The audio release function of Rushi was held yesterday at Screen No. 5 of Prasads IMAX. It was made memorable by Kamal Haasan's reminiscence of his association with LV Prasad. It dates back to many decades. In his brief but compelling speech, the 'Universal Hero' jocularly said that he had expected the banner will cast him as hero in the film that they are making after a span of 30 years."I insisted that LV Prasad garu act in Amavasya Chandrudu. I expected that when his banner (Prasad Productions Pvt. Ltd.) is making a movie after so many years, they will choose me as their hero; but they have made it with another hero," he said in a light-veined fashion.

Earlier in his speech, he hailed the work ethics of late Prasad. "There was a time when discussions would take place thousands of times before a film was made. Director, actors and technicians, everybody used to participate in those elaborate discussions. I am very happy that my journey in the industry was made in such a way with the likes of LV Prasad. I am in this position because I learnt so much then," Kamal said.

Is Trisha subtly ageing? - JustTollywood.com News

Trisha's acting skills have never been in doubt. Her position was consolidated by the film Nuvvosthanante Nenoddantana. She had never to look back after that. Though her sway has been on a wane ever since Anushka, Illeana, Kajal, and Samantha began to hog the limelight, her recent Bodyguard performance was an effective answer to her detractors. Will they ever dare to writer her off?That said, it must be added in the same vein that at a time when almost cherubical faces is the reigning trend in Tollywood, the 28-year old actress is naturally being seen as an ageing diva. The audience have generally lapped up her performance in Bodyguard. But some of them have found her a bit old for the role. What makes it all the more serious is that this section is understandably not in a negligible minority.

People are complaining about her zero-size (well, almost) looks. While she is frail for some, for others, her face is already showing subtle hints of ageing.The question some of them are definitely asking is, if Trisha looked oldish opposite Venkatesh, who is double her age, how will she look opposite Junior NTR (her Dammu co-star), who is younger to her?

There is space for everyone, feels Kajal - JustTollywood.com News

If you ask Kajal Agarwal, she says that there is space for everyone in the industry and there is no point in making a desperate bid to grab roles. The candid actress seems to suggest that since each heroine has her unique qualities and the filmmakers know who suits best for a role, the brouhaha about competition between heroines is irrelevant. She doesn't in any way suggest that there doesn't exist competition among heroines. All that she means to say is that everybody will have their share of the pie. "A role doesn't come to us when we want it. Every director intuitively knows which actress is suitable for the role in his mind. And he would draft only that heroine," she points out.

The actress is fast making strides in Telugu and Tamil. Proud of the fact that she is among the top heroines who is now considered as someone who deserves to be cast opposite crazy stars from Mahesh Babu, Ram Charan, Prabhas to NTR, she gleefully acknowledges that she is lucky in that respect.Kajal has had an eventful 2011 and her film, The Businessman, is scheduled to release on Jan. 11. Said to be one of the highest paid actresses in South India, she famously acted opposite Ajay Devgn in Singham.
