NIKHITA GETS A CHANCE TO PROVE HERSELF, AND SHE IS DETERMINED TO MAKE THE BEST OF IT

Very rarely do actresses get a chance to prove themselves -- that is their talent. Especially in Tollywood where they are cast in a film only to run around bushes and trees, and what not with the heroes. But, now, after a long wait, Nikhita has a chance to display her mettle, instead of her assets for a change. We hear that director Ravi Babu is planning to remake the Hindi film Life in a .....Metro, which partly revolves around a call centre, in Telugu. And Nikhita is reportedly chosen to play the role essayed by Shilpa Shetty in the original. Given Ravi Babu's penchant for detail, the gritty girl, we are told, is eagerly looking forward to prove herself and put to rest all rumours that she is just a glamour doll. Okay, Nikhita, we can only say carry on!!

BHUMIKA GETS ANOTHER CENTRAL ROLE IN ANASUYA: WILL SHE BE ABLE TO WORK THE MISSAMMA MAGIC?

Bhumika Chawla has done some wonderful roles in Tollywood. And she will be remembered for her immensely popular role in and as Missamma. Her histrionics were not only brilliant but also well received by the Telugu audiences. No wonder, she got a similar role in Satyabhama, which is slated for release now. Even before it could hit the screens, Bhumika has been cast in another woman-oriented role Anasuya. The director claims that the character has a lot of potential to tap the still hidden talent of Bhumika. He says it will bring out the best in Bhumika, and wants us to believe that it would definitely be a wonder on Telugu cinema. The shooting of the film is presently on in Hyderabad. The other actors in the film include Abbas and Nikhita.

THREE HEROINES WANT TO OOOZE THEIR OOMPH AND SIZZLE AWAY INTO THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE. WILL SOKMEONE PLEASE RESPOND?

Anoushka wants to strip, Veda wants to lay bare her assets, and Ankita wants to be seen as skimpily as possible. The stripping mania seems to grip the Telugu heroines, who are dying to make their mark on Tollywood. And for good reason. The moolah that is offered is mindboggling, we hear. And the added benefits in the form of showroom openings, and other advertisements is too huge to forget about it. Therefore, every heroine worth her salt wants to project herself as the sex goddess. All the three -- Ankita, Veda and Anoushka -- have called for press conferences to announce that their fab bodies are on offer as long as it is a star. Presently, Anoushka is a little better as she is doing a film with Gopichand and another with Nagarjuna. And yet another one with Bhumika Chawla. Of course, she plays a second heroine in the last one to be directed by Ravi Babu. But she wants to steal more and more of the limelight. And show the filmmakers that she means business. That is, she can set the cash registers ringing. And Ankita too has moved her bag and baggage to Hyderabad, and doesn't want to leave Tollywood till she gets her rightful place in the Telugu film industry. And the latest entrant has been Veda. The girl with the cute looks may not necessarily have a sexy body, but maybe in the right hands, she might turn out to be a fabulous heroine. Will someone listen to them?

BHUMIKA BAGS ANOTHER ROLE A LA MISSAMMA: THIS TIME SHE IS CALLED ANASUYA

Bhoomika is one of the few actresses who can carry a film on her own shoulders. And Missamma not only displayed her histrionic talents to the hilt, but also opened the floodgates of accolades for her. Not just Missamma. One should see her scenes with Telangana Shakuntala and Prakash Raj in Okkadu egging them on to grovel in their madness. The way she makes both of them bite the dust with her stinging words and with the simplest of feelings is ample proof of the tonnes of talent she is endowed with. Presently, she is busy with Satyabhama, a role she says would be remembered forever like Missamma. Even before the film can be completed, now she is offered another heroine-oriented role, Anasuya, by director Ravi Babu. Anoushka plays the second lead in the film, which got underway on Monday in Hyderabad. Let us hope that she Bhoomika blaze a trail with her new role.
