When Nani felt like a kid

Actor Nani, currently shooting here for southern remake of "Band Baja Baaraat", had an opportunity to run into actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan, and says he felt like a kid waiting for his autograph. Nani and Kamal Haasan were shooting on adjacent floors. Kamal was filming for upcoming multilingual thriller "Vishwaroopam 2". "Like a kid who wants to get a glimpse of his favourite movie star, I thought (I) will go meet him and take a picture (with him) and ask for an autograph," Nani posted on his Twitter page. Nani, however, couldn't believe when Kamal welcomed him graciously. "To my surprise what followed was a warm welcome. He knows me and has seen my work. (I) couldn't believe it. He introduced me to his heroine and told her how my name has a different meaning in Tamil when it's just a pet name in Telugu," he wrote. Having met Kamal, he feels he is in a state of trance. "(I) had a chat with him and got back to shoot. (I think) dreams do come true. I'm still in a trance," he further posted. Nani, known for Telugu films such as "Ashta Chamma" and "Ala Modalaindi", rose to stardom with critically acclaimed Telugu revenge-drama "Eega". He is also busy shooting for Telugu action-drama "Janda Pai Kapiraju".

Akhil says he is not ready yet

Akkineni Nagarjuna must be one proud father. Both his sons are in the Tollywood film industry following his footsteps. While Naga Chaitanya already has some hits to his name, it remains to see whether younger brother Akhil Akkineni, the younger son of Nagarjuna, will repeat his brother's or his father's successes. Over the past few months, there has been a lot of curiosity over what his debut film is going to be and there were rumours that he is already in talks with few directors. Recently, a section of media reported that Akhil is going to make his debut soon; however, he has completely denied the news. He took to Twitter to clear the air. 'Hey everyone ! Just clearing the air, I haven't signed any movie at the moment. I'm still in the process of getting ready for my debut '.. A debut isn't a joke so taking all the advise and help I need to set up the right script. I'm more excited than anyone and will announce ' As soon as I have finalised a project. Very soon :) until then laying low and gearing up for the biggest day of my life! love to all :) (sic)' So there you have it, Akhil is still looking for his debut film.
