Tollywood grapevine is abuzz that Pawan Kalyan will do a cameo in Charan's upcoming film Merupu under Dharani direction. It is worth mentioning here that Dharani directed Pawan's Bangaram and despite its failure Pawan admires Dharani's talent. Merupu producers made Annavaram with Pawan Kalyan in the past. Kajal is the heroine in this film. Merupu is expected to hit the screens for next Pongal.

Silambarasan known for his rollicking love affairs in the past is all set to settle down with his lady love. The hero who recently altered his Little Superstar title, seems to be making a conscious effort to change his image to that of a sophisticated, young gentleman from the previous image of a romeo.

Having proclaimed his affinity for Anushka, soon after her Arundhati success, the charmer has never hidden his feelings for her. However the marriage has come as a total shocker to the industry and friends.

Simbu has already indulged his ladylove in some expensive gifts, including a De Beers diamond necklace and a Mont Blanc pen, with which Anushka has even inked a few film contracts. The couple has also recently been house hunting in posh localities like Boat Club and Poes Garden.

Simbu who has been linked with some of his past heroines says, "Anushka is a total beauty. I admire her professionalism and the grace with which she handles her personal life. Truly, I am lucky to have her." The beauty is apparently visiting all the Chennai designers to plan her trousseau and her makeup artiste Nikki has already started exploring 'looks' for her big day.

Dressed in an elegant Manish Malhotra pink saree and glowing with shimmery cheek blush, the actress visited Simbu's parents and sought their blessings last week. After the wedding, which is going to be a "simple south Indian affair," Simbu shares, "I am planning to take her to Rome or Florence for the honeymoon. She deserves the best."

Anushka speaking to the paper also disclosed, "I love his X6 BMW. He took me on a long drive and that's when he proposed to me. I had to say yes, since he is such a well brought up person with nice values." Visiting temples might not be Simbu's favourite pastime, but he has apparently taken Anushka to an Amman temple in Kalakshetra colony in Besant Nagar to show his commitment towards marriage.

Although the couple believes in keeping it simple, the wedding is set to be a glitzy affair with some of the couple's closest star pals in attendance.

Simbu is planning to get his clothes done by Sidney Sladen, while Anushka is still on the lookout for a designer. Simbu who proposed to Anushka during a long drive, presented her with a solitaire ring from Tiffany's.

Managing to surprise his close friends, Simbu told his dear ones about the marriage during a night out at a city bar . After marriage the couple plans to set up home in Chennai and plan to initiate their own production house.

Reemma Sen, who is playing a journalist in her next Bollywood venture, Society, had to reportedly go through 30 retakes to get the perfect kiss.

Reemma laughs, “I wasn’t counting the number of retakes, but there were quite a few. I don’t think it’s a big deal because it was just a peck on the cheek, not an intimate kiss. Rajvirr Singh (her co-star) is a newcomer and I guess he was a bit tense while kissing me in front of the entire crew.”

While Reemma didn’t mind the number of retakes, she admits she’s hesitant about doing intimate kissing scenes in movies. “I know that kissing scenes and bikinis are not abig deal anymore. But I wouldn’t be comfortable doing it. I’d have to give it some thought,” she says.
As for Society, Reemma says it’s a feel-good film and her character a bubbly one. “While the film has a serious message, it’s been delivered in a fun way. My character is full of energy all the time. While working on the film, I understood the deadlines that journalists have to face every day,” she says. Reemma is also starring in Priyadarsan’s next film, Aakrosh, with Akshay Kumar. “Priyadarsan takes a break from comedies and delves into an important issue in this film,” she says.

While Reemma has delivered a couple of hits in Tamil and Telugu, her appearances in Bollywood have been few and far between. “As an actor, I try to exercise complete control over things. I’ve done a few commercial films, but sometimes you have to make the best of what you get. As of now, I just want to concentrate onBollywood,” she maintains.

True to her demand, the pretty girl has hiked up her meter and it seems that she is charging Rs 1 lakh per day.The actress charged Rs. 1 lakh per day and has given her call sheets for 100 days

Sources reveal that this is Kajal’s remuneration for the new venture ‘Chandi’ which is being directed by Kodi Ramakrishna and produced by M S Raju.

The prospective groom is facing allegations of marrying and dumping a woman, but Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza backed Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik on the matter, saying that she and her family have known the truth all along.

Although she did not mention Shoaib directly, Sania’s latest twitter feed clearly supported her husband-to-be, who has been accused of cheating a Hyderabadi girl Ayesha Siddiqui after a telephonic nikah.”Me and my family know what the truth is, we’ve known it all along and we have confidence in god’s justice,” Sania said.

The 24-year-old has been flayed by the Shiv Sena and some other right wing parties for deciding to marry the Pakistani all-rounder.Getting ready for the “biggest day” of her life, Sania said she never thought she would have to deal with so many things apart from the regular pre-wedding jitters.

“Too much going on, never in my life thought that I’d had to worry about anything of this sort, rather than my mehendi!” she said.”Leaves me with no choice but to laugh. I am pretty sure these are not the pre-wedding jitters or butterflies in the stomach my married cousins were talking about!” she quipped.

Meanwhile, Shoaib’s family has got in touch with Delhi-based criminal lawyer Ramesh Gupta, who has been representing them in the battle with the Siddiquis for the past two years.

Ayesha’s family alleges that Shoaib married her over phone but dumped her later due to her weight problems.

Shraddha Das may well be a Bengali but lately, she has decided to make Hyderabad her home. As part of this, she has also taken a new flat in the city. Meanwhile, she was present at the Kalamandir celebrations event and with a purpose.

Sources say that Shraddha was eagerly waiting for the arrival of the Bollywood hero Vivek Oberoi and much to her test, Vivek came late. She waited for a real long time and wanted to rub shoulders with the brash hunk. That way, she wanted to put in her ladder to the Bollywood arena by building a rapport with Vivek.

Already, Shraddha was seen recently in the Bollywood movie ‘Lahore’ and got a decent response for her performance.

Anyways, Vivek did come, Shraddha did spend time with him, let us see what the result of all this will be now.

The film ‘Varudu’ is all set to hit the screens tomorrow and while the expectations are high on it, even the curiosity levels are equally high.

However, this has also given rise to another talk. Many are now taking the example of the film ‘Oy’ wherein the face of Shamili was kept under wraps till the release. After it was unveiled, many loathed her flabby look and the film also sank at the box office. Now, the same element of risk threatens ‘Varudu’.

However, some say that director Gunasekhar has got an eye for the women so his choice of actresses is usually beautiful. But this is Tollywood and anything can happen here so all are keeping their fingers crossed to see what is going to happen with the leading lady of this one.

For now, she has the action packed treat ‘Bhavani IPS’ which has been waiting to see the light since ages and not much has been happening for her in terms of offers. So with time running out, many say that it is better Sneha starts going through those profiles and gears up for the marriage bells.
