South Cinema divas are really making their presence felt in a big way in the glam world of Bollywood. After Asin and Genelia’s success in Hindi Cinema, now it’s talented and charming actress Padmapriya who would be making her debut in Bollywood with upcoming flick Striker.

The film was scheduled to hit the floors a long time ago but due to some unfortunate reasons it got delayed. But now it’s all set to start rolling soon. The actress would be seen portraying the character of a bar owner. Being acted in Tamil films like Boys and Aayutha Ezhuthu, Siddharth is playing the main lead. Chandan Arora is directing the movie.

Mahesh Bhatt likes to receive gifts from his nephew and favourite protégé Emraan Hashmi. Even on the young actor’s birthday.

Says Emraan, “On my 30th birthday on Tuesday I called Bhatt Saab to ask what he’s giving me. He turned around and made me gift him books. He makes me do that quite often. The only thing is, he doesn’t call it gifts. He calls it guru-dakshina. In fact after every hit film he takes a cheque from me . And every couple of months I give him money to buy books.”

For his birthday all Emraan got from Mahesh Bhatt was a long touching SMS. And a fractured finger.
