Venkatesh plays Lord Krishna

Looks like Lord Krishna is the most sought after God in the Telugu film industry. Of late, many film makers and actors have been going in for films depicting Krishna.
After Balakrishna and Nagarjuna, it is now the turn of 'Victory' Venkatesh to play the role of Lord Krishna. All this is happening in the film 'Krishna Mukunda Murari' that is being directed by the talented Krish who debuted with the hit 'Gamyam'.
It is heard that Krish may show Venkatesh as Lord Krishna in the film in a scene or two. An FM radio channel has started spreading this gossip since a couple of days. If it is true, given the intelligent approach of Venky and the brilliance of Krish, the odds are in favour of the role. But indeed, Nag played Lord Krishna's role in 'Krishnarjuna'. Let us wish things wouldn't go wrong that way as Krish is the director.

Ileana not acting with Rajni

Dusky actress Ileana will not be acting with Super Star Rajinikanth in his animated movie Sultan. She turned down the offer siting the reason of less remuneration. It is also being said that at this point of career, Ileana is not concentrating on animated movies but is concentrating only on commercial movies.

Ileana said no to Soundarya Rajnikanth when the latter apporoached her with the proposal. It is also being said that Ileana feels that the audience will not see the heroine in Rajnikanth movie.

But I feel that Ileana is totally thinking in a wrong way because Jothika shot to stardom after acting with Rajni in Chandramukhi, Nayanatara became top star after acting with him in the same movie. Shreya reached to the heights of acting in Hollywood movies only after acting with Superstar in Shivaji.

Heroines are sure to be noted when they act with Rajni Sir……Ileana think again……u might be missing a golden oppurtunity.
