Mithun Chakrabortyturnsbegger


Here's a dekko at Mithun Chakraborty's begger look in his forthcoming children's film Zor Laga Ke Haiya. It took make-up artist Vikram Gaikwad, at least two hours to put on the Mithun's make-up, hair and the beard. Apart from the long time it took to get into the look, he had to fight it out in the heat as most scenes were shot outdoor in the sun. To top it all, for many scenes, he had to sit atop a tree, climbing with the help of a rope ladder. So the hairy look really got to him. Zor Lagaa Ke Haiya, directed by Girish Girija Joshi (assistant to Raj Kumar Santoshi), is about a group of children, who treat a tree as their home and play ground. A construction giant wants to raze the tree to build a multi-storied building over there. The kids start a tree Chipko Movement with the help of a homeless beggar played by Mithun. "Apart from taking time in putting it on, we were shooting outdoors and it used to be very hot. Naturally, Mithun da would also feel the heat and it used to make him irritable. But the look was so perfect that even some people who know him very well, could not recognise him on the first day of the shoot," says Girish.

Anushka's 'Loose Pant' Attracting Youngsters

The hot beauty Anushka who has been ruling the roost with her oomph created quite a stir in the latest movie ‘Billa’. Though the film has turned out to be an average performer at the box office, Anushka is still getting some real good marks for her tempting skin show.

Now, more than her bikini act and swimming pool scenes, the thing that is attracting many youngsters is her song ‘Bommali…’. There is a scene in the song which has Prabhas pulling Anushka’s loose trouser up and down and this is driving the youth audience crazy.

There are reports that repeat audience has been going just to watch the ‘loose pant’ scene of Anushka. The makers must owe it to this hot beauty once again for getting them whatever little revenue that is coming from the collection centers.

Billa' Sequel In Plans

Slated to be one of the most ambitious movies, ‘Billa’ came in with lot of promise but turned out to be a damp squib at the box office. Many have been cursing the makers for coming out with such a mess of a film that has no content and elegance in presentation.

Meanwhile, it is now being said that the makers are looking at a sequel and it appears that this was there in mind before as hero Prabhas mentions before the end that he will come back. With the kind of beating they took, people are worried how things will be like if the sequel also appears.

While sources close to the film say that the sequel will make up for the trauma caused by the first one, there are many who are wondering as to how it will shape up. Usually, the sequel sentiments don’t run that well in the Telugu circuit so let us wait for a formal announcement on this one.

'Telugu Hero' Running Away From Andhra Pradesh

It is a rare scene to see heroes moving from one language to other but it looks like here is one guy who is quite keen on making his mark somewhere else. He is none other than Vaibhav, son of the veteran director Kodhandarami Reddy and his focus is right now on Kollywood and not Tollywood.

Apparently, Vaibhav’s debut ‘Godava’ turned out to be a major dud and not much has been happening on work front in Telugu except for one more movie. Meanwhile, he was able to prove his presence in Tamil with the hit ‘Saroja’ and it is said that he has bagged few more offers there.

Vaibhav is said to be setting his goals on the league of Vishal, the other Telugu guy who is ruling the roost in Tamil right now. So, it must be said that the Tollywood circuit might just be losing out on a young hero and Kollywood will get benefit by one. Good luck for your Tamil stint Vaibhav.

Bollywood Actress Says 'No' To Tollywood

She is rated as one of the most sought after beauties when it comes to glamour roles in Bollywood. Being a former beauty queen, she has the right kind of attitude and an equally enticing oomph factor that makes her the best bet for such roles. Her name is Sayali Bhagat.

Sayali made her debut with the film ‘Blade Babji’ which was a major hit. However, the pretty girl now says that she had turned down many offers that came to her in Tollywood. Apparently, Sayali was expected to do the similar sort of sexy and glamorous roles that she did in ‘Blade Babji’.

The dusky beauty says that she is now looking at meaningful roles and as it is, her kitty is full with some real good projects in Bollywood. Sayali is making her debut in Tamil too and this gives her more reasons to keep away from Tollywood. Only time will tell whose loss it has been in the end.

No 'Sexposing' Please! Anushka

The hot beauty Anushka who has wowed all with her performance in the blockbuster hit ‘Arundhati’ seems to be keen on her tag as a glam doll. True to her image, she drowned everyone with her oomph and bikini show in the latest release ‘Billa’ but the results seem to have gone haywire.

‘Billa’ has turned out to be a dud and many say that people are not too keen on seeing the pretty girl going bare after her gracious look in ‘Arundhati’. This is said to have put the movie makers in a fix as they are not sure which sort of role would fit Anushka now.

Given her sex appeal, it is hard to see Anushka fully clothed but at the same time, the image she seems to have registered lately as Jejamma has created an impact in the audience. Only time will tell whether the crowds would allow Anushka to show her curves or not.

Hot Married Ladies On Big Screen

Marriage has nothing to hinder an actress’ profession. This is the slogan that the contemporary actresses are sounding. In fact it is not new. Even in past the actresses like Savitri, Bhanumathi, Anjali Devi and many others have continued in their profession even after marriage. But it is the time of exposing heroines. A heroine needs to keep all sorts of traditional bindings behind and ‘sexpose’ as directed by director. Hence many actresses feel that it may not suit them after marriage depending on the traditions and tastes of groom’s families. But many of present actresses are saying that their husbands and in laws are supportive for acting in glamour roles.

Bhumika, the wife of Bharat Tahakur is looking hotter after marriage, say sources. Ravi Babu directed her in Anasuya and he says that marriage has no role to hinder an actress. After all, it is talent and physical appearance that matter, he said,

On the other hand Ramya Krishna is the most glamorous Mom in demand in Tollywood. She too is happy for the freedom extended by Krishna Vamsi, her hubby.

Same applies for Arthi Agarwal, who married a few years ago. She says that she is ready to dance even for item songs as well. Simran is also happy for acting again and she prefers both glamorous and meaty roles. Indeed, she started showing off her newly made tattoo on her heart only after marriage.

So, the so called obstacles are not the real obstacles for these actresses to continue their interests.

Tamanna For Chandrababu's Brother's Son

When it comes to movies and politics in Andhra Pradesh, the nexus between them seems to be quite strong. A perfect example for that is the Nandamuri family that has got many movie stars and at the same time, some good number of politicians too. Now, here is one more name that is going to movies from political background.

His name is Nara Rohit and he is the son of Rammurthy Naidu, brother of Chandrababu Naidu. Rohit will be seen as a hero in a new venture under the Vyjayanthi movies banner, belonging to the famous Aswini Dutt banner. It is heard that the movie will begin post elections.

While the other details like cast and crew are still being worked out, this will be a key one for Rohit to prove his mettle. In side news said that Tamanna may pair up with Nara Rohit. With big names like Balakrishna, Jr NTR already in the fray, it is more of a challenge for Rohit to make his mark amongst his family and also in the film fraternity.
