Actress Vaani Kapoor, who made her film debut with Parineeti Chopra and Sushant Singh Rajput starrer 2013 romantic comedy “Shuddh Desi Romance” and later signed a three-film deal with the Yash Raj Films, says that she is yet to reach a point where she can say that she has made it big in Bollywood.

“I haven’t made it big yet,” Vaani told IANS when asked if she wants to talk about the hurdles that she faced while making it big in the industry.

And how she takes up bad phases in her stride and how such failures made her become stronger?

“You have moments when you sulk, when you crib and cry and feel that, ‘why me and why all these things are happening with me’. We are only human . It’s about facing your fear and not giving up because you are the only person who will support yourself at the end of the day and if you dont do that than nobody else will,” added the 29-year-old.

Her performance in her debut film earned her several awards and nominations, including the Best Female Debut at an award function. Post that, in 2014, she ventured into the South Indian film industry with the Tamil and Telugu language romantic comedy “Aaha Kalyanam”, that proved to be a moderate box-office success and her portrayal of the lead female character was praised.

In 2016, Vaani appeared in Aditya Chopra’s romantic drama “Befikre” opposite Ranveer Singh. The film was set in Paris and showed the actress in a very glamorous role.Talking about working with Yash Raj Films, she said: “I have been fortunate enough to work with them so I would say yes they gave me wonderful opportunities.”She also says that “you always learn from each and every project that you become part of.””Every new project, every new team and everything teaches you with something which you haven’t learnt or done before,” she said.

The actress was in Capital last week to walk as a showstopper for designer Payal Jain’s couture collection “MoonLit”.It was inspired by delicate milky white flowers of ethereal beauty, and pristine simplicity. The interplay of textiles, yarns, weaves and precious details brought together a “Vision in White”. The collection showcased progressiveness, beauty and uniqueness wearing precious jewels from RK Jewelers South Extension-II.Heritage and tradition were reinterpreted in dramatic contemporary silhouettes and intricate drapes.

Talking about how she resonates with Jain’s design aesthetics, Vaani said: “How she is into using Indian handicrafts and all the Indian textiles and incorporating into very modern and contemporary , new age women’s outfits made me connect with her designs..”Vaani, who was signed by the Elite Model Management for modelling projects before venturing into Bollywood, says that modelling gave her the confidence to own up in front of the camera.

“It did give me confidence,” she said.But closely associated with glamour world never forced her to run after trends.
Are you someone you folllow trends blindky ?”I do tend to sometimes keep myself updated with whatever is trending but I don’t really follow fashion trends . Just because it is in trend, it doesn’t necessarily mean to be in my wardrobe,” said the actress.

Actors try to cash on their craze and if they don’t do they will regret their act in future. One film old actress Payal Rajput who cast a magic spell with her bold show in her debut Telugu film RX 100 knows this fact very well. The spicy siren is said to be surprising filmmakers with huge hike in pay for her next assignments. And producers are not much bothered about the pay for the reason that Payal has no qualms to do ultra-glamorous roles.

It is known that, Payal Rajput performed for five minutes at Zee Comedy Awards took place yesterday. The amount she charged just for a brief appearance on the stage is Rs 5 lakhs which is almost equal to what she pocketed for her first film.Draped in a pink cold shoulder dress, Payal Rajput kept the rest of her look simple with gold flats and wavy hair when she attended the show. And she wore a different and glitzy outfit during her dance performance on the stage.

Interim, RX 100 is still raking decent numbers at box office. The film co-starring Karthikeya and directed by Ajay Bhupathi has recovered more than five times of its investment.

Of late, star producer Dil Raju’s enthusiastic statements during the promotional events of his movies made everyone wonder if he was pushing things a bit too much. Dil Raju’s comments made everyone feel that he is the one man army behind all his movies.Naturally, Dil Raju’s comments gave rise to several rumours that he is ghost directing his movies and that he interferes with his directors’ work a bit too much. However, it looks like Dil Raju is deeply upset with these rumours.

In a promotional interview for his upcoming production venture ‘Srinivasa Kalyanam’, Dil Raju said, “I was quite hurt with those rumours about me ghost directing my films. Those are totally my directors’ movies. I only stood behind and supported them, but never interfered with their job,” said Dil Raju.Dil Raju further said that his only aim is to bring out a good film and that all the team members work towards making a good film. “A film will be good only if the relationship between its director and the producer is in harmony. I request the media to stop spreading such rumours,” Dil Raju added.

Dil Raju maintains high-quality standards not just in the making of his movies but also in promoting them. For example, Raashi Khanna has been only seen in traditional attire at all the promotional events and interviews for Srinivasa Kalyanam as she plays a traditional Telugu bride in the movie. Was it Raashi’s idea or was it Dil Raju’s suggestion?

In a similar instance, Dil Raju suggested Mumbai actress Shweta Basu Prasad to change her ultra modern dress and go on stage in a simple Telugu girl avatar at Kotha Bangaru Lokam’s audio launch event. That’s how farther he goes in terms of perfection.

Legendary actor Akkineni Nageswara Rao’s granddaughter Supriya Yarlagadda had made her acting debut with Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi 22 years ago. Incidentally, the film also marked the acting debut of Pawan Kalyan.However, the film did not run as expected and Supriya later took to production and got busy overseeing Annapurna Studios’ affairs. On the other hand, Pawan Kalyan went on to become one of the leading stars in Tollywood and a demigod to millions of his diehard fans.

Recently, Supriya made her comeback to the silver screen with a special role in Goodachari. During a promotional interview Supriya said that she had never thought that Pawan would become such a huge star during their debut days. However, Supriya didn’t divulge much details about her prediction about Pawan.

Now that her role in Goodachari is getting a unanimous applause, Supriya says that she is game fo more acting offers if they are worthwhile. “I will not leave any film which will offer me a negative role,” Supriya added. Are the filmmakers listening?

Amy Jackson is refusing to take the foot of the pedal as she sets the temperatures soaring. She is known for explosive skin show and has set the bar high with her social media updates.She posted a picture of hers in a skimpy bikini that reveals a tad too much of cleave and Amy is aware of it.

Hence she captioned it “I asked my Mum if this was too much and she thinks it’s more than ok sooooo.”Well, we really don’t know if she had asked her mum or not, but fans are thanking her mum for allowing Amy to ‘open’ up without inhibitions.

Akkineni fans have lost confidence on Nagarjuna’s judgment skills. They were terribly upset with Akhil’s choice of scripts that were okayed by Nagarjuna and they were even more aghast with the output and result of RGV’s “Officer”.Since then they are not showing much interest if Nagarjuna promotes a movie aggressively.

During last week Nagarjuna and Naga Chaitanya have promoted “Chi La Sow”, Sushanth starrer rom-com.The film has generated huge buzz thanks to terrific social media promotions. With Nagarjuna urging his fans through press meet to catch the film as they won’t be disappointed now, trade expected massive openings. However, the film just took ordinary start.

On the other hand, Nagarjuna’s fans seems to have gone to watch Supriya in “Goodachari”.Couple of fans even expressed the same on social media declaring that they would rather watch Supriya, Nagarjuna’s niece.
