Ananya's marriage plans gone for a throw

It was not a Happy Valentine's Day for actress Ananya, who got engaged to a businessman Anjaneyan recently. Her dreams to enjoy the marriage bliss was shattered after she discovered that her husband-to-be was already married to a Kozhikode-based girl and he tried to cheat the Naadodigal actress. The buzz is that Ananya has filed a complaint against Anjaneyan claiming that he has not revealed anything about his previous marriage thereby trying to cheat the actress. The Perumbavoor Police, who is investigating the case, has found that Anjaneyan tied the knot with the Kozhikode girl in 2008 but they have now mutually approached the court for divorce, which is yet to be settled. On February 3, Ananya, who was last seen in AR Murugadoss' Engeyum Eppodhum, got engaged to Anjaneyan at Perumbavoor near Ernakulam.

'Naan Ee' audio release in March

The buzz is that the audio of SS Rajamouli's bilingual 'Naan Ee' (Eega in Telugu) will be released in the last leg of March. Starring Nani, Samantha and Sudeep in the lead roles, the film is slated to be released in mid-April. The big summer release banks on three markets. Besides Telugu and Tamil, it will have a huge market in Karnataka; thanks to the presence of Sandalwood star Sudeep. This is the most important film Rajamouli has ever made, only next to 'Magadheera' maybe. That the director has chosen a very difficult subject and the genre of the film, bear testimony to the fact that 'Naan Ee' is definitely an avant-garde film to watch out for. The hero is killed at the outset, and he reincarnates as a fly to avenge his death. Sudeep has recently been quoted as saying that the film is an intense emotional thriller. It will be interesting to see if Rajamouli will dish out a Hollywood-kind of spectacle. If that were to be true, he will be considered Tollywood's own Shankar and will be yet another treat to watch out for in K-town.

Harris comes to Rahman's support

Harrish jeyaraj has viosed in support of AR rahman,over a controversy on the 'Hosanna....' song in Gautham Vasudev Menon's 'Ek Deewana Tha', the Hindi version of Tamil hit 'Vinnaithandi Varuvaya'. Recently, a Christian forum opposed the song and demanded apology from Rahman and others concerned, besides seeking to delete the number from the movie. It felt since 'Hosanna' being a holy word, it should not be used in a film song. When asked about the issue, Harris Jayaraj, in his interview to a Tamil weekly, said, "We use such words only to get the blessings of the God and for nothing else. Even I had used words like Hosanna and Alleluia in my songs." On a recent buzz that he would soon work with his good friend Gautham Vasudev Menon, Harris said, "He continues to be my friend.

Bachelor Party inspired from Hangover?

Now, this has been the million dollar question ever since cinematographer and director Amal Neerad announced his latest film, Bachelor Party.The first poster of the film came with a liquor bottle as the only picture and the rumour mills have been working overtime ever since.

Watch Miley Cyrus Cover Bob Dylan’s ‘You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go’

Miley Cyrus may be known for her hit songs like "The Climb" and "Party in the U.S.A.," but it's her latest song that truly shows you what a great singer she actually is. The songstress recently released her music video for a cover of Bob Dylan's classic song, "You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go" and it's actually pretty impressive. In the video, Cyrus is sitting on a stool in the middle of an abandoned house, simply belting out the well-known lyrics. It's plain, it's simple -- it's smart. When you're working with lyrics such as these you wouldn't want a bunch of aesthetics distracting you from the greatness of the song and it's nice Cyrus realizes that. Not everything has to be eye-catching to be memorable. Now I'll be the first to admit I'm not the world's biggest Miley fan, but she definitely has a great, natural voice and deserves props for putting this together. Look out guys, Cyrus is making a comeback in a big (non-Disney) type way. Check out the full video below and see for yourself:

Meanwhile, the actress is happy with the success of her last week Tollywood release, 'Bodyguard'. "Right from day one of the shoot we knew that the film would become a hit.
