Kollywood Hotshots

In her maiden film, Dhanush will be the hero. "Yes I am doing a project with Aishwarya. But the lead opposite me has not been finalized. I'll confirm soon," Dhanush said. It is believed that Shruti Haasan has been approached to play the female lead in this untitled romantic film.

Being a great movie buff, Aishwarya usually accompanies Dhanush for all his shootings and has also assisted a few directors, including Dhanush's brother Selvaraghavan and Sri Raghava in his Karthi starrer Yuganiki Okkadu. For the past few months, she has been busy preparing the script. The project will be announced after Rajnikanth's complete recovery, it is heard.

Osthi has Sonu Sood playing the villain while Jithan Ramesh plays Silambaransan’s brother. The film is directed by Dharani. Richa Gangpadhyay plays STR’s arm candy in Osthi. Thaman has scored the music for this flick.

Some of the biggest stars in Kollywood called her up and congratulated her for her outstanding performance in the film. Recently at Vijay Awards everybody called out her screen name Saro, and she was all smiles.

However, the biggest compliment Piaa received; according to her was when she was flying back to Mumbai after the function. She was seated next to Prabhu Deva, her childhood hero and dancing legend, who she had met during the shoot of Aegan, a few years back. At that time she was just starting out in the industry and was too scared to go up and introduce herself to the master choreographer. However this time in mid-air she said 'Hello' to Prabhu, who profusely congratulated her for her "Saro act in Ko".

 Piaa says: " I'm over the moon as Prabhu sir, who I thought was a very reserved person, congratulated me and told me that it is not a mere achievement that any heroine gets appreciation for her character in a hit film. He also gave me some small tips on how to be patient and sign good projects."

Piaa is all smiles and adds that Prabhu's appreciation will be an inspiriation for her to do good films in future.

Latha appealed to every one of Rajini's fans not to believe in rumors about his health. She also took the opportunity to thank all the fans and well wishers for their prayers.

Vadivelu tried his best to meet Rajni but the hospital authorities said, “ We have not permitted even VIPs and how do you expect us to permit you.” They sent him away. Vadivelu left the place in a dejected mood.

When asked Hansika about this pet name, she said, “ Kushboo Madam is a beautiful senior actor. I am very happy that I am compared with her. I was little tensed while acting in Mappillai and Engeyum Kadhal. But now I have become normal. Now I have learnt the nuances of acting. Currently I am acting in the Tamil film Oru Kal Oru Kannadi and in a Telugu film which has Siddarth in the lead role.”

However, Allu Arjun's brother Allu Sirish condemned these reports as rumours, saying that Bunny and Sneha are not acting in any ad film. "Arjun and Sneha are not doing any TV commercial together. We wish the media crosschecks such things as our PRs are always accessible," he said.

Allu Arjun is currently gearing up for the release of his upcoming film Badrinath, slated for June 10 release. The film is made in Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam.
