Working On DJ Was Fulfilling Experience For Pooja Hegde

Pooja Hegde, last seen in Ashutosh Gowariker’s Mohenjo Daro, avers that she had a fulfilling experience while working in the upcoming Telugu entertainer Duvvada Jagannadham aka DJ. “I thoroughly enjoyed shooting for Duvvada Jagannadham aka DJ and the experience has been very fulfilling. As an actor, it’s essential a film does well, but its fate is not in our hands. What’s more important are the memories you make while working on each project.” She added, “You spend nearly 6 months on a project. You leave everything & stay with people you don’t even know. If you don’t enjoy working with them, nothing else really matters. You need to find a family in the people you work with. I’m glad I found a family in Duvvada Jagannadham aka DJ.” Having mostly played the homely, girl – next – door in her Telugu films so far, Pooja has upped the glamour quotient in Duvvada Jagannadham aka DJ. “Unlike my simple & good looking avatars so far, I have played a very glamorous role. It’s the kind of character that helped me grow as an actor,” she said, heaping praises on co -star Allu Arjun, “He is like a rubber man…someone who can dance phenomenally and he does it with a0certain swag. I always end up working with great dancers. It was Hrithik (Roshan) last time & now Allu Arjun,” she stated. “Each time I saw his dance portion, I’d call him and say how he nailed every step. I would tell him jokingly that I have to take extra dance lessons just to match his performance. He is a very friendly & a honest co – star.” she concludes. Directed by Harish Shankar, the film is slated for release soon. On working with Harish, Pooja said, “He is the funniest director I have ever worked with. You take any behind – the – scenes photograph and you’d find us – Harish, Arjun & I – laughing & goofing around. We had so much fun shooting.” Pooja says that Harish is very easy to work with.

Rana to Act Under Vinayak’s Direction?

Rana Duggabatti has gained great popularity with Baahubali series but his aim is now to get the success as a solo hero. He is now interacting with directors to line up his next movies. He is looking for a director who establishes him as a big star. On the other hand, his father Suresh Babu is trying to rope in V V Vinayak, who has been sitting idle after the release of Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Khaidi No 150 and his efforts to get dates of a top star went in vain. Hoping to begin a movie with NTR next year, he is just cooling off without any work. It has to be seen whether he would give his nod to direct Rana Duggabatti. V V Vinayak earlier rejected the offer of directing Sai Dharam Tej on the grounds that the budget is not viable. He now cannot make a movie with Rs 40 Cr budget, where as Sai Dharam Tej has just Rs 25 cr market. Hence the proposal didn’t materialize. But with Rana Duggabatti, he will not face such a problem as his movies can be dubbed into Tamil, Hindi & Malayalam languages.

Gautham Nanda Excites Market

Gopichand & Sampath Nandi’s Gautham Nanda has excited the market with its teaser released a few days back. The film is all geared for a massive release in Jul 2nd week. Makers are negotiating on fewer areas as business of major territories in Telugu states is closed at unbelievable prices.

Meanwhile, Hindi dubbing rights is closed at Rs 4.75 crores, fairly high and Gemini TV shelled about Rs 5.50 crores for the satellite rights.

The Girl – Next – Door Trying Hard For A Sex -Bomb Image

Lavanya Tripathi, who made her debut with Andala Rakshasi, has big hits like Bhale Bhale Magadivoy & Soggade Chinni Nayana to her credit. Despite having big hits up her sleeves, Lavanya is yet to get into the big league. Lavanya has been restricted to doing medium budget films or cast alongside veteran stars. Any actress should get a chance to romance the current superstars to become a star. For some reason, Tollywood has typecast Lavanya in typical village belle characters or the usual girl – next – door types until now. The former Miss Uttarakhand surely wants to see herself in glamorous roles on the celluloid silcev screen. Although Lavanya isn’t vocal about it, her appearances at public events scream “I am looking to be a sex – bomb”. Lavanya’s latest public appearance at Filmfare awards event proves that she is game for glamour roles. Is TFI watching?

Samved School formerly known as A. V. Education Society held its golden jubilee year celebrations in the city recently. The students of the school performed a docu drama on the life of their school’s founder Mrs. Ambuja Venkataraman called “Ambujavalli”

The school was started in a very humble manner in a rented building in Jayanagar VIII block, Bangalore in 1967. The founder, Mrs. Ambuja Venkataraman was very modern in her outlook and much ahead of her times, entering career routes uncommon for women in those days. Her career started with Tata Airlines (now Air India) as an Air Hostess. She later went on to act in the South Indian stage & films, married an engineer Mr. T. R. Venkataraman from Madras, before embarking on her true vocation in life, which was education,” shared Mrs. Ameetha Chari, her daughter & trustee of A V Educational Society.

“The objective of this institution has remained consistent over the 5 decades…to provide quality education to people from all backgrounds. This is what has been the vision of Mrs. Ambuja since she herself grew up realizing that education was available only to the privileged class. Mrs. Venkataraman envisioned how education could bring a change in the lives of people and inspire youth into achieving their dreams & their aspirations. With this aim, she started a kindergarten & primary school in Jayanagar VIII Block. Her passion, zeal & enthusiasm enabled her to pursue her ambition of providing quality education to individuals from all walks of life,” Mrs. Chari added.
“The school has always had seats reserved for disadvantaged students, much before the inception of the Right to Education by the Government of India. We are a not for profit institute and keeping with our founder’s vision & wishes, have always educated deserving students at no cost or at concessional rates as suited to the parent’s financial abilities. We are proud to share that many children have been provided free education along with books & uniform,” said Ms. Sandhya Siddharth, Director, Samved School.

“We are currently rated amongst the top 25 state board schools in Bangalore South. Many of our alumni hold high degrees & excellent jobs all around the world. We are especially proud of these students because education has made a difference in their lives. The vision of our founder continues to permeate through to this day,” Ms. Sandhya added.

Talking on the need of the hour in education, Mrs. Chari added “Education in the 21st Century has changed vastly but India seems to lag behind in several areas. The biggest challenge that lies within our education system is quality, which is generally theoretical in nature and lacks a practical aspect. When students pass an exam, they forget all the things learnt due to a lack of practical experience. A lot of emphasis is given to scoring high marks in the exam rather than acquiring quality knowledge, thus it becomes a rat race. Practical knowledge & skill based education is still far away from the reach of students studying in schools & colleges.”

Talking on the varied initiatives, Ms. Sandhya averred, “The School has integrated e – learning into its teaching & learning format. Smart Boards have been installed in all our classrooms and we have successfully used this platform to make learning more interesting, fun loving & interactive.

Knowledge & learning is a global phenomenon and we realize the importance of being in touch with the outside world. The school has partnered with The British Council’s International Schools Award (ISA) giving its curriculum an international perspective. We also partnered with schools around the globe and under this program, international festivals have been celebrated, dances & cultures learnt & exchanged. This project gave our students the opportunity to have a real time perspective on the lives & cultures of people in other parts of the world.”

“Quality education is still above the reach of an average individual in India. At Samved, we ensure that the school does not differentiate when people seek admission based either on their financial or educational backgrounds. We are proud to have children from families wherein the child admitted is the 1st generational learner in the family. Neither do we send the academically weaker students away when in their final years of high school, to enable us to show that we obtain 100% results in our board exams, unlike some institutions. Our endeavors will continue on this chosen path for many more decades to come,” added Ms. Chari.
