Salute will be ready by May

It's an unusual love story between a police officer and a journalist. The reporter is played by Nayanatara and the officer is played by Vishal.

Right now, the shooting is on in and around Hyderabad. The film is a bi-lingual and will be called Satya in Tamil. A Rajasekhar is directing it, while Vikram Krishna is producing it.

The music for the film has been composed by Harris Jayaraj. The Telugu version has Ali, Brahmanandam among others in the cast. One of the main highlights would be the graphics that are being used says producer Vikram Krishna.

Kajal is the girl for Ram Charan

Kajal Agarwal is considered to be the most promising Mumbai import. She has already worked with Teja and Krishnavamsi.

Now, she has got the role opposite Ram Charan in SS Rajamouli's film. We had already said that Charan was doing Rajamouli's film, given that the later was highly impressed after watching him in Chiruta.

The shooting, it is being said will begin on Febraury 26 in Rajasthan.

Kajal surely is one lucky babe!

Charmme is not out of bounds

Usually, big heroes or heroines tend to be out of reach once they reach a certain position in their career. But some actors make it a point to mix and match their films, so they can have the best of both worlds.

One such girl is Charmme. After having done her share of usual commercial films, she is now taking chances and trying out various characters.

So she gets to do films with people like Bapu and Chandrasekhar Yeleti, while not missing out on out-and-out commercial films like 'Chintakayala Ravi' with Venkatesh, which is currently in the making.

'Mee Sreyobhilashi' to be screened for Amitabh

The makers of 'Mee Sreyobhilashi' are now planning to show their film to Amitabh Bachchan and hope to get him to play the lead role in the Hindi version.

Given the success and critical acclaim for their film, they are enthusiastic to make the film in almost all Indian languages.

It seems, Nazir had already approached them for Tamil film rights. Now, if Amitabh likes the film, they hope it will get recognition at the national level.

It goes without saying that director Eeswar Reddy is really thrilled with the turn of events and the unending praise the film has been getting.

Kalyan Ram shoots in Film Nagar

Kalyan Ram is doing his forthcoming film under his home production NTR Arts. Harsha Vardhan, also known as Swarna Subbarao is directing the film.

Now, some fight scenes are being shot in a building in Film Nagar. Fight choreographers Ram Laxman supervised the shots involving Kalyan Ram.

Priyamani is playing the lead opposite him. The title is yet to be confirmed.

Teja gets PC Sriram, Ilayaraja for 'Keka'

Teja is mighty thrilled that he has roped in ace cinematographer PC Sriram to handle the camera for his film Keka. The film's shooting will begin on February 22 here and Thota Tharani is the art director.

It is a love story with newcomers and looks like Teja is going to make it really beautiful, given the line-up of technicians he has.

Ilayaraja will be composing the music for the film.

Now, that's what we call a prestigious line-up.

Aditya Om back in action

Remember Aditya Om, who played the role that Suneil Shetty played in the original 'Hera Pheri'? 'Vasanta Raagam' is the name of the movie and he has Manya and Madhu Sarma playing the female lead.
