After the high profile Ajit-Shalini and Dhanush-Aishwarya weddings, the marriage of actors Surya and Jyothika on September 11 is the most talked about in the Tamil film industry.

Citing security reasons, the plan to have a grand reception has been cancelled, and the venue has been shifted to a hotel. The wedding will be solemnised between 6 and 7 am and, soon after that, there will be a reception for VIPs including the present and former chief ministers of Tamil Nadu. Other restrictions include only two guests per invitation and no gifts or flowers to the newlyweds.

Hansika: The latest find

Hansika MotwaniIt isn't a new thing to see girls from Mumbai and Delhi entering the Telugu film industry. But the number of them is slowly increasing, with new heroines being signed by Telugu directors.

The latest entrant is Hansika Motwani.

Puri Jagannath, fresh from the success of Pokiri (which catapulted Ileana to the slot of hottest Telugu heroine), has taken on Hansika as his latest heroine for Desa Muduru, starring Allu Arjun. Hansika is also paired with Mimoh (Mithun Chakraborty's son) in the Hindi film He: The Only One.

Those hooked to television may remember Hansika as the cute Anu of Des Mein Nikla Hoga Chand and the bubbly Bhavri of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. She also acted in Shakalaka Boom Boom, Zameen Se Aasman Tak and Tum Bin, and films like Jaago, Abra Ka Dabra and Koi... Mil Gaya, besides doing ads like Santro (with Shah Rukh Khan), Ujala, Samsung, Onida AC and Bournvita.

Hansika will be on alien territory as far as language goes though. Whether she will be seen as a glam doll or actor of substance in Desa Muduru and He remains to be seen.
