I am trying to become a vegetarian these days. I opt for veg dishes as much as possible. Home food always tops my list.”

Poonam Bajwa in Parugu
Again she got the chance to act opposite Nag in Boss. But that film failed to get crowds at the box office. This entire episode made her career dim. She couldn't find a film in Telugu.
Now she is playing a very vital role in Allu Arjun's film Parugu- it is not second heroine- then what- it is suspense till the film released.
Rajasekhar dual role in Gorintaku
The story is based on brother-sister sentiment and is the remake of a successful Kannada film 'Anna Tangi'. While VR Pratap is wielding the camera, NV Prasad and Paras Jain are producing the movie on the banner of Mega Super Good Films.
The entire story would revolve around the brother and sister characters and Rajasekhar is playing the role of an owner of a sugar factory.
The film is most likely to hit the screen in May.
Now the latest information from the film unit is that Rajasekhar is playing dual roles in 'Gorintaku' as father and son.
However, the father's role would be only for a few minutes on the screen
Parugu about Chiru and his daughter!
Being a big fan to megastar, Allu Arjun always reacts in his own way whenever someone comments or does any bad to Chiru Remember he strongly reacted to hero Rajashekar when the latter made comments on megastar. Now, it looks like he is reacting with this film to the episode of Srija's secret marriage.
The film, directed by Bommarillu Bhaskar, focuses on the great bond that a father shares with his daughter and how his heart aches when his doting daughter runs away. Prakash Raj plays the father's role.
There is also buzz that Allu Arjun has mouthed some strong dialogues in support of Chiru slyly on the aspect of secret marriage
SOUNDARYA RAJINIKANTH TEAMS UP WITH WARNER BROS
Bujjigadu audio review
Sandeep Chowta joined hands again with Puri for this film that scored “Super” music for him in the past. Bujjigadu is typical Sandeep Chowta album which is peppy but sadly it fell short of the expectations. Talaiva and Love Me songs are definitely not of Sandeep’s standards. Sudu sudu Lachimi is ok after repeated hearings so is Dhadak Dhadak. Guchchi Guchchi and Chitti aayire are somewhat good compared to the other songs. It will be a big test for the ears if one searches for lyrics in all the songs. Beats dominated all the songs and the singers are pathetic with Telugu pronunciation. Youth might like this music but it doesn’t offer anything for mass or melody number lovers. Only the picturization should lift the songs value...
Amala in king..
Nagarjuna has also given the green signal to Raghav Lawrence for a new film. Nag acted in Mass and Don directed by Lawrence. An interesting aspect about Nagarjuna's films is that in recent times they all have had English titles - Mass, Super, Boss, Don, King and Power!

Dasavadharam everything great about it
A new chapter is going to be written in the history of Kollywood and the whole of the Indian film Industry when the music launching function of Kamal Haasan’s next movie takes place.
A whole stadium having the capacity of 5000 people will witness the launch of the music by none other than one of the most popular actor in the world Jackie Chan.
The function will be graced by the Chief Minister of Tamilnadu K.Karunanidhi who is chief guest of the programe.
Malayalam Superstars Mammootty , Illayathalapathy Vijay, M.P. and Actress Hema Malini, B-Town heart throb Mallika Sherawat and Kollywood pin up girl Asin, are some of the hot shot celebrities who will be attending the grand event at Nehru indoor Stadium in Chennai.
By what has till now come up in the media about the film, everyone who is keenly waiting the release of this movie knows about the peculiarities that it is going to offer.
Right from the never ever experienced before story of the film and a complex story-telling technique, the ten different roles in a single movie by Kamal Haasan, the substantial use of visual effects and graphics, a perfect replica model of the house of America’s President The White House and even a tsunami recreated in the sets for a particular portion of the ‘Dasavadharam’, the colossal film directed by K.S.Ravikumar and produced by Oscar Ravichandran is going to be a master piece and one gem of a show reel experience for film lovers.
Kamal Haasan himself stating that ‘Dasavadharam’ combines the humor and fun of ‘Michael Madana Kamarana’, the sadness of ‘Mahanadhi’ and the emotions of ‘Thevar Magan’ and ‘Hey Ram’ have increased the curiosity about the films content among the members of the audience.
But for now the wait for this magnum opus film is getting too hard to handle.

Congress ticket for comedian
Comedian Venu Madhav was in the eyes of Congress party leaders. He hails from Karimnagar Kamalapuram constituency and also did some social service there earlier. Keeping this in mind, they have decided to give MLA ticket for him. Venu Madhav has also shown lot of interest.
But it is unfortunate that dowry and harassment case were filed on Venu madhav long back. His wife gave a complaint on him a few years ago and that made Venu Madhav, a man with criminal background.
Hence ticket cannot be given to him and Congress stepped back. We heard that 'there will be a woman behind the success of every man'. But here Venu Madhav's wife is behind his failure.
