Happy Birthday Sadaa!

Beautiful Sadaa is celebrating her birthday today. We wish this wonderful actress a very happy birthday and many more returns of this special day.

Getting introduced to cinema in 2002 through Jayam, Sadaa has achieved so much in such a short time! Ironically, the dialogue which made Sadaa a household name was “Poyaa... Po”, which means “go away”! The elegant manner in which she delivered the dialogue – a hand pointing away from her, head bobbing rhythmically to the tone of her voice – only had the opposite effect; the audience found themselves attracted to her just like the film’s protagonist! And that's it! Sadaa was a celebrity overnight! Every South Indian film industry wanted to claim this actress as its own, which saw this slim and beautiful belle act in a string of movies in all the South Indian languages. Soon, Bollywood – the mecca of all film heroines –  and Sandalwood beckoned!

Jr. NTR in full-fledged comedy entertainer

Until the recent past, young tiger Jr. NTR was mostly known for his action and mass masala entertainers. However, with his comic role as Chari in Adurs and lover boy in Brindavanam, he recently proved that he is apt for any type of roles. But things don’t stop there! He is getting ready with yet another full-length comedy entertainer.

According to sources, director Srinu Vytla, who shot to fame with his successful comedy entertainers like King with Nagarjuna and Namo Venkatesa with Venkatesh, is all set to direct a comedy film with Jr. NTR in the lead.

Though more details are awaited, it is heard that this untitled film will start rolling after Srinu Vytla completes his ongoing Dookudu, starring Prince Mahesh Babu.

Nayantara to quit films after Sri Rama Rajyam?

2010 was favourable to Nayantara as an actress, though it put immense pressure her as an individual, thanks to her relationship with Prabhu Deva!

With the back-to-back success of her almost all films in 2010, everybody thought that she would regain her No. 1 position in the South in 2011, but things are apparently not working out like that!

Sources close to the actress reveal that she has stopped giving dates and is planning to quit films after completing her ongoing Telugu project Sri Rama Rajyam, a mythological film in which she plays Sita.

The buzz is that Prabhu Deva had asked her to quit films after Sri Rama Rajyam, since they are getting married by the year end. A website also quoted the actress as saying: "Prabhu Deva told me not to act in films post marriage. Having thought it through and discussed it with wellwishers, I am absolutely confident it is the right decision for me." So Sri Rama Rajyam is most likely to be her swan song as an actress.

Chiru calls Rajini for Ramcharan

Ramcharan urgently needs a strong story and solid script that can pave the way easily for a hit film. chiranjeevi and Mega compound followers are known to have zeroed upon winning the remake rights Tamil super hit film ‘Aadukalam’ of hero Dhanush which was released for the Pongal season. Although other producers from Tollywood are fighting for this remake, chiranjeevi is gossiped to have taken extra interest by calling upon Rajinikanth requesting him to see that ‘Aadukalam’ remake rights goes to one of their Mega banner. Well, it is good to see both Babai (Pawan Kalyan) and Abbai (Cherry) betting on remakes.Despite a strong hit like ‘Magadheera’ for Ramcharan, the present situation looks very dim as his movies are facing severe hurdles in the shooting stages. ‘Orange’ is pulled out from the collapse situation and is released only to see dig holes in the pockets of distributors and exhibitors. Now, ‘Merupu’ is hanging in air unable to proceed further.
