Lagadapati: 'I Won't Leave That Director'

The noted producer Lagadapati Sridhar is one man who has often been known for his penchant towards experimental cinema and encouraging fresh talent. This time, his eyes seem to be set on another talented director and he is none other than Chandra Siddartha.

Chandra Siddartha is the man behind movie like ‘Aa Naluguru’ and Lagadapati was heard saying that it is not often one gets to see a director who makes movies on strong human values and shares them in real life as well. So he has decided that one project should be made with Chandra Siddartha at any cost.

This thought was shared by Lagadapati to some of his close circles and those who heard it say that this is indeed a worthy combination. For now, Chandra Siddartha is arriving with ‘Andari Bandhuvaya’ while Lagadapati is gearing up with the much awaited movie ‘Sneha Geetham’.

Manchu Manoj who is known for his variety performances has now arrived with yet another venture and this time, it is said to be another offbeat love venture. How different was it and whether Manoj is able to make a mark or not, let us see

Story
Set on the backdrop of Chittoor, there is a political/faction feud between Seshadri Naidu (Jayaprakash) and Mahendra Naidu (Ahuti Prasad). It gets violent so Mahendra Naidu gets all his relatives under his home so that they are not harmed.

They call Ajay (Manoj) as well but none of them like him due to a flashback of his father. Ajay meets Girija (Sheena), his ‘maradhalu’ and love sparkles.

Meanwhile, things get into further complications between both Naidus so Ajay decides it is time to resolve this.

How does he do that and whether he is successful or not forms the rest of the story…

Performances:
Manchu Manoj:
He is the life and soul of the movie. With an energetic performance, he did his bit but then his face looks exhausted and drained. Imitation of his father Mohan Babu was deliberately evident.

Sheena:
She has a sweet face and is fresh. Though she has an oomph filled body, it is her baby face that takes away the attention and she provided the required visual feast in songs and did her bit well for a debut attempt.

Ahuti Prasad:
Not much for him in terms of performance and he could carry it off easily without a hitch.

Jayaprakash Reddy:
He must have done this kind of role a hundred times by now so not much for him as well. Instead, there is no regular comedy from him that is usually his trademark in villainy.

Others:
Raghu Babu, Brahmanandam gave their share of laughs, Sunil was okay, Subbaraju and Supreeth did their bit as required. Paruchuri Venkateswara Rao was brief, the man doing Ahuti Prasad’s brother’s character has a strong screen presence, Banerjee, Kasi Vishwanath, master Bharath, Vennela Kishore, Telangana Sakunthala and the rest of them breezed in and out.

Interesting Dialogues/ Scenes:

• Manoj (with heroine): ‘Naaku rendu vishayalante chaala ishtam. Okati nuvvu…inkoti scenes lu kattirinchani englisu cinema..” (this dialogue has got huge response in theater)
• MS Narayana (as Muslim peer): pillavaadidi ekkada undi?

Sunil: pillavaadi daggare undandi (this also has got situational pun and brought loud laughs)

• Manoj’s action scenes are impressive
• The fight scene composed at water point is technically strong and emotionally in depth that pulled the attention of audiences strongly.
• Master Bharat’s performance
• Vennela Kishore did well but his role could have got extended

Analysis:
The movie takes off on a mediocre tone and runs pretty average in first half. The hook is not established with clarity till the interval. The momentum picks up in second half and the real comedy starts driving the narration. MS Narayana’s episode pumps in some comedy and the eventual flow goes with inspiration of films like Ready, Dhee etc.

The attempt to make a hilarious action entertainer is laudable but the execution part has suffered some ups and downs with screenplay. The dialogues are also not up to the conviction (especially the Brahmin Villain’s dialogues in climax has got no clarity and the language has gone out of bound suddenly) and at times failed to grip the interest levels of audiences.

This bumpy ride comes to an end with first half and second half takes to the climax smoothly.

On a whole, it’s a movie for audiences those come to theaters without any expectations.

Bottom Line: For Front Benchers

No kisses for Katrina!

In all her films so far, Katrina Kaif has kissed only once, in Kabir Khan’s New York. She decided she wasn’t too comfortable doing it, and told a close friend that she had decided never do another kissing sequence again.

Katrina has now decided to make it official. She won’t do a kissing sequence, even if the producer-director uses the oldest trick to persuade her: the script demanded it.

Says a friend of the actress, “Katrina has said no to kissing scenes in all her films barring New York. And believe me, the directors are very keen to see her kiss her co-stars. Katrina cleverly keeps dodging all the so-called must-kiss scenes. She is a very conservative girl at heart. In fact, when reports claimed that she was going to wear a bikini in Dostana 2, a la Priyanka Chopra in the first Dostana, Katrina protested violently and made it clear to producer Karan Johar and director Tarun Mansukhani: no exposure, no kissing.”

Says Katrina, “I don’t deny I’ve done scenes in the past where I did things that I wasn’t comfortable with. But now I won’t. I just don’t feel comfortable doing kissing scenes, or for that matter, wearing a bikini on screen.”

In both, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani and Raajneeti, there was apparently a request for a kiss with Ranbir Kapoor.

Katrina said a polite but firm no.

Says a source, “All the intimate scenes in Raajneeti are between Ranbir and his American girlfriend played by Sarah Thompson. They have lingering lovemaking and kissing shots. In the Indian portion of Ranbir’s story, there’s no intimacy with Katrina. She convinced the director that the character of the dignified politician would not go down well with the audience doing intimate scenes.”

Katrina is quite firm as she says, “It’s true. I’m not at all comfortable doing kissing scenes. Call me a prude or conservative. I just don’t feel kissing scenes jell well with our audiences. So no kissing scen

Heroine Leaks Her 'Experience' With Charan

She is a new kid on the block in the Bollywood circuit and even before she has found her footing, she has been roped in for a Telugu movie. The leading man for her happens to be our mega powerstar Ramcharan Teja and as expected, she has got few things to reveal about him.

Her name is Shahzahn Padamsee and she is working under the guidance of director Karunakaran. Sharing her thoughts about Charan, Shahzahn said that it was really fun working with him. She also added that though he is a big star, Charan was a chill pill and the experience was wonderful.

The other beauty to share the hero is the bubbly beauty Genelia and Shahzahn said that the reason for her taking up this assignment was she has heard a lot about the professionalism of the southern film circuit and now that she has wrapped up a schedule, she got a real feel of it.

Asin's Father Suspecting Her??

It is often said that the hot Malayalam beauty Asin is a rather reserved and a bit headstrong girl when it comes to work. True to her nature, she is often tough to get friendly. However, that seems to be far from convincing for her father Joseph Thottumkal who has got an eagle eye over his daughter and her movements.

Recently, Asin moved out of her parents home by buying a flat in a nearby posh locality but now, her father Joseph has taken another flat just above Asin’s flat. Sources say that he feels his daughter is too naïve for this big bad world and that’s why she needs his protection.

Well, those who are close to Asin say that this babe finds it a bit intruding to see her papa hovering around her all the time. And they also vouch that Asin is definitely not a bimbo but a girl who is much smarter than the rest of the Bollywood beauties. Hope papa Joseph is reading this one…

Mahesh Babu’s Retirement?

Speaking about superstars and who could be the possible contender for the throne of Tollywood, the name of prince Mahesh Babu has often been heard in the list of hot favorites. However, all that looks to be fading now as some say that he might be dropping the towel soon.

Apparently, Mahesh is nearing his mid thirties already and yet he is seen with one film in 2-3 years. He is touching 40 in another 5 years. Sources say that he is not very keen on movies and doesn’t have to work so hard since there are enough properties and wealth for him that he just has to sit at home and take care of them.

Though Mahesh has got a solid track record at the box office, it is his laid back nature towards doing movies that has reduced his following. It is also said that it wont be a surprise to see Mahesh announcing his retirement soon if he continues in this way. Let us wait and see if prince will prove his critics wrong or not.

Tamannah 'Reveals' Her…

The milky white beauty Tamannah was sharing her thoughts recently when she revealed that she is eagerly waiting to pair up with Allu Arjun for her next movie in Telugu. Reason is the good dancer that Bunny is and she wants to match up with him on the dance floor. The pretty girl also maintained that she is going to dub for her Telugu movies going forward.

Her recent venture in Tamil was a super hit and she got accolades for her act but Tammu said that she was under pressure since it was a Bollywood remake which had Kareena Kapoor in it. Right now, she is doing the Tamil remake of the Telugu blockbuster ‘Kick’ and though she admires Ileana, she wants to come up with an original performance, she states.

On her personal front, Tamannah is doing her BA and adds that her parents keep her grounded at all times and they are her support system. Her kitty is full with Tamil and Telugu flicks so Bollywood is going to be kept aside for a while. That’s Tamannah for you folks…

Siddarth's Loafer Behavior Shocks Family!!!

The southern stud Siddarth has often been known as the ladies man and even his roles have been quite elegant and sophisticated. But lately, his family members have been quite upset about his behavior and especially his language has been causing them a shock.

Apparently, Siddarth has been learning the ‘Tapori’ kind of language for his role in the latest Bollywood release ‘Striker’ which is hitting the screens tomorrow. Though it was easy for him to switch from his smooth language to the rough language, he is unable to get it back to the normal path again.

Sidz says that he is so much into the character that he has been showing the same traits even at home. Recently, Sidz mom is said to have admonished him for using such language and warned him to change that soon. Let us see where this leads to now…

Photo Feature: 'Striking' Pose Hot Hot

This is the hottest lady Padmapriya who is emerging from south. She is appearing in Striker with Siddarth. She is also planning to shift to Mumbai Bandra, for making her career in Bollywood strong. Padmapriya is already the darling of many hearts and some are saying that she is going to be another Vidya Balan from south.

'South Scope Calendar' Rs 400 + Free Subscription

It is known news that the South Scope calendar has created quite a sizzle across the southern circuit and things got even better when the New Year calendar was launched by the magazine. Now, the management has come up with a tempting offer which is causing a wave.

Some of the noted places like Walden, Landmark etc have now got this new scheme wherein one has to pay Rs 400 for the calendar and they will get a packet. This contains a coupon along with the calendar. One has to fill it with details such as name and address and put it in the drop box.

From then on, the South Scope magazine will come free to your address without any cost and that too for one full year. This scheme has got a very good demand from the people and they are taking this up in large numbers. Sources say that this idea was given by the founder Allu Sirish.

Beware Of Lux Papa Sex Video

The very mention of the word ‘Lux Papa’ would transport you into the arms of the highly seductive Asha Saini. So anything from her would mean heaven for most of the men. However, here is a warning that is in your best interest and this has to do with your computer systems.

It seems that currently an Email has been making rounds along with an attachment, this has got the subject as ‘Lux Papa Sex video’. If you think that’s a special offer from Asha then you are wrong. But if you still go ahead and download, then remember that it is a very strong virus.

Filled with a Trojan worm, it is heard that the hard disk will crash if you download it and this becomes irreparable. Many have reported receiving this email and ending up throwing away their computers due to this. So if you think about sex, remember that your system will get shut.

Shruti Dumped, Rushes Back To Mumbai

The seductive beauty Shruti Haasan was welcomed with great expectations since she happens to be the talented daughter of the iconic Kamal Haasan. But then the Kollywood folks seem to have lost interest in her soon since she was unable to deliver success with her Bollywood debut.

So, it is said that Kollywood has not been showing interest in roping her for any future projects. But then Shruti is said to be unfazed by it and has gone back to Mumbai. It is heard that she is seriously on a house hunt in Mumbai so that she can build her nest and settle there.

Given her strength in music composition, arts and other fields, the pretty girl is positive that she will make her mark soon. For now, the Telugu circuit has been quite warm to Shruti just like they were to her father. So it remains to be seen if she can shine here or not.

Reel Talk: Sneha About 'Sexy Walk'!

Sneha’s style of walking has changed! Why’s that, we asked her recently. “I had to walk differently for Bhavani, which has me playing a cop,” she explained, “Once shoot for the film got over, I realised that I had adapted the same walking style in real life too!” As it was the first time that she was donning the khaki, the Punnagai Ilavarasi had to ensure that her style matched that of a cop. When quizzed if there was any Hollywood inspiration for the role, she replied in the negative and said, “But yes, I wish I can carry myself like a Hollywood heroine someday!”

Ram Charan’s Check To Jr NTR

Off late, the talk of the town seems to be young tiger NTR junior. His recent release ‘Adhurs’ has been declared hit and with the news of his marriage making rounds, junior sure seems to be on high popularity graphs. However, all this is going to be temporary say a few. The reason for that happens to be the mega powerstar Ramcharan Teja. An opinion is being expressed that Charan will overtake junior in many aspects. As it is, Charan has reached superstardom in just his second movie while it took few movies for junior to do the same. It is also being said that Charan has got a strong following among the girls along with the masses while NTR is more of a mass icon and pleases the front benchers big time. But the more practical group says that it all depends on their forthcoming ventures and their performances at the box office. On whole, Ram Charan gives toughest and only competition to Jr NTR.

Balakrishna's 'Private Dance' In Pub

Yuvaratna Nandamuri Balakrishna is one man who is known for his independent and individual nature. Meaning, he does what he wants and doesn’t really get conscious of how others would perceive it. In a way, he has a very open nature just like any other face in the crowd.

True to his personality, he was seen shaking a leg at a joint recently. This was the famous ‘Touch’ pub and Balayya was accompanied by Kodali Nani, actor Subbaraju, Vallabhaneni Vamsi and others. It is heard that they got together to catch up with things and have a good time.

In no time, Balayya has reportedly got into the mood after having few rounds and he was seen shaking his leg on the dance floor. While those around stood miles away seeing ‘Samarasimha Reddy’ dancing, Balayya’s group could not help but feel proud that even at this age, Balayya has not lost that fire in him.

'Andari Bandhuvaya' Audio Review: Good!!

Sharwanand is now arriving with his new venture and this time, he is pairing up with the dusky seductress Padmapriya. The audio release happened in a grand way and here is a look at how the songs are.

Mallee Malle Rammanee
A romantic melody, this duet has been sung by the duo of Deepti Madhuri and Anoop Rubens. A good blend of traditional and western instruments has been used by Anoop to create a tender effect. Lyricist Chaitanya Prasad has kept the words simple without any complicated poetry and this will appeal to the youth in a positive way.

Roju Roju Ninne
An unusual song which has got a tinge of Tamil melody, this is a fast paced number and the voices have been rendered by the trio of Anoop Rubens, Deepti Madhuri, Sravani. The background score is constant and it is more of a techno beat. This is a vocal dominated song and Chaitanya Prasad has again come up with simple lyrics to get the essence right. This is more like a dance number…

Jigi Bigi Chilakaa
This is a peppy song with a folk beat background and the group to render their voices for this song is Karunya, Pranavi, Dileep, Noel. The chorus is interesting and Anoop has given a constant stream of music and added the folk instruments wherever necessary. The inclusion of rap lyrics is a contrast to this song though. Chaitanya Prasad has stitched his words well with the mood of the song.

Soorydu Aevarayya
This is the title song and it is a melody song which can also be considered the highlight of the album. The strength of this lies in the lyrics and Chaitanya Prasad has given a sensible feel to his words with a strong message. The mention of Jesus, Socrates, Gandhiji and the symbolism of Sun and Moon is worthy. The group of Amruthavarshini, Anoop Rubens, Sravani, Jai Srinivas, Aishwarya infused a good emotion into the song. Overall, this will be a hit song.

Jaama Chettuki Jaama Kaayalu
This is another highlight song and it is a different mix. More than the song, it is the dialogues in between that add a flavor. The beat is a folk based mass number and the voices have been rendered by the duo of Sharwanand, Padmapriya. The chorus has contributed well to the lead singers. Anoop from his end has given a spirited tone to this one and this will appeal to the masses. Chaitanya Prasad speaks logic in this one with his words.

Malle Mallee Rammanee (Male)
This is a solo to the romantic version and this time, the voice has been given by Anoop Rubens and he has also given a similar tune just like the duet. The usage of guitar along with western beats has given it a fresh appeal and Chaitanya Prasad just tweaked the lyrics to add taste to romance. The background score was constant and this goes at a steady pace.

Nandaamaya
This is another folk beat number with a divine touch and revolves around Lord Krishna. A lot of energy and spirit is there in this one and the feel of it is traditional though the vocals are quite high pitched. However, the music has not been that impressive from Anoop this time and it was a bit aloof. The voices have been given by Sravana Bhargavi, Sriram, Bhargavi and lyrics by Chaitanya Prasad provide an insight to lord Krishna through his words.

Overall, the songs in the movie are based on melody and folk beats. The lyrics are not that strong but two songs such as the title song and ‘Jaama Chettuki…’ will strike a chord. Even the starting duet is worthy to mention. Anoop has taken a soft stand this time on his tunes rather than coming up with his rugged beats. The album will appeal to the youth and melody lovers.

Devi Sri Prasad Bounces Back With Ravi Teja

The super talented Devisri Prasad is one man who has been coming up with compositions for the big heroes but this time, he has not been able to prove his brilliance that well. This was seen in his latest movie ‘Namo Venkatesa’ where the songs haven’t got the aura that Devi Sri’s songs carry.

Now, it is heard that Devisri has decided to come back with a bang and he will show his material in the new movie ‘Veera’ which has crazy star Ravi Teja in it. The buzz is that Devisri is determined to prove his music magic and ensure that ‘Veera’ will have chartbuster songs.

‘Veera’ is directed by Ramesh Varma of ‘Ride’ fame while the noted NRI Ganesh Indukuri who made ‘Pravarakhyudu’ recently is the producer. Though Devisri is making his presence felt with one or two catchy songs in his movies, many say that he has enough talent and potential to ensure complete audio album rocks. Let us see what he does with ‘Veera’ then.

Siddarth Injured Badly In Shooting!!

The southern stud Siddarth who has been known for her lover boy image is lately getting into some rough and tough image. Well, true to his change, he has to face few consequences as well. News has arrived that Siddarth has met with a accident during the shooting of his new movie.

This happened at Vizag and it is heard that Sidz was canning an action sequence when the incident occurred. Sharing his thoughts, the hero said that he was awake for the past 24 hours and has been shooting round the clock. He quipped that he is not feeling the pain anymore.

He also maintained that southern circuit is where his heart is and though he has got Bollywood projects in the pipeline, he would stick to the Telugu circuit as his main line of acting. Sidz is arriving with ‘Striker’ in Bollywood so let us wish him a speedy recovery and success at the box office.

Comedian Sunil faces Telangana ire

After Allu Arjun, Manchu Vishnu, Mahesh Babu, Jr NTR and Roja, it is now the turn of comedian Sunil to face the wrath of pro-Telangana activists.

The Telangana supporters stalled the shooting of Sunil’s forthcoming film Maryadaramanna taking place at Vikarabad railway station on Tuesday. Raising Jai Telangana slogans, hundreds of Telangana workers stormed the railway station and gheraoed the actor and the film unit.

Sunil, who hails from West Godavari district, got upset and left the place, cancelling the shooting schedule. One wonders whether there would be any more shootings in Hyderabad and rest of Telangana.

Reel Talk: Doubtful Talk On 'Kedi'

It is known news that ‘King’ Nagarjuna is all set to arrive with his new venture ‘Kedi’ and the makers have announced that this is going to be a Sivaratri release ie 12th of this month. As usual, the inside talk has begun to emerge but then it appears that there is disappointment in store.

Inside birdies say that the film is not that impressive and ‘Kedi’ might bite the dust. However, it happened several times that the inside talk is negative and once the reverse formula works once the film hits the screen. The brand value of Nag and the sex appeal of Mamatha are two things to consider here.

On the flip side, the genre of the film is unusual, the director is a new kid on the block and Nag will face stiff competition from ‘Leader’ which is hitting just the day before. The audio is out but it has got a mixed response so all eyes are now on the film when it takes the litmus test.

Shweta Basu's Problem With 'Sizes'

The giggly beauty Shweta Basu Prasad is quite a busy girl in Tollywood with her constant movie assignments. However, though she has been on her toes, things are said to be getting a bit tricky for the costume designers when it comes to stitching outfits for this pretty girl.

It is heard that Shweta has been getting into different sizes from time to time and sometimes she is putting on weight and sometimes cutting down. This was revealed by a few who have worked in the project ‘Kalavar King’ which is all set for release. The costume designers took her measurements first and by the time they came out with dresses stitched they were found to be tight for her.

Shweta from her end is said to be working ways to keep out of trouble due to different sizes. Let us hope this new situation sorts out quickly and Shweta fits in everywhere.

Photo Feature: Shocking Bikini Of Sexy Aunty

This is more dangerous than RDX. Yes, it’s ‘Reveling and Damaging Xposing’. Kasmira Shah is the sex bomb who is ruling the zone below the navel of every men with her mere pose in bikini. She has been serving as moving Viagra for many men those are suffering from erectile dysfunction. She has been the best medicine to be prescribed by sexologists around the nation. This new bikini design on her body has signed an erotic autograph on the senses of every man for sure.

Photo Feature: Ex-Heroine's Daughter Enjoying WINE

The wine culture seems to have picked up quite strongly among the ladies of today and it has become more a custom that most of these originate from the film industry. Things get interesting when the actresses happen to hail from a noted background.

So here is Sheena who is better known as the daughter of the yesteryears Bollywood diva Sadhana. The bright eyed beauty has no qualms in flashing her glass of sparkling wine and more than that, it is intoxicating to see Sheena’s deep navel with cute curves on her hips.

Sheena is making her debut in Telugu soon but she has created enough waves of interest with her innocent sex appeal. Armed with a killing smile and a tempting navel show, she sure looks to be sweeter than wine and as ripe as a red apple.

Rajendra Prasad's 'Hot Old Age' Desire?!

When it comes to comedy or versatile performances, the one man whose name comes first in mind is Rajendra Prasad. And right now, if sources are to be believed, his old flames have rekindled and the reason for that happens to be the comeback of one woman who was once a hot heroine.

She is none other than Rajani and with the announcement of her comeback into TV serials, it is heard that Rajendra Prasad is said to be keen on revisiting his past. The buzz is that he is hoping to pair up with Rajani once again just like old times and who knows, score a hit as well.

For now, Rajani is busy with the TV serial ‘Dr Indira’ and her comeback has cheered up many of her fans as well. Though it is still in air, the Tollywood folks say that it is indeed a good thought to have Rajendra Prasad and Rajani get together once again on the silver screen.

Film duds don’t bother Genelia’s ad quotient

She has no hit after Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na , her comeback venture in Hindi cinema, and yet Genelia D’Souza continues to be a popular face with advertisers.

Consider the odds: Genelia was much less hyped than Asin, another Tamil superstar who made her Bollywood debut around the same time with Ghajini . Asin, after her second film London Dreams failed last year, has no takers in Bollywood and has also not signed any new endorsement deal. On the other hand, Genelia’s brand value continues to rise despite consecutive duds.

So much so, Virgin Mobiles recently signed Genelia as their new brand ambassador in India along with Ranbir Kapoor. The perky actress also scooped up a new assignment as the new face of Garnier.

Experts feel that Genelia successfully fills the cute and bubbly image that was left vacant after Preity Zinta.

“Genelia has an advantage. She is not overly sexy. Rather, she looks cute. That makes her a favourite with families and youngsters because she comes across as a sweet cultured girl,” says ad whiz Prahlad Kakkar.

“She is a young girl with a refreshing personality.

Although Genelia has given flops after Jaane Tu ..., a film comes as a package.

And advertisers in India don’t link a film’s failure to a female actor,” says Anita Nayyar, CEO, Havas Media.

“Genelia carries a unique personality. She is the only young actress who matches the spunk of Kajol, Rani Mukherjee and Preity Zinta,” says Anirban Das Blah, managing director of KWAN, which manages Genelia’s account.

Probably that’s why Genelia features among the Top 10 celebrity brand endorsers that TAM AdEx released a couple of months ago.

Meanwhile, Genelia’s cute grin is only growing broader. Nowadays, she reportedly charges a whopping Rs 1.5 crore per deal. It puts her only after reigning queens Kareena, Katrina and Priyanka in the ad- money game.

They charge around Rs 2- 2.5 crore per deal.

'Leader' Finally Releases On 11th Feb

This year’s most anticipated film LEADER is all set to release on 11 February. Today a press meet was arranged at Taj Banjara Hotel to confirm the same. Apart from director Sekhar Kammula, Music Director Mickey J Meyer, Editor Marthand K.Venkatesh, DOP Vijay C.Kumar were present along with Leader team.

Also, with the agitation happening in the city it’s a perfect time for release and realizes the importance of a true leader. The music by Mickey J Meyer is rocking the chartbusters and has got positive response from the listeners. To promote the concept of leadership the team has come up with innovative merchandising stuffs like Leader T-shirts, Coffee mugs etc.

The winners of various contests can win this merchandise.

Screen Talk: Heroine Goes Blind!

There is always a huge difference in doing a glamour role and a performance driven role. It gets challenging for a heroine who is known for her sex doll image to come up with a character driven performance but right now, here is one girl who seems to have taken that challenge.

She is none other than Keerti Chawla of ‘Aadi’ fame and lately she has been a busy bird in Kollywood. Soon, she will be doing the role of a blind girl and this is happening in the Tamil film ‘Kulasekharanum Koolippadayum’. The film is being directed by G Siva and Keerthi will wear a contact lens with grey tint.

The film also has Prakashraj, Sathyaraj and others in the lead. Keerthi from her end is quite thrilled about this offer and is thankful to the director for choosing her. This might come across as a different recipe for all those who got used to the beautiful looks of Keerthi than her talented acting.

Will Harikrishna Attend Jr NTR’s Marriage?

Will Hari Krishna attend his son Jr NTR’s marriage? Will he come out at least now in the status of his father? Will he sit beside Shalini, the mother of Jr NTR during his marriage? That is a million dollar question now in the heads of everyone.

If Hari Krishna keeps away from this marriage, that shows negative impact on entire Nandamuri clan for sure. Even the fans of Jr NTR get fury. So predicting that will Chandrababu encourage Hari Krishna join the wedding in traditional way?

Will Kalyan Ram and his mother attend for this marriage?

Will entire Nandamuri family show unity to public?

Or will Hari Krishna play a game of illness and admits in hospital?

If that happens will Jr NTR agree to marry without his father in mandapam?

All these questions are now lingering the heads of every film lover and citizen of AP. The answers for all these questions will be unleashed soon.

Photo Feature: Neha Dhupia's Sexiest 'Bend'

‘Dhup’ in Hindi means ‘hot Sun’. Well, her parents might have known this when she was born that she would conduct heat across the nation on par with hot summer Sun. Hence she was named Neha ‘Dhup’ia. She creates heat in the hearts of men when she bends, when she laughs and when she merely looks. No more poetry can be written than this for her. This is her hot pose with wonderful bond angle oozing out liquids from men with a very look at her figure.

Photo Feature: Arthi’s Nude From Back

When she was seen in the film ‘Okariki Okaru’, many felt that she would be the best bet for homely roles in the Telugu circuit. However, she returned to her base in Bollywood and has become a bombshell that one cannot miss. She is none other than Arthi Chabria. Here she is, proving why she is called a bombshell. Draped with a piece of cloth, Arthi is showing her nude back which is literally going up to her butt cleavage. With a soft and silky skin that’s milky white in color, she looks no less than a statue of a sex diva made of marble. With a luscious cascade of hair and eyes that are teasingly erotic, one cannot help but think what is there on the front. There is no exaggeration in saying that one touch on the nape of her neck and any man will get electrocuted with passion and will burn to ashes.

Photo Feature: Married Heroine Smoking

Smoking and women are considered two entirely opposite things in our Indian society but then, thanks to feminism and equality mania, women are now competing with men in every aspect, that includes the field of smoking as well. Here is one beauty who seems to have taken an extra step on that.

She is none other than Amrita Arora, the Bollywood bombshell whose recent bikini show resolved the erection problems of many men. Here she is making another bold move and is puffing away to glory. Truth is, Amrita is now married and sporting a rather ravishing outfit along with a cigarette sounds quite rebellious.

Though Amrita’s photos are quite few in number, she ensures that she makes up for the quantity through good quality. Crossing her legs and showing her slit, Amrita is surely pouring ‘Amritham’ over the heads of men who would love to have a lady like this for company.

Photo Feature: Actress Nude With Single Button

It’s like just one step ahead for reaching heaven. Here it is just one button left to watch the heavenly beauty of this sexy dame who has been rolling the world on her curves. This is her latest pose for still camera. She also has star studded navel that makes her equator glow. The mole on her chin and the hole on her trouser speak more about her lecherous appeal.

‘M Dharma Raju MA’ For Manchu Manoj

The budding hero Manchu Manoj has been working real hard to set himself as a ‘different’ actor with a variety approach towards his roles. This has not been yielding that much for him and so, it is heard that he has decided to follow the footsteps of his father, the dynamic Mohan Babu.

Sources say that Manoj is keen on taking up negative roles and even his well wishers are also advising him the same. It is also said that his eyes are set on the movie ‘M Dharmaraju M A’ and that’s the kind of role he wants to portray since he is appealed by that film in a big way.

It must be recalled that the film gave a very new perspective of Mohan Babu and Manoj seems to be bagging a similar mileage by attempting for such a role. Many say that the difference between Mohan Babu and his sons in terms of personality or appeal is like chalk and cheese so let us see if Manoj can prove his critics wrong or not.

Ramcharan Goes Back- Allu Arjun Comes Up?

Well, it could be that today mega powerstar Ramcharan Teja is on the top slot when it comes in comparison with his cousin Allu Arjun. But then, the industry folks and few film pundits say that sooner or later, the situation is going to become reverse.

The reason for that is the growth and success of Allu Sirish, brother of Allu Arjun. Apparently, the Sirish mania has been spreading like wildfire and with the kind of growth he has been seeing, it is natural that he would now focus on boosting the graphs of his brother as well.

Not that Allu Arjun is going through a rough patch but if he gets this extra bit of push then he would surely be surpassing Charan. It remains to be seen how Charan can counter the Allu Sirish factor to stay on top.
