The regular shoot of Pawan Lalyan's Puli with director S J Surya will go for regular shoot from 23rd of June. Singamala Ramesh is producing the film. A R Raheman is composing the music for Paawan's film and it is first time combination of Pawan & Raheman.
SJ Surya wanted to rope Raheman for his Kushi with Pawan few years back, but that couldn't materialized due to some reasons.
Pawan is going to play dual roles for the film and one of them will be of a powerful police officer.
Anushka’s living out of her suitcase, as she’s literally zigzagging across the planet for her hectic shooting schedules. Just as she completed a month long shooting in Russia for a yet-to-be-titled film being directed by Uday Shankar, she had to travel to USA. This time for the shooting of Chintakayala Ravi, which stars Venkatesh.
Sources tell us that once she’s back in city, she would be busy with the shooting of yet another film, which stars Gopichand. Here's someone going places, wouldn't you say? Let’s hope her films also go the whole mile on the box office map.
She doesn’t mind being called Sexy Neetu Chandra. And these days she is looking it too, what with a pierced belly button, et al. Says Neetu, “I don’t know where the sexy tag comes from. But I’m happy that it's there. I'd got my belly button pierced a long time back but it was only recently that somebody noticed it and said it looks hot. And that’s when I started showing it off.” And it is a surprise to see her in a sari. Tell her that and she laughs, “Yes, I am basically a very shorts, skirts and T-shirt kind of a person. But once in a while, I do like to don a sari, just to make a new style statement.”
With work keeping her busy 24X7, Neetu says there's no real time for love. “But that question does make me think of many good looking men,” she laughs. So, does she like anybody in the industry? “Oh yes, lots of them – Aamir, Akshay, Shah Rukh, the list is so long,” she adds. Neetu, who is single isn’t ready to mingle. “Marriage is not something that I’m thinking of right now. I’m lucky to have parents who are more chilled out than I am. So, life is sorted,” she says.
The drubbing of Telangana Rashtra Samiti at the hustings has cleared the cloud and has set the platform for film star Chiranjeevi who was looking to take the plunge into politics. Party honchos, however, believe that now Chiru's party can go to the people with Samaikhya Andhra slogan. Though, they had earlier thought of a neutral stand on the Telangana issue, the results are said to have changed their minds.
"We have waited to know the public mood on the sensitive Telangana issue. How can we talk on such crucial issues without understanding the pulse. Now we've got clear idea about what the masses' feeling," said a close aide of the star. But some Telangana sympathisers feel that Chiranjeevi should have a tie up with the TRS to have a formidable combination to fight the polls. But the intelligentsia backing him feels that an alliance with TRS would actually harm the party's prospects in other regions, as the latter is known for its allegations against Andhra people.
With a clear message from the people of Telangana that they are not carried away with the sentiments and still respect political parties, which work for the development, Chiranjeevi's party would announce a crystal clear stand in favour of united state. The party is also finalizing its stand on SC's classification, which has become a major issue between Mala and Madigas. To strike a right balanced chord, party intellectuals are discussing with several SC leaders.
NBK's latest flick Panduranagdu is doing well the domestic box office as well as overseas box office. NBK is very happy with success of this film. It is heard that he has given all the credit to Tabu per her best performance as prostitute in the film.
Tabu played the role of Amritha with erotic skin show and best performance with her talents.
The release of Bujjigadu and Pandurangadu in the space of one week has improved the box office collections considerably. The week on the whole was okay and the coming weeks also look promising in terms of box office collections.
1. Pandurangadu
The film opened on a rather dull note with little hype and poor pre-release publicity. But Balakrishna's brilliant performance, particularly in the second half and his role as lord Krishna are a big draw. The added glamour of Sneha and Tabu and some good music by Keeravani make the film worth watching.
2. Bujjigadu
Bujjigadu made in Chennai opened to a lot of hype and expectations. Prabhas was desperately looking for a big hit. The film's big draw are Prabhas, Puri, Mohan Babu and of course Trisha. Prabhas looks good in his new style and he has also done a great job in the fights and dances.
3. Kantri
NTR's Kanthri has everything new looks for in a NTR film. Director Meher Ramesh unveiled a new look NTR in the film. The action of NTR, Hansika Motwani's charms and Prakash Raj's villainy are the main highlights of the film. It sits in position-3 of the toppers list.
4. Parugu
The Dil Raju and Bommarillu Bhaskar film 'Parugu' starring Allu Arjun and Sheela in the lead roles opened to some mixed talk but slowly picked up. The box office collections are dipping and the film is slowly running out of steam. It sits in position-4 as of now.
5. Jalsa
The Pawan Kalyan starrer Jalsa has completed 50 days run and is running with just average box office collections. The film however broke box office records by collecting 21 crore in the first two weeks of its release. The film now stands at the fifth place.

Among them, Dheerudu was said to have been more or less finalized but now even that is in doubt. None of the 30 odd titles suggested by Rajamouli have found favor with anyone. The search for a suitable title is still on.

Kajal on Ramcharan- 'I say it is my sheer luck to be co-starring Ramcharan. Charan is hard working, highly brilliant and dedicated to his profession to the core. In fact, his eyes pull me a lot and still hunt me. They have all the magic for audiences, they are loaded with powerful expressions'
She shot to fame with her launch in the hit flick ‘Aap Ka Suroor’ opposite Himesh Reshammiya. However, she had already tasted success as a child artist. Just a teenager not touching the eighteen year old category, Hansika Motwani has dreams flying high.
The sexy teenager has bought herself a brand spanking new car, even though she is not legally allowed to drive yet. So, now she is the proud owner of a Honda Civic (we envy) but will have to wait to get behind that tempting wheel. Till then, her driver will escort her around. Not bad again!

Chiru ye Party ki Vote Vesi Vuntadu? This was the SMS question that was given to the viewers by a TV channel, and asked them to respond with answer.
The TV channel has given three options-

2. TRS,
3. Lokasatta.

Surprisingly 25% of the TV channel viewers react in favor of TRS.
Swathi (Colors fame) is now playing lead role in a Tamil film titled Subramanyapuram. After giving 'Color' to the popular TV show with her charm, Swathi appeared in few Telugu movies including one of the lead roles in Danger and supporting role in Adavari Matalaku Ardhale Verule.
Subramanyapuram is a film about a group of friends who don't care for anything. They become problematic in their place. Now a charming girls enters between them and what happens then is the story. The film is directed by M.Sasi Kumar, who earlier worked with directors Bala (Sethu) and Amir (Mounam Pesiyathe). In addition to directing the film, he is also producing it and acting in it.
As reported by a media source, the name of Chiranjeevi's party will be 'Labor Party' and the theme song of the party would be 'Nenu Saitam' from Tagore. The song even got a national award for the content.
Talking to the media today, Allu Aravind said that fans will have to wait for couple of more months and above information is confirmed by him. 'We all waited patiently for so long.. we should wait for couple of more months', said Allu Aravind. There were some pamphlets that read - Leader is Chiranjeevi, Radhasaradhi is Nagendra Babu, Vyuhakartha (strategist) is Allu Aravind, Dalapati is Pawan Kalyan and chief advisor is Mitra.
Harirama Jogayya is one politician, present Congress MP, who is being very vocal about Chiranjeevi's entry. He even publicly announced that if Chiranjeevi established a party, he would join it. Talking to a news media today, Jogayya announced that Chiranjeevi is blessed. 'Even during NTR time, the public did not go to NTR and requested him to start the party. He started the party and people voted for him. Chiranjeevi is in much better situation. He is being requested by the public and fans to come in to the politics and do good to them. He is blessed for that. What else is needed for someone to step into politics'. This he said in response to a question on if Chiranjeevi will have any hurdles.
When asked to compare on Balakrishna's entry, Harirama Jogayya said that there is lot of difference in the approach of the two. 'Chiranjeevi is willing to start his own party. So it is his own party, own mandate. Whereas Balakrishna is taking TDP's side. He is not the CM candidate. He is only canvassing for the CM candidate. So even if he wanted to do good for the society, it will not have the same impact. The comparison would have been different if Balakrishna also wanted to start his own party'.
Jogayya even confirmed that the public seemed to be very vexed with both YSR and CBN and that would be an added bonus if Chiranjeevi setup a party. There are good chances that Chiru party might tie up with Loksatta and left parties. Lok satta party and the leader Jayaprakash Narayana has a clean image and one of the most respectable politicians. Also, it is heard that a large number of leaders from both TDP and Congress would join Chiru's party. If this happens, it will be almost a political revolution in the state.
As per the media sources, party office will be launched on 15th of August and Chiru will start his tour in August. The party will have a mandate of social justice as the main criteria. Rural development and drinking water is any another key point in his mandate. Even there would be a department of anti-corruption in the Government.
All the TV channels have one job today - About Chiru party, running bulletins, gathering feedback etc. Overall, the feedback is very strong and positive. People are expecting him to clean up the mess in the politics and do good to the state. Even though Chiranjeevi himself did not say any word on it, Allu Aravind confirming the strategy excited all the fans and celebrations are taking place through out the state
With an appearance in Mission Istanbul, Shriya Saran is finally being recognized in Bollywood for her flexibility and hard work over the last few years. Her career is now expected to move into the Red Hot Zone.
She started her career with a bang in Santosham in 2002, opposite Nagarjuna. She received her first award in 2005 when she won the Filmfare Best Telugu Actress Award for Chatrapathi. She also won the Best Hindi Female Debut Award for her role as Aaliya in Awaarapan in 2007. However, she really hit the big time with last year's groundbreaking movie Sivaji. Her star status was confirmed when the Hindu Makkal Katchi morality squad reported her to the police for wearing a clinging outfit at the celebrations for the movie.
But Shriya is very flexible and also works well in the English language - she's currently in two movies: What's Cooking and The Other End of the Line, which costars Jesse Metcalfe with whom, rumour has it, she is romantically linked.
How does Shriya feel about acting? "I love to do challenging and performance-oriented films if the offers come my way. I was lucky enough to get such roles quite early. I have proved that I can carry off well both in glamorous and performance-oriented films."
Audiences worldwide can expect to see Shriya featuring in Hindi, Telegu and English films coming their way this year.
Kamal Hassan's much-awaited Dasavataram is officially hitting the screens worldwide with over 1000 prints on June 13th. Previously the flick was scheduled to release on June 6th, which date later got shifted to June 12th. The latest shift by a day is due to delay in the subtitle works meant for languages other than Telugu, Tamil and Hindi, according an official statement. Also a big relief prevails among the film unit with the Chennai court quashing a petition filed by a religious group against the film.
NTRjr was bubbly hero in his Rakhi, but he reduced his weight by 20 kgs by the time of Yamadonga- that story was on request of director SS Rajamouli.
The lean and thin NTR did well in Yamadonga but at the same time his lady fans were disappointed with his thin figure and openly asked him to put on some weight.
But he continued with same weight for Kantri too.
While participating promotional activities of Kantri, NTR's lady fans requested him to put on some weight and as for the their request NTR is put on 5 Kgs of weight now.
Now he looks good and handsome and his fans must be happy with present figure of NTR. His new add on weight is seen on his face when he came to NTR's tomb on 28th May for offering his tributes to his grand father.
With the court clearing the Public Litigation cases against Dasavatharam, the crew is gearing up for a second-week June release. However, another mammoth task in front of the producers is to screen the movie to the US president George Bush. As per latest reports, talks are on with the help of the producers’ US counterparts with Whitehouse officials to arrange for the screening.
It is learnt that since Bush, as the US president, is heading the efforts to make the world’s nations sign the Nuclear Non-proliferation treaty, it would only be apt to screen him the movie that urges that nuclear energy should only be used for constructive purposes and not to cause destruction.
While addressing the media, Genelia said, “People ask me why I continue to do the role of an innocent girl. I feel such roles fit me and I enjoy essaying such characters as it is very close to how I am in my real life”.
To a poser on whether she aims to win awards for her performance, she humbly declines the same and states that she is yet to rise up to that level and at the moment not too keen to feature in such films.
She was also quick to add that it is the acceptance of the people which is very vital and she wishes to concentrate on that segment alone for the time being.
Her innocent smile, natural charm and trendy style has worked magic with the audiences for the last seven years. "My life’s just beginning.
When I started out, I said that for the first few years I’d have fun here. But now, I’m seriously considering acting as a profession. I aim to be successful, famous and a good actor and I’m pretty charged about it," she says.
Trisha means success in Russian; she is probably the only heroine after Sridevi to be successful in Tamil and Telugu. She has withstood pressures, controversies, competition and emerged on top due to her hard work and commitment. This year’s two big summer releases in Tamil (Kuruvi) and Telugu (Bujjigadu - Made in Chennai) featured her in the female lead. In the ad world, she is the hottest model and is brand ambassador for half a dozen consumer items.
Trisha, or Trash as she is affectionately known among her friends, is a big-budget survivor in an industry where top heroines burn out in two years. She came into films after being crowned Miss Chennai and made her debut as heroine in Lesa Lesa. This was followed by a string of superhits like Saamy, Ghillli, Tirupachi and Unakkum Enakkum. She tasted bigger success in Telugu with blockbusters like Nuvvostante Nenoddantana, Varsham, Athudu, Aadavari Matalaku Andhalu Verule, Krishna and other films. Till date, the lass has acted in 28 films- 18 in Tamil and 10 in Telugu.
Her winsome smile, sharp features and an hour-glass figure are her strengths that have taken her to the masses. Trisha is probably the only Tamil girl who has made it big in the last 10 years in an industry full of North Indian and Malayalee girls. Quiz her about her success and survival instincts, the actress shoots back- "It’s a lot of hard work and a bit of luck; one has to be at the right place at the right time." Her hit ratio in Telugu seems far better (75 percent) than in Tamil (50 percent). "I cannot understand why my Telugu films do better than my Tamil ones. It may be because the roles I do in Telugu gave me a lot more scope to perform and they never wasted me. I think Tamil cinema is too hero-centric," says the actress who has won two Filmfare and two State awards for her roles in Telugu films.
She is one actress who loves to experiment with her looks and goes for styling at regular intervals. When she experiments, it generates a lot of attention. When she had a Nemo fish tattoo done just below her left shoulder, it was news. And now, it is the Swarovski crystal on her teeth that is making news.
Trisha says that she has no regrets about doing some films which turned out to be bad at the end. "I don’t regret any movie that I have done. I sign a film more on my gut feeling and sometimes at the end of it, they may not work," she adds.
Trisha is currently working on director Gautham Menon’s Chennayil Oru Mazhaikalam with a bunch of newcomers. She enthuses: "To me, the main attraction of the film was working with Gautham". She informs us that her role in the film is something that she has never attempted before. She is also working on a film titled Sarwam directed by Vishnuvardhan of Billa fame and a film with Radhamohan (titled Abhiyum Nanum) of Mozhi fame.
Controversies have chased this actress at regular intervals. If it was the MMS clips a few years ago, it was her road rage on the ECR and frequent partying that were talked about. But of late, the actress has been keeping an extremely low profile and keeping away from the press. "Controversies are part of stardom but the press tries to blow it out of proportion. At the end of the day, it is my work in films that should speak," she says. About partying, she asks, "What’s wrong in partying? I am a young and independent girl and have never denied that I have a lot of friends with whom I am comfortable. After a hard day’s shoot, I need to unwind and be relaxed. I don’t see anything wrong in it and it’s my private life".
Quiz her about competition and she frowns: "It’s a rat race out here. A new girl comes to the industry every other day. The moment you trip, there’s someone ready to take your place and there’s no room for error". About her recent fall out with Nayanthara, the actress says that she has no issues with anyone. "She has never been my close buddy though we hung around together. I’m closest to Reema and Shriya as we bond well. But, we don’t discuss work. After all, it takes two to tango!"
TFPC, Telugu Film Producers Council has given an advertisement in all leading Telugu News dailies today- asking all the Telugu producers not to utilize the services of Prakash Raj any more in Telugu films.
It informed that a resolution to this extent was inked in this regard at a coordination meeting of the TFPC and Movie Artistes' Association, dated March 19th, 2008 has clarified that he will not be lending any services to the producers who are using the services of Prakash Raj.
Prakash Raj kept out Tollywood in tune with allegations against him.
Verdict: Movie is a 100% hit and works out very well at the box office.
It is long known that Nagarjuna’s son, Naga Chaitanya, will make his debut in a film directed by Puri Jagannath, the specialist in launching star sons.

Many of us fail to recognize the steady growth of actress Shriya's career. Her career path has risen phenomenally and her acting in a Rajinikanth movie can be termed as the pinnacle of her career. The svelte actress has come a long way in Tollywood since her debut, starring opposite Nagarjuna in Santosham, which was a smash hit. She has done leading roles in many big budget films and has been a prolific and much-sought-after heroine in Telugu after that.
She also made sporadic appearances in Hindi. She became a national figure after she acted with Rajinikanth in Sivaji. Now, she has become so busy that she rarely finds time to rest. She has now bagged offers to work in Hindi films such as Ek and Mission Istanbul. In Tamil, she is acting with Vikram in Kanthaswamy. In Telugu, it is being made as Mallanna at the same time.
She is also working in two English movies, What is cooking? and The other end of the line (produced by Ashok Amritraj). Many actresses feared losing prime roles when they were approached for a guest role alongside Vadivelu in Indralogathil Na Azhagappan . But Shriya accepted it immediately. This not only shows her self-confidence but also her admiration for comedy actors. It is commendable for a heroine to gain this quantum of fame in such a short time.

'Prince' Mahesh Babu is one man who has been ruling the roost with his line of successive hits, apart from the film 'Sainikudu' most of his other films rained money at the box office and one can never forget the long lasting impact that 'Pokiri' created not just on the audience but also on the industry as a whole. But there is a flip side to his story.
Mahesh prefers to do only one film a year and the last film that everyone got to see was 'Athidhi' which was a painful movie but made massive collections at the box office. From then on, there is absolutely no news as to when Mahesh's next film will go onto floors.
The latest that we have on him is that his upcoming film has been tentatively titled 'Varudu' which will be directed by Trivikram Srinivas. This has been keeping Mahesh fans in the dark and they are said to be going restless over when the film will hit the floors and when they can see him back on screen. Sadly for them, there is no release for Mahesh this year. Even though the shooting of 'Varudu' starts in June it certainly takes more than 6 months to release.

During the two-hour-long meeting, they are understood to have discussed three names - Jai Chiranjeeva, Eye Party and Mana Desam. The actor preferred Eye Party but divided opinion and fear that it may not go down well with the masses persuaded him to zero in on Mana Desam (our country). The others too felt Mana Desam would be apt.
Sources said unless there were last minute changes, Chiranjeevi's political outfit will be Mana Desam. Finally, it appears the D-Day is not far off.
