Kamals next movie after dasavtharam

After Dasavatharam, what’s next on Kamal Haasan’s menu? The actor has started pre-production work on his new film Marmayogi, which he is directing and producing.

It is a big budget extravaganza and he is talking to a few corporates to fund the project. Marmayogi is said to be a historical adventure romantic film with an ‘A’ list of actors. Kamal is trying to rope in a Bollywood actress and the buzz is that Kajol has been sounded about it.

The film will have music by AR Rahman. The rest of the cast and crew are being worked out. It will be the second time that Kamal is using an old MGR title for a film of his. Earlier, he had used the title Sathi Leelavathi (1936), and now the famous MGR starrer Marmayogi (1951). It has tremendous title value, and the modern Kamal film will have three versions in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi.

Mirror mirror: Sneha another aishwarya rai

She may be acting in her first Telugu film but this Aishwarya Rai Bachchan look-alike is making waves in Tollywood already.

No points for guessing, we are talking about Sneha Ullal who is currently working on two films -director Karunakaran's Ullasanga Utsahanga and the Manoj starrer Nenu Meeku Telusa. Sources say that Sneha is the toast of Tollywood these days and no filmi conversation it seems is complete without a line about how much the ravishing actress resembles the famous Aishwarya. Well the comparison must be flattering, surely the actress would like to be remembered for being more than just a look alike!

Shriya hot pose in bikini

After Soha Ali Khan’s hot photo shoot for Maxim cover now it is Shriya’s turn to burn the Maxim cover and hit the headlines with her hot poses in a bikini!

Shriya doesn’t disappoint her fans as she is showing off her hot bod in a very skimpy outfit. Shriya, though known for posing in glamorous outfits this is something different from what she regularly does. Interestingly, Shriya these days is insisting directors from the South to come up with weighty roles that wouldn’t need any skin show. But what she posed for Maxim cameras is completely different from that.

SRKs next heroine !

After acting with Deepika Padukone and catapulting her to stardom, Sharukh Khan is in the news again for his next movie and the new actress cast beside him. Anushka Sharma is the lucky debutant in Aditya Chopras and SRK's "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi". Anushka Sharma is a famous model that has toured the world and won many modeling shows. A sexy and attractive model, this is quite an opportunity for the young lady to display her acting prowess along with sharukh. And as for the king Khan, we can only say he is getting younger by the day.

Pawan's Puli shooting starts from 23rd June.

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 becomes busy again

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.

Neetu had to pierce her belly to look hot?

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.

Will Chiranjeevi go for United Andhra?

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.

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.

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

Colors Swathi in Tamil film

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.

Chiranjeevi party is Labor Party

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

Shriya is hot and getting hotter!

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.

Dasavatharam release postponed to june 13th

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.

NTR looks good and handsome

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.

Dashavatharam to be screened for George Bush.

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.

Genelia is real innocent girl

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.

I’m closest to Reema and Shriya says Trisha

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!"

But after the marriage he stops visiting Amrutha. Knowing this Amrutha's mother calls Kundarika for a meal and serves poison to him and grabs all his wealth. The rest of the movie is how Kundarika turns to Lord Krishna's devotee and get backs to his family....


Highlights

Nandamuri Balakrishna's action in the movie is the top notch. He managed the dual roles of Lord Krishna and Kundarika very well. He adjusted from the woman's man role to devotee role very well. Balakrishna as Lord Krishna made the audience think of Sr.NTR .

Sneha's acting has done a good job as wife of Balakrishna. K.Vishwanth as always stealed the show with his acting. Mohan Babu's guest role is brief but brilliant. Raghavendra Rao's direction showed in the songs. Also he succeeded in showing the movie differently when compared to his previous movies.

The taking second half of the film is simply awesome. Second Half of the movie dominates. Kiravani's tunes added to the movie.


Sidelights:

L.B. Sri Ram as Narada did not fit the role. Bharavi's story is not as effective as his previous ones. The graphic work in the movie is too weak to handle. The story is the first half seems a little bit dragged. There is no much comedy in the movie. The comedy scenes involving Sunil, Ali and Dharmavaram Subramanyam pertained to a few giggles in the audience. Raghavendra Rao's selection of character artists for Lord Krishna's wives did not please the audience.

Bala Krishna Fans will be more than satisfied.

How Shriya growed from tollywood to hollywood?

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. Galatta.com wishes her many more top roles opposite top heroes in many more films!

Mahesh babu fans unhappy

'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.

chiranjeevi party name among these 3?

In all likelihood, Mana Desam will be the name of film star Chiranjeevi’s much-awaited political party. If Chiru camp insiders are to be believed, the mega star will register his party’s name with the Election Commission in about 10 days.

Chiranjeevi had a meeting with his close confidant Allu Aravind, political advisor Mitra and ophthalmologist Prasad Reddy on Tuesday night.

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.
