Slammin hot body ?

Piaa Bajpai is a smart girl who knows that in this competitive world of films, one needs to be sharp to stay ahead of the competition.

Piaa has decided to add to her arsenal by developing the perfect body. The KO babe is not aiming for a size - zero figure but only wants to carry a toned body that is completely free of flab.

To achieve her aim she is on a strict protein and fibre diet and is also working out big time. It has been very hard for her, since she is a pure vegetarian and can't include protein - rich items like fish and chicken in her diet. But she is determined to stick to her diet and is asking all around her to suggest some veggie substitutes.

After the success of KO and some of her ads, she is getting a few offers from Bollywood. Perhaps a slammin hot body will complete the deal and get her a ticket on the Bollywood bandwagon.

Lead Actresses opposite STR for Vettai Mannan

Silambarasan's next is with Nelson and is called Vettai Mannan. Deeksha Seth will play one of the female leads in this film. Apparently there are two more heroine spots that need to be filled. STR had suggested Asin but Nelson wants someone who is just two or three films old. Bubbly Piaa Bajpai who impressed in Ko is hot stuff at present and is in strong contention for one of the heroine roles.

The other role may go to Amrita Rao, the elder sister of Preetika, who was seen in Chikku Bukku with Arya. But Amrita is extremely choosy when it come to giving the green signal for South Indian projects. She has done only one Telugu film with Mahesh Babu which was a huge hit. She was flooded with offers after that but she is yet to sign anything in these parts. If she is not finalized for the role, others from Bollywood will be considered.

Silambarasan plays a killer in this film, which is being shot in Chennai and Brazil. Jai also has a good role in this film.

Copy Cat

The name 'Harris Jeyaraj' has now become a euphimism for Music Director in Kollywood!

As on date he is the busiest music director in Kollywood. He has never done any remix songs or have done rework with another muscician's product.

He is the music director for the movie Nanban. Commenting about his work he said "I don't want to be labelled as a copy cat. Even though the movie Nanban is a remake, as a music director, I am not copying anything from its original 3 Idiots. "

Jeyaraj continued "Let it be a big or small budget movie. Let the movie be a replica of a super hit version in another language. By principle, I never copy others work and hence I never repeat a music from another movie. I never get influenced of the so called original version."
