 Glamorous Nisha in Tollywood
We know Nisha Kothari as Ram Gopal Varma's 'James' girl but very few know that she got noticed by Ramu through her Tamil film 'Jay Jay'. After 'Shiva 2006', this glamour girl has her hands full with films like 'Dil Diya', 'Go' and 'Darna Zaroori Hai'. Now the latest news is Nisha has set her eyes on Tollywood. A B.Sc. graduate from Delhi, the actress says, "I don't want to confine myself to just glamorous roles. But though one does performance-oriented roles, it is essential to look good on screen." However, Nisha says that she is proud to have worked with top directors like Mahesh Bhatt and Ramu. Though Nisha terms Ramu as her mentor and guide and takes his opinion in choosing films, she wants to work with all directors. We have to wait and see whether Nisha, a fan of Sridevi, can impress the southern audience if she makes her full-fledged foray into Telugu films.

I have a few Hindi films too coming up but my first preference is Tollywood." Besides her 'Dhee', slated for release sooner or later, Genelia is also doing a Tamil film for director

The magic of two letter titles
After Pournami's average response at the box office, Prabhas' latest flick with Nayantara playing the female lead, has been titled 'Yogi'.
