Allu Arjun goes to watch Hrithik

|

Allu Arjun sporting a casual look, sans make-up and most importantly, minus any hang-ups went to watch the night show of Jodha Akbar yesterday.

He was spotted at the multiplex with a couple of friends. Given that there was a premiere show of a film happening at the same venue, he quickly ran past the cameramen to quickly get into the theatre without being caught on camera.

Given that Allu Arjun too loves to pump iron and dances wonderfully, we are sure he wanted to check out the well-chiseled look of Hrithik in the film, that is giving sleepless nights to scores of women across the world. Wise move, ain’t it?

We couldn’t help wonder if Tarun was paid or it was just an impromptu performance by Tarun at the reception of S Gopal Reddy’s daughter.

There was a special programme by Devirsri Prasad and Prabhu Deva on the occasion. But it was Tarun too who appeared in the pictures dancing to Prabhu Deva’s tunes.

So will be the first Tollywood hero to dance at weddings? After all, their Bollywood counterparts are paid a bomb for their performances.

Let’s wait and watch.

Family is Sonali Bendre’s first priority

Remember Sonali Bendre? She has been playing her part as the daughter in law to perfection. The gal proved that she’s not only beautiful, but also golden hearted, when it comes to her family. Recently, she’d promised to meet some of her friends after a long time and was planning an afternoon outing. But suddenly it was decided that the family was to go shopping.

So she dropped everything else and went along with mom-in-law, and that was how we spotted her – looking gorgeous as ever and shopping as if there were no tomorrow. Well, like they say, a woman must know how to shuffle her various roles and also multi-task. And Sonali seems to be doing just that.

Jalsa gets ready for success

Pawan Kalyan’s Jalsa is the most waited film now. Everyone is waiting for the film.

Dasari Narayana Rao’s son Taraka Prabhu, who was kidnapped on Tuesday, appeared at his residence in Chennai on Wednesday. He alleged that his wife, Suseela had engineered the kidnap to get his property. He also claimed that he had escaped from his kidnappers and had reached Chennai in a bus. In an interview to a private channel, Prabhu said that his wife forced him to consume alcohol after summoning him to Chittoor and made him stay in the lodge for two days. He added that he would file a case against her in Hyderabad and would also approach the court for divorce.

Meanwhile, Suseela denied her husband’s allegation while speaking to reporters at Chittoor on Wednesday. She alleged that he was being pressured by his kidnappers to make such statements. “Why should I opt for kidnapping him when I want to live with him?” she asked. “I am not interested in his property and only want to live with him.” Suseela said her father-in-law, Dasari Narayana Rao, had offered crores of rupees to her to part with Prabhu but she refused the offer since she wanted to be with him.

Ramgopal Varma flooded with awards

|


Ram Gopal Varma finally won awards for box-office duds Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag and Nishabd. But he won't be thrilled about it. Varma and several other celebrities were honoured with the Bajaate Raho awards, hosted by a radio station, at a ceremony late on Monday. Unlike Hollywood's Razzies, which poke fun at the Academy Awards, these awards take a dig at Bollywood, cricket and just about anything that hogged headlines. Not surprisingly, the "winners" don't show up to accept their awards.
Varma had drawn flak for Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag, his ambitious remake of the 1975 film Sholay, which nose-dived at the box-office. The film won him a red boxing glove trophy in the 'Most hyped film before release' category. The filmmaker also earned the 'Bravery' award for daring to make Nishabd, which has a storyline similar to the 1955 novel Lolita. Lead actor Amitabh Bachchan had also been nominated in the category for playing a man obsessed with his daughter's friend.

Other faces of Sameera Reddy

|


There’s more to Sameera Reddy than what meets the eye. That other stuff includes the fact that she’s a trained classical dancer, a business buff, a techno freak and a former-fat kid. “Oh yes, I was a chubby kid. But it was a jyotishi who told me that I would be an actress. I was around 14 or 15 years old then, and it made my father laugh. But I did it!” says Sameera with a grin. That business bit? “Oh, I’m a business freak!” Sameera laughs. “I’d much rather figure out what stocks are hot or which shares to pick up than read gossip about filmstars. If I’m good enough to be a brand on my own, why not exploit it?”

Being ultra-glam – does that worry her? “I love being called hot. It’s made me what I am. But there’s this pressure to be glamorous all the time,” she says. “It’s killing. One bad day and they rip you apart. The sort of pictures of me that are published and the sort of things that are written – it used to worry my father till some time ago. But when I was on vacation with my family a few times, and there was gossip that I was elsewhere, that’s when he began to be reassured that most of it was concocted.”

Vishal is comfortable with only action

|

Vishal did just few films but already boasts of three smash hits in Tamil and Telugu- Pandem Kodi, Pogaru and Bhayya. In quick time, Vishal, son of producer GK Reddy, has become a name to reckon with in the Tamil and Telugu film industry. His new film called Satyam is incidentally being simultaneously shot in Telugu as well, all his earlier movies having hitherto only been dubbed into Telugu. “I play a cop in the film and this would be my first attempt at portraying a police officer,” says the actor, explaining that his new, lean and mean look is especially for this film.
Satyam will see the actor pair up with Nayantara, while Kannada superstar Upendra adds to the star cast as the villain. Vishal, who began his career with a flop romantic flick Prema Chadarangam, switched gears in his next two films, Pandem Kodi and Pogaru, which incidentally were home productions, and donned the action cap. Was it a conscious decision to create an action hero image? “Not exactly. Pandemkodi and Pogaru weren’t just action flicks; they just had all elements required for a commercial movie. Post these two films, people have been convinced that I can do action successfully. But yes, I have trained in Taekwondo for some time, so am comfortable doing action,” says the actor, who’s fascinated with Korean films.

Sameera takes up Andhra issue

Sameera Reddy is all set to play a Naxalite in her next film Red Alert. “It is inspired by a true story that appeared in newspapers. Red Alert talks on the issue of Naxalites. It is not just limited to India but it’s a global issue.” says director Anant Mahadevan. It is believed that Sameera who plays a role of a Naxalite is doing a lot of research. She has also read a biography of dreaded terrorist Osama Bin Laden. She confirms, “Yes I have read Osama Bin Laden’s biography. But coming back to the Naxal problem, there are always two sides to a Naxalite. It explains how and why a person becomes a Naxalite.” Sameera has a reason for doing this film.
She reveals “I am also from Andhra Pradesh where the naxalite attacks are a common occurrence. Everyday you will here about such happenings there. It’s a very big problem. I already know about the issue, so I am very happy that someone from Bollywood is actually making a film on it.” Red Alert will have an international version, which has been titled as Spring Thunder for the overseas market. Sameera will be seen in very different get-ups.” Red Alert will commence in April end.

Siddartha is ready to play a gay

Siddhartha says he is ready to play a gay role because he feels sexual orientation is a natural and personal choice. "I have close friends who are gay, and they are as intelligent and caring, if not more, than my heterosexual friends. I think it's time we started respecting them and giving them their much-deserved freedom to just be themselves," said Siddharth.
“I choose films based on my convictions, and take my association with them very seriously,” he added. “I think we are a homophobic country and I believe the media's insensitive sensationalisation of the issue is largely responsible for this. As an actor I play roles based on reality. Sexual orientation is a natural and personal choice. I see no reason for it to affect my decision to accept a project,” said Siddhartha

Court dismisses case against Pawan Kalyan

|

The Chief Metropolitan Court of Vizag struck down the case against Pawan Kalyan, much to his relief and that of his immediate family and fans. It is a known fact that Pawan Kalyan's wife Nandini had filed a case against him for marrying Renu Desai, while being married to her. She had also filed another case against Chiranjeevi and his family, citing harassment by in-laws.

Apparently, the team of police officials who had been sent to Hyderabad to gather evidence against Pawan Kalyan failed to secure any firm evidence to prove that he was indeed married to Renu Desai. So, the court promptly struck down the case due to lack of evidence.

Recently, Pawan Kalyan had admitted to being in a live-in relationship with Renu Desai, after being separated from his wife Nandini. The couple also have a son.

However, the case against Pawan Kalyan seeking alimony by Nandini and the case by Pawan Kalyan seeking divorce from Nandini are still pending

The news on ‘Robot’ that came out last week saying that the shooting of the movie was started was partially true. There was a shoot but it was not for the film. It was just the extravagant photo session featuring Rajini and Rajini alone.

The title of his current film with Bommarillu Bhaskar is not yet confirmed. But tinsel ville is agog with rumours that Allu Arjun's next film could be called 'Chandrapratap'.

This one has Tamanna, who was seen in 'Happy Days', playing his love interest. We think it sounds a bit like a historical title to us.

But given the current trend of keeping the actual title under wraps till the release date, it will not be surprising, if the makers came up something more catchy by the time the film goes on the floors.

Gopichand feels she is one girl who could have a long innings out here. Now isn't that something coming from a co-star of one film?

We wonder what Bhavana has to say about Gopichand after all this. Once we get her to give a byte on that, we will give the news to you ASAP.

But Aswini Dutt's offer was too irresistible for her and she decided to do 'Kantri' opposite NTR. Now, the light-eyed beauty says she will take that one chance, before she goes back to Bollywood.

Nagarjuna, who is believed to have visited the temple to fulfill his mokku for the success of his last release Don, offered prayers to the lord in the early hours of the day and left immediately there after.


Vijaya Santhi vs Chandrababu Naidu

Mandha Krishna Madiga organized a Dharna at Indira Park, demanding welfare schemes for handicapped people of the state. Chandra Babu Naidu and Vijayasanthi (Talli Telangana Chief) were invited to support the demands of handicapped. There was hot & hot verbal exchange between Vijayasanthi & Chandra Babu. Vijayasanthi’s question was- ‘Ok, YSR couldn’t do anything for handicapped, but at the same time Chandrababu should disclose what he did in his 9 years rule’.

Chandrababu answered Vijayasanthi’s question by repeating the schemes that were introduced by him during his rule. But Vijayasanthi denied Chandrababu’s schemes and she quoted the fluoride affected area of Nalgonda. Chandrababu said ‘ Vijayasdanthi gaaru, did you see my schemes at that time?’ When the verbal war is going on- the entire Dharna was turned out to be Telangana meeting. Mandha Krishna Madiga who organized this Dharna expressed his sadness with the behavior of political leaders.

Is Manoj doing '50 First Dates'?

We are not playing spoil sport by disclosing the film’s plot, but then we cannot help but find too many similarities with certain films. So, naturally, we are trying to put two and two together.

First, 'Nenu Meeku Telusa' looked like it was inspired by 'Memento', now looks like it is inspired by Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore-starrer '50 First Dates'.

But the film’s director Ajay Sastri is mighty thrilled. He says it is better to keep the audience guessing. Now, Manoj get to romance two girls on screen – Sneha Ulhas and Riya Sen. The Bong beauty’s name was under wraps till she was spotted in the city.

The film’s first schedule has been completed in a special set erected for the film in Madhapur.

The second schedule will begin soon, says Sastri. The music would be the highlight of the film, he says. Achun, another debutant will be composing the music for the film.

Mamata’s weight dilemma

View Mamta Mohandas Gallery

Acting in multiple productions is no less than doing a trapeze act. If it is a singer-cum-actress like Mamata Mohandas, then there bound to be many more complications.

For starters, date adjustment would be a huge issue, what with all producers wanting to complete their film at the earliest. Poor Mamata was caught in a tricky situation recently.

She was recently seen in Krishnarjuna opposite Vishnu. Apparently, director P Vasu was after her to put on some weight to make a good screen couple with Vishnu. On the other hand, she was shooting for another film where the hero is lanky.

So, the makers of that film insisted she shed weight to look right for the hero. Now, poor Mamata had to put on and shed off weight simultaneously.

Now doesn’t that sound nightmarish?

Mahesh Babu is likely to appear in a novel six-pack get up, as that was the current trend. The Prince is reportedly doing physical exercises very hard for the purpose. There is a big dilemma among the fans of Mahesh Babu whether their hero's next film would hit screen in 2008 or not. Last year, Mahesh Babu's film Athidi was released but failed to reach the expectations. Hence the Mahesh Babu-Trivikram combo might begin only after summer.

He is expected to play hero in Trivikram Srinivas' direction. However, the director is presently busy with Jalsaa and that movie is set for release in summer.

The fans of Mahesh Babu are debating whether the director could complete the film before the end of 2008. Varudu is the title under consideration of the movie. However, the sources in the film industry say, the director and hero are committed to complete the film in time.
