Tabu comes back to kollywood

Tabu starrer Hindi thriller ‘Hawa’ is all set to speak in Tamil. The film has some steamy scenes involving the actress. To be released by Hamsa Lingam on Gururaja International banner, the Tamil version has been titled ‘Raja Leelai’.

Heavily 'inspired' by Sidney Furie's 1982 horror film ‘The Entity’, ‘Hawa’, which hit theatres in 2003, begins with a divorcee (Tabu) moving into her new bungalow with her younger brother, two daughters, and a dog.

The weather in the new place isn't too kind. Thunderstorms hit the area and lightning strikes next to her compound. Soon Tabu, her brother, and the faithful dog start hearing and seeing 'airy' things. The invisible spirit soon takes a fancy to Tabu. What’s next is the crux.

Apart from Tabu, the film has Shahbaz Khan, Mukesh Tiwari, Imran Khan, Grusha Kapoor, Vishwajeet Pradhan, Amit Behl and Avtar Gill in lead roles. ‘Hawa’ is written by Sutanu Gupta and directed by Guddu Dhanoa.

Nila wants to continue her acting profession

Nila’s answer is a big no while responding to reports that she would soon bid adieu to cinema. The actress, one of the organisers of the Chennai International Fashion Week (CIFW) which is currently underway, says she would continue her acting profession.

“I have not bid bye to acting. I will continue to do both- fashion shows and films,” she says and adds: “However meaty offers should knock my door. I don’t want to be a mere glamdoll.”

On her passion for fashion and the reason behind being one of the organisers of the CIFW, she says, “it was my desire to involve myself with Gaurav Sharma, producer, CIFW. Also, right from my college days, I am interested in fashion.”

On the event, she says, “Though Tamil Nadu is one of the biggest players in the entertainment arena, it is lagging behind as far as fashion industry is concerned. Hence we thought it would be appropriate to hold such a grand event in Chennai.”

“It took four months of hard work to bring together the who’s who of the industry under one roof. Designers not just from the country but also from abroad besides personalities from film industry and beauty pageants will participate. We are slated to perform a similar show in Colombo next year,” she adds.

Beautiful Trisha is busy in Mumbai with her maiden Bollywood venture Khatta Meetha opposite Akshay Kumar, directed by her mentor Priyadarshan. But now, the lass is building a star hotel for her dad, which is opening next month. Sadly for Madrasis, it’s not in Chennai, but Hyderabad.

Trisha's dad is a well-experienced professional in the field of hotel management and he was working for reputed companies earlier. Now the sweet daughter feels her daddy dear can use his experience and effort in family business rather than working for others.

Guess what? The actress is planning a grand party to launch the hotel and is inviting the bigwigs to the party.

Apart from her Bollywood venture, her next releases include Nammo Venkatesa with Venkatesh and Vinnaithandi Varuvaya opposite Silambarasan.

Recently, she confirmed that she is paired up with Ravi Teja again for a film to be produced by Venkat under the banner of RR Movie Makers.

Happy Birthday Rajinikanth

Superstar Rajinikanth turns 60 today (December 12). We  wish him all the best. So what’s the superstar doing on his birthday?

The star who normally escapes from the fanfare and hysteria whipped up by his fans in Chennai, to unknown Himalayan destinations for solitude and introspection is this time very much at home.

As usual he is avoiding the media and fan frenzy and keeping a low profile. The buzz is that he will be locked up at his new Mahavatar Babaji Ashram that he has built near Chengalpet and celebrating the birthday in total solitude.

His family and close friends have organized a Shashitabadapoorthi puja (60th birthday celebrations) at the famous Tirukkadiyur temple near Tiruchi.

Individual fans and artist who are close to him like Lawrence and director SP Muthuraman are conducting their own “feeding the poor” programmes at Choolaimedu.

Earlier on Friday, Rajinikanth launched a book written by one of his fans Kundrathur Raju, at his Poes Garden residence.

As the Boss steps into his 60th year he is still the ‘numero uno’ star of Kollywood. 2010 will be a significant year as his Endhiran- The Robot is set to release.

Karthi turns philosophical

Three-year long wait for his second film to hit the screens has perhaps made Karthi Sivakumar philosophical. The ‘Paruthiveeran’ actor says every man has to wait for his turn and patience is one virtue that has to be followed by any human being.

“It is true that I am craving to see my face on screen after three years. At the same time, there is nothing to feel bad about it. For, ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’ is one such film which deserves the delay. Working under Selvaraghavan is pleasure,” he says.

Ask him whether he would patch up with his mentor Ameer, with whom he had differences after the release of his maiden venture, the young actor quotes his father. “My dad would often say things can’t be decided by anyone and time is the biggest healer. I believe in his words.”

Happy about his costumes in Lingusamy’s ‘Paiyaa’, Karthi says, “there are no big costumes for me in my first two films (‘Paruthiveeran’ and ‘Aayirthail Oruvan’). ‘Paiyaa’ is here to break the jinx. You can see a colourful Karthi in it.”
