Actress Namitha with a big hart
Posted: 04 Nov 2008 11:27 AM CST
Actress Namitha and some other background dancers had to do a dance shoot on red chillies and of course it made some of the dancers to cough and sneeze. See this actress Namitha got touched by it and gave part of her remuneration (in few lakhs) to the dancers for their hard work. It shows how nice Namitha is and hopefully bigger actors will follow her way.

Vikram, Ash, and Prabhu do their bit for Mani
Posted: 04 Nov 2008 11:24 AM CST
Mani's Ravan is up and running and looks like the actors are going through makeovers of sorts to fit into the roles Mani crafted for them. Vikram attended the one-day fast organized by Nadigar Sangam recently in his skull cap suggesting that his hairstyle has undergone a drastic change and that he is keeping it away from the prying eyes
of the media. Our guess is that Vikram is going in for the close-cut look, while enacting the legendary evil man Ravan.
Prabhu, on the other hand, is seen with thick beard in the same event. It could be remembered that Mani has roped in Prabhu for Ravana after their association in Agni Natchatrham. We also hear Ash is playing an accomplished Karnatic singer and is stretching her vocal chords in the name of practice.

Offers in abundance for Sunaina
Posted: 04 Nov 2008 05:10 AM CST
Sunaina has become a household name in Kollywood. The young actress had a phenomenal debut alongside Nakul in 'Kadhalil Vizhunthen'.
'Kadhalil Vizhunthen' had a terrific opening and that has helped me become a household name. I am happy that everyone recognizes me on the streets. I have been receiving many telephone calls appreciating my performance'.
Says Sunaina, 'I am unable to walk freely on the streets of Chennai after 'Kadhalil Vizhundhen'. People have started recognizing me and it gives me great pleasure.'
On her forthcoming projects, Sunaina says, 'I am acting with Nakul again. In addition to this project, I am acting in two more films whose filming would start after January.

Yuvan Shankar Raja with lots of letdowns
Posted: 04 Nov 2008 04:48 AM CST
Cannot guess the outputs of Yuvan Shankar Raja and not even him? Before couple of months, the young chap had scored scintillating musical score for Saroja. All the songs composed within 48hrs were sensational hits. But his following works were really disappointing: Aegan and Silambattam.
Hitting screens for Diwali, Ajith Kumar's Aegan hasn't got any impressive songs other than 'Hey Saala'. Rest of them weren't so pleasing and not able to hear more than once. His another project 'Silambattam' deserves the same credits. Both Simbhu and Yuvan are known for spelling best works when it comes to music. It was more evident with 'Manmadhan' and 'Vallavan'. But over here, except a song of fun 'n' frolic 'Where's the Party?" none has topped-the-chart. Hope, Yuvan has scored his best innovative tunes for Vishnuvardhan's forthcoming film 'Sarvam' and other films.

A versatile actor with his hop-skips to different roles has been fleeting with successful colors. Actor Surya is eagerly watching out for the release of his forthcoming film 'Vaaranam Aayiram' hitting screens on November 14. Getting on to speak about the film, actor says, "The film wouldn't close just to my heart, but to everyman, fathers, mothers and sons. Director Gowtham Menon has blended the film with lots of realities. Be it conversation between father and son or the stunts, everything happens to be realistic".
Post-release of his film, Surya-Director Hari works together for 'Singam' produced by actor's home banner Green Studios. Earlier, the production house owned by his cousin brother Gnyanavel had produced 'Sillunnu Oru Kadhal'. Soon after this film, Surya would be casted in Mani Rathnam's film, the project that auteur kick-starts after 'Raavana'.

Karunaas mighty keen on comedy
Posted: 04 Nov 2008 04:40 AM CST
Karunas, who is playing the hero in 'Dindigul Sarathy', has said he prefers doing comedy roles than playing the hero.
According to Karunas, 'I am acting in 'Dindigul Sarathy' because only a comedian can do that role of the protagonist. If similar roles come my way, I would consider playing hero. Otherwise, I am comfortable as a comedian.'
Stating that he is currently acting in nearly 15 films including 'Ayan', 'Silambattam', 'Rajathi Raja' and 'Panchamirtham', the comedian said the story of 'Dindigul Sarathy' would especially woo children.
It is the remake of a Malayalam hit film directed by Sreenivasan. Karthika plays his heroine. It may be recalled that comedians including Vadivelu, Vivek, Santhanam and Ganja Karuppu have gone ahead to play heroes only to return back and do comedy roles.

Reema's clean chit for Selvaraghavan
Posted: 04 Nov 2008 04:10 AM CST
Actress Reema Sen has denied reports that appeared in a section of media that director Selvaraghavan has been putting more pressure on the cast of 'Aayirathil Oruvan' demanding better performances from them.
The movie features Karthi in the lead role and Parthiban reportedly plays a character with negative shades. The movie has been in the making for over a year and is still nearing the elusive completion stage.
'Selva is a cool guy. His working style is friendly. Many artists want to be part of his movies and I am one among them. The reports that claimed that Selva had tortured us during filming are totally false,' says Reema.
Meanwhile, Reema celebrated his birthday recently by taking a break from the shoot of 'Aayirathil Oruvan'. Shriya, Malavika and Meghna Naidu were the surprise guests who floored Reema by their presence.

Shankar's new strategy for Endhiran
Posted: 04 Nov 2008 03:58 AM CST
Shankar seems to be always brimming with ideas when it comes to promoting his ventures. While he swathed the Metropolitan double-decker buses in Chennai with vinyl posters for the blockbuster Sivaji, he seems to have a different plan altogether for Endhiran.
If sources are to be believed, for
Endhiran, Shankar is planning to order life size Robot toys – inflated and other types. Though the plan is only in its initial stages, if it materializes Chennai will be lucky enough to witness weird and quirky looking Robots floating around in the skyline or inviting the guests who walk down the red carpet on Endhiran's premiere.

Happy Priyamani speaks on Mani Ratnam
Posted: 04 Nov 2008 03:55 AM CST
Priyamani is totally ecstatic to be part of a Mani Ratnam film.
Buzz has it that she is playing a negative role in the film 'Ravana' that is being directed by Mani Ratnam. Priyamani's character is reportedly derived from Soorpanakha, a powerful character in the Ramayanam.
Though the actress refused to comment on that, she said that it actually is a meaty character with important scenes in the film. Moreover, the character might not require her to dab on any makeup at all.
'It should be a joy to work with Mani sir. He is a thorough professional. But then we haven't still decided on the look for the movie,' she says.
Speaking about her role in that film, she says, 'I believe my character is still in the making'.
'After 'Paruthi Veeran', I just didn't want to do another village centric role. However, I'd not say 'no' to one now," she says.

If Dhanush played the lead in the last year blockbuster 'Polladhavan', his 'definitely male' bike equally played its part in boosting the movie's success. Such was director Vetrimaaran's casting; it was as if he almost cast the bike as a character.
On the verge of kicking off his next project, Vetri is these days busy
doing the groundwork. We got insider information that he is camped in and around Tanjore district with his handy cam filming the rooster-fights and researching on the subject.
So rooster-fight it is, on Vetri's focus this time. It is also learnt that Dhanush is more likely to star in his new venture.
