Divya's No to multistarrers

Actress Divya Spandana, who was offered the heroine role in Jeeva-Srikanth starrer Drohi, says she wasn’t inclined to take up the role. Ask her why and she immediately says it is because she has a policy against doing a double-heroine subject. ‘Vaaranam Aayiram’, the actress immediately points out, was only an exception as her character turned out to be the most important of the three. Yet another reason was also that the role required her to play mum and daughter, a move she decided against in this stage of her career.

The actress, who is currently working in Milind Rau’s ‘Kadhal 2 Kalyanam’, says she is eyeing the top slot in Kollywood and is working hard to get herself an identity here. For this, the actress contends that a double heroine subject does not help and so, she has decided against starring in them. After working in ‘Kadhal 2 Kalyanam’, the actress will pair up with Jeeva in his next flick, ‘Singam Puli’.

Maddy loses his voice

The stand off between Madhavan and his Avan Aval Adhu producer Gaurav Sharma is getting bizarre. Tamil Film Producers Council (TFPC) was forced to intervene, and the producer was given the green signal to release the film. Maddy refused to dub for the film, as part of his salary is still pending. Gaurav Sharma was left with no other alternative than using a dubbing artist to dub for the star, as the film is scheduled to release on May 29.

The film directed by Kona Venkat is said to be an `edge of the seat thriller` and features two heroines Sada and Shamita Shetty. The film, which was earlier titled Leelai, is a remake of the Ram Gopal Varma-produced Hindi film Darling. Madhavan who is training to do martial arts in Hong Kong for a forthcoming Bollywood film, told sify.com: "First let the film release, then I will comment".

Priyamani to wed Tarun?

Just a few hours after Tollywood’s hot babe Priyamani denied rumours on her romantic link with actor Tarun, it is now heard that the actress has finally decided to marry Tarun, her Nava Vasanthan (2007) hero. This development reportedly occured after Tarun’s mother came to know about their affair and agreed for their wedding. Sources say that the marriage is likely to take place after they complete their ongoing assignments. The couple was often spotted getting cozy at many five star restaurants and Tarun recently gifted the actress an expensive luxury car.

Contradicting these reports, Priyamani earlier said: “Tarun and I had great fun during the shooting of Nava Vasantham, but we hardly met with each other after the shooting was completed. Then how could we be in love? Tarun, Ankita and I got along well on the sets. Tarun and I never met again on a personal level." Priyamani had also denied the rumours that Tarun gifted her a Toyoto Innova, saying, "Why do people malign actresses with cheap rumours? I bought the Innova in Hyderabad with my hard-earned money. No hero gifted it to me. It is my personal car."

Actor Nakul is yet to believe his luck. A dream start is ‘Boys’ to be followed by a few years of struggle to make it big, and then, ‘Kadhalil Vizhunthen’ happened. Success doesn’t come easy, nor does its elation leave easily. Nakul is presently playing hero in his second flick, ‘Masilamani’, in which he is paired, again, with Sunaina, his ‘Kadhalil Vizhunthen’ heroine. This has provided enough grind for the gossip mills that has suspected that something is brewing between the two. Ask Nakul about it, and pat comes a reply, “No! We are just good friends. I really am close to Sunaina because she is a good friend of mine and we have already done a film together. We, otherwise, are just friends.”

Ask Sunaina the same question, and she too refutes it. “I am fond of him because he was my first hero,” says the actress. When asked what she really likes about Nakul, the actress made her sentence clear. “I don’t know if this is his plus or minus point, but I like it in him. When he enters any place, he may not even speak a word, but his presence will, nevertheless, be felt. I will know it if Nakul is around. I like that about him,” says the actress. ‘Masilamani’ is being directed by RNR Manohar and produced by Kalpathi S Agoram. It is an action-packed commercial film and has music by Dheena.

5 directors shortlisted for Vijay’s 50 th film!

Ilayathalapathy Vijay’s 50th Golden Jubilee film is going to be an event. The star has almost completed 50 percent of his current assignment, his 49th film Vettaikaran, which is going to release for Diwali 2009. In all likelihood Vijay’s 50th film will be produced by Sangili Murugan, the veteran producer who gave him stardom with Fazil’s Kathalikku Mariyadai. It will be an emotional moment for Vijay and Murugan if they come together. Now who will direct it? The latest we hear is that five directors have been shortlisted to direct the 50th film. All of them except ‘Jayam’ Raja have worked with him sometime in the past.

The idea is that the star will go through the story idea of all the directors and then decide what suits his image the best before finalizing the director. The man who tops the list is Kollywood’s number one commercial director K.S Ravikumar, who will take up the project only if he is able to start and finish his Vikram untitled film for producer Mohan Natarajan by November. Next on the list is ‘Jayam’ Raja who is keen to remake the Telugu Nagarjuna super hero film Azad with Vijay. The film suits Vijay’s image, but nothing has been firmed up. There are three other candidates in the list- director Selva, who is known for making commercially viable thrillers, Perarasu the mass masala king and Malayalam director Siddique who wants to remake his Bodyguard with the star. The industry buzz is that finally it may be a dark horse who will emerge as the winner. However one thing is clear- Asin, Vijay’s lucky mascot is almost sure to do the film if she can juggle her dates.

Call it coincidence, or whatever you please! Actress Meena, who has been long looking for a husband, has finally found her man when she is working on a Tele Serial aptly titled ’Kalyaanam’.

It seems like her family has found him for her! Meena will get married to a software engineer, based in Bangalore, Vidyasagar, on July 12 in Tiruppathi.

“The wedding was arranged and the families seem to like each other’s company. My marriage will not affect my personal life, be it in films or on TV,” says the actress, who has paired with the industry’s top heroes, from Rajinikanth to Ajith. The actress was most recently seen in ’Mariyadhai’ alongside Vijayakanth, following her role in ’Kuselan’. She was introduced to filmdom as a child artiste and later went on to do over 150 films in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
