Friday, June 30th, 2006
Aamir Khan has been a busy man lately. Apart from two of his movies, Rang De Basanti and Fanaa, hitting theatres this year, he is also venturing into production. Although his new film is still untitled, it is based on the relationship between a father and his dyslexic son. It is to be directed by painter turned-director, Amole Gupte. Aamir Khan wants to make sure that his casting is just perfect. His production house has even put up a poster at a bookstore in Bandra which states, ‘Wanted Actor! A very naughty boy!’ It goes on to say that if the boy is a bundle of mischief, he should drop his photos at Khan’s office. Let’s hope that Aamir’s search for a naughty boy yields some positive results.

The Hyderabadi sexy siren Meghna Nayudu, who did some steamy movies in the past, caught the eyes of Tollywood with ‘Vikramarkudu’.
It was reported that the Mumbai actress is the reason for a small rift while canning ‘Vikramarkudu’. Rumors were agog that she had packed her bags midway since S S Rajamouli shouted at her for not giving her best during the shoot of the movie. But Meghna took that positive.
“Tell me which director doesn’t shout at his heroines. A dedicated director who demands excellence from his artistes certainly shouts when few things go wrong. For that one should not leave the place. Though I had acted in a few films before, I have learnt to give my best on screen only after started to act in Vikramarkudu”, she says.
“I am here to stay and act in many more movies. With the success of Vikramarkudu I hope more offers from the Telugu industry. I have a place for myself in Tollywood”, she adds.
