;

Guru-En-Aalu-Stills-4

After several delays, finally Madhavan’s much-hyped ’Guru En Aalu’ will hit the screens on Pongal. Produced by KRG and directed by Selvah, the movie is the remake of recent Bollywood hit ’Yes Boss’.

The Shahrukh Khan starrer was about a youth, who is desperate to strike it rich in life. The Tamil version features Madhavan, Malayalam actress Mamta Mohandoss and Abbas in the lead roles. After ’Minnale’ the Maddy-Abbas combo is once again being seen on screen after a hiatus. Vivek’s comedy is another highlight of the movie.

Mamta plays the role enacted by Madhuri Dixit. Madhavan is upbeat about the movie. He says, ’I had seen Yes Boss several times. It has emotions, romance and humor in it. Selvah is a crafty director, who has done justice to the script. ’Guru En Aalu’ will click’. Technorati Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

Silambattam is doing great

;

Silambattam-stills-09

Of late, Silambattam has been a major cause of traffic jams in some parts of the city! How?! Venture out on the roads abutting the theatres where it is screened and you will know! It looks like all the crowds of Chennai are at the theatres playing Silambattam! This movie has been receiving an astounding audience response and it looks like it will soon join the “kings of box office” list of 2008!

Inside, you would hear all sorts of chaotic expressions of joy. People love it, especially the songs, stunts, and the “Simbuisms”. One should look at the audience reaction to the songs to believe it! ‘Nalamthana’, ‘Vachikkava’, ‘Where is the party’ seem be everyone’s favourites! Simbu plays two roles in this film: a strong-willed villager and a demure lad who turns violent in the second half. Though audiences enjoy both parts equally, the “villager” seems to more preferred by the public! Surprisingly, though the “demure-boy-turned-macho-man” character has the best songs and dance sequences, yet the other character has left a deeper impression on the audiences’ minds. The reason? They have not seen Simbu in such a mature character before - we just have to stop at that to avoid leaking the plot! And Simbu’s Billa getup is a bonanza!

Heroines: Simbu’s heroines are always a topic of discussion just like the Bond girls, and they have an exotic aura, e.g. Yana Gupta and Mandira Bedi. The trend continues in Silambattam too - a wonderful beauty Sana Khan has been introduced in this film. Plus we have Kollywood’s “Mona Lisa” - Sneha, the lady with a beautiful smile! Both these girls walk away with your hearts despite their abbreviated roles and outfits!

Clearly, Silambattam is another feather in Simbu’s cap! Technorati Tags: , , , , , , , ,

Aftermath of the Mumbai carnage has led to drastic changes all over the country and its influence has fell upon the entertainment quotient too. Female stars in the cinema are now reluctant to perform stage dances during the New Year eve due to security reasons. The ritual of hiring top heroines for shows during party nights on the day has been in vogue for a long time. Remunerated with a huge sum of money by the star hotels, they never had any complaints till now.

But, the recent wreckage of Taj, Oberoi and Trident in Mumbai has sent a chill down their spines. Due to security issues, some hotels have suspended their plans to host New Year celebrations. Yet, many are planning to as it’s a source of considerable income from these functions. Participants of 2007’s celebrations, actresses Shreya, Sadha, Meghna Naidu, Mallika Kapoor, Samiksha, Charmi, Pooja Gandhi along with many other heroines have now said a definite no to attend such events this year.

Manoj Kumar, manager said, "A slew of heroines participated as guests in last year’s celebrations. I personally arranged the dates for them. But, this time no one has turned up. Along with the terrorist attacks, people who attend the parties behave indecorous as they feel the heroines are being paid by them. Such issues has refrained the stars from being a part of these parties." Technorati Tags: , , , , , , , , , , ,

Actress Priyamani’s National Award has put her on a pedestal, and it is said that the actress has had varying demands after she got the award.

And hiking her salary is only one such a thing. The actress, reportedly, demands to hear the entire story before she agrees to do the role, and then suggests changes. And it is after this that she also demands a hefty salary.

But those who’ve approached her with scripts commonly have a thing to say and that is- she flatly says that if her co-star is Vijay, she is prepared to do any role and will straight away give out dates.

It is in this context that it is said that the actress is trying hard to make herself part of Vettaikaaran, Vijay’s next, for which the heroine is yet to be fixed. Technorati Tags: , , , , , ,

Tamanna: No on screen lip locks

tamanna-bhatia-wallpaper

Tamanna is surely basking in the glory of her hard earned success. Happy Days has virtually opened bright and sunny days of success for the actress. With an eye on Bollywood, the actress has made the right moves in both the Telugu and Tamil film industries. Though she has settled for a fifth position in the popularity charts, with Nayantara at the helm, the actress has a definite game plan in mind. No wonder that she has diplomatically cast way the popularity meter as, "The number game is not constant."

Slowly but steadily consolidating her position she is presumed to be the face of cinema in the coming days at least in the South. With top class banners and popular heroes of the day to share the screen with her like Surya in Ayan, Dhanush in Padikkathavan [movie stills] and Bharat in the Tamil remake of Jab We Met, she surely has a long way to go.

However the actress has never shied away from roles demanding much critical rigour like the one she essayed in Kalloori. If rigour is the right word for restrained acting, then the lady has imbibed the meaning of the word in the true sense of the term. Tamanna who is acting in the Tamil remake of the Blockbuster Hindi movie Jab We Met has ruled out any scope for on screen lip lock and size zero figure along the lines of Kareena Kapoor .

The actress has categorically made her statement clear, "I will not do kissing scenes; it’s in my contract. Kissing scenes can’t contribute to a film’s success; it’s the emotion that counts." Size zero she believes won’t suit her and “Besides, it doesn’t suit Indian bodies and can’t be retained forever."

Tamanna lays her conditions as well as her remuneration. The audience is charmed by her and she is making hay when the sun is shining bright for her. No wonder that she has raised her fee by more than100 hundred percent from 30 lakhs to nearly 70. With glamour the defining quotient for heroines of the age along with their acting talents, it needs to be seen whether she will hold on to her vow for no lip lock and size zero or ...

Mindmoulders (a counselling centre) opted for film actor Sivakumar and his family - which has become an epitome of a sweet and ideal family - to inaugurate its new clinic Home Sweet Home.It was a sight to behold proud parents Mr. and Mrs. Sivakumar standing next to their successful children and lighting the ceremonial “kuthu vilakku” to mark the clinic’s start.

With every improvement humanity makes, the pace in its lifestyle also gets increased. The mental fatigue such a lifestyle causes wears out an individual. Home Sweet Home aims to soothe your frayed nerves with its staff well-trained in the art of counselling.When the guests - Mr. and Mrs. Sivakumar, Suriya, Karthi, and Brinda Sivakumar - spoke at the function, they pinpointed the necessity of such counselling centres.

Sivakumar ridiculed the present scenario where couples seek divorce at the drop of a hat! He cited cases where couples sought divorce because of trivial reasons such as “snoring”. The veteran actor pointed out that the present generation is highly “pressurized” and instead of seeking solutions to problems, tries to avoid them.

Extolling the benefits of counselling centres such as Home Sweet Home, actor Suriya said that in his younger days, he found it hard to discuss some issues with his parents, though they were highly welcoming and open. He pointed out that counselling centres like this would be highly useful to young adults.

Karthi said that he was able to realize the true value of a family when he went to the US for his studies. He further added that due to globalization, the Indian society has changed a lot and the changes have caused several undesirable effects, so counselling centres are very vital to fight them.

Maruthanayagam was conceived by Kamal Haasan after his vivid research from the pages of ancient history. The film was launched by Queen Elizabeth before few years and Kamal Haasan was on seventh cloud with extreme happiness.

But due to financial constraints, producers of the film backed off and the project got shelved. After many many years now, Kamal Haasan gets new hopes with India-UK Film Corporation getting collaborated. The agreement was signed between British Government and various Countries where talented filmmakers are unable to produce their works.

This treaty will not alone turn dream projects into reality but get them sold internationally by making western countries aware about those projects.So, when ‘Marmayogi’ dropped off, it’s ‘Maruthanayagam’ brimming him up with more hopes. Technorati Tags: , , , , ,

;

vijay kollywood actor

Villu’ directed by Prabhudeva is Vijay’s 49th film. Following this, his 50th was to be produced by AVM. It was even titled ’Vettaikaran.’ This is the remake of director Siddique’s Malayalam film ’Bodyguard.’

In a discussion with Siddique, Vijay has requested him to make changes for the Tamil version and also to suit his image. But it’s said Siddique was not for it. When ’Kadhaparayumpol’ was changed in ’Kuselan,’ it caused distress to director Srinivasan. Siddique naturally does not want his story to also become a casualty like that.

When SA Chandrasekhar heard the story for ’Jayam’ Raja, he decided that could be Vijay’s 50th film. Vijay was also agreeable to that, so Raja will direct Vijay’s 50th film. So ’Vettaikaran’ could be Vijay’s 51st film.

Raja is working on a Telugu film starring Prabaas, and he is now showing great enthusiasm for Vijay’s 50th film Technorati Tags: , , , , ,

The hot news about the film is Nayantara’s salary. In Tamil she has refused to reduce her salary from 1.25 crores (The amount fixed by Lingusamy for Paiya). But in Malayalam she has agreed for just one fifth of the salary i.e., 25 lakhs for Bodyguard. But this amount is considered as the highest salary paid ever to an actress in Malayalam film history.

Nayantara said. "Money is not a matter to me. Self respect is more important than anything. Now I’m very happy and free from all frustration through doing this Malayalam film. But my next Tamil film will be the biggest one and I’ll also do a Telugu film in 2009. There will be four big films lined up for me this year... I never bother about losing a film to save my dignity!"

;

Tamanna kollywood hot actress09122008

After Nayanthara decided to walk out of Lingusamy’s Paiyya, several names like Saranya Mohan, Vijayalakshmi and few others were tossed around.

It seems Karthi and his advisors were very clear that only an actress of the same stature like Nayanthara would come in as the replacement. Meanwhile the media wrote that Trisha is the new replacement which the actress denied.

But the latest buzz is that Lingusamy has pulled off a coup by casting Tamanna who is the fastest rising glamour girl in Kollywood opposite Karthi in the film.

Tammu who just did not have any dates, as she is busy in Tamil and Telugu has gone out of her way to accommodate Paiyya, for which she is likely to do the first schedule from December end. The pretty young thing has two big releases lined up for Pongal 2009- Anandathandavam and Padikathavan. She also has two biggies Koncham Ishtam Koncham Kashtam in Telugu and Ayan in Tamil to be completed.

Then she has given confirmed dates to Moserbaer for their Kannan directed Raja Rani, the Tamil remake of Jab We Met. The shoot of the film will start in February middle once Bharath completes his Perarasu film Thirutani.Tamanna is the flavour of Kollywood and is all set to be the star of 2009. She has the pick of younger hero’s like Surya, Dhanush, Bharath, Karthi, Siddharth (Boys) and a new boy Siddharth. Technorati Tags: , , , , , , ,

Ajith's next 'Asal' with sameera reddy

;

Ajith ,sameera-reddy

It’s been a perplexed scenario for Sivaji Productions on fixing director for Ajith Kumar’s 49th film. It all started a year back as Sivaji Productions signed Ajith and Gowtham Menon for a project. Later, calls on air were either Dharani or Vishnuvardhan who would be replacing Gowtham. Finally, sources have revealed that it’s Saran who will be wielding megaphone for Ajith’s 49th film ’ASAL’ produced by Sivaji Productions.

Well, it’s noteworthy that duo combo Ajith-Saran had spelled hat-trick with Kadhal Mannan, Amarkalam and Attagasam. Earlier Sivaji Productions had signed agreement with Sameera Reddy as Gowtham had suggested and now she is being sustained for female lead.

Producers, Ajith and Saran on the verge of finalizing technicians within short period and buzzes are that it would be either A.R. Rahman or Harris Jayaraj scoring music. Del.Icio.Us Tags: , , , , , , ,

Suriya and Tamanna with the scenic beauty of Africa

;

Ayan_surya_Tamanna2

Filmmakers undergo many hardships to show us unseen and unheard-of locations. When cameraman-turned-director K.V. Anand wanted to show some of the most unexplored and beautiful landscapes in Ayan, he opted for Skeleton Coast and Kaokolan in Namibia. Well, except for a few highly-active persons with wander lust and geography experts, that name would not ring any bells! And K.V. Anand chose the most unusual and unexplored areas of Skeleton Coast to film the song ’Nenje Nenje’!

With red hilly backdrops, white sand dunes, scarce vegetation, trees miraculously surviving without leaves and unimaginable rock formations, the place is something that cannot be envisaged even in one’s wildest fantasies. After spending nights in tents fighting the intense cold (4 degrees Celsius) of this plain, Suriya and Tamanna had to dance to the tunes of Harris Jayraj during the day, when temperatures would soar to 42 degrees Celsius! Imagine their predicament! But these determined artists and the crew pulled it off successfully.

While you admire Suriya and Tamanna with the scenic beauty of Africa in the backdrop, one photograph will surely grab your attention - one where Suriya is caught in the act of kicking a baddie. He is seen nonchalantly swinging from the roof of a balcony to deliver his kick; the stunt might have been done with the use of cables, but it looks absolutely good!

The crew also filmed a few stunt scenes in Zanzibar Islands and in the mainland of Tanzania.

Ayan also stars Prabhu, Karunas and famous Bollywood actor Akashdeep Sehgal. Del.Icio.Us Tags: , , , , , , ,

Sonia Agarwal Back to acting

;

sonia-agarwal hot pictures
The customary habit of heroines boomeranging back in television soaps is carried forward by actress Sonia Agarwal. In an earlier time, she whooshed past the youngsters with her glam quotient in the movie ’Kadhal Kondaen’ and ‘7G Rainbow Colony’. Being director Selvaraghavan’s lucky mascot, a budding romance blossomed between them which ended up in conjugal bliss. For awhile she was engaged in being a dutiful housewife and now it seems she is in dullsville. Rumors went aboard that the actress is eager to once again become a heroine. Filmmakers thronged her home with offers in their movies. But Selva had an aversion on her decision and made her the assistant director in his movie ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’. Sonia was not so pleased even here and expressed her willingness to play in soaps. Acquainting this news, makers from the two widely popular channels are thronging her since sometime. To which side will Sonia consent is the big question. But one thing for sure is she will be shedding buckets of crocodile tears, which is the custom of any heroine in the serials.

Actress Trisha was rich even before she started to act. She got into the film industry just as a hobby.Before she got famous she acted in many films as a sister or a silent friend of the heroine. But even before that she acted in TV series that did not do well. Makkal TV got the rights to screen these old TV series on their channel.

Trisha however is pleading the producer not to air them. As to why Trisha doesn’t want to air it is not know. But a good guess is that her acting skills might not be great as now after experience and end up as a feast for people’s humour. Technorati Tags: , , , , , ,

Nayantara,Karthi in Paiya

;

Director Lingusamy has thrashed all rumours that actress Nayantara is no longer part of his pet project Paiya, saying that Nayan is very much part of the project. The hero is Karthi, who is currently busy with Ayirathil Oruvan directed by Selvaraghavan. Karthi has disclosed that as soon as he winds up Ayirathil Oruvan, he will start shooting for Paiya.

Nayantara is basking in the glory of being known as the queen of South India and her hands are full with big budget projects. Karthi, on the other hand, is very careful in choosing films after his highly successful debut in Paruthiveeran. The film brought him fame, accolades and honours. He garnered the Filmfare Best Actor award and was nominated for the National Award (Best Actor) for his stunning performance in the film. Apart from Paiya, he has also signed another film, Neeyum Naanum.

Lingusamy’s home production, Thirupathi Brothers, is currently producing a couple of films including Pattalam in which Nadhiya and a bunch of newcomers play the main roles.

Superstar’s name itself is enough to draw crowds at any function or movie hall. But his name drew in a galaxy of stars from Kollywood as well, at a well attended function at The Savera hotel on Sunday.

The occasion was the launch of Dr Gayatri Srikanth’s biography titled Rajini Perai Kettale.. in Tamil. The writer, an eye doctor, has already sold 20,000 copies of the book in English (titled “The Name is Rajinikanth”) and this is the Tamil version, which however has more details and well-editing than the original.

Hosted by Dr Duraiswami Hospitals, The Savera and Om Books International (the publishers), the event was attended by Kanimozhi MP who launched the book. Also present on the dais were Nina Reddy of Savera, cartoonist Madhan, SP Muthuraman and Ajay Mago of Om Books and Dr Srikanth.

The event saw a galaxy of speakers from Sivakumar, Srikanth, P Vasu, Narain, Chinmayi, Sandhya, director Vijay, Sampath Raj, Keerthi Chawla, Delhi Ganesh and others.

Actor Vijay’s mother Shobha Chandrasekar sang the invocation song. SP Muthuraman and Madhan congratulated the writer on her great effort and research while Kanimozhi MP wanted her to undertake a project to write a detailed, academic study of Rajini’s films. She said that the book is well-researched, simple in language and lot of hard work has gone into it.

All the speakers were wonderstruck with the fact that an eye doctor had the talent to write a book and spend more than a year of her life researching for the book and giving up her practice for it.

Dr Gayathri thanked her husband Dr Srikanth, (also an eye doctor) for his active help and encouragement during the entire period. The emcee for the evening was Bosskey who kept the audiences regaled with his wits on current affairs.
