Audio function, now in TV

Holding audio function and collecting a crowd for it is old hat.

Now the trend is to go to a TV channel, make the release, and interact with the TV people and telecast them live. The audio release function for 'Santhosh Subramaniam' will be done in that fashion on 23rd of this month.

'Santhosh Subramaniam' is the Tamil re-make of the Telugu super hit film 'Bommarilu'. Jenilia is Jeyam Ravi's pair in the film. In 'Bommarilu' too she was the heroine. It can be best described as a colourful love story fit for family entertainment.

Jayam Ravi, Genilia

Devisri Prasad has composed music for the film. The live telecast of the audio function will be on Sun TV. It also includes interactions among the hero, heroine and the film unit.

You can enjoy all of them from your drawing room.

Raghuvaran passes away

It is a great loss for Tamil cinema (indeed for South Indian cinema) to lose Raghuvaran suddenly like this. This versatile, understated, elegant actor had been struggling with a few health issues, but nobody thought (or knew) how serous it was. The news that is just coming in is that he was suddenly hospitalized on Tuesday night. The cause of his death is still unknown. He was born on December 11, 1948. He debuted in the award winning film, Ezhavathu Manithan (1982), which dealt with the disillusionment of an engineering student with the corrupt wokring practises of industries. He began as a character actor, then played a hero in a few films, went on to be typecast for a very long time as a smooth villain, and then, more recently, as a character actor playing a brother, an uncle, a senior official, a father and a fellow colleague.

He was outstanding as the sleek politician villain in Shankar’s Mudhalvan. Memorable as Ajith’s supportive elder brother in Mugavari, as Srikanth’s strict father in Roja Kootam, Vijay’s jolly father in Love Today, as Maddy’s cool brother in law in Run, Tabu’s brilliant boss in Kandukondain, Kandukondain, the husband with a secret in Anjali, Vijay’s caring neighbour in Thirumalai, an unconventional teacher in Sivappathigaram, an uncorrupt, ethical civil servant in Marudhamalai, the kind doctor who saves Rajini’s life in Sivaji, the Boss, the not so impressive villain in Bheema and a psychiatrist in Silla Nerangalil - which would become his last released film.

Fans of the actor – and there are many across the world – will never forget what a cool actor he was. He brought depth, intensity, elegance, understatement and style to Tamil acting. It is unthinkable not to see him grace the screen again. He will be terribly missed.

Ambassador for Dhoni team

It would not be an exaggerated statement to say that Indians are passionate about two Cs- Cricket and Cinema. They are almost like two religions which unite the people across the length and breath of the nation and cricket, especially, brings out the patriotic flavor from people. Hence it is only the right move on the part of the organizers to have chosen Vijay and Nayanthara as the star ambassadors of the Chennai Super Kings, the India Cements owned Indian Premier League.

Vijay was formally introduced at a function organized in Chennai on Tuesday which was attended by ace cricketer and former Indian captain K.Srikkanth along with other dignitaries. While speaking at the event Vijay said, “I have always been interested in cricket and follow the game closely. My interest is doubled now especially with my son taking a keen interest in the game”. Further on Vijay said that as he is a resident of Chennai all along and his friends, family members being avid cricket fans, he would like to cheer and support the city’s cricket team. He was also very proud that Dhoni is leading Chennai team and is confidant about his leadership skills which is sure to steer the team to victory.

Nayanthara was not present at the function as she was busy shooting elsewhere.

Kuruvi

Udhayanidhi Stalin’s production house Red Giant Movies has released the first still of its forthcoming venture Kuruvi. With the entire Ghilli team associated with Kuruvi, its progress is closely being monitored in Kollywood circles.

From Kuruvi’s still release recently we can infer that it is going to be another rollicking film from Vijay. Moreover, the design of the title also indicates that it will be an action-packed film.

Expecting this to be as huge a success as Ghilli, Kuruvi has been sold for astounding sums even in the neighboring states – Karnataka and Kerala.

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.

It is a double delight for model-turned-heroine, Lakshmi Rai . The lovely lass is busy both in Kollywood as well as in Malayalam films.

In Malayalam cinema, Lakshmi hit the jackpot by playing the heroine of mega star Mohanlal . The film was ‘Rock n’ Roll’. Though the movie did not do too well at the box office, Ms Rai attracted attention with a delightful cameo. Now, another ‘mega’ offer has come her way. This time, she has been signed up to play the female lead against the other Mollywood megastar, Mammootty . The film, to be directed by Anwar Rashid, will have Mammootty in a double role.

Meanwhile, offers have come from Kollywood as well. She is paired with Jayam Ravi in ‘Dhoom Dhoom’.

Another Tamil film of hers is the remake of Malayalam movie, Udayananu Tharam . In this film, Lakshmi will play the heroine against young actor Prithviraj who will enact the role Mohanlal did in the Malayalam original.
