Screen Talk: Finally, Chirutha on Sep 28th

September 28 is a big day for megastar Chiranjeevi's son Ram Charan Teja, who is making his debut with Chirutha. The film has been directed by noted director Puri Jaganath. There had been some speculation about Chirutha's release date for some time now. Now, producer Aswani Dutt has officially announced the release date of Chirutha, as September 28. Expectations are high with this film and it is being looked forward to by fans, critics and the industry alike.

Aishwarya Rai: 'No more skin show please'

Remember Aishwarya Rai’s entry scene in the Colin Firth-starrer, The Last Legion? Wearing a skin-coloured, body-hugging outfit, Ash emerged out of a lake with her back to the camera, leaving men heaving and drooling.

However, chances of her showing any skin in her second Hollywood outing are rather slim.

If sources are to be believed, fans eager for another eyeful will be disappointed by her fully-clothed attire in the Pink Panther sequel.

Sources close to the film reveal that Ash has decided not to indulge in any skin show or wear revealing clothes in the project. Not only has marriage changed her outlook, but now she also thinks twice before saying yes to scenes or costumes that may make her look sexy on screen.

“Ash will be wearing lots of designer outfits, shoes, and accessories in the film. Her look is not just elegant, but also classy. In fact, one of the costume designers has modelled her look along the lines of Catherine Zeta Jones in Ocean’s 12,” says a source.

Apparently, Ash has had lengthy discussions with the makers of the film before signing the contract. Even though there is no such clause in the contract, Ash has made it clear that she will steer clear of any revealing outfits in the film.

Ash plays Sophie, a detective with a flair for karate, in Pink Panther 2. She teams up with Inspector Jacques Clouseau (Steve Martin) on a mission to track down a thief who steals expensive art pieces from all over the world. Ash is currently in Boston (Massachusetts) for the second schedule of the film.

Debut Heroine's Hot Ride With Debut Hero

The chemistry between Bombay model turned actress Shradda Arya and one more aspiring hero Vaibhav (the son of director Kodandarami Reddy) is simply unmistakable.

Shradda Arya and Vaibhav are working together in their debut film directed by yester year director Kodandarami Reddy. It is reported that their intimacy off the screen is incontestable. The two were seen together for a short time at the press meet of their film Godava, after which the duo headed for a party the same night.

But the scene at the party was quite different. While there were number of Tollywood stars (including Shradda Arya) Vaibhav was nowhere to be seen. It later turned out that he was waiting in the parking in his car.

So Shradda Arya just made a few minute appearances at the party, exchanged the pleasantries and slipped unnoticed to the parking area where Vaibhav was waiting. The two then went off for a drive with Vaibhav at the wheels. Where they have gone? Only they should know.

Chiranjeevi Announces Party On October 2nd

This is the hot news came out from reliable sources. Chiranjeevi has been in USA and has been talking to some key people on the announcement of new party. It is said that Chiranjeevi has chosen Gandhi Jayanthi to break the silence. He is going to announce a party on October 2 nd. Yes, it is a preplanned thing to act in 'Shankaradada Zindabad' to show his interest in Gandhian principles, we may consider.

'Chirutha' is releasing on September last week and it will be just within a week that Chiranjeevi announces his new political party as per the present plan. That way the film debut for his son and political debut for dad are going to happen almost at the same time.

It is also said that Chiranjeevi is in USA only to avoid the disturbance from kapu community people who have been pressurizing him to announce party. He will be landing in Hyderabad only after the release of Chirutha or else even though he returns he will be at home in silence. It is Allu Aravind's advice with which he went there. Let us see if there will be uproar in AP politics scenario on October 2nd.

The romance between music director Devi Sri Prasad and heroine Charmy has almost come to an end. His father and a noted script writer of bygone days, Satya Murthy pulled down the curtain much to the disappointment of the pretty gal.

As Devi Sri Prasad has utmost reverence to his father, he has chosen to be away from his sweet heart.

Trisha Between Chennai and Vijayawada

Trisha is now the lady love for two guys-Prabhas and Ravi Teja. Well that is on screen anyway. Both Ravi Teja and Prabhas named themselves as Bujji. While Prabhas hails from Chennai in Puri Jagannath's 'Bujjigadu care of Chennai', Ravi Teja is acting in the direction of VV Vianyak in 'Bezawada Bujji'. Why this Bujji factor suddenly?

That's a sheer coincidence indeed. Trisha is the heroine in both the films. The shooting of 'Bezawada Bujji' is planned in Vijaywada while 'Bujjigadu care of Chennai' will roll in Chennai to some extent. So, Trisha needs to shuttle between Vijayawada and Chennai for the shooting in both the films.

Screen Talk: 'She Had Affair With My Dad'

Bollywood actor Rishi Kapoor moved with anger knowing a few lines in the newly released 'Autobiography' of Vyjayanthi Mala, the yesteryears' actress. He said that she mentioned that Raj Kapoor used to run around her for friendship. But that was not true, as per Rishi.

He said, "She spoiled our family with the hot affair she had with my dad. She came to our house, seduced my father and stayed with him in the same house. Our mother took us out and we stayed in a hotel room for about 5 months. Those days were still in my memory".

That way Vyjanthimala made her book controversial and Rishi's voice added to that. Now there would be some pick up in the sales of the book.

Fly-over collapse: Rescue work on to clear debris

HYDERABAD: Rescue workers were engaged in removing the debris at an under-construction flyover in the busy Panjagutta area which collapsed on Sunday night killing two persons and injuring 10 others.

The mishap initially triggered fears that at least 15 persons could have lost their lives as the giant iron girders and concrete slabs caved in and flattened several vehicles.

However, after clearing most of the rubble on Monday morning, the police said two persons -- Ankit Arora from Haryana, an executive in Infosys and M B Kumar, a close aide of TRS leader S Santhosh Reddy were killed and condition of one of the injured was serious.

The vehicles parked under the flyover took the brunt of the crash as tonnes of steel and cement came down after the iron scaffolding, supporting the pre-fabricated cement segments, gave way.

"We hope to complete the debris clearance work in a couple of hours. A departmental inquiry has been ordered and action will be taken on the basis of its report," Hyderabad district collector Chandravadan said.

The 1.7 km long flyover, started in September 2005 at a cost of Rs 30 crores, is located at a stones throw from Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhar Reddy's camp office.

The rescue workers toiled throughout the night and used gas cutters and heavy duty cranes to remove girders and cement blocks.

The Chairman of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation C V S K Sarma said a committee of senior technical experts had been constituted to look into the cause of the mishap and the guilty would be punished. (PTI)

Buzz: Actress Angry For Being Photographed

The sexy belle apparently didn't like the presence of shutterbugs when she was shooting for a sizzling dance number.

We know that Amritha Rao is making her foray down south with Mahesh Babu's 'Athidi'.

Amritha Rao doesn't like the presence of media persons or photographers when she is shooting. So she made it clear to the producers of the film that she wouldn't shoot in front of paparazzi.

But when some portions of the song were shot on a road in Hyderabad a couple of days back, a number of photographers and local people were able to shoot Amritha Rao through their phone cameras.

The next day when Amritha Rao saw her pictures circulated in through mobiles, she was angry.

On the following day, there was no respite for Amritha Rao as a number of people gate crashed and entered the shooting location to photograph Amritha Rao.

This infuriated the actress and she refused to shoot until every single photographer was shown out of the place. It is reported the director and producer duo had a tough time to pacify the glam doll.

Screen Buzz: Genelia Refuses to Expose!

Actress Genelia has turned down a Bollywood movie offer because she was required to expose more than she is comfortable with.

Genelia's acting career has been on the rise ever since her award winning (as best actress) performance in Dil Raju's movie 'Bommarillu'. Today she is having handful of offers from south. But the girl who did a couple of films in Hindi always wanted to make a mark in Bollywood too.

One of the Bollywood Filmmakers had recently approached Genelia for a role in his movie. The film has Tushar Kapoor in the lead role.

Although Genelia liked the movie's script, she was not comfortable about the fact that her role in the film required her to expose a great deal. Genelia says she doesn't mind exposing to a certain limit, but the exposure that her role in that movie demanded would certainly have made her "very uncomfortable".

In Genelia's words, if she were uncomfortable in playing her role then it would show in her acting performance in the film.

So the actress politely turned down the Bollywood offer. In coming days, Genelia will be seen in films like Mister Medhavi with Raja and one more untitled film with Ram.
