Assembly from temple town Tirupati.

'Tirupati is fixed. I may also contest from my native Narsapuram in West Godavari district if I decide to stand from a second constituency,' Chiranjeevi told reporters at Rajahmundry on Wednesday.

He said the PRP would release the list of its candidates in four to five days, ahead of the notification for elections.

'Our list will have a fresh look with many new faces to the extent possible. We will field maximum number of women while at least 100 candidates belonging to Backward Classes will also be given a chance,' Chiranjeevi said.

Reacting angrily to the allegations that his party was collecting Rs 2 crore from each aspirant to contest the elections, he said: 'Its rubbish. Some coverts planted by the Telugu Desam Party in the PRP are making such allegations. Now, such elements are out of PRP'.

Chiranjeevi reiterated that there was no question of PRP supporting the BJP at the national level. 'We will decide whom to support after the elections,' he added.

The PRP chief expressed hope that the EC would allot them a common symbol. 'Otherwise, we have our own plans,' he said. "

Nidhi Subbaiah goes for image makeover

Nidhi Subbaiah goes for image makeover: "Nidhi Subbaiah goes for image makeoverShe has done mostly glamorous roles so far and was in the news recently for lip-locking scenes in Telugu film 'Sweetheart'. But Nidhi Subbaiah says her fans will see her in a completely different avatar in director Mohan's forthcoming film 'Krishna Nee Late Aagi Baro'.

'I play a simple middle class girl in the film. I look glamorous only in one song. I promise you that this film will show my acting talents. I was happy to receive good suggestions from my co-stars - Ramesh Arvind and Mohan,' Nidhi told IANS.

Recently, the actress was criticised for doing bold scenes in 'Chamkaisi Chindi Udaisi'. But Nidhi, who watched the film in Mysore with her friends and relatives, says the criticism is baseless.

'The dances in the film were much discussed in the media, so I went to watch it with all my friends and relatives. They were gung ho after seeing the film.

'I don't know why people are discussing the songs. The censor board has not found anything objectionable in the songs. And I'm not the first actress to wear some revealing clothes,' said Nidhi.

'I agreed to wear the costumes because I was convinced by director Babu's argument while we were shooting the song 'Bejaanaagi premisu' in Bangkok. And the journos, who saw it in a special screening session, told me that I looked like a diva in the film. I take it as a compliment.'

Talking about her kissing scene in 'Sweetheart', which is a dubbed version of Tamil movie 'Kadalan Kadali', she said: 'I feature in one of the important roles in 'Kadalan Kadali'. The film is now dubbed in Telugu and will be released as 'Sweetheart'.

'I'm told that the publicists and producer of dubbed Telugu version are claiming that I have done lip-locking in the film. But I have not done any such thing. I had a very small part in the film, which ends in just 15 minutes. Though I wore some glamorous costumes in the film, I have to reiterate that I did not do any kissing scene.'
