Tollywood producers and directors are thinking out of the box and are experimenting with international talent in their films. This is great news for music buffs. The International hip hop and R&B (rhythm and blues) singer and rapper, Akon, will belt out a racy number in the forthcoming Telugu film Businessman starring Mahesh Babu and helmed by Puri Jagannath.
After busting US Billboard charts with his racy tracks in a few popular albums such as Trouble, Konvicted and Freedom, Akon is now exploring a new genre in a completely new music zone. His number Chamak Challo in Ra.One is already creating waves in the industry. “We thought of signing on Akon even before Ra.One. Since the director and star, wanted to create a buzz in the music industry, we zeroed in on this top rapper,” says composer Thaman, who is riding on the success of Dukudu, and has already composed a few tracks for the international pop star.
“Two tracks have come out really well and he could be asked to sing one of them. I am eagerly looking forward to working with such a stalwart” he adds. It looks like T-town dream merchants are thinking ‘out of the box’ to revive their winning streak.
Trust Tamanna to stand by her friends – especially when they are designers who make her look great in her movies. When Neeta and Nishika asked her to be the show stopper for their fashion show in the city, the actress agreed and scorched the ramp in a red wine dress. The actress has been shooting non stop for 50 days and says she has another 60 days to go before she takes a break for a well-deserved holiday. “I wake up everyday whining that i need a break” she sighs.
Regarding her experience on the ramp, Tamanna says that she is not a natural and is very accident prone on the catwalk – tripping and falling, she adds is a very normal thing for her. Off screen, she told the gathering of reporters, “I am a dal-chawal (kind of) person. I am not at all glamorous the way I appear on-screen.”
She currently has two movies on the sets in Tollywod and another couple in Kollywood and another untitled venture in Bollywood. That she says is just about what she can handle for the moment
Nani is going places, quite literally. After signing SS Rajamouli’s Eega and Krishnavamsi’s upcoming film, he’s all set to join Gautham Menon’s trilingual film. Incidentally, Ram was cast in this film; however, he walked out shortly after the shooting began citing date issues. Immediately, Gautham Menon signed up Nani to play the lead role in the film which has Samantha as the heroine. The Tamil version has Jiiva and the Hindi version of the film has Aditya Roy Kapur playing the lead roles.
The shooting is going on in full swing. Nani had earlier acted in Veppam (Sega in Telugu) which was produced by Gautham Menon’s production house Photon Kathaas in Tamil. With three big films, Nani is definitely going to make a big splash in 2012.
