Erstwhile actresses used to think of their second career option after quitting films. However, actresses of this generation are starting their businesses while they continue to earn in film industry.

Indian-origin British model turned Amy Jackson is planning to venture into cosmetic products business by launching her own line of fake eyelashes and hair extensions in Britain and India. She is currently in London in the process of setting up a branch of her label in the UK. After setting up this branch, she will be back to India to replicate her business model here by this year-end. Amy has yet to decide on a name for her label.

“Extensions are a rage in London but lashes and extensions have just begun to pique curiosity in Indian metros. I’m hoping to cash in on the trend. I hope to engage in retailing with major cosmetic departmental stores as well as high-end salons. I’m really excited because I think there’s so much potential in this space. Also, it allows me to pursue my second passion after acting,” Amy told a tabloid.

On work front, Amy will be next seen in Freaky Ali also starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui. She also pays a key role in Shankar’s ‘Robot 2.0’ starring Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar.

Even before her debut Hollywood film ‘xXx: Return of Xander Cage’ hits screens, Bollywood beauty Deepika Padukone has become the first and only Indian actress to feature in the top 10 highest-paid Hollywood actresses’ list published by Forbes.

One of the hottest actresses of the South film industry, Raai Laxmi, who is best remembered as the ‘Tuba Tauba’ girl after dancing alongside Pawan Kalyan in ‘Tauba Tauba’ song in Sardaar Gabbar Singh, has once again proved why she is rated as one of the hottest properties of filmdom.

At a recent event, Raai Laxmi shocked everyone with her cleavage exposing act. In a white plunging dress, she looked her ravishing best. Her proud cleavage display and unflinching attitude grabbed many eyeballs. We have heard of the word ‘Red Hot’ but Raai Laxmi has definitely redefined the word ‘White Hot’ by flaunting her cleavage in a bindaas manner.

Raai Laxmi’s white color deep v neck cut dress has created almost the same amount of hysteria that was created a few months ago by Kajal Aggarwal’s pink color deep v neck cut dress. The ‘Sardaar’ girls have definitely provided enough entertainment to their fans with their respective bold acts.

On work front, Raai Laxmi is currently shooting for her upcoming Bollywood film ‘Julie 2’. The bold role she essays in the film seems to have taken over her.

After scoring hat-trick hits, natural star Nani looks to be filled with confidence or shall we call it overconfidence?

Nani, who delivered a series of disasters, came back strongly with the successes of ‘Bhale Bhale Mogadivoy’, ‘Krishnagadi Veera Prema Gaadha’ and the latest ‘Gentleman’. With this confidence, he has lined up 3-4 films with promising directors.

His immediate release will be ‘Majnu’, a romantic comedy directed by Virinchi Varma of ‘Uyyala Jampala’ fame. Going by the promos, the film looks promising. But, does that mean the film can sustain any kind of competition?

Latest reports suggest that Nani is planning to release ‘Majnu’ for Dussehra. Well, the festival season is already packed with Ram Charan’s much awaited ‘Dhruva’ and Ram’s ‘Hyper’. Naga Chaitanya’s ‘Premam’ is also aiming for the same festival slot. Among such biggies, can Nani’s film get a breathing space? Of course Nani is not a small hero but audiences have already seen two of his films this year. If given a chance, wouldn’t audiences prefer to watch a Ram Charan starrer or Premam for that matter instead of a 3rd Nani starrer this year?

Trade analysts opine that Nani has good market and craze but he must act wisely to not squander his stardom with overconfidence.

Indian cricket team captain MS Dhoni’s biopic titled ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’ is one of the much awaited films of the year.

The thunderous response from the audiences for the film’s trailer is proof for the craze of the biopic of Dhoni. To cash in on the craze, the filmmakers have decided to dub the film in all the noted regional languages like Telugu, Tamil, Marathi etc. But, it seems that regional political parties in Maharashtra will not let it happen.

Film affairs wing of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), Chitrapat Karmachari Sena (CKS) has objected to the idea of dubbing the Hindi film in Marathi. The regional political outfit opines that dubbing the much awaited Hindi film in Marathi language will pose threat to the regional Marathi films, which are already facing shortage of theatres due to the invasion of Hindi films.

CKS President said that Maharashtra people know Hindi and if they want to see ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’, they could watch it in Hindi. The party asked the producers of ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’ not to dub the movie in Marathi or they will protest against the release of the Hindi version as well.

Directed by Neeraj Pandey and starring Sushant Singh Rajput in the titular role, ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’ is set to hit theaters on September 30.

Director G Ashok is so elated as he is promoted to new level in personal life today. Ashok has turned father as his wife delivered beautiful babies. What’s more interesting is that he was blessed with a triplet on Tuesday and Ashok was naturally on cloud nine. It’s said that Ashok’s wife gave birth to two baby girls and a baby boy. Doctors have stated that all the babies and the mother are healthy.

Ashok started his career as a child artiste before turning as a choreographer. He even worked as dance assistant and choreographed for over 300 songs and worked under famous dance masters like Raju Sundaram, Lawrence. However, Ashok found his calling for direction and turned into filmmaker.

Ashok made his debut as a director in 2010 with Aakasa Ramanna. However, it’s Nani-starrer Pilla Zamindar with which he shot to fame. While his film with Aadi and Nisha Aggarwal, Sukumarudu, failed miserably, Ashok is now filming a high-budgeted female oriented film Bhagmati with Anushka Shetty in the lead. It’s coincidental that he turned father and blessed with triplet during the making of Bhagmati.

Needless to say that congratulations are pouring in for Ashok.
