However, when we contacted Chaya Singh, she asked, “I’m getting married? When? I didn’t know that! Who’s the guy? What’s he doing? It’s news to me.” She further continued, “I’m right now busy judging a reality show for kids for a Kannada channel. I have also signed up a movie in Malayalam and a couple more in Bengali. There’s no time for marriage.
“I never doubted the credibility and the success of the film ever since director Rajamouli narrated the script to me,” says Magadheera’s leading lady, Kajal Agarwal. The actress hasn’t had a single day off since the release of the film. “Other than attending the audio release and premiere in Hyderabad, I haven’t been able to be a part of the publicity drives of the film.
But I’m glad I could meet Chiranjeevi gaaru because of Magadheera. He said he loved my performance after watching the premiere,” she gushes. And Kajal credits the success of the film to its script — a period-cum-modern day love story — Rajamouli’s direction, the graphics, cinematography and sheer extravagance of the film. “Also, Charan is a fabulous actor and an awesome dancer. You can already see traces of his father in him,” says Kajal, full of praise for the Junior Mega Star.
You’d have thought a porcelain perfect face, a winning smile and a hit film for a debut should have been enough to make Gowri Pandit a serious contender for queen’s crown in Tollywood. Today she has three films in her kitty and she claims her “role in Housefull revived” her “interest in Tollywood films. Things are falling in place and finally I can say my Tollywood career is on a roll,” she asserts with confidence. When it comes to Bollywood she’d love to work with heartthrobs Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan.
Now she’s all set to sign Tamil and Kannada films to make her “mark” in southern cinema. A common trait of a Bollywood import is to indulge in skin show in Telugu films. “I have no mental blocks about showing skin, but I’ll do the film if such a shot is done aesthetically. I think looking sexy is not just about showing off your curves. A person’s sex-appeal could be in the overall personality, a smile, the eyes, anything,” reasons Gowrii.
