PRIDE OF SUCCESS
The new brigade of Telugu actors read Varun Sandesh, Nikhil, Tanish, Nani, Swati, Shamili and Aksha are fast creating a distinct place for themselves. Coming quick with good projects is also good money. Varun Sandesh seems to be heading the game for the time being, along with Swati. We hear these young stars are taking home anything between Rs 30 to 45 lakhs per film. The whole bunch seems to be on a new high these days and, get this, also getting picky about their films. Early success can sure be one heady thing...
THESE DAYS, SHWETA PLAYS MUM
The Makadi girl who turned actress overnight following the super success of Kotha Bangaru Lokam is evidently riding high these days. While the upper echelons in the film business prefer to wear the `unreachable' tag, this one-filmold babe has decided to follow suit. Her mom who doubles up as her agent, receptionist and pretty much everything else, says that Shweta is too busy for the glossies these days. While the gal herself is perpetually unavailable for comment, it is mommy dearest who assumes charge whenever journos congregate. Pooah baby, guess the film producers should skip the daughter and give her mother that much awaited big break instead, eh?
Kamal turns click happy
Guess what's keeping Kamal Kamaraju busy these days? Not so much his acting but hours and hours of photography! Making the most of his free time, Kamal freaks out on his hobby, taking off on a drive and capturing just about anything that catches his fancy.
Turns out the guy is pretty darn good behind the camera, and has been receiving compliments galore from many directors in the industry, who feel that he could make a career out of photography instead of acting. Before the camera or behind, Kamal always manages to find his focus!
Vedika set to groove with her moves
Vedika of Baanam dances like a dream and that many feel (including herself) is a valuable asset to land good projects in Telugu. We hear the bubbly actor is confident that her fantastic dance moves can get her to the top of the business. Though we have moved on from the whole running-around-the-trees bit, we can't really tire of dance, can we?
Sandalwood Sanjana
Looks like actors who have tried a film or two in Telugu also make a beeline to try their luck in the Kannada film industry.
When we last saw Sanjana, she somehow failed to sustain the success of Bujjigadu, and now she's headed to the Kannada industry where she is raking in the moolah.
Juggling three projects in Kannada has been keeping her quite busy these days.
But let's hope she makes a comeback to Telugu soon. Yep, we're waiting!
Mahesh's musk, er, fragrance
We sniffed up a hint that Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu loves perfumes and has a peculiar lure for fragrances.
Big deal, you may say, but we promise there's a quirky twist to the tale. Mahesh, it seems sprays only one perfume at a time when he's shooting for a particular film and for every new film the fragrance is changed. As the story goes, the perfectionist actor handpicks a particular perfume before shooting for a film. Mahesh, then religiously wears the same fragrance throughout the filming process. Eventually, for him, the film becomes synonymous with the perfume brand. Presently, filming for his home production, Mahesh is very particular about the way he wears his perfume. What's more, the good people at the costumes department inform us that he usually applies the perfume and allows it to dry before slipping into his costume. Apparently, he is convinced that subtlety is the name of the game and that perfume should not be overused. Quite a dapper bloke, no?
