Problem for Prabhu Deva film

prabhu deva

The Salman Khan starrer ‘Wanted’, directed by Prabhu Deva, is facing a legal hurdle, as the Madras High Court on Thursday directed the producers of the movie, including actress Sridevi, to deposite Rs nine crore within a week failing which orders prohibiting them from screening the film will be in force.

A remake of Vijay starrer ‘Pokkiri’, the movie is produced by Sridevi Kapoor, her husband Boney Kapoor and Surendra Kapoor.

Justice G Rajasuria passed the orders on an affidavit filed by G G Photo Limited represented by its director Sushil Gupta, who has filed a civil suit for recovery of Rs.6.74 crore.

According to Sushil Gupta, the claims arouse out of assistance rendered and raw film stock supplied during the production of the film. Stating that he had letters, agreements and cheques to prove the claim, Gupta said in his petition that “all cheques, agreements and letters were duly signed and given voluntarily by the defendants.”

Exclusive: Vijay enters politics

vijay politics

Ilayathalapathy Vijay is entering Tamil Nadu politics in a big way. Vijay had earlier launched Vijay Makkal Iyakkam (VMI) on his birthday in Chennai, and later held a meet in Pudukottai.

On Sunday, Vinayaga Chathurthi day (August 23), Vijay and his VMI with the tacit support of ruling Congress party in Puducherry (Pondycherry), held a huge public meeting, which was attended by Puducherry Chief Minister V Vaidyalingam. Sify.com team has an exclusive peak of the event.

The meeting was organised by Vijay's Pudhucherry fan club president and Puducherry Munetra Congress MLA, N Anand. Nearly 50,000 people crowded the Anna Thidal (stadium) in the heart of the city. For poor and needy students, he started computer training centers and distributed cycles.

Vijay made a short speech in which he urged the youth to take up social work and help the poor and needy. N.Anand, local MLA urged the crowd to ask- "Why can't Vijay enter politics?"

Vijay's carefully worded reply was, "I will never say that I have no desire for politics, but it is like a big ocean. I feel that one has to go step by step and study the issue before plunging into it."

Vijays's fans went delirious when he said a typical punchline, when a student asked him whether he will enter politics : "Ithu Vere Vazhi, Varuvendi Nerathu Varum! (It's a different route, I will come at the right time).

He then looks up at the huge crowd and in filmi style nods his head and asks- "OK?", which resulted in thunderous ovation.

simran_as_amman3

At a time when a guessing game is on as to who would play the all-powerful mother-in-law role in the remake of ‘Mappillai’, starring Dhanush, Simran says she is ready to take up the challenge.

Denying reports that she denied playing the role when approached by the film’s director, the yesteryear heartthrob says, “No one has offered me the role so far. I am ready to act with Dhanush if such an offer comes my way.”

Produced by Nemichand Jhabak and directed by Suraaj, the movie’s script, inspired by a Rajinikanth blockbuster of the same title, would undergo some minor changes to suit to the taste of the present generation.

In the original version, late actress Srividya played the character of villainy mom-in-law. The story of the film goes like this- the hero (Rajini) will fall in love with the heroine (Amala) and will marry her against the wish of the heroine’s mom. Then a cold-war starts between the mom in-law and the son-in-law and who wins the fight is ‘Mappillai’ all about.

Asin upset with her imposters on Orkut,

asin hot kollywood actress pictures140809

"Hey there... Asin is using Twitter," declares the latest social networking website, and then goes on to give us gems like "I want to act in a Tamil movie" from the actress.

There's just one problem. Asin is not on Twitter... or any of the social networking websites. And she can't laugh off the impersonations any longer.

Asin has a very serious problem. She has impersonators on all the major social-networking sites. "I was ready to overlook these fake IDs using my name as long as they weren't harmful. But now the problem is getting out of hand."

The other night, a colleague had a whole long conversation with 'Asin' and called up the next day to share her excitement about what an intimate conversation they had.

"I nearly fell off my chair. I won't name this actress. But she said we shared our most intimate secrets on Facebook. I nearly fell off my chair and asked her whom did she share her secrets with because it was most certainly not me. Two days ago, a journalist came to interview me and said she got all the information on me from what I had written on Twitter. For the record, I'm not on any of the social-networking websites. Apart from my own website, I am not on the Internet for any other purpose. I started blogging even before Aamir did in August 2005,"Asin declares proudly.

Asin is aghast. "I was clubbed with Chetan Bhagat and Shashi Tharoor and put on a social networking website. But I'm not on Orkut, Facebook or Twitter. Apparently, there are lots of fake profiles."

The lies about Asin don't end at virtual reality. "It's been ages since I have had non-veg food. For all practical purposes, I'm a vegetarian. But I read this horrible report about how I love all kinds of exotic meats. I haven't been approached by PETA. But that doesn't mean I've to go the other way."

Who is Raavana’s Mandodhari?

reema sen sexy kollywood actress pictures 070809

Mani Ratnam’s ‘Raavana’ steals a lot of attention, both for good and the dark reasons. He is busy churning out ‘Raavana’, the bilingual project, in spite of lay-backs.

The director had at times remade epics into modern day stories ever since ‘Thalapathi’ (story of Karna from Mahabharata). And inspired by ‘Ramayana’, he is working on ‘Raavana’ with lots of diligence to bring it out as a masterwork.

As per his plan, for the Hindi version the characters based on Rama and Seetha is played by Abhishek and Aish while Vikram would play the shades of Ravana. On the other hand the Tamil version will have Vikram replacing Abhishek’s role and would pair up with Aish. Prithiviraj would play the baddie in this version. We are also aware that Priyamani is roped in for the role of ‘Surpanagai’ for both the versions.

But, for quite some time there is a delay in fixing up an actress for the role of Mandodhari (Ravana’s wife). As most of us know, the gorgeous Nayantara has refused this juicy offer from the maverick movie maker. It was said that she turned down the role of Mandodhari as there was no glamour quotient. Guess what? A small birdie says that Mani Sir is now eying Reema Sen, for the same role. The ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’ girl is still busy with the project’s patch work. But Suhasni Mani Ratnam had directly approached Selvaragavan and had asked for his permission to hire the lady for her husband’s project just for ten days.

Be it ten days or fifty days, will Selvaragavan allow Reema to cross his territory?

Simbhu said the movie would be a milestone in his career, in a role which he hoped to bring out other facets of his personality. "There are characters  where you simply live with that and this experience is something I would cherish for a long time," said Simbhu.

The actor is convinced that an artiste should not restrict himself to a parameter. "The audience is sure to accept the star if the character so portrayed is convincing," said Simbhu with an air of assurance.

And talking of his first love, Simbhu said his next directorial venture is Vaaliban, doubling up as an actor. All he has to do is wait till Vinnai Thandi Varuvayo sees the light of day.
