Gnana Kirukkan is one that treats all people equally without reference to their caste, creed, and fiscal status. He's a selfless man who lives for others. I'M really kicked up concerning the project.”

Actress Meenal’s sister Sendhi, who has done a couple of key roles in films, might be seen opposite Balaji within the film.Thambi Ramaiah will play a vital role and Mollywood actress Arcaha Kavi and debutant Jagaraj also are a part of the lead cast.

Mixed reactions over Gautham Menon-Vijay’s dropped Yohan

Vijay and Gautham Menon’s dropped flick Yohan: Adhyayam Ondru has caused numerous disappointment for the Tamil audience. The movie, which started being within the news from the day it was announced, was officially shelved for some reasons without making any progress.

The fans of Vijay and Gautham Menon, who had high expectations after the initial promotions after the photoshoot, were unhappy with the improvement. Their hopes were shattered when the director finally admitted last week that the project was not happening.

It was said that the actor, who agreed to work with him, was not pleased with the overall storyline and that made the duo, who were purported to work inKaakha Kaakha, to part ways. It has garnered mixed response from Oneindia readers. While some have expressed their anguish over Vijay for opting out, a couple of have pointed their fingers at Gautham for failing to live as much as his word and merely promoting the film.

Here, we're bringing you one of the crucial comments posted by the audience.

PremnathVijay has missed an excellent & exciting filim Yohan directed by Gautham Menon.

Nirmal JainVijay decision to reject the script appears to be absolutely right.

SaraA good decision by a fair director.

KrishnaGautham gave two advertisements and publicised so much in newspapers. He mentioned foreign locations and Hollywood heroine. Some of these were published but finallu the film is dropped. What nonsense is this?

BabuPlease do a movie with Vijay. I'M a large fan of you (Gautham sir) and Vijay.

Gopi AnandGreat disappointment.

KrishVijay doesn't rely on any director. Gautam is also great but he should make the film keeping Vijay fans in mind.

SriniIf that is true, then it’s a large loss for Vijay than GVM, as he's a master film maker and we fans always desired to see this combo to work on a project. I hate the comment “VJ fans don’t like a lot of these movies” as I'M also keen on him and we wish him to do different roles. We wish to work with good directors like GVM.

AnishVijay plz give dates to Gautham Menon. We're looking forward to this combo.

Thiruthani Movie Online – Music Review

Perarasu and Bharath are back on screen after a hiatus. They've promised an explosive action entertainer with Perarasu himself in command of the music department besides. Sunaina is the feminine interest in Thiruthani. Now, an analysis of the music …  

Nee Enakku Nee Enakku…Singers: Karthik and Saindhavi

This is a melodic duet with an old-world feel. The orchestration may be dated. In spite of two capable singers, the song doesn’t make an impact way to its total disconnect with the present trend.  

Vaanavedikkai Vedida…Singer: Tippu

Right from its start, we all know what to anticipate. A run-of-the-mill kuthu number with the country vocals of Tippu. Supposedly it's the hero’s introduction song with references to Perarasu’s earlier movies within the lyrics. The hero also advises his audience about good virtues through this number. Nothing else to put in writing about. 

Adi Vaanaville…Singers: Unni Menon and Chinmayi

This number has classical shades and is melodious evidently. Unni Menon’s vocals are as silky as ever; Chinmayi is the very best foil to him. The flute and the slight mridangam, tavil touches are good. The tune isn’t entirely new, however the song passes muster as a result of its melody. 

Yamma Yamma…Singers: T Rajendar and Anuradha Sriram

Another song that goes at the expected path, right from the beginning. A NORMAL kuthu number again with casual lyrics, energetic vocals and loud percussions! 

Vannarapettai…Singers: Tippu and Krishnaveni Perarasu

Yet again the similar template continues. Silly lyrics, heavy percussions and rustic singing! Forgettable. 

Raja Raja Chola…Singers: Suchitra

Perarasu has attempted to give a catchy duet with some style, but falls short here too. He has tried to infuse some rap portions and sexy saxophone bits, but to no avail.

Verdict: Perarasu’s attempts at turning a music director have met with forgettable results. Except one passable melody song, the remaining are only less than scratch. But these songs might make the rounds in village ‘thiruvizhas’ way to the bevy of ‘kuthu’ numbers.


Asin’s love for Marathi

Asin is one actress who likes to dub her own for her films be it Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam or Hindi. Now she plays a Marathi girl in a single of her forthcoming venture in Bollywood.Guess what the actress had done? She has hired Marathi tutor and learn the language. Asin is eager on delivering the language without flaws. One hears that the crew of the film is terribly surprised by the actress’ commitment towards her craft.

Asin , a well-liked name in Tamil cinema is now a hectic bee in Bollywood where she is a part of some big ventures. She is having a gala run in Bollywood.


Mugamoodi sequel in 3D?

Dhananjayan Govind, the producer of Mugamoodi has numerous faith within the film and goes all out to advertise it. He was filled with praise for Jiiva, Narain, Mysskin, Pooja, music director K and Nasser. He has said that the film will do wonders for all their careers and get them a fair name. With the film releasing on Friday, Dhananjayan is content to depart the fate of the film to the audience.He is confident that the film could be well received and is planning a sequel to the film to be made on a miles larger scale and possibly in 3D format. The producer was using microblogging and social networking sites to publicize his film and via this medium he has asked his followers to present their opinions after seeing the film in order that he can take his plans for a sequel further.


Mega felicitation for MSV today

Legendary music composers M S Viswanathan and Ramamurthy might be felicitated at a grand event being organised by Jaya TV in Chennai later today. The function can be presided over by Tamilnadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa.The felicitation function will assemble all musicians and Tamil film personalities.

He had worked with just about all artistes from MGR, Sivaji, Gemini, till Rajnikanth and Kamal Haasan.A grand musical show during which songs from films of MSV and Ramamurthy could be played at the occasion.


Ajith-Vishnuvardhan’s film titled ‘Surangani’ ?

It seems that the much awaited title of Ajith-Vishnuvardhan’s film was released. The film was titled Surangani and the primary look poster of the film has also been released. However, this news is unbelievable because the logo of Eros International production house was placed within the first look poster.This means that the brand new poster may well be cooked up by some gossip mongers and nothing can also be confirmed until we hear it from the official sources of the film.

Surangani has has Ajith playing a hacker besides Arya, Tapasee Pannu, Nayanthara in pivotal roles. Tollywood star Rana Daggubati might be creating a special cameo appearance. The film has managed to be within the news fairly often because the makers have kept the hype alive by releasing the images Ajith’s hardcore fitness regime every now and then.Produced by AM Rathnam under Sri Surya Movies banner, the film has Yuvan Shankar Raja’s music, PS Vinod’s cinematography, writer duo Subha’s dialogues and Naanni’s editing.


Rajinikanth-Kamal Hassan coming together again!

Will Rajinikanth and Kamal Hassan ever come together again? Could also be yes, says reports. Efforts are secretly being made and there are probabilities of them coming together again.Grapevine has it that AVM Saravanan has made an try to bring the living icons of Tamil cinema together again. Rajini, Sarvanan and Kamal had met on the producer’s place recently they usually shared their need to join hands again.

AVM Saravanan reportedly came to conclusion that it's only possible by K Balachander, the mentor of Rajinikanth and Kamal Hassan, to bring them together. It's noted that the trio had earlier delivered hits like Ninaithale Inikkum and Thillu Mullu.

However, Pushpa Kandasamy, daughter of K Balachander, has expressed her happiness over the theory but her father has no plans of directing a movie with the superstars as of now. Within the present situation, it's unlikely to bring Rajini-Kamal, who've also acted together in Apoorva Raagangal, Vayasu Pilichindi, Anthuleni Katha, etc.Currently, Rajinikanth is busy with Kochadaiyaan and his next project can be its sequel Rana. Whereas, Kamal is gearing up for the discharge of Vishwaroopam and he has agreed to do a movie with Aascar Ravichandran.


Nayanthara turns down Mani Ratnam’s offer?

Mani Ratnam and Nayanthara.

This is the newest from Mani Ratnam’s table. The prolific filmmaker have been busy along with his next flick Kadalfor the previous couple of months.The movie which deals with Rameswaram fishermen has Gautham Karthik, son of ace actor Karthik and Thulasi, daughter of yesteryear glam actress Radha, who has replaced Samantha within the lead.

The movie also features Action King Arjun in an important character and Arvindh Swamy playing an important role.

Now, consistent with sources Mani has approached Nayanthara for a task in Kadal. The pretty girl who was within the comeback mode had considered it for a while.

An insider revealed that Nayan was offered a vital role opposite Arjun however the former was wondering if she needed to take in the offer since she was working with a few films with big heroes including Ajith.

The only luring thing was the ‘Mani Factor’ but she was hesistant about her character within the film. The latest, we hear, is that she has turned down the offer.

Arjun has told this newspaper earlier that he was not essaying a task with grey shades as rumoured! “It’s a formidable role. Excluding ‘Mani’ factor, what prompted me to just accept this flick was its unusual characterisation”, he had said.


Glittering twin launches

Sundarapandian Movie Online – Music Review

Sundarapandian

Sasikumar is back in action because the actor and producer of this flick which co-stars Lakshmi Menon of ‘Kumki’ fame. NR Raghunanthan of ‘Thenmerku Paruvakaatru’ fame has composed the songs. Has he delivered the goods? 

Kondaadum Manasu …Singer: Anand AravindakshanLyrics: Mohan Rajan

The album starts with a country kuthu number which doesn’t have anything new to supply. It seems like a standard hero introduction song with some glorifying and upbeat lyrics. The native percussions are expectedly loud while the nadaswaram is prominent. The lead singer is spirited while the feminine chorus is clichéd.

Rekkai Mulaiththen …  Singers: G.V.Prakash Kumar and Shreya GhoshalLyrics: Madhan Karky

This duet is fast moving and decent to hear. The harmonica and flute instrumentals add a cute little touch to this peppy number which has a likeable percussive loop too. G.V.Prakash’s name at the credits becomes the USP of the number; his high pitch portions stand out. Might visit the charts.

Nenjukkulle …Singer: SaindhaviLyrics: Thamarai

The percussions of this song are similar to ‘Thom Karuvil’ from Rahman’s Star and ‘Veppamaram’ from Saamy. The lyrics speak about a female’s craving for her love. Saindhavi is adequate for this track while the violin instrumentals stand out.

Kadhal Vandhu …Singer: HaricharanLyrics: Na. Muthukumar

This is another love song with rustic percussions and local instruments like nadaswaram. Nothing new to supply here too with Haricharan singing at the next pitch in comparison to his previous numbers. Run-of-the mill finish to the album.

Verdict: Except the track sung by G.V.Prakash and written by Madhan Karky, the remainder of the songs are nothing much to rave about. On screen, Sasikumar’s screen presence can assist the songs a bit.

‘I’m not being considered by Tamil filmmakers’

The Mirugam actress is now courting trouble in Mollywood with manager issues. In a candid chat with CT, Padmapriya says that her achievements speak volumes about her work and that she’s an intensive professional. Listed here are some excerpts from the conversation…We haven’t seen you in Tamil films for a protracted time, why?I haven’t seen myself in Tamil films for long too. (Smiles)) I’m not likely to mention I'VE BEEN hearing scripts and you'll hear from me soon. Let me be blatantly honest – I haven’t heard from anybody and that i don’t think anybody is actually considering me for anything. Why? Well that’s something that beats me too! You desire to point the question to the makers. It’s a director-driven medium and that i like to be their puppet but they must draw the strings otherwise I'M lifeless. (Smiles)

Is Malayalam cinema providing you with better roles?No, it’s unlike that. Tamil has given me an experience that’s extremely rich from Vishnu’sPattiyal to Chimbudevan’s Irrumbakottai, to even a small significant role in Ram’sThangameengal. The variety of flicks I'VE done in Tamil amazes me. Yes, I'VE had more commercial success in Malayalam but that doesn’t mean I can’t do with more in Tamil. I’d cherish to do more Tamil films of any genre if and in the case of me.

What is the newest issue regarding your manager?I’m not the one one that has a manager in Malayalam and my manager deals with other successful artists within the same language. Because the issue is with the association, I don’t need to comment. When the fitting time comes, a media conversation in this can also be held.

Why do you appear to get caught in controversies…starting from director Samyslapping you to the present manager problem…Why don’t you have a look at it this fashion – I'VE done 45 films across six languages and my wiki page scares me. I’m not being boastful. My achievements can be impossible without the makers and the audience. I BELIEVE lucky being where I'M though it'd be nice to be luckier on controversies! I’ve never been associated with a co-star or director, never had drunken stupors or been disrespectful of a producer’s position. I don’t have parents intruding in filmmaking affairs and so forth. I’m a qualified and prefer to have a look at myself that way. Why don’t you ask an Adoor or Shaji N Karun what they believe of me at work after which see the contradiction? You will discover your answers!

You are a skilled actress who has won many awards, do you're thinking that such issues will affect your career?I don’t find out about my career but it surely definitely affects my mental health. The one philosophy that I’m not confused about in life is love. I don’t love to hurt people whoever or whatever they are…. cinema is a unique creation and its process have to be celebrated.Are you somebody who lives life by yourself terms?When I USED TO BE 15, my uncle told me in-dependence is ‘independence’. We’re all a unit of nature, we can’t break that …the flower blooms when it has to, the thorns grow once they have to…I don’t think any people can live our life in our own terms, and if we predict we're, we are fooling ourselves.

Are you trying to do any more B-Town films?I’m a Punjabi kuddi and Hindi involves me naturally as a language. Doing more Hindi films would be brilliant but I'M seeking to doing more films…..more the merrier!

A lyric-less song for Shanthnoo and Ineya

Director Thangar Bachan is worked up about his forthcoming film, Ammavin Kaipesi.

18 Vayasu Movie Online – Review

Thanks to the success of Renigunta, director Pannerselvam has carved the niche for himself as someone who treads the unchartered territories. First it was young criminals and their lives and now it’s the tale of a mentally unstable teenager – with a bizarre mental condition – and his love story. He brings Johnny back from Renigunta but otherwise the tale depends upon some lesser known actors who've kind of pulled it off without many glitches.

Rather than the performances, which might be largely unobjectionable, it’s the tale that makes one squirm of their seats. The logical loopholes are only too many and the tale slips into the depths of unconvincing drivel soon after it commences leaving no single character within the movie to root for. Thus, despite Johnny’s earnest performance and Gayathri’s endearing smile remain the one remnants of this psycho-romance film.

Pannerselvam imagines the film’s result in have a peculiar mental condition; the young man seems to radically change into any animal that may be in his proximity and exhibits the respective animal’s behavior. And he acquired the condition after a dismal childhood that saw his loving father committing suicide on account of his disloyal mother. The disloyal mother goes directly to marry the similar man with whom she was cheating on her husband. Appalled by her behavior her son slaughters her and her paramour.

He falls in love simultaneously and despite his condition, desires to elope with the woman to the jungle as some way of fleeing the repressing conditions. Parts of the movie are harking back to the Kamal heavyweight psychological romance Guna. Only that the tale and the performances don't seem to be as persuasive, way to the slipshod research by the director.

Johnny, who plays the mentally disturbed lead of the film, has improved miles from his previous performance in Renigunta. Although he has done exertions to convince you that he's a sick teenager short of psychiatric help, he runs the danger of being typecast if he continues to make a choice movies that put him at an edge.

Gayathri, the film’s lead, is a petite young girl who seems to be able to act. She mostly has to slide into the surface of a damsel in distress and to that extent she has done an excellent job. The opposite characters within the plot, performed by debut actors, have all filled of their shoes well with whatever was thrust upon them. Another actor who stands proud is Rohini, as a psychiatrist, although the writing of her character is sketchy and leaves many unanswered questions.

But Yuvarani, because the evil, lusty and disloyal mother who doesn’t give two hoots for responsibilities, takes the cake. Her malevolence runs as a root inside the movie and engenders hatred so huge that it’s hard to miss. Perhaps that’s the success of her characterization and the director has achieved a well rounded character while writing it. That’s to not say the role Isn't without its flaws, they're just ignored when Yuvarani acts them out. Remainder of the technical aspects of the movie, including camera, music and editing rank above average.

If you don't mind watching an odd little love story, 18 Vayasu is your thing. But when you’re not up for a gloomy love story, give this one a miss.Verdict: Psycho-romance love story!

Vijay in another blockbuster remake?

Salman Khan’s Ek Tha Tiger (ETT) is already the second one biggest blockbuster in Bollywood history and still it is just 10 days old on the box-office. There are already rumors in regards to the Tamil and Telugu remakes of ETT.Generally Salman makes his films in accordance with Southern hits but now it's the reverse as there may be stiff competition to buy ETT’s Tamil remake rights. Editor Mohan has supposedly purchased the Tamil remake rights and his son Jayam Raja might direct this one, given his expertise in handling remakes.

None as opposed to Vijay might fill the shoes of Salman, because the Indian RAW agent sent on a mission to eire. Vijay and Raja have already worked together in Velayudham. Official updates are awaited in this. Till then the guessing game would continue.


Tapasee gushes about Ajith’s film

Tapasee has become choosy in relation to Tamil films, after her movie Aadukalam bagged a countrywide Award followed by the success of Vanthaan Vendraan. Though she acted in a sequence of Telugu movies within the recent times, the actress turned too cautious before giving a nod to any Tamil movie, as she desired to maintain the similar momentum. Now, she is all set to return to Kollywood with Ajith Kumar’s next film directed by Vishnuvardhan.The actress, who's making her debut in Bollywood Chashme Baddoor, has spread out at the upcoming film and shared her excitement with a number one daily. Tapasee has said that she has a fair role in the Ajith Kumar starrer movie. Although it is a multi-starrer film, the new and happening lass has an even role within the film, as her character is vital within the story. In fact, Tapasee believes that she is lucky to have bagged the project.

Tapasee is playing the role of a journalist within the flick. She isn't just learning Tamil but additionally closely following television journalists to be informed their manners. However, it's also noted that Suman Ranganath could also be playing the role of a journalist in the movie, which also features Nayantara, Arya, Mahesh Manjrekar, Atul Kulkarni and Kishore within the important roles.


Shankar and his ‘du’ sentiment

Shankar, the showman of Tamil cinema, is busy along with his next film, I, featuring Vikram and Amy Jackson within the lead.Produced at a staggering cost of Rs 140 crore by Aascar Ravichandran, the music was composed by A.R. Rahman. The title of the Telugu version is Manoharudu.

In Tamil, I means beauty, king and vulnerability while Manoharudu means handsome guy. Shankar has an affinity for titles ending with ‘du’ in Tollywood.

Titles of a lot of his earlier Telugu hits also end with ‘du’ — Premikudu (Kaadhalan),Okay Okkadu (Mudhalvan), Bharatheeyu-du (Indian) and Aparichudu (Anniyan).

While P.C. Sriram is behind the camera, we hear that Shankar is in search of one more heroine for the film.


Sonu Sood plays brother to Shruti Hassan in Prabhu Deva film

Shruti Hassan who started out her career as a glamorous action loving girl in Bollywood with films like Luck and Dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji, is ready to play the demure girl in Hindi (after the success of Dabangg Telugu remake) under Prabhu Deva’s direction.The film is the remake of his own Telugu flick Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana, which had Trisha and Siddharth within the leads. The film was also made in Tamil as Unakkum Enakkum with Jayam Ravi and Trisha again.

The Hindi remake will introduce producer Kumar Taurani’s son Girish Taurani because the male lead, is alleged to have roped in Sonu Sood to play Shruti Hassan’s brother ( played by Srihari in Telugu, while Prabhu in Tamil).

Earlier many actors were considered for the role, but Prabhu Deva was firm to rope in sexy looking villain Sonu Sood on this emotional role we hear.


Wait! Gautham Menon has fresh plans for Vijay

For all those audience, who're disappointed withthe news of Vijay and Gautham Menon’s Yohan: Adhyayam Ondru getting shelved, here's a surprising piece of knowledge that might lead them to happy. Wait! Though the proposed project could have been dropped, the filmmaker has some fresh plans for the Ilayathalapathy.Yes, Gautham Menon is operating on a brand new script for Vijay and he's prone to narrate it within the coming days. The filmmaker had officially announced recently thatYohan has been dropped. “And to the entire individuals who has been asking, Yohan with Vijay isn't happening. No film with Vijay now. AL Vijay is directing Vijay’s next film. I’m finishing Neethaane.. After which will determine my next film,” the director had tweeted. It's said that the Yohan script didn't impress the Velayudham star, which made him walk out from the movie.

This has disappointed the fans of Gautham Menon and Vijay, because the project was announced several months ago and the photoshoot was also done. However, now the thrill says that Gautham Menon is making ready with the brand new script and he'll meetVijay once the actor returns from New Zealand where he's filming a song for his upcoming movieThuppakki directed by AR Murugadoss. If everything goes in keeping with the plans, it's going to hit the floors next year, claim reports.


Dubbed films now turn straight films

This weekend is witnessing the discharge of six Tamil films but one among them is definitely a dubbed film that have been occurred — and licensed — as a straight Tamil film. The film Rasagulla is definitely a Kannada movie (Nirdoshi) that was dubbed into Tamil but censored in Karnataka as a straight Tamil film! Meanwhile, next week will see the discharge of the Anushka-Bhoomika-starrer Thulli Ezhunthathu Kadhal, a dubbed version of the 2010 Telugu film Thakita Thakita, which has managed to get certified as a straight Tamil film by going for partial re-shoots.

Says film chronicler Film News Anandan, “In the early days, scenes was shot twice and actors who didn't know the language will mouth the Tamil dialogues so as to later be dubbed by a dubbing artist. However, over the years, producers began to opt for shortcuts by re-shooting some scenes with Tamil actors (this happened mostly with comedy tracks) and retaining the opposite shots as such and claiming their film as bilinguals. After they say that their film is a straight film when applying to the censor board, the board has no option but to certify it as a Tamil film.”

To be censored as a straight Tamil film, a producer has to get clearance certificates from either of the 3 trade bodies (producers’ council, film chamber or producers’ guild), the lab wherein the negative was developed, and the outdoor shooting units used for the shoot. However, industry insiders say that the majority producers be capable of use their influence and get the clearance certificates from these places despite the fact that their film is a dubbed one.

So, what makes producers to resort to such tactics? If a movie is certified as a dubbed one, it means lesser selection of screens, a lesser amount for satellite rights and compulsory entertainment tax. The truth that there aren’t any rules restricting such practices has only emboldened producers to take this route.

Such a convention is seen often mostly within the Tamil and Telugu film industries as a result of cultural similarity between the 2 states.

V Packirisamy, the regional censor board head, too feels the trade bodies should take the responsibility of ensuring that such misdemeanors don’t occur. “However, they are saying that they're obliged to supply the clearance certificate solely in response to the producer’s claim as they don’t see the film,” he quips.

He says that it's increasingly becoming difficult to spot dubbed films as filmmakers are actually capable of change the name boards and other region-specific properties within the frame using visual effects. “We aren't against dubbed films but only against those who claim to be straight films while being otherwise. But why should the taxpayer bear the brunt for the producer’s misinformation?” he asks.

While the censor board can’t take punitive action, Packirisamy says he have been taking a strict stance personally. “Recently, we had certified Vinayaka as a straight Tamil film but then received a complaint saying that it was a Telugu film which the makers had came about as a Tamil film by adding a comedy track featuring Santhanam. When the producer approached us later to get the film certified as ‘U’ for the house video (the theatrical release was rated U/A), we flatly refused or even sent a legal notice though we never got a reply from them,” he reveals. Anandan says that such misinformation is definitely a criminal offense and producers will even be arrested if the general public lodge a complaint with the police.

Dubbed films – Lesser collection of screens, lesser satellite rights, entertainment taxStraight films – Clearance certificates issued by producers’ council, film chamber or producers’ guild
