More news →Village adoption is not for publicity -Mahesh
Superstar Mahesh Babu has adopted two villages, each in two Telugu states and at that time it is criticised that he adopted it as more publicity for Srimanthudu movie. And now, on May 8th he visited Burripalem, which triggered debate that this is another publicity for Brahmotsavam. Responding on the same, Mahesh said, "My brother in law came up with the plan of adopting Burripalem while Srimanthudu shoot is going on. I didn't announced it to public because people will think its a publicity strategy. Even now, I've visited the village to kick start development but not for Brahmotsavam publicity. Come after two years, to see how I will develop the village". That should clear the air over remarks that his 'adoption' is a publicity game.

Lara now knows the real village life
Lara Dutta experienced a different way of leading life that she had till now only read, heard or seen in other movies. The Bollywood babe on her way to the shooting location Pollachi in Tamilnadu might not have thought that portraying the character of a simple very poor village woman will turn out to be so difficult. When director Priyadarshan saw Lara's selection of her character's outfits designed by noted designer Nita Lulla, he immediately rejected it as he felt that the costumes are too good, beautiful and glamorous to be used by the wife of a struggling barber in a remote village. The director decided to buy all the required dresses for Lara of his own and he came back with very low cost cotton sarees. Then began the 20 days long ordeal of enacting the extremely down to earth and rustic role of the wife of Billo Barber. Lara Dutta was made by Priyadarshan to do everything from feeding the goats, to getting water from the well to blowing a chulha and to walk barefoot for a long time during the time of shooting. It will be worth the wait to watch how well this actress has carried of the most different role in her career as till now she has been seen only in highly glamorous roles of urban modern girls.
