Kollywood Hotshots

Kajal is slowly climbing her way up in the top heroines chart and is currently shooting for Suriya - K V Anand's Maatraan. Besides, her recent Hindi film with Ajay Devgn Singham also grossed average revenues providing her with some publicity in Bollywood. Kajal also has two Telugu movies in hand.

According to Boopathi, the legendary actress' son, "The surgery is over successfully and doctors said the blood pressure and sugar levels of Amma are well under control. She is under observation and we hope that she will be discharged soon."

A popular actress known for her character and comedy roles, Manorama, fondly called as Aachi by everyone in the industry, slipped and fell down at the washroom of her house recently, resulting in an injury on her head. She was immediately rushed to hospital, where doctors hadd to perform a surgery.

Successful in the industry for nearly five decades, Manorama shared a great rapport with three top politicians of Tamil Nadu- M G Ramachandran, M Karunanidhi and J Jayalalithaa. She is also close with Superstar Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan.

Endhiran was a record smasher at the box office when it was released last year and did good business world over. The film had Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai playing the lead pair with Shankar directing it. Sun Pictures produced the film.

While rest of the films have made a bigger opening that include Shahrukh Khan’s Ra One and Surya-Shruti Hassan starrer 7am Arivu, the reason is still unknown.

Velayudham directed by Jayam Raja is released with 500 prints with more than 100 theatres in Kerala and Karnataka. But again, not finding a single theatre in its own territory literally dashes down everyone’s hopes.

According to trade reports, 7th Sense was released in 400 screens. In Nizam region alone, it hit with 150 plus screens that comprises 55 prints in Hyderabad. It is said that the actor and director AR Murgadoss' brand worked big time. The multilingual movie had 70-80 percent occupancy in most of the screens in metros. Especially, multiplexes were running into packed houses during weekends.

Trade analysts claim that as there were no big releases during Diwali, 7th Sense was able to encash on the long weekend. Though, Mahesh Babu's Dookudu and Junior NTR's Ooseravalli are still doing good business at the Box Office, Surya and Shruti Hassan starrer movie did not face any competition, as the above mentioned straight Telugu movies were released several weeks ago and most of the audience have already seen it, traders conclude.

Nayan's sms was: “You looked really good in the JFW photo shoot and in one of the pics, you looked so much like Priyanka Chopra. The way you have made this fast make-over is quite appreciable”

And Amala Paul screamed in joy and happiness. She was quick to reply back to Nayan: “Nayan you made my day. It was so sweet and kind of you to tell me this, and these words coming from you, means a lot . No other heroine of your stature would tell me this”

Amala said: “I was always proud about Nayanthara who is from Kerala and made it big in south Indian cinema. She created a place for herself in this male-dominated industry and more than being glamorous, she is also an amazing performer. She has struggled to reach this position and be it her make-over, attitude and bold moves, I really look up to her”.

Talking to journalists, a furious Nikitha said, "The KFPA need not ban me. Let it give me proof about an affair with Darshan." I will voluntarily walk out of the Kannada film industry. The actress said the decision has spoiled her image.
"I think this has been the most hurting decision. What mistake have I committed to undergo such harsh punishments?" she said and added: "I just returned from Mumbai only this morning after completing a modeling assignment. I was shocked."
Leading Kannada actor Darshan was arrested by the Police in the early hours of Friday for allegedly beating up his wife Vijayalakshmi and threatening her with a revolver. Vijayalakshmi had named Nikitha in her police complaint against her husband, which she later withdrew in front of the metropolitan magistrate.
