Sonu Nigam is a well-known singer not just in Mumbai but in Hyderabad as well.

Telugu lo Hitch
The Hindi film Partner that released today is loosely based on the the English film Hitch and Home Alone.

Madhu Jalli, 31. A sculptor student living in San Francisco, no longer heeding the uplifting call of art, but earning his living by hard work whenever it is obtainable.

Trivikram Srinivas might do a film with Siddharth after Pawan Kalyan’s film. Industry sources reveal Trivikram might produce it this time round.
