Shirya trains in scuba diving - JustTollywood.com News

It is not new for new-age actresses to perform stunts in the films. For the recently released Bollywood film Blue, if Lara Dutta had tough time learning to perform with sharks in under water sequences, Priyanka Chopra underwent physically taxing activities and rigorous training for Don. And Aishwarya Rai underwent Karate training and sword fight training for The Last Legion and Jodhaa-Akbar.Shriya Saran, the South Indian heroine, is walking in the foot steps of these lady superstars.
Recently, she learnt a crash course in scuba diving in the Andaman islands, not for any of her forthcoming film but for the sheer pleasure of it!Shriya said, "Scuba diving in the Andamans is a once in a life time experience. I loved every moment of it!" She added, "'It was so amazing and the corals there are a wondrous sight." If we thought, she only had fun from all that we could not be more wrong.For Shriya felt that it required to put a lot of effort. Despite being aware of the odds, why did she opt for a crash course in scuba diving? She was curious to know the patterns of risk-taking, we guess.

We all know that the recently held Star Night was helmed in by Dr. Dasari Narayana Rao and that he was the force behind its materialization.He also hosted the gala event, which went for about 7 hours. Dasari, however felt that it was the unified effort and drive of the film industry as a whole that deserved praise.
The veteran said, "The Star Night conceptualised with the intent to help flood victims mustered special response from everyone in the industry. Everyone in the film industry thought it to be their responsibility. That's why everyone could stand on an even keel. We virtually halted the industry for three days. Yet producers and artistes did not think twice before telling the victims that we were behind them."

Krish: Born Again! - JustTollywood.com News

Krish's name is buzzing in Tollywood with everyone wondering if he is the next big thing to happen to the Telugu film industry. Ever since his last film Gamyam romped home with 4 Nandis, curiosity around his next Vedam has only intensified. Here is a tribute to Krish on his birthday, which falls on the 10th of November.Today, Krish finds himself in the company of top-flight directors of Tollywood. All thanks to his sensible entertainer Gamyam, for which he has won the Best Director Nandi recently, he is now touted to be the next avant-grade product of the Telugu filmdom.
Now, making a rare multi-starrer titled Vedam, it may be said this chap is intellectually-inclined. From curling up with the literature of greats to by hearting the aphorisms of giants, he is a book-worm. A stern believer in humanism, he is deeply philosophical too. Actor Venkatesh, to whom he is learnt to have narrated a terrific subject, said in an interview that Krish is well-versed with the sayings of great masters.
His last offering Gamyam, which has won the State's Best Film (Nandi) Award, corroborates the above claims. In the journey of self-discovery of a rich brat, in the orphan character of Gali Seenu, in Kamalini's idealism, we find the echoes of his universal vision. In the heart-touching culmination, in the impressions of masterpieces like Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behthi Hain, we find the arrival of a "filmmaker-with-a-soul."
The truth is that Radhakrishna Jagarlamudi, whom we know today as Krish, wanted to evolve by delineating his vision through moving images. The plenty of research he does for a subject (writing a script, he met Gopal Godse, brother of Gandhi's killer Nathuram), the kind of literature he immerses himself in, everything makes the unconventional writer he is.
In the past, we have heard of so many sham multi-starrers, but his next Vedam is one bona fide multi-starrer. Allu Arjun, Anushka, Manchu Manoj, Manoj Bajapi and MM Keeravani (who is said to be playing an old woman), will be seen together in this most-awaited multi-starrer in the history of Telugu cinema. The film will have many narratives which will see an intriguing denouement. Watch for this one in January 2010 that has unique screenplay and subject.
