Anushka dares to bare!

Anushka, the shapely ex-yoga teacher turned top heroine, is all primed to do what Nayantara has done, i.e. walk down to a swimming pool in an itsy-bitsy bikini. A while back, we carried news that Anushka was OK with a bikini scene as long as the script required it.

Baby Shamili debuts opposite Siddarth

generally supposed that child artistes turn into lead stars after they grow up. Baby Shamili, who wowed audiences with her superlative performance in the Mani Rathnam directed ’Anjali’ as a mentally challenged child, seemed to defy the rule. Sister of Shalini Ajithkumar and Richard, this pretty young girl was approached by many directors to play the heroine in their flicks. However, their efforts turned futile. 
 

Now, a debut director in Telugu, Anand Ranga has managed to rope in Shamili as the heroine for his film which has Siddarth playing the hero. Anand Ranga, who has worked as an associate for the blockbuster hit ’Bommarillu’, is said to have impressed Shamili with the story. This made Shamili to sign on the dotted line. 
 

The film, which is touted to start rolling in the first week of October, is being produced by DVV Danayya under the banner Universal Media

SALEEM-vishnu and mohan babu acting together?

History says that the recorded evidence of father and son fighting a real battle to death were the legendary Sohrab and Rustum. Now, one such thing is going to happen in the modern day era and that too in our very own Telugu industry. The duo we are talking about is none other than Mohan Babu and his son Vishnuvardhan Babu.
Now, before you press the panic button and ensure that this turns out to be big let us clear the air for you. All this is happening in the forthcoming film 'Saleem' and while Vishnu is playing hero, Mohan Babu is donning the role of a villain. The glamour quotient for this film will be filled by the slender beauty Ileana
This will be an interesting treat to watch since both Vishnu and Mohan Babu have always worked as a team and it will be a crucial point to note how the chemistry between both on a negative spark will work. It also shoulders on director Y V S Choudhary to actually come up with that sync between the two

Trisha is currently working on three movies namely, King with Nagarjuna in Telugu, Chennayil Oru Mazhai Kaalam with Gautham Menon, and Sarvam with Vishnuvardhan. Right now, she is busy shuffling the dates to accommodate the new film. There are a couple of other actresses in the film but the lead heroine opposite Kamal is Trisha.
