When Trisha wore that tiny dress to a public function, photographers and onlookers had the time of their lives watching her trying to pull the dress down to look atleast decent when she sat.
Probably she didn't like the experience at all because after that, she became a little more conservative about her sense of dressing.
But recently, she was in for some big troubles when her mom accompanied her to one of the functions. This time around, some of the buttons of her tops were unbuttoned. Maybe it was carelessness on her part. When photographers began to take pictures of hers, her mother, who was standing a few feet away noticed the unbuttoned state of her dress.
She immediately began gesturing angrily to her daughter to use a book to cover the cleavage that she was unknowingly showing. Trisha did what she was told.
Afterwards, when her mom got the chance to speak to her, she did give her a long lecture about being more attentive to details like buttoning...

Bipasha Basu

Born on January 7, 1979 in New Delhi, India, Basu hails from a Bengali family. She is the second of three daughters to her parents, the elder being Bidisha, and the younger—Vijayeta. Although she was born in Delhi, her family later moved to Kolkata.

According to her, she had come into modelling and acting quite by accident, because initially she had planned to study medicine. Basu studied science till the 12th standard, and later took up commerce. Although, as pointed above, she intended to become a doctor, her aversion for dissections made her opt for chartered accountancy. However, in 1996, she met well-known model Mehr Jessia in Kolkata; the latter suggested that Basu take part in the the Godrej Cinthol Supermodel contest. She eventually participated, and won the contest.

Vasu Bhaskar also disclosed that he would bring the affected person to fore after the movie release to meet the media.

Colors of Bollywood

Proud to succeed the Superstar,” says Surya

What would Surya’s film be after Varanam Aayiram? Well, he has signed the dotted lines to star in Ayan, to be produced by AVM Productions. The customary pooja was performed at the AVM office this morning (24-03-08) to launch the film. K.V. Anand will don the director’s cap while Tamanna will share screen space with Surya.
AVM Productions had called for press meet at 11:30 am and surprisingly both Surya and AVM Saravanan were present at the venue at 11:25 am. Veteran director S. P Muthuraman hosted the show. AVM Saravanan delivered the welcome address.

Addressing the media, Surya said that he is happy to star in the very next film by AVM Productions, after Sivaji’s astounding success. It is to be noted that Ayan would be Surya’s second film for AVM after the smash hit Perazhgan that won him acting accolades. This venture is a dream come true, he stated. Recalling his first photo session at director Manirathinam’s office with K.V. Anand, Surya said that he was supposed to have acted in his film earlier but could not do so due to call sheet problems. The actor’s forthcoming venture Vaaranam Aayiram, directed by Gautham Menon, is expected to be wrapped up within a month. He said, “Gautham has extracted the maximum potential from me, perhaps Ayan would even surpass that.”

What started as an ad film sowed the seeds for Ayan, states K.V. Anand. Gossipmongers at that time had a field day spreading rumors that the duo intends to do a film together. “I discussed this story with Surya on the banks of a lake and he liked it. That’s how Ayan happened,” he said. Harris Jeyaraj has been roped in to set the tunes. It is well known that Harris does not like introducing songs that would hamper the flow of the story. But showing keen interest in this project, Harris has recommended all the song sequences.

Though K.V. Anand is a cameraman himself, M.S. Prabhu’s services has been sought to wield the camera. The crux of Ayan is about a 23-year-old and how he attains his goals in life. The director was happy that M.S. Prabhu and lyricist Vairamuthu instantly liked the story, which is an indication that everyone would enjoy it.

Vairamuthu came out with an explanation for the name Ayan, i.e., Naanmugan meaning four faces. He asked: “Would Surya don four roles?” Any answers to that?

'Billa's record

'Billa' has answered those who predicted the end of Ajith.

Before 'Billa', 'Varalaru' was Ajith's hit. 'Azhvar' and 'Kiridam' that followed did not do well in the box office. In fact, 'Azhwar' was a downright failure.

'Billa' project was started when those doubters were about to see the end of Ajith. As it was a re-make film and that too a Rajini film re-make, the talk was both mocking as to what would Ajith do and of high expectations.But Ajith's 'Billa' defeated the mocking and fulfilled the expectations. Unlike others who finance films to make them run in theatres, Billa has crossed 100 days.

'Billa' also has found a pride of place with collections next only to 'Sivaji'. Having had a collection of Rs. 5 crore in Chennai alone, 'Billa' has made a record and found a place among Top 10 movies.

Namitha on Rangeela remake

Namitha, the hot star of Kollywood is upbeat about her film assignments. She has been flooded with offers but most of them being twin heroine subject and the lady has no qualms about doing such films. According to this baby faced beauty, even in a small role, one can shine. She says, “Although there may be two heroines, I will choose films where my character will have its own significance and will stand out. Hence I don’t regret choosing such films.” She is currently doing Indra Vizha, 1977, Perumal, Pondy etc. where she will be seen sharing screen presence with another actress.

On her English film Maya, she says that she has completed her part but does not know why the film is not being released. When asked if she would be playing the heroine role in Kannada remake of Hindi Rangeela, Namitha declines and says it is only a rumor and nobody has approached her on this. She is very happy and satisfied with Tamil films and plans to concentrate only here.

Racing off for big money

Bollywood has taken a flying start this summer with Race. The movie has embarked on a great opening three-day weekend and with the reports being highly positive, the trade is pretty sure that the movie will be another hugely successful one in the days to come. With almost no competition from any release until the 11th of April, Race has 3 clear weeks in front of it to make maximum money and wit the kind of release that it has had and the positive feedback, a very good looking balance sheet looks a certainty.

On the star front, the movie is yet another hit, further pushing Saif Ali Khan’s ever growing star status, though last year’s Ta Ra Rum Pum was a bit of a dampener. Akshae Khanna is bang on target this time with his villainous performance after a quiet 2007 where he had Salaam-e-Ishq and Naqaab bombing at the box office. Finally, Anil Kapoor, the most enduring actor in Bollywood makes a stylish statement with his performance as Inspector RD, his whacky one-liners really capturing the audience.

The three leading ladies. Well, it is not often that you get to see such beautiful ladies together on screen and everyone has realized it, quite evident by the collections that the movie is generating. Abbas - Mustan have landed a genuine hit after quite some time.

Trisha's chemistry

For most of Vijay’s fans, she is the princes like actress, who matches perfect for their Ilayathalapathy. For Vijay, she is the most favorite and successful pair on screen. Yes… your guess is correct. She is none other than Trisha, the cute actress of South Screen!

In an interview to a Tamil Magazine, the actress says that she is very proud to be heard herself as the most successful pair of the actor. Kuruvi is the fourth film of Trisha with Vijay after her successful combination in films Gilli, Thiruppachi and Aadhi.
Answering to a question she said: “It is great to hear that I’m the most successful onscreen pair to an actor like Vijay. He is very close friend of mine and very comfortable to me on sets. He is very sweet person and very easy when moves around co stars. Whenever he calls me for his films I do not miss chance. That much of rapport we have been maintaining so far…”

Commenting about her co stars, she says that she is never having enmity with any of the leading heroines at present. According to Trisha, she is maintaining good relationship with all leading heroines like Nayanthara, Shreya and Asin.

Trisha Arya

Arya will act in director Vishnuuvardhan’s next, which will be produced by Ayngaran International. The movie was expected to be a double hero subject with Arjun tipped to be the other hero. Arjun, it is said, declined the offer, as he is not comfortable with double hero subjects. So Vishnu opted to go with Arya alone.

However, Vishnu had another problem in fixing his favorite hero. It is regarding the call sheet of Arya who is acting in Bala’s Naan Kadavul, which is moving in a snail pace. Visnu decided to talk to Bala to get an idea of when Arya would be free from his commitments in ‘Naan Kadavul’. He is said to have requested Bala to finish the movie as early as possible to facilitate him to start the project soon.

Bala is believed to have accepted to help Vishnu by expediting up the process. He is gearing up to finish the project quickly.The latest buzz is that Trisha, the leading actress of south India, will pair up with the young hero.

Tabu in Kollywood

Seems that director Balu Mahendra was under a lot of diallema, for who would don the actress role inhis next film, Anal Katru. But no one could fit the role aptly, according to him. After the movie Adhu Oru Kanakalam, Balu is doing this project, Anal Katru. The launch of the film took place with the other film, Indiravizha. But Balu is yet to start the shoot. A lot of choices of the actress were given to Balu. The first on the list was Priyamani, then came Malavika and then came the return queen Nagma.

Silanthi

Silanthi directed by former journalist Adhiraj is complete and is all set for release on March 28. It is an edge of the seat romantic thriller with Munna and Monica in the lead. Very rarely we come across movies that defy set sentiments and superstitions prevailing in Tamil film world. ‘Silanthi’, directed by journalist Aadhiraj, seems to be one such film.

The title itself was deemed as an unfortunate thing in the industry circle. The reason behind the belief is that the hurdles faced by Sarath - Jyothika starrer ‘Pachaikili Muthucharam’, which was initially named as ‘Silanthi’. The title was considered as a doomed one and hence it was changed as ‘Pachaikili Muthucharam’. It is a different story that the film went on to become a big failure despite the sentimental amendments.Aadhiraj, however, has the courage to choose the ‘ill-fated’ title. Monica, who acted in Thankar Bachchan’s ‘Azhagi’, and Jayabaduri’s sister’s son Munna have teamed up for the movie.

Even the selection of Fauziya, a woman cinematographer, is against a sentiment. Fauziya, who worked in the movie ‘Uyir’, was alleged by the producer with sluggish work that caused the delay of the movie. Aadhiraj was unperturbed by the sentiment and went with his choice. Subsequently, Fauziya has lived up to his expectation by helping the director to finish the movie within 60 days.

˜Silanthiâ has thus defied twin sentiments by sticking to the title and cinematographer chosen by the director unmindful of what others think about both. The fact that the movie has been finished within very short span without any hiccup has proved the doomsayers wrong.

Let us hope the film would further disprove the sentiments by becoming a big hit.

Ayan Launch

The star studded press meet formally announced the launch of Ayan, a movie from AVM, starring Suriya and Tamanna in the lead.

The press meet followed the launch of the function held in AVM Studios this morning (24, March). Almost all the members of the unit attended the press meet and shared a few words with the media persons.

AVM Saravanan, K.V. Anand, Vairamuthu, Suriya, Tamanna and Harris Jeyaraj among others shared their views with the media persons gathered in the event.

We present here the excusive visuals and video coverage of the event.

Kuruvi

Produced By : Udayanithi Stalin
Directed By : Dharani
Starring: Actor Vijay
Actress Trisha
Music by: Vidyasagar
Release date: June 2008



Vijay Trisha starrer ‘Kuruvi’ is shaping up fast and steady. But the entire unit seems to be tight-lipped about the story of ‘Kuruvi’. Recently the shooting for a scene from this flick was shot at T.R. garden.

After returning to Chennai, the cast and crew of ‘Kuruvi’ had started shooting in T.R. garden for almost a week. The scenes involving Vijay and Trisha were shot at this venue. There was a grand set erected. Usually these kind of elaborate sets are put up for song sequences but this one in particular was not meant for a song. On the contrary, it is just for some dialogue sequence, says the grapevine.

True to its name, the team of Kuruvi (a bird) is again flying back to Malaysia towards the end of this month.

Amidst all this hustle and buzzle happening around ‘Kuruvi’, rumors are running rife on Vijay’s next. It is almost certain that Vijay’s movie under the banner of AVM would be directed by Hari. There are rumours saying that Nayantara would play the lead girl.Vijay’s forthcoming film Kuruvi is already making waves. Despite the not-so-great response to his Azhagiya Thamizh Magan, Vijay continues to be popular among distributors.

This has been proved by the fact that a Kerala distributor has obtained the Kerala rights of Kuruvi for Rs. 1.5 crores. The distributor is Mahi, who has previously produced and distributed two big films starring Suresh Gopi and Dileep in Malayalam.

Vijay’s films are hot in Kerala right from his Thullatha Manamum Thullum, which set a record in Kerala. Pokkiri, released last year, collected more than the films of Malayalam superstars Mohanlal and Mammootty that were released around the same time. Even his Azhagiya Thamizh Magan did above-average business in Kerala.

Kuruvi brings together the Ghilli team of Vijay, Trisha, director Dharani and composer Vidyasagar. The film is one of 2008’s most awaited films, thanks to the Ghilli success. The film, produced by Udhayanidhi Stalin, son of Local Administration Minister M.K. Stalin, is expected to hit theatres by May.
