Villagelo Vinayakudu is also a complete family entertainer with good music as extra flavour. It has a simple story and the characters in the film can be identified in day to day life. The shooting took place in my village Rajolu hence I agreed to do a role in this film. This movie also reminded me of Basu Battacharya because of its soothing music.

Manikanth Kadri’s music in ‘Avakai Biriyani’ was excellent. But unfortunately he was not identified because the film did not reach the audience properly. I am confident that this film will earn him good recognition”, opined Vanamali.

Simran To Rock With Bikini ? - JustTollywood.com News



The bikini show which was once a strict no-no on the Indian cinema screen has now become a culture of sorts. This bikini culture is now turning to be more of a bikini mania as two out of four movies especially in Bollywood tend to have a scene or two of heroines in bikinis. Now, there is news that the former sizzler Simran who ruled the southern circuit for quite a while has been keen on making a comeback.
Sources now reveal that Simran is said to have given a nod to sport a bikini if the script demands and her role is of substance. Although Simran loves playing roles with substance like the one she played in ‘Surya Son of Krishnan’, it is obvious that such opportunities come very seldom. Given her age, many are said to be wondering if Simran would give a tough competition to someone like Mandira Bedi who has been revealing her assets through the bikini show that she has been doing. Meanwhile, Simran fans are waiting to confirm if this is really true or not.
