his request once again to his guru and it seems the director has yielded to his most talented pupil and agreed to act in the film.

Surprises don’t end here. Gouthami who involved herself in the making of all the Kamal films in various capacities from ‘Virumandi’ onwards will direct K Balachandar in the new film. Shruthi Haasan who debuted in ‘Unnaipol Oruvan’ as the music director will strike the chords for this movie also. And also one of Kamal’s favaourite actor Madhavan will do a central role in the film. And Kamal? He will do the script writing. All in the great family and we don’t complain. Whatever it is, the deadly combination of the film will surely to be in the headlines from start to finish.

Asin Says no to zero size

At a time when size zero is becoming a craze among Bollywood heroines, Asin’s answer to a question on slimming down is a big no. “I believe in performance, not size zero,” said the ‘Ghajini’ girl in an interview. “I am comfortable with my looks and I want audience to think me as a girl-next-door. Size zero is an unhealthy trend. I don’t want to pain myself to reduce weight,” the south Indian siren who is making waves in Hindi cinema said.

Claiming that actresses from the south are getting a very good reception in Mumbai, Asin said the reason was their commitment, dedication and honesty. “The respect for south Indians increased especially after the winning of the Oscars by Rahman,” she said. Extending her wishes to Trisha, who too had stepped into Hindi film industry, Asin, when asked about her advice to her colleague, said, “I am not experienced enough to advice someone. But my wishes are always there for Trisha.”

Denying reports that she had been approached for a Vijay film, she said, “No such offer came in my way. But I am always ready to share the screen space with my ‘Pokkiri’(Tamil) pair. Because, Vijay is a nice person to work with.”

Shruthi wants to work with Amit Trivedi

Music is one of the biggest obsessions of Shruthi Haasan. And guess who is her favourite musician? He is Bollywood's most happening music composer Amit Trivedi. Says the elder daughter of Kamal Haasan, "I would love to work with Amit Trivedi. I think he is immensely talented and I loved his music in Dev D".

She adds: "I was very much impressed by his work. Apart from Amit Trivedi, I have been most influenced by musicians like Bob Marley, Tori Amos, The Beatles and Bob Dylan." Shruthi, who is currently busy with a Telugu film opposite Siddharth, will soon be performing in Chennai with the Live Martini band. "Music makes all things beautiful. It is the food of life," she says.

Sridevi's return on the Telugu screen on the anvil?

Junior NTR said in a recent interview that he wishes to work with yesteryear actress Sridevi for a film. His admiration for the actress is unimaginable. Finally, it seems that his wish is all set to come true very soon. If gossip mills are to be believed, the beauty queen in her 40s, is all set to act in NTR's next, to be directed by Meher Ramesh and produced by Ashwini Dutt.

Chances are the actress is mooting to make a comeback with this film. However, it might turn out to be another rumour after her name was flashed in the gossip circles for Pawan Kalyan's 2003 film Johnny too.

Though Sridevi tried her luck at television by acting in a really forgettable soap, she threw no hints in recent times at returning on the big screen.

Happy Christmas, says Asin

Genelia Wishes "Merry Christmas"

Christmas has added more cheer to Genelia. The reason is- After shooting outdoors back-to-back, the actress will be the spending the day with her family. She thanks Santa Claus for helping her joining her family members and friends.

“I have been working without any break. Thank God, I am taking a break from the hectic schedule today to celebrate Christmas with my family. Right from my childhood, I have not missed out a single Christmas with my parents,” she says.

Taking a trip down the memory lane, the actress says, “When I was a child, my brother and me would eagerly wait for the arrival of the Santa Claus to shower us with gifts. As we grew up, we understood that Santa Claus never existed in person.”

“We realised that Christmas and Santa Claus are all about the spirit of spending happiness and creating a positive difference in others’ lives. I am wishing a Merry Christmas to every one,” she concludes.

Cupid is at work. And the victim is Shakila, who says she is in love with an entrepreneur and will marry him soon. “Yes, I am in love. He is a businessman. Our relationship is going strong and we will marry in June 2010. I will reveal more details after getting his permission,” says the actress, who is busy doing cameo and comedy roles in many Tamil films.

Saying that her affection for her mom stopped her from entering wedlock so far, the former uncrowned queen of ‘Malayalam films’ says: “I realised that I am alone only after the demise of my mother six months ago.”

Denying reports that Mammootty and Mohanlal were the reason behind her exit from Malayalam cinema, Shakila says, “it was a wrong impression. My season is over. And hence I have changed my path.”

On her goals, she says, “My image has already undergone a sea change. I would like others to see me a talented actress who could play any role with ease. I am ready for character roles that have enough scope for me.”

Trisha bags role in Kamal's film

Actress Trisha, who is going great guns here in Tollywood, must be very happy these days. The damsel has finally got to act with Kollywood biggie Kamal Hassan, though her previous stint with him, in Marmayogi, never materialized. However, yet another Kamal project has come her way.

It is known that the actor has signed a movie for Stalin, which will be directed by KS Ravikumar. It is learnt that Trisha has been roped in for the role of female lead. This has come as a good news for Trisha, who definitely needs a prestigious project in her kitty right now.

Definitely, the her pairing up with Kamal will be much talked-about. After Akasamantha, she might play yet another performance-oriented role in the film. As details about the film's subject are yet to be known, the character Trisha is getting to play is obviously under wraps.

As every film in the combination of Kamal and KS has been a comedy, it may be guessed that this one belongs to the genre too. In such a case, will Trisha get to play a suspecting wife ala Simran?
