Dhada: Naga Chaitanya's Action/Romance flick

It is very rare for a leading man or woman to get a break in big budget Indian cinema without a long lineage in the business, and Dhada star Naga Chaitanya is no exception. Both of Naga's grandfathers have deep roots in Telugu cinema, as does his father and his uncle, but Naga seems to be doing alright anyway.

Naga's debut with Josh won him a Filmfare award for best debut, and the roles that followed in last year's Ye Maaya Chesave and 100% Love that also did very well at the box office.

Dhada, Naga's next is listed as an action/romance, but the cast list with Brahmanandam, Venu Madhav and Ali only proves of plenty of inappropriate comedy thrown in with the drama.

Also on the cast list is Sriram (aka Srikanth) and the pan-Indian starlet, Kajal Agarwal, who recently made her Bollywood debut with Ajay Devgn's Singham having made quite a name for herself in the south Indian film industries.

Nagarjuna to give Annapurna Studios to Anushka?

For a while now presshounds have been writing stories by the dozen claiming that Anushka and Naga Chaitanya, son of Nagarjuna are in love and will be getting married soon.

The actress did get incensed with these reports and lashed out at the media berating them for their irresponsible reporting.

Despite her denial, the rumors continue to plague her. Recently, the grapevine has been buzzing with the news that she might be given a partnership in the spanking new Annapurana studios which belongs to Nagarjuna's family. It has been said that the studio has the latest facilities and may even rival the famous Ramoji Rao Filmcity. Ever since this tidbit came out, speculation about Anushka and Naga Chaitanya has become even more frantic.

Anushka finally talks about her Engagement..

Though Anushka decided to keep mum about reports that she got engaged to Naga Chaitanya, son of Nagarajuna, initially, she broke her silence after the situation got worse with the rumors spreading like wildfire.

The actress questioned that how the media can publish such reports without clarifying with her. She maintained that there was no such engagement, as stated by the media. Anushka added that Naga Chaitanya is much younger to her and she is in no way connected to him.

The lady also said that she is in love with someone else but would not reveal about him now.

Anushka's Engagement?

The entire South Indian film industry is shocked over the buzz flashing all over the place that Anushka Shetty is engaged to Nagarjuna’s son Naga Chaitanya.

Reports reveal that the engagement ceremony was a private affair that was attended by family members and close relatives from both sides.

As soon as the news spread like forest fire, fans became irresistible and started peeking more into the issue.

However, closer sources to both ends have denied it as rumors. It is worth mentioning that Anushka shares a close relationship with Nagarjuna and his family as she made her debut in Tollywood through his movie ‘Super’.

Youth Appeal

Geetha Arts' 100% Love has been passed by censors with U certificate and the film is slated for May 6th release. "The music, scored by Devi Sri Prasad, is already on the chartbusters. We've wrapped up the film on schedule, thanks to the efforts of the entire unit. The film's sturdiest strength is in the pairing of Naga Chaitanya and Tamanna," informs presenter Allu Aravind.

Bunnyvas, who is making his debut as a producer with this film, is confident of the film's success. He says, "100% Love is an entertaining love story. It will appeal mainly to the youth. We have been receiving overwhelming response to the music. The film was completed within the budget and it will surely be a hit."

Tamannah back in Tollywood

Tamannah Bhatia hasn't signed any Telugu films after Koncham Ishtam Koncham Kashtam. Now after a brief hiatus, she is all geared to bounce back with not one but three projects - 100% Love, Badrinath and Oosaravelli. "All the characters are beautifully thought out and different from each other," quips the Sindhi beauty. 100% Love will release first [sometime in the first week of May], followed by Badrinath and Oosaravelli.

When asked about her role in 100% Love, Tamanna says, "I have always wanted to play a character like this. The name of my character is Mahalakshmi and Chaitu's character's name is Balu. We keep fighting with each other. How love blossoms between us and how we go about our new-found love forms the crux of the story. I liked the way Sukumar etched the characters. It's a film that I am proud to be a part of. It'll be one of my first films which I'll watch many times."
