SEXY TEASERS

Businessman, is an upcoming film directed by Puri Jagannath with Prince Mahesh Babu and Kajal Aggarwal in the lead.

Businessman is one of the highly anticipated films to release early in 2012 after Mahesh's Dookudu that created collection records across the globe.

The music for Businessman is composed by Thaman who has been rocking down South with hits like Dookudu and Osthe still reigning the charts.

The title track will have Mahesh Babu and Puri Jagannath lending their voices and a promo video has been planned featuring them and Thaman as well to be shot in a studio in a casual setting rather reminiscent of Kolaveri di, which is currently the rage across the globe.

The comparison was inevitable and fans voiced the opinion that Mahesh Babu was copying Dhanush.

Thaman has begged the fans not to compare the two tracks as they are entirely different. He said they all think that Kolaveri di is awesome and they have no intention of trying to emulate its feat.

Anushka is praying that they will put more hours in a day as she simply cannot find dates these days.

Anushka Shetty is being flooded with the creme de la creme of offers and she has no idea how to accommodate them all.

The actor is being considered for the role of Rajni's heroine in Kochadaiyaan and she is very keen to grab the project.

Now we hear that she has also been offered Billa II with Ajith.

Anushka is going crazy as she is dying to work with both Rajni and Ajith and is doing everything humanly possible to somehow accommodate both the films.

Richa Gangopadhyay is feeling overwhelmed with the response to Mayakkam Enna and says that she has got a lot of positive feedback from fans and she could not have asked for a better launch in Tamil.

Richa was full of praise for Selvaraghavan and Dhanush for their work in the film and is eagerly awaiting her next release, Osthe opposite STR.

According to Richa, Osthe should also do wonders to her career as it is entirely in the commercial format.

"The two roles are diametrically different and I'm happy to have received my opportunity in proving my versatility this early in my career," said Richa expecting to prove herself as a versatile actor.

Although the title for the upcoming Vijay - A.R Murugadoss film is decided as Thupaakki, it seems the same title will see some trouble in Telugu.

Thupaakki is a bilingual and according to sources close to the director, the title Thupaakki is already registered with the Telugu Films Chamber by Jinka Harish Babu.

Also, it seems that Jinka Harish Babu is unwilling to part with the title 'Thupaakki' as his movie is already underway.

According to Harish Babu, his film focuses on terrorism and he wants the title 'Thupaakki' that somewhat describes the storyline.

While there are no immediate announcements from the Murugadoss stable about the title trouble, it's likely that Murugadoss will want to buy out Thupaakki from Harish.

Watch this space for an update on Vijay's Thupaakki with director A.R Murgadoss

Sonia Agarwal is upbeat about her role in 'Oru Nadigayin Vakoomoolam' that marks her comeback to the Tamil film industry. Produced by 'Punnagai Poo' Geetha of 'Arindhum Ariyamalum' and 'Pattiyal' fame, the film is about the travails of an actress to achieve a star status in Kollywood.

Eight leading directors have acted in 'Oru Nadigayin Vaakumoolam', Four of them appeared in a particular sequence, which required them to act like working with Sonia in film shoots. The other four filmmakers are Rajkapoor, Manobala, Velmurugan and Rajkrishna himself, who have played small yet significant roles, we learn.

"Since Sonia is playing a leading actress in this movie, one such scene became mandatory. Based on the request of director Rajkrishna, filmmakers Vikraman, Rasu Maduravan, A Venkatesh and Suraj stood in front of the camera and acted like they were shooting with Sonia," say the sources.

Talking about the movie, Sonia says, "The film is not inspired by my real life story or that of any other actress. It is just a collage of experiences of various actresses in the industry. It will throw light on the happenings in the movie industry, however in an interesting manner".

With major portion of the movie been completed, plans are on to release the movie early next month.

Vikram’s upcoming film Thandavam with director A.L Vijay is getting stronger every day and it just got stronger with Telugu star Jagapathy Babu joining the team that also has actors Anushka Shetty and Amy Jackson.

"Thandavam is an in and out commercial film completely and has nothing to do with the Malayalam film of the same name," clarified the director creating a sense of anticipation among Vikram’s fans.

The crew of Thandavam to be directed by Vijay has Nirav Shah as the cinematographer and Antony Gonsalvez as the editor with G.V Prakash Kumar composing the soundtrack and the background score for the film.

"The photo shoot for Thandavam will begin today with Vikram, Jagapathy Babu, Amy Jackson and the first look of Thandavam can be expected very soon," said UTV Motion Pictures’ Dhananjayan who revealed that the project will start rolling December onwards.

Maatraan, Suriya's next after the success of 7am Arivu has Kajal Aggarwal playing the lead opposite him with K.V Anand directing the actor for the 2nd time after their earlier blockbuster 'Ayan' in 2010.

K.V Anand, the director who has been tasting success since Ayan is now a household director creating rave expectation after his Jiiva starrer 'Ko' became one of the biggest hits in 2011.

The director is very cautious about his second venture with Suriya and is leaving no stones unturned to ensure that Maatraan does not skip its release schedule aiming an early 2012 release, in the month of April to be precise.

Shooting of this action thriller is currently being held in Chennai, after a brief schedule in Moscow, Russia making 'Maatraan' one of the very few Indian movies to be shot there. Made at a whopping budget by AGS Entertainment, Maatraan will have music composed by Harris Jayaraj with expectations soaring skyhigh for the release of the music album.

It has been confirmed, finally!

Vetri Maaran's next film has been generating considerable excitement in the industry circles ever since the film was titled Vada Chennai.

"Rana Daggubati, who debuted with 'Leader' and recently made waves in Bollywood with Dum Maaro Dum will appear in a special prominent role while STR stars as the hero of the film," disclosed Vetri Maaran.

"Vada Chennai, as the title indicates would have a story that revolves in and around North Chennai with Silambarasan playing the lead role and Telugu sensation Rana Daggubati sharing the screen space making his first foray into Tamil Cinema," said producer Dhayanidhi Alagiri of Cloud Nine Movies putting rumors to rest that 'Vada Chennai' is a historical film.

According to the producer, Vetri Maaran is taking some time to finalize the heroine, whose role is as significant of the male lead and is unwilling to reveal any further details about this film.

Word is that Rana Daggubati's role in Vada Chennai will be meaty one and that Andrea Jeremiah had been roped in to play a pivotal role. The other members of the cast are yet to be signed up and the producer has promised an official announcement of that once the crew signs them up.

Vada Chennai is going to roll in March, 2012.

At the audio launch of Oru Nadigaiyin Vaakumoolam, the film’s heroine Sonia Agarwal revealed that there were too many secrets in her life that she could not disclose publicly.

"Every actress’s life has secrets, joy and sorrow and I am not an exception," said Sonia Agarwal adding "The story of Oru Nadigaiyin Vaakumoolam is not similar to the Hindi films Heroine or The Dirty Picture," reiterating that her film although is about a star’s life bears no resemblance to her own life.

The buzz is that Anushka, currently, the most in demand heroine in Tamil films will be Rajinikanth's heroine for Kochadaiyaan.

Kochadaiyaan film is going to be made with cutting edge technology in a high tech studio with the Motion Capturing technique used by Steven Spielberg in the making of The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn (2011).

Anushka is currently very busy filming for Suraj's untitled film with Karthi, Thaandavam with Vikram and Selvaraghavan's Irandam Ulagam with Arya. However, the actress is very keen to be paired opposite Superstar Rajnikanth and is trying very hard to find the dates for this upcoming Tamil 3D animated film Kochadaiyaan (Tamil: கோச்சடையான்), a prequel to Rana written by K.S Ravikumar and directed by Soundarya Rajnikanth.

Abayam is a film that will mark the re-entry of actress Sherin Shringar best known for her debut opposite National Award winning actor Dhanush with Thulluvadho Ilamai.

The actress was then seen sharing screen space with Allari Naresh in Juniors, the Telugu remake of Thulluvadho Ilamai which didn't do any good to her career including Student No. 1, Whistle and Urchagam that added to her filmography.

Sherin was last seen performing in an item song, a special appearance in the Lingusamy directed Bheema that had Chiyaan Vikram and Trisha in the lead. The actress who was not seen in too many films after that, was away from any news that gave her the attention until now.

After several years, Sherin is back with Abhayam, a thriller that also has Naresh, Swathi, Sathya Prakash, Shafee and others in the lead.

Abhayam, the Tamil version of the 2005 Telugu thriller 'Danger' directed by Krishna Vamsi is a one of a kind thriller and has that spine chilling background score by Joshua Sridhar to thrill the audience.

Trisha has said in an interview that she is not keen on acting in Bollywood films because the taste of Bollywood audience is very different.

The actress is one of the top stars in the Tamil and the Telugu film industry but she has acted in just one Hindi film – Khatta Meetha – till now.

"Bollywood audiences are very different compared to Tamil audiences and their taste for movies also differ drastically," said Trisha adding that she does not have much ideas to star in Hindi films as she is content with her career graph in the south Indian industries.

Her last release Mankatha opposite Ajith Kumar in the lead was a remarkable hit and she is currently busy with the shooting of the Vishal starrer, Samaran.

Dhanush has said that he would offer bulk dates or even bulk years, if Selvaraghavan wanted him to act in Aayirathil Oruvan II.

The actor revealed that he was supposed to do Parthiban’s role in Aayirathil Oruvan but finally director Selvaraghavan decided against casting him.

"Initially Selvaraghavan wanted to cast me as a Prince in Aayirathil Oruvan but since the role went to Parthiban, the character turned out to be a King," revealed Dhanush adding that he began preparing very hard to get the right characterization when Selva told him about the role.

"In fact, when Selva told me that I am not in for the role, I felt very bad and could not sleep for a week", said Dhanush.

Hence, in case Selvaraghavan confirms Dhanush in Aayirathil Oruvan II, he would allot bulk dates or even years!

Looks like Bruna Abdullah, the Brazilian - Arab model who is working with Ajith for the second installment of the Billa franchise, Billa II can't stop gushing about how awesome it was to work with him.

Bruna recently tweeted saying:


Bruna was last seen in a miniscule role in Desi Boyz, which is fast losing its steam at the box office. Her shoots with Ajith for Billa II in Georgia in Eastern Europe are apparently over. After finishing her shooting, Bruna is back in Mumbai.

'White skin-u girl-u girl-u, Girl-u heart-u black-u ..!
Eyes-u eyes-u meet-u meet-u, My future dark!
Why this Kolaveri Kolaveri Kolaveri di?'

These are the lines of a soup song that is now being played or replayed on YouTube and updated on Facebook as status messages. This new song was officially released last week and is a part of the upcoming Tamil film 3, directed by Aishwarya Dhanush starring her spouse Dhanush and Shruti Haasan in the lead.

3 is the directorial debut of Superstar Rajnikanth's daughter Aishwarya Dhanush. His son-in-law Dhanush, apart from starring in the film as the lead also sung the Kolaveri song that has gone viral over the web with over 27.4 lakh hits on YouTube ever since its launch.

“Why this Kolaveri Di is as simple as it is silly. Perhaps that is what has made the song a phenomenon,” says Dhanush.

The wacky lyrics stemmed from an impromptu jam session a couple of months ago. Dhanush entered the music studio, heard the catchy tune and as the tune goes, took a mic and just started singing.

"The song details the story of youngsters who have been “ill-treated in love”. We have deliberately used the lines 'I am sing song... soup song.. etc.' ‘Soup’ is slang for an unfortunate situation. In fact, even now we do not have a lyrics sheet for the song, it was sung on the spot and we forgot to write it down! We knew that the song would be a hit but we never imagined it would scale this high,” said first-time music director Anirudh Ravichander, the 21yrs old passout from A.R Rahman’s KM Conservatory Music School.

“We had to take those breaks because we were laughing uncontrollably,” says Dhanush.

“The movie is being produced by Rajnikanth’s daughter, his son-in-law is singing the song and Kamal Hassan’s daughter is acting in it. How much bigger can it get?” wondered Anirudh, who was later revealed to be Aishwarya's cousin.

“Phones have been ringing non-stop. More than anything people are just laughing. The song has raised expectations for the album, scheduled to release in mid-December and there is a lot of pressure to ensure that the other songs of the film are as good,” adds the composer.

Latest entrant in Bigg Boss 5 and Indo-Canadian star, Sunny Leone, to make her Bollywood debut opposite the filmmaker's son, Rahul
After the success of Murder 2, the third film in the franchise was immediately announced with speculations of Bhatt favourite Emraan Hashmi leading the cast, yet again. However, looks like Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt have decided to add a twist in the tale this time around.

The Bhatts have decided to bring together ex-Bigg Boss housemate Rahul Bhatt and the latest entrant in the ongoing season of the reality television series, Sunny Leone together for the third film in the successful Vishesh Films franchise.

A source revealed to Mumbai Mirror, "Mahesh Bhatt wanted to launch his son Rahul opposite Sunny Leone in a film titled Blue Film. At the time, Leone had no intentions of making a Bollywood debut. She had turned down the offer back then. However, now, she has made it pretty clear that she is game for Hindi cinema. Mahesh is apparently reviving Blue Film at the moment."

According to the source, Mohit Suri would direct the film.

When contacted, Rahul Bhatt said, "Yes, my father was going to launch me with Sunny Leone in Blue Film. But it didn't materialise. About the project being revived now, I am not denying it. But you will have to ask my father. I am a big fan of Leone."

When contacted, Mahesh Bhatt admitted that he was indeed going to cast his son with the adult film actress. However, the project would no longer be Blue Film. "That's the cast for Murder 3," revealed the father and filmmaker.

Nargis Fakhri says she spent hours in the dubbing studio and hoped to hear her voice onscreen.

Nargis might have been linked to actor Ranbir Kapoor, her co-star in her debut Bollywood film, but when asked about the veracity of these reports, Nargis Fakhri maintains that she has no time for a relationship and brushes off queries about being romantically involved with the Kapoor scion. What's even more surprising is that the 31-year-old New Yorker had no idea who actor Ranbir and director Imtiaz Ali were before she signed up for the film that shot her to stardom.

"I had no idea about either of them. For me, doing the film was more like an art project. I just fell in love with the script the moment I heard it," said Nargis.

The former model admits that making the switch from the ramp to the big screen wasn't very easy either.

"It was very difficult initially; acting is a very intense job. It was difficult to adjust to the acting environment. Moreover, I had to get used to being in a new environment without my friends or family. But I enjoyed it," she says, adding, "I remember spending 10 hours in the office, from Monday to Sunday, dubbing for my own scenes. I did 5-10 scenes, but I don't know why they weren't taken. I was very upset that I didn't get to dub for myself."

While Nargis is aware of the appreciation that has come her way for her role, her greatest admirer so far has been Ranbir. "He has seen how hard I worked on this project, and it's great if your co-star gives you credit," she says.

And though the actor is just one film old, she has already bagged three endorsements and kickstarted a brand war of sorts. Quiz her about snapping up deals for which actors Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone were also under consideration, and she says, "I don't think I am taking over from anyone. I have been doing ads for some time and this is not new to me."

And if B-town buzz is to be believed, the newbie Nargis has been signed up to play the female villain in Rakesh Roshan's sequel to Krrish. "I am not doing this right now. At the moment I am just taking my time," she clarified.

Porn queen Sunny Leone was named `Miss Namkeen` by her Bigg Boss housemates amid assertion by a few that she will surely get offers from the Bollywood.

The Indo-Canadian babe is ruling the hearts of her fellow contestants with compliments like `damn cute`, `innocent`, `beautiful` being showered on her.

Akash Deep Sehgal aka Sky appears to be the most smitten. He asked Leone, "Is there anyone else in your family sweet as you? Are your friends decent like you? Are they from good families...young?."

Sunny Leone replied in the affirmative and suggested a US-based Punjabi girl as a prospect.

"She is a pharmacist, she is smart but she is very picky," said Leone.

Later during an informal chit chat at the poolside, Pooja Bedi said to Leone: "I have a feeling that you will get Bollywood offers... like Katrina, who also didn't know Hindi."

Leone timidly replied, "Thank you."

Another housemate added it all up as: "She (Sunny) has innocence, charm, beauty.. she has body!"

Later Sky told Sunny, "You have this quality...wherever you go, everybody would become like you." Interestingly, Sunny has not yet revealed to anyone that she is a `porn star`.

Meanwhile, Bigg Boss, as part of the weekly task, asked the housemates to finalise titles for the girls. After much deliberations, Amar as the captain, decided the final list: Miss Hasmukh - Pooja Mishra, Miss Mirchi - Shonali, Miss Chikni Chupdi - Mehek, Miss Nakhrewali - Juhi, Miss Meethi Chhuri - Pooja Bedi, Miss Patakha - Shraddha and Miss Namkeen – Sunny Leone.

Trust Aamir Khan to be humility personified.

Before flying off to London to shoot for Talaash, the actor drove down from Panchgani to Mahabaleshwar to meet Jackie Shroff.

A little birdie says, "Shroff was shooting for Ananth Mahadevan's Life Is Good. Considering Khan's star status, he could have easily summoned the senior actor to visit him. But he felt that since Jackie was shooting and is also his senior it would not be be right on his part to call the actor to where he was.

Instead he preferred to drop in on the sets personally. We assume Aamir Khan had dropped in to discuss the finer details of the project that launches Tiger Shroff." This development gives credence to talk that Aamir will in all likelihood launch Jackie Jr under his banner.

Bollywood is on a remake spree, especially from movies down South. The latest film that will be remade in Hindi is Sukumar's 'Arya 2'.

Ronnie Srewvala has bought the rights of the 2009 Telugu romance that was a follow-up to the actor's and the director's previous successful film, 'Arya'.

'Arya 2' had Allu Arjun, Kajal Aggarwal, Navdeep and Shraddha Das in the cast. This film was also been dubbed in Malayalam with the same title and had become a blockbuster.

"The film, 'Arya 2', has a lot of commercial elements. In fact, the music of the film was so successful that Salman Khan acquired rights of one of the cult songs, "Ringa ringa", and got it remade into the superhit "Dhinka chika" for 'Ready'. This original song by Priya Himesh was played at cricket stadium during the breaks of IPL matches and the 2011 cricket World Cup that was held in Bangalore," says an industry source, .

Though the director for the remake of the film is yet to be decided, there are talks about Sukumar himself making his Bollywood debut with the movie. Of course, the official remake of "Arya 2" can't again have the same "Ringa ringa" number but all attempts will be made so that the Hindi music is a huge hit too."

Looks like when it comes to exhibiting oomph wearing a red hot two piece, sultry Bipasha Basu didn't have any challengers in Bollywood and then came Fashionista Sonam Kapoor, who turned out to be one hell of a challenger.

The ultimate “bong bombshell” Bipasha feels great about her sexy image, but to slip into a bikini for ‘Players’ the actress had to compete with the lissome beauty Sonam Kapoor.

Interestingly, the makers of ‘Players’ floated a contest to rate the sex quotient between the two actresses.

In a recent media event, Bipasha let her cannons loose and animatedly talked about her sizzling bikini act to which Sonam had no option but succumb.

So, finally it has emerged that Sonam Kapoor will not be seen in the itsy-bitsy two-piece and it is Bipasha who would up the oomph quotient with her red bikini and fab toned body.

Sharing the saucy bit with media, Bips said, “We were made to have a race. Whoever won the race, would get to wear a bikini,” she said, “I won, simple!”

Meanwhile, Sonam had no qualms wearing a bikini but feels sorry that she doesn’t have a body to flaunt one.

Vidya Balan's dare bare act in her upcoming film 'The Dirty Picture' is the talk of the town. The actress confesses that in the beginning, it was not easy for her to play the ultra-sensuous role.

"There was a certain amount of mental preparation about being uninhibited and being unapologetic about being uninhibited...But I have enjoyed it," said Vidya during the promotion of her film, which depicts the rise and fall of a sex-siren in the 1980s and 1990s.

Vidya best Known for her poise and grace in Parineeta and Paa is eagerly waiting for the Milan Luthria directed film, which also stars Naseeruddin Shah, Tusshar Kapoor and Emran Hashmi.

"Everyone knows about Dirty Picture and are excited about the film. I feel very happy about this. I cannot wait for it to release. I just hope everyone reaches the theatre," said the sex bomb about the movie that is releasing in December.

Vidya starrer No One Killed Jessica, based on ramp model Jessica Lall's murder, started the year on a positive note as the film earned both commercial success and critical acclaim. She also made guest appearances in Thank You and Dum Maaro Dum.

Now, expectations are high from 'The Dirty Picture', and people are hoping when the film comes out next month, it sets the cash registers ringing and spells good business for the industry.

Kamal Haasan’s Viswaroopam is fast progressing and the shooting that was going on in Chennai has been wrapped up.

The star, who is also directing this film, is now getting ready to fly down to Jordan to shoot some songs and important scenes.

The team comprising about 50 members are expected to return during the first week of December. Kamal Haasan has said that Pooja Kumar is the leading lady in Viswaroopam.

To a question on whether the film is inspired from the movie Hannibal, Kamal said that it is just a baseless rumor. He added that story of Viswaroopam is based entirely on his imagination.

Mambattiyan, a film that released in 1983 starred Thiagarajan and Saritha in the lead roles and went on to become a cult hit.
It may be mentioned here that actor Thiagarajan, who decided to remake his yesteryear hit with his son Prashanth playing the lead role - is the Producer/Director of Mambattiyan.

Thiagarajan has roped in Meera Jasmine to play the female lead opposite Prashant with Mumaith Khan, Vadivelu and Prakash Raj in pivotal roles.

The audio launch of Mambattiyan is being planned to be telecast live on Sun TV. The songs that have been set to tunes by Thaman has raised the expectations already because of the song 'Kaatuvazhi' that Silambarasan has rendered.

In the A.R Murugadoss film, Vijay is playing a Mumbai dada, reports some sources in Kollywood. Though this fact has not been confirmed either by A.R Murugadoss or Vijay, the news has started to make rounds.

The film has not been titled yet and A.R Murugadoss is expected to announce the title any time now. However, the speculations on Vijay’s role in this film have started to make rounds.

As per some reports in Kollywood, Vijay’s role in the movie will be similar to that of Kamal Haasan’s in Nayagan.

Yet another news that we hear on this project is that the film will begin in Tiruchendur and it will show Vijay’s transition as dada in Mumbai.

Prashanth’s marriage to Grihalakshmi was declared to be null and void by the family court in Chennai after it was proved that Grihalakshmi was already wedded to Venu Prasad but did not disclose this fact to Prashanth.

Grihalakshmi not only concealed this fact from Prashanth but also did not divorce Venu Prasad before marriage. On coming to know this, Prashanth immediately filed a petition seeking the court’s order to declare his marriage with Grihalakshmi as null and void.

The family court ordered that the marriage is not valid and Grihalakshmi filed an appeal against this. The hearing at the High Court came up yesterday during which the Judges held that the marriage between Prashanth and Grihalakshmi is null and void.

Refuting rumors that she is in love with Jai and the two are heading towards matrimony, Anjali has said in an open letter that it is just baseless rumors.

Anjali has said that she has undergone a lot of problems to establish herself as an actress and such rumors at this stage of her career may only hinder her progress.

According to Anjali, she wants to scale greater heights by bagging several awards and this is possible only if she is able to concentrate in her career. Therefore, there is no room for love and marriage right now, said the determined Anjali.

Anjali appealed to her fans and media persons not to believe or spread out such rumors.

Telugu film Panjaa’s audio launch took place a couple of days ago in Hyderabad.

The Power Star Pawan Kalyan starrer 'Panjaa' is directed by Vishnuvardhan. Interestingly, it was for this film that Vishnu moved out of Billa II, which he was initially supposed to direct.

Speaking at this audio launch, Vishnuvardhan said that he has yet to decide on his next project and maintained that he is unsure if it is going to be a Tamil or Telugu film.

It may be noted here that there are strong rumors that Vishnuvardhan and Ajith may come together after the star wraps up Billa 2.

Aishwarya Rai will return home with her newborn soon, informed her father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan. The star said that they have not fixed a name for the baby yet and are affectionately calling her Beti B for now.

The proud grandfather added that it is interesting to watch the baby in her crib but she is sleeping most of the time.

Aishwarya has shown immense courage during her pregnancy and had reportedly told the doctors that she would wait for a normal delivery rather than a C section. And as per her wishes it was a normal delivery.

Pooja Kumar is one name that is doing the rounds in the industry and buzz is that she is going to take over the Indian film industry over a storm.

Who is Pooja Kumar? Is she that hot?

Pooja Kumar, an American actress, producer, model and television hostess who was crowned Miss India USA has also been a veejay for Channel V, a newsreader on the show Namaste America. She has also starred in few feature films like Kaadhal Rojave, Night of Henna, Flavors, Hiding Divya, Park Sharks, Bollywood Beats, and Anything For You.

The actor is now cast as the leading lady opposite Universal Hero Kamal Haasan for his magnum opus Viswaroopam.

There was news reported earlier that actor Shriya Saran would be replacing Sonakshi Sinha, who was signed for this role initially. However, when things didn't turn out well as expected, it called for another talent to be zeroed in.

When Celebs Factory queried about this progress,

"Pooja Kumar is the leading lady in 'Viswaroopam'. She's a Punjabi girl of Indian origin. 'Vishwaroopam' is probably one of the biggest film being made in Tamil Nadu and It could be a big break for a talented actress as Pooja," said the Universal star.

When an unexpected enemy emerges threatening global safety and security, Nick Fury, Director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster.

If Bigg Boss 5 was not a controversial magnet already, the reality TV show is about to garner far more eyeballs. The same show which got all the men's jaws dropping when Pamela Anderson entered the house will now reportedly open its doors to adult film star, Sunny Leone.

A source informed Celebs Factory that the actress will be welcomed into the Bigg Boss 5 house this weekend.

According to the source, there were rumours that Mike Tyson would be the international celebrity invited to the Indian version of Bigg Boss season 5. However, the Indo-Canadian adult film actress, Sunny Leone, whose real name is Karen Malhotra, has finally been selected.

The source explained, "There are two single men - Akshdeep Saigal and Siddarth and one married man - Amar Upadhyay, who are currently in the house. Sunny's entry into the house will definitely help to generate some drama and excitement for viewers."

The source informed us that Sunny was named one of the top 12 X-rated actresses in 2010 and that "She is one of the most talked about adult film actresses, who began her career with mainly homosexual roles before she started doing roles opposite men in 2008. Incidentally, there were also rumours that Mohit Suri had offered her a role in his film Kalyug. Apart from many adult films, Sunny has done quite a few mainstream films as well. Sunny will be arriving into the country tonight," added the source.

When contacted, the channel refused to comment.

The actress recently made a come back and was last seen shaking her leg and everything that could be, for an item song in Thamizh Padam, a 2010 Tamil-language spoof film written and directed by debutant C. S. Amudhan.

Kasthuri disappeared since then and is now back after a break to play a pivotal role in director Selva’s Naanga.

"A teenage boy falls in love with me and how I make the infatuated lover realize his mistake forms the crux of the story," said Kasthuri, denying rumours aroused of her role being sleazy.

Naanga has five stories in one film and one such story features Kasthuri and a newcomer Uday, says the director. Plans are on to release the movie this December.
