More news →Anupama Parameswaran in Ravi Teja's next
Actress Anupama Parameswaran, who rose to fame with her performance in Malayalam blockbuster "Premam", has bagged a big Telugu project opposite actor Ravi Teja. "Anupama plays one of the leading ladies in the film. The makers are on the lookout for the lead heroine. It's not clearly known what kind of role will Anupama be playing, but she has already been finalised and has also been paid the advance," a source from the film's unit told. The yet-untitled film will be directed by Venu Sriram and produced by Dil Raju. The regular shooting will start after Ravi Teja wraps up work on his upcoming Telugu actioner "Bengal Tiger". In a span of two months, Anupama has signed three Telugu projects, including the remake of "Premam" in the language. She has also been signed on for filmmaker Trivikram's next Telugu romantic drama "AaAa" with the tagline "Anasuya Ramalingam versus Anand Vihari".
Paramedics treat 20 for hypothermia ahead of Pope visit
Paramedics treated more than 20 people for hypothermia after a pre-dawn torrential rain doused a crowd of several hundred thousand waiting to hear Pope Francis speak in Ecuador. City Operations director Cristian Rivera said the water-logged crowd received blankets from emergency workers as they awaited the second Mass of the Pontiff’s South American tour. Two hydrosuction trucks worked to remove puddles from several inundated sections of the park, Rivera said. A 59-year-old seafood vendor, Abel Gualoto, rubbed his cold hands and said he didn't mind the discomfort. "The joy at seeing the pope gives us the warmth we need," he said. When he arrived, Francis told the estimated half-million people gathered Tuesday that in a world divided by wars, violence and individualism, Catholics should be "builders of unity," bringing together hopes and ideals of their people. He said: "There was no shortage of conviction or strength in that cry for freedom which arose a little more than 200 years ago. But history tells us that it only made headway once personal differences were set aside." The Mass featured readings in Quichua, the native language most spoken in Ecuador, and Ecuadorean vestments for the pope. Meanwhile, Ecuador's largest indigenous association is complaining that it was left off of Pope Francis's agenda during his visit to the country, where the group has been at odds with President Rafael Correa. The head of the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities, Jorge Herrera, said Roman Catholic Church officials never responded clearly to the group's request to meet directly with Francis during his three days in the country. "It seems we're not being permitted a direct voice," he said late Monday. The pope has made outreach to indigenous people a persistent theme during his three-nation South American tour. He has said indigenous peoples are the most vital stewards of the environment and the group most hurt by the ravages of deforestation and contamination by petroleum and mining industries. The confederation, known by its Spanish initials as CONAIE, believes that for that reason, Francis should grant it privileged status during his three days in Ecuador. The pope had no events in the country specifically aimed at indigenous people, though a lector at Tuesday's papal Mass in Quito delivered a reading in its dominant native tongue, Quichua. In addition, 20 indigenous delegates were invited to a Tuesday night meeting with the pope that includes an array of "civil society" organizations, from business to sports to cultural figures CONAIE has clashed with nearly every Ecuadorean government since it was founded in 1986, and its street mobilizations helped topple a president in 2000. It has been battling Correa's effort to expand mining and oil drilling in the Amazon and several of its activists have been jailed for their roles in the protests. Vatican planners generally try to avoid political provocations of a host government and usually are showered with requests for a meeting with the pontiff. Ecuador's 18 indigenous groups -- dominated by the Quichua to which Herrera belongs -- account for at least a third of the country's 15 million people. However, only about 1 million identified themselves as such in the country's 2010 census.
Anupama Parameswaran talks about Kodi, Dhanush and Trisha
Anupama Parameswaran, the curly haired beauty of Premam comes to K Town with Kodi, the Dhanush starrer. The film is gearing up for a release next week, the 28th October. We catch up with the actress: How Kodi happened? The director Durai Senthilkumar gave an outline of the story and my character. I liked it and that’s how I came on board Kodi. Your role in Kodi I play an egg vendor called Malathy. It is a partially rural character and is very different from the other roles I have done till date. I am like a typical Tamil girl in the movie. I have tried to give my own dimension to this role. The audiences should see and give their feedback. Dhanush and Trisha It was great working with Dhanush and the experience added to my learning curve a lot. I feel honored to have worked with such a versatile performer. I did have a couple of combination scenes with Trisha. She is a great actress. Both Dhanush and Trisha have been in the industry for a long time and are highly experienced. As a newcomer, I had the opportunity of learning a lot from them. Did you dub in Kodi? I dubbed for myself in Kodi. The director guided and supported me in this. I don’t know how it has come out, but I am happy that I spoke for myself. Difference between Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam industries I am not that experienced to comment on this. But I feel they are more or less similar but for the difference in the languages. In Tamil and Telugu I have to learn the dialogues more than Malayalam. . Other projects Currently, I am doing a Malayalam and a Telugu film. I am yet to sign a Tamil film. Discussions are going on and things are yet to be finalized. We wish you the best Anupama!
