Chiranjeevi Said 'No Settlement' In Pawan's Case

This is the grapevine from legal sources. It is said that Chiranjeevi is the one who brought the issue of Pawn Kalyan to court leaving the idea of settlement aspect aside. He asked the lawyer not to go for settlement but approach court.

It seems that Chiranjeevi said, "It's not something very serious. It's neither IPC 302 case as well. Let that lady (Nandini) go to court. Let everything be solved by court".

Little while ago, it was said that Nandini's family and Pawan Kalyan have shown interest to do settlement at sum of Rs 8 Cr outside the court. But now the case has to face the court to settle down as per the dictum of the justice.

Sanjay Dutt meets Abu Salem in jail

Sanjay Dutt reportedly met with Abu Salem at breakfast in Arthur road jail on Thursday morning.

The high security Arthur Road Jail became the meeting ground for two men separated by 14 years of history.

Sources say the two men chatted and exchanged notes perhaps on the years gone past.

This isn't the first meeting between the two men post the serial blasts.

Soon after Salem was brought to India, the two came face to face inside the TADA court, but then they didn't even exchange a glance.

Then the speculation was the Salem's return could make Dutt's case difficult in court.

Now with six years hanging over Dutt's head the ice seems to have broken.

EVV's Hobson's Choice Abhinaya Sri!

Director EVV has failed to find an alternative to Abhinayasri for a vamp role in his film, 'Pellayindi Kaani…' He has tried five different women to replace her. He tried 'Bhuvaneswari' of 'Nuvvante Nakishtam' and found not suitable for the role.

Every one involved in the film wondered, why he was too particular in keeping Abhinayasri aside. He has no long –brewed hatred for her. The role resembled the vamp role in 'Attili Satti Babu', which Abhinayasri played.

If the same artiste plays similar role, audience feels monotony. As he found no alternative, he had to retain her.

EVV seriously feels there is acute shortage of gals to play vamp roles.

Mumaith Khan's Fresh Claim Rs 35 Lakhs

Mumaith Khan's price for an item song is Rs 1.5 lakh initially but now she is claiming Rs 15 lakhs per song. And there are producers who are ready to pay that for her and hire. She is acting as heroine in the films 'Maisamma IPS', 'Manga Thayaru Tiffin Centre' and 'Fun and Masti'. Her remuneration claim for a film as heroine is Rs 35 lakhs.

Like Rakhi Swanth, now Mumaith also hired personal body guards to protect her. When she was out on a public function recently, many young guys have fallen on her and disturbed her. This made her uncomfortable and hence hired guards.

The family of Mumaith is a poor one living in the suburbs of Mumbai. Now her entire family is living on Mumaith's earnings. So, Mumaith stands as inspiration for some who aim at film industry and grow from rags to riches.

Actress arrested for blackmailing businessman

Actress arrested for blackmailing businessman

A model-turned-actress, who attempted to blackmail a businessman after taking videos of them in a compromising position at a star hotel in Meenambakkam was arrested. According to the police, the actress, identified as Padma Narayanan, demanded Rs. 10 crore after spending a night with the businessman for an agreed sum of Rs 25,000, failing which she threatened to make the videos of the two of them public. Padma, aged 29, a resident of Velachery, acted in Tamil movie Veeraswamy. According to eye witnesses, she was arrested at a jewellery shop in Cathedral road on Wednesday afternoon and bundled into a police vehicle. She had arrived at the jewellery store to meet her victim, a businessman named Pradeep K. from Anna Nagar.

The actress was waiting for the businessman at the jewellery shop because he told her she could buy whatever she wanted from the store. “We told the businessman to set a trap for her. She was told that it would be difficult for Pradeep to give her Rs. 10 crore in cash, so she was asked to make some purchases from the jewellery shop,” the police said. A police team headed by an assistant commissioner from St Thomas Mount waited at the shop with policewomen in mufti. As soon as the actress arrived in her Honda City car and entered the shop, the police team picked her up.

According to sources, the police team questioned her in the vehicle and by evening she confessed to the crime and even provided the police with details of her three associates who also threatened the businessman. They were identified as Sanjay, a 29 year-old model, Ameer John, 28, and Chandran, 28, both car brokers. The police also seized a Honda City car, a lap top, 7 mobile phones and a gun from the arrested. On Thursday morning, the police didn’t want to wait for the courts to open, and rushed the case by producing her at the residence of a magistrate — something that is usually done only in VIP and emergency cases. The magistrate remanded her to judicial custody for 15 days.

Padma’s Modus Operandi

The businessman and actress travelled by the same car and checked into a room at the hotel on July 27. After entering the hotel room, she told him she had left her walkman in the car and asked him to fetch it. When he went out, she arranged four cellphones at four corners of the bed and started the recording option. When he returned, the four cell phone cameras capture0all the bedroom activity from four angles. Later, she kept the mobile phones back in her handbag without him noticing. The two agreed to meet next day also in the same hotel.

But the next day, she came with three of her associates and showed him the video recordings of previous night. The recording was played on a lap top and the four demanded Rs. 10 crore from him or they threatened to ruin his reputation in public. The businessman offered to pay Rs. 10 lakh, but the gang insisted that he should pay Rs. 10 crore or they would shoot him. This is when he approached the police and set a trap for the actress. Sources said that the businessman has been involved with the actress for the last six months.

Kareena Kapoor’s ‘train’ed by Lover!

Actress Kareena Kapoor has never travelled by train. And so, it was quite hilarious when she was shooting a ‘train scene’ for Imtiaz Ali’s yet-to-be-titled film with beau Shahid Kapoor. The actress was required to jump into a running train, and didn’t quite know how to do it. So Shahid, who has travelled in trains before he became an actor, helped her with the scene step-by-step, we hear. It did require quite a few takes, but Kareena finally managed well. By now, she must definitely be well-‘train’ed we are sure!

Reema Sen compared to Jayamalini!

Reema Sen is presently working for a Telugu film Yamagola Malli Modalaindhi.

Rajashekar, one of the producers of Yamagola Mallimodalaindhi, which is expected to be ready for release in a couple of weeks, has a word of appreciation for the actress. “Her presence is like sea of energy in each and every scene,” he remarks.

She is presently shooting in the pubs of Bangkok with Srikanth and Venu for the dance number, O Subba Ravoo, O Appa Ravoo. The song is the remix version from NTR’s Yamagola.

The crew of the movie is confident that Reema Sen will bring back the magic of Jayamalini with this number.

Yama Gola Is Getting Benefited Big Way

It is known that Srikanth, Kaikala Satyanarayana and Venu are acting in the film 'Yama Gola' with hot heroines Meera Jasmine and Reema Sen in leads.

The title of the film 'Yama Gola- Mallee Modalayyaindi' itself is catchy. The audio of the film released a few days back and the response if pretty good and unbelievable, say trade sources. A few observations were made in this aspect:

Many wrongly perceive that this is the same NTR Jr's film 'Yama Donga'.
Some are considering it to be Sr NTR's old flick 'Yama Gola'
The music is from the same 'Adirindayya Chandram' and 'Tata Birla Madhyalo Laila' team those were hits in rural areas of AP.

With the above reasons, the audio of new 'Yama Gola' is running well, say the sources.
