Hansika with Puneet
Hansika Motwaani, the big star of Telugu hit “Desa Muduru” is all set to enter the Kannada film industry through “Bindaas”, the new film of Puneet Raj Kumar. This film is directed by D. Rajendra Babu for producer Chandrashekhar who made successful films like “Annaiah”, “Karpoorada Gombe” and “Dore”. Hansika, who entered the film industry as a child artist, has been a successful model before she was selected by director Puri Jagannadh to play the lead in “Desa Muduru” which had young Allu Arjun in the lead.
Centenary celebrations
Puneet, the young and popular hero of the Kannada film industry, has been delivering hits in a row. “Arrasu” is the latest addition to his list of successes. “Arrasu” has completed 100 days in some centres in the state and this achievement comes in the wake of many big films falling flat in competition with the likes of “Mungaaru Maley” and “Duniya” that are rewriting box-office history in the Kannada film industry. Veteran actor Vishnuvardhan was the chief guest of this colourful function which was also attended by B. Saroja Devi.
Vishnuvardhan went on a nostalgic trip and remembered the many facets of Raj Kumar’s life. “He was like sugar and we had an opportunity to savour it. He was an encyclopaedia in acting, singing, yoga and also in literature,” he said. Of the two heroines of the film, only Ramya was present, while Meera Jasmine, who has delivered a very good performance in the film, was absent.
Uppi and Shivanna again
Superstars Upendra and Shivrajkumar are working together for the second time in a Kannada film “Lava Kusha” directed by Sai Kumar and produced by Prabhakar who have made many successful films like “Anna Tangi”, “Muddina Maava”, “Avaley Nanna Hendti” and “Tavaru Mane”. Charmee and Jennifer are the two heroines of the film who are teamed up with Upendra and Shivarajkumar respectively.
“Lava Kusha”s shooting is in brisk progress in Bangalore and sequences featuring Upendra, Charmee and other artists have already been canned. It is for the first time that the glamorous Charmee, who is having a good streak of success in in Telugu films, is acting in a Kannada film.
