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.

Let us see what happens.

KV Anand - Suriya Sivakumar's forthcoming 'Maatraan' is much expected due to reasons many. Nearly 70% of the shooting has been wrapped and as earlier reported some high voltage action scenes were canned in Chennai at a huge set erected in OMR.

Prabhu Deva - Nayantara call it quits?
With Nayantara signing a Telugu biggie opposite Nag and looking out for offers in Kollywood, it is said that Prabhu Deva and Nayantara who were all set to enter wedlock this year have called it quits and parted ways!
Although such rumours have occurred several times in the past it was always followed by either of them rubbishing them. But Nayan accepting offers is only making these rumours seem true.
The duo have been seeing each other from 'Villu' which was followed by Nayan tattooing his name and making public appearances together. Late 2010, Prabhu Deva had expressed he'll marry Nayan and thus after Prabhu's divorce with Ramalath, the media has been following Prabhu and Nayantara and a wedding was anticipated this year.

It is now said that the duo weren't in good terms from a few months and have decided to part ways!

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. But there is no talk of us working together again. Even recently, he invited me to the birthday function of his son and I attended it. That's it."
Nayantara to act in a Tamil film?
With Nayantara signing a Telugu film a few days back, a guessing game is on whether the actress would be a part of a Tamil film too. While some say she is keen at a comeback, others claim there is no such idea, at least for now.
"It is true that Nayantara decided to bid adieu to acting after Sri Rama Rajyam. But she found a story narrated by director Dasaradh interesting and hence agreed to be part of it. Also, Dasaradh shares a good rapport with Prabhu Deva," sources say.
They add: "Dasaradh was the one who wielded the megaphone for Santhosham, a Nagarjuna-Prabhu Deva starrer. So Nayantara decided to stand in front of the camera again for this new film, which has Nagarjuna in the lead again."
As soon as the news was out that Nayantara signed a new Telugu project, a section of the media reported that there was a rift between the actress and her beau. But sources close to her denied it and said the 'relationship' is strong and steady.

Right from his first film ('Siva Manasula Sakthi'), Rajesh has travelled with Santhanam. "I can make a film even without a heroine, but not without Santhanam," says the 'Boss Engira Baskaran' director in a lighter vein.
Rajini attends Rahman's show
Superstar Rajinikanth, accompanied by younger daughter Soundarya Ashwin, hogged all attention at 'Classic Incantations', a musical concert performed in Chennai on Thursday night by a German orchestra, in association with A R Rahman. As soon as the 'Thalaivar' made an entry, the audiences were unable to control their excitement. Whistles and claps filled the air and it took some time for the crowd to settle and enjoy the mellifluous music on that euphonical evening. The German Orchestra gave a new touch to Rahman's songs and it was a delight for music lovers to listen to the performance. Songs from 'Enthiran', 'Bombay', 'Padayappa', 'Roja' and 'Lagaan' were performed. The program was to celebrate 60 years of diplomatic relations between India and Germany.

Nanban is the remake of the Hindi film Three Idiots. I have seen the film Three Idiots many times to act in Nanban. But I did not imitate Kareena Kapoor who had acted in that film.
I was very careful that I should not imitate her style. I acted in my style. People who saw the film did not compare me with Kareena Kapoor. They appreciated me for acting in my style. After the Tamil film Kedi I did not act in Tamil films for the last five years.
I was waiting for a good story. I was very happy when I was called to act in this film which had Shankar-Vijay combination. I can never forget the experience working with Shankar. He is very talented. Anushka appreciated my acting. I am also very happy when other actresses also appreciated me for my acting. This film had comedy, romance and education.

Dhanush is pairing with Shruthi in the film 3 directed by Aishwarya Dhanush. There was news that Dhanush and Shruthi have become very intimate and that both of them celebrated the New Year together.

Of all the actors who have acted with me, Dhanush was the most convenient actor. Because of this I am little friendlier with him. Aishwarya is my close friend.
There is no necessity for me to have connection with a married person. My connection with Dhanush is purely professional. There is no other connection than this."
No explanation has been given from Dhanush’s side.

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.
The star cast consisting of Prithviraj, Indrajith, Asif Ali, Kalabhavan Mani and Rahman added fuel to those thoughts.
Hangover is an extremely hilarious Hollywood blockbuster in which the escapades of a gang of friends just before their friend’s wedding have been shown.
The film became so popular that a sequel has been released to the 2009 comedy, last year.
Amal has been ducking the question all along and that has added to the curiosity.
All he would say now is that “I am leaving it to all who are interested to do the guessing game for now and the mystery will be unveiled on screen.” The plot thickens, or what?
Kamal plans his next film
On the verge of completing 'Viswaroopam', Kamal Haasan is planning his next venture. To be simultaneously made in Tamil and Hindi, the movie will be directed by Kamal himself, who will play the lead role too.
The Hindi version has been titled 'Amar Hain' and it will take on corruption, one of the important issues that's hindering the progress of the country. Interestingly, Kamal has written this script a couple of years ago itself.
"But I had to wait for the right time. I needed great inputs, in terms of content and finance. Now that I believe I am ready on both counts, I am going to start Amar Hein, after completing Viswaroopam," says Kamal.
Meanwhile, sources close to 'Viswaroopam' unit say the Ulaganayagan might release the movie come summer. Being made in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi, the multi-crore extravaganza is touted to be an action adventure.

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:

Saying that dubbing for her own character gives her inner satisfaction, Trisha adds, "It really worked in Mankatha. And I believe that I can pull it off in Samaran too." 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. I believed that I could give my best to the role, which was already played by other actresses in three languages earlier. And I am now thrilled with the response", she signs off.
