Ace actor Kamal Haasan is all set to act in a stage play written by none other than Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi. And guess what? The actor will enact the play in a grand show staged to honour the CM for his generosity to the film fraternity.

Pro-Telangana activists disrupted the shooting of producer-director Puri Jagannath’s upcoming Gopichand starrer Golimaar at Rytu Bazar in Kukatpally, Hyderabad on Monday.
The protesters, led by local Telangana United Front leaders, surrounded the unit and raised slogans against actor Roja, accusing her of working against the Telangana agitation and asked her to leave the place. As the agitators refused to listen to the unit members trying to pacify them, director Puri Jagannath and actors Roja and Priyamani were forced to stop shooting. Read the rest of this entry »
Mamta Mohandas
The sexy Mamatha Mohandas is a sensuous beauty with brains. Mamatha has acted in a few films n Telugu and has also sung some songs in Telugu films. Mamatha’s role in the Jr. NTR film Yamadonga brought her a lot of name and fame.
However Mamatha could not capitalize on it. All she got in Tollywood were offers to play the second female lead in some films.
Mamatha was disappointed with this and decided to shift base to Mumbai. She is now acting in a Hindi film. According to the grapevine, Mamatha is dating director Imtiaz Ali. The two reportedly met in a pub through a common friend and instantly took a liking for each other. The two are now meeting regularly and are neck deep in love.
NTR
Finally it is confirmed. Jr. NTR got engaged to Narne Lakshmi Pranathi, daughter of Narne Srinivasa Rao (chairman of the StudioN Channel) and Narne Mallika. Mallika is the niece of the Telugu Desam president Nara Chandrababu Naidu. The news has been confirmed by the family members of both the sides.
A Telugu Desam leader maintained that the engagement took place three days ago. The wedding will be held in May. Lakshmi Pranathi is currently doing her final year Intermediate at a private college in Hyderabad.
Chandrababu Naidu is said to be the one who insisted on the proposal since the bride is his relative. He convinced Harikrishna and Balakrishna regarding the proposal. When they asked NTR, he is said to have agreed immediately. Since the last few months, there were rumours going on regarding NTR’s marriage. Since he is young, no one took the rumours too seriously.

The real star of Sambho Siva Sambho is the set of exemplary performances by Ravi Teja, Allari Naresh, Priyamani, Siva Balaji, Sunil, and the sundry others who probably wait ages for these kinds of films in order to stretch their acting muscles to the point of perfection.
Sambho Siva Sambho, the film, however, begs to disagree. Putting pain on the centre stage, it parades it around like a trophy, decking it up with shock and anger. Pushing every other factor, every other sentiment, backstage. Read the rest of this entry »

South India’s charming beauty Charmi is truly outraged with some recent media reports that she is all set to enter wedlock with a Punjabi guy. Terming it a fabricated story, this Punjabi kudi made it clear that she currently has no plans to marry.
