Many a times on various instances, director Harish Shankar showered his respect and admiration for Puri Jagannath. In fact, Harish feels himself as a ‘Shishya’ to his ‘Guru’ Puri. Now, this would be an interetsing and friendly fight of sorts between these two as both are dealing Powerful Star Pawan Kalyan without any gap. Yes, when Harish is directing Pawan for ‘Gabbar Singh,’ very immediately Puri will show our hero as ‘Ram Babu’ in ‘Cameraman Ganga Tho Ram Babu.’ So, who will showcase Pawan in best of the style will be the quesition of hour.

In either ways, Pawan is lucky as he needs a strong hit from both the flicks. If Harish delivers it first with ‘Gabbar Singh’ then Puri will obviously be on edge. Wish that this ‘Guru Shishyulu’ gives new lease to BO in 2012 in the name of Power Star.

Filmmaker Akash Pandey on Thursday filed a complaint against actress and mafia don Abu Salem’s ex-girlfriend Monika Bedi accusing her of harassing him by sending threatening SMSes for the last one month.

In 2011, Akash Pandey directed a film titled ‘Parichay’ featuring Nepali superstar Nikhil Upreti and Monika Bedi. The film was released in Nepal last month turned out to be a hit. As per the contract, Monika Bedi was paid a remuneration of Rs 5 lakh long back and the makers had promised to give an additional Rs 5 lakh to her, if the film releases in India.

As per the contract, she is eligible for that money only after the film hits the screens here. The director tried to convince her, but it didn’t work. Monika started sending SMSes like “You guys have to pay now, otherwise I will see You.”

Sai Dharam Tej created ruffles in the industry with his debut announcement. Nephew of MegaStar Chiru, SDT’s plans took a turn with YVS Chowdary’s ‘intelligent’ plans.

Sai Dharam Tej is currently acting in YVS Chowdary’s directorial REY and the film’s work came to stand still at the moment. Though sources from YVS Camp are saying that the pause is momentary and the work will revive soon, many critics doubt this.

In fact, YVS has invested a lot on NIPPU and pushed his own directorial REY aside. For REY, still there is a single-schedule shoot to be done in Hyderabad and parts of missing portions are to be finished in USA. This needs huge budget and only if NIPPU overflows with profits that can be done. Much hyped future of Sai Dharam Tej is directly linked to REY directly and indirectly to NIPPU. If something goes wrong with NIPPU, then there is no point called ‘future’, predicted a cine-lover.

The nexus between film industry and politics has been age old. And those who entered politics from the cine circuit managed to have their moments of glory and success. Now, it is heard that a rather unusual person is preparing herself to enter into politics, if the situation demands.

She is none other than the bubbly beauty Genelia. Well, the chirpy girl got married to one of the most powerful political families in Maharashtra and her father-in-law Vilasrao Deshmukh is former CM. Recently she was sharing her thoughts when she reportedly mentioned that if her family feels her presence will make a difference, she don’t mind entering politics.

While it is not sure whether the Deshmukhs would want the ladies of their home to enter this dirty field, it is heard that they are okay with Genny continuing her career as an actress. For now, she has ‘Naa Ishtam’ in Telugu and ‘Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya’ in Hindi with hubby Riteish Deshmukh.

Given a choice between doing a Hollywood film or a film with superstar Rajinikanth, any Indian actress would choose to do the latter. However, it is now heard that this choice has become a headache for one hot heroine. She is none other than the burgundy eyed beauty Deepika Padukone.

Sources say Deepika has been facing heavy pressure from walking out of the film ‘Race 2’ and catering her dates to ‘Kochadaiyaan’. Producer Ramesh Taurani is reportedly in no mood to forgive and he has demanded that Deepika should fulfill her commitment of working with ‘Race 2’ because a lot is at stake for him.

On the other hand, it is heard that Deepika would be going through certain processes wherein her fair skintone would be darkened by few layers so that she will match the complexion of Rajini. Sources close to Deepika reveal she is going through a real tough time due to all this.

Tamil hero Dhanush and southern hottie Anushka share a special bonding. In fact, the Kolaveri star claimed that Sweety is his best buddy in the Industry.

“Anushka is a source of inspiration for me. She is such a positive person that nothing could upset her. Whenever I feel low, sweety is there to help me and makes me come out of that phase. She sends random messages to motivate me and I end up smiling. I wish I’m at least half of what she is!,” said Dhanush.

The duo is already making some noise with the album ‘Sachin Anthem’, which was their tribute to the legendary cricketer. Dhanush’s decision to rope in Anushka for the album has surprised the film goers. The question that surfaced in everyone’s mind is that ‘Why he choose Anushka, instead of Shruti Hassan or someone else?’ But no one could figure out the actual reason behind it. With Dhanush openly speaking out now saying he had a special place for the long leg beauty in his heart, all the doubts were cleared. Now its Anushka’s turn to express her feeling for the Tamil Star. Hope she doesn’t disappoint Dhanush! Good to see this bond of deep friendship between two top stars in the Industry!!!

Prince Mahesh Babu has been causing a mania across the box office and his tsunami has been very difficult to control or compete by any other star. Meanwhile, another member from his family has now forayed into the cine circuit as a hero. He is Mahesh Babu’s ‘Bava’ Sudhir Babu.

Sudhir has made his debut with the film ‘SMS’ and here is an inside update. It is heard that those who saw the film have given a common advice to Sudhir. That he should go through voice therapy before he renders his voice for his next project. Apparently, they have given marks to Sudhir on his performance but they say his dialogue delivery was not appealing.

While some say that his voice came out flat few others say there was no energy or variation in it. As such, the dialogue delivery plays a key role for any hero. So, it remains to be seen whether Sudhir Babu will take this feedback seriously and work on it or not.

Craziest of all heroes, Powerstar Pawan Kalyan is bringing all the odds on one-side to score a sensation. More than anyone else, fans like their star acting in the direction of Puri Jagannadh, who gave sensational BADRI years ago. This is happening!

Yet, there is no official confirmation or any news from Pawan’s gang regarding his upcoming movie with Puri Jagannadh. However, the ace director already announced that Pawan’s flick will be his next after he finishes the job with Raviteja’s DEVUDU CHESINA MANUSHULU. Today, the director is going to announce the title of the movie to public, say sources. The dialogue version of the movie is getting cooked by Puri and his team at a rocket pace.

For your information, Puri has finished writing the first-half of the movie and the output came pretty excited. The story is said to be dealing with yellow-journalism and Pawan is going to portray the role of a honest investigative journalist. Wait till evening 6’o clock, to know the name of this sensational film that has all interesting cast and crew.

Despite being a proper heroine material for her shapely assets and sex appeal, Deeksh Seth is still sailing tough in Tollywood. Widely discussed in cine-circles at present, the hot-lady is gearing up for some special services.

Long legged lass Deeksha Seth is coming up with NIPPU that has Raviteja in the lead, directed by Gunasekhar and produced by YVS Chowdary. In generally, YVS paints the color of Ajanta Shilpam to his heroines and off course, they deserve it. He is known for his perverted speeches about his lead ladies and talks more erotically about them in public. Most of the times, his hot leads are not present at such press-meets where YVS unleashes the beast within. This time, Deeksha has decided to attend all such press-meets to increase her potentiality in the town, say sources.

While YVS words describe this ravishing siren, ultimately the shutterbugs and videoman leads their equipment to eye her. This helps her in publicity, as she is still healing for the wound done by Vikram’s VEEDINTHEY earlier. NIPPU is releasing on Feb 17th and the D-Day decides Deeksha’s fate too!

For some reason the Tollywood hunk Daggubati Rana has been getting mired in controversies of linkups. Earlier, it was just the Bollywood bombshell Bipasha Basu but now the petite beauty Trisha has also been linked to Rana. Recently, Rana got to share his thoughts with a section of media where he came clean.

Speaking about the issue, Rana reportedly reiterated that he and Bipasha are ‘just good friends’ and there is nothing romantic between them. As for Trisha, Rana reportedly added that both of them had a hearty laugh about it since they know each other from many years and tend to hang out together as well with their friends group.

While Rana has made his stand clear, a group of media folks vouch that they are not going to give up and come up with more interesting news regarding him. Whatever it may be, this is working as publicity for Rana who is yet to make his mark at the box office through his performance.
