Mahesh Babu's dream project abandoned!

There will be a hidden jinx in transforming the epic classics into successful movies. Apparently, it was in yester generations that heroes like NTR, ANR and other legendary personalities passed in bringing mythological and historical concepts on screen. In this time period Mani Ratnam planned of bringing an on screen form to 'Ponniyin Selvan', a novel based on historical evidences of Tamil Nadu. This film which has the involvement of a mega budget of over Rs.100 Crores is now heard to be abandoned for the sake of high budget. Ace director Mani Ratnam's year long hard work will be poured into dustbin along with shining star cast of Mahesh Babu, Vijay, Anushka and Priyanka Chopra will be surely disappointed. Neither any of the official reason is given for this sudden shelving nor is the production firm concerned with the project ready to open up the reason. Internal sources support that financial backing of this premier production house is the reason behind renouncing this dream project of Mahesh Babu and Mani Ratnam.

I would love to kiss an actress: Top Heroine

Hot beauty Priyanka Chopra, who has portrayed many bold characters in the past, says she is not comfortable with nudity in films. "Nudity is something that I wouldn't be comfortable with. Even if I play the most complex and weird parts which are raunchy or whatever it has to be, the portrayal of a character is to a point where it is aesthetically done. It has to be something that I won't be averse to showing my parents. I have to be able to sit with them and watch it." The actress also said that, she wouldn't mind kissing even a girl on the screen. "If it was in a part that I was really eager to do, I would still consider it but as of now, nothing has made me do that. I would love to kiss an actress on screen...but she should be hot," said Priyanka. To a query on model Poonam Pandey, who had expressed her willingness to strip for the World Cup winning Indian team, Priyanka said, "The main thing is she did not go nude. She did not do what she had said. It is her life she can do whatever she wants to," she said.

Mahesh Babu thanks director for sexy lady!

Ever since Tamil hero Vijay ran away with lead role in Rs.200 crore budgeted 'Veerudu' film directed by Mani Ratnam, the other hero in project Mahesh Babu is substantially sidelined.

If all goes well, Mahesh Babu will get Bollywood sexy lady Priyanka Chopra for romance in this flick. B-Town's combo of style with simplicity, Priyanka Chopra is being considered for the lead role besides Mahesh Babu. The pretty girl is yet to meet Mani Ratnam and give her acceptance. According to the sources, Priyanka Chopra is very much excited to work with Mahesh Babu and Mani Ratnam but for now she is tight lipped until everything becomes official. Prince should thank his director for importing bombshell like Priyanka and undoubtedly Vijay will be upset to adjust with Anushka.
