Mr. Consistency
COMEDY AND consistent at that, happens to be Ram Jagan's forte. The talented actor popular for his shiny pate, is busy these days shooting for Nine, a crime thriller for Gemini, and a socio-drama Anubandhalu.
Jagan who made his acting debut on big screen with Mangalya Balam and was noticed for his performance in the Nagarjuna starrer, Shiva has proved his mettle on the small screen with consistency and a wide array of emotions.
He is among the few actors whose talent cuts across channel barriers and is seen virtually on all of them.
Jagan is very possessive of his tonsured look and zealously guards it.
Ask if he is planning to allow his hair to grow and Jagan vehemently denies it.
"No way, the look is here to stay," he says. And the reason for this according to the actor is, "my girl friends like the shiny pate and are against any change."
Impressive graphics
THIS ONE comes with an engaging plot. Nagaastram, the new serial on ETV during the weekends, makes for an engrossing viewing complete with a good story and impressive graphics.
The story unfolds in a blighted village. The idol of the presiding deity, with which the fortunes and prosperity of the village is tied is lost. The narrative shifts to top gear as it follows the search for the idol. The serial comes with good technical support and appears set for a long and popular run.
Right notes
AFTER A poor initial run, Zee Alpha seems to be on way of finding the right content for the channel. The new serials that are being made for the channel include Sixth Sense, a thriller laced with supernatural drama. A gritty cop is haunted with visions that tell the hidden story behind different crimes in his jurisdiction. He uses the images that come visiting him during sleep to find solutions to crimes that have been deemed unsolved.
The serial is being shot on real locations and include a gripping chase picturised in the slums of Old City. Sasidhar, who made a mark with his portrayal of cop roles in earlier productions, again dons the uniform and is joined by Kanishka, Anu, Mangala, Rajeswari and Ajay Ghosh. Vinay Gnanamani directs the serial for producers, Fareed and Masood and Sajid.
