Will Trisha give a big hit for Pawan Kalyan

Trisha was claimed to be lucky mascot for the Telugu heroes. Especially those who were reeling under successive flops, it is Trisha who brought them up and kept them in a success path. Her’s is claimed to be a Golden Leg and this sentiment is prevailing in the Telugu film industry for the past some time.

Though Siddhartha entered the film industry through ‘Boys’, it is ‘Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana’ which gained him the hero image and Trisha was the heroine.

Maheshbabu, who faced failures like ‘Nani’ and ‘Nijam’ bagged a blockbuster like ‘Athadu’ when he paired with Trisha.

Venkatesh, who suffered disasters with films like ‘Subhash Chandrabose’, roped in Trisha as heroine and the film ‘Aadavari Matalaku Ardhale Verule’ was a huge success.

Take the case of Prabhas. He entered the film industry through ‘Eswar’ and afterwards his film ‘Raghavendra’ was a disaster. After these two films, Trisha played the female lead in ‘Varsham’ opposite Prabhas and it was a huge success.

Now, Pawan Kalyan who tasted a sour pill with ‘Puli’ by wasting three valuable years in his career, is pairing up with Trisha for ‘Teenmaar’.

If the above sentiment really works, Pawan Kalyan is sure to grab the attention of the audiences once again and bag a big hit.

Let us wait and watch whether Trisha’s golden leg would help Pawan Kalyan too.

Katrina-Salman's item song in Joker is just speculation

Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif is reportedly not going to shake legs with her ex-beau Salman Khan in director Shirish Kunder's upcoming movieJoker, which features Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha in the leads. Sources close to the B-Town babe have turned down the reports about the duo's appearance in the film by saying that they are 'just speculation'.

Earlier, Salman Khan had danced with Katrina Kaif in the song 'Sheila Ki Jawani...' in Farah Khan's film Tees Maar Khan, which has become hit number. So it was reported that following the success of the item song, Shirish had planned to have an item number in his film Joker. He was even said to have got confirmation from Sallu and Kat, who are very close to his wife Farah.

As of the moment, Katrina isn't dancing with Salman to any number in Joker," the Times of India quotes a source close to Katrina sa saying.
