Another filmstar is now in the race for the council seat. It is none other than yesteryear Tollywood star Nagma. Nagma has acted in many hit telugu films. The actor of lately has not found any wok in Tollyood
However, the actor is reportedly lobbying for a seat in the legislative council thru the reserved quota for artists. When some of the bigwigs have expressed their interest in being nominated for the council, Nagma has a feeble chance of being nominated. Anyway, best of luck to Nagma!.
2007/12/13 5:06:05 Nagma is one of the senior most actresses in the industry. She was at one time the top heroine in Tollywood. She ha acted in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and even Bhojpuri films. She has also been romantically linked worth some film personalities as well as cricketer Sourav Ganguly. But her acting career has more or less come to an end.
So she is now toying with the idea of entering politics. Nagma is keen to join the congress party. She wants to serve the party in Tamil Nadu. Nagma is now busy meeting congress leader in Delhi and Chennai. Tamil Nadu is well known for actors in politics. The list is long and many actors have even launched their own political parties. If nothing else, Nagma will surely infuse a dose of colour into political scene in Tamil Nadu.
The buxom Nagma has made several comebacks in film albeit with mixed success. She was a rage in Tollywood before she moved to Kollywood, Bolywod and then to Bhojpuri.
She is now almost in retirement. While he younger sister Jyothika is happily married with a kid, Nagama has so far not entered into matrimony. She did have a fling or two but they did not lead to the altar.
Nagma tried to commit suicides some time back following depression. She survived and later took to reading the Bible to calm herself up. She has now recovered fully and is now a firm believer in Christianity.
Evertyone were surprised recently when Nagma smoke at a function. She interspersed her speech with many teachings from the Bible. It is now being said that Nagma may soon convert into Christianity.
Nagma is making news of the other kind in the last few years. The star who at one time ruled Tollywood is now desperately seeking roles. She has been linked with several men all along. She has been romantically liked with Sharath Kumar, Sourav Ganguly, Bhojpuri superstar Ravi … and the list goes on.
Nagma has been out of action for a while. She has no movies in her hand either in Bollywood or Tollywood. However she continues to be in the limelight.
The other day there was news that Nagma was in the race for MLC through the nominated quota. Now she is in the news for entirely another reason.
She has lodged a complaint with the Mumbai police that she was getting obscene calls and lewd SMS messages. Now who would send such messages to a fading artist? Is this a desperate attempt by her to stay in the limelight?
Nagma, the yesteryear glamour doll of the south turned busy actress in Bhojpuri films has admitted that she is waiting for a suitable person to share her life!The actress, who has been associated in the past with big names like Sarath Kumar, Prabhu Deva and cricket star Sourav Ganguly is now leading a lonely life in Mumbai. Despite her film commitments, she feels that her life is empty without a male companion.In her recent interview to a popular Tamil Magazine,
she said that she was in search of a true lover, a person with a long lasting relationship.Nagma further said in that interview: "I searched for true love in many persons who came across my life. But unfortunately, I have not been blessed enough to have the man of my dreams. Now I'm living alone in this forbidding city without any family commitments and sentiments!"
Nagma also said that she would like to be married like her sister Jyothika and have a family life. "I committed the mistake of having casual flings with many men during my acting career. But it is too late to confess about the past happenings. But still I have a little hope..." says Nagma.
Nagma like Rambha has a special place in the hearts of the audience in Tollywood. Nagma and Ramba rued the roost in Tollywood for a long time. After acting with all the top heroes in Telugu, they both moved to Bollywood and then to Bhojpuri films. In between, they also acted in some Tamil films.
Rambha has been trying to make a comeback to Tollywood for quite some time. But so far, she has only succeeded to bag some item numbers. Her item song with Jr. NTR in Yamadonga was a big hit. Now, the voluptuous Nagma is coming back to Telugu with an item song. She has been approached by a producer to do the item song in a film to be stared by a young hero. More detail about the film will be announced shortly.
After a long hiatus, Nagma will once again enthrall the audience. This time not in a full length role though, but in an item number.
She will do the cameo role in A Murgodoss’s forthcoming film ‘Dada’. The film will star Ajit and Laila in the lead roles. Famous Malayalam actor Suresh Gopi will be seen in a prominent role in the film. Super Subbarayan has done some memorable action scenes. The film is an action thriller.
Vedika has a uncanny resemblance to Nagma and is therefore popularly called Jr. Nagma. She made her debut twp years ago with a bilingual film 'Sivakasi' is Tamil and Telugu with Arjun in the lead. The film failed miserably and she was out of action for a while.
Lawrence cast her in Muni and from them on her career has picked up. She is now getting busy with offers pouring in. She is currently action with Kalyan Ram in the film Vijayadasami. She is also reportedly in contention for the heroine role in Bommarillu Bhaskar's new film with Allu Arjun. She is also playing opposite Simbu in a Tamil film.

2006/11/28 3:54:27 There has been large scale registration of films for dubbing with the AP State Film Producers Council as the latter imposed a ban on them from November 13. By the deadline date, a total of 113 films were registered thus defeating the very purpose of the ban. Even if the council is very particular to impose the ban, it will take at least two years as the films, numbering around 120, that were already registered with it will have to be released.
At the same time, some producers were ready to defy the ban and were ready to face the consequences by releasing the dubbing films. One producer reportedly claimed, 'I know that the council will not allow me to utilise the concession on advertisements and other things. But I have no fears and am ready to go ahead.'
While 96 straight films were released during this year, about 78 dubbed films were also released simultaneously. During the corresponding period last year, the gap is very big. Of the 130 straight Telugu films, there were only 65 dubbed films.
Though it remained just 50 per cent, the council took a hard decision to ban the dubbed films, claiming that the straight films and low budget films are not getting theatres to screen their film because the dubbed films are occupying them.
Near about 40 films which were in different stages of film production have come to a grinding halt with the strike started by employees of film federation from Friday onwards. They are demanding a 100% wage revision for which the producer’s council is not agreeing. The representatives of the employees unions has told the media that, while the producers have find no difficulty in paying crores of rupees as remuneration to the actors, then why are they hesitating to take a load of few extra lacks for paying the employees who labors round the clock. He said they will continue the strike till the producer’s council agrees to their demands.
