Deepika Shoked..

There is no doubt when we say that Deepika Padukone is India’s number one heroine today and she is the queen of Bollywood. So it is natural that her demand across India is quite high and the south cinema circuits keep trying for her. But it appears that there are few things she is yet to know regarding the industry here.

This was the talk making rounds among the Tollywood media circles. They stated that they were shocked to hear her response when she came to Hyderabad recently for the promotion of her film ‘Ram-Leela’. Apparently Deepika was asked about who she would like to pair in Tollywood if she does a Telugu film. Most of the media folks expected to hear she would say Pawan Kalyan or Mahesh Babu. 

Instead, she gave a Jhalak to all taking the name of Daggubati Rana and how he is close to her. A senior journalist said “I think Deepika doesn’t really know the status of Rana here as a hero. Our eyes popped out when she took his name. Anyways, she needs some guidance and knowledge on Tollywood.”

Kajol Says No To Ram Charan

It has been a while since Kajal Agarwal has done a Telugu film and the way things are going it looks like this saucy seductress may not be doing any in the future. Mystery has surrounded this issue as no one is able to figure out whether Kajal is not liking the stories or the heroes or the remunerations but refusing all offers.

The latest we hear is that Kajal has rejected even Ram Charan. Apparently, Charan is gearing up to start shooting for his new movie under the direction of Krishna Vamsi.

Buzz is that Kajal was approached for the leading lady’s role opposite Charan. But without a second thought Kajal reportedly rejected the project despite offering highest remuneration.

It was Krishna Vamsi who gave the first break to Kajal in her career by taking her in ‘Chandamama’ but she said no to him which has shocked the entire Tollywood circle.

While it is not sure what is going on in Kajal’s mind, the team has begun hunting for a suitable replacement.

Deepika Venkis Fan

After sharing screen space with South superstar Rajinikanth in Kochadaiyaan and having a blockbuster Chennai Express under her belt, Deepika Padukone is the most sought-after actress in South filmdom. Not so long ago, she had been considered for Pawan Kalyan's Gabbar Singh 2. But somehow things didn't materialize. 

Deepika, who was in Hyderabad to promote her upcoming Hindi film Ram Leela, said that she love to be part of a Telugu film. "I didn't get any offers yet. If I get any interesting offer, I'd definitely consider doing it. Since I hail from Bangalore, my language (Kannada) is close to Telugu and I share a great bond with Hyderabad as I shot for many of my films, ads here." That's not all. 

Not many knew that Venkatesh Daggubati is her favourite star in Telugu. She said that she would love to pair up with him if she gets an offer. The Cocktail actress also said that she knows Rana Daggunati and he is good friend of her. So, what's happening Deepika?

Sruthi is Coming Hot

It takes a lot of guts and a great body for any heroine to show her sexy side and right now it looks like Shruti Haasan has been sending some strong vibes regarding that.  This is happening through her photo shoots which have shown the sultry side in her. However, that has not been the case in films. 

Whether it is the kind of roles she got or the mindset of the filmmakers that she is Kamal Haasan’s daughter, Shruti has been seen in conventional roles especially in south.  But by doing these hot photoshoots many feel Shruti is sending a strong message that she is ready for doing some sexy stuff.   

Of course she was shown in a little glam way in ‘Balupu’ but for someone who has donned a bikini right in her debut film in Bollywood, this is not a big deal.  As a result, it is heard that some filmmakers are now making plans to show Shruti in the hottest way possible.  Get set for the sexy feast from Shruti folks!

There can be a slip between the cup and the lip.  Well, that’s what happened with milky beauty Tamanna.

But as per latest gossip in tinsel ville, all efforts are being made to make sure Tamanna walks out of the film.  Apparently, Srinu Vaitla and his team have already started looking out for another actress for the lead role. 

 It is also being said that Mahesh was not happy with the choice right from the beginning.  Once the new girl is finalized, Tamanna will have to back out of the project. Poor milky beauty!
