Samantha's Trip:
The lovely smile beauty Samantha has been on her toes since quite a while and she is running on packed schedules with some big ticket projects on hand.
It looks like shooting and being part of the music recording was not the only thing which Samantha did in her recent trip to London. She revealed that she even watched a Broadway musical named ‘Wicked’ and apparently, the play stunned her. “I got to watch a broadway musical in london called ‘wicked’ simply brilliant..literally had my mouth open throughout..was magic the talent..” Samantha posted on Twitter. She’s back in India now and she has more reasons to smile.
Yesterday, she told that she had lost her bags in transit. Thankfully, her lost baggage was found and it was delivered to her home earlier today. She’s gearing up for the audio launch of Eega on March 30.
As if that is not enough, Samantha has got 'Yeto Vellipoyindhi Manasu','Seetamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu','Autonagar Surya' with Chaitu, 'Yevadu' with Ram Charan, 'Kadal' being directed by Mani Ratnam and another project with southern stud Siddarth. If she manages to score atleast 50% hits out of these then she will become the ruling queen of south cinema.
Friendships are not permanent: Siddharth
Youthful hero Siddharth says that friendships in the industry are not permanent. The actor made the statement in an interview given to a leading newspaper. “Friendships in the industry are not permanent.
They will change often and will widely alter based on the project you are into currently”, said Siddharth. The actor also went on to say that he does not belong to any one ‘group’ in the industry.
“I don’t limit myself to any one group. I am on good terms with most people and they respect me for my work”, says Siddharth. He expressed his happiness at the success of his last film ‘Love Failure’ and said that he would continue to make films that are ‘good’ and ‘different’.
Charan Gets a Super Birthday Gift
Everyone knows actor Ram Charan Tej's love for horses. The actor who took his love for horses and polo to a new level when he became the owner of a polo team, has now added another prized possession to his stud farm.
As a gift to him on his 27th Birthday, the actor's fiance Upasana and her family gifted him a horse. Posting a picture of his prized possession, the actor said, "B'day gift from my in-laws. Its a beautiful horse (sic)." The picture sees a visibly happy Charan riding his new horse.

Flowers thrown at "Shraddha Das's" face!!!!
Actress Shraddha Das was in for some crazy surprise as fans threw garlands at her when she paid a visit to kurnool district for the opening of a sari showroom. The actress, who seemed excited prior to the event, was quite taken aback while on her return.
An excited Shraddha had announced earlier, "Off to Kurnool district early morning tomorrow, opening a saree showroom." But it was a different story while she was on her way back to Hyderabad. Talking about it, Sharaddha says, "My God! Crazyyyy crowds in Kurnool, garland thrown at my face!"
Shraddha had another inauguration in the pipeline. She had to inaugurate a designer exhibition in Hyderabad and so, she quickly laughed off the incident.
In fact, the actress has been quite a regular with inauguration that she can't really remember how many showrooms she has inaugurated. "I have lost count of the number of showrooms I have opened by now, I guess they should cal me 'inauguration queen' instead of 'sequel queen'," she laughs.

Underplayed NTR, overplayed violence...!!!
Oosaravelli, starring NTR and Tamannaah, is so violent that it stands the risk of being misinterpreted as loud and pointless. However, behind this veil of violence lies a tale of a young woman who seeks the help of a guy to avenge her family’s murders.
Directed by Surender Reddy, the film inspired from a 2009 Hong Kong-French film Vengeance, might be a big surprise for NTR’s fans because it’s probably the first time in recent years where he has underplayed his character so much. We are told that Tony (NTR) has a peculiar character and no one can guess what he’ll do next. The scene shifts to Kashmir where Tony bumps into Niharika (Tamannaah). He saves her from a group of terrorists; however, before the two meet she goes to Hyderabad. Tony follows her and one fine day he comes to know that she’s already engaged.
He plays several tricks to befriend Niharika and her friend Chitra (Payal Ghosh) and soon he ends up confronting with Niharika’s fiancé. And suddenly everything changes. Tony is a man on a mission and what it is and why Niharika is so important to him forms the rest of this story.
First things first, the title suggests that Tony (NTR) does whatever it takes to achieve his goal and it’s a pleasant surprise to find that NTR is made to underplay his character. Except the climax, which is over the top and a bloody mess, Surender Reddy holds the interest for most part, particularly in the second half.
One problem with the film is that nothing really happens in the first half. It’s filled with several gags which have a hangover of ‘Kick’ and the director ends up spending too much time in setting the relationship between the leads; however, the second half where the entire story unfolds, it all begins to make sense.
The drama in second half is engrossing and kudos to Surender Reddy who shifts most of the focus to Tamannaah. She’s the surprise package of the film and Tamannaah makes great use of the opportunity. NTR is good in his role and for a change the punch dialogues and heroism are kept to bare minimum.
It’s a cakewalk for Prakash Raj, who plays Ajju Bhai, as he has done such roles several times. Payal Ghosh, Jayprakash Reddy and Raghu Babu are good in their roles. The story written by Vakkantham Vamsi gives enough scope for NTR and Tamannaah to perform well, although nothing really happens in the first half.
Devi Sri Prasad’s music is passable and the editing is good. Surender Reddy scores well in terms of direction and the screenplay goes back and forth most of the times. Oosaravelli is unabashedly violent and gets serious as the drama unfolds. It’s not a bad film at all and it does have its flashes of brilliance but it could have been so much better.

Devi Sri talks about his 'affairs'...!!!
He is frank in admitting that going by his alleged link-ups; he is the most flamboyant personality in Tollywood. "Most people think I party all night long as well as during the weekends," says Devi Sri Prasad. The truth he claims is that he has so much work that he has no time to even "eat or sleep properly".
His long-time bond with Charmme has resulted in rumors of them getting married. "That's not true because she is nothing more than a good friend and also I haven't given marriage a thought. My parents are pestering me to settle down but right now my focus is work.
Given a choice, many married guys would like to become bachelors again," he smiles.
He launched actor Swathi as a singer in 100% Love. "She is one of my close friends, but I discovered she has a sweet voice so I made her sing. People speculated we were involved because we performed on stage together several times," he reasons.
He adds, "Take it or leave it. Nothing can stop me from letting my hair down at select things. As long as my parents and friends trust me, I don't shudder at anything," he says.
The composer carries the same attitude even in his professional life. "I will do only films that give me the freedom to innovate as I did with Jr NTR in Ooseravelli," he informs.
"I have special bond with NTR as we gelled together fantastically. He's also famous for bringing energy on to the screen. This is my fourth film with him and for the first time in NTR's career this album has number of melodies than any film in his career. I am glad that the music is now topping the chart busters."

Rajini does a cameo in 'Ra.One'! SRK confirms...!!!
Whether Superstar Rajinikanth will do a cameo or not in Shahrukh Khan's Diwali release, 'Ra.One', has been the talk in the film industry for many days now. Finally, through his microblogging page SRK confirmed that Rajini graced the sets of 'Ra.One'.
SRK wrote, "Misconcepts, misunderstood, stressed and then Rajini sir walks in the sets of Ra.One and you know why God made films! Thanks Soundarya for making our dream come true. Ra.One completed today, Rajini sir blessed it. I have tears in my eyes of gratitude and only prayers and love for his whole family. You complete us sir".
Quite a touching statement from the King Khan isn't it?
The shoot took place yesterday (Gandhi Jayanthi) at Whistling Woods Studio in Mumbai, although the scenes were supposed to be canned at Hyderabad, the location was changed by the team. The scenes were shot at a fast pace and were completed within three hours time!
