“Jhummandi Naadam” which hit screens last week, is gathering an average talk at the Tollywood box office. Director Raghavendra Rao has filled the latest release with old ingredients and so the movie is not up to the mark of today’s generation expectations.

Actress Taapsee Pannu made her debut with the movie “Jhummandi Naadam” in Tollywood. This 1989 born actress, now aged 21, was seen on Red FM and butterfly grinder advertisements and soon attracted the attention of Telugu filmmakers.  Soon, she was roped into JN opposite to Manchu Manoj. Lakshmi Manchu was the producer of JN.

It is a fact that, Tollywood’s 2010 hit film VEDAM is being made in Tamil with actor Simbhu in the lead. Lakshmi Manchu and her younger step brother Manchu Manoj are determined to make Taapsee play the role of a prostitute in the Tamil remake. According to sources, the actress is being recommended by Lakshmi Manchu on a high scale in Kollywood as she wants Taapsee, to play the prostitute role at any cost. In the Telugu version, Anushka played the role of a prostitute. On the other hand, Taapsee wants to play the role of Lekha Washington as she says that she cannot do a ultra glamorous role.

Taapsee was injured in the shooting of her one of the upcoming movie with actor Vishnu. The actress was hit by a cricket ball on her face and is said to be under doctor’s supervision. However, the doctors have ruled out any possibility of serious injury.
