The Bachchan household in Mumbai is filled with hustle and bustle and happiness is all around. The reason for that is the much awaited pregnancy of their daughter-in-law Aishwarya Bachchan. While that is the bright side, here is another update which is coming from sources close to hubby Abhishek Bachchan.

It is heard that Abhishek Bachchan has been sharing few thoughts with his friends and close circuit. He has reportedly said “Ash’s pregnancy is an accident. Ideally, we would have gone ahead and wrapped up all the assignments we had. Then we wanted to start working on the family part.”

He added “However, this has happened accidentally. Few adjustments have to be made now but finally what matters is the good news.” While Abhi may have expressed candidly, it remains to be seen how the producers and directors who roped in Aishwarya for their projects are dealing with the entire ‘accident’.

Hot Heroine's BF Making Rounds

Though they are not talking about it openly, it is an open talk that hero Siddarth and actress Shruti Haasan are currently having a live-in relationship. While things seem to be okay on the personal front, there seems to be a contrasting situation on the professional front for both.

On one hand, Siddarth is scoring flop after flop while Shruti is bagging all big ticket movies. Now, it is heard that Siddarth has begun making rounds around Shruti for not willing to lose her friendship. A common friend to both revealed that Sidz is suffering from inferiority complex due to the recent developments.

While Sidz is making rounds of Shruti, the pretty girl has bagged a biggie with NTR Junior and already, the talk is that she is the leading lady for ‘Gabbar Singh’ starring Pawan Kalyan. Many are suggesting it is time Siddarth takes the relation to a next level before their careers cause some cracks in their relationship.

Balayya's Signal To Attack MS Reddy

Thanks to the presence of electronic media, this will be alive for a while and now it is heard that Nandamuri Balakrishna has given his signal to show his reaction.

Recently, there was a program in the TV9 channel about M S Reddy’s doing and his actions were severely criticised by the noted producer Katragadda Prasad. While the onslaught was severe, inside sources say this was the result of Balayya’s indication. The reason is because a lot of negativity was written on N T Rama Rao.

Few incidents were also about NTR Junior and it is heard that Balayya has not taken this sweetly. The talk in filmnagar circles is that the Katragadda Prasad attack is actually an initiation from the Nandamuri family and they add that more of such things are likely to follow.

Siddarth: 'TV Media Cannot Pluck My Hair'

It has often been said by the film nagar folks that actor Siddarth is a talented individual but it is his attitude and headstrong nature which is not getting him favourable response. Now, his recent set of statements in Twitter on the Telugu news channels has triggered another controversy. However, the actor doesn’t seem too fazed about it.

Apparently, the news channels association has demanded an action on Siddarth for his statements. Knowing this, Sidz is reportedly saying this in front of his friends “TV Media or cine circuit cannot pluck my hair. Earlier, they jumped against Prakash Raj, what happened? I don’t want to take my tweet back. Ultimately, talent matters in the cinema industry.”

He added “For what I have the cine folks will always take me. Even if the media projects me on positive or negative note, I will be taken.” Those who heard this are saying “Siddarth’s reaction like this in front of his friends is okay. Let us see if he does the same in front of the media also.”

Addressing to The President, MAA, the Film Newscasters Association of Electronic Media wrote, "This is to bring it to your kind notice that Actor Siddarth is having a habit of making derogatory statements frequently against the journalists.

Hence we would request you to do the needful for taking necessary action against Actor Siddarth, failure in which we from the Film Newscasters Association of Electronic Media will be forced to initiate suitable action against him".

Producer Absconding, Seeks Anticipatory Bail

Noted Telugu film producer C Kalyan, who was suspected for his alleged links with Bhanu Kiran, the prime accused in the murder of Rayalaseema faction leader Maddelacheruvu Suri, has gone underground, after the CID police arrested his fellow producer Singanamala Ramesh.

Kalyan, who produced noted film maker Ram Gopal Varma’s controversial film Raktha Charitra, filed a petition in the Nampally criminal courts on Tuesday, seeking anticipatory bail to pre-empt arrest by the CID police. The petition is expected to come up for hearing on Wednesday.

The CID police, who sought 10-day police custody of Ramesh, are on the look out for Kalyan as well, as both of them had close association with Bhanu.

Preliminary investigations revealed that Bhanu and his accomplice Madhumohan Reddy (who was driving the vehicle in which Suri was shot dead) hold the accounts in the same bank branch along with Kalyan and Singanamala Ramesh.

“It may not be accidental that all these accounts are in the same branch. We are probing into the nexus between the Rayalaseema gangsters and the Telugu film industry,” police sources said.

During earlier investigations, Kalyan reportedly told the police that Bhanu was only a financial coordinator and had helped him and Varma to identify the locations for film shooting in Anantapur and Hyderabad.

However, the police suspect that Bhanu might be providing finances to several films in the Telugu film industry.

Chiranjeevi: 'My Aim At Chief Minister Seat'

The secret ambition of the actor-turned-politician Chiranjeevi has come out in the open!  He wants to become the Chief Minister of the state.

“The people want to see me as Chief Minister,” he declared on Tuesday in comments that lay bare his intentions behind merging his 30 month old Praja Rajyam Party with the Congress. He also announced that he would quit acting and devote full time for politics.

“Though I had earlier expressed my desire to resume acting, I have now decided to quit films and concentrate full-time on politics,” Chiranjeevi said.

“Instead of playing the role of a CM in movies, I want to become CM in real life,” he said. While declaring his son Ramcharan Teja as his successor in acting, the ageing star made it clear that he would strive to be in the midst of people and solve their problems.

”I will be more comfortable as CM in real life than playing the role in a movie,” he declared while participating in a private function in Hyderabad. His sensational comments came at a time when he is tipped for a cabinet berth at the Centre in return for merging his PRP with Congress.

One gets the doubt whether the Congress central leadership has promised Chiranjeevi to project him as the Chief Ministerial candidate in the 2014 elections.

There is a perception in political circles that the Reddy community, the traditional support base of Congress, is slipping away from the ruling party and would eventually gravitate towards YSR Congress Party headed by Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy. The Congress is desperate to woo other sections and also add glamour quotient to it.

Comment: Don't build castles in air, Mr Chiru!

Newly-inducted Congress leader K Chiranjeevi appears to be too ambitious about his political career and considering himself a god-sent gift to the Andhra politics.

The political circles were taken by surprise with his comment that the people want to see him as Chief Minister in the real life and not in reel life and that he would ascend the throne sooner or later.

Call it an audacious or an arrogant or an ambitious statement; but it is pretty evident that Chiranjeevi is imagining too big about himself.

Just because Congress president Sonia Gandhi had personally requested him to merge his Praja Rajyam Party with her party; just because a senior most leader like A K Antony airdashed to Hyderabad to exclusively meet him in Hyderabad and just because, he was invited to New Delhi a couple of times for a brain-storming meeting with the top leaders of the Congress high command, Chiranjeevi feels that the Congresss party had no other leader who could match him in charisma and popularity; and hence, he stands a fair chance of becoming the chief minister.

But poor Chiranjeevi seems to be unaware of the Congress style of politics. In this party, everybody is a leader and everybody wants to outsmart others to rise to the hot seat. Already, Kadapa MP Y S Jaganmohan Reddy left the Congress party just because he was denied the Chief Minister post and floated his own regional party – YSR Congress Party – to try his luck by going into the people. Pradesh Congress Committee president Botsa Satyanarayana has already expressed his ambition to become the chief minister one day or the other for which he has already started preparing the ground. There are many others who are in the queue – K Jana Reddy, D Srinivas, Lagadapti Rajagopal and Daggubati Purandeshwari, who have never hidden their ambitions to become the chief ministers.

Secondly, Chiranjeevi has proved himself a flop show in politics. In his first attempt itself, he lost the elections from his native town Palakole in West Godavari district and won with not-so-impressive margin in Tirupati. And going by the field reports, it is extremely difficult for Chiranjeevi to retain the Tirupati seat again in the next elections, given the emergence of YSR Congress party as a strong political force in this constituency. One doubts whether Chiranjeevi will dare contest from Tirupati again.

And yes, there is still some chance for Chiranjeevi. Now that he has merged his party with the Congress, he has to resign from his assembly seat and contest again from Tirupati. If he can win with a comfortable majority, then he can still project himself as a strong force and can stake claim for the Chief Minister post. But in the present circumstances, it is most unlikely to happen.

So, it is better Chiranjeevi stop building castles in air, move to the Centre as a Rajya Sabha member and enjoy the Cabinet berth offered to him in the next three years. One does not know what his fate would be after the three years.

Otherwise, it is better Chiranjeevi keep his options open on acting in films. That would still get him name, fame and money!

'Sirimalle Chettu,' not a Flowering Tree

‘seethamma vaakitlo sirimalle chettu,’ the most enthusiastic venture anticipated to give the beautiful flowers of multi starrer films to Tollywood is almost known to have been shelved by producer ‘Dil’ Raju. Although this movie was planned earlier with Pawan Kalyan and Venkatesh in direction of Srikanth Addala, finally the name of Mahesh Babu replaced Pawan Kalyan. From last two to three weeks, the talk was much more intense and one has thought of movie’s launching date to fall some where in next two months. Unluckily the clash of Mahesh Babu’s dates with ‘Businessman’ of Puri Jagannath and uncompleted ‘Dookudu’ has put the idea of taking ‘Sirimalle Chettu’ a step backward. Inner sources say that it was alone Venkatesh showing desperateness to work for the film while none others are the same. So, ultimately this ‘Sirimalle Chettu’ may die without offering its flowers.

Nani runs away with C-Heat

Manly young hero Nani’s latest flick ‘sega’ ran away from June releases. Although this bi-lingual was slated to hit the screens on June 24, it has got indefinite postponement. How ever now a new date of July 15 is making rounds in market for ‘sega’ directed by Anjana Ali Khan which has music from Joshua Sridhar.  Initially this delayed release is reasoned due to unavailability of theatres in Tamil Nadu with a stream of big releases standing in queue. As ‘Veppam’ (Tamil ‘sega’) can’t withstand the Competitive Heat from ‘180’, ‘Udhayan’ and following films in July, as well as Telugu ‘Virodhi’ on July 1, holding off the film is the only option available. Let us see, how far the ‘Ala Modalaindi’ pair will spread their magic.

'Ye Maya Chesave' sequel to start soon

‘ye maya chesave’ is the fate turner for lead cast Naga Chaitanya and Samanta. Director Gautham Menon spilled the beans of love all over with this cute love story that even had a success run in Tamil with the title ‘Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya.’ Now, the same team is ready to go for one more magical spell on all lovers and dreamers. Tamil reports say that Gautham wants to present a sequel which is already titled as ‘Vinnaithaandi Varuvein’ while Telugu version is yet to be named. The roles of Karthik and Jessie are very close to our hearts and this is second time they are to spread those blissful moments. Movie is expected to go on sets next year and will be released the same year. Gautham is known to have completed the script work for the sequel while AR Rehman will be the man to give the main music score. Let us wait and see, will this be the same emotional roller coaster ride just like ‘YMC’?

Kajal's 'Guru Dakshina' for Rajamouli

kajal agarwal will remember SS Rajamouli through out her life. The kind of break he offered the beautiful girl with ‘Magadheera’ is immeasurable. As she has grown leaps and bounds in career from then on, now it is time to give something in return for her mentor. If sources with in film industry are to rely upon, kajal agarwal has agreed to do an item song in Rajamouli’s prestigious venture ‘Eega’ that is still in production stages. While Nani and Samanta are lead roles in the flick, we all know that Sudeep is playing the main villain. With too much of visual effects becoming the major attraction in the film, this becomes much more interesting to see Kajal making a special appearance in the form of item number. One does not know whether Rajamouli proposed her the offer or she herself came down to give some ‘Guru Dakshina’? Well, we have to wait for a confirmation from either of the sources.

Actress raped before being murdered

Ashwini, a small-time south actress, was raped before being murdered in her house near the Saidapet railway station on Friday. The prime suspect Suresh(Ashwini husband Sivanandam's cousin) disappeared after the incident. Ashwini (25) of Mumbai was found dead in her house in Saidapet. Her husband Sivanandam has immediately informed the police. The doctors who inspected the body are said to have confirmed to the investigation officers that she was raped before being done to death. "We are expecting the postmortem report and the forensic report based on the samples collected from the murder scene. As Suresh was last seen by some neighbours near Ashwini's house, we suspected him," a senior police officer said. One of Ashwini's neighbours told the police about seeing Suresh on his bike at 12.30 pm on Friday. After the incident, Suresh's mobile was switched off and he disappeared, increasing the police's suspicion. A special team is now in Suresh's native village of Ponnur near Vandavasi. After Ashwini and Sivanandam moved into the rented house in Saidapet two-and-a-half-years ago, Suresh was introduced to Ashwini as Sivanandam's cousin. He frequently visited their house, even during Sivanandam's absence. The police said it was possible that Ashwini developed a new friendship that irked Suresh. These differences may have led to her death, a police officer said. According to the police, Ashwini and Sivanandam fell in love five years ago when he was posted in Mumbai for a couple of months. They got married and moved to Chennai. Sivanandam did not want his wife to act in films and the couple often quarrelled before the matter was sorted out by their family members. The police were on their way to crack down this murder mystery.

"I panicked and pulled out" says Sexy Heroine

Sexy siren Dia Mirza, who recently turned producer, says being independent at the age of 17 helped her in money management. "I suppose being independent at 17 made me money wise more than anything else. I have never depended on my family," says Dia Mirza. The actress says her best investment so far has been buying an apartment at the age of 20. "Buying an apartment at Pali Hill in Bandra. I was 20 at the time. Today the prices have shot up and when I look back I think it was the wisest thing I did," she said. However, she blames herself for making a worst investment decision. "I had invested in mutual funds and when the market dropped, I panicked and pulled out. I should have let it stay I wouldn't have lost as much," said the actress. That worst investment decision she had made in the past didn't stop Dia Mirza from sharing a few investment tips, as she is more confident now.

If the stock markets are down don't panic. Hold on to your stock," Dia said.

Two Sexy Heroines in neck deep 'mud'

Arrogance and carelessness will always find their way back to repay oneself for what they have done previously. Here are two such sexy heroines sinked in deep 'mud' of allegations due to their 'extraas'. The whole of Tollywood is going garam-garam over two of its sexiest best. Kajal Agarwal and Nithya Menon are those bait. The reason behind this is said to be their arrogant behavior in interviews and their rash answers that hurts TFI. While Kajal stated that she always feels Mumbai home, which means that Tollywood, the place that gave her life is nothing, many of her fans are upset. On the other hand Nithya too disappointed her admirers with answers like 'Who is Prabhas?' etc,. Though they looked silly in the begining, they are slowly becoming a hurricane against these two girls. Producers and Star heroes of Telugu have realized the sarcasm in the statements of sexy babes slowly and are planning to take a stringent action, say sources.

"Intimate scenes are the most difficult"

Intimate scenes have become a part of Bollywood films. The filmmakers often include a good dose of it to make the cash registers ringing. However, director Mohit Suri says shooting bedroom scenes is never gonna be easy and can be a nightmare at times. Mohit is the director of upcoming thriller 'Murder 2'(a sequel to the 2004 hit film 'Murder'). He has shot a few intimate scenes with the lead pair Emraan Hashmi and Jacqueline Fernandez. "Intimate scenes are the most difficult to shoot because there the director cannot show the actors what to do. You have to let the actors be and let them do their own thing. It's difficult even for the cameraman, because you don’t know in which direction they will go," the 30-year-old director said. In order to make both Emraan and Jacqueline comfortable during the shots, the director kept the intimate scenes for the last schedule. "You can't ask two people on the first day to do intimate scenes. It's difficult," he says. Mohit Suri reveals that the sequel will have a heavy dose of lovemaking scenes because that is the requirement of the story. "If you are showing an illegal relationship in a film, it's unfair to show it with two flowers. Sex in films is always used to entertain, it excites you. If anyone says that they are using it artistically, they are lying. There is no such thing. We are in a business of exciting people. It's not for artistic reality," said the director.

Director's 'F' To Torture Pregnant Aish

Director Madhur Bhandarkar has dreamt very big and was on cloud nine till a few weeks ago. But he quaked with fear and all his dreams were shattered listening to the Aish’s pregnancy news. He was happy earlier because Aish agreed to act in the most ravishing role in his new film. He also shot the film for 10 days burning up to 4 Cr at a Red Light Area set in Mumbai.

Since Aish needs to act in smoking scenes and waterfall scenes along with two hard core item songs, he Fears to continue with her. His Fear to torture pregnant Aish puts him down.

Hence he decided to shelve the project. He cannot complete the film in brisk pace as he is quality conscious. And he cannot postpone the film as well as he is not sure which shape would Aish acquire after delivery. Even though he compromises and completes Aish’s part in brisk pace, it is sure that she cannot help him in promotion by the time film releases.

Hence he is down and shelving the project, say sources.
