THE SEVEN 'SHAKY' WONDER GIRLS OF TELUGU CINEMA

They made waves in Telugu cinema not long ago with their wonderful performances. And even acted with some of the top heroes. But today, they have slowed down. Though they have been trying their best to regain their lost glory, it is a forgone conclusion that they are on shaky ground, and are on their way out.

Take a look at these seven 'shaky' heroines of Tollywood.

TOLLYWOOD HEADLINES OF THE DAY

* It is confirmed now. Sneha will be acting opposite Raja in the new film, Nee Sukhame Ne Korukunta, to be directed by Giri Babu.

* Allari Naresh's Seema Sastry has completed shooting. The film, directed by G Nageswara Reddy, is getting ready for release.

* O...Chinnari Korika highlights the kind of attention parents devote to their children in their mad rush to make their riches. The film is directed by Nagendra Kumar and produced by V V V Lakshmi.

* Cinematographer Ashok Kumar's Manchu Kurise Velalo has finished shooting and is releasing on August 10.

* The Baladitya-Gayatri starrer Sandhya is currently underway and is making progress.

WILL SOMEONE TELL GIRI BABU THAT SNEHA LOOKS AWFUL OPPOSITE RAJA?

Veteran actor Giri Babu, who has donned many a caps during his heydays, wants to direct now. And he is busy making efforts to rope in the right actors -- by right if you mean pairing the heavyweight -- literally -- opposite Raja.

It is reported that Priyamani, Raja's alleged heartthrob, was actually supposed to be cast in the film, but for reasons unknown to us, lack of dates or whatever, they've settled for Sneha. Wonder what the fate of the film would be.

However, this is not Giri Babu's first film. He had earlier directed Garjana, some 20 years back, to introduce his son into Tollywood. And the film bombed without a trace.
