Kissing virus hits Kollywood!

Kollywood is in a kiss and tell mood. Actually it is a kissing boom in tinsel town. Lip lock between the lead pair in Tamil films is the latest publicity boost for films. Recently the makers of Manjal Veyil, Kulir 100 degree, Thoranai, Sarvvam, Brahmadeva and Laadam hyped the kissing scenes in their films. Meanwhile a dozen other films under production have “hot lip locks” like , Kanthasamy, Mutthirai, Adhe Neram Adhe Idam, Bayaam Ariyaan, Sarithram, Kutty etc. Please note that these so called ‘kiss and tell’ is a soft peck on the lips, which you would miss if you wink! In Kanden Kadhalai, Tamannaah kisses Bharath on his cheeks and forehead but not on his lips!

Mutthirai director Srinath, who initially claimed that there is a kissing scene between Nitin Sathya and Manjari Fadnis, had to play it down after the actress denied the kiss! So now, as a part of the promotion it is being said that there are 10 kisses in one song between Lakshmi Rai and Daniel Balaji! Srinath is quoted in an interview in a Tamil paper saying: “There is a song in the film where Daniel kisses Lakshmi eight times and she kisses him back twice. Both the artist was cool about it and was very cooperative.” It looks like the kiss is here to stay as the filmmakers feel it is the best way to get an opening for their films in these hard recession hit days.

Namitha's expanding clout

Take heed all you ladies in Malayalam and Kannada film industry. For Namitha , the super sexy bombshell of Kollywood, is expanding her clout. Since the start of her career down south, Namitha has focused mainly on Telugu and Tamil cinema with an odd Kannada film now and then. But now, sources from Kollywood say the actress is keen on doing more films in Malayalam and Kannada. It’s common knowledge that Namitha is doing the Malayalam film ‘Black Stallion’ in which she’s cast opposite Kalabavan Mani. Now, the busty belle will be seen in a Kannada film as well. Reports say director V. Ravichandran has finalized Namitha to be the leading lady of his next Kannada film which will be an action thriller.

Namitha had earlier worked in the director’s Kannada film ‘Neelkanta’ way back in 2006. After that she’s only done one more Kannada film titled ‘Indra’. Sources say Namitha and Ravichandran shared a very good camaraderie while working in ‘Neelkanta’ and that is why the filmmaker is keen to cast her in his next film.

It looks like Namitha just doesn’t want to rule over Kollywood and Tollywood, but wants to be the reigning queen of the South.

Nayantara and Prabhudeva marry secretly?

Kollywood is awash with rumours that Nayantara and Prabhu Deva have married secretly. The rumour began when television channels down south began reporting that the two stars have married secretly in Hyderabad. However, a confirmation is yet to come from either Prabhu Deva or Nayan. The two have been linked ever since they bonded together while working in Vijay’s ‘Villu’. It is believed that Prabhu himself took responsibility of teaching Nayan complicated dance steps and she reciprocated with equal enthusiasm while learning them. Later, when Nayan got Prabhu’s name tattooed on her wrist, the affair was all but confirmed.

The rumours of a brewing romance between the two got further legitimacy when Prabhu went out of his way to choreograph two songs for the Malayalam film ‘Bodyguard’ just for his dear Nayan. He did not even charge any money for it. All this, coupled with grapevine that Prabhu Deva’s marriage with Ramlath is on the rocks, has almost made the romance between Prabhu and Nayan too real to disbelieve. Still, the rumour of a secret marriage between the two has come as a shock to many. And neither of the two stars has yet confirmed or denied the news.

Vijay’s title now with Sundar C

The groundwork for Vijay’s 50th film has already begun. It has been confirmed that Perarasu will be directing the movie which will be produced by Sangili Murugan. The cast is yet to be decided though there have been speculations that Sneha has been signed up to play one of the two heroines in the movie. But the immediate problem facing the team is the title. It had earlier been reported that there were plans to use the title of a yesteryear MGR starrer, or a catchphrase from any one of his hit songs for this movie.

Vijay himself is reportedly very keen on having his 50th film titles as ‘Enga Veettu Pillai’ after MGR’s cult hit. Acquiring this title might not have been problem in the normal course of things. But, the problem is that this title has already been registered by Sundar C. So, Sundar C’s permission will be required for this title to be used for Vijay’s film. There are also reports that there are many other prospective takers for this title in Kollywood but Sundar C is very keen to retain it.

Vijay, who is currently out of station, is expected to meet Sundar C on his return to the city and negotiate this matter in order to use ‘Enga Veettu Pillai’.

What’s in a name, we tend to think. But in Kollywood, especially when it comes to landmark films like the 50th, the title does seem to be of very high importance.
