K.S. Ravikumar’s plans for Rajini’s Jaggubhai!

With Sarathkumar joining hands with K.S. Ravikumar, rumors on Jaggubhai – supposed to be made with Rajinikanth – are resurfacing again. However, Sarathkumar plays his cards safe and quickly clarifies that he has no clue on whether his project with KSR will dust and use the script of Jaggubhai. His Vaitheeswaran is releasing this weekend, where Meghna Naidu is paired opposite him, and the actor in Sarathkumar is waiting in anticipation for the box office response. He states that the movie is based on reincarnation and he plays the role of a psychiatrist. “This movie’s result will decide my next course of action in accepting similar movies,” Sharath notes.

Up next is 1977, which the actor claims to be an action adventure film on par with Casino Royale. Besides, he is also a part of the Malayalam movie Pazhassiraja with Mammootty in the lead and an untitled Selvaraghavan movie that hits the floors in December 2008.

Before signing off, Sarathkumar clarifies that Vaitheeswaran’s dialogues are not influenced with his political stand and he treats politics and cinema differently.

Stars galore in Kuselan

Groundwork has begun for the upcoming superstar Rajinikanth starrer Kuselan and Vasu seems to be on a signing spree for the rest of the cast. Looks like the Rajini – Prabhu combo will continue in Kuselan after the hugely successful Chandramukhi. The duo’s chemistry and impeccable timing in Chandramukhi has come in for widespread acclamation. Prabhu is likely to don the role played by Mukesh for the Malayalam original Katha Parayumbol.

Besides Kuselan, Prabhu has also accepted to play a vital role in Silambarasan’s Silambattam

Siva manasula sakthi' caught in a jam

The maiden production of Vikatan Talkies, 'Siva manasula sakthi' is in trouble.


Writer Jayamohan in his article 'Thopi Thilagam' that appeared on the Internet had mocked both M.G.R. and Sivaji. Vikatan weekly had published this article recently.

In a meeting held on Sunday at Nadigar Sangam, all actors condemned both Jayamohan and Vikatan Publication. They demanded an apology from both with a deadline of one week.

They announced that if the apology was not forthcoming, they will not extend cooperation for their films.
Jayamohan is writing dialogues for the films 'Nan kadavul' and 'Angaditheru' and Vikatan group is producing 'Siva manasula sakthi'.

These three films will have a testing time if they don't tender an apology.

Jessica alba-boy baby

Sources say that actress Jessica Alba and her boyfriend Cash Warren are going to be parents of a bouncing baby boy. Jess was shopping at the very chic Petit Tresor in L.A. (doesn't anybody in Hollywood got to Babies R Us?), where she purchased a set of baby furniture in a nautical theme.

Still not convinced? Maybe they just like boats?

Well, Jessica also picked up a blue Huddy Buddy onesie reading "I'm a Boy" on her way out of the store, so, unless she's messing with us, we're thinking she's definitely got the baby blues.

Neetu chandra-ripped off her pants

Neetu Chandra, who was shooting for Ashwin Dheer’s 123 in Manali, recently ripped off her pants while doing an action scene in the film.

The actress is reluctant to reveal the details of the incident but after much coaxing she finally says, "I play a cop in the film — a Jat inspector who is loud and boisterous in her actions. I have performed a lot of stunts in the film. There was one particular scene in the film where I had to perform some kicks. Since I am a martial arts expert, I was doing this scene with much sincerity. The action director kept asking me to improvise. When I finally performed the kick, the pants that I was wearing were so tight that they ripped. Fortunately for me I was wearing slacks under my pants and it saved me from embarrassment," says Neetu.

The actress continues, "I also had to ‘kick’ Murali Sharma in the scene. When I was rehearsing, I didn’t realise that Murali was standing next to me. I just aimed and performed a kick and it fell heavily on him. Unaware of what was happening, he fell to the ground. Poor man! He was so stunned that he went and rested for two hours before he could act again. I went and apologised to him but he realised that I had not done it deliberately."

This will be Neetu’s third film after Traffic Signal and Garam Masala. The actress is looking forward to great films this year. "I am doing Dibakar Banerjee’s second film Oye Lucky where I play a simple Punjabi girl opposite Abhay Deol. I will be wearing no makeup in the film. Paresh Rawal plays a triple role in the film. Then there’s a Tamil/Hindi bilingual with Madhavan titled Flat No 13-B which is a ghost thriller. The film is being directed by P.C. Sriram, a National Award winner and Rahul Dholakia’s Mumbai-11, which is a realistic story. I am playing a house maid in this film," reveals Neetu.

The actress, who is also a youth icon for the Unicef in Maharashtra ,says that failures don’t trouble her. "I live for today. I learnt the value of life when I was doing Madhur Bhandarkar’s Traffic Signal. I met street urchins and spent time with them. I learnt how they live for the moment," says Neetu.

Dhanush in a period film

'Polladhavan' team is getting together again.

The film will be produced by Kadiresan, directed by Vetrimaran and will have music direction by G.V.Prakash. Shriya will pair Dhanush in the film.

The story is about a 1970 incident that took place in Madurai and it is about a particular caste. That is the reason why Vetrimaran has kept the details as a secret.

The film 'Subramaniapuram' directed by Sasikumar too has a 1980 story and that again revolves around Madurai.

Shriya

The only difference is that 'Subramaniapuram' is a love story whereas the Dhanush's film is a story about a caste.

Vetrimaran wanted to title the film as 'Seval'. As yet another film with the title 'Seval' directed by Hari with Bharath as hero exists, they are looking for a good title.

Story discussions are happening briskly.

Jeyam Ravi grooming his moustache for 'Peranmai

Hitherto Jeyam Ravi had a clean-shaven face in films.

How would he look with a moustache?

Donning the role of a forest officer in S.P.Jananathan's film 'Peranmai', Jeyam Ravi is grooming his moustache for that. This is the first film he will have a different get up.

Since Ayangaran International is producing 'Robot', they indicate that 'Peranmai' may be delayed. To belie that, Jananathan is busy shooting the film in Ambasamudram area.

Jayam Ravi

They have imported a helicam, a camera to shoot from a small helicopter to shoot from the air.Out of 5 heroines in the film,not even one is selected. Even without the heroine, 'Peranmai' is progressing fast.

Again Trisha

Trisha, who is always in the eye of some controversy or the other, is now caught in a fresh row. The beautiful lass is said to be found with a leading hero, with whom she hasn’t acted in any film. According to grapevine, she was found with the tall man at midnight parties in a famous star hotel in Chennai.

One wonders how the leading actress manages such friendship amidst busy schedule in Tamil and Telugu. Trisha, however, seems to be unperturbed by this kind of news on her. She has successfully passed through more maligning gossips on her personal life.

This time Trisha

Heroine Trisha is going to do an item girl in Rajnikanth next film Kucheludu which will start its shooting from March 10th. The trend of big heroines doing item numbers has started long ago and now Trisha joins the gang of item girls.

Kucheludu is a bi-lingual movie which is being made in Tamil and Telugu simultaneously. Ashwini Dutt is producing the telugu version on Vyjayanthi Movies banner. P. Vasu is directing the movie. Jagapathi Babu and Tabu play important roles in the telugu version of Kucheludu.

Meanwhile Rajni’s another movie Robot will also have its official shooting launch on March 10th, the same day of Kucheludu launch. Robot has big names like Aishwarya Rai doing the female lead and Shankar directing as well as producing the movie on Sri Surya Movies banner.

So Rajnikanth fans might have two films this year for them to enjoy

Vellithirai

Starring: Prithviraj, Prakash Raj, Gopika, Lakshmi Rai, M.S. Bhaskar, Sampath, Srikanth and others.

Direction: Viji

Music: G V Prakash

Cinematography: Panneerselvam

Production: Prakash Raj

A witty satire of the perils of stardom in Indian cinema. Though Vellithriai, the Tamil remake of Malayalam’s Udayananu Tharam, lacks the original’s brilliant touches, it is still entertaining to an extent. Vellithirai brings back the successful duo of Prakash Raj – Prithviraj together and the combination works well, if not as superbly as the legendary Mohan Lal - Srinivasan combo in 'Udhayananu Tharam'.
Saravanan (Prithviraj) is a struggling assistant director. He lives in Kodambakam, where there are several other hopefuls and wannabes: friends and rivals struggling together. Saravanan’s dream is to make his own film and he has a foolproof scheme to achieve this goal: write a sure-fire script and insist on directing it himself. His roommate, Kannayan (Prakash Raj) a sly, struggling and untalented actor hatches a plot to steal the script, pass it off on his own, and insist on being the star of the film. One day Saravanan pitches his story to Trisha (playing herself) and is shocked to discover that Trisha already knows the story. His dreams shattered, he turns to the famous actress Mythili (Gopika), for help. Can Saravanan outwit Kannayan who has now become a big star? We won’t elaborate more on the plot that takes interesting turns except to say that the climax borrows from the Hollywood satire about moviemaking, Bowfinger. Prakash Raj in an interview to The Hindu said, “Don’t call it a remake. Call it an inspiration.” The Tamil keeps the outline of the original’s plot but changes many details, including the dialogue, which is written with an eye to a Tamil audience. Vellitherai deftly satirizes commercial cinema: and in the process indicting Indian stars and their nearly fascistic behavior on and off a film set. The most pointed dialogue is when Prakash Raj says to his friend, 'Mustafa turning into Hanuman is possible only in tinsel town'. The satirical portions in the film have been crafted deftly, especially the scene between director and star about the absurd age factor of Indian movie heroes.

Prithviraj is wonderful in this role. He doesn’t stereotype the struggling artist but gives the character doubt, integrity, and compassion. Prakash Raj is flamboyant and complex as the bad actor who has to act to save his life. A challenge for any actor: how does a good actor play a bad one? His over the top stylish makeover as the star in the second half may make him look funny, but that is the point: to make fun of this pompous man. Gopika as expected is quite natural. Though the film’s focus on the personal problems of a heroine makes for good viewing, her extended mushy act does get a bit tiresome.



Everyone in Vellitherai has worked hard to make this resemble a movie about a movie as much as possible. M.S. Bhaskar playing the manager’s role, and Charlie as production manager illustrate this best. Cinematography by Paneerselvam is top notch. One of G.V.Praskash’s melodies is really foot tapping: 'Kanavugal' canned at several beautiful locations is a visual treat. But his background score does leave lot to be desired. The choreography and sets for the songs are tasteful, even ironic. They are at once mocking and sincere, suggesting that commercial cinema is always a compromise: something a serious filmmaker like Saravanan is forced to contend with on his road to success. Viji, the debuting director, who had earlier scored handsomely for his dialogues in movies like Mozhi and Azhagiya Theeya, seems to be learning the ropes in the direction front. Climax for one could have been shaped up better. Overall, movies about movies are rare enough in Tamil cinema and a new addition to the genre is always welcome and the attempt is much appreciated.

Katrina Kaif admits being in love

So much has been written on Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan. Their silence also gives more space for speculation. This time around, Katrina has opened up and admitted that she has been in love.

The pretty actress said that she has been in love and termed it as something wonderful that words couldn't explain. She refused to say if the man was Salman Khan but gave enough hint by saying that she is not averse to marrying an actor.

Meanwhile, her career has opened up having signed two films deal with Studios 18 following the success of Apne, Partner, Namaste London and Welcome. She is waiting for the release of films like Race and Singh is Kinng. However, she said that she has no date available for the film London Dreams.

Nayan's newsmaker outfit for Aegan!

Although Billa has now become a thing of past, Nayan's eye ball grabbing stylish but inadequate outfits for the movie are still the topic of discussion. More so, the costumes looked perfect on her well toned physique as opposed to the plump frame she used to carry. Looks like she is keen to repeat the history and sources make it clear that her costumes for Aegan, although not as scanty as Billa, are being designed with utmost attention. Which means her fans are in for another visual treat in a different light this time around.

Ajith sports a beard for Aegan, directed by Raju Sundaram and scored by Yuvan Shankar Raja. Nazir, Suhasini, and Navdeep are also a part of the movie that is likely to hit the screens by mid 2008.

One more important character in Aegan

The forthcoming project of Ajith directed by Raju Sundaram is the topic of discussion in the media now. The film went on floors without a title and after a while it was announced that it would be called Aegan inspired from the Sivapuranam. The crew had completed a schedule at Hong Kong successfully and would be proceeding further with it right now at various locales. Nayanthara who played the role of Ajith’s love interest in Billa will once again be doing the role of heroine in Aegan too.

Now the crew has announced that there would be a character of Ajith’s younger brother in the film and it would be Navdeep who had made an impressive debut with Arindhum Ariyamalum and Ilavattam. There would also be a heroine to accompany Navdeep and the unit is scouting for the same right now. Navdeep is a happy man for obvious reasons and avers that Aegan would surely be a turning point in his life.

Ghilli, Bheema, Dhool – All on the bus!

Tired of the long and exasperating journey while travelling in buses? Well, it shouldn’t be so anymore. Wonder why? Read on!

A.M. Rathnam, one of the topmost producers in the film industry, has many movies to his credit including hits like 7G Rainbow Colony, Ghilli, Indian, Dhool, Bheema to name a few. Having reaped success after success, he has now decided to do something that very few would even think of. Yes, Rathnam has given the rights to screen all his films to the transport corporations and companies that ply buses to various destinations. And this is inclusive of the dubbing rights also. Interestingly, his very recent film, Bheema also features in this list. Isn’t it one more reason to hop on a bus and take off to your favourite destination?

Bharathi refuses…

Bharathi’s role as a commercial sex worker in Ammuvaaghiya Naan received critical acclaim from all quarters. The film had a totally different approach which was liked by people. Bharathi’s performance matched that of veteran actor Parthiban in the film. Now this film is slated to be made in Telugu and the producers have approached her to do the same role in Telugu also. However Bharathi has refused the offer stating that if she agrees to do the role in Telugu also, there is a danger of her getting typecast and she may not be getting other roles. Secondly she has other satisfactory offers in Tamil which are coming her way and the young actress is careful in choosing them. Recently her appearance with Vikranth in Nenjathai Killadhe was also talked about and the lady is not in a great hurry to grab every offer.
