Sameera Reddy set to romance Nandamuri Balakrishna?

After ending a six-year hiatus from Tollywood with a sizzling item number with Venky and Rana — in the recently-released Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum — Bollywood siren Sameera Reddy could be making a comeback as a lead actress in Telugu films. It is reliably learnt that the actress has been approached to play the lead opposite actor Balakrishna in his next venture.

Sources close to Balayya reveal that the filmmakers are on the verge of signing her up. Apparently, the actress has already heard the script and loved it. It's going to be a big-ticket, action-entertainer and Sameera, it is learnt, has a meaty role in the movie. "Sameera loves the role sketched out for the leading lady in the movie.

However, it is too early to comment about it as she is yet to sign on the dotted line, as some details are yet to be worked out, and an official confirmation will be made as soon as she does that," says her spokesperson. Incidentally, Sam's last outing in a lead role was opposite NTR Jr (Balakrishna's nephew) in Ashok. It will be interesting to see if Sameera can rework the magic with his uncle, Balayya.Well, if her item number with the other famous uncle-nephew duo — Rana and Venky — is anything to go by, Sameera might just ace it again.

Sameera Reddy Lodges a Complaint Against a Publication

Actress Sameera Reddy is unhappy over a magazine, which published her old picture with Dr Vijay Mallya on its cover page and wrote a story on his airlines. She has sent a legal to the Kerala-based publication to seek an apology for misleading cover page.

The title of the cover page says, 'End of Good Times' where Sameera Reddy will be seen with the liquor baron. The actress says that she maintains a decent image in South and the photograph makes people to believe that she has connections with Vijay Mallya's airlines.

Sameera Reddy further adds that the picture, which was taken a few years ago, on the cover page has upset her family. Hence, she has lent the notice and asking them to give an apology.

Bollywood is Fickle: Sameera Reddy

Actress Sameera Reddy, who's balancing work in the south and north, feels that Bollywood is 'fickle'. Ask her why and she reasons, "It just moves. Today you're there, tomorrow you're not. South is also like that, but to a lesser extent in comparison with Bollywood. People really stick to you. Even if you go up or down this Friday or the next, they still really support you. People in Bollywood shift like the wind."

However, that's not the case with people down south, in her opinion. "The most important thing is they're time bound, they don't waste your dates, they're God-fearing, they take care of you, if they love you, they make sure you don't leave, they make sure you're happy," she says.

The actress, whose last release in Tamil was Prabhu Deva's Vedi, is currently doing the lead role and an item number in Priyadarshan's Hindi flick, Tezz. About the item number, she says, "It's quite a pressure today, and producers understand the importance of it. At one point, an item girl was frowned upon but today, she can actually rule the show business. I salute every item girl out there."
