Kajal Agarwal’s topless picture morphed

Actress Kajal Agarwal has a good reason to be fuming and fretting the way she is.

FHM, a Mumbai-based men’s magazine has morphed her picture as a topless girl to gain some “cheap publicity” by stooping to the lowest practices of yellow journalism.

Kajal who arrived in B-town with the smashing success of Singham, had done a photo shoot for the magazine, but her fabricated topless picture was published on the cover, thereby tarnishing her image.

Her sister and actress Nisha Agarwal says that the gimmick has done a lot of damage to the actor’s image, adding that Kajal would never dream of doing such a thing.

She says the family was upset since they were getting innumerous calls from friends, family and well-wishers from the industry, expressing shock over the issue. “We had to explain to them that it was a morphed picture and exposed the unprofessional conduct of the publishing house,” she adds.

The actress is infuriated and is planning to take action against the magazine and halt the issue of the magazine from hitting the stands.

Industry bigwigs thought that Kajal had turned bold in a desperate attempt to get B-town offers. However, it all turned out to be a scam not involving her at all.

Vishal and Sameera Reddy’s thirty kisses

Actor Vishal must be one of the luckiest guys in K’town. He got at least thirty kisses from dusky babe Sameera Reddy and in turn he kissed her only ten times less than that number.

Before you let your imagination run away with you, we are talking about a certain bathroom scene in a crucial segment of their upcoming flick Vedi directed by Prabhu Deva.

“It’s not a forced scene in the film. It’s very much there in the original Tollywood version, Souriyam,” explained the actor.

We hear that Sameera did 30 retakes for this sensuous scene! Vishal has a convincing reason for this.

“Oh yeah, basically the Mumbai heroines have language problems when they come to the Tamil film biz. There were a few humorous dialogues which were a part of the scene. Each time she was kissing me, she was forgetting the dialogues and when she did say the lines perfectly, the kiss went for a toss! In the process, she ended up kissing me on my cheeks thirty times,” he laughs.

Vishal adds, “The director went in for a variety of different-angled shots and finally he’ll keep only the best on the editing table.”

On opting for Prabhu Deva as director, Vishal said, “His track record with remakes is really good. He has a knack of projecting his heroes in a stylish way and his sense of humour is amazing. You can see touches of his original humour in Vedi.”

After Sandakozhi, Vishal says that he will be seen in an angry young man role.

“After shocking the audience with Avan Ivan, I deliberately chose this script, which is a wholesome family entertainer. The movie, which is scheduled for a September 29 release, will be a visual treat,” the actor assures confidently.

Trisha to debut in Kannada film

if sources are to be believed, Trisha will soon debut in Sandalwood with a film titled "CM", starring Shivarajkumar.

While the producer and director Raghu Ram insists that despite the title, the film has no political flavour, sources say that the story could revolve around the love story of a chief minister.

"The film could depict a common man's rise to the post of the chief minister. Buzz is that Trisha is likely to play the chief minister of a neighbouring state and the film will chronicle the budding relationship between both the heads of states," says a source. Apparently, Anushka was the initial choice for the role, but the actress had no dates to spare. That's when Trisha was approached. "Trisha's remuneration package is in the `80-`85 lakh bracket. The producer is trying to negotiate with her, but it does seem that her presence in the film is almost confirmed," adds the source.

The film, meanwhile, will be a bilingual, and will be shot simultaneously in both Tamil and Kannada. while Shivanna will essay the lead in the Kannada version, Action King Arjun is likely to be the protagonist in Tamil.

Mamta Mohandas to marry her childhood friend

Reigning Malayalam actress Mamta Mohandas is happily looking forward to getting married and settling down with a childhood friend.

The last few years have been tough for Mamta as she fought cancer. She is enjoying her new lease of life with great positivity.

She is also excited about returning to Tamil films with an exciting role in Thaidaiyarai Thaaka. She reveals, “I am dating an entrepreneur and it’s not a filmy kind romance where he proposed with roses. It was actually a bond that developed over the years. In fact, he is also very close to my father. I used to visit my family in Bahrain for holidays and he used to join me there.”

She adds, “Eventually, we realised that we are made for each other as we share a lot of common interests and resolved to take our relationship to the next level. With family approving the relationship, we are thinking of settling down next year.” she adds.

If she is busy shooting in Kerala, while he is working in Bahrain, one wonders how their courtship works. “We met a couple of times, but we are mostly in touch on the phone. He’s not a movie buff as such but he’s watched a couple of my movies,” she says.

Just two years ago, her life was totally different as a 22-year-old girl diagnosed with cancer. She went through turbulent times in getting her cancer treated, but emerged a winner.

“I had to cut off my hair. Some thought it was a style statement. It is tough to undergo such painful treatments like chemotherapy and radiation. But one must realise that without a struggle there is no victory. This is my life’s philosophy,” she says sounding much older than her years.

The disease has made her stronger and more positive. “I have lots of things to do and I don’t like wasting time on negative thoughts. I have conquered my ego and like to lead a simple life. A positive attitude makes both your mind and body healthy and, as a bonus, attracts good things around you,” she says.

Her Mollywood career is rocking with 16-odd films including hits like Anwar, Passenger and she has bagged awards for a riveting performance in Katha Thudarunnu.

“It’s a valiant story about a girl who moves ahead in life with just hope and nothing else. My upcoming films are Gnanam and Entha Family with Jayaram and a path-breaking film with Shyam Prasad,” she says.

It seems like the actress’ second innings will be much more happening than her first.

A temple for Hansika Motwani?

Madurai, the temple town of Tamil Nadu known for its rich culture and tradition, has a special affinity for film stars.

The passionate fans there go to any extent to express their adoration for their favourite actresses, including building temples for them and worshipping them as demigods. It was Kushbhoo and Namitha earlier, now their loyalties have shifted to glam doll Hansika, who is the most ‘happening’ star in K’town.

According to sources Hansika was approached recently by a group of fans from Maduari who expressed their desire to build a temple for the Velayudham girl.

Looks like the dainty girl is both thrilled and scared at the same time because she finds a temple built in honour of a living person a little difficult to come to terms with.

Hansika, who has just returned to her hometown from New York after completing her exams, told DC, “I do respect my fans’ love and affection towards me. It also makes me more responsible towards my work. But it is a little scary, equating human beings with ultimate power. Instead they can spend that money in charity and help the poor and needy.”

It may be recalled that Hansika helped an accident victim in Madurai recently when she was there for her upcoming film Oru Kal Oru Kannadi.

Kajal Agarwal, who is in demand after her Bollywood success with Singham, is busy travelling between Mumbai, Chennai and Hyderabad. She is doing two big projects in Telugu with Mahesh Babu and a Tamil film with Surya.

She says, “A lot of people appreciated my work in Singham and working with Ajay was a learning experience. I am presently working on Maatraan, a Tamil film with Surya and The Businessman, a Telugu film with Mahesh Babu.” adding that “life is very hectic.”

Clarifying rumours of dating Prabhas during Darling and breaking up before starting Singham, she says, “I never dated Prabhas. We share a great chemistry and rapport as we have done several films together. I have always been linked with my co-stars but I am glad there weren’t any rumours with Ajay Devgn.” About better prospects in Bollywood, she says, “I have never concentrated on a particular industry. Hindi films are different from the films I have worked in before. I received a lot of offers after Singham, but I prefer waiting for the right script. I have finalised two and will take a call soon.”

About southern actresses carrying bollywood dreams, Kajal clarifies, “I think it’s a mere coincidence that many actresses from here are getting to work in Bollywood, although, the Hindi film industry has always been interested in actresses from the South.”

Kajal has not yet made any friends in Mumbai. She says, “I didn’t really get time to make friends, in fact, I do not have a lot of friends in the film industry. I still hang out with my childhood friends.” With big banner films in her kitty, Kajal is quite ecstatic about her work. “I am happy with everything that has been happening. I believe in hard work and like to put my best in every film I do. The rest, I guess, depends on the audience. They decide whether they like it or not.”
