Sunil's Six pack!!

Sunil

Looking at that picture of Sunil with those rippling muscles, you might just be tempted to think "photoshop". But here's news for you - "It's 100% real. It took me three years of dedicated working out to get this," says Sunil.
The comedian turned 'hero' is the newest member of the 'six-pack club' in Tollywood. It is quite a transformation from the chubby funny guy image of the actor. He's shed 30 kilos in all. "I weighed 108 kilos three years ago. I've always dreamt of getting a six pack body and have been working on it. For eight months I ran everyday around KBR park to lose all the fat. After that I hit the gym. My good friend, Khaleel, was my trainer and was instrumental in me getting into shape," he says adding, "I was encouraged by the likes of Ravi Teja, Mahesh Babu, NTR, Ram, Nithin, Ram Charan Tej, Bunny and Rana who would chip in with some valuable tips."
Apparently the filmmakers were planning on keeping his new look as a surprise element but the pictures "got leaked." "The idea was to save it as a surprise at the end of the film. "Poolarangadu" is a complete comic entertainer like "Maryada Ramanna" and not an action film. The concern was the pictures would raise expectations with the audience who could go to the theater hoping to see a lot of action. There is only one action episode right at the end," explains Sunil, who had actually toned down for another film which did not work out.
Sunil however, does see the lighter side of the 'leak'. "Had the picture not leaked only the audience who went to watch the film would have seen and appreciated my physique. But thanks to the leak the one's who wouldn't go to watch my film also know about it," he says smiling. Isha Chawla is playing Sunil's love interest in this "out-and-out-entertainer," scheduled to hit the screens on January 14.

Richa’s got a lot of resolutions

Richa

Being an actor comes with it's share of woes, one of them not being able to get back home for Christmas says Richa who's been busy shooting for her upcoming Tollywood flick with Prabhas.
"Christmas is just not the same without the snow, the Christmas tree, peppermint hot choc by the fireplace, my family, presents and the carols. I really missed being home. The festival makes me nostalgic about my childhood in US, I remember celebrating the festival since I was five years old," wrote Richa on her microblogging site. Apparently what she missed most about the festival is her pet dog "Fluffy".
"I miss dressing Fluffy up in his doggy fleece sweater and boots! Hehehee. And cuddling up w him by the fireplace at home!(sic)" she adds. The bubbly actress is getting into New Year mode now. "Thinking of a whole list of New Year's resolutions for 2012.....my list is over 15 now," she posted.

KAJAL AGARWAL POSES SEMI-NUDE

Yes, this is the same ‘Singham’ starrer Kajal Agarwal who vowed that she would never don a bikini on-screen or do any intimate scene as she is not comfortable doing so. She also said that she comes from a conservative family and her family doesn’t want to see their girl in sexy attires or doing intimate scene. We wonder how quickly Kajal forgot what she had said in an interview. Surprisingly, Kajal Agarwal posed semi-nude for FHM magazine.

The actress looks extremely hot dotted black stockings and bare body, covering her secret assets with her two hands. Kajal who debuted in Bollywood with superhit film ‘Singham’ opposite Ajay Devgan looks absolutely amazing on the cover page of FHM. The magazine carries her interview.

Kajal is presently busy shooting Tamil movie ‘Maatraan’, opposite Suriya.

Journalists Angry On Junior NTR

Usually, Junior NTR is known for his cordial relations with fans and colleagues of the industry.
On the other hand, he has always been positive towards the media but this time, it appears that he may have rubbed them on the wrong side. Well, sources from the journalist circles reveal they are very miffed with the ‘kottha pelli koduku’.

It is heard that not all journalists got the wedding invite of NTR. While folks such as Eenadu Ramoji Rao, Andhra Jyothi RK got the invites, buzz is that the regular press meet journalists and cinema heads of various newspapers and magazines were left out.

Even those media people who are in regular touch with the star were reportedly ignored. A senior journalist known to Junior said “Why did NTR do this? I am feeling bad and embarrassed.”
However, for Allu Arjun’s wedding all the cinema heads, many senior journalists got the invite and no one from the media circles were ignored. And a special party was called for all journalists after a while as well. We have to see if Jr NTR carries on any such function in a few days down the line.

The 'Dabangg' star's promoting vegetarianism, following Shahid and other T'towners

Sonu Sood showed off his chiselled bod in 'Dabangg' and now he's gone shirtless in an ad for animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India. A hardcore vegetarian in real life, Sonu features in the ad in low-slung jeans with the tag line - Strong Body. Tender Heart. Go Vegetarian.

"I really thank PETA for making me a part of their family. I think we should bring that kind of awareness to everyone that we have to do something for animals - become vegetarians and do good to this Earth," Sonu, 37, said.

Sonu, who played a villain opposite Salman Khan in last year's superhit 'Dabangg', is the latest to join the list of celebrities like Lara Dutta, Pamela Anderson, Shahid Kapoor, Sir Paul McCartney, R. Madhavan and Anil Kumble who are promoting a vegetarian diet.

Big B’s clashing with Aamir

 

In a clash of titans, Amitabh Bachchan's home production 'Bbuddah-Hoga Terra Baap' is set to release July 1 and Aamir Khan's 'Delhi Belly' will hit the screens on the same day. And Big B is quite excited about it.

"Bbuddah..." is about an old man who feels young, and will see Amitabh, 68, riding a Harley Davidson, while 'Delhi Belly' is about three friends living together in a bachelor pad in the capital.

More than being nervous about the clash, Amitabh is excited that 'Bbuddah...' is releasing before his other film 'Aarakshan'.

"It now seems probable that 'Bbuddah' even though started its shot after the shoot for 'Aarakshan' was over, has finished before. And...now is set to be released before 'Aarakshan' too. 'Bbuddah' on July 1st," Amitabh posted on his blog www.bigb.bigadda.com.

'Aarakshan', a film on caste-based reservations, directed by Prakash Jha, will hit the screens Aug 12 and Big B is looking forward to both releases.

"Two films after a long gap and two very different roles and films. The first a dramatic, fun, film. The latter more intense, topical, and edgy, very sincere and touching, on a topic and subject which many talk of behind closed doors but never outside," he wrote.

The veteran star says he is glad he is able to maintain variety at his age.

"As an actor I feel elated that there is diversity on offer. When you are nearing 70 it does become scarce … the offers. But the challenge that comes by in the offering is immense. There is an opportunity of getting characters to play that may have been not too easy to play when you were younger. Or even if there was an opportunity, the commerce did not allow it."
