Deeksha Seth Sets 'Fire' At 'Nippu' Sets


The recommendation of heroes is a must for any heroine to get placement in big films. No heroine gets opportunity without the strong recommendation for big heroes.

Deeksha Seth, who served Ravi Teja romantically as second heroine in the film 'Mirapakay' got the result as main lead in 'Nippu' with him now. Although she acted in 'Vedam', she couldn’t make her presence felt in big way. The other film 'Wanted', in which she acted, also tumbled.

Hence Deeksha has been loyal with Ravi Teja and after a warm follow up, she could bag a chance in 'Nippu'. Sources say that she is giving enough warmth with her 'fire' for Ravi Teja now.


Naga Chaitanya Is Not Sachin Tendulkar



The recent gossips about the engagement of Naga Chaitanya with Anushka brought in embarrassment and annoyance in the Akkineni camp. Already, Nag has breathed fire and even Anushka has made her set of statements to clarify the situation. Now, another member has joined the bandwagon. He is none other than Akhil. Sources reveal, Akhil’s answer to those who asked him about that was “Naga Chaitanya is not Sachin Tendulkar to marry Anushka who is 5 years older than him.” And friends close to the Akkineni camp are stating that the family does not like this rumour one bit.
However, what many are appreciating is the dignified silence that Chaitu has been maintaining about all this. He is busy going about with his work without any reactions. Already, his low profile and keeping himself busy with work has scored few points of appreciation among many. Right now Naga Chaitanya is in Europe for the shooting of ‘Dada’.

Body Repair And Makeover For Sridevi's Daughter


Athiloka Sundari Sridevi may well be making her comeback but more than her, the attention of many are on her daughter. We are talking about Jahnavi and this seems to be realized by Sridevi as well. Now, sources say she has got into the process of shaping up her daughter for the big arrival. Buzz is that Sridevi is ensuring that Jahnavi is taking full care in her diet, looks and fitness aspects. It is also heard that she has got in touch with few makeover consultants at the top level and is carving a sketch in such a way that Jahnavi makes a thumping impact on her arrival.

During Sri’s days, it took nearly six to seven films to find feet for heroines. But given today’s speed and competition, it appears that Jahnavi must be on top of things before she makes her entry. As long as she has a mother who has seen it all, Jahnavi has to hold her mommy’s finger and she would be ready.

Sonakshi's @ Rs 3 Cr To Venkatesh


Sonakshi Sinha, the hot sensation in Bollywood after ‘Dabangg’ has now fallen in the eyes of many South Indian stars as well. Victory Venkatesh desired her and approached her to ask to pair up with him for his next film after ‘Body Guard’. But Sonakshi has got several reservations and hence she doesn’t want to lose the opportunity for small amount for a South Indian middle aged hero.
 
Hence she quoted Rs 3 Cr shockingly. Indeed she did this after enquiring from Katrina Kaif about the payment she received for acting in Malleeswari a few years ago. She came to know that she was paid Rs 1.23 Crore with the recommendation of Venkatesh to his elder brother Suresh Babu. So now, the idea of Sonakshi is to get recommended by hero himself to convince the producer for Rs 3 Cr payment. So now, ball is in the court of Venkatesh. In fact no producer can be keen to pay that much amount for a heroine in Telugu filmdom!!!
