Deva Katta quashes rumours on Autonagar Surya...!!!

Deva Katta has finally quashed rumours on his upcoming film Autonagar Surya. Earlier today, a leading newspaper reported that Autonagar Surya is going to be kept on a backburner for few more months. The reason, which the newspaper stated, was Nagarjuna and his concern for his son, Naga Chaitanya’s career. According to the gossip, apparently Nagarjuna is very upset after Dhada turned out to be a flop. Since RGV’s Bezawada, Nagarjuna thought that another action film right after that might not be a good move for Naga Chaitanya’s career. Hence, he had reportedly put Deva Katta’s Autonagar Surya on backburner. The newspaper even quoted one of Deva Katta’s tweet which was hardly a give away.

With such rumours and gossip in air, Deva Katta has officially confirmed that the film will go on floors as planned. The film will be shot in Vijayawada on October 6. Art director Ravinder has reportedly a special set for ‘Autonagar’ for this film. Samantha is the heroine and Anup Rubens is the music director.

The original s3x siren --- Silk Smitha(Bio.)(D!rty picture movie plot)..

The original sex siren

South’s siren of yesteryears, Vijayalakshmi aka Silk Smitha, got her first major break in 1979 in Vandichakram’ (wheel). The film brought her not just critical acclaim, but a new title Silk after the name of the character she portrayed in the movie. That was the birth of Silk Smitha, south’s first original sex siren. Considered an epitome of Indian glamour as seen only in sculptures of olden days, Smitha ruled almost every male’s heart in the South.

Symbol of sensuality

Silk Smitha went on to star in over 200 Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada and a few Hindi films. Her dance numbers and her bold performances in films like Moondru Mugam made her the ultimate symbol of sensuality in Tamil, Kannada. Malayalam and Telugu cinema. Her item numbers in films like Amaran were also celebrated at the box office.

Adult-film actress?

Some film critics, historians and journalists have referred to her as a 'soft core' actress. The vast majority of her movies are softcore and a common theme is her playing a freakishly strong agent in skimpy bikinis beating up huge thugs. Even in the rare non-sexual roles, she impressed critics and audiences, such as her role of a wife hurt by her husband's infidelity in Seethakoka Chilaka (1981). Her most respected film is Moondram Pirai, remade as Sadma.

Fan following

Though she did roles that portrayed her like a sex bomb, she's proved herself to be a reasonable good actress with films like Moondraam Pirai and Alaiygal Oyvathillai. The spell she had on the film industry can be gauged from the fact that her last film in the lead, 'Thanga Thamarai', was completed 11 years after her death (1996) and still got a theatre release.

Silk Smitha revolutionised southern India's prolific film industry through her song-and-dance and cabaret numbers in some 300 films.
She performed these numbers so provocatively that leading Tamil, Telegu and Malayalam distributors from the south would only accept films which included her sultry and erotic cabarets, irrespective of whether the story line warranted them or not. For her efforts and her rather ample, though supple bulk she was christened "Thundering Thighs".
Smitha initially played serious lead roles in several Telegu films, but, over-partial to revealing, sequinned bodices and low-slung, tight-fitting saris, she was eventually typecast as the ultimate sex-siren, utterly desirable but just out of reach. Then, after nearly 20 years of playing such roles, Smitha's career floundered and she moved, rather disastrously, into producing movies. Two of her Telugu films (her last films)flopped at the box office while the third, was also a failure. Smitha had borrowed heavily to make these films and this, combined with her unhappy personal life and alcohol dependency, finally led to her committing suicide. 

Born into a poor family in Eluru in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh in 1960, she was christened Vijayalakshmi but, at an early age changed her name to Smitha. After Vandi Chakkaram ("The Wheel"), her first Tamil film in 1979, Smitha began calling herself "Silk" after the bar girl of that name she played in the movie. Silk is also an anglicised word for "silku", used colloquially in parts of south India to mean an "endearing flirt with a touch of glamour", a sobriquet which suited her screen persona.

Smitha left school after the fourth standard determined to become a film star, and at the age of nine moved in with her aunt in Madras, the centre of southern India's booming film industry. Madras easily rivals Bollywood, India's film capital city of Bombay, not only in the number of films it produces annually and its lavish studios, but also in the number of box- office hits it produces. Southern India's film industry also has a firmer grip on the locals than anywhere else in the country. The cult of the film star M.G. Ramachandran, better known as MGR, who became the chief minister of Tamil Nadu state on the strength of his acting career, was so all- encompassing that scores of Tamilians committed suicide by setting themselves on fire or jumping out of moving trains when he died in the mid- Eighties. Smitha too became a household name after Tamil films like Moondram Pirai ("Third night of the New Moon"), Moondru Mugam ("Three Faces") and Kozhi Kuvuthu ("The Cock is Crowing"). Besides Tamil cinema she also featured in scores of Telegu, Malayalam and even mainstream Hindi films in Bollywood. Smitha's personal life, however, contrasted sharply with her screen persona. She was deeply religious and like many pious Indians had her own little temple at home where she prayed several times a day.


Death

In 1996, Smitha was found dead in her Chennai apartment. In the previous year she had tried to shift career in order to become a film producer. Financial problems, a disillusionment in love and an alcohol dependency apparently led to depression. It is suspected that Smitha committed suicide.
