Another bombshell from Namitha’s family

Alert to all diehard Namitha fans, who hound her when she makes a public appearance, who wish to build a temple for her or those who never miss a film of hers! Her cousin, an equally sexy Radhika Malhotra, is all set to set foot into tinsel town, through the film ‘Raghavan’.

Directed by Paranthaman, the movie is about a young lad’s love for a girl who doesn’t understand him and falls for a baddie instead. How the girl, played by Radhika, gets to understand the hero and his love’s genuinity form’s the story’s crux.

This is the debut directorial venture of Paranthaman, who was an associate to Sevaraghavan, which is why the movie has been titled ‘Raghavan’. This is like how Gautham’s assistant Krishna, named his first hero’s character, Gautham. Suriya played this role in Krishna’s ‘Sillunu Oru Kadhal’.

Gangai Amaren makes a comeback as the music director for this film, produced by Selva Raj under the banner Akhina Productions. Vijith plays the lead role and Radhika plays his love. In fact, the actress had to do a scene in which she had to slap him and it seems she shocked him out of his wits by really slapping him on the sets.

Nayantara creates a controversy in temple

At a time when fans are ready to build Nayantara a temple of her, the actress has picked a fight on Vishu in Killikaavu Temple in Manicheri, Kerala.

Nayantara is currently working on ‘Bodyguard’ in Malayalam, and has been shooting for the film near Ottapalam in Kerala. On Vishu, deliberated as the Malayalam New Year, the actress has paid a visit to the temple.

Nayantara was refused entry into the temple as she was wearing a “Salwar Kameez”, as temple authorities said devotees were not allowed if they were wearing Salwars or pants. The actress reportedly shoved them aside and tried to enter the temple, when fans swarmed around her. On understanding the situation, they asked Nayantara to apologise to the temple authorities for disrespecting them. The actress, who was not willing to apologise, called the crew of ‘Bodyguard’.

But this attempt turned futile, as Nayantara was finally forced by the crew to apologise to temple authorities. This created a flutter in the temple as there was commotion for over an hour.

When contacted, Nayantara denied the entire affair and said the controversy arouse when people outside the temple, who were under the influence of alcohol, abused her.
