Last year after the super hit Hindi film Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na with Imran Khan, Genelia was avoiding signing south Indian films especially Tamil films.

Now that her Life Partner with boy friend Ritesh Deshmukh and Govinda has bombed badly, Gene is having a rethinking of her strategy.

All of a sudden, she was more than willing to do her Telugu film Ready remake in Tamil with Dhanush and sending feelers to big directors.

Genelia after a short lived honeymoon with Bollywood is turning her attention to south in a big way.

In Telugu, her Katha with Ram is ready for release while she has signed the biggest movie, Ram Charan Teja’s Orange.

The big question now being asked in Kollywood is whether Asin will also rethink her strategy and come back to Tamil after London Dreams turned out to be a disaster at the box-office?

Vikram starrer Kandhasamy’s original length of 3 hours 12 minutes has been chopped by 22 minutes by producer Kalaipuli S.Thanu.

Some of the Vadivel comedy scenes and a few other scenes have been cut. Now the running time of the film has been reduced to 2 hours and 50 minutes.

The theatre owners who were finding it difficult to screen the film, has now heaved a collective sigh of relief.

The Telugu version of the film also trimmed.

Anushka, the latest sexy siren in the South Indian movie world, is apparently the numero uno around.

After the grand success of Arundhati, and her dare-bare act in Billa, Anushka has strengthened her position as an actress. She is aiming at becoming the No.1 heroine in Tollywood.

Apart from that, Anushka is also looking to establish a good career in the Tamil film industry, which has been offering her big movies.

Currently, Anushka is working with Vijay, the leading commercial hero of Kollywood, in a film titled Vettaikaran.

“I want to do quality movies and establish a place for myself in the industry. I want to balance my career in both the Tamil and the Telugu film industries. I know that the life span of an actress in filmdom is short. I want to be part of successful and good projects during my stay here”, Anushka says.

With Ankitha in the lead, a film titled `Sunami’ is in the making. Say `Tsunami’ what comes to mind is the catastrophe that struck southern India some time ago but according to the film’s writer Ravindra Desai, the film is about the turbulences in the life of a woman.

The film’s audio was released at a recent function at Prasads Labs in the City. K Raghavendra Rao and Karanam Balarama Krishna Murthy released audio cassette and audio CDs of the film respectively. MM Chowdary whose film `Indrani’ has just been released, is directing the film.
