Sania Mirza booked for trespass in mosque

Hyderabad, Dec 13 (IANS) The police Thursday registered a case against tennis star Sania Mirza and an advertising agency for shooting a commercial in the historic Mecca Masjid in Hyderabad without permission.

The Hussainialam police station registered a case of trespass against Sania and the advertising agency on a complaint by the minority welfare department.

Assistant commissioner of police, Charminar, B. Reddenna said the department had complained that Sania and the ad agency shot the commercial in the mosque without its permission.

The minority welfare department is responsible for the upkeep of the 17th century mosque located near Charminar, the symbol of Hyderabad.

The case was filed amid reports that some people were planning protests against the alleged desecration of the mosque after Friday prayers.

Hyderabad district minority welfare officer Kareemulla had Tuesday lodged a complaint with the police that the commercial was shot without permission. However, the police registered a case two days later.

The shooting evoked protest from the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM), a powerful political party in the Muslim-majority old city, and from a section of people, who alleged that Sania and the agency had hurt their religious sentiments.

The mosque officials pointed out that the shooting of films and commercials was not permitted in the mosque premises.

Meanwhile, the police have made tight security arrangements to prevent any untoward incident Friday as some people were reportedly planning protest against the shooting of commercial.

The mosque is a major tourist centre. Tight security is in place at the mosque since the May 18 bomb blast that killed nine people. Muslims constitute 40 percent of the city's seven million population.

Reel Buzz: Aamir Khan Plays Shankar's 'Robot'?

This is the new grapevine that is spreading in the industry. It is said that no sooner than Sharukh Khan turned off to go ahead with Shankar for the film 'Robot', Aamir Khan is turning on for the same. The projects left out by SRK are being taken away by Aamir Khan and they are proving to be hits. Now Aamir Khan is continuing the same old phenomenon again. The Interesting aspect is that Aamrir Khan is willing to produce this scientific thriller as well by investing about a Rs 100 cr. Another factor to be underlined is that Ameer Khan is going to play dual role in this film as scientist and Robot. The plot goes this way- A scientist invents a Robot to take care of his child. But when he knows that the Robot kills a few people, he puts an end to it.

Earlier when Shankar narrated this theme to SRK, Hrithik is supposed to play Robot and SRK, the scientist. Now both are to be played by Aamir Khan.

Now one knows how far truth holds in this gossip. It is also said that Ajith is showing interest in working with Shankar for Robot. Let us wait until the news comes officially.

Srija-Sirish Inspired 10-12 Youngsters

Srija and Sirish turned popular with their secret marriage. As Srija is the daughter of Mega Star she was made more popular by media.

But just after a week of their secret marriage, producer Sakhamuri Panduranga Rao's daughter ran away with her driver to marry. Sources say that about 10 other pairs ran away within a month's time to get married. That's the impact of Srija-Sirish on the youth. But only the celebrity stories see light in big way.

A TV channel is planning to conceptualize a 30-minute program on the topic of 'eloping youngsters and the influences of cinema and celebrity icons'. In fact Srija-Sirish topic is going to be discussed in big way in that with the involvement of a few psychologists, lecturers, youngsters and parents.

Buzz: Priyamani Is Going Naughty and Hot!

Actress Priyamani is going hot day by day. She entered the industry wearing sari. But eventually she started shunning her clothes and appearing in short middies exposing her thighs. She is also giving vent to keep her in gossips corner with her talk and activities. She said that she is fortunate enough for not hearing more gossips about her as she is hearing about other heroines. Is that not giving an idea for gossip mongers to spread gossips about her?

In other occasion she said that she is open for lip to lip kisses if scene demands. She already started a lip kiss account in a Tamil film. Priyamani has chosen a different track. She wants to be homely as well as glamorous on screen. She is in the way of balancing both the ends.

Is that not a naughty growth in Priyamani.

Animated film on Rajni to be released next year

Chennai (PTI): Come next December, superstar Rajnikant, the 'sultan' of the Tamil film industry, will create a history, being the first Indian hero to be featured in an animated film.

The 3D animated 'Sultan-The Warrior' will be an action-gripped adventure movie, featuring Rajnikant as a mythological and larger-than-life hero.

Slated to be released in December 2008, the 90-minute-long movie will be offered as a "gift" to the superstar on his next birthday from none other than his younger daughter Soundarya Rajnikant. The filmstar celebrated his 57th birthday yesterday.

Directed by Soundarya, the film boasts of some of the big names in the industry, including music director A R Rehman, lyricist Vairamuthu and art director Thotta Tharani, besides a Hollywood stunt master.

Rajnikant himself will lend his voice to the animated version.

Produced by Adlabs, a largest entertainment conglomerate, in association with Soundarya's computer graphics company 'Ocher Studios,' the film will be released in Tamil, English, Hindi and Telugu.

While media circles speculate that 'Sultan' could be India's most expensive animated film, Ocher Studios Executive Producer Karthik told PTI that the budget would be double than that of any regular Rajnikant movie.

Being in production for the last six months, the film would be a treat to both children and adults alike, particulary to Rajni fans, with the right mix of comedy, stunt, sentiment, duets and message, besides the superstar's trademark style and punchy dialogues, he added.

Rumors: Heroine Slapped Big Hero cum Producer

Don't come to conclusion that heroine literally slapped big hero and producer. She almost did something of that sort- a clear 'tit for tat'. It's Naynatara who genuflected to touch the feet of that big man of Tollywood seeking blessings a few years ago. She was not a famous one by then. 'Chandramukhi' wasn't made by that time. The big man intended to introduce his son. He found two producers who wished to make the film with all new team. They brought Nayantara to pair up with his son. When the big man noticed that the heroine is also going to be a new face, he bluntly said that he wants a renowned face but not a new face like that. He didn't even bother to talk to Nayantara at that time. Nayantara was shunned and the role was given to other heroine then. The film flopped and that is another story.

Eventually Nayantara turned a popular heroine. Freshly when the big man asked Nayantara to pair up with his other son, she simply shunned saying, "It's difficult to get my dates for you now".

'Every dog has its own day'. This is the old adage. We have to say 'every heroine has her own time'.

Nayantara's Health Is Getting into Trouble

Grapevine says that Nayanatara's health is getting into trouble. She has undergone liposuction treatment to look slimmer and that worked out indeed. She has been on the top ever since she reduced her measurements. She is getting new offers now and at the same time picking up her weight slowly. Although liposuction is done, either due to back to normal food habits or due to body constitution, one picks up weight.

Nayantara is now going to second phase of liposuction to cut down her little fat that is accumulated at her hip area. Sources say that her health would be in trouble with these multiple liposuctions. Due to quick variation in body weight she is bound to fatigue and convulsions. Already she was collapsed once in Kochi Airport when her first phase of liposuction is done.

But what can she do? She cannot lose crores of offers just with the fear of collapsing and troubling health! She is highly money minded.

Actor Caught Red Handed With Public Romance

An actor who is the son of yesterday's villain was caught red handed by police at the Hitec Railway Station a few days back. That was at late night when the actor was in eroticism with a girl in a deserted corner in his car. A police van approached the place and focused torch lights on them.

As the constable approached the producer he could make out who he is. And then as the CI got down the van and approached the car, he too could make out who the actor is and saluted with a smile.

Then CI asked the actor to leave the place and continue it somewhere else as the place is known for bad things. Everything went on in silent mode and the public image of that actor was protected by police. That's the value for celebrities in AP!

Sekhar Kammula's Bengali Connection

What is Sekhar Kammula's Bengali connection? This is the question that is dinning in the heads of many. He was born and brought up in AP and got educated in USA. But his close friends are from Bengal in big way. The well known Bengali personality who is close to Sekhar Kammula is Kamalini Mukherjee.

And there is Chandana Chakraborthy who is close to him. She acted as mother in law to Kamalini Mukherjee in the film 'Anand'. In fact people cannot forget that martinet mother in law in the film. She is not seen in big way in any film later on. She is known only with Anand.

And freshly in the film 'Happy Days' it was said that a guest role was given to a Bengali lady called Shangrila. She played the role of mother to the character Shravanthi (ringed hair beauty). She appears only in one scene when Tyson comes and asks her to send Shravanthi to picnic. Shangrila now works as a teacher in Indus World School at Sainik Puri in Hyderabad.

Well, what's this Bengali connection of Sekhar Kammula? Is it just coincidental!!!
