Voluptuous Punjabi beauty Raashi Khanna stormed the Tollywood scene with her cute looks and mature performance with the highly successful romantic comedy Oohalu Gusagusalaade. However, success played a hide and seek game with Raashi as she failed to score a decent hit since then.

All the films in which Raashi enthralled her fans with her sizzling glamour shows such as Joru, Jil, Shivam and the recent Bengal Tiger failed big time at the box-office and disappointed the young beauty.

Now, in her recent interview, Raashi said she never shies away from outrightly rejecting films that have no substance in their stories. Raashi said that script is the most important factor before she signs a film and that she takes all the care in preparing for her role for all her films.

Ironically, all of Raashi’s flopped films were mainly panned by the critics for lack of a strong story. This got many wondering is Raashi needs a serious introspection about her story selection.

The young actress is currently acting in Sai Dharam Tej’s Supreme, in which she will be seen in a cop’s role. Hope she finds success in this de-glam avatar this time.

Mickey J Meyer, music director of Mahesh Babu starrer Brahmotsavam, dismissed the allegations that the background score of the teaser of Bhramotsavam was ripped off. As the teaser was rolled out, many allegations pounced on Meyer over background score. Meyer, who always prefers to stay away from controversies, broke his silence and explained himself.

“To my well wishers and music lovers – the teaser of my upcoming movie released today., and I was pleasantly surprised to find a song with a similar guitar riff – (a guitar chord progression that goes with the same chords that I used in my song) and some people started writing that the song is copied, well., it obviously isn’t and it is a original composition.,,( the tune/melody/ orchestration ) a guitar chord can be same for many songs.,, no one has a copyright on a chord structure.,

I have over the years been non – vocal about my music and creative works in the social media., but with this incident I had to step out and write this post. It makes no sense to not voice the truth.. Atleast for the fans and friends who know me as a person., I don’t have to steal., I have my skills with me.,

I am not in a rat race., and no, am not pressured by any directors to steal.. ( not Srikanth Addala for heavens sake !!!!! To say the least) Having written this my heart is a little lighter now., as I pray to my lord Jesus Christ to take me further into my musical journey and create music that will be appreciated by everyone.

God bless everyone., and have a great New Years ahead,” he said. Besides Mahesh Babu, Samantha, Kajal Aggarwal and Pranitha Subhash are in the lead roles. The film directed by Srikanth Addala is jointly produced by PVP Cinema and Mahesh Babu. The film is expected to be rolled out by April 2016.
