Mumaith Khan stuns heroine!!!

Mumait Khan has had mixed results in Telugu. 'Evadaithey Naakenthi' was a super hit. Soon after, she was picked up by Lawrence Raghava for 'Don' but she was thrown out of it for mysterious reasons.

She has now shifted her attention to Tamil and is having a pretty good run there.

'Madurai Veeran' is the name of the film that she is eagerly waiting for now. Megasupergood Film's RB Choudary is the producer and it stars his elder son Ramesh in the lead role.

They had picked up Saloni as the heroine. As the name suggests, Saloni is from Mumbai. Like most Bollywood star aspirants, Saloni has no qualms about wearing glamorous costumes or even starring in an item number. Since this is her first film in Tamil, she is more than eager to make a powerful impact on the audience.

So, imagine her surprise when she heard that the producer and director had picked Mumait for a very glamorous item number in the film.

An intense glamour-rivalry will be on in this film.

Conflict between five heroines!!!

These days, it is difficult to have a trouble-free shooting with just one heroine. Imagine what it would be like to make a film with five heroines!!! The stunt was recently attempted in Tamil with great success. The five heroines in question were very well-known in Telugu too- Sneha, Namitha, Malavika, Jyothirmayi (from '12 Strangers') and Keerthi Chawla.

When the shooting was on, there were no conflicts among the actresses.

But now problem has surfaced.

It all began when one of the reporters asked the director about the pay packages to the five heroines. He wanted to know who was paid the most.

Everybody assumed that Sneha would have received the highest pay because all the other heroines in the film were more glamour-prone and therefore were somehow considered lesser mortals when it comes to pay cheques.

The director was in a dilemma. He simply said, "My task was to direct the film and complete it without troubles. You'll have to ask the producer about the pay cheques."

Trisha returns as Chiru's heroine???

It looks as if Trisha is fast becoming an 'old habit' of director Prabhudeva.

For some mysterious reason, the team of 'Shankardada Zindabad' just hasn't been able to make its mind up about the film's heroine. Initially, everybody was bent on bringing Vidhya Balan in as the heroine. She just wouldn't accept the offer because she had old scores to settle with the south Indian film industry and she is very busy with her Bollywood offers.

Then, there was Asin. She was okay until the Hindi version of 'Ghajini' with Aamir Khan happened.

Prabhudeva and Trisha are very good friends. There were rumors that the actress was the one who had recommended him as the director of the Tamil version of 'Pokkiri'. She had already worked as heroine in both the films that Prabhudeva had directed in Telugu.

Now, it seems the director is eager to bring her in as the heroine of 'Shankardada Zindabad'. She was Chiranjeevi's heroine in his previous film 'Stalin' too, so he isn't going to be that pleased about working with her in two consecutive films.

What we don't understand is- why has it become so difficult to find a heroine for a Megastar film???

Abbas gets injured doing a somersault!

One should not attempt to do things that are beyond one's capability. Actor Abbas learnt it the hard way. In his over eagerness, he did a somersault and broke his left hand.

Though it is rare to see Abbas in Tamil films, he makes frequent appearances in Telugu films. He is now the hero of a Telugu film 'Ruthramani' and the shooting is going on in Hyderabad.

In a fight scene, Abbas is supposed to clash with villain Sathyaprakash. Stunt master Prakash planned to use a dupe for a scene where Abbas is to do a somersault. But Abbas turned down the suggestion, even when director Khalil advised using a dupe. He wanted to do the action himself.

As luck would have it, Abbas lost grip and hurt his left hand and it started to bleed. Shooting was stopped. Abbas was taken to the hospital and treated. There are varying reports - one that he has been only slightly hurt and another that he has broken his arm.

But one thing is for sure. That Abbas got hurt when doing a somersault and landed in hospital!
