Spotlight: Shilpa slams 'wild accusations'!

Shilpa Shetty has hit out at "wild accusations" that she helped ruin another woman's marriage.
The Celebrity Big Brother winner has been romantically linked with British-based Indian businessman Raj Kundra, 31.
But his estranged wife Kavita, 25, the mother of his 10-month-old daughter, claimed her husband's obsession with the Bollywood star ruined her marriage.
A spokeswoman for the 32-year-old actress said she and Kundra were just friends.
The star has now released a statement criticising the "baseless allegations against me of ruining her [Kavita Kundra's] marriage".

She said: "My understanding is that Raj and Kavita's marriage was over a year ago and they have filed for divorce and have been living separately for over a year.
"I met Raj Kundra three months ago in a business capacity, so where the question of me breaking up her marriage arises, this is impossible as I have known him for 12 weeks.
"I am disgusted by her reported comments and completely refute the allegation."
She warned of legal action if the allegations continued.
"My culture and upbringing does not permit me to break marriages and I am the least interested in knowing or hearing any more about her."
Shilpa said her "conscience is clear" over the "wild accusations".
Kavita has been quoted as saying: "Now I look at the pictures of them together and think, she's with my husband, she's living my life.
"She can have any man she wants and there are plenty of single men about."

Yamadonga to release on August 15th

On the occasion of Independence Day, NTR and Rajamouli's most ambitious film is releasing. Buzz doing the rounds is the producer Cherry is planning to release it on August 15 th. Already they said to have tipped the distributors about the date. So Nandamuri fans would have to make arrangements for celebrations on this Independence Day.

Tulasi audio releases in September

Venkatesh and heroine Nayantara are now shooting for "Tulasi" in the picturesque locales of Europe. Director Boyapati will be canning few scenes and songs there mostly in Germany. On the other hand, producer D. Suresh Babu is making arrangements for its grand release at the holiday period – Dussera. Music by Devi Sri Prasad will be released in September.

Brahmanandam as Superstar Rajnikanth

Comedian Brahamanandam has mimicked many a superstar including our own Mahesh Babu. He did the get up of "Pokiri" in recently released "Aa Roje". Now he is going to take on Tamil Superstar. Brahmanandam is donning the role of Rajnikanth's "Shivaji" in Uday Kiran's "Lakshmi Putrudu". The film's shooting is now going on in Hyderabad.

Gossip: Prakash Raj's Properties worth Rs. 200 Cr

Scuttlebutt says that Prakash Raj's property is worth Rs 150 Cr. He came from a struggling background, sleeping in Chennai Pangal park during his acting trials. The earnings from the four South Indian film industries have given him crores of Rupees and he made intelligent investment of the same in shares and in land. The fate turned positive for Prakash Raj and he landed in crores now. As soon as he made big crores, he started igniting the production ideas and has shown a new facet of him as producer.

The same money and properties brought arrogance in him unfortunately. Interestingly Prakash Raj admitted a few weeks ago that his huge earnings made him arrogant but now learnt how to behave and keep cool with everyone. That sounds to be a sign of repentance. But like a villain in any film, he is again showing his recalcitrance and arrogance to big producers as well in the matters of dates adjustment and coming to sets in time.

So, money makes many things. It even transforms a sincere and hard working artiste as an arrogant freak.

Director P Vasu's Tollywood Plans with His Son

Director P Vasu is now holding an idea to launch his son Shakthi as hero both in Tamil and Telugu. He is taking the help of Rajani Kanth in launching him grandly there. Here in AP, P Vasu is taking the help of Mohan Babu in encouraging his son, as per the grapevine. Vasu is known as plain hearted and good individual in Kollywood circles. He got acquaintance with Mohan Babu and Rajani Kanth in big way.

Mohan Babu is already involved in giving professional life to his two sons. Will he bless Shakthi equally now? If gossip is to be believed P Vasu is looking at Mohan Babu for making a film with his son Shakti on Lakshmi Prasanna banner.

Apparently, a multi starrer script is planned by P Vasu with the combination of Manoj and Shakti in it. The script is now in discussion as per the sources.

Buzz: Jiah Khan Missed 'Pokiri' Chance!

Jiah Khan, the girl of Nishabd fame had lost the opportunity to act in the Hindi version of Pokiri. But there is a silly reason for Jiah's losing the opportunity. In one occasion Jiah Khan spoke about Katrina Kaif in insulting manner. The hero in Hindi Pokiri is Salman Khan and the director is Prabhu Deva.

So, the grapevine says that Jiah Khan was removed from the project with the word of Salman Khan and due to the same reason and Ayesha Takia is roped in.

It appears that that the career of Nishabd girl going Nishabd after the first film.

Snippet: Vishnu Has Chosen His Comfortable Path

Vishnu Vardhan Manchu seems to have chosen his comfortable path now. He acted in the film 'Dhee' with subtle humor in his role. Although he played many action packed roles before, none could survive at the box office. It's only 'Dhee' that brought him fame and success. Now it is said that he is acting in the direction of P Vasu, a remake of 'Bruce Almighty', in which Nagarjuna is playing the role of 'God'.
The Vishnu going to play in Vasu's direction is the one played by Jim Carrey in 'Bruce Almighty'. The character is packed with full dose comedy and we have to see how Vishnu enacts that. Talking about the trivial, it is observed that Vishnu reduced a little when he appeared for the launching of 'Think Smart Animation company'. If he continues the same reduction, we may see an active and athletic Vishnu who can better justify the role given to him.
P Vasu is famous for making the fantasy and paramedical subject oriented films success and 'Chandramukhi' is the best example. Let us hope that this Telugu version of 'Bruce Almighty' works well. There was news that the same film is being made in Hindi as well with Amitabh and Saif Ali Khan. But there is no update on that till now.

Screen Buzz: Either Bhavana Or New Girl!

Allu Arjun's film with 'Bomarillu' Bhaskar is still in a fix with respect to heroine. The shooting of the film is already started a few weeks ago and the heroine is yet to be grooved in. The names of Kajal, Vedika, Priyamani and Bhavana were heard initially and now the name of Bhavana is being heard louder again. This Malayalam beauty is already acting in a film with Gopichand in the captaincy of Pokuri Babu Rao.

The role beside Allu Arjun is not that of a glamour doll just like in 'Desa Muduru'. That needs glamour with performance. At the same time, the heroine shouldn't look older and bear new look on a whole. When all these qualities are searched for, only the name of Bhavana is heard.
Apart from this, it is also stated that Allu Arjun is thinking to rope in a new heroine from Mumbai as he has been doing from the beginning of his career. But this time, the actress needs to look great and perform well at the same time.

Reel Talk: Rajasekhar Running For 'Kreedom'!

Fresh gossip says that Raja Sekhar is running behind getting the remake rights of the movie 'Kreedom'. He is known as dubbing king and almost watches every Tamil and Malayalam movie after its release or even gets the feedback of the same from his story department. He, now, feels to remake the film 'Kreedom' starred by Ajith and Trisha in Tamil.
It is already informed that many producers are vying for the remake rights of the same. At the same time, some are even trying to get the dubbing rights of the same as Trisha and Ajith have got enough reputation to hit the Telugu box office. We have to see if this film comes as dubbed version or a remake. Long back, much before the release of the film 'Kreedom', it was said that Pawan Kalyan is going to do that in Telugu. But he turned busy with Trivikram's project and the idea was dropped completely.

Sources say that it would be Raja Sekhar who may bag the rights of this film. Other sources say that Prabhas and Gopichand are also showing interest on the same. Let us wait and see who bags it at last.

Jr NTR Strikes Balance Between Two Girls!

Along with acting, Jr. NTR is endowed with another merit: gift of the gab. He is a good conversationalist.
He is proved to be at his best in the company of gals. Any hero finds it difficult to manage, when he is sandwiched between two heroines – nay not in a film- but on sets. Jr.NTR strikes amazing balance when he fits into such an occasion.
He needed to interact with two heroines- Priyamani and Mamata Mohan Das- on the sets of 'Yamadonga'. He became equally intimate with two gals.
He paid similar attention to the duo. Now each gal is under the impression that she is really close to NTR. Did he inherit this ability from his father or grandfather?

Shah Rukh Khan was very impressed with Sivaji!

Buzz doing the rounds is that Shah Rukh Khan was very impressed with Sivaji: The Boss director Shankar after he saw the Rajnikant starrer.

And apparently Shankar has approached SRK for his next venture, supposedly, a sci-fi flick.
The same project for which he had considered Hrithik Roshan.
A source close to the director says, “Shankar wanted Hrithik but it seems that he won’t be able to do the film because he has already committed to his father Rakesh Roshan for Krrish 2. Now, Shankar has approached SRK and he has agreed.”
It is also learnt that SRK will be producing the film for Shankar with the post-production in the USA. “Since Krrish, Shah Rukh has been keen on making a sci-fi film. He agreed to do Ram Gopal Varma’s Time Machine, but Ramu shelved the project because he wanted to remake Sholay with Amitabh,” adds the source. SRK and sci-fi — now that’s some combo!

‘Hansika did not take steroids to look older’

Buzz had it that actress Hansika Motwani better-known as Rheaa of Aap Kaa Surroor had taken steroids and supplements to look older not only to match with Himesh Reshammiya, but also bag the lead in other films as an actress.

Manzoor Khan, her makeup artiste in the film, however denies the story saying that Hansika and he had worked together on her look.
"I am responsible for the mature look that Hansika has in the film," he says. He adds, "It was the magic of my brush and the makeup technique that helped Hansika look older than her actual age."
Manzoor says that he had worked out several alternatives for Hansika. "I realised that with straight hair Hansika looked much younger and thus gave her curls so that she would look older. Usually, I use minimum makeup on my artiste, but with Hansika it was the other way round. I deliberately chose to do heavy make-up especially around the eyes and lips so as to make her look like a girl in her 20s," he says.

Shilpa Shetty linked with married NRI

Dr Shilpa Shetty, 32, might soon be referred to as Dr Mrs Shetty if reports about her romantically getting involved with London-based 30-year-old Indian businessman Raj Kundra, materialise into their doing the seven pheras.

Rumours had been floating about their being close since the last few weeks and the Mail Royal had hinted about their likely marriage early this month.

Suddenly Raj changed and now he wants a divorce," Kavita said.

Monica to get out of jail, SC clears her release

The Supreme Court on Monday relaxed the bail conditions of Monica Bedi, former Bollywood actress and companion of gangster Abu Salem, by directing that she would not have to surrender her passport as it has been lost.

The Court directed that her passport issued by the Regional Passport Office, Mumbai be cancelled and the Special CBI Judge in Hyderabad will consider the order while releasing her on bail.
The order to this effect was passed by a Bench headed by Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan after Bedi`s counsel informed the Court that she was not in possession of the passport.
Bedi has been sentenced to three years imprisonment by the Andhra Pradesh High Court in a case of forged passport. In another similar case, a Madhya Pradesh Court has acquitted her.

Screen Talk: Nagarjuna Also Changed His Mind

Nagarjuan also changed his mind with respect to multi star films. Once he said that multi star films in Tollywood are far from reality due to budgetary constraints and the expectations of fans.

Once he said, "The story of such films should be very strong. No one should be over shadowed by other. That is very difficult to get such script".

But he is now acting in Vishnu's next film as per the grapevine. It is known that 'Dhee' became successful for three factors- Sri Hari, Brahmanandam and Sreenu Vaitla's narration. So Sri Hari, the special character in the film played a very vital role in the success of it.

Now if Nagarjuna plays special character in the film of Vishnu, that would really be a sensation and will be much hyped while making it. Let us see if this news will be a confirmed one.

Buzz: When Jagapathi Babu Lost his Cool!

It is indeed tough time for Storm pictures that entered into the film making with the blessings of Varma. We hear that Storm's upcoming flick with Jagapathi Babu directed by J.D.chakravarthy is undergoing some problems.
According to sources a huge tiff broke on the sets between the lead star Jagapathi Babu and the director JD resulting in Jagapathi's walkout.
"JD has tendency to shoot the same scene over and over again, even when everyone present there could see that a take was fine, really got on Jagapathi's nerves," says a source on the sets.
Another major difference arose during the Scripting of the film when director JD approved the earlier version. Apparently Jagapathi was not satisfied with the earlier one as he felt that it was not up to the mark. JD promised to rewrite the script according to Jagapathi's suggestions but he failed to do so.

However the production house denies that there were any rift between the hero and director. But it is not the first time JD having differences with his team. This may be the reason why he is still struggling even he was proved long back as an actor and director.

Shriya: "I Got Great Physique From Her"

Shriya dreamt many things but nothing happened in tune of those. She expected that she would bag something big followed by Sivaji. She acted in Hindi film 'Awarapan' but even there the things are not favorable. The film turned down at box office.
She shares her personal things to media this way:

My Beauty:
Many say that my physique looks great. I got that from my mother. My Mom is a beauty and I got that from her by birth. I take extra care in the matters of sleep, food and exercise. That keeps me in shape.
Competition:
I never believe in competition in this field. Every body will have her own cake. I get along with everyone with amicable behavior.
Party Animal:
Many call me party animal. I spend time with my friends that way. I have many friends in Hyderabad. I go with them for parties in the evenings. I don't think that is wrong. But media projects that in big way.
Present Projects:
I'm acting in Tamil film 'Kandasamy' with Vikram and another film with Vijay.

Gossip: Kamalini is all set to dump Sumanth?

Rumor has it that the rock steady relationship between Kamalini Mukherji and her beau Sumanth is presently going through a very rough patch. So far there has been no confirmation or denial of this Relationship by either Kamalini or Sumanth.

It has been close to two years since Sumanth and Kamalini began dating. Over the years, their love has withstood the test of time. But now, some deep rifts have begun to appear.
After moving together for couple of years, Sumanth and Kamalini seem headed for splits Ville. While the real reason of the split is still not clear, it is being speculated that the two lovers have had too much of each other and that love has begun to evaporate from their relationship.
Friends close to the couple are quoted that Sumanth has not denied in the past that his relation with Kamalini has been through rough patches over the year. But this time, the friction between the lovers seems a tad too serious.
Earlier Sumanth and Kamalini would often attend the social dos and dinners together. But of late, things have changed. Poor Sumanth is often spotted alone.

Mumaith Khan Physically Abused at city Hotel

Mumaith Khan, who shot to fame with her item numbers, had a brush with murky male conduct last week when some men subjected her to lewd comments and gestures at a hotel.
"Just because I've done a certain kind of role it doesn't mean I am open to such behavior," said Mumaith speaking of the incident that had taken place while she was standing with her friend at the entrance of that Hyderabad star hotel.
"I too came from a decent family, have god fearing parents and feel offended by lewd behavior just like any other normal girl."
Mumaith admits men tend to look at girls with 'sexy' desires in a particular way and hence she says that she behaves accordingly with them.
Mumaith 's line of argument notwithstanding, the fact remains that actresses with 'hot' images are more prone to predatory attention than their counterparts with relatively sedate images.
Now I hear Mumaith Khan has appointed two bouncers to protect her. God bless her.

Substitute to Simran:
Many say about substitute to Simran but I don't believe in that. Today, many heroines are acting really well. Asin and Nayantara are wonderful in their performances and same is the case with Trisha, Sandhya and all.
No Strength for 18 hours:
Earlier I used to work for 18 hours a day. But now the time is not cooperating with me due to my son. I have to look after him. Still, I act in films and if time and opportunity comes, I would act in TV serials as well. But my priority is films.
Glamour Show:
I never relied only on glamour show. Glamour+ Performance= Simran. I believed in that and keep believing as well.

'Mohan Babu' Says Those 100 Days Are Genuine & Trapped Entire Electronic Media

Mohan Babu Says Those 100 Days Are Genuine

Mohan Babu is speaking in indirect fashion these days. He is letting out his feelings ironically in several incidents. A few days back during the audio launch of Yama Donga he said a dialogue from the same film and implied that he is saying that by keeping a person in his mind. The dialogue is " Nyayaaniki Anyaayaniki, Dharmaniki Adharmaniki Madhya sangharshana jaruguthunnappudu goda meeda pillila vunde vaadini sala sala kaage nunelo veyisthaaru ee narakamlo.."
That's one aspect which smells fishy and leads to pseudo assumptions of many about that 'person' in Mohan Babu's mind.
Freshly he said another thing that appears to have said by keeping a person in his mind, again. He said, "My son Vishnu's 'Dhee' ran for 100 days genuinely. Even my films run only genuinely. We never try to push it for 100 days although people are not watching, like others. Right now Dhee is running beyond 100 in about 40 theatres".
Well, who are those 'others'?

Mohan Babu Trapped Entire Electronic Media

Mohan Babu has his own way of keeping entire electronic media in his proximity. He invited all the heads of different television channels and FM radios for the launching of '24 Frames Factory', for which Vishnu Vardhan Manchu is the CEO.
Right from TV9 Ravi Prakash, MAA TV Sarath Marar, ETV Bapi Needu to the heads of SFM, Big FM and all have come for the launching of the same. 24 Frames provides the video content pertaining to films to TV channels and also entering into IP TV. There will be daily correspondence between 24 Frames Factory and electronic media channels if the contract is signed with them for taking the exclusive video content from them.
In the function, it is observed that TV9 Ravi Prakash moved very close with Mohan Babu and both appeared like thick friends for many. It is really a good idea to keep entire electronic media in intact.
Apart from this '24 Frame Factory', Vishnu Vardhan Babu is also heading 'Think Smart', the animation studio.

Controversy: Prakash Raj ousted from Athidhi?

Character actor Prakash Raj has landed in yet another controversy.

According to sources, Prakash Raj was allegedly removed from the latest Athidhi because of differences with the director and the lead actor. Actually, he was part of the Mahesh Babu starrer, but once the film started rolling, Prakash Raj was said to be coming late for the shooting. This reportedly irked the director and the lead actor.
The director reportedly decided to complete the film without Prakash Raj. It is not known whether Prakash Raj’s role will be chopped off or shortened in the light of the controversy.
This was not the first time that Prakash Raj landed in a controversy. Earlier too a few producers complained against him about his late arrivals at the shootings.
Now Bollywood actor Sushant Singh, who acted in Ram Gopal Verma’s films and the recent Raviteja’s Dubai Seenu has been roped in for the main villain’s character in place of Prakash Raj.The movie is slated for release in the first week of September. It is being produced by Mahesh’s brother Ramesh.
