Nandi Awards 2007 Winners
Jaya Sudha refuses film offers
The talented Jaya Sudha has always been a performing actress. She is both good looking and talented and she has wowed two generations of the audience with her impressive performance in films.
Jaya Sudha is now in her second innings in Tollywood. Keeping her age in mind, she is now playing the role of mother in films. Jaya Sudha played the role of Ravi Teja’s mother in Amma Nanna O Tamila Ammayi.
She played the role of Siddhartha’s mother in Bommarillu and as Varun Sandesh’s mother in the recent hit Kotha Bangaru Lokam. She is very impressive in her roles and she is now being offered similar roles by many producers and directors.
However, Jaya Sudha is now not signing up for any new film. She wants to take a break from films for some time. One of the reasons is that she now wants to set aside some time for campaigning for the congress party. It is well known that she joined the congress party recently. (more...)
Anything For Success
Actors and actresses are prepared for anything to be successful. Some believe in Numerology some in Astrology and some others in Gemology.
Here are a few filmy instances. In the recent past actor Tarun changed his mobile number as suggested by numerological predictions; the changed mobile number was expected to bring a change of luck for the actor. Actress Bipasha Basu believes in Gemology, and has always been seen sporting a Kanaka pushyaragam on her right index finger. Almost all producers make it a point to shoot the first shot for a new movie in the subhamuhurtham.
The policy in the film industry seems to be ANYTHING FOR SUCCESS. Do all these occult things bring success? Is success not a factor of hard work and dedication? This is debatable. Many say, despite the hard work it is luck which brings in SUCCESS. (more...)
