Now, Retorts For Pawan Kalyan


If one could remember Pawan Kalyan had commented on Rajshekar that the actor cannot speak proper Telugu, this had Rajshekar completely shaken and in his trademark style had his wife retort to Pawan Kalyan's remarks.

Now, after much deliberation he has the incident inserted in his upcoming film Satyameva Jayate, and now he claims that he has an appropriate retort for Pawan Kalyan in the movie.

That's interesting, but one doubt largely lurks in the audience's mind, and that is, if the retort (hopefully in Telugu) would be in Rajshekar's own voice, or in a dubbed voice? Rajshekar could make efforts to clarify on this aspect also.

Kajal's Success Definition


You might have seen naughty looking actresses or sexy looking starlets but then here is one girl who is a combination of both. She knows how to flaunt her oomph and at the same time she knows how to ooze out naughtiness with her expressive eyes.

She is none other than Kajal Agarwal, who has now become one of the most sought after actress in the Telugu circuit.

Meanwhile, she shared her thoughts on what she calls success, Kajal says success for her is being satisfied and being happy, everything in life would fall in place if a person is happy, these are indeed real words of wisdom from a young girl.

JD's 'Siddham' coming on 12th Feb


After a successful outing in 'Homam', director JD Chakravarthy is coming back with 'Siddham' said to be a sequel starring Jagapathi Babu and Sindhu Menon in the main cast. It has been produced by Koneru Kiran Kumar on Shreya Productions banner.

The plot is about an episode in a cop's life which is based on real life police men Dayanayak and PSR Anjaneyulu. Speaking to the media, JD said, "Jagapathi Babu enacts the role of a vigilant and valorous cop who doesn't refrain from encounter if need arises. He's of the view that 'A doctor medicates…an engineer builds and I am to Kill', which is for justice."

Disparate from the usual cop stories, in 'Siddham' the police officer doesn't have any personal vengeance but only for his job against the criminals. Interestingly, there are no songs in this film to maintain the fast pace all along.

Sindhu Menon who plays the female lead has a lot of scope to perform. The message conveyed by 'Siddham' is it might be easy to face death but not to take life out of someone. We have one more cop story ready to encounter the screens this February.

Jagapathi Babu refused at first: ‘Dil’ Raju


‘Aakasamantha’ produced by ‘Dil’ Raju on Sri Venkateshwara Creations banner has Jagapathi Babu playing a prominent role in the film. Directed by Radha Mohan, Prakash Raj and Trisha enact the role of a father and daughter in the movie.

During a recent press meet producer ‘Dil’ Raju said, “We had a special character in the film which has ample scope to perform. I later sent the DVD of the Tamil version of ‘Aakasamantha’ title ‘Abhiyum Naanum’ to Jagapthi Babu and asked his consent to do the role. He called me and refused to accept my proposal.”

‘He said as he is playing hero at present in three films, he might not suit the cameo. In another effort keeping our longtime acquaintance in mind, I approached him for a second opinion and said it would be a valuable addition for the film. After a few minutes of deep thinking, he agreed and I am thankful for him consenting to my request.’

We are making efforts to complete the shooting by February and release the film for Ugadi on March 27, said Raju.

'House Full' fills houses on 14th


In the direction of debutant Ajay Bhuyan, ‘House Full’ produced by director turned producer Chandra Siddharth stars Gauri Pandit, Vipin, Vega, Aryan in the main cast.

The movie completed shooting and is getting ready for release on 14th February during Valentine's Day.

The movie has been made as an end-to-end entertainer which has a comical storyline. Even though, the title depicts the film industry the plot is no way related to cinema. If you are curious watch the film on screen to know the relevance of the title. We are sure the movie will render an altogether fresh experience for the movie goers. The characters are designed in such a way that every one of it has its own prominence, according to the director.

Other cast of the film includes Naini Dixit, Ali, Dhramavarapu Subrahmanyam, RK and Ambati Srinu

Strong Legs Of Sexy Beauty


Till date she has been known as the slender beauty with the most seductive and luscious pair of hips that perhaps no one in the film industry has got in the southern circuit. True to her flower vase shape, she has been the ruling queen of Tollywood and she had her own share of disapproval from the nativity loving audience who want to see flesh everywhere.

She is none other than Ileana and this pretty Goan beauty has shown what she is made of recently when she walked in with a rather enticing short gown. Those who were around could not help seeing their mouths go dry as this babe had one of the most strongest and luscious legs that anybody imagined.

Till date, folks were stumped looking at her sweet face and sharp looks and not to forget her mind blowing hips but this appearance of Ileana has turned the tables and one is unable to go above her knees looking at the strong and muscular legs that were well toned. That's Ileana for you folks.

Prince' to have a resort in Goa


How lucky is to have a wife who understands you. And, how luckier is to have a wife who constructs a resort on your name, that too, in Goa! 'Prince' Maheshbabu is soaring high these days after the news of his wife Namrata constructing a highly sophisticated resort on his name in Goa, has spread like fire. The resort would be ready for occupation after February. Meanwhile, it is learnt that there was a small disturbance in their family since Namrata was mounting pressure on Mahesh to do films in Bollywood and shift his base to Mumbai. Will he be toying with this idea?

Tollywood Heroine In Sex-Racket


Remember the movie 'Adavi Ramudu' or Prabhas! A girl keeps on telling the dialogue 'neeko sangathi cheppana'… Or else can you recall the films Sakutumba Sapirivara Sametham of SV Krishna Reddy in which she played lead role? Or else at least try to make out the lady from the picture above.

She also acted in the films Kunkuma, Ayudham, Adhipathi and Madhumasam. She is Seema, the actress who was caught red handed when she was actually participating in sex along with other Mumbai girls. She is the actual head of that brothel company in apartments at Tarnaka, Hyderabad. Her mother Adi Lakshmi was also helping her to run this business.

That is a very expensive sex-scandal where Seema used to pay Rs 30,000 per week for Mumbai girls. It is said that she earned anywhere between Rs 5 to 6 lakh a month.

Rajni Romances Ash In Peru


After romancing Ash in a Mercedes Benz, Rajnikanth apparently has taken her off to Peru for a romantic song, all this for their upcoming Tamil movie Robo which is being directed by Shankar.

Ashwariya Rai looked very beautiful in blue, brown, and green South American attires for the movie; incidentally the film has also been shot in Brazil also. Ash and Rajni were seen matching step for step for the sequences of the song, which also involves a big troupe of background dancers.

Ash was especially seen enjoying every bit of the dancing, having a great time with Rajni and the other costars, Shankar on the other hand seemed every bit pleased with the progress of the film, and expressed hope that it would release on time and meet the expectation of Rajni's fans.

Ram Charan's New Look in New Movie


Ram Charan was recently spotted at the Sitara film awards function, and one could not recognize him at the first go, the actor seemed to have a completely transformed look from his first film Chiruta, though the long hair and beard have always been his trademark, this time around they have both grown longer.

As a matter of fact, so long is the hair now that a pony could easily be made out of it, Ram Charan also looked a shade older than what he is, and he also seems to have added a mature and serious demeanor to his personality.

Sure, Ram Charan looked every bit stylish in his new trademark look; he really seems to be developing a style of his own, different from the present lot of heroes.

The expensive Shriya


Kanthaswamy was almost complete except for a song. Recently, the crew was at Italy shooting a song sequence featuring Vikram and Shriya.

This song sequence witnessed Shriya adorned with a costume worth a jaw dropping amount of Rs. 26 lakhs.

Lo behold, this is not the end. She was wearing diamond jewelry costing a whopping Rs. 6 crores. It was reported that the hiring charge alone for the jewels was Rs. 5 lakhs per day.

The crew was heard saying that they had canned the film in places in Italy which has not been visited hitherto by any film team. Kanthaswamy, directed by Susi Ganesan and produced by Thanu, is turning out to be a very expensive project indeed.

Vivek's top honors


The prestigious and coveted Padma awards were announced by the Union Government of India on the eve of the Republic Day.

The noted film personalities that were selected for this award were Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Tamil comedy actor Vivek.

Vivek is known for his comedy tracks that deliver good messages to the general public and he also tries to create awareness about issues like bribery, corruption, pollution etc. According to the actor his inspiration to handle such subjects is Kalaivanar N S Krishnan.

The date of the awards ceremony is expected to be announced soon. The awards will be handed out by the President of India, Pratiba Patil.

Second time for Priyamani?


Priyamani bagged the best actress award for Paruthi Veeran. Following this she has acted in both mainstream and art films.

Recently, the actress has completed a Malayalam film titled Thiraikatha which deals with the life of an actress between 1982 and 2000. She is reported to have been inspired by the late Srividya for her role and has tried to emulate her completely from the way of dressing to body language and emoting styles. Priya is very confident that she would once again win the national award for this film.

She is also very happy with the way her career is shaping up. She is currently doing Mani Ratnam’s Ashoka Vanam for which she was in Jhansi in Madhya Pradesh.

Through this film, she will be foraying into Bollywood. Her Arumugam with Bharath will soon hit the screens. In Telugu, she is on the verge of completing Drona and N T Balakrishna’s film.

Arya the Casanova


After completing Naan Kadavul, Arya has gone on to wrap Sarvam with Vishnu Vardhan and will soon be setting his feet in Ende Keralam with Roshan Andrews of Udayanu Tharum and Notebook fame.

This project is titled Casanova and has Mohanlal as the hero. Arya is said to be playing a key role in the film. Casanova was launched amidst a lot of fanfare in Bengaluru recently. The function was attended by Mohanlal, Arya, Priyadarshan, Joshi, Sibi Malayil and many dignitaries from Mollywood.

Roshan Andrews while speaking at the launch function told that though Mohanlal is the hero, Arya’s role will also be pivotal and crucial in the film. The genre of the film is action thriller.

Casanova has Meera Jasmine, Lakshmi Rai in addition to four models as heroines. The movie is set to go on floors from April 10th and is getting ready on a ten crore budget. The crew has plans to shoot in exotic locales in Venice and Austria. Arya is said to have given a straight 40-day call sheet for the film.

Gautham Menon tries to rope in Salman Khan


What is Gautham Menon’s next project after Vaaranam Aayiram? This is the question that most of his fans would love to get an answer.

While some say that he will complete his already delayed Chennaiyil Oru Mazhaikaalam, looks like the director has other plans.

According to Gautham, he has a new script ready and will disclose all details regarding the project next week.

The director added that after completing this venture he would start work on a Bollywood film. Gautham said that he is discussing the Bollywood film with Salman Khan and it is expected to go on the floors in August.

It is said that A.R. Rahman will compose the theme music for the upcoming Champions’ League T20 tournament! It is also heard that he will take a small break from composing music for films to concentrate on this theme music. He plans to make it very energetic and inspiring! Some say that he will compose a symphony and others say he will stick to his “techno-innovations”! Well, we will know what he is up to pretty soon as the Champions’ League starts on December 3rd. IPL is also planning to make an attractive video featuring many famous cricketers for the theme to be composed by A.R. Rahman. Not just T20, A.R. Rahman will also compose the theme music of the Commonwealth Games to be held at New Delhi in 2010.

Endhiran in Chennai

It is heard that director Shankar is holding the shooting of Endhiran (also referred to as Enthiran and formerly known as Robot) on East Coast Road. Actually, the Endhiran crew should have been filming a few scenes pertaining to Rajni and Aishwarya Rai in Kulu Manali as per their original schedule, but this change of plan is because Aishwarya Rai is working in Kerala in Mani Ratnam’s Ravana and Ashokavanam. So Shankar decided that he will go ahead with the portions involving Rajinikanth without waiting for the slender and beautiful Aishwarya Rai. We have to appreciate Shankar’s empathy and patience. He has been making quite a lot of adjustments in Endhiran’s schedule for Aishwarya Rai's sake – he feels grateful to her for agreeing to act in his film despite her preoccupation with Mani Ratnam’s bilingual. Also, one cannot help marveling at Shankar’s ingenuity and flexibility; if one plan goes down, there is always a plan B or C for him and they have all been very meticulously planned. But the industry is surprised as this could be the first time a Rajinikanth film is facing change of schedule due to a heroine’s non-availability! Well, there is not much sting in this surprise as the heroine in question is Aishwarya Rai! It is also heard that this stop-gap action will be for two weeks; a considerable portion of the film which involves Rajinikanth will be shot during this period.

Selva Raghavan to direct NTR

Junior NTR, N.T. Rama Rao’s other grandson, is now busy with a film being directed by V.V. Vinayak. After this film, it is reliably learnt that he is going to be the hero in a film to be directed by Selva Raghavan, who loved the beautiful love story narrated by the director. Selva Raghavan has directed two hit films 7G Brindavan Colony and Aadavari Matalaku Ardhale Verule (AMAV). This will be his second ‘straight’ Telugu film after AMAV. Singanamala Ramesh will be producing the Junior NTR-Selva Raghavan flick. Already Singanamala Ramesh is producing two big budget films with Pawan Kalyan under S.J. Suryah’s direction and with Maheshbabu under Trivikram Srinivas’ direction. The Pawan Kalyan-S.J. Suryah flick was first titled Puli; then the title was changed to Komaram Puli. Pawan Kalyan has been sporting a fearsome moustache for this role.

Naa Anevaadu in November

Naa Anevaadu (‘Okkadunte Chalu’) stars Rajiv Kanakala, Harish and Tanuja, whose beauty captivates both heroes in the movie. Produced and directed by Prashanta Reddy and produced under Sadguru Sai Creations banner, the film revolves around friendship and provides a good definition for what an ideal friendship should be like. Prashanta commented, “The shooting and post production has been wrapped up and the first copy is ready. The movie narrates the story of two friends; we are portraying the consequences of selfless friendship and love in this film. Every possible element like love, friendship and other emotions are present. Rajiv's performance will move every one.” Bhanuchandar, M.S. Narayan, Srinivas Reddy, Velu and Chitram Srinu are the supporting star cast. Surya has handled the camera, Saket Sairam has composed the music and writer Mohan has penned the dialogues. The co-producers are Venugopal and Lakshma Reddy who also does the production work. All five songs in the album were appreciated by listeners and the album is doing very well on the charts. The movie is planned for release in November.

Sexy Starlet's Demands Spell Doom



She has been rated as one of the most sensuous and slender beauties once upon a time and she has paired up with some of the top most heroes during her prime. She is none other than Kasturi who was seen in movies like 'Bharateeyudu' and many other movies. However, things have changed for her now.
There is news that this pretty girl had a plush job with a production house but her strong desire to get back to movies pushed her to a new method. Those directors who came to her with stories to get funding from Kasturi's employers were given a condition from this actress that they must take her as the second heroine. This kind of got them finding their heels in fear.
In no time, the news reached her bosses and as expected, Kasturi was said to be seen walking with the relieving letter in her hand. So right now, she has lost her high profile job and she is currently being seen as one among five heroines for a Tamil flick. Guess this is a learning point for many.

Robot Shooting Photos leaked agin




Robo Stills leaked agin.Now a days its become most common in indian film industry such as leakage of shooting spot photos, songs and story etc. to create a small and cheap publicity and hipe.A well known telugu super star and Star producer also played the same trick by placing his 3 audio songs in net before releasing the music.But the audio became super hit because of good music only.Not by the trick.Its second time that leakage of Robo photos in internet.Its ok for the first time.But what about second time are they this much innocent that how to protect their data.We don't expect that a legend director like shankar plays this tricks.We hope that Shankar concentrate on his film not this cheap tricks.

Why Chiru is bothered about NTR?



Why is Praja Rajyam party president Chiranjeevi making so much fuss about Telugu Desam party carrying N T Rama Rao's portrait during its election campaign?
According to TD leaders, the answer is simple: If TD highlights NTR during its campaign, people would definitely draw a comparison between him and Chiranjeevi. Already, Chiru's speeches have failed to generate any enthusiasm among the people, as they are dull and drab. They are coming in large numbers to his meetings, but they are finding that his speeches do not have any punch and sting that NTR used to have.
And once Balakrishna enters the scene and goes about with his road shows with NTR's portrait in the backdrop, people will definitely get attracted towards him. Hence, Chiru is raking up the issue of NTR to convey to the people that the NTR legacy in TD had already been lost.

Yoga Teacher Beats Hour-Glass Beauty

Whenever there are two heroines in one league, the obvious reaction is to see who is better amongst them. In this, the criteria is more on the looks and the shapes that provide a visual delight and appeal to the viewers, after all, that is what glamour is all about.
So the two names that are currently in the race for this right now is the voluptuous beauty Anushka and the slender beauty with the seductive hips Ileana. While Anushka has been more on the fleshier side with extra oomph and a nativity appeal that really stomps the heart, Ileana is more glamorous and sophisticated with piercing looks and sharp features.
However, the folks have decided that it is Anushka who has more of an appeal and some give the credit to this beauty's yoga training that makes her more desirable than the slender sizzler from Goa. For now, Ileana is resting at her place in Goa so it remains to be seen if she has added few extra pounds to herself and look more ravishing.

Arundhati Problem In B, C Centers


It is known news that the only name that is currently making rounds among the audience and the film folk is 'Arundhati'. The film has turned out to be a major success and a blockbuster also is looking imminent for it. However, there seems to be a technical glitch that might hamper its success.Apparently, the film's main strength lies in the audio and sound effects to bring about the kind of fear and chill elements. However, almost 90% of the theatres in B and C centres are not equipped with the right kind of sound system and the situation is said to be even worse in the C centres.This has led to a rather milder response as compared to the A centres and experts say that the maximum mileage can now be generated only from the A centers if they are looking at a major record breaker. This should be a challenge of sorts and also an eye opener to those who are not focused on improvising their theatre infrastructure.

Second coming for Moncia Bedi


Actress Monica Bedi talks to PT about her forthcoming reality show, films and ishq-vishq. This gutsy gal has risen from the biggest disaster of her life, like a proverbial Phoenix and is now gearing up to take up the challenges of tinseltown like a true-blue professional. And this time, actress Monica Bedi is not willing to get distracted, come what may. PT catches up with her to know the aces that she has up her sleeves.Try probing her on the “close friendship” that she shared with her house mate Rahul Mahajan and Monica goes on the back foot. After a pregnant pause, she says, “Honestly speaking, Rahul and I haven’t even met after coming out of the Bigg Boss’s house, except at award functions.” Do we detect a flicker of disappointment here? “I am starting my second stint in the glam world and I really have no time for a man.Love is a full- time job and I can’t afford that luxury at this critical point. So, there is no point in meeting Rahul when I am not prepared for a commitment. But, we talk on the phone,” she confesses. And, what about all that flirting that took place in the house? “I never took Rahul’s flirting seriously. He’s just a naughty and harmless friend and he’s doing quite well as a judge on children’s show Chhote Miyan. I’m proud of him!” says Monica with a laugh.What are the professional assignments that are keeping her so busy these days? Perking up, the actress says, “I am getting a lot of women-oriented roles. But, I would rather opt for quality than quantity. My new television reality show is starting from February and two of my films will go on the floors in March. But, there’s a confidentiality clause, which prohibits me from giving the details. I am looking forward to a happy and busy phase in life! Having shifted to my new apartment, I now have quite a few neighbours who hail from film and television industry. It’s heartening to feel their warmth, and I have finally come out of my shell,” she signs off.

Farzana’s stunt tips


Actress Farzana is a well known dancer in the industry but very few know her skills in choreographing stunts.
The debutant heroine of ‘Nidhi’ Prasad’s ‘Bhagya Lakshmi Bumper Draw’ became famous after sharing screen space with ‘Allari’ Naresh in ‘Seema Sastry’ and ‘Bommana Brothers Chandana Sisters’. She continued her good run with the last release ‘Kuberulu’.
She has also ventured in Tamil industry and is now playing the lead in ‘1977’ opposite Sharath Kumar. Quite different from the recent time heroines who just appear on screen, Farzana has took efforts to undergo training in mountaineering and bungee jumping. She surprised everyone on the sets with her tips and advice for filming the action scenes.

I don’t sulk for too long says Rahil Azam

Actor Rahil Azam talks about his workout regime, his daily diet, his happiness quotient and his idea of relaxation
People don’t realise that over doing workouts are bad. I work out four days a week to keep myself fit. But if I’ve to shed weight or get into a particular physique for a role, I hit the gym six days a week. That’s what I have been doing of late. I’m trying to balance between cardio exercises and weights. My workout sessions always include cardio, but not more than 20 minutes. Many don’t know that even cardio exercises shouldn’t be overdone. Whenever I can, I try to cycle to the gym and back. I love walking and always make it a point to take stairs. I regularly used to practice martial arts but, it’s not happening now. I want to start with it again. I’m also planning to do yogasanas which really help you relax.

Right now, I’m looking forward to losing some weight so have been concentrating on my protein intake. So my diet is definitely more proteins, especially in the night and very little carbs. Even if I feel like having something heavy, it’s before six in the evening. I drink a lot of water and have a fruit or two every day. I think one fruit for the day is more than enough and that too only after my workout. But now, I have started concentrating on vegetables. My dinner consists lots of vegetable with small pieces of breast chicken.

Small things give me happiness. It doesn’t take me too long to get happy. Even a small gesture like a smile makes me glad. I don’t sulk for long and don’t expect people to pamper me. And even if I’m irritated for a long time, it doesn’t take more than a minute to smile. But I’m happy the most when my parents appreciate my work or when I know I’ve done everything right.

I don’t get stressed often to relax. But it happens when I feel I’m not satisfied. This is when I get back home and ask my cook to make me chai —- my stress-buster potion. For me it’s ghar and ghar ki chai. I’m not the kind of person who would go to coffee shops to de-stress. I’d rather call my friend over and offer him also a cuppa tea argue, discuss and find solutions with him. Speak it out —- this is my idea of relaxation.

Arundhati: Tamil version on February 20th

If a film is a hit in Tamil, it will automatically get dubbed in the other 3 South Indian languages. But will the dubbed version becomes a hit as well? Only time will tell. But sometimes, the producers and distributors are pleasantly surprised when the dubbed versions earn more name, fame and money than the original.

Producer Shyam Prasad Reddy has decided to dub the mega budget graphical extravaganza Arundhati in Tamil. The film has not broken records and created new ones. So it is no surprise that Tamil production houses are queuing up with offers running in crores to acquire the Tamil dubbing rights of Arundhati. But the producer still has to decide if he will release the dubbed version himself or sell the rights.

The dubbed version is planned for a February 20th release.

Tamannaah in the remake of Jab We Met


So Tamannaah has finally accepted to act in the Tamil remake of Jab We Met (Hindi), reprising the role of Kareena Kapoor, considered as one of her finest movies. With a meaty role to play with hero Shahid Kapoor, Kareena's acting appreciated for her touching portrayal of the bubbly Geet.

Tamannaah's first film was Sree (Telugu); later, she became popular through Happy Days. She is equally busy in Tamil with several films like Padikathavan with Dhanush which released recently, Ayan with Suriya and Anandha Thandavam (both still to releasee). Her Konchem Ishtamga Konchem Kashtamga (Telugu) opposite Siddharth is ready to hit the screens.

Swathi-Kamal in Kalavaramaye Madilo


Mohan Media Creations which produced Mental Krishna, has launched Kalavaramaye Madilo with Swathi (Ashta Chemma heroine) and Kamal Kamaraju (Avakaya Biryani hero, also spelt Avakai Biriyani) in the lead. It will be produced by Mohan Vadlapatla and directed by Satish of Hope fame.

At the official launch on January 22nd at Annapoorna Studios, Hyderabad, producer Dil Raju released the logo of this film. Dil Raju had registered the title previously but gave it to Mohan Vadlapatla and Satish when he heard the film's story and thought this title would suit their script. The director thanked Dil Raju for his magnimonius gesture on the occasion of the film's muhurat. Satish also thanked Vadlapatla for agreeing to produce Kalavaramaye Madilo

Kamal Kamaraju said that he had bagged a different kind of role from that of Avakai Biryani. He also praised the entire team of Kalavaramaye Madilo for their dedication. He said, “Kalavaramaye Madilo is about an aspiring singer, played by Swathi.”

Malayalam music director Sarath is setting Vanamali's lyrics to music while dialogues are being penned by Lakshmi Bhupal.

Trisha romances Gopichand


After a good year in Kollywood, Trisha has turned her attention to cement her position as top heroine in Telugu. She rounded off 2008 with Abhiyum Naanum (Tamil) a 'multiplex' hit and Kuruvi (Tamil). In Telugu, she ended the year with the mega-hit King starring Nagarjuna. Now she has signed up a film with Gopichand, one of the hottest young Andhra hunks in recent years. With his unconventional good looks, Gopichand plays an angry young man very convincingly.

Kajal Aggarwal was be Gopichand's heroine in his next movie directed by Siva (who had directed Souryam). But since her prior commitments didn't leave her with enough time for Gopichand's film, Kajal backed off and Trisha was selected.

This untitled film is unique for two reasons. One is that Trisha is acting with Gopichand for the first time and the other is that after over 20 years, Satyaraj is returning to Telugu films as Gopichand's father.

Bhagawan Das and Pulla Rao will be producing this film.

'Item songs are necessary for all films these days'


In memory of her famous husband -- cinematographer Jeeva -- his wife Anees Tanveer started a production house -- Vision Jeeva Studios.
Now the company is ready with its first production Muthirai, a Tamil film, which is being made in association with ASA Productions and Enterprises Pvt Ltd.

Presented by Vikram Bhatt, the drama stars Nithin Sathya, Daniel Balaji, Lakshmi Rai and Manjari Phadnis (of Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na fame) in the lead roles. Kishore of Polladhavan fame plays an important role while Bollywood actress Rakhi Sawant makes a special appearance.

The film is directed by Srinath while Jeeva's assistant Salim is the cinematographer.

Anees, who wrote screenplay of the film, tells Shobha Warrier what to expect from the film.

Was it Jeeva?s dream to start a production house, or was it in his memory that you decided to launch Vision Jeeva Studios?

Jeeva and I had talked about starting a production house so that we could make films that we believed in. We also wanted to give a chance to young people. It took me some time to get over (the death of Jeeva). I decided to start a production house as it is the only way to keep myself going would be to remain connected to films.

Due to the grace of God, I met up with a few people and everything clicked fast. I tied with ASA Productions. Vikram Bhatt is the creative director of the company.

What exactly will his role be as a creative director?

He is the person who approves the projects to be done by the ASA. I think at present he decides only Hindi films. Slowly, they will branch out to Tamil also. They have tied up with me for the South. Vikram and I will decide which would be the right projects to back and go ahead with.

Apparently, when the hot Malayalam beauty Asin was finalized for the leading lady's role, there was an issue of dates for Asin and a dilemma prevailed for a while. In this stop gap period, Genelia's name popped up, she was roped in and even few days of shooting also took place with Aamir Khan.

However, Aamir began to feel a bit queasy since he felt that Genny's appearance in 'Jaane Tu.. Ya Jaane Na' would register a different impact on the audience and this would affect their screen chemistry. Coincidentally, Asin came up with her availability at the same time.
