Getting up and close with Shriya!

Glam babe Shriya Saran opens up and here are some interesting glimpses of her life. She was very keen to learn Kathak from Shovana Narayan. She met Shovana in Delhi and became her student. She performed in Shovana’s troupe and caught the eye of someone who was making a music video in Varanasi. She went on to do it and this was seen by a Telugu filmmaker who cast her in her first Telugu film. However, she considers her second film her real break. This was the film Santosham where she paired opposite Nagarjuna. From then on, the rest is history.

She candidly admits that she has been infatuated with every actor she works with. She especially has a soft corner for Nagarjuna whom she dubs a sweetheart. She was introduced to Vipassana by his wife and regularly follows it.

On the question of marriage, she does not seem to have found her Mr.Right yet. She opines that,”I would like him to be someone who is a friend, someone who I can grow with mentally, spiritually and emotionally.”

Who’s the next Basha of Tamil cinema?

Superstar Rajinikanth’s blockbuster Basha created B.O. history and also has gone down the annals of Tamil cinema. Rajinikanth who played the role of a Mumbai don and has a very stylish look, distinct mannerisms and some great punchlines that are still recalled.  Needless to say, Basha went on to become a cult classic.

Basha’s director  Suresh Krishna wants to recreate the magic once more with a sequel. He has completed the entire scripting for the sequel we hear. He had approached Superstar for this but he has declined, disappointing not just the director but Rajini’s fans too.

Now the director is planning to cast Thala Ajith in the flick. Ajith is currently shooting for Sirutha Siva’s untitled film with Shruti Haasan. He seems to be very impressed with the script and might soon sign on the dotted line. We are sure he can do complete justice to this larger-than-life role.

Rajinikanth’s secret out of the bag?

Unlike his onscreen look, off screen, the Superstar prefers to be just what he is. He does not even dye his hair. His next film is with Director Ranjith and the buzz is that he plays an aging gangster in the flick.

Rajinikanth’s recent flick Linga was a disaster and he failed quite a bit when he tried to match dance moves with the youthful Sonakshi. This upcoming film where he plays a character closer to his age will make it more realistic and accepted better by the audiences.

Recently, Rajinikanth who is usually reclusive met the media to condole legendary Music Director, M.S. Viswanathan’s death. He was spotted sporting a thick white beard and this gave rise to speculations that this would probably be his look in his upcoming flick.

Moroccan sizzler Nora is the toast of Tollywood!

The stunning sirens of the silver screen have always been part of the Tollywood fantasy. Moroccan model Nora Fatehi shot into the limelight with a sizzling number in Puri Jagganadh’s Temper. Not only was the number a big hit, she drew a large fan following. Her debut film Roar: Tiger of the Sundarbans did not fare too well at the b.o. but her dance numbers have captured the imagination of the audience.

Nora now has some biggies in her kitty. She will dance in Ravi Teja's next and post that she has a hot number in Kalyan Ram's upcoming film, Sher lined up. We hear that this  music was composed by SS Thaman and has a peppy beat with a folk element. Nora has already started shooting.

She also was part of Bahubali. She suffered a wardrobe malfunction on the sets when her top came off suddenly before the camera. Tamannaah stepped in and rescued her. We hope these songs prove lucky for her and get her that big break.
