Ileana Back To Tollywood After 6 Years! Why Now?
Still, the image of a curvaceous siren flaunting her midriff and shaking her wide-hip on the silver screen comes to our mind whenever the name of Ileana D’cruz is heard. And claiming that Telugu industry (the whole of South) explores only that glamorous side of a heroine, she moved to Bollywood hoping for things to get better.
Forget what better has happened in Hindi tinsel town, but Ileana has decided to come back to Telugu films after 6 years. Way back in 2012, she appeared in movies like Julayi and Devudu Chesina Manushulu before disappearing from the scene. From last two years, there is buzz that Ileana is sending feelers to Telugu directors and producers but none are taking it. And now, she’s heard very much part of Raviteja’s Amar Akbar Antony.
Well, the first question that comes to anyone’s mind is, what has Ileana seen now in a Telugu film after six years to take it up? Has Sreenu Vaitla come up with such a strong story that made Ileana to not miss it at any cost? Or does the character has a super substance that all those glamorous roles Ileana did all these days are an utter waste?
Going by Film Nagar talk, currently, without offers, Ileana is feeling that this opportunity is a blessing in disguise to make some money before actually retiring from films. Let’s see what Ileana will say about this!!
K’taka CM’s Wife Is The Most Searched Celeb On Google
Not many were aware of Radhika Kumaraswamy until a few days ago. But now, she is Google India’s most searched celebrity for the last week by pipping all other celebs. You have guessed it right, Radhika is Karnataka’s soon to be Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy’s wife.
31-year-old Radhika was a popular actress in the Kannada film industry. She stepped into movies when she was 16 and acted in nearly 30 movies, including a couple of Telugu movies and also produced a couple of Kannada films. She had paired with almost all the leading Sandalwood heroes.
Radhika fell in love with 58-year-old HD Kumaraswamy, who’s also a noted film producer, and tied the knot in 2006. The couple has a daughter named Shamika Kumaraswamy. Radhika and HD Kumaraswamy’s marriage was a well-kept secret. It was only after Kumaraswamy had a major fallout with actress and Congress leader Ramya that Ramya spilled the beans about Kumaraswamy’s bigamy in 2010.
Following the recent political consequences in Karnataka, Radhika Kumaraswamy’s name splashed all over the internet. Apart from India, Radhika’s name was among Google’s most searched celebs in countries like Qatar, UAE, Kuwait and Sri Lanka.
Trivikram Sir, Are You Reinventing A Bit??
Needless to say, Jr NTR’s birthday treat from Trivikram has taken everyone by a surprise. The first look of “Aravinda Sametha” featuring Tarak in a chiselled avatar has won applauds. But that’s the hard work put by the hero and now they are discussing how the director is going to use it.
In the recent times, some directors like Sukumar and Sandeep Vanga reinvented how the hero looks and behaves on the silver screen at the behest of content. The posters of Arjun Reddy and Rangasthalam have stayed true to the content. Then we have Koratala Siva’s Bharat Anu Nenu also showcasing the hero in a new way. But going by the posters, what should we get from Aravinda Sametha?
Wearing a six pack, bashing the goons and mouthing rhyming dialogues will not be enough for a star hero these days to intrigue audiences. And Trivikram’s last two films are not far from such routine stuff. After looking at Agnyaathavasi one feels that he has to reinvent his way of storytelling a lot to fascinate the audiences.
Going by the motion poster and six-pack poster of Aravinda Sametha, for now, it gives a feeling that the film is packed with routine commercial elements with Jr NTR likely to carry everything on his shoulder. Maybe the trailer of the film will speak more and there is a long way for its release.
Mahanati Controversy: I Don’t Want To Criticise My Sister
Right from the beginning, legendary actress Savitri’s daughter Vijaya Chamundeswari is supporting ‘Mahanati’ team but has to face a set of controversies after the film’s release. And that came from none other than Gemini Ganesan’s daughter Kamala from his first wife. Here comes reaction of Savitri’s own daughter on that.
“I’ve seen the film from my own perception from my mother’s point of view. Now, my sister, Kamala Akka might have seen the film from another point of view. It’s just a perception difference, but I won’t find any fault with my sister. She being a Tamilian might have understood film in a different way as this is a dubbed Telugu movie. It’s true that Dad loved Mom like anything and the film is not going to create any differences between me and sister Kamala” said Vijaya Chamundeswari.
But what about the ‘boozing’ remarks made by Kamala Ganesan? She stated that Gemini is not the one who has taught drinking to Savitri and that upset her.
“I agree, Dad doesn’t force her to drink. But Mom would have got likening to alcohol due to social drinking which is rampant in the film industry and being a superstar she would have tasted. That scene in Mahanati showcases that mom had a drink with dad, but it doesn’t mean she drank first time with him only” said Vijaya Chamundeswari.
“The most valuable assets I got from my father is none other than my sisters from my father through another mother. I won’t lose them at any cost. My Peddamma (Babjima), shown as Alamelu in the movie, is my great mentor and supporter. So there is no chance of losing respect for my dad’s family, which is also my family”, she concluded.
What Next Kumaraswamy?
HD Kumaraswamy, the CM of JD(S)-Congress combine, is likely to have two deputies. Whilst one will be occupied by the Karnataka state Congress chief G Parameshwara, the other deputy is likely to be from the JD(S). However, the decision on having a second deputy CM is yet to be finalized. This is expected to be finalized during Kumaraswamy’s meeting with Sonia and Rahul Gandhi today in New Delhi.
It is learnt that Kumaraswamy alone would take oath as CM on Wednesday (May 23rd) and the rest of the cabinet would take its oath only after having the Confidence of Motion on Thursday (May 24th).
Since Congress won 78 seats whereas JD(S) got only 38, Congress is likely to have more portfolios in the cabinet. It is buzzed that Congress will get the lion’s share of the ministries i.e 20, whereas JD(S) would get 13 ministries. However, the portfolios are yet to be worked out.
Congress is expecting Home Ministry. And Kumaraswamy is contemplating to keep Finance Ministry with him.
Kumaraswamy To Visit Tirumala
The CM-designate Kumaraswamy will be visiting the Tirumala shrine and seek the blessings of Lord Venkateswara before heading to New Delhi to meet Sonia and Rahul Gandhi.
Interestingly, earlier, HD Deve Gowda had visited Tirumala on his birthday (May 18) during when the landmark Supreme Court verdict to conduct the Floor Test in 24 hours came. What followed next is a history as 2-day CM Yeddyurappa had resigned even before the Floor Test and admitted his failure to get the desired numbers.
Amidst this, Kumaraswamy’s visit to Tirumala gains much significance. JD(S) leaders and HD family is of the opinion that Lord Balaji’s blessings have helped Kumaraswamy in coming back to power against all odds i.e despite having won in only 38 seats. On the whole, the drama in Karnataka seems to have ended but it has pose a new challenge to Narendra Modi and Amit Shah-led BJP.
Her Predictions Turn Wrong
She is an yesteryear actress who has ventured into production joining hands with a star director who is also into production. Apparently, many have described her as “jinx” for the director as his films have been failing to create magic at the Box Office unlike before.
However, she said to be super confident on the result of the director’s recent film even before its result. In fact, she was waiting to prove to the world that she is not jinxed and they were all wrong. But in vain, the recently releases film of the director also bombed at the Box Office. In fact, the result this time is worse than his previous films.
With the shocking result of the film, she is said to be deeply disappointed. It is heard that the director has persuaded her and told her to move on. Looks like, the duo is going to have tough time ahead after a series of disasters.
