Puppy love for the sons
Vijaykanth’s sons are celebrating their kennels’ milestone litter with their favourite dog delivering what’s being called the ‘world’s best husky puppies’, we hear.The breeders in town are all vying for those puppies, which they say, can fetch more than a few lakhs per puppy.

Who’s he dating?
City slickers who frequent cafes and plush hotels say Atharvaa is keen on a lady lass who is from a big industrialist family. The actor is known to have beautiful female friends and has never openly admitted to dating anyone. But sources close to him, and those who he works out with, reveal that he is serious about this girl, who has taught him to enjoy quiet walks on the beach and the power of a coffee date!

All eyes on Amitash
Actor Amitash is quite the stud of the season — and not in just the typical terms. He’s the man about town with a release that’s meant to send love waves across the city. This has had everyone scrambling to be on his Insta story and looking to catch his eye. But the man that he’s come to be has eyes only on one thing — yes, that’s right — his career and family!

All the fuss over a man!
At the recent birthday bash of a socialite, the conversation revolved around a wedding set to happen in the north Indian circles. During one of the chatting sessions, a guest is said to have snapped, “I’m not going to wear any fake jewellery.” This was prompted by a comment made by another socialite on her preparations for the wedding, and her semi-precious jewellery as it’s a destination wedding. It seems the ladies are secretly warring over one man who happens to be married to an outstation beauty pageant queen.
Friends become work mates
Unlike the usual producer-actor relationships, Kaithi’s producer, SR Prabhu, is a man who values relationships. His friendship with actor Karthi is a private one, but sources say that the two often make time to catch up on good cinema and coffee. Spotted at a function recently, Prabhu was even heard talking to someone about how professional Karthi is and that’s the reason why he likes him as a person.
