No Tamil films for Asin

Of the five movies she has worked on, four of them belong to the 100 crore-club. And Asin, who have been concentrating on Bollywood now, seems unfazed. In a handy guide a rough chat, she tells us her tackle multi-starrers and her future plans…Four movies within the 100 – crore club. How does it feel?(laughs) I guess Aamir and that i (the Ghajini pair) are the founding members of this club. Jokes apart, greater than jubilee run on the BO, the film’s success is set by its collection. And I’m happy that four of my movies have found place within the club. It shows how much the audience just like the effort you may have installed. As an artist, I do my job and leave the rest to the audience.

But, unlike in south, you've been doing only multi-starrers or films during which you don’t appear to have much to do…In south, multi-starrers are a rarity. But in B-Town, they're almost the norm. And anyway, I don’t mind doing such films. They're fun to work on. I sign a movie only when I know what sort of scope my character has. So, I don’t feel insecure or worry about being upstaged.

So, does that mean you'll work only on commercial potboilers?Of course not. I'D care to do well-etched characters in Hindi as well, like how I did in south. But, my plan is to do commercial entertainers for now as they offer you maximum reach. Once I’ve delivered hits and made a mark for myself, I WILL BE ABLE TO start doing character-driven films throughout the commercial format.

Have you signed any film in Tamil?I don’t wish to repeat the characters I'VE done to this point there. So, unless and until I AM GETTING something exciting, I don’t think I CAN sign any.


Rose wants Vishnu to be her hero

Rose Venkatesan, who rose to popularity through her television show Ippadikku Rose, is ready to bloom as a filmmaker — she is going to have the honor of being India’s first sex-changed transgender to wield the megaphone for a full-fledged feature film. Titled Cricket Scandal, Rose has taken match-fixing as her debut subject.At the launch of her dream project, Rose unfolded to DC in an exclusive. “I have always dreamt of turning into an actor and director.

Somehow, storytelling interests me so much. And today, it has taken shape,” she starts her conversation. Quiz her if creating a film is that simple and she or he replies, “I did a course in direction in Loyola College. Also, I had worked with National Award winner Vetri Maaran for some time. I ASSUME my passion to make good films will take me places.

” Why this controversial topic for her first film? “Initially, I BELIEVED I'D make a movie according to transgender problems — on the same time, making it a mass entertainer.

I was hearing stories from my friends about how they've been losing heavily on account of match-fixing and cricket betting through the IPL seasons.

I thought this may be a super subject — exposing the opposite side of the glitzy affair with a fictional account. But I'VE also touched upon transgender issues here,” she explains.

Apparently, Rose plays the feminine lead – that of a transsexual bar dancer. The tale is ready the connection between her and the cricket captain of 1 of the IPL teams, and the next controversies which can be raked up.

Did she take a leaf out of real life events — a la Dhoni and Lakshmi Rai’s alleged affair? She laughs and acknowledges it to be a good suggestion. “Thanks for giving me tips — I had not considered that till now,” she replies lightheartedly.

So, are we able to expect a real-life cricket player to play the male protagonist? Or does she have some other actor in mind? Rose smiles, “I am considering actor Vishnu, who I FEEL is apt for the role.

I haven’t spoken to him as yet. By my saying this, he will even turn down the offer. Never mind. Vishnu is not just a perfect cricketer who played brilliantly inthe recent CCL, but in addition fits the role of the skipper that I'VE conceived.”

Since the Indian Premiere League involves foreign players as well, the movie produced by Senthil Kumar may be primarily in English, and later, may be dubbed in Tamil and Telugu. Rose is planning to rope in aspiring actors and technicians to be a part of the forged and crew.

She reveals that she could be approaching big stars in K’town for a celeb cricket match — as a part of the promotional activities for the film.

Rose has strategically planned to finish Cricket Scandal before the start of the following IPL edition, and topremiere it at some of the international film festivals in 2013.

Janani will next be seen in debutant director Aslam’s Paagan, a romantic comedy.

Karthi has apparently stated that “Saguni had mixed reaction, the audience thought it was a political story like 80′s films and was on the lookout for something different.”

The actor also looked as if it would have said, “If the film has not reached the predicted level, I take blame for it.” Interestingly, the makers of the film have advertised the movie as a box-office hit while the controversy about it's not so good.

This is being much appreciated within the film industry because it takes numerous courage to return out and admit it. If that is any indication, Karthi surely has some distance to go!


Prasanna’s Prakash Raj link

Prasanna recently shot with Prakash Raj and is excited about it! The actor tweeted, ‘It’s an important day for me. .. After such a lot of years am shooting with my godfather Prakash Raj.

Amala is back again

It's said she is making a return and is donning a key role in Sekhar Kammula’s ‘Life Is Beautiful’ (Telugu) that has newcomers within the lead roles.Sources have it that Amala and Shriya Saran are playing essential roles within the film.If one goes down the years, Amala used to be a number one actress in South India before she settled for marital bliss after tying the knot with top star Akkineni Nagarjuna.

An actor accidentally: Anjali Patil

Here’s one more name from the north who's eyeing south Indian films. Anjali Patil, who has done independent cinema like Delhi in a Day, is awaiting the discharge of her Telugu-Malayalam bilingual.“Acting came to me accidentally. I happened to be at an audition for an indie film, once I was studying drama direction. And then, because the saying goes, the remainder is history,” says Anjali.

The actress, whose Sri Lankan film might open the Toronto International Film Festival, could also be considering a couple of Tamil film offers that experience come her way. “One of them particularly is exciting and it again is a festival film. Though, there’s twice the responsibility on an actor after we do a movie in a language we don’t know,” she says.

Taapsee’s brand value rises!

In the arena of films, no publicity is bad publicity and nothing sells better than controversy. The newest example to this adage is actress Taapsee, who after a promising debut with Aadukalam, didn't build on it with films that were disastrous on the BO.However, the new spat between actors Mahat Raghavendra and Manchu Manoj as a result of the actress at an individual party within the city has now made her the go-to girl for advertisers. Taapsee have been reported to was dating both these actors someday and it's alleged that may be this factor that ended in the fist fight that led Mahat to lodge a complaint against Manoj.

Recently, a Chennai-based textile and jewelry group had approached the actress to be their brand ambassador to construct at the actress’s increase in exposure as a result of Mahat-Manchu episode. We hear that the actress had asked for cool Rs 1 crore (almost 5 times her previous brand value) as her remuneration and the gang surprisingly agreed.

Taapsee is currently playing the second one lead in Vishnu Vardhan’s next film which stars Ajith and Nayanthara within the lead.


Prasanna-Sneha on a roll

While Kollywood has had film stars getting married within the fraternity, most of them appear to be conservative about their appearances after marriage.

The couple also recently walked the ramp for Mumbai-based designer Riyaz Ganji, who made the couple sport beautiful maroon and gold creations from his latest collection.

While the opposite K-Town couples like Ajith-Shalini or Suriya-Jyothika has been rather low-key after their marriages, it kind of feels like Prasanna and Sneha are changing the rage. They’re making the utmost relating to endorsement deals and appearances. In addition they don’t turn away from a bit of PDA, when they’re seen together at lounges or in public events.

With Sneha also proclaiming that she won't really take a break from her acting, it looks as if this marriage might lead to a transformation within the Kollywood pairs. And from the choice of deals the duo have signed on, it doesn’t appear to be the advertisers are complaining in regards to the change either.


Seeman to marry on October 1

Actor/director Seeman, who calls himself a Tamil ‘activist’ and is the founding father of Naam Tamilar Iyakkam, is within the news once again.The filmmaker have been within the thick of controversy after actress Vijayalakshmi alleged that Seeman ditched her after having an affair along with her and promising to marry her.

Her husband Alex was also a LTTE activist who died in an aerial attack in 2007. In step with sources, Seeman met Yarlmathi within the Vanni region of Sri Lanka many years ago during one in all his trips to the island nation and fell for her beauty.

Thalaivan Irukkindran is produced by Aascar Ravichandran. The Nayagan star had earlier told that he was making the movie on corruption.

Director Vasanth is understood for lacing nice message in his films. Prior to now all his films mostly family emotional drama had a message or two for the masses.Now he's busy making Moondru Per Mondru Kathal.

Vasanth, who's currently making Moondru Paer Moondru Kadhal, has banned use of plastic at the sets of his film.

Vasanth said so as to shoot in Ooty, he came to understand in regards to the strict ban on plastics within the hill station.

He was apparently impressed and inspired to take a choice not to use plastic at the sets of his films.

Generally people would expect message within the films, but Vasanth who has concern for the surroundings has gone one step ahead and managed to show a lesson or two even while shooting.


Hansika’s is a miniscule role: Anjali

When two actresses are in a movie, it usually results in a case of oneupmanship (or should we are saying onewomanship, in such cases). Naturally, both the actresses will claim that they've the key role within the film and that's what is going on relating to Settai, which stars both Anjali and Hansika.Settai is the Tamil remake of Delhi Belly and has Arya reprising Imraan Khan’s role from the unique. Santhanam and Premgi Amaren play the bumbling friends. The film also has Anjali playing the role of a reporter and when the actress was posed on question on who had the larger role within the film, she replied that it was her, who played the crucial character.

“I play Arya’s pair within the film, so, undoubtedly, I'VE BEEN given major screen time,” the actress said.

She also clarified that her role is rather a stylish one and a complete contrast to all of the roles she has done to this point. “While many think that I’m doing a comic book role at the lines of my recent Kalakalappu, I play a modern-day reporter within the film.”

We hear that the actress has shot for a hot lip-lock scene with Arya.

Now, Simbu sings for Srikanth

Much like his dad T Rajendar, actor Simbu is a multi-tasker. While he's busy shooting for Vaalu (that is planned as a Diwali release), and dealing on Vettai Mannan and Podaa Podi, he also finds time to sing for the flicks of his friends.The actor recently recorded a song Nachukku Nachukku… for the Srikanth-starrer Ethiri Enn 3. The film has music by Dharan, who's also the composer for Podaa Podi, and it's because of this that STR agreed to lend his voice for Srikanth.

We hear thon the film’s director Ramkumar has shot the song in an extravagant manner. “The song is picturised on Srikanth and the film’s heroine Poonam Bajwa, and we constructed eight different sets at the cost of over Rs 40 lakh for it. This kuthu song is certain to capture the hearts of the youth,” says a source from the film’ unit.


Ajith to behave in Sridevi’s film?

The latest buzz within the industry is that actor Ajith have been approached to do a cameo in Sridevi’s comeback film, English Vinglish.A source says, “The film, directed by Gauri Shinde and produced by Balki, is being made in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi. While Amitabh Bachchan has done a guest appearance within the Hindi version, the makers wanted an equally big star from the south for the Tamil and Telugu versions.”

The buzz is, they first approached Rajinikanth for the character, as he has already worked with Sridevi in different films. “But he was unable to shoot then because he was recuperating after a bout of illness. The following option was Ajith. However, he hasn’t shot for the film yet.”

Interestingly, Ajith has made cameos in different films for his friends. He even appeared as Suseema in Santosh Sivan’s Bollywood flick, Asoka.


Suzhal Movie Online Review

Suzhal, made by a number of latest comers, comes with the tagline ‘it isn't the way you play the sport, it’s how the game plays you’.The film is set 10 college friends and the way a motorcycle accident involving one among his friends changes the lifetime of the protagonist.

Directed by R Jeyakumar, the idea appears to be inspired by Russian mafia games. Though one might need seen the similar in numerous Hollywood films and the speculation of deadly gaming isn't new to Indian cinema, the director has tried to present it a neighborhood touch with an emotional connect. The plot appears clichéd within the first half with the regular college scenes, friendship and weekend tours. However, within the second half the film picks up pace and moves on as a thriller. It provides some twists, turns and surprises too. The twist within the climax is laudable and sends across a powerful message.

Atul Kulkarni steals the show together with his restrained acting. The film’s hero is debutant Farish and has done a neat job. Pratap Pothen because the drug addict Dani appears only in a couple of scenes, but lives the nature. The music by LV Ganesh is refreshingly melodious and the song ‘Solla Vanthen’ lingers within the mind. The cinematography is by James Krish, a former associate of Ravi K Chandran. The film have been extensively shot in Kerala and Puducherry and his camera work has captured the gorgeous locales well. The editing by Lenin is slick.

One gets bored of seeing the similar college friends and village scenes within the first half. After a secular first half, the second one half gives some relief though.

The songs are placed randomly and the costumes within the song sequences aren't done aesthetically. The dearth of lip sync is another element that the director will need to have sorted.

The large collection of characters within the first half didn't give the artistes enough scope to showcase their acting skills. By the top of the film, only the characters of Atul and Farish stay in mind.

Overall you are feeling that the script must have been somewhat tighter and the primary half will need to have been better.Verdict: Old wine in new bottle

No politics please says Karthi

There are many actors in Kollywood who've taken up politics after they became famous. MGR, Jayalalitha, Sarath Kumar, Kushbu, Napoleon, Vadivelu and others have made a reputation for themselves on this planet of politics.Karthi’s latest flick – Saguni – was also based around politics. The actor plays a person who knows how you can manipulate politicians for the great of the folk and he himself becomes fascinated by politics. Fans of Karthi apparently now expect him to go into politics. However the actor has apparently told people who he has no such intention. The actor is worked up being an actor and a family man and doesn't wish to become involved within the political world.

Now Karthi is operating with Venkat Prabhu and it sort of feels the director desired to write some political dialogues for his Biryani. Karthi it's rumoured told him to not include one of these dialogues. It seems like the actor doesn't want anyone to think he’s desirous about politics!


Maalai Pozhudhin Mayakathilaey Movie Online Review

It has become a trend to have popular lyrics because the title for the movies in Tamil. Maalai Pozhuthin Mayakathile (MPM) is one such film with a lyrical title.Directed by Narayan Nagendra Rao, the film seeks to prove how delicate, people’s lives may also be. The film has a couple of characters and hero Aree and new comer Subha play the lead roles. The director has tried to convey a love story in response to the lead pair’s two hours that they spend in a coffee shop on a rainy evening. The film tries to explore even the smallest of joys and the sadness that trivial issues can bring forth people’s lives. Rain plays a vital part within the script and Ilayaraja’s songs which can be played within the backdrop, add to the romantic setting.

Hero Aree exudes confidence and is a delight to observe. However, he must work on his dancing skills, as is obvious even within the only a few dance scenes shown within the film. Subha because the aspiring designer student is average, but one fails to appreciate as to why did the director want the heroine to talk in anglicized Tamil. Balaji because the restless husband, Tejaswini because the dejected wife and Panchu Subbu because the coffee shop manager do justice to their roles.

The film’s music is by Achu and the lyrics are by Rohini. The song Oh Female offspring has already topped the charts. Yen Uyire is another number which haunts the listener for long. The background score, especially the violin interludes, are extremely pleasing and praise worthy. Gopi Amarnath has cranked the camera and has captured the rain beautifully. But because the director has tried to inform a narrative throughout the four walls of a coffee shop, he appears to be very restricted.

Though the speculation could also be unique and exciting, it’s the weak script and slow pace of the movie that hampers the progress of the film. Also the documentary feel inside the film becomes irksome. The characterization lacks depth and the film is overloaded with philosophical lines and preachy dialogues, making a negative impact at the overall viewing experience.

Overall it's an attempt that didn't hit the proper note.

Verdict: Coffee that lacks the aroma.


Naan Ee re-released!

Naan Ee, directed by Rajamouli and starring Nani, Sudeep and Samantha, appears to be having a dream run on the BO.

The film, which released on July 6 in additional than 200 screens in Tamil Nadu, continues to run in additional than 180 screens, even in its fourth week.A trade source says, “Before its release, many had written off Naan Ee as a dubbed film (of Eega) without a star power. But after the release, everyone unanimously praised it and wholeheartedly agreed that it’s a straight Tamil film made keeping in mind the nativity and native sensitivity in mind. Within the last 10 years, no movie in TN has come again into the primary screens after a three- week run. Kasi theatre in Chennai has re-released the film after an opening of 2 weeks. Within the fourth week, Santham theatre has commenced screening the film and lots of theatres across TN have shifted Naan Ee from small screens to very large screens in its fourth week.”

Now, that’s what's called a dream run!
