CHITRAM BHALARE VICHITRAM WILL ALWAYS REMAIN ONE OF THE HILARIOUS COMEDIES IN TELUGU CINEMA: CHECK IT OUT

WE HEAR, VENU AND NARESH HAVE BECOME THE NOISIET GUYS OF TOLLYWOOD, WHAT IS THEIR ALLARI ALL ABOUT?

TANU ROY IS DOING ITEM NUMBERS AND HAS THE GUTS TO SAY SHE DOESN'T HAVE A CHOICE

Here is one actress who takes life as it comes. And doesn't give us bakwas over whatever she has been doing. Tanu Roy, the heroine of Itlu Sravani Subramanyam, has been lying low for quite some time. Though the film catapulted Ravi Teja into the big league, poor Tanu couldn't cash in on her popularity. Her only notable films after Itlu... have been Anandam, where she did a decent role, and Manasantha Nuvve. After that, she was deserted by Dame Luck, and like others of her ilk, she ended up doing itsy-bitsy roles, which have been forgotten by the audiences. Naturally, she veered towards item numbers.

That is where we caught up with her while shooting for an item number for a Naresh starrer Pellikani Prasad. "I want to do good roles, but what do I do when I don't get roles that I aspire for, I have to settle for whatever I get," she says matter-of-factly and doesn't couch her 'item' act in what's-wrong-in-doing-item-numbers talk. Your frankness will take you a long way Tanu Roy.

PREETI JHANGIANI WANTS TO MAKE IT BIG IN TOLLYWOOD AGAIN. GETS CAST IN AN INSIGFICANT FILM

Remember Preeti Jhangiani? The cute little kid who covered herself all over in Mohabbatein, and predictably after not getting any offers after that, decided to strip her way to stardom. But, unfortunately, there were no takers for her. So, many of her ilk, she has been hanging around the sidelines of the Hindi film industry on the lookout for bakras.

The dame, who had earlier acted in a couple of Telugu films, including Narasimha Naidu, opposite Balakrishna, and with Pawan Kalyan in Tammudu, has entered the Telugu film industry once again to try her luck. But this time, there are no big offers coming her way. She is cast opposite Rajiv Kanakala and Allari Naresh, in a film the latter are doing together.

But what is important is that the babe wants to settle down in the South, especially in Hyderabad, for which she has been learning to speak Telugu, we hear. Little wonder, why all the actors seek to cast their spell on the Telugu audiences when their heydays are over!!
