I missed being on silver screen: Shilpa Shetty

Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty, who is returning to the big screen after four years with the Sino-Indian venture "The Desire", admits that she missed being on celluloid but has learnt to prioritise her life with time.  "I have taken a backseat from showbiz purely out of choice because I am really enjoying what I am doing. I've been there and done that," Shilpa told reporters here at the launch of website www.grouphomebuyers.com.  Shilpa, who married Britain-based Indian businessman Raj Kundra in 2009, wants to focus on her personal life and business.  "I miss being on the silver screen but I have learnt to prioritise things and my marriage is obviously my first priority.  "Then all my ventures where I have put my hard earned money and my sweat and toil into, obviously require time. So it's not possible for me to dabble into too much," she said.  The 36-year-old, who has appeared in nearly 40 films, is soon going to make her debut as a producer.  "My production isn't on hold. We are still working on it and there will be an official announcement very soon," she said.  Her film, "The Desire", chronicles the journey of an Indian classical dancer, Goutami played by Shilpa, and the love story between her and a Chinese artist, Jai Leang, whom she meets during a travel assignment

Mahesh's 'The Businessman' Story Leaked

It is known news that director Puri Jagannadh has begun work on his new project ‘The Businessman’ and even hero Mahesh Babu has geared up to join the shoot. The film is being tracked with curiosity and interest since Puri has targeted January 12th, 2012 as the release which means the schedules will happen at breakneck speed.

Meanwhile, there is news that the story of ‘The Businessman’ has leaked. Buzz is that the story has been inspired from the mining king Gali Janardhana Reddy’s life. It is heard that the film is about how a normal man grows big by involving in the mines business, using political backup and establishing links.

But then, it is heard that this is not being publicized like Gali’s story. It is being projected as how a young man using his brainpower gets into business and rises to great heights. It is also heard that he would be seen using every small corner of society to achieve his goal. Only the film’s release will reveal the secret.

Sneha Ullal Gets FB Publicity From Lover

During the shooting of the film ‘Current’, strong talks made rounds that Sushant and Sneha Ullal were floating in deep romance. After some denials, the media kept quiet. But it looks like both are not out of their ‘Viraha Vedana’ still. Now that media is also quiet both are getting bolder.

They are romancing each other secretly and now that matter has been leaked through Facebook. Apparently, ‘Current’ shook the career of Sneha and put it in dilemma. Due to that, the actress who was called Jr Aishwarya Rai is now pairing up with Allari Naresh for ‘Madatha Kaja’.

The film is arriving on September 30th and it is heard that Sneha’s lover Sushant is busy doing the promotion in Facebook. He is putting soap to his fans stating ‘Just like the way you made the audio a hit, you should make the film also a hit’. Let us see how much the efforts work.

'NTR' War Among Nandamuri Cousins

Nandamuri Taraka Ramarao, the name that became a legend in AP as ‘NTR’, was taken by his grandson as Jr NTR and that is known for all. But recently even Tarakaratna claimed to be rechristening his name as NTR (Nandamuri Taraka Rathna). Obviously that is going to create confusion.

On the other hand Jr NTR wanted to avoid Jr as prefix for his name. But with Tarakaratna becoming NTR, there is going to be confusion in Tollywood.

Inside news say that Tarakaratna is doing this only to disturb Jr NTR as the later is not seeing eye to eye even with Balakrishna or any Nandamuri family member after his marriage with highly rich Lakshmi Pranathi.

Even during Oosaravelli audio function, Balayya didn’t turn up at all. Jr NTR didn’t even compromise on postponing the release date of Oosaravelli giving way to Sri Rama Rajyam.

Jr NTR’s popularity is disturbing Nandamuri cousins. And Jr NTR is in the feeling that he and his mother were insulted for many years by that family but now coming forward to use them politically. Hence he is showing his power now with his own whims and fancies, not worrying about anyone.

We have to see how far Tarakaratna’s decision affects Jr NTR.

Bipasha and Rana Daggubati get closer

Queenie Dhody's bash for Paris Hilton in Mumbai was a night full of glamour and glitz, despite the fact that most of Bollywood decided to give it a miss.

Sonakshi Sinha, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Abhay Deol, Arjun Rampal, Dino Morea and Imran Khan were conspicuous by their absence, while only a few known faces (including Sushmita Sen, Kangana Ranaut, Bipasha Basu, Rana Daggubati, Shazahn Padamsee and Gul Panag) bothered to show up. We were told that the poor star turn out was due to Surinder Kapoor's demise.

However, the guests who did show up were certainly in a mood to party and how!

The moment the American heiress, dazzling in a silver outfit, made her late night entry at the disco at around 1 am everyone flocked around to get clicked with her.

Paris, followed by her entourage, designer Rocky S and Queenie, danced her way to the DJ console, posing for the star struck fans on the way.

Sushmita Sen and Pooja Bedi were caught up in some serious girl talk. Sush was accompanied by a tall and bespectacled mystery man. Gul spent considerable time with photographer Atul Kasbekar.

Kangana, who was earlier caught in a controversy regarding being the face of Paris Hilton's brand of handbags in India, seemed to be completely starstruck. She ensured she got her picture clicked with Paris.

However, the highlight of the night were Bipasha Basu and Rana Daggubati.

While Bips, easily the best-dressed woman of the night in her shimmery white jumpsuit, was happily high and dancing with her girl gang, Rana stuck by her side the whole night.

Though they restrained indulging in any sort of PDA, their chemistry was very apparent. A source says, "Towards the end of the party, Bipasha was in high spirits. Rana was with her throughout giving her company."

The revelry, which went on till the wee hours, came to an end only when the guest of honour decided to retire.
