It is said that Shriya Saran, the sexy bomb shell of south India, has appeared in her glamorous best in Vikram starrer ‘Kanthaswamy’. The latest buzz is that there would be another release which has featured Shriya in a much hotter role.

Shriya’s Telugu movie ‘Bhageeratha’ opposite Ravi Teja, is said to have the actress in a sexy role. The film has been dubbed in Tamil and is ready to be released with the title of ‘Jilla’.

Recently the dubbed version of a Telugu film ‘Lakshmi’, starring Nayantara was released in Tamil Nadu and collected a huge amount. ‘Jilla’ too expected to do the same magic.

Vijayakanth’s ‘Arasangam’, which is ready to hit the screens by April 11, is not a film in which the Captain chases the terrorist. He revealed this in the audio launch function held on March 28 in Chennai. “I am not chasing the terrorists in the film. It is a police story. Since police department comes under government control we have opted for the title”, said the Captain.

Director Madhesh showered praise on the actor for his dedication in his work. Vijayakanth, according to the director, is an actor, who doesnÂ’t want to waste producerÂ’s money. He recalled an incident that took place during the shooting in Canada. The director and the producer insisted Vijayakanth to go back to Chennai when the later fell sick. Captain, however, refused to go back and cooperated to the shooting despite his ill health.

The cadres of Vijayakanth’s DMDK have made a history by purchasing around one lakh audio CDs of ‘Arasangam’. More orders are expected to come, informed Vijayakanth.

Srikanth Deva, who has scored the music for the movie, has completed 50% of the rerecording of the film.

Following the huge success of Telugu super hit movies ‘Desamuduru’ and ‘Pokkiri’, director Puri Jagannadh is all set to begin his new film with Naga Chaitanya, the son of Akkineni Nagarjuna. This will be the debutant venture for the son of the veteran star. The movie will be made under the banner of ‘Vaishno Academy’, NagarjunaÂ’s own production company.

Director Puri Jagannadh has had the credit for introducing many new heroes. It was he who introduced Mahesh Babu in ‘Pokkiri’ and Allu Arjun in ‘Desamuduru’. Both films were runaway hits and the heroes are doing extremely well in the industry. Jagannadh also introduced megastar ChiranjeeviÂ’s son Ram Charan, who has been accepted by the audience.

The director has plans to introduce the son of Nagarjuna in a fresh and novel way. He will start the project by July after finishing his current project ‘Bujjigadu- made in Chennai’.

Dhanush – Nayantara starrer ‘Yaradi Nee Mohini’, one of the most awaited films in the recent times, is expected to hit the halls by April 4. The film, which has been censored with ‘U’ certificate, will be released with more than 200 prints.

The romantic drama with comedy and superb music by Yuvan Shankar Raja is a remake of the Telugu hit ‘Aadavari Matalaku Ardhalu Verule’, directed by Selvaraghavan.

‘Yaradi Nee Mohini’, directed by SelvaraghavanÂ’s erstwhile assistant Mithran R. Jawahar, is said to be a perfect family entertainer. The film has no violence or vulgarity in the name of comedy. Nayantara, who sizzled with her glamorous appearance in ‘BillaÂ’, is handling role that gives more scope for acting than sizzling.

It is worth recalling that Trisha, who donned the female lead in the original, got the MAA TV Award for Best Actress for her performance in the film.

The audio CD of Sanjay Ram’s ‘IyakkamÂ’ was released by actor Suriya and received by actor Shaam in a function held in Chennai on March 30, 2008.

Sanjay Ram, the producer and director of ‘Iyakkam’, the cameraman of the film Leo. D, actor Rishikumar and the crew members of ‘Iyakkam’ attended the function. Praveen Mani has scored music for the film.

It is worth mentioning that Shaam would act in Sanjay Ram’s next movie ‘Siva Mayam’.

Sanjay Ram has earlier directed ‘Thoothukkudi’, ‘Aadu Puli Aattam’, and ‘Veeramum Eeramum’, has now completed his new venture ‘Iyakkam’, which is expected to be released by April.

Sneha is going strong and steady. Interestingly the actress has come across the rare privilege of acting herself in a couple of films.

In Rajnikanth starrer ‘Kuselan’, she plays actress Sneha herself. The dusky beauty was thrilled to be part of a Rajinikanth movie though her role was very brief.

She is as Sneha in ‘Angadi Theru’ too, directed by ‘Veyyil’ fame Vasantha Balan.

A major scene was to be shot at a textile shop in Chennai and Vasantha Balan wanted Sneha to be part of the scene for she is the brand ambassador for a popular textile shop in Chennai. When approached, she readily agreed to it

Following this, the scene was shot. ‘Angadi Theru’ is being produced by London Karunas of Ayngaran International.

The ‘Kannum Kannum’ girl Udayathara is in the centre of controversy now. A section of media carried reports that she would marry director Thirumalai, who directed her for ‘Thee Nagar’.

An angry Udayathara denied reports appeared in the media on her “affair” with director Thirumalai. She also alleged that it was the director who had given the “false news” to the media.

‘It is all concocted and there is no iota of truth in it’.

‘He was my good friend. It is rather unfortunate that he is spreading wrong news about me. If he continues the same act, I will file a complaint against him in the directors’ association,’ said Udayathara.

On his part, Thirumalai said, ‘I am not involved in the controversy. I wonder why my name was dragged into the whole issue. I would meet her soon to explain. I assume people close to her had spread false news about us’.

This is a time for remakes. Not only are films in the neighbouring states and languages remade but this has become a success formula throughout the country.

Well, ‘Avatharudu’ is a remake of the Tamil film ‘Alwaar’ that had Ajith and Asin playing the lead pair. In telugu the film has been remade under the ‘Shalini Cine Creations’ banner. ‘Avatharudu’ has been directed by Super Subbharayan and produced by Y.V.Shetty.

The producer has confirmed that the film will hit theatres this April 4th. While speaking on this film the producer also stated that the hero will surprise the audience with a variety of appearences, and this will be the most important feature of the film.

‘Avatharudu’ features five songs – one of which has been shot in the snow-peaked mounts of Himalayas, two more songs have been shot in Malayasia and Singapore.

The director of this film being a stunt choreographer, the audience can definitely expect dare-devil stunt sequences in the film.

The music of Srikanth Deva has proved a hit in the Tamil version, and lets hope history is repeated in Telugu as well.
