Shriya on cloud nine

Shriya Saran is all smiles these days. The trailer of her first Hollywood film The Other End of the Line is being appreciated. The film releases in the US on October 31.

Last week, at the Bombay Times party, she could not stop gushing about her role in the film. She plays the role of Priya, an employee at an Indian call-centre in Mumbai, who travels to San Francisco to be with the hunk Jesse Metcalfe whom she falls for over the phone! Shriya has a steamy kissing scene with Jesse which has been picturised very well. Shriya personally sent a clipping of the trailer to all her friends in which she looks absolutely smashing!

Meanwhile she is all excited about playing Kamal Haasan’s first wife in a flashback scene in Marmayogi, where she also liplocks with the actor. Overnight, she is singing hosannas about the actor, seeing his dedication and the meticulous way he narrated the script to her. Shriya has an interesting line-up of releases ahead — The Other End Of Line with Jesse, Sarath Kumar’s Jaggubhai, where she plays his daughter, Vikram’s super-hero action adventure Kanthasamy, Deepa Mehta’s What’s Cooking and above all Kamal Haasan’s Marmayog

Teja: "I'm Quitting From Telugu Industry"

Dynamic director Teja who made a comeback of sorts after two years with his movie 'Keka' was meant to bounce back to the industry with his talent of movie making but then he ended up pushing himself further into darkness as the movie has turned out to be a major bomb at the box office.

However, the director has come out into the open about this and in a live interview with callers, Teja was his usual self. Many of the callers told Teja upfront that the film was made badly and Teja quipped with a grin and said 'Thank you'. Later, when one of them asked about his next venture he said that there will be no more Telugu films from him.

Apparently, Teja wants to go to Bollywood for direction and he wants to prove his mettle there. Meanwhile, he said that his role as a producer will continue and revealed his master plan that he wants to create a new trend of films and genres so for this, he will rope in different directors and set the films and his thoughts through them. Once flurry of films arrive, it tends to create an influence on the viewers and then he would come with a message.

Here is the icing on the cake in the interview, when asked if he had any plans to take up a political career, Teja simply replied that politics is nowhere his cup of tea since he is incapable of that and yet again he smirked that for a person who is unable to take even a good film, where can he even think about politics.

Shekhar and his pupils

The guru is all set to make great strides in Bollywood with the same kind of success that came knocking at his door in Tollywood. His students or former associates Anish Kuruvilla and SaiKiran Adavi have left their teachers shade and have become independents.

Shekhar Kannula who was the mentor to the above mentioned two new directors will be trying to spread his golden touch into the Hindi speaking lands with the remake of the immensely successful flick 'Happy Days'.

The director who started off his career with the movie 'Dollar Dreams' followed up with films like 'Anand' and 'Godavari'. He will be presenting his debut Bollywood flick in association with Shekhar Kapoor.

Anish Kuruvilla is now creating his first film 'Avakai Biryani' and SaiKiran Adavi is also going to fly solo with 'Vinayakudu'. It is heard that both these films are having very unique story lines and the two cub directors are to reach great heights just like their guru Shekhar Kammula.

We sincerely hope that both of them will be able to do great justice to the title of Guruvunu Minchina Sishyulu, in the future.

Shekhar is already known as an established film maker with a great talent and his disciples are just starting out of their own. But it seems that the industry insiders are so sure of the cinematic knowledge imparted by Shekhar to his juniors that they have now itself decided Anish and Sai Kiran to become just like their master.
