Asin spells success, everywhere

Posted: 09 Apr 2009 08:32 AM PDT


We've known her as a model and an enchanting actress. But the bubbly young actor has a relatively unknown side to her: she is an ace in interior designing. Asin, prior to joining the film industry, was also an acclaimed entrepreneur. She was also the recipient of the Young Entrepreneur Award in Kochi. But what is surprising is that, despite her hectic film schedule, the actress is said to keep her company running, with the help of her father and other relatives. Her father, however, has joined her in Mumbai recently to take care of her film career and her entrepreneurial adventures seem to be left in the lurch. Her spell in Bollywood, however, has taken to a great start and offers are pouring for her, as she is regarded as the lucky actress.

Sathyaraj gives up hero roles

Posted: 09 Apr 2009 08:31 AM PDT


Actor Sathyaraj says he is going to take only dignified character roles of his age, instead of prancing about tress like a young hero. So, he has agreed to play another offbeat role in director Thankar Bachchan's next film, 'Tholaindhu Ponavargal' for which the script is ready and will start this project after completing his 'Kalavadiya Pozhudhugal'.
But that's not all. The actor has donned the role of 'Periyar' once again. This time, it is for a song in Thankar's current project, 'Kalavadiya Pozhudhugal'. This film stars Prabhu Deva as a hero and has one song in which 'Periyar' is said to be revisiting the state again. For this, Thankar had approached Sathyaraj, who readily agreed to it.
"I feel so happy in fact to act as Periyar again and I have also asked Thangar a favor for which he never paid heed (Laughs). I have a long term dream to get into the role of Karl Marx I hope that my dream will come true one day" He adds.The actor tonsured his head to play Periyar just for that song, which has been penned by Vairamuthu. Sathyaraj says he would like to give way for youngsters to play heroes and will take up roles like Sivaji's in 'Devar Magan' or Amitabh in Sarkar. As a result of that, he has agreed to do a Telugu film as well, in which he is said to be playing Trisha's dad.

The Problem with Vijay

Posted: 09 Apr 2009 08:28 AM PDT


Ilayathalapathy Vijay - When one hears his name, everything involved in a formulaic masala movie comes to one's mind. Impressive dancing skills, bursting comedy, likeable romance, huge dosage of sentiments and mostly mindless action/stunt sequences. A large amount of Indians around the world aged from 6-60 form the huge fan base that he enjoys. But despite all that has been said, done and celebrated about this celebrity, many fail to understand the quality behind his superstardom and it would not be an exaggeration in saying that the actor himself too, does not.
Talking about Vijay, I have to say that I myself am a huge fan of his. His acting and dancing histrionics have taken my breath away. The very fact that a nearly 35 year-old father of two has so much zest, energy and 'youngness' is utterly impressive. But then again, a lot of things must be corrected about this celebrity if his films were to ever reach an international level that is beyond just commercial success within Tamil Nadu.
1. Selection of Scripts/Stories/Screenplay - Look at his movies over the past few years. All were commercial, typical run-of-the-mill masala potboilers. All except ATM and Sachien. And this may not be largely attributed to just Vijay's lack of taste for scripts, but also to his fan's non-acceptance of him in non-action related roles. Vijay's selection of script is largely in contrast to that of Suriya's. The contrast is Entertainment Vs Quality. This does not mean one should compromise one for the other. Both should be major aspects of a movie's success, but one should not overpower the other. When Vijay did Sachien, I thought his acting was cute, awesome and natural. Sadly, the movie bombed at the box office. But when he took on the monotonous roles in Thirupachi, Gillie and Pokkiri, they ruled the roost. Of course it is well-known that even his fans could not save him from the immensely ridiculously plotted Kuruvi, Villu and Aadi. So it must be admitted that even his fans give more importance to story than Vijay himself. So he should probably stop making movies that he thinks will and should cater to his fans, and not bank on his star power all the time. Vijay badly needs counseling on selecting the right scripts that are able to show more of acting skills rather than his larger-than-life image. And remakes are not the way to do it. The Vijay that we saw in Thullatha Manamum Thullum, Sachien and Madura needs to come back - and that too badly. Gautham Menon, Shankar, Mani Ratnam are the directors that could probably give his career a saving grace.
2. Looks, Styling, Wardrobe - Vijay's idea of fashion is highly pitiful and lousy. His sense of dressing and unkempt looks are a put off. He needs a hair stylist urgently and that too a good one. He should take dressing tips/lessons from Korean Drama Actors. Honestly, Vijay's lack of style in terms of wardrobe shows him off as anything but a superstar. He looks dirty and messy, a look that he thinks that his fans probably love or accept, but this look is so internationally unfriendly. It simply lacks standards. His dressing in the second half of Villu was stylish, but his unkempt looks cancelled this style out. He tried to put on a playboy image but simply failed to. His Ramarajan colored bellbottom pants were prevalent only in the 80's but he refuses to give them up. The ugly chest-hair and beard are all minus points. Being in Singapore and living with other races, it is hard to show off to my Chinese and Malay friends what my favorite Tamil Hero looks like because although Vijay is so strikingly youth-looking and handsome, his lack of grooming plays him out. Whereas Chinese and Malay heroes are so well-groomed even though they may not be as good-looking. This tells the lack of international standards. The title of Vijay's next movie Vettaikkaran suggests another typical commercial potboiler, with no promise of difference that he promises in every other movie before its release
3. Personality - Being a celebrity, one must be paparazzi friendly. Vijay fails in this aspect. He likes to show himself off as a reserved and quiet personality, which I think should change. Close and friendly interactions with the media are tools to career success and support. The recent video of Vijay blowing his top at a cleaner during a press meet might have sparked some curiosity about his true character - whether he is the type that can accept defeat or not. The incident had occurred because he was being questioned about the flop of Villu. And it amazes me that he, being a big star, could not see this coming because even if not for the story, so many technical aspects of Villu were illogical. The stunt sequences were just beyond belief. Especially one sequence where the speedboat goes underwater. Even three-year old kids wouldn't believe such a phenomenon.
Overall, there is a lot of things that Ilayathalapathy needs to correct about himself and his selection of films. If he is going to continue with the flow of movies with dappanguthu songs, nonsensical fight sequences, punch dialogues, disgusting kuppathu lungi dances that supposedly "SATISFY" his fans, he might not go very far. This article is written solely as my opinion and is not intended at hurting Ilayathalapathy Vijay or his die-hard fans. Nevertheless, I believe that being a celebrity, one should learn to accept criticisms as much as compliments and improve. Internationalism is the need of the hour for Vijay, and it should just not stop with his song and movie scenes that are taken overseas.

Ananda Thaandavam Movie Press Meet Stills

Posted: 09 Apr 2009 05:13 AM PDT





Ananda Thaandavam – a classic novel in motion
With Ananda Thaandavam – an Aascar Ravichandran film that was eagerly awaited by many – releasing on April 10th, its crew met with the media, briefing about their film and its X factor that separates it from the other run-of-the-mill entertainers.
The X factor: It is a film based on late writer Sujatha's novel Pirivom Santhippom, written 25 years ago with a bold theme for the then readers. Though the theme transcends time, director Gandhi Krishna has made some changes – with permission from Sujatha – while adapting the novel for silver screen seven years ago.
The Wednesday's Ananda Thaandavam press meet was a colourful event with beautiful Tamannah Bhatia, Rukmani (of Bommalattam fame), hero Siddharth, villain Rishi, director Gandhi Krishna and music director G.V. Prakash participating in it.
Anyone who listened to Tamannah speak at the meet would watch this movie more than once to check out why she was so eager to act in it! The actress talked so highly of the film, its director and described how she readily agreed to act in the film just by listening to the gist of the story! Following her, Rukmani stated that she considers her being part of this movie as one of rare chances that an artist is bestowed with in the world of cinema. Actor Rishi too had similar opinions and expressed his thankfulness to the director. Siddharth observed that acting in a film based on Sujatha's novel will be his career best highlight forever. G.V. Prakash said that no other film than Ananda Thaandavam gave his songs matching and splendid visuals and thanked the director for that.
When Gandhi Krishna spoke, he thanked the producer Aascar Ravichandran for his support and efforts to shoot the film extensively in USA, the story's backdrop. Thanks to the producer's effort and director's 2-year meticulous work in adapting the novel to screenplay, Sujatha's wonderful novel Pirivom Santhippom will come alive on silver screen.


Ash vs. Ratnam in round one!

Posted: 09 Apr 2009 04:45 AM PDT


In what's proving to be a clash of the Titans, director Mani Ratnam and acclaimed actress Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan are having a small tussel and it's all about pancake! Ratnam's reasoning is that since Ash's character has been abducted in the second-half, she shouldn't have any make-up on in an effort to show her pain and grief. The actress completely disagrees.
The set-side report is that while the exacting and strict director wants Ash to go bare faced, the beauty queen seems to be having a tough time sticking to instructions. She manages to sneak on to the set with minimal make-up. But the eagle-eyes Ratnam is quick to spot that her face has been done up. With neither of the big icons backing down, this one struggle promises to grow longer than Hanuman's tail. The film is expected to be ready for release in 2010.


Tamanna’s visits prove uplifting

Posted: 09 Apr 2009 04:42 AM PDT


The Suriya-Tamanna starrer Ayan was much expected and keeping to its expectations the film is doing well. Speaking about the film, Tamanna said that she is very happy to have bagged the role, as it has sealed an important place for her in the Tamil film industry.
Tamanna was apparently very excited about the film and wanted to know how it fared among the audience. The actress said that she wanted to see the film among the audience and hence visited a theatre in
Pollachi. Speaking to the reporters, Tamanna said that it was a very exciting experience to see the fans going in raptures for every scene including the first fight.
The actress also stated that she saw the film in a theatre near her home in Mumbai and this also proved to be a good experience because a lot of Tamilians had turned up for the show.

Posted: 09 Apr 2009 04:39 AM PDT


Director Shankar's home production, S Pictures is producing a film, titled Ananthapurathu Veedu. The film is directed by the popular television serial director Naga.

leave the theatres wishing for such a supernatural being in their homes. It is the goodness of this spirit that is highlighted in the film, he added. Ananthapurathu Veedu stars Nanda, Chaya Singh and Master Aryan.

Too much glamour, complains Sheela

Posted: 09 Apr 2009 04:36 AM PDT


Remember Sheela, the bubbly kid who played important roles in many films as a child artiste? Sheela, who is a pretty lass today, is now a heroine. We can't fail to remember a fact that Sridevi, Meena, Shalini and likes of victorious heroines were one time child artists. Though Sheela has acted in films like 'Cheena Thaana' and 'Kanna' was not much successful in Tamil for unknown reasons. Despite being a Tamilian by origin, she is concentrating on building her career in Tollywood. She is now busy currently working in one Telugu film with Junior NTR and a Kannada flick with Ajai When asked about why she is yet to grace the Tamil screens, the actress speaks with disappointment. "I am sad about not getting good roles in Tamil at all. I can act according to what the role deserves. If my role in 'Maska' needed a swim suit, I did it. But I can't do it just for the sake of it. Already, I think heroines today are indulging in too much glamour," says the young actress, who also says that a film does not become a hit because of glamour alone.

Will Murali strike Gold in 4th innings?

Posted: 09 Apr 2009 03:51 AM PDT


On the buttons, it's gonna take everyone for a guessing part whether the actor would make it successful in this second innings. It's all about Actor Murali who had been getting through colossal career in the past. His forthcoming film 'Nee Unnai Arindhal' is all set to take off for the release and audio was recently launched. Speaking on that occasion, Murali said " I have completed 25 years of my life in tinsel town.
But after every hit film I go for a big gap.. As a matter of fact, this is my 4th and now when youngsters are rocking in town, I had a great doubt whether I can succeed. At that point of time, I got to heed this beautiful script that gave me more hopes'. At the moment, Murali's son 'Adharva' has also debuted in 'Baana' that will soon hit the screens.

Sneha Vs - Kotta Srinivasa Rao-Sampath-Manoj K Jayan

Posted: 09 Apr 2009 04:26 AM PDT


Oh my goodness! This is really happening to be one such stupendous buzz across the town. 'Charlie's Angels', Small Screen series 'ALIAS' had the female protagonists going for big rounds shattering down the baddies who are males. Merely, before a long time in Kollywood there have been few actresses of that sort and the best exemplification is Vijayashanthi. Her Vijayanthi IPS is now getting remade as 'Bhavani IPS' with Sneha in lead role.
The most happening part of the film is that there are three big baddies. Well, versatile performers Kotta Srinivasa Rao, Manoj K Vijayan and Sampath are those taking on for these roles. Looks like, it would be a roller-coaster action packed roles.

What does ‘Naanayam’ means?

Posted: 09 Apr 2009 03:47 AM PDT


Capital Cinema Works is really grossing with more projects in hands. Followed by the grand success of 'Chennai 28' and 'Saroja', the production house is now simultaneously churning out 'Nanayam', 'Kungama Poovum Konjum Puraavum' and 'Aranya Kandam'. Filmmaker Sakthi S Rajan of 'Nanayam' speaks about the film. He says, "Nanayam in Tamil means not just truthfulness and honesty, but currency too… So, the entire film moves along with the same motifs".
Adding more, Sakthi says that he narrated the script to Sibiraj and within 30mins the actor accepted to don the negative role. With Prasanna taking on for the protagonist role, 'Thee' fame Raakini along with Yasmine perform female lead roles.

Geetha Krishna’s signature style

Posted: 09 Apr 2009 03:40 AM PDT

The ace director Geetha Krishna will soon roll out his upcoming film 'Nimidangal'. The director who has set a class for himself with his different style of film making touching basing with various genres will be under the spot light yet another time.
The director has to his credit quite a lot of films that were huge hits way back in the 80s. He has also been associated with stalwarts like director K. Vishwanath and Padma Shri Kamal Haasan in films like 'Saalangai Oli' and Sippikul Muthu' which gave a new dimension to the way films were made in Tamil.
The director has also made his mark in the Telugu and the Kannada film industries as well. Yet another noteworthy factor of Geetha Krishna is his choice of music composer. The director is an ardent fan of Isaygnani Illayaraja that he makes sure all his film have music from the mastero.
Now about his latest film, 'Nimidangal' is being made as a trilingual film in Tamil, Telugu as well as Kannada. The film is being produced by his production house Blue Fox Cinema. The Telugu version of this film has been titled 'Coffee Bar', and Mr. Krishna is yet to find an apt title for its Kannada version.
'Nimidangal' too will have music from Illayaraja. One more highlight of this film is the deployment of the Red Eye camera, which deploys high-end technology. Also the director has got two best people as his cinematographers. Murali, who has completed his cinematography course from a notable institute in New York; the other is the already famous M.V. Raghu.
We wish Geetha Krishna as well as the entire team of 'Nimidangal' all success!
