ME REFUSING TO DO A FILM WITH CHIRANJEEVI? I SHOULD BE MAD: NAYANATARA SETS THE RECORD STRAIGHT

Nayanatara is one of the prettiest actresses in the South. And she has done some really wow roles both in Tamil and Telugu. The young would die for a body like hers. And anyone who is popular is inevitably dragged into controversies. But, fortunately, her affair with Simbu has faded away from the public memory, though traces of it are still visible in the Tamil gossip magazines.

But one controversy that she has been silent about for some time now is her reported refusal to do a film with Chiranjeevi, which is currently underway. But now, the actress speaks up and explains it was a figment of gossipmongers' fertile imagination. Says she, "My career in Telugu cinema is still in its formative years. I'm aware of my position in the industry and Chiranjeevi's larger-than-life status. How can I refuse an offer to act with him? The fact is that nobody has still approached me with such an offer! If indeed an opportunity comes my way in the future, I will be the happiest girl to act against the megastar."

So, that puts to rest all the nagging voices, I suppose.

Vedika, new bakra in Simbu's trap?

Muni came and went and it has failed to excite any meditative comment from the Telugu film fans. Like good corporate employees they took the brief of the title too seriously and decided to keep far away from the film like the munis of yore. Lawrence, hero-director of the film, went to town on all the TV channels, who bent over backwards to offer their precious telecast time, but he didn't manage to cut any ice. So sad. But the heroine, Vedika, has made the most from her exposure on the promos and the talk shows. She has bagged a couple of films in Tamil and Telugu. And, wait before you can say aaaaah! she has been going gaga over Simbu. Now don't ask me who Simbu is. The same guy who caused nightmarish moments to Nayanatara with his sadistic behaviour. Poor Vedika doesn't seem to know about Simbu-Nayanatara episode. She calls him a 'genius' and goes to great lengths to explain how 'intelligent' and 'smart' he is. And how in just a week she was able to 'connect' to him with aplomb. Seems another love story is in the offing for Simbu, who desperately needs to cling to someone to forget his old ladylove.
