SEXY TEASERS

Our favorite Colombian rockstar, Shakira has finally released her music video for “Addicted To You.”

Shakira is best known for her extravagant moves  and this time around its only getting better than her music videos from the past like “Whenever, Wherever,”  “La Tortura,” "Hips Don't Lie" "Shewolf" "Gypsy" and "Loca" etc..

As the dim lights set the mood, Shakira looks sexier than ever as she rhumbas around in her apartment dressed in a sheer polka dot button-up paired with leather hot pants. Oh, and did we mention the bathtub scene?

The Chennai girl was first seen in Gowtham Menon's 'Ye Maya Chesave', the Telugu version of Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa that also earned her a Nandi Award and a Filmfare Award along with millions of hearts. In Tamil, Samantha debuted with 'Moscowin Kavery' written and directed by cinematographer Ravi Varman. Since then it’s no looking back for the glossy girl.

Samantha is now one of the most sought after actresses in both Tamil and Telugu industry. She is currently shooting for Gowtham Menon's Neethane En Ponvasantham with Jiiva and its Telugu version with Nani. She is also shooting for Mani Ratnam’s much anticipated 'Kadal' with Gautham Karthik.

K.V Anand's Maatraan starring Suriya and Kajal Aggarwal has reached its last leg of shooting. 

The director of the film has been shooting for the film in the exotic locations of Russia, Croatia, Macedonia, Serbia and Albania. The director and his crew are now in Jodhpur for the last schedule.

 In his social networking page, K.V Anand blogged, “Shooting the last phase of Maatraan in Jodhpur with 500 junior artist & Suriya. It's very hot here (around 41 degrees).”

Maatraan, that is being produced by Kalpathi S Aghoram also stars Vivek, Isha Sharvani and Sachin Khedekar in supporting roles. With cinematographer Sounder Rajan handling the camera and Anthony, editing the shots,  the film would have music composed by Harris Jayaraj.

Yohan: Adhyayam Ondru is the next film that Gautham Menon is going to start his work on.

The film will be an espionage thriller, the first of its kind starring Vijay as the lead. He would be playing the title character 'Yohan', an Indian spy and the story would revolve around his adventurous missions across the globe.

But why Yohan? Why not something like Kandasamy or Velayudham that regional people can relate to?

"Yohan is one of the most used names in the world. I strongly believe that the film would have a wider reach with this title," said Gowtham Menon, the ace director of his theory for having chosen his unique title.

From what we understand, Gowtham is probably trying to take this film international.

The film is expected to go on floor from May.

Esha Gupta, the gorgeous model from Delhi is one lucky girl.

The model turned actor, who will be making her Bollywood debut with ‘Jannat 2’ opposite Emraan Hashmi is making waves even before the film has hit the theatres. She has not signed up for Vikram Bhatt’s ‘Raaz 3’ and Prakash Jha’s ‘Chakravyuh’ but has also found a fan in filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt.

Bhatt, who is also the producer of ‘Jannat 2’, is all praise for Esha.

Speaking to a daily, the veteran filmmaker said, "Esha`s ethos is very Indian. She looks like Angelina Jolie but she has the flavour of India still in her. She knows that sensuality is an essential attribute of the female animal. However the mystique needs to be retained as a survival tool. Esha celebrates her feminine body and yet her ambition is rooted in real India. She has taken a quantum leap from Jannat-2 to Raaz-3 and she has a high emotional quotient and the ability to respond when she is challenged. She came back the other day from an outdoor shoot and I asked her `how did your schedule go?` She replied, `They thought I look like Angelina Jolie but they also commented that I act like Smita Patil.` That reveals her. That is the way she wants the world to perceive her."

Considering that bold and sexy roles are the norm these days, would we see Esha doing a ‘Jism’ ever in her career?

“I can`t shake of the image of Bipasha walking out of the water in a white dress with a soaked chiselled body. But you`ll have to wait for a sexy me, till someone offers something sexy," said the actor without waiting a while.

Considering that many already compare you to the sexy Jolie, the sexy roles will be coming your way very soon, Esha!

Gautham Menon was utterly saddened by a report made a famous newspaper that said he blames his actors for his failure in bollywood.

In a letter to the editor of the newspaper, the Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya director said, “It's unfair for a reputed newspaper to put out an article based on hearsay and constructed out of another article that itself didn’t quite report the exact words I had used.” He also added, “All it takes is a phone call and you would have got my views on the same before putting out the article.”

The daily had quoted that the director pointed out Madhavan’s obesity and Prateik’s lack of lusture as the causes for his two Hindi films’ to fail. However, the director in his letter has washed off this article as “wrongly reported”. He also made it clear in his letter that as the daily is writing articles that has no base, he wouldn’t be willing to share any details or even talk to their reporters anymore.

Ajith's death defying stunts in Billa 2 are the talk of the town.What makes Ajith's achievement so amazing is that the actor has had 15 surgeries and the fact that he can walk by himself is itself a big deal! Ajith not only walks but he can dance with the best of them and insists on performing risky stunts himself. 

Ajith said that he is thankful to God for letting him do these things despite his painful surgeries.

However, Ajith admitted that while it is ok for people to have good or bad opinions about his films it is hurtful when they get personal and say that he is fat. 

The actor admits that he finds that a little disheartening since his metabolism has changed since the surgeries and he tries so hard not to let his body slow down post the operations.

We don't think he is fat, we think he is a real hero and absolutely awesome!
