all actress,

Tamanna is currently the hottest heroine in Kollywood and Tollywood, where she is doing six films. She has the right mix of glamour and the girl-next-door image, which is her trump card.

In Balaji Sakthivel’s critically acclaimed Kaloori, she proved that she is an actress of substance and more important won over the lady audiences. At the same time she did a cute and glamorous ad for ’Sun Direct’ DTH, which made her hot with the youth.

Now she has three films coming up for release- Ayyan with Surya, Padikkathavan with Dhanush and Anandathandavam with new boy Siddharth. Tamanna says all the three roles are totally different. At the moment Tamanna is so busy that she has no dates to spare till the end of the year as she is full up with her Tamil and Telugu commitments.

Paruthi Veeran fame and Surya’s brother Karthi will soon join in the team of Lingusamy for his new film after Ayirathil Oruvan. Actress Nayantara is going to act with Karthi for the first time in this film. Produced by Lingusamy under his own banner Thirupathi Movies, this yet to be titled movie will hit the floors in the next month after Karthi completes his ongoing project Ayirathil Oruvan.

Lingusamy says, "It is a full length action with mild love story like Sandakozhi and you will watch a different Karthi and Nayantara. Originally, I planned this script for some other hero, but now Karthi is suitable for this role very aptly. BothNayantara and Karthi are busy with their ongoing projects and I hope that they would come to my project in July."As of now, there are two projects already in the pipeline for Thirupathi Movies and this Lingusamy directed movie is the third one.

 

Actress Kavya Madhavan, the leading heroine in Malayalam, is one of the controversy-free actresses in recent times. There was not even a single controversy or scandal about her, even though there were some short-lived rumours that she was romantically involved with a Malayalam hero.

Now, some ugly gossip about the actress began circulating when a self-proclaimed ’swamiji’ was arrested in Kerala. It was said that a number of leading heroines used to visit him for some special half-nude poojas that he performed. In the said list,Kavya Madhavan’s name is also found.Some mischief-makers have gone one step ahead and are said to have put some movie clips on the Internet said to be featuring the actress in hot positions from the alleged pooja.

The Kerala based actress Priyamani told that Malayalam films are far superior to movies of any other language in the South. Recently, she won the National Award for her performance in Ameer’s Paruthi Veeran, a Tamil movie.

Now she said, "Though I got best actress award in Tamil, I always consider Malayalam Film Industry is the best in the south. Don’t understand me wrongly. None in Malayalam Industry is compelling artists to act in the scenes. They allow us to perform naturally. But in other languages, directors always teach the artists to act. That is why talented artists are very rare in Tamil and Telugu. In Paruthi Veeran, I didn’t perform on my own. I simply reflected what Ameer taught."

Introduced by Bharathi Raja in Kangalal Kaithu Sei, the actress has to wait for 3 long years to get her first break in Ameer’s Paruthi Veeran. Ameer shows the actress in different angle and after the release of Paruthi Veeran, Priyamani became one of the top class actresses in overnight. Now she is getting nearly 45 lakhs per film in Tamil
