Vijay Mallya’s bevy of bikini-clad beauties in the annual Kingfisher calendar have competition this year — Allu Aravind’s son, Allu Sirish is out with his own calendar featuring a beautiful actress from South Indian cinema for each month of 2010. Ileana, Shriya, Reema Sen, Bindu Madhavi, Kriti, Archana, Mumaith Khan, Nikhita and Madhushalini have all been featured in a limited edition — an exclusive calendar for the first time in Telugu cinema.
Sirish, who plans to distribute it free of cost to a few, says he wanted to publish a calendar with ‘familiar’ faces and so he cast mana Telugu beauties. “I used to follow both Kingfisher and Sports Illustrated calendars, which are very popular. I wanted to come up with something similar, but with known faces. I thought I’d show the glamorous side of actors without vulgarity. It is a limited edition calendar with only 3,000 copies.”
The pictures were shot at Goa and Hyderabad by renowned fashion photographer G. Venkat Ram who shot for promos of movies like Ghajini, Rajnikanth’s blockbuster Shivaji, Boys etc. The ‘calendar girls’ are thrilled with the tasteful photographs and are happy that something like this has come up in the hitherto conservative South.
