Telugu film producer asked me to sleep with him
Her maiden film as an actress - Hum Sey Hai Jahaan bombed at the box office, but then pretty, dark and smart Vishakha Singh is not unduly perturbed by the fate of the film for the simple reason that even before Hum Sey Hai Jahaan was complete, she had bagged two more films - Abhijeet Sengupta's Do Aur Do Paanch and Venkatesh Naidu's Coffee Shop, which are also being readied for an early release.What is Vishakha's take on exposure?
When I saw Esha Deol appear in a skimpy bikini in Dhoom, my heart sank, because I realized that I stood no chance of saying no to getting into a bikini, if Esha who is from the film industry had to do it. I am not at all a prude.
Though I had turned down Arjun Sablok's offer to cast me in Niel N Niki in the role in which he had eventually cast Tanisha, because he could not convince me to expose my cleavage almost throughout the film, I'd readily do a lip to lip kissing scene like Rani did in Black if the scene changes the entire narration like it did in Black."
Is she scared of the syndrome of the casting couch?
Without batting her eye lids, she replies, "I am not scared at all of the casting couch, because I'd slap the person if someone makes an attempt, though I do not deny that it does exist.
A Telugu film producer told me on my face to sleep with him if I wanted to act in his film, but he was lucky because I had politely walked out, since I was new then, long before I bagged the offer for my first film."

Big B gifted Rs.50 lakh watch to Sanjay Dutt
So, we have it that Amitabh Bachchan has gifted his friend and colleague a Rs. 50 lakh watch - the platinum Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar. But, what is not known is the reason behind this generous gift….
However, filmi pundits have an answer to everything. They say that Big B is making every effort to revive his production company AB Corp and obviously he will need actors to star in the films by his production house. He just can’t possibly feature himself, his son and daughter-in-law in every flick.
Sanjay Dutt is not only a good Bachchan friend but also a very box-office friendly actor. So, this defines and justifies the lavish gift with an understanding that Bachchans too will star in Sanju Baba’s production.

Rs 7 crore budget for single song
One song being shot at a cost of Rs. 7 crores. It's a mad mad world, you might think. But that is the truth. Rs. 7 crores are going to be spent on a single song and to think that we once deemed Rs. 1 crore being spent on a single song in Bhaagam Bhag as an excess. The man who featured in Bhaagam Bhag was Akshay Kumar and the one who will feature in this new Rs. 7-crore song will again be Akshay. The song will be part of Akshay Kumar's next release, Singh is Kinng. The movie is complete but for this song, which is soon to be shot in Los Angeles. The song will feature world famous rock star Snoop Dogg along with Akshay. Snoop and his troop are busy planning details of the video at the location and they are reportedly getting something very different ready for the most expensive song in Indian cinema.While the Singh is Kinng has Rs. 7-crore song there is Kambhakth Ishq which is rumored to have a budget of Rs. 90 crores behind it. Akshay Kumar is certainly getting bigger and bigger. Time will tell whether he can live up to the astronomical sums being spent on his films.
Shriya: Exposing for Exposure?
Shriya had been in the news for controversial outfit since the time of Rajinikanth's Sivaji, where she had to issue public apology that she'd be careful in choosing her outfits! Well, she has really been choosing her outfits carefully since then, and the recent coverpage of Maxim proves her "careful choice" of outfits!
Now that she goes international, there seems to be this common presumption that "exposing" should increase as "exposure" increases! Shriya, who has entered the Telugu film industry with a girl-next-door image is now opening doors to controversies with her outfits.
All her recent stills in media indicate that she's deliberately sending out feelers that she's ready to meet the international audiences now! What more, she's starting out into the international domain, barely!

Nagarjuna worried with MAA TV
Yuvasamrat Nagarjuna, who is the chief of MAA TV is said to be getting afraid of Zee Telugu. According to some reliable sources of MAA TV, ever since Zee Telugu has come up with an idea to air recently released films which are 6 months old, Nagarjuna is spending sleepless nights from the past three months.It is reported that in April 2008 many sponsorers and NRI investors were lured y Nagarjuna to invest in his channel. But it is said that since this channel could not attract the viewers in the summer vacations the TRP’s of the channel were only average during the summer season. The programs in this channel are failing to rise. The new set of reality shows like Bommarillu and others are failing to capture the audience.
Even the repeat telecast of Chiranjeevi, Allu arjun, Nagarjuna films are not at all capturing the TRP’s rise. More over till date only Gemini TV was in the competition of Maa TV. But from the past January 2008 Zee Telugu has taken up the charge. Its telecast of new films is making the viewers attracting towards it.
In the coming days many new releases like TULASI, DUBAI SEENU and many more are going to be telecasted in this channel.
Recently ETV Prabhakar who almost left the ETV job has been lured by Nagarjuna to host some shows. It is said that he has been offered a package of 10 percent profit as well as his regular remuneration of each show he hosts.
But one thing is sure; if at all Chiranjeevi enters politics MAA TV will be like an official supporter for him. Previously EX CM Chandrababu was the delicate darling of MAA Channel. Now the post has been given to Chiranjeevi Khandhan.
Kamal Hasan is happy because of two reasons
These days, Kamal is looking very happy. There are two reasons for his happiness. The first one is the collections of Dasavatharam. Though the film received mixed reviews in many corners, the urban viewers still support the film and the producer has already reached the safety point in recovering his investment. Reports say that the Telugu version of Dasavatharam is also doing fair business in the Telugu Box Office.
The second reason is, Kamal got enough investment to test his next novel project after Dasavatharam. It is Marmayogi, a historical film scripted and directed by Kamal himself. Pyramid Saimira has agreed to invest Rs.100 crores on this project and Kamal will make this film on first copy basis.
The launch ceremony will be held in Mumbai Grand Hotel on July 13 amidst Bollywood's top artistes and filmmakers,as revealed by one of Kamal's close associates. Hema Malini is going to play one of Kamal's heroines in this film and the other one is probably Kajol. AR Rehman is signed as the composer for this magnum opus.
Asin set to storm bollywood with Ghazini
Asin Thottu-mkal, in the manner of Hema Malini, Rekha and Sridevi, is set to storm Hindi films with Ghajini opposite Aamir Khan after conquering Telugu and Tamil cinema.Ask her if she is set to become next big Bollywood’s diva from the South, and the actress giggles in embarrassment, “I’m a long way from getting anywhere near Hema, Rekha and Sridevi. But I feel hugely welcome in Mumbai. I don’t know why filmmakers are showing so much interest in me.”
Spirited, spunky and beautiful, Asin (pronounced Ah-sin) shows a sense of humour when she explains her name: “Asin is coined from Sanskrit and English. It means ‘sinless’... like ‘Amala’... without blemish. I hope I live up to my name in Mumbai.”
For now, Mumbai is her home. “But only because my immediate commitments are in Mumbai,” she clarifies. “I’m the brand ambassador for six multi-national companies and the ads need to be shot in Mumbai. Now there are Hindi films too.”
Fortunately, Asin speaks Hindi without that Southern twang that is even now so pronounced in Hema. “I’ve never used a dubbing artiste for any of my films, not even for the Hindi ads, and I’m speaking in my own voice in my first Hindi film Ghajini,” she claims.
“In these days of globalisation, I don’t think language is a barrier. I’m interested in films in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and any other language as long as the projects are exciting.”
She’s aware her shift to Mumbai has given rise to rumours that she’s giving up on South Indian cinema. “That’s untrue,” says Asin defensively. “Whatever I’m today is because of Tamil and Telegu cinema. Why am I expected to choose between Mumbai and the South?”

You can party; you can flirt and have so much fun,” laughs Shriya. Well, what kind of guy will you fall for? “I like guys who have made on their own and are completely passionate about what they do in life.

Amitabh Bachchan - The sexiest vegetarian
Asian maleHardly is there anyone who would differ with this title that has been given to veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) after conducting a survey. Yes, the title is that of the Asia’s sexiest vegetarian male.
Touching that dreadful age line of 60 and already a proud grandfather, Amitabh still retains his charisma and magnetism.

Sexy namitha playing Jagan Mohini
The Telugu audiences could easily remember Jagan Mohini directed by Vithalacharya with Jayamalini playing the title role. The film which hit the screen in 80s did wonders during those days, though the film industry was not so developed technically when compared to today's standards. However, the director made it a celluloid wonder with the help of camera itself.With the availability of graphics and other such gimmicks, the film could be brought out in a more interesting way. Some producers gave a serious thought about this issue and started remaking of Jagan Mohini simultaneously in Telugu and Tamil languages.
In the latest Jagan Mohini, Namitha is playing the title role in place of Jayamalini, while Raja replaced Narasimha Raju. The shooting of the film was formally launched two days ago without any publicity

Review
Story
Govind (Kamal Hassan) is a scientist in USA. He works with the team that develops mass destructing biological weapon. He realizes that a colleague of him is selling such a bio-weapon to a terrorist from another country. In the process, he hides the weapon, but it gets shipped to India. A hit-man called Fletcher (Kamal Hassan) is after Govind. The weapon is clandestinely kept inside the idol of Lord Perumal. Govind pairs up with a girl (Asin) and runs away from Fletcher. Another cop chief (Kamal Hassan) is also after Govind. The rest of the story is all about how Govind gets back the missing bio-weapon.
Artists Performance
Kamal Hassan: Kamal Hassan has done 10 different characters in this film as hero (scientist), villain (hit man - in the lines of Terminator), chief cop, Prez Bush, 12th century Vaishnava priest, a Dalit leader, a Punjabi singer, an old woman, a Japanese martial arts trainer and a tall Muslim. The versatile actor has shown striking variation in all the get-ups. You would not recognize Kamal in the get-ups of villain, Prez Bush, Dalit leader, old woman and Japanese martial arts leader. His histrionics as Vaishnava priest are terrific. The hero and villain characters have the maximum screen time. The characterization of chief cop is the most entertaining followed by the old woman character among the ten characters he donned.
Others: Who will be left in the star cast of the film if Kamal does 10 characters, except for the female leads? Asin is good as Brahmin devotee who accompanies the hero for the sake of Perumal's idol. Mallika Sherawat is alright as the Telugu translator to the villain. Jayaprada did the role of Punjabi singer's wife and has no significant role to play. Napoleon is terrific in the role as Shiva’s devotee. Director P Vasu also did a guest role in the film.
Technical Departments:
Story - screenplay - direction: The basic story line of the film is about how a scientist saved the lives of millions of people by securing the bio-weapon as a hit-man summoned by terrorists chases him. The hit man and the scientist roles are played by Kamal himself and in the process hero meets seven more characters played by the actor. Since all these characters are played by Kamal, these characters are given more footage and much importance than usual. Hence, the story of the film takes the back seat to highlight Kamal’s Dasavatarams. Direction is not satisfactory. Screenplay is little confusing. The 12th century episode is well-shot. The connection between the 12th century episode intro and the climax is not clearly explained. Another flaw in the film is that the hero would be tossing around the idol of God throughout the film on the pretext of saving the world. The story writer incorporated majority of Indian religions (Hindu, Muslim, Christian and Sikh) in the film.
Other departments: Music by Himesh Reshmiyya is just average. The popular song – loka nayakuda – comes only during the end credits of the film. Mukunda Mukunda song is good. Background music by Devi Sri Prasad is adequate. Cinematography is good. Make-up department deserves a special mention for its extraordinary work. Editing is alright. Dialogues are just OK. Graphic work and special effects in certain scenes should have been better. The production values are extraordinary.
Analysis: The movie starts with an interesting episode set in the 12th century backdrop. Then the movie's tempo goes down till the character of cop enters. From then, the movie is interesting till the interval. The second half is not good. The climax is little interesting. The plus point of the film is Kamal Hassan. The minus point of the film is about diluting the story to give importance to all ten characters in the film. People go to a movie to watch Kamal Hassan. Half of the characters donned by him do not look like Kamal Hassan at all. Then why does he have to don those characters? On a whole, Dasavatharam disappoints a bit!

Review
Story
Chandu (Ram), an engineering student, falls in love with Pooja (Genelia), an NRI who comes to visit her uncles in Rayalaseema. A mistaken identity makes Chandu kidnap Pooja who is about to get married. The rest of the story is all about how Chandu sends Pooja back to her place and how he marries her by convincing elders.
Artists Performance
Actors: Ram looked fine in his role and he seamlessly executed the same. His dance in the first song is very good. The scenes in the second half where Ram makes Brahmanandam a bakra are entertaining. Genelia is an asset to the film and the dubbing of Savita Reddy goes well with her. Brahmanandam as McDowell Murthy steals the show yet again with his hilarious comedy in the second half. He is like the second hero of the film. After Dhee and Krishna, this is the third film where he had the crowds in splits. Sunil did the role of a 'theda candidate'. His bharatanatyam (spoof of Sagara Sangamam) and the way he slaps himself is good (typical Seenu Vytla brand). The third impressive characterization comes from the kid who acts as JP's grandson. Jayaprakash Reddy and Kota are good. Nassar and Sudha in parental roles are adequate. The way Surekha scolding her son to vent frustration on JP is humorous. Tamanna and Navadeep did guest appearances.
Technical Departments:
Story - screenplay - direction: Story of the film is intricate. The screenplay in the second half delivered the much required punch. You do not see Seenu Vytla brand of comedy in the first half except for a couple of scenes with Sunil. Most of the second half belongs to Seenu Vytla. The way he introduced Brahmanandam and made him an integral part in the second half is strategic. He extracted solid performance from Brahmanandam without being repetitive. Direction of Seenu Vytla is good in the second half.
Other departments: Songs and background score by Devi Sri Prasad is good. The bonhomie song towards climax is a good on the screen. Dialogues in the film are in good health, away from vulgarity. We do except a better cinematography for a film of this stature. The money spent on the film could not reflect on its visuals, showing mediocre output in patches in certain scenes. Fights by Peter Hynes are well choreographed, but the script of the film does not really demand such buildup. Editing of the film is passable and the first half needs some trimming. Production values by Sravanthi banner are very good.
Analysis: First half of the film is mediocre. The second half is good with hilarious comedy by Brahmanandam. On the flipside, a better editing of first half and some of the fights would do something good to the film. This film is stuffed with ample commercial elements, mainly the vibrant comedy. Ready has potential chances to bring a hat-trick for Seenu Vytla after Dhee and Dubai Seenu. This film is worth a watch for the comedy.
Tamanna has no time for Allu Arjun
Post Happy Days, Tamanna is the busiest actress both in Tollywood and Kollywood.

It is said that she has been chosen to play opposite Allu Arjun in his upcoming film a sequel to Aarya.Tamanna denies the rumors. “How can I do more than four films at a time?

Rajnikanth kathanayakudu to release on on july 25th
Finally the word is out. It‘s official and confirmed. Rajinikanth‘s much-awaited ‘Kathanayakudu’, a remake of Malayalam hit ‘Katha Parayumbol’, will hit the screens on 25 July.
Addressing media persons in Chennai on Wednesday, director P Vasu said, ‘the shooting is complete and dubbing is going on right now. Re-recording will commence from Monday‘.
The story is about two childhood friends who go different ways in their life as they grow up into adulthood. One ends up a poor barber struggling to make both ends meet and the other as a ‘superstar‘ in the movies. What happens when the two meet after all those years holds the crux, he said.
Jagapathy Babu plays the poor barber and needless to say Rajini plays the superstar. Prabhu, Nayantara, Meena, Sneha and Kushboo are also in the cast.
Produced jointly by K Balachander‘s Kavithalaya Films and M P Vijayakumar‘s Seven Arts Films, ‘Kathanayakudu’ has cinematography by Aravindh Krishna and musical score by G V Prakash.According to Vasu, ‘the audio rights of ‘Kathanayakudu’ have been lapped up by Big Music for Rs 2.25 crore, while Pyramid Saimira has acquired the movie‘s distribution rights for a huge sum.‘
Plans are on to release the audio of ‘Kathanayakudu’ on 30 June. A grand function will be held in Chennai in which popular South Indian directors would take part.
The movie was shot in Hyderabad Ramoji Rao Film Studio, exotic locales of Pollachi, Udumalpet and interior parts of Kerala.
Adds Vasu, ‘ Rajinikanth‘s contribution to the movie is immense. He was very co-operative. We managed to complete the shooting of both ‘Kuselan’ and ‘Kathanayakudu’ in Telugu in just 82 days. Pasupathi plays the character played by Jagapathy Babu in the Tamil version. Vadivelu is also in the cast in the Tamil version‘.
‘G V Prakash‘s music is a major highlight of the movie. The 22-year-old boy has come up with stunning music and Rajinikanth himself appreciated him. So is Aravindh Krishna‘s cinematography‘.
Vasu says, ‘the movie has been completed so early thanks to my producers Kavithalaya and Seven Arts Vijayakumar.‘
Get ready to be dazzled by ‘Kathanayukudu’ this July, asserts a happy Vasu.
