Sridevi's return on the Telugu screen ? - JustTollywood.com News
Junior NTR said in a recent interview that he wishes to work with yesteryear actress Sridevi for a film. His admiration for the actress is unimaginable. Finally, it seems that his wish is all set to come true very soon. If gossip mills are to be believed, the beauty queen in her 40s, is all set to act in NTR's next, to be directed by Meher Ramesh and produced by Ashwini Dutt.
Chances are the actress is mooting to make a comeback with this film. However, it might turn out to be another rumour after her name was flashed in the gossip circles for Pawan Kalyan's 2003 film Johnny too.Though Sridevi tried her luck at television by acting in a really forgettable soap, she threw no hints in recent times at returning on the big screen.

KCR replies Mohan Babu, even harsher - JustTollywood.com News
Seems that Mohan Babu and KCR are bringing vitriolic sparring to an all-time low. If Mohan Babu asked KCR if he thought that Hyderabad belonged to his maternal uncle, KCR replied back saying that those who opine that the city doesn't belong to Telangana will have their tongues cut.He said, ‘‘Our people in Telangana are sleeping on empty stomach. What’s a day’s shooting?," he said referring to the Tuesday incident.
"If Mohan Babu takes a pro- Andhra stand, why should people in Telangana watch his films? Mohan Babu asks us if Hyderabad belongs to our maternal uncle. I say does it belong to his maternal uncle."KCR's indictment turned tasteless when he said, "The film unit members should thank their stars that our activists did not harm them." With the situation turning hostile between the actor and the politician by the day, the episode has become the most-talked about news in AP.

Mohan Babu responds harshly - JustTollywood.com News
Following the attack on his sons and daughter, actor-producer Mohan Babu reacted sharply, later in the evening. Targetting KCR and his party, the actor said that Hyderabad was not the personal property of the TRS leader and that it belonged to the Muslims (never question what logic the unreasonable actor uses here). He said that the Government of India 'took' (the only word in English translation that comes to one's mind when one listens the word 'teesukundi' he used) Hyderabad from the Nawabs and that the"Allah ki aashirwad" that is Hyderabad has to be handed over to the over 32% of Muslims by everyone. Mohan Babu feels that the rest of the inhabitants have to vacate.
That the pugnacious actor was only trying to gain maximum mileage out of the Tuesday incident involving his family members, who were caught in a hapless situation when attacks were unleashed on them, is clear. He proudly stated that he has got ten times more strength than KCR. "Channa Reddy asked the film industry to shift base to Hyderabad. Did you ask us to come here?," he thundered.It is not yet clear if Mohan Babu knew what he was talking about when he said "if we have to leave the city, we hand over it to the Muslims." God save the city from such unreasonable chaps!

Attack on Mohan Babu's kids - JustTollywood.com News
Mohan Babu's involvement in the Samaikhya Andhra agitation has translated into virulent attacks on his sons Vishnu and Manoj and daughter Lakshmi Prasanna, here in Pet Basheerabad in Hyderabad. Manoj was shooting for a film in the city, when activists, who identified themselves as belonging to the TRS, ransacked the shooting equipment and tried to attack the brother-sister duo, who scampered away and got into a house. The attackers reportedly hurtled stones at the house later. The tense situation created a sense of fear for at least three hours in the vicinity.
Even in the presence of the police, the attackers troubled the Manchu family members with their unscrupulous and violent behaviour and continued to make assault on junior artistes.Even as the macabre drama was unfolding outside, Manoj and his security guard reportedly manhandled a journo. When Vishnu reached the spot in a hurry, the activists, who now grew in strength rounded up his card.The police arrested Manoj and Vishnu for manhandling some men from the media inside the house, when attackers hurtled chappals at the latter.

Badmash, a mass masala flick - JustTollywood.com News
As is well-publicized, Vandemataram Srinivas is turning director with a film titled 'Badmash', being produced by academician Dr. G. Nagaiah. Naga Siddhartha is debuting with the movie, which the producers say, is turning out to be a mass-oriented flick with loads of action and romance.The idea that a talented musician like Srinivas is directing the movie is a reason why Badmash is so popular among the audience. Its shooting started from the 7th of this month and has been canned in places in and around Hyderabad. The hero's characterization, the makers promise, will be distinct so much so we will start calling him 'Badmash' Naga Siddhartha after the film's title.
The character opens with spouting these lines: "My name is Avinash; in my locality, people call me badmash." The makers tell us that the debutante has got good screen presence and that he suits well for the role he is playing in the film.So much of action does not mean that the film is bereft of other elements like romance and love. Ektha is the girl who is introduced here. Chandramohan, Suman, Dharmavarapu, Babu Mohan, Venu Madhav and MS Narayana are the other important cast.Let's hope Srinivas' first directorial will be a big hit.

Shedding clothes is no crime: Priyamani - JustTollywood.com News
Priyamani is clear about one thing. That is- “One has to be professional when it comes to work.” The actress says she can’t say no when filmmakers ask her to wear skimpy costumes to add glamor to a particular song or scene. “Acting is my career. I am pursuing it with passion. And I can’t be reluctant to the professional demands of my director. Moreover, there is nothing wrong in wearing a bikini or other skimpy attires, as many of my predecessors have set a trend in it,” she says.
Saying that most actresses ranging from Aishwarya Rai to Bipasha Basu have appeared in a bikini, Priyamani says, “Even yesteryear stars like Saroja Devi and Padmini had acted in contemporary roles.”The ‘Paruthiveeran’ (Tamil) damsel hopes that ‘Sambo Siva Sambo’, the Telugu remake of Tamil hit ‘Naadodigal’ would be an important film in her career. “The role I am playing has no glamor scenes. But nobody is talking about it,” she says.
Apart from ‘Sambo Siva Sambo’, Priyamani is acting in two other Telugu ventures and one Kannada film. “I am open to offers in Tamil too. But the character should be meaty,” she says.
