Trisha to do a cameo in ‘Vellithirai’

The leading South Indian actress, Trisha, usually does not likes to appear for one song or doing a cameo role in a film. But the actress has accepted to do so in the film ‘Vellithirai’. She does this role for the sake of her friendship with Prakash Raj. She acts her real self in the film, in which she appears as Trisha, whom the hero Prithviraj, who plays the role of a director in the film, meets to narrate a story. However Trisha fears that others would ask her to do a cameo in their films. Trisha has a dream role, which she loves to do that role rather than the cameo. The actress said that she wants to do a role like the one done by Ramya Krishnan in the film ‘Padayappa’ opposite the Superstar Rajinikanth.

Trisha without make-up!

Trisha has recently acted in the film titled ‘Abhiyum Naanum’ with Prakash Raj. The highlight of the film is that Trisha had no make-up in the film. The actress seems to be tired of playing the same old girl characters. Trisha says that she is looking for the characters that are similar to the one she has played for Prakash Raj. Trisha says that she loves Simran’s character in ‘Amrutha’ and would like to play such kind of a character.

Trisha's resolutions

The climax of the film 'Bheema' in which Trisha is portrayed as getting gunned down by a gangster has left Trisha's friends shedding tears. Trisha's defense, that even the hero Vikram acted as dying in the film, has no takers among her friends. Trisha's friends have ordered her affectionately not to act in the films where she is pictured as losing her life. The actress seems to have accepted her friends demand. She has also taken some resolutions like 'A strict no to appear for a single dance in a film', 'Not to pair with newcomers' and 'Not to sign up projects of new producers'. The sources say that all these resolutions are planned to maintain her hard earned fame and status. But Trisha will appear for a single dance in Superstar Rajinikanth's 'Kuselan'. When asked about that the actress says that it is a royal exception.

Trisha to star again with Madhavan

Trisha and Madhavan have already worked together for a movie in the Tamil movie industry and they will be seen together for another movie titled Nee Indri. The lead roles in the movie will be done by Trisha and Madhavan and the movie is going to be directed by Prathap Pothen who is a very well known director in the industry. He was not seen in the movies for a long time but he is now going to direct a movie. Trisha and Madhavan starrer movie was a romantic entertainer and the concept of this movie is not yet revealed. There are lots of expectations as movies directed by Prathap Pothen have always been different and contained a different concept that other directors dare to deal with.

Director's complaint against Dhanush's father

Director G.Bupathi Pandiyan has complained against N.Kasturiraja for having sold his story without his knowledge.Beyond professional relationship, Dhanush and Bhupati Pandiyan are good friends. The film 'Thiruvilayadal arambam' was the result of that friendship. That film was a hit.

For transferring the rights of a film in another language, 40% of the proceeds should be given to the producer and director.

But there has been no agreement for 'Thiruvilayadal arambam'. Therefore the producer of the film Kasturiraja has sold the re-make rights in Talugu and pocketed Rs.60 lakhs. Like wise, Rs.10 lakhs for Kannada.On learning this Bhupatiraja got a shock. After all, it was his hard work. So, he has approached the Producers' Council to collect his share of the proceeds.

Thus begins yet another song and dance!

Change of music director in Simbu's film

One would wonder if there were no hassles in Simbu's film.Simbu is acting in 'Silambattam' directed by cinematographer Sarvanan. Shahnakhan is the heroine and music by Dina.

'Kalai' became a flop. 'Kettavan' is dropped. With all these, Simbu is quite serious about 'Silambattam'. He has taken a vow not to give interviews and participate in public functions till the completion of 'Silambattam'.

When the entire Kollywood is wonderstruck at the change in Simbu, an event took place in 'Silambattam' that has belied all that.Suddenly Dina has been replaced by Yuvan Sankar Raja. Yuvan has been composing music for all Simbu's films. Even in 'Silambattam', Dina has been replaced only at the instance of Simbu. Simbu also accepts that.

Truth will come when Dina opens his mouth!

Dasavatharam' function postponed

The song release function was to have been held on March 14th. Suddenly they have postponed it to April 2nd.The IPL Twenty 20 cricket matches start in the month of April. Producers are therefore hesitant to release new films in the month. There is a doubt that the release of 'Dasavatharam' may also be postponed.

To make our doubts come true, the song release function is now postponed to April 2nd. Audiences are, therefore, worried if the film will be released during the second week of April.Participating at the function to be held at Nehru indoor auditorium on April 2nd are Jackie Chan and several film celebrities from Hindi, Malayalam and Telugu cinema. Producer Oscar Ravichandran is putting up a decoration at the venue like that of Hollywood film functions.

This decoration alone is costing around Rs.80 lakhs!

Participating in this, Vijay gave away 10 computers to government schools, beds for patients in hospitals and sewing machines for poor women.Fans arrived from Erode and nearby areas by the droves to see Vijay. At one point, they jumped the barricades and attempted to go near the stage. For some time, there was jostling among the crowd.

Police had to resort to lathi charge and dispersed the crowd. Due to this, Vijay had to leave the stage immediately.

Tension given by the daughter to Kamal

Kamal has stated that he was disturbed by Sruthi's decision.

Kamal has stated that he was disturbed when Sruthi wanted to act. But the way she went about choosing the story has calmed him.

Given the right story, Kamal wants to act along with Sruthi. It would be better if it were a father-daughter story.Kamal has assured that his next film would be 'Marmayogi'. But its launch would take some time.

Discussions are taking place with Hollywood's Walt Disney pictures for producing this film.

Nayantara, the heroine in 'Ekan'

Fans who have been worried sick over who would be Ajith's pair in 'Ekan' has got their answer.
'Ekan' is produced jointly by Karunamurthy and Arun Pandiyan on behalf of Iyengaran International Films. The film with a totally different kind of story is directed by Raju Sundaram who is also in charge of story and screenplay.

As everything for the film including the story is complete, one question that was not decided was the heroine.

Best Director award for Amir Khan

Filmfare Award is considered next only to national awards.
In the Filmfare awards announced for the last year, Kshimit Amin's 'Chak De India' won the best film award and Shah Rukh Khan, the best actor. This film also bagged the best cinematography award.

'Taare zamin par' directed by Amir Khan got the awards for the best director, best story and best child artist.

Rishi Kapoor was given the lifetime achievement award.

Bull fight scene in 'Kandasamy'

Because of unstable political situation in Kenya, director Susi Ganesan moved his shooting to Mexico.
He had gained from the move as he is to direct an Indo-Mexican film in Spanish.
Mexico is famous for bull fights. Losing limb and life is common in this sport. Shooting in Mexico, Susi Ganesan has shot a bull fight for 'Kandasamy.'
Vikram took special training for this. As far as cinema as concerned, Vikram will fight with not only a bull, but with an elephant too.
Keeping Kenya in mind, Susi Ganesan evolved the story of 'Kandasamy.' There are no bull fights there. Since the location has shifted, the bull fight was integrated into the script. With change of location, there is a change in story too.
If so, what's the original story of 'Kandasamy'? No one knows that!

Robot Shooting Started

Feb 15 a shoot of Rajinikanth- Shankar big budget magnum opus Robot started in Chennai’s AVM A/C Floor with no fanfare or any publicity. It was the first photo shoot for the film by famous Chennai fashion and portfolio photographer G.Venket Ram exclusively focused on superstar Rajinikanth. Remember Rajini did his first ever photo-shoot with Venkat for Sivaji.
The Robot shoot was a hush –hush affair, as Rajinikanth arrived on dot of time in his Chevorlet Tavera, Shankar drove down in his new black BMW car with the trademark registration number 8 and producer Karunamoorthy of Ayngaran International came in his Honda-CRV.
Cameraman Venket Ram had set up his camera and other equipments early in the morning itself. Nearly a dozen wigs were flown in from US by hair dresser Bhanu to be tried out on the superstar who shot in various blazers. The look of Robot is one of the most important aspects of the film.
Shankar and his young team have also roped in an international consultant to give a new look to Rajinikanth as Robot. The final look will emerge after matching the photo shoot pictures with a computer generated look, which will take about a month.
Now that Aishwarya Rai has denied the rumours of her exit from the film as rubbish, the rest of the casting of the film is going on. Three top characters from Tamil have confirmed that they are willing to shoot for the film as and when Shankar wants.
Meanwhile Nirav Shah has decided to quit the project, due to personal reasons. So now, noted cameraman Thiru has been roped into the project.

Action King Plays a Villan Role

We'll never know for sure who's on and who isn't until Shankar decides to make a statement about the cast for his magnum opus Robot!
What we know for sure is that Rajinikanth will play the lead. But who will fit in the heroine's shoes remains to be seen. Even the villain's role and the other supporting characters have not been decided. The longer the silence, the stronger and stranger the assumptions!
The latest to join the winding list of Robot rumour is king of action Arjun, who apparently has been roped in for a pivotal role in the movie.
Will Arjun sport an anti-hero guise? His earlier ventures with Shankar were massive hits. Let's wait and watch

Anjathey Movie Review

Cast : Narain, Prasanna, Vijayalakshmi, Pandiyarajan, Ajmal, Ponvannan, M S Baskar and others
Director / Script : Mysskin
Camera : - Music director : Sundar C Babu
Producer : V. Hitesh Jhabak

Mysskin has delivered another knock-out punch with his Anjathey. The canvass is engaging and thrilling as he is able to bring out the moods, anxieties and sheer dread of the characters due to top of the line performances from his lead actors.
Here is superior quality Tamil cinema as Mysskin's intricately crafted script and the slick execution of every sequences, make the film a treat to watch. The film avoids clichés and smashes stereotypes as it makes its journey from opening credits to the end. But a nail-biting thriller for over three hours… is way too lengthy.The story opens in a police housing colony where Satyavan (Narain) and Kripa Shankar (Ajmal Ameer) both sons of police head constables (M.S.Bhaskar and Livingston) are childhood friends. They are thick friends but totally different in principles and attitude towards life. Satyavan is a happy-go-lucky irresponsible guy who spends time drinking, loitering with friends and getting into petty fights. Kripa on the other hand is serious, soft-spoken and has a big dream to join the police force through hard work and discipline. He is encouraged by his sister Uttara (Vijayalakshmi), who feels that Satya is the only bad influence in his life, as comparisons are made between the two by the residents of the colony.One day Satya is badly humiliated by his dad for spoiling a festival day in the colony when he gets into a fight with Daya (Prasanna) a sinister guy who is running a kidnapping racket with a small time mechanic and mobster Logu (Pandirajan). Satya after this ego deflating act from his dad decides to join the force by using the clout of his uncle, a personal assistant of a powerful minister. Both Kripa and Satya appear for the police Sub-Inspectors (SI) examination, and using his clout Satya is selected while Kripa fails. This triggers the motive and twist in the tale as inevitably Kripa drifts away from his best friend and turns out to be his most bitter foe.Meanwhile after joining the force, there is a gradual transformation in Satya who becomes more human, righteous and duty conscious in his approach to life. He fights the system from within, and soon Uttara secretly starts admiring him as he becomes her role model which irks Kripa. At the same time Daya the cunning psychopath holds the police force to ransom as he kidnaps young girls from rich families for money and also rapes them so that they will remain silent.The police top brass set up an encounter cell under a cop (Ponvannan) to hunt down the kidnappers, and Satya is also drafted into the team. Daya who is now on the run recruits Kripa knowing that he is on a revenge romp whose only aim is to see the fall of his friend. Now it is a cat-and-mouse game between Satya and Daya who uses Kripa as a pawn, leading to a stunning nail biting climax on the outskirts of the city in a sugar cane field.The biggest strength of Anjathey is its perfect casting, as every actor is just right for the role and you couldn’t find better actors to fill out these roles. Mysskin introduces new guys like a one- armed guy called Kuruvi (played by a former stuntman Bomb Ramesh, who lost an arm while shooting an explosion scene for a film) a go-between Satya and Kripa, he is terrific. Prasanna is a revelation as the deadly, charismatic but ruthless and terrifying psychopathic rapist Daya (the weird wig is a minus), Pandirajan without his moustache as the humorous accomplice of Daya is a scream and provides some funny moments. And Ajmal makes a promising debut; he’s clearly an actor to look out for.Vijayalakshmi is here to stay as the sweet and lovable girl next door. Ponvannan, M.S Bhaskar and Livingstone are all aptly cast in supporting roles. Narain is astonishingly agile and lives the role of Satyavan. His drunken act and subtle comedy in the first half, the anguish, frustration and guilt giving way to tears in the second half bring out the actor in him. It is Narain’s show from the first frame to the last, a performance that will remain in your hearts to remember and savor.Technically, the film is top class and exquisitely photographed by Mahesh Muthusamy, using a lot of top angle crane shots with the climax in the sugar cane field being picture perfect. Sunder.C.Babu’s music is peppy especially the first song in the bar Kannadasan … and the title song. To give credit where it’s due, director Mysskin delivers on both style and content and he has not shown any excessive blood and gore scenes in a story of police encounters, rapes, kidnapping and other nefarious activities.If there’s one problem with the film is it’s too long, at 3 hours 10 minutes and as a result, at times taxes the viewers patience especially the long drawn out climax, scenes in the first half to establish the hero being reformed and sentiments injected into the plot. Moreover, it has very few commercial elements and is a bit classy.Despite these minor hiccups, Anjathey is unmissable. It is a sparkling, fresh and innovative film from Mysskin, makes for recommended viewing.

Mayajaal gets a new Look

Mayajaal, one of Chennai’s biggest multiplexes just got bigger. The multiplex will now house four more theatres thus increasing its strength to ten theatres. Located on the East Coast Road, in Kanathur, Mayajaal is also the abode of one of Chennai’s first snow bowling alley and a shopping mall.
The theatres have a seating capacity of 150 and Mayajaal can now hold 7,500 fans in any given day in all the ten theatres. In an event held this evening at 6.30 at the Mayajaal premises, Vikram formally inaugurated the six theatres and a food court recently accommodated in the complex that houses multi-cuisine eateries and outlets. Touted to be one of the biggest in Asia, Mayajaal now also boasts of housing the maximum number of theatres in the city.

Shankar's 'Irettai Suzhi'

In the countryside, the lucky ones are described a shaving 'irettai suzhi.
In that sense, Shankar must also be having irettai sushi, because even the films he produces fare well.
Shankar is at present producing 'Arai Enn 305-il Kadavul' following which he is producing a film to be directed by 'Poi' dialogue writer Thamira. This film is titled
'Irettai Suzhi.'
Thamira's first directorial venture is made with children in mind. Such films are rare, and one could well even say that there are no such films for children in Tamil.
Since it is a children film and also being produced by Shankar's S Pictures, there is a great deal of expectation.

Ajith’s Aegan takes a cue

If you thought the fully loaded weapon van used in Billa is cool, don’t be surprised when we reveal its secret. The entire van has been created using plain mineral water bottles and PVC pipes, the creative brain behind it being art director Milan. He has been receiving accolades from all quarters, let alone from Ajith and the entire crew for making the indoors of Billa look realistically Malaysia. Billa’s outdoor shoots have been canned in the exotic locales of Malaysia, as is known, however, the trendy and plush looking indoors on par with the Malaysian standards were created by Milan in Chennai.
Close on the heels of these impressive credentials, Milan has also managed to bag the contract for art direction for Ajith’s next, Aegan. Directed by Raju Sundaram, the movie is progressing at a supersonic pace.
Milan is an alumnus of the Loyola College Visual Communication Department and was junior to director Vishnu Vardhan during the good old college days. He apprenticed with ace art director Sabu Cyril before taking off on his own.

Ajith or Vikram - Who is the right choice?

After the success of Billa, attempts to remake old hits have become the latest fad in the industry. Discussions are on at various levels to choose the right film which will have a contemporary feel and Kadiresan, producer of Polladavan has obtained the remake rights of super star’s Moondru Mugam which was a blockbuster hit during those times. Now he is in the process of choosing the correct hero for the new venture and is considering Ajith and Vikram.

Currently Kadiresan is producing a film with Dhanush and Vetrimaran and after this venture gets completed, the project of Moondru Mugam will commence if he gets the call sheet of any one of these actors. At this juncture it is interesting to note that Cheeyan had once replied that he would be interested to act in Moondru Mugam if it were to be remade. Perhaps after he completes Kanthaswamy, he may consider this offer. Meanwhile Ajith is also busy in Aegan and fans should wait for a while to know which of their favorite actors will feature in this remake.

Remake"Agni Natchathiram "

Tamil film industry has always witnessed the presence of two powerful actors at various points of time where there would be a dichotomy of their fan base. Initially it was Sivaji and M.G.R followed by Kamal and Rajini, Ajith and Vijay and many such pairs. Though the actors in question have been sharing a perfect bonhomie, it is the fans whose adrenaline levels are always pumped up.In the recent times, it is the actor’s duo of Simbu and Dhanush who have attracted widespread attention related to their off-screen chemistry. They are considered to be two poles from opposite directions and their minute body language in each other’s presence has been blown put of proportion.

Now it has been reported that Prabhu Deva is attempting seriously to bring this couple together for a film which is titled Agni Natchathiram to be produced by Gnanam films. But for the similarity in title with the Mani Rathnam’s film of the same name, the movie bears no resemblance with the original. It has been buzzed in the known circles that Prabhu Deva has 3-4 scripts with the right mix of comedy and action based themes. It may be a serious one like Nerukku Ner or a comedy caper like Guru-Sishyan.

Prabhu Deva had reportedly talked to Simbu who has given the green signal indicating that he and Dhanush have always remained friends and he is open to the idea of sharing screen presence with him. However Prabhu Deva is yet to approach Dhanush on this and in the event of this film getting materialized, it will only be after the dancer/director completes Hindi Pokkiri and a Vijay film.

Child later, 'Robot' important now – Aish

Aishwarya Rai says he has no idea of having a child now.Every time a Rajini film is finalized, without fail, Aishwarya Rai would be approached. She would invariably turn down the offer as she would have no free call sheet. Now that drama has finally come to a close with her accepting to do 'Robot.'

There was a sudden rumour from Mumbai that Aishwarya had backed out of 'Robot' as she was planning to enter motherhood.

In her interview, she refuted the rumour saying the story of 'Robot' was good, she had an important role in it and at present, she had no intention of planning for a baby.

The 'Robot' heroine put an end to gossip with her interview.

Kuchelan' in Hindi

Director Priyadarshan is a smart man.At one time, he re-made his Malayalam films into Hindi and in a short span, made a lot of money.

When P Vasu made 'Chandramukhi' based on 'Manichitrathaazh,' he successfully made its Hindi version with Akshay Kumar.


Now P Vasu is making 'Kadhaparayumbol' into the Tamil 'Kuchelan' with Rajini in the lead. At the same time, Priyadarshan is making it in Hindi.

Shahrukh Khan has agreed to do the superstar's role in Hindi. Priyadarshan is busy appointing the rest of the cast and will start shooting soon for the film.

Trisha in ‘Jab we met’

Jab we met’ starring Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor was a great hit last year in Bollywood. The film was talked about for its freshness in narration and for the performance of its lead actors. In fact heroine Kareena had bagged many awards for the film. Now this movie will be made in Tamil and Telugu and the remake rights have been purchased by Moser Baer. As ‘Jab we met’ will be made in both these languages, the producers wanted their heroine to be popular in both the languages and they have zeroed in on Trisha

It has been said that Trisha is also very keen to do this film and when contacted she said, “I saw Jab we met and I liked the film a lot. The role of the heroine in this film is on par with the hero. The first half of the film is a hard core comedy while the second half is laden with emotion and sentiment. I am fortunate to get such a character early in my career.” When questioned about her other projects Trisha said that she is doing Radha Mohan’s Abhiyum Naanum and Dharani’s Kuruvi right now. For the role of hero in Jab we met remake, Dhanush has been approached but confirmation is yet to come.

Pyramid Saimira in trouble

Apart from buying distribution rights of films like 'Azhagiya Thamizhmagan' and 'Vel,' Pyramid Saimira is also into film production.
The company has taken more than 100 theatres on lease in Tamilnadu. According to information received, Pyramid Natarajan wants to opt out of the company, ostensibly because of some troubled financial dealings.

One of the measures to be undertaken by Pyramid Saimira was to help out needy producers with grants. Because of the latest developments, there are rumours that this project could be dropped.It's said the company name could be also changed to just Saimira.

We are not lovers, says Nayantara

Poor Nayantara. Looks like controversies like this Malayalee belle. First it was the pictures of her with her ex-beau Simbu doing the rounds on the Net. Then of course, it was the bikini scene in 'Billa'.

Now, the hottest rumours in the Tamil film industry are about her alleged relationship with her co-star Vishal. But this time, Nayantara decided not to keep quite for too long.

She has denied the affair and says it is a figment of imagination.

For now, the Vishal and Nayantara are shooting for 'Salute'.

Box office of this Week

It’s a battle of sorts at the box office between the mighty Bheema and the funny Azhagappan (Indiralogathil Na, if you insist). If that isn’t enough, director Siddique is back with a witty and intelligent movie that could pose a threat to the existing biggies at the box office.

Be that as it may, surf on to find out who took the honors this week.


Cast: Vikram, Trisha, Prakash Raj, Raguvaran
Direction: Linguswamy
Music: Harris Jayaraj
Production: A M Rathnam
Four weeks in the run, Vikram’s bad boy act couldn’t keep the box office sinking lower as weeks go by.

Trade Talk:
With a mammoth budget and plummeting collections in very little time, Bheema might not garner profit for the buyers.

Public Talk:
Glad that Vikram isn’t taking another extended sabbatical for a project.

No. Weeks Completed: 4
No. Shows in Chennai over this weekend: 99
Average Theatre Occupancy over this weekend: 60 %

Verdict: Average

Cast: Vadivelu, Suja, Theetha, Rari, Nazar, Shriya
Direction: Thambi Ramiah
Music: Sabesh Murali
Production: Manickam Narayanan
It is amusing to watch Vadivelu’s dim-witted antics on screen, but are we ready yet to hear him deliver sermons on reforming society? That, and an obtuse script hasn’t helped either.

Trade Talk:
Although bashed by most critics, INA’s patronage among the public is not completely dreary with the movie registering more than half-full theatre occupancy in the week.

Public Talk:
Nothing to rave about, but not a let down either.

No. Weeks Completed: 1

Rajini's take on politics

Whatever Rajini does, he makes news.

He attended the wedding of his assistant's son in Andhra after which he spoke to the press.

For questions fired at him about his new films, spirituality and politics, he answered in his usual style of careful neither here nor there answers.

He said that he was acting in 2 films and that would definitely take a couple of years to complete, so he would not get into politics for the 2 years! What after 2 years? It's all in god's hands!


After 'Robot' is completed, Rajini plans to make a spiritual film like 'Baba.' It would have he sadhus in Himalayasas the central characters, said Rajini.

Would he support Chiranjeevi if he started a political party? "I have not decided anything on that as yet," responded Rajini.

Films with "U" certificate

The Censor Board has given 'U' certificate to 2 films that were expected to get 'A' certificates.


Most of the recent action films have received only 'A' certificate, but Mysskin's 'Anjadhey' has got a 'U.' That's because though it's an action film, there is no violence in it.

KS Adhiyaman's 'Thoondil' has some hot love scenes between Shaam and Divya. There's also a scene where Divya gets all wet as she frolics in the seawater. So it was expected to get an 'A' certificate. Contrary to expectations, the film got a 'U' certificate.
Naren, vijaya lakshmi

'Anjadhey' is to be released on coming 15th and 'Thoondil' on 22nd.

When offers dwindled, Iman started composing music for television programs. Right now, he does not have too many offers on hand, so his parents have found him a suitable bride. Iman is now betrothed to Monica, the daughter of Richard and Rita from Chennai.

The betrothal took place on Feb 1 at Chennai. Monica has a BE degree. The wedding is to take place on April 24 at 7pm at St. John's Cathedral in Chennai.

Not all of films that Iman composed music for have been great hits. Our best wishes that his luck turns for the better after his marriage!

Dhanush Charges 3 Crores

The Telugu super hit Arya created a star out of Allu Arjun in the lead. The same is to be remade in Tamil with Dhanush in the lead role. This debut undertaking for Gemini Labs will be directed by Balasekharan, who has victorious movies like Love Today and Thulli Thirindha Kaalam to his name. Dhanush, who has hit a high following the huge critical and commercial success of his recent release Polladhavan, is currently awaiting the release of his forthcoming movie Yaradi Nee Mohini, a remake of the Telugu film Aadavari Matalaku Ardhale Verule, which was directed by his brother Selvaraghavan.

The actor has supposedly been signed up for a huge sum of 3 crores, which has catapulted him into the big league. The heroine is yet to be finalized. The original was a marketable potboiler with rib-tickling comedy, awesome action and rocking musical numbers. With a big league star, a fine filmmaker and a proven script at their disposal, it seems like Gemini Labs is going to have a dominant debut production.

Mallika to Kiss Simbu

Mallika to Kiss Simbu

Bollywood’s sex throb Mallika Sherawat, famous for her ‘dare to bare’ attitude, has set her eyes towards south, it seems. Recently her Telugu dubbed version of ‘Bach Ke Rehna Re’ is simply rocking Andhra Pradesh and she is all set to heat up Tamil screen too. A rumour is making the rounds that she is going to smooch with Tamil cinema’s young smooching king Simbu in a new film.

Mallika is now doing a role with Kamal Haasan in Dasavadharam. It is said that Simbu, the bold young actor, is roping her to his next film. He has planned a kissing scene with her. It is interesting to recall that Simbu’s lip lock with Nayan Tara in ‘Vallavan’ created a lot of sensation last year. The latest news is that the Mallika is said to have agreed to his lip kiss proposal.

Ajith will be King of Remakes Soon

Tamil superstar Ajith has slipped into the remake mode. Why not? The remake of the Rajnikanth starrer Billa featuring the handsome hero is a super hit.So, when the Sivaji films, enthused by the phenomenal success of ‘Billa’, offered him a role in another remake, Ajith accepted with both hands, say the reports emanating from Kollywood.

The latest remake in which he will play the male lead is the old classic ‘Puthiya Paravai’ with Sivaji Ganesan and Saroja Devi in the title roles. The grapevine has it that Ajith may also figure in the Tamil remake of the Hindi movie, Main Hoon Na which had Shah Rukh Khan playing the hero. The Kollywood buzz is that Bollywood beauty, Katrina Kaif will play Ajith’s love interest in the film. For all you know, Ajith may soon become the King of Remakes!

srinivasan about kuselan birth

In the first part of an exclusive interview, Sreenivasan spoke about how the film Kadha Parayumbol was born. In the second part, he speaks about how Rajnikanth [Images] reacted to the film.

Read on:

From the day Rajnikanth decided to act in the Tamil version of Kadha Parayumbol, the film has suddenly become a topic of discussion everywhere. How did Rajnikanth get interested in the film?

P Vasu (the director) saw the film and suggested Rajnikanth to watch it. That was how he saw the film.

I was in Mumbai at that time, and could arrive at the preview theatre only when the movie was about to end. The producer had told Rajnikanth that I would be there. When the film ended, I saw him step out of the theatre, his eyes filled with tears. He was looking for me. He was so emotional that he hugged me for a very long period. After a while, he said, 'you made me cry.'

He then took me to the conference room and started asking me questions. We knew each other when we were students at the film institute, but we were not very close friends. I didn't know then that Shivaji Rao Gaekwad would one day become Rajnikanth! (laughs).

Anyway, we were meeting after a long time now.

He asked me, 'Did you read a lot of books when you were young?'

I told him that I practically grew up in the village library. That day, he was more curious to know more about me than about the film itself. We parted after agreeing to meet the next day.

On the second day, he spoke to me about the subtle scenes in the film. It appeared now that he just wanted to talk about the film alone. I asked him how he followed the dialogues. He said, 'Malayalam is quite similar to Sanskrit, and I therefore understood all the dialogues very well.'

We then met a third time the following day. The first thing he told me was, 'all my friends tell me that I should do the film. But I signed up for Robot three days ago. What do you say if Kamal Haasan [Images] did this film?'

I told him, 'why should we discuss another actor?'

And then I said, 'Come to think of it, is this not the story of a Shivaji Rao?'

If you remember, that was the first question I asked you...

But when I wrote the story, I didn't think of Shivaji Rao. (laughs)

What was Rajnikanth's reply?

He said, 'theriyum, theriyum...' (I know, I know...) He thought for a while and said in a low voice, 'pannarathukum mudiyala.. vidarthakum mudiyala.. (I can't do it... but I can't bring myself to let it go either..)'

I asked him, 'Is it because you feel you will lose focus on the new film you are going to do?' He firmly denied that.

I then asked him about his next releases. He told me that his daughter's animation film would most probably be out in early 2009. And, Robot was to be released in 2010. At this point, I told him, 'you should shoot this film now and it should be released before you even start shooting for any of your other releases.' He didn't say anything in reply.

Later P Vasu told me how Rajnikanth mimicked me and reproduced all that I said verbatim (laughs). All of them had a hearty laugh watching him mimic me.

Do you feel Rajnikanth got emotional about the film and got interested in acting in it because it was almost like his own story?

That's possible. But he didn't tell me that. He is a man with a big heart. He has helped everybody who was with him at the Institute; not monetarily but by giving jobs in films. He values friendship a lot, and it is not for publicity's sake that he helps them.

Because of such an image, do you feel that the impact would be greater if he were to act in the Tamil remake?

Definitely. In his case, the story would feel more real. People know the kind of a person he is.

It was reported that P Vasu wanted a heroine for Rajnikanth, just as he had he changed the script for Chandramukhi. As the person who created the characters, do you approve of such changes?

It is true that such issues were discussed. I was also there when they discussed this. Rajnikanth said in front of me that he would not do anything that would destroy the soul of the film. He was dead against such changes.

There will be more footage for the character because Rajni is the super star. It's inevitable. But I think that can be achieved without destroying the soul of the film. I don't think they will do anything that will have a negative impact on the story and the film. That is what I understood from he said.

As the creator of the script, will you have any say in the alterations?

No, I will not. After the discussion, he gave me a call one day and asked, 'Are you happy with all that we discussed that day?' That question shows that he is concerned about how I feel as the creator. So, I am not very bothered about what they would do. I told him, "I do not know the pulse of the Tamil audience; I make films for the people of Kerala [Images]. So, you do what they want you to. I am not worried. I am happy with the way the people of Kerala have accepted my film. That you are acting in this film is a bonus!'

Now, your film is going to be remade in Hindi as well. Who is likely to play the superstar in that?

Most probably it is going to be Shah Rukh Khan [Images]. Priyan has finished the preliminary discussions with Shah Rukh Khan.

Will Priyadarshan [Images] stick to the original script?

Yesterday Priyan had a discussion with me after Shah Rukh Khan expressed the opinion that it would be better if his role were extended a bit. Priyan wanted my view on that.

Are you curious about how the remakes shape up?

Yes, I am looking forward to seeing them.

Let me now go back a little and ask you about Dasan and Vijayan, the two comic characters you created in the 1980s. You and Mohanlal were an excellent combination, and each of the three films made with Dasan and Vijayan in the lead were hits. Why didn't you think of making a series like the Laurel and Hardy films?

It is true that many youngsters also ask me the same question. The main reason why we didn't continue making films on the duo at that time was because the third film Akkare Akkare didn't do well. Anyway, somehow, it didn't materialise later on, though some producers came forward.

Yes, they may come back. I am still thinking about weaving a story about them.

As Dasan and Vijayan on the verge of retirement?

Yes (laughs). Do you know something, the last time the three of us- Sathyan Anthikad, Mohanlal and myself- came together was in 1989! That's almost 20 years ago. Due to various reasons, the combination never got repeated.

You are one of the best scriptwriters in India. Do you feel you did not get enough recognition because you write and make films in Malayalam?

Not at all. I am born here and I chose to work here. Kerala is a small state, and Malayalam films are seen by only very few people. That doesn't bother me. I am happy doing what I am doing.

Are you a satisfied person?

Yes, I am. If you choose a job you love, you will never have to work a day in your life! No amount of money can replace the kind of happiness and satisfaction I derive out of writing. Only those who do not understand this run after money. I am not bothered about money. I have no dreams that feature money. I dream only of good cinema and good scripts. I have only one passion in life - cinema.

star fiesta in kuselan

It might be a sweet surprise to the lovers of good and entertaining cinema. Yes, finally director P Vasu agreed the part of Kamal in a scene in Superstar Rajini's next movie Kuselan. The other big news about the film is that Ajith, one of the true followers of Rajini has also agreed to appear in a song sequence along with Rajini and Kamal in the film.

Vasu got this idea from the Hindi Blockbuster Om Shanthi Om in which more than 30 stars appeared in a song with Shahrukh Khan. When the director discussed his idea of recreating the same for Kuselan, the much impressed Rajini also accepted the same and gave his consent to Vasu to go ahead.

It is said that Vasu has already got the approval from Kamal for his appearance with his long time friend (Rajini) on screen after many years and Ajith has also shown great interest to appear with his mentor Rajini, who helped him a lot for a come back.

Sources say that apart from Kamal and Ajith, other stars like Vikram, Arjun, Sathyaraj and Trisha also appear in that song with Rajini. The director also approached Vijay for the same and expecting his approval soon. Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna, Balakrishna and Mahesh Babu are also being approached for its Telugu version.

When this correspondent asked P Vasu about this grand gala song, the director has agreed that he has such an idea for the film. "But I'm not in a position of disclosing the details of actors, who are going to appear in that song. Let the viewers to wait with more eager," said Vasu.

Vishal's Love!!

Looks like this Valentine’s Day will be memorable than any other for Vishal. Not that he has decided to go down on his knees to propose his lady love, but this is far from that. If you read about his confession in papers about his secret love, you guessed it right. Vishal shocked the media by stating that he has been in love and that he is keeping it a secret to himself.
Papers also claimed that Vishal stated the girl is straightforward and they have been friends for long enough for the love to blossom between them. Adding fuel to the fire, media predicted the girl to be Priya Mani who paired up with him for Malaikottai going by the inescapable chemistry they shared for the movie.
However, we decided to probe and contacted Vishal for clarification on the issue. “I have no idea where from this news emerged from, but I have no connection whatsoever to it,” Vishal told our correspondent. He also stated that his Valentine’s Day message has been misinterpreted by the media.
Priya Mani was also sought clarification in the issue for which she replied that her relationship with Vishal is only platonic and they are good friends.


Though No Reactions from nayanthara Side???

Sathyam screened for a special person

Major portion of the Vishal starrer Sathyam is complete but for a few song sequences. The unit was very satisfied after watching the canned portion of the film. Highlight of Sathyam is said to be popular Kannada star Upendra who is slipping in to the role of an encounter cop. In addition to him, there is one more actor who is making her entry into films after a long hibernation. It is dancer Sudha Chandran who will be seen in an important role in Sathyam. After her first film Mayuri and a few other projects, she is currently busy in television assignments.

Another interesting trivia about Sathyam is that the finished portion of the film was screened for police officer Sailendra Babu who is said to have tutored hero Vishal in the life, body language, mannerisms and other finer nuances of an encounter cop. Hence it is only fair that Vishal takes the approval of his guru before the film hits the big screen. One of the unit members was heard saying that the top notch police officer was much impressed with his pupil’s performance and is satisfied with the way Vishal has projected himself in the film.

Will the Rajini trick work for Nakul?

Mullum Malarum is one of the famous hits of the superstar. This is one of the films that played a pivotal role in elevating the star status of Rajinikanth. Apart from the excellent acting of all the stars, a winch also played an integral role in Mullum Malarum. While various types of vehicles
were used in movies, this different concept attracted the attention of the movie buffs. However, we did not get to see a winch in movies later on. Perhaps that could be because it did not fit in as perfectly as it did for Mullum Malarum.
Now, after a gap of two decades, a director has come up with this idea for his movie Kadhalil Vizhundhen. He has decided to use a winch in one of the fight sequences thereby repeating the history. Nakul of Boys fame - Devayani’s sibling - plays the lead in Kadhalil Vizhundhen. It remains to be seen as to how far the winch will help Nakul escalating his career.

While talking to the media, director P Vasu said, “As per Kuselan’s script, Meena’s role is that of a young mother whose children are in the school going age group.
