Hot beauty Huma Qureshi speaking to scribes, supported special songs. She said &ldquo;Earlier, it was more about the male gaze. It was about the objectification of women in a certain way. And today it\'s more about celebrating the female form. \"And I think therein lies the difference,&rdquo;\r\nShe continued &ldquo;There is no shame in a woman being glamorous or beautiful or sensual and expressing that. \"But I think that lensing is very important,&rdquo;\r\nShe shared&nbsp; &ldquo;The choice of people I work with - they\'re all amazing and really good at what they do. And I think the idea was not to have a song that would go viral. Yes, we want to make a popular song. Yes, we want to make a hit song and a massy song, but it\'s also classy,\"\r\nTalking about the song she would like to recreate, she said \"I would like to recreate \'Chalte Chalte\' from \'Pakeezah\'. I don\'t think I\'ll ever be able to do as good a job as that one, but I would love to do it

\r\nWar 2, one of the most hyped films of Indian cinema this year, is set to make a big impact in the Telugu states. Producer Naga Vamsi is all set to acquire the Telugu states rights for the film, starring Hrithik Roshan and NTR as the leads. Naga Vamsi\'s production house is one of the biggest in Tollywood, and it also distributes other films by acquiring total Telugu states\' rights.\r\nNaga Vamsi has previously acquired the rights for NTR\'s Devara, which was a blockbuster hit. Now, he is said to have quoted 80 Cr for the Telugu states\' rights to War 2, while the makers quoted price stands at 100 Cr. According to industry buzz, it is likely to close with Naga Vamsi with a price in between 80 and 90 Cr. This deal would be beneficial for both parties, as War 2 needs a big distributor in Telugu states to compete with Rajini\'s Coolie.\r\nNaga Vamsi\'s acquisition of War 2 Telugu states rights would be a strategic move, given his experience in handling big releases. His production house has a strong track record of distributing successful films, and he is well-equipped to handle the competition from Rajini\'s Coolie. Although Naga Vamsi had earlier clarified that the reports about him buying the rights are not true, industry insiders suggest that the deal is likely to happen.\r\nThe film\'s producers would benefit from Naga Vamsi\'s distribution network, which would ensure a wide release for War 2. With Hrithik Roshan and NTR as the leads, War 2 is expected to generate significant buzz at the box office. Naga Vamsi\'s involvement would be a significant boost to the film\'s prospects in Telugu States.\r\n

Dhanush-Sekhar Kammula\'s Kuberaa opened up to positive talk right from the first show.\r\nHowever while the collections in Telugu states is picking up slowly and steadily as people started going to the theatres to watch the crime drama on the big screen thanks to the word of mouth and good reviews, the situation is not so rosy in Tamil Nadu.\r\nThough the reviews are good and critics are heaping praises on the film, Tamil Tambis are not showing interest in the film. This is surprising all as Dhanush is the top star in Kollywood. Some feel, Sekhar Kammula is an unknown entity in Tamil but that is not an excuse.\r\nSome say, Tamil Tambis are treated to such films for long and are used to see Dhanush in such roles earlier and this offered nothing new for them. To the top of it, the missing logics in the film and convenient screenplay, abrupt ending, not dwelling deep into the financial fraud and bringing it into a logical conclusion might have impacted the film\'s perfomance in Tamil Nadu.&nbsp;
