The hottest trend is walking the aisle clad in scanty outfits set to sizzle, the screens which has become an adage for female stars. But, the young heroine Trisha has an entirely different take on the glam show done by other actresses. Bikini fever is now raging in South Indian Cinema with Nayantara, Anushka and Priyamani daring to go bare in their forthcoming films.

Trisha is against such revealing costumes and says, 'Bikini style outfits will not suit my physique nor I will feel comfortable wearing them. I am not for appearing in scanty costumes and so far directors have not asked me to wear such stuff either. Just because others are ready to be a glam prop doesn't mean I should go the same way'.

Even though all along her career Trisha was seen in more decent roles, she had appeared in a swim suit earlier for 'Stalin' starring Chiranjeevi. With all negating words, we might wonder Trisha will never venture into glamour again but she is going to appear in a bikini for 'Sarvam' in Tamil.

We need not reiterate here that if we question her about why would she consent to be the glam prop, the answer would be you-all-know-what, 'cause the script demands it'. So far as we know appearing in skimpy bikini and walking straight out of the waves is not demanded by the script unless it's a James Bond flick.

Trisha will be next seen in the family melodrama 'Akasamantha', a remake version of a Tamil film starring Prakash Raj as Trisha's father. Jagapathi Babu is donning a pivotal role in the movie which is being altered to suit the taste of Telugu audience. 'Dil' Raju produces the film and Radha Mohan directs it which will get released shortly.

The long awaited film ‘Varudu’ starring Mahesh Babu to be directed by Trivikram Srinivas is finally set to start rolling from 18th this month. Singanamala Ramesh produces the film on Kanakarathna Movies banner.

Again, a new hurdle is one the way for the crew. Parvathi Melton was decided upon to play the heroine earlier but a change might occur in the cast, says reliable sources. Anushka might step in to Parvathi’s shoes and play the main heroine. The script has space for one more heroine who is yet to be finalized. ‘Varudu’ will most probably be the confirmed title and during initial stages of shooting action scene will be shot choreographed by stunt master VT Vijayan.

With surmounting expectations after Mahesh – Trivikram’s ‘Athadu’, this upcoming film is being made with a view to appeal the mass. Filming will be carried out in the locales of Hyderabad, Rajasthan, Nasik and South Africa

‘Drona’ starring Nithin and Priyamani in the lead cast is directed by J. Karuna Kumar. DS Rao is producing the film on Sai Krishna Productions banner in association with TV5. The film has shaped up fast with the earnest work of the cast and crew, says the maker.

An associate of director SS Rajamouli, Karuna Kumar debuts as a director with ‘Drona’. Nithin, the budding action star has enacted the role of a Good Samaritan trying to save the country from the bad doers. Priyamani is on a glamour spree and has dared to bare her assets in the most riveting way. She will be appearing in a two piece suit and also in skimpy outfits for a rain dance which was recently canned in Ramoji Film city. As if the glam quotient is not enough, the makers have roped in Rakhi Sawanth for an item number.

For emotional content, Mukhesh Rushi and Seetha share screen space for rendering the touchy and teary scenes. Supreme Music released the audio which is doing well in the market. The complete entertainer ‘Drona’ will hit screens 20th this month.

We have to wait and see how Nithin hits the mark this time which was missed in his last ‘Hero’.
