Rimmi sen –Tarun: Will They click?

It is the question everyone thinks once they heard the news. Tarun, who is looking for a better innings this time is to do a Hindi remake. The role of the heroine is a stubborn one with a metro personality. After Shreya refused to do with Tarun, Bollywood's sexy bombshell Rimmi Sen walked in to the project.

Apparently, Rimmi Sen's debut film is a Telugu flick tilled "Nee Thodu Kavali". She is last seen in megastar's "Andharivadu".

Now everyone is waiting to see the onscreen chemistry between Rimmi and Tarun.

According to the source the movie is going to be produced by Dasari and directed by a newcomer.

Snippet: Simran's View On Her 2nd Innings!

From the chirpy and chatty characters to stirring roles Simran has done it all. And at this stage of career, the lady misses the sugar-candy romances and running around trees. She is going to seen in more small budget films than all those big banners she has been associated with for years.
But she has her own point of view on this issue. "It is not about small budget or big budget movies anymore. It is my role that makes my film big or small for me.
That is the reason I love to do 'John Appa Rao 40 Plus' with comedian Krishna Bhagawan", she said.
Before all that, she is going to appear on screen with Balakrishna in 'Okka Magaadu'.
Hope some of her contemporaries who want to be on screen again could take a lesson from this.

Reel Talk : Ileana Feels She Is Not Sexy!

She is considered to be one of the most sexist and hottest stars of the Tollywood, but the only person who is not impressed with Ileana's looks is the girl herself.
The girl who walked to the film fare awards with a gorgeous outfit looked ravishing doesn't really see herself as a sex symbol.
She feels that on most of the days, she looks less than ordinary. "I don't really pay attention to all that. It is only when people starts looking at me I feel I'm attractive. I don't really think I look all that great all the time", says the hourglass beauty.
Well, she got her eyes opened! She is true to some extent.

Daler Mehndi's Song Top Telugu Charts

Music director M.M. Keeravani has got Daler Mehndi to sing in 'Yamadonga' and the move seems to have paid off - the album rules the Telugu music market this fortnight.

The top five Telugu songs are:

1. 'Rabbaru gajulu' - Film: 'Yamadonga'. King of bhangra Daler Mehndi sings this number in his inimitable style along with Pranavi. It has certainly caught on.

2. 'Aakalesthe' - Film: 'Shankar Dada Zindabad'. Mamta Mohandas, who shot to fame with her 'Rakhi rakhi' number in 'Rakhi', makes an impact with 'Aakelesthe'. With good music by Devisri Prasad, she sings it with great zest with Naveen.

3. 'Manasa' - Film: 'Munna'. The song is perhaps the mainstay of the movie. Harris Jayaraj has created magic with singers Sadhana Sargam, Naresh Iyer, Krish, Haricharan and Kandikonda.

4. 'Yemaindi ee vela' - Film: 'Aadavari Matalaku Ardhalu Verule'. The entertainer that is progressing towards the 100-day mark is still attracting audiences. Yuvan Shankar Raja's 'Yemaindhi ee vela' is still on the charts.

5. 'Niluvave' - Film: 'Lakhsyam'. Hemachandra sings the remix version of 'Niluvave valu kanula dana' originally sung by Ghantasala. He sounds quite cool in this remix.

Reel Buzz : Producer Is The Real Villain For SDZ

Guess who is the happiest man before release and upset and disheartened after the release of Mega Star's 'Shankardada Zindabad'? Well, it is choreographer turned director Prabhu Deva. He had seen beaming with joy when he got an opportunity to direct Chiranjeevi. The movie released with a fanfare and lots of hungama but didn't get the expected response from public. There are many reasons and some are pointing their finger to Prabudeva.
"I couldn't recreate another wonder like my previous hit film but I did my best", confesses the scapegoat of the whole issue to his close associates.
The fact is that the Gemini Film Circuit didn't brother to do any publicity for the film. No promo is being shown in TV channels and even the stills of the film are very less.
"The sole reason for the failure of SDZ is lack of publicity", affirmed a trade pundit.
Hopefully the mater will end here and people will take notice.

Hyd Gossip : Actress Struggling To Quit Smoking!

The Southern star that shot to fame with Rajni Kanth's previous film is known for her figure rather than the acting prowess. She is working towards her acting talent to be recognized more very soon. She was bubbly initially but later turned slim and sleek with excessive dieting and liposuction. She got addicted to smoking as well.
Now she wants to quit smoking to keep her figure in shape on which she is betting her career in Tollywood. Smoke kills appetite and affects on the skin and lips.
But the poor girl whose love story with her Kollywood hero made news is finding it difficult to kick the butt. The Mallu girl, who recently decided to quit smoking after being warned by her doctor, is going through "hell" trying to kick her smoking habit. The girl was warned by the doctor and asked her to keep away from smoke. Now she is down to a pack from four but it is a battle for her to say Goodbye to the addiction.

Film Nagar About Kamalini-Sumanth Split

What are the reasons for Kamalini-Sumanth split? Is it true, first of all? If true, what would be the reason? If false, how this grapevine has seen light?
When enquired about this, the Film Nagar sources said that Kamalini-Sumanth split was quite common and that happened many times even in the shooting time of Godavari.
"They go logger heads for silly reason and unite again after sometime", said a technician.
"They have that soft line which can be called 'love' or 'attraction'. They canot separate I believe", said another.
Many say that the two will unite again after a silence.
So, we need not feel bad that this Telugu guy and Bengali beauty were separated and not talking to each other.

Snippet: Mamatha With Hot-Seductress Image!

She is already raising eyebrows with her self promotional strategies. Mamatha Mohandas, one more Mallu girl who is rocking with her husky voice is going to sizzle the silver screen with NTR's Yama Donga very soon.
She wants to get the dare-to-bare image and a couple of weeks ago she said that she prefers getting dare and seducing image but not the obscene one. From the depth of her words, we think she would any day prefer a bikini.

Not merely that, she acted in skimpy costumes in a Tamil film as well.
When she asked why the actress makes about wearing bikinis in films a big deal she immediately says," Bikini is a sign of glamour if shown in decent way. It is just another costume, which is incidental to my profession. If acting is my forte why would I worry about the costume?

So what is the big hue and cry about it? What a self promotional attitude? Do we see more filmmakers making a beeline for the actress already?

Sekhar Kammula introduced his actors to the media today evening at a press meet organized in Green Park hotel.

Speaking on the occasion Sekhar Kammula said, “If Anand and Godavari were my daughters, Happy Days is like my son. Making this film was as difficult as raising a son. This film has the backdrop of a college. We have shown the youth in angle in this film. This film will remain as wonderful cinema in the history of Telugu film industry.

Vamsi Krishna: He is a fine actor. He behaves as per the mood of the character in the real life too. He is vary passionate about films.

Gayatri Rao: She is a very active girl. She had a long hair when I met her first. We had to cut it short because she is going to play the role of a tomboy. She was very upset for a couple of days when we cut her hair short.

Sonia: She handed over the shields to the dignitaries in Telugu cinema vajrostavalu function. That is where I spotted her.

Monali Chowdary: She played the role with negative shades. She gave a very good performance.

Shooting Canceled Because of Comedian

He is the well-behaved, cooperative and modest star only for press and television interviews. Otherwise he is a torture cyclone!

The guy is most successful comedian of the Tollywood who charges a hefty sum for his work. This dark complexioned comedian's first film as hero was a super hit.

It is learned that in a big producer's movie his acts have crossed the limits and shooting has been called off for that day.

Since he has given two days the director reckoned on shooting at least 7 scenes a day. But after doing 2 scenes, the hero turned comedian gets all irritated and complains that a big star like him cannot be made to slog like this. So, the comedian and director are at loggerheads. The clash went to such a length that shooting had to be cancelled. All these happenings have put the unit in a dazed mood.

The producer decided to replace this nagging comedian and ready to bare the losses.

Now the comedian sheds crocodile tears by saying "It is injustice for a comedian like me?" but in reality, he's making others shed tears of blood, say some.

Hopefully god will do something to bring down from his high horse!, says a unit member.

Talk: ‘Chiranjeevi phobia’ saves Ummareddi

‘Chiranjeevi phobia’ has saved Ummareddi Venkateswralu’s scalp in the reshuffled TDP politburo as he is the only Kapu leader from coastal districts retaining his seat in the party’s highest decision making body.

Interestingly, another senior leader, Kodela Sivaprasada Rao from Guntur, has lost the battle for a place in the politburo due to caste equations. According to reports, party president Chandrababu Naidu had decided to drop Ummareddi from the politburo along with Karanam Balarama Krishna Murthy (Prakasam) and P Srinivasa Reddy (Mahbubnagar). While the decision to drop Balaram and Srinivasa was taken following their election as district unit presidents, Naidu wanted to remove Ummareddi with a view to reducing the ‘heavy weights’ from Guntur district.

Party senior leaders reportedly convinced Naidu that it may not be wise to drop Ummareddi from the politburo at a time when the entire coastal districts are engulfed in speculation about Chiru’s likely entry into politics, sources said.

There is a feeling among the Kapus that they are being given a ‘raw deal’ in the TDP when compared to the Congress. “Ummareddi’s removal will certainly send wrong signals to the Kapus, particularly when four Kapu leaders (Botsa Satyanarayana, Jakkampudi Rammohan Rao, Mandali Budha Prasad and Kanna Lakshminarayana) are serving as ministers in the YSR cabinet,” a senior leader said.

The TDP’s new state committee has left the party circles in Krishna district disappointed as neither the senior nor the youth leaders were accommodated in it. While Lal Jan Basha and Ummareddi got berths in the politburo, Kodela and Nannapaneni Rajakumari will continue as spokespersons. Another leader J R Pushparaj was made party vice-president.

Reel Buzz: Ash and Abhi may soon be parents!

Baby B to be more precise. Yes, the most beautiful woman in the world, Aishwarya Bachchan, is reportedly expecting and Abhishek is gonna be a dad. Amitabh Bachchan, meanwhile, is going to be the grand-daddy of them all!

There are already three ABs in this power family — Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Bachchan, and when media had asked Abhishek in an earlier interview whether he would name his child with the alphabet A, he had said, “That’s actually a cool thought. I haven’t thought about it, though.” And on plans of starting a family, he had said, “Kids shouldn’t be planned.
They should just happen.” So, if the couple is indeed expecting their first child, all we can say is ‘Here’s to Baby B!’ The couple tied the knot on April 20 this year.

Screen Talk: Salman Khan’s Prem kahaani

Salman Khan’s name in the soon-to-be-released film Marigold, is Prem.
While he is Sooraj Barjatya’s Prem (his character was called Prem in Maine Pyar Kiya , remember?) he is also Willard Carol’s Prem.
Salman Khan’s name in the soon-to-be-released film Marigold , is Prem. So when we asked him if he considers the name to be lucky, he laughed and said, “Actually my character is very close to the character I played in Maine Pyaar Kiya.
It has the same innocence and vulnerability. Now, I play the same guy after 17 years.” Director Willard Carroll thought that the name Prem suited Sallu best. Some prem kahani, this!

Snippet: Extra mile for darling daughter!

Producer Mohan Babu is having a gala time. He, with his family, is vacationing in Las Vegas. And recently his daughter Lakshmi Prasanna celebrated her first wedding anniversary with hubby Andy, her family including her brothers Vishnu and Manoj, and her colleagues from Hollywood circles and other acquaintances at an Indian cuisine restaurant in Los Angeles.

Apparently, Mohan Babu looked as happy as a clam when Lakshmi proclaimed that she owes all her success to her wonderful dad. The producer is set to return to Hyderabad next week for Yamadonga's release.

Suresh Babu Not Open To RANA'S Entry

The star producer Ramanaidu's grandson Rana has stepped forward to carry on the family's legacy in Tollywood. Indeed he already stepped as a technician. He is the producer of children's film 'Bommalata' that bagged best child actor award for Master Sai Kumar acted in that.

Rana, did a film course in New York, and is planning to join films as an actor. The 22-year-old has reportedly expressed his desire to take up only an acting career. It is learned that the tall guy with strange looks has already transformed into a successful actor and has received quite a few acting offers already.

However, his father Sureshbabu is said to be against his son joining tinsel town as actor because he feels Rana will be successful as a creative person. But Rana is sure he will eventually give in to his wish. We have to see what happens.

Ok let us welcome one more star form star producer's house.

Why Kamalini Mukherjee Escapes From Media?

The Bengali girl, Kamalini is going places with couple of films in Telugu and she is going to foothold in Tamil industry too. The coming year is going to be hectic for her.

It is learned that after breakup with Sumanth she is enjoying every minute of her new found freedom and she wouldn't rather discuss that. No wonder this homely actress keeps herself in quite low profile.

Gossip: Chiranjeevi's Shopping Complex in L.A

All that appears for public is not the only property of top celebrities of the state. It is really difficult to unearth and estimate the property values of these big men.

Chiranjeevi has a big shopping complex in Los Angeles. Raja Sekhara Reddy bought a very big shopping complex at Gilroy in Bay Area, California . Even Chandrababu Naidu bought one freshly very close to that of Raja Sekhara Reddy's mall.

All these big men go abroad for various cultural activities. But their interest is on their businesses. The broker is same for both YSR and Chandrababu in settling the deals.

Reel Talk: Pawan Kalyan's Title 'Jalsa' Or 'Masti'

The shooting of the film in the combination of Pawan Kalyan and Trivikram Sreenivas has been going on from quite long time. But till now the title hasn't declared. The interest is now concentrated on this film for film circles.

When inquired it was revealed that that there are two titles in consideration now. One is Jalsa and the other is Masti. Both the titles are close to Pawan Kalyan's last super hit flick 'Khushi' in terms of sense and meaning. There is another coincidence that both the words are from Hindi.

Sources say that almost a title will be confirmed out of these two. We have to see which will be decided in grand finale. Get glued to know more.

Hot Sexy Affair With Middle Age Beauty

'Kadhal Varudhu Paruvam' is the film that was released in Tamil but failed to grab the attention of many there. The film starred Kiran Rathod and young guy Harish Kumar. It was released last year. Now the film is getting released into Telugu with the title 'Tenth lo premalo padithey'. The film s about the crush of a young guy with a 30 year old fair lady and the seducing nature of the lady as well. The two fall in lust and the story runs on that theme.

Looking at the face of the theme itself we can understand that it is targeted only to limited set of audiences.

The plight may repeat for the film as it happened in Tamil. Well, it is releasing as a message oriented film (!) YT Naidu is producing it in Telugu.

Telugu community meet Hillary Clinton in California

Prominent members in telugu community meet Hillary Clinton duirng a fundraiser event in California

College Students Implemented Shankardada Formula

The 'Shankaradada Zindabad' formula of Gandhian Non Violence method is implemented by the students of a college in Kancherapalam area of Visakhapatnam. The college students weren't issued the bus passes by the RTC authorities despite pleading in several ways for 2 months. Then the students decided to implement Shankaradada principle and started sending flower bouquets to the concerned officer asking him to 'get well soon' and issue the Passes.

The officer responded immediately and issued the passes for all. The Vizag student groups are talking about this non violent style of winning things in big way.

This is really an example to say that the student groups not only get influenced by 'bad' in the films but also for 'good'.

Music Director's Divorce Case Sees Light

Snippet: Another Sex Bomb To Woo Tollywood

We have Abhinaya Sree as item girl but she transformed as an actress. Then we have Mumaith Khan serving the purpose to large extent. Yana Gupta danced for Shankaradada Zindabad and that brought her bigger attention. And here is another competition for our own item bomb Mumaith Khan. She is formidable too. She is none other than Koina Mitra, the Bollywood sexy queen who steals the youth with her looks.
According to sources she will scorch the screen soon with her hot number in Venkatesh's TULASI (tentative title) being produced by Suresh Babu and directed by Boyapati Srinu.
The director and producer are said to be very much impressed with Koina.
We hear that once the film is out, Koina is likely to bag many roles in Tollywood.

Buzz: Sai Kumar Troubles Vijayadasami Team!

This is the gossip that is making rounds now. Sai Kumar is playing villain in the film 'Vijayadasmi' that is starred by Kalyan am and Kajal. Samdura is directing the film. It is said that Sai Kumar always tries to push his ideas on to the director for every scene. It is also said that he keeps on trying to make his idea implemented by the director.
"This over confidence of Sai Kumar is troubling both the director and hero", say the sources.
Indeed, Sai Kumar is confident on several things. He knows the strength of his voice and also feels that is very creative.
Many say that sai Kumar has many good qualities but he fails in assessing who is wholeheartedly accepting his ideas.

Gossip: Flowers For Trisha In 'Dada' Style!

It is being said that Trisha is in love with a London based guy. She has never met this guy so far in person, but he is known to be sending flowers to her regularly. Overwhelmed by the gift of flowers that he has been sending, Trisha is now said to be developing a soft corner for this mysterious guy.

But when one hears that the mysterious guy from London is sending flowers regularly, does it not indicate something else? Trisha is in the news lately for all the wrong reasons. Her drunken brawls at pubs, her antics on the road, news that she has kicked her father out of the house and her steamy videos doing the rounds on the net…. have all brought her a bad name.

So this guy may be actually sending flowers like Chiranjeevi (Shankar Prasad) in Shankar Dada Zindabad in order to persuade Trisha to mend her ways. Got it?
