Kollywood Actress

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 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.

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.

Shriya, who has been moving betwen Hollywood and Bollywood during the last couple of years, is back to Tamil films. Kanthaswamy, Kutty, Thoranai and Jaggubhai constitute her latest line-up. Shriya’s roles in all these films are different and interesting. In Kanthaswamy, Shriya is the independent city slicker who is ready to lock horns with anyone to prove her point of view. As Kanthaswamy’s heroine, she shares a love-hate relationship with the hero. In Kutty, she is a naïve village girl who falls in love with a boy from the neighbourhood. In Thoranai she is again the carefree city girl who plays her life’s games in a cool and composed manner. In Jaggubhai, she is a pampered rich girl who is taught sense by her father, the older Sarathkumar.

Kollywood beauty Shriya Saran is grabbing a lot of eyeballs with her titillating act in upcoming films. Well, it’s not the first time Shriya is baring her skin to the camera. But the gal never looked so glamorous and at ease in skimpy clothes as she does appear in the stills of her latest movie ‘Thoranai’. The promotional stills show Shriya dressed in a skimpy blue top and getting wet on a beach. Must say the gal’s body never looked in better shape. But the oomph factor comes mainly from the way she carries herself, with ease, through the raunchy sequence.

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.”

Debutant director Manohar has decided to cast the winning pair of Kadhalil Vizunthen once again for his maiden venture Masilamani. The entire shooting is expected to end shortly with only a song remaining to be canned. Speaking to Galatta from AVM Studios, Manohar complimented producer Kalpathi S. Aghoram and said that he was very lucky to get a producer like him. Manohar was given complete permission to shoot the songs anywhere in the world, but he decided to complete it in Hong Kong itself.

Nakul, who plays the lead role, is very excited about this project, and said that he is looking forward to the film's release. Nakul has also assisted director Manohar by giving suggestions on many occasions.

Director Manohar agreed that all love stories are the same, but the way each one is handled is what makes the difference. Manohar has worked very seriously on the screenplay and Sunaina had taken great pains to learn Bharatanatyam for her role.

Music has been scored by D. Imman and Vetri handles the camera. Nakul and Sunaina form a great pair and it remains to be seen if they can set the screens on fire again.

Masilamani is a cute love story which is sure to leave you asking for more!
