Vikram’s shows singers the door
Posted: 06 Feb 2009 12:57 PM CST
Not many knew Vikram could multitask - apart from the romance, fight and sentimental routines of his movies. Come Kanthaswamy, Vikram's prowess in singing will be showcased for the world to see, oops hear, he has stretched his vocal chords for 4 songs, out of the 6 that are featured in the movie's album.
It is learnt that musician Devi Sri Prasad was impressed with Vikram's ability to sing, after he sang a few rough tracks during the film's song composition in Malaysia. In less than a jiffy, it was decided that Vikram would sing 4 songs for the movie for his character. The songs, Mania, Poda Podi, Excuse Me Mr. Kanthaswamy and Kuchi Mittai are also recorded in Vikram's voice in Telugu. Besides that producer Kalaipuli Dhanu also has plans to dub the movie into few international languages including Italian, English and Spanish. Now we have no clue if the international versions will have songs. And if they do, whether Vikram sings the versions is left to anybody's imagination for now.
Kanthaswamy's audio is slated to be released in March with the movie targeting for an April release.

February indeed happens to be a fantastic month for Aarya as he has lots of celebrations in film industry. With his magnum opus 'Naan Kadavul' hitting worldwide screens today, 'Sarvam' will have its audio launched on February 14. None needs a better illustration for the best comb of Vishnuvardhan-Aarya-Yuvan Shankar Raja spelling magical treats with 'Arindhum Ariyamalum' and 'Pattiyal'. However, sources have revealed that it's a remake of Hindi film and the story is all about vengeance. If what they say is true, then the story goes this way….
Aarya and Trisha are in love…. Aarya's happy life is shattered when Trisha is murdered by J.D. Chakravarthy. Trisha's eyes are now placed for a small kid. Well, this is something we heard.

Posted: 06 Feb 2009 09:33 AM CST
The epitome of humbleness has finally opened up to vent out his opinion against the several brickbats that have been hurled at 'Slumdog Millionaire' over the past days.
A.R.Rahman, the winner of the prestigious Golden Globe and a strong contender for the upcoming Academy Awards said, "If creative people want to comment on a film, and if I were a director, I would make another film and prove my point and say this is what India is about".
Supporting the film the music wizard said that the only thing that mattered to him is that he felt so good and extremely positive after watching the film.
Rahman hailed the movie for depicting the reality and also beautifully showcasing the way Indian economy has grown over the years.
Praising director Danny Boyle, Rahman said that he loved the film maker's vision of the screenplay and the artistic quality of 'Slumdog Millionaire'.
Thinking in a broader perspective the composer added "For me it is not about India alone. It is about the human spirit which triumphs and this could have happened in China or Brazil or anywhere else".

It's grave injustice: Nayantara
Posted: 06 Feb 2009 09:31 AM CST
'Nayantara, who was issued a red card by the Tamil Film Producers Council and the South India Film Actors Association on Wednesday, has reportedly said she has been targeted and that grave injustice has been committed against her.
Nayantara was issued a ban at a joint meeting of the two bodies following a complaint lodged by Subash Chandra Bose, the producer of 'Paiya'. The extreme step was taken as Nayantara refused to return the advance amount she had received for 'Paiya'.
On the ban, she reportedly said, 'this is injustice and I never told Lingusamy that I am opting out of the film. I had received an amount of Rs 20 lakhs from him as advance for 'Paiya' and gave dates from September 2008'.
'This decision was taken without consulting me' Nayantara declared.
The dusky actress who is currently shooting for a Telugu film said, 'I asked Nadigar Sangam for help in order to sort out this matter and now they too have turned against me'.
Interestingly, the ban may not have any impact on Nayantara (at least for the time being) because she has reportedly committed movies in other languages and is expected to be busy with them till the end of this year.
However, the Producers Council has said in its statement that it would request the producers' associations in other languages to cooperate with them and not sign Nayantara for any further films.
I had to waste three months of my time waiting for 'Paiya' to begin. Unfortunately, it was postponed. Will they compensate my loss?' she asked.
