Neetu Chandra in Vishal’s next

Actor Vishal, who has been trying hard to cast a North Indian heroine to play a role in his Theeradha Vilayaatu Pillai, can now heave a sigh of relief. He finally has found a heroine, who is none other than the girl who played Priya, Madhavan’s wife in his horror flick, Neetu Chandra.
Neetu Chandra, the actress who has played important roles in films like Traffic signal and Playing Guest, has been approached by Vishal to play one of the three heroines in director Thiru’s Theeradha Vilayaatu Pillai. The film features Vishal as a Casanova flanked by three heroines, of which only Shriya Saran has been confirmed.
For the role that Neetu has been offered, Vishal had originally wanted to cast Bipasha Basu, whose only Tamil film so far remains Vijay’s Sachien. But the actress politely declined the role as she had other commitments till the end of next year. The role was then offered to Tanushri Dutta, and has finally been bagged by Neetu Chandra. The actress is yet to sign the dotted line but it is learnt that she has a bold role to play in the film.

Vikram Interview: I Have 8 Getups

Q. Tell us about the movie and it’s highlights? A. My character is a super hero character. Speaking on the whole, the film delivers a wonderful message and is delivered beautifully, stylishly, extravagantly and musically with wonderful stunts and this is the biggest film that I’ve done till date. The concept is very interesting and is unlike the seriousness associated with a message-oriented film. The packaging is just beautiful. It’s an interesting role, all the girls will like my character, and all the boys will like Shriya’s character. The film’s a total family entertainer as there is nothing by the way of obscenity and the fine balance between glamour and obscenity is well maintained throughout the film. The kids are gonna love the super hero character. We want all the kids to go watch the film, as we are sure they will love the superhero character. Coming to the songs, they are totally different unlike the routine Item number or remix number or a romance duet. The songs are in a different category and are very peppy numbers. I always say that Devi is full of positive energy and the songs totally reflect that energy and you will find them very interesting. Q. How was the whole experience? A. The entire unit was close knit and whenever we had time, we were always laughing by cracking jokes at each other and that great mood reflects in the mood of the movie. All the new experiences during the shooting of the film are great and right from the day I heard the story, we never felt for a bit that we were part of a big project; rather we concentrated on the thought, the effort, and the energy that went into the film. The song’s are a huge hit in Tamil and are soon catching up in Andhra and turning out to a big hit there too. Everyone was surprised about the songs and they couldn’t believe that the songs have turned out be really good. Q. How about your singing experience in Telugu? A. Well I found that guys in Andhra are relaxing especially with the Deccan Chargers winning the IPL and I somehow wanted to torture you people. So (laughs all around) I went ahead with the singing. But coming to my style, I think it’s a bit different for example take the case of Udit Narayan. He isn’t fluent in Tamil or Telugu but his tone while singing Tamil or Telugu numbers resembles an interesting style. Q. your preparations for portraying the character? A. well the character resembles that of a James bond character. He is a CBI officer. I haven’t done any home work for this particular role like observing the characteristics. Nevertheless, for the first time I have observed the characterization of a particular person for this movie. I have watched James Bond movies, the character’s portrayal by Pierce Brosnan- his style, his emotions and the likes. likewise, for this superhero character, which has to portray some hen like behavior, I observed a rooster that I have got at my home for ten days. And let me tell you that I have never observed people for a character but for this role I had to observe a rooster and so this is my home work. That observation basically gave me ideas about its behavior, its movements and the likes and that I used for the movements in a fight that was to resemble the behavior of a chicken. Q. what about the Characterizations? A. The characterizations are totally different and they enjoy great variation. The main thing that one will observe is that the characters are very stylish. Normally people don’t shop around the world for costumes unlike they do for location hunting. We shopped around the globe from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, New York and Italy. These costumes were custom made and took about three months to make. Even the head gear was imported from Italy as well. We wanted to leave our mark for the super hero character and wanted the superhero to have a south Indian flavor. We also took care to represent the entire south not just Tamil. Q. Tell us about the promotion of the film? A. We did lots of homework but finally were able to come up with a great movie. The whole movie, be it with the songs, the fights, the publicity or even for the trailer we took great care and tried to leave a mark. For example, just for the audio release function we had around 100 dancers from Italy. Shriya, Devi and Mumaith Khan danced at that function while I sang. This is the first of its kind for an audio function in the country. Now I don’t know what’s lined up for the release but I think they will definitely come up with something great. So It’s a good start let’s see. Q. In how many getups have you appeared in the film? A. It’s not the number of getups in the film that matter. They may be 5, may be 25 but I like to say that they are different looks rather than getups. But the importance is not for the getups it’s for our handling of the subject I think the getups just add spice. Overall, I guess that there are about 8 different getups in the movie.

Top 4 actresses our heroes love

Gone are those days when merely few actresses were dominating the film industry. Today, we find more and more stylish, sizzling and quite commendable missies making their debut every new day. It’s so hard for an actress to survive and however there are few today whom our heroes die to pair up with…
1. Nayanthara – Despites many failures during previous year, the actress remains on top and every actor wants to prefer her. At the moment, she has paired with Surya in ‘Aadhavan’.
2. Trisha – A Perfect Smart Move!! The actress went for a good ride with all leading senior actors. And as she’s looking a bit old to all the audiences, she has paired with young actors Aarya, Dhanush and Simbhu.
3. Thamannah – The girl failed to make an impressive start with unsuitable projects ‘KD’ and ‘Vyaapari’. But, her second innings is excellent. Vijay has offered her to perform female lead in ‘Urimai Kural’ his 50th film.
4. Anushka – Like Thamannah, the actress hadn’t fetched good offers after her debut in ‘Rendu’ with Madhavan. Now, she’s the most happening missy after her colossal success with ‘Arundhathi’. She has big tickets ‘Vettaikaaran’ with Vijay and ‘Singam’ with Surya.

Lee Strasberg Institute in India by 2010

Highly placed sources in Bollywood suggest that India will soon find a new branch of the prestigious Lee Strasberg Acting Institute. The institute which is one of the best acting institutes is the brain child of actor, director and acting teacher Lee Strasberg. Rahul Rawail is the main person behind the acting institute coming to India. Reports suggest that he has made numerable trips to the US and back regarding this. The talks seem to have proved fruitful because Rahul and his business partner Ahmed Ahsan seem to have obtained the permission letter from the institute to open its branch in the country. Lee Strasberg Acting Institute, which is at the moment based in New York will soon have a branch functioning in India but not necessarily in Mumbai because of two reasons: one due to the mounting costs in Mumbai and two the institute requires huge space. When quizzed about this initiative Mr. Rawail has neither confirmed nor denied the news. A handful of actors as well as technicians seemed to have received invites for enrolling themselves in the institute for the purpose of tutoring fresh candidates once the institute begins functioning. Sources suggest that the Lee Strasberg Acting Institute will most probably beginning functioning in India by 2010.

Is Vishal remaking Bachna Ae Hasino?

Of course, pairing up with three heroine and one amongst them happening to be a Mumbai based girl characterization easily lets us draw a partial conclusion. We’re not sure about it.

The film has three heroines on the title cards with Reema Sen and Shriya Charan already roped in.
As one of the characterizations happens to be a Mumbai based girl, Vishal was involved in talks with Bipasha Basu and Tanushree Dutta. As they demanded for more remuneration, Neetu Chandra has been offered to take on that role. As there are whole lot of bikini shows, she has demanded for certain high amount and Vishal has agreed to pay her so.

Sneha’s second innings with Vijay

Vijay’s 50th film is to be directed by Perarasu. This was reported a few days ago. But there is no news of the cast and crew, yet. While some sources say that Tamanna has been signed up to star opposite the Ilayathapathi, this has not been confirmed till date.
Meanwhile, we have news that Sneha has been signed up to star opposite Vijay. The buzz is that this venture needs a double heroine and hence the smiling beauty, Sneha, has been roped in. However, sources close to Sneha and Vijay have not confirmed it.

‘Marupadiyum Oru Kadhal’ isn’t a triangular love story

Followed by ‘Vedha’, Producer Vasu Bhaskar produces his next film ‘Marupadiyum Oru Kadhal’. With buzzes getting around the town that it’s a clichéd triangular love story, Vasu Bhaskar objects it strongly saying, ‘Anirudh does the protagonist characterization while Vaani Kishore and Joshna star him opposite in the female lead role… Many seems to be drawing their own conclusions on this film to be a triangular love story which is not so.
This is a love tale set at the backdrops of medical college students and Vadivelu’s comedy tracks will add a humor-blast treat to audiences. We’re planning to launch the audio in an innovative manner and that’s suspense now. Shooting for songs would be in exotic locations of foreign land and film will be released by August…”

Kamal’s screenwriting workshop gets inaugurated today

Kamal Haasan’s ambitious academic venture, aiming at making screenwriting a specialized field with a week-long workshop, is all set to be launched today, amidst the presence and participation of eminent screenwriters from across the globe.
Being cohosted by IIT Madras along with Kamal Haasan’s Raajkamal Films International, the workshop will be held in the hollowed grounds of IIT. French writer Jean Claude Carriere, Olivier Lorelle (whose film Indigenes was nominated to the Oscars 2006) and Shekhar Kapur, will share their thoughts with the likes of K. Balachander, Balu Mahendra, Gulzar, Gollapudi Maruthi Rao, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, Vishal Bharadwaj, Rituparno Ghosh, Shyamaprasad and Sriram Raghavan at the seminar between June 2 and June 3, 2009.
"I envy the 250 delegates who will get to be there at the ICSR auditorium at IIT to listen to the masters and attend the screenwriting workshop to be conducted by Anjum Rajabali, Atul Tiwari and K.Hariharan," says Kamal Haasan. This seminar will be dedicated to writer Ananthu, K Balachandar’s most trusted writer, said Kamal Haasan.
"Ananthu was the one who got me into writing. Suchitra Film Society would screen films from around the world. Every time films came for festivals, we would hijack the films and watch them," he recalls. "Once I could afford it, I went to the US and spent some time with (John) Truby. He was like my coach. He introduced me to all the tools I needed. Thevar Magan was the first film here to be written with Movie Magic, a screenwriting software." Later in the nineties, he met Luis Bunuel's regular hand Jean Claude Carriere, who went on to become the co-writer for Maruthanayagam. "He then introduced me to Abbas Kiarostami and that was the first time we spoke of mentoring writers and filmmakers. Because not all storytellers make for good screenwriters. Even if Shakespeare was around today, he would have to learn screenwriting. Not to say screenwriting is greater than Shakespeare. It's just that the rules of the game have changed. It took me nearly twenty years to learn what is today taught in film schools. These 250 students we have selected will need just a week to take their first baby step towards writing." The speakers all belong to different schools of cinema. "All the people I have called are people I have learned from even if they are younger than me. Some of them are people I consider mentors. Mr. Balachander has written and produced 100 different films. I wish Mani Ratnam could've come too but he has a film to complete." The workshop is only for selected delegates and the seminar is only by invitation.

Hero and heroine of Vairam drowns in sea

The shooting of the film Vairam which has Richard and Navneeth Kaur in the lead took place in Chennai and its suburbs. Recently a song sequence was shot in Bangkok. The sequence was that the hero and heroine were supposed to sail in a boat and they should push each other for fun. But when the sequence was shot both of them fell into the sea accidentally. Since both of them do not know swimming, they started drowning. Since some of the crew members knew swimming they were able to save both of them.
Richard and Navneeth were in a deep state of shock. It took some hours for them to recover from the shock. They took part in the shooting after some time. K Venugopal is producing this film under the banner Vandhana Media. S P Chelladurai is directing this film. He has also written the story and screenplay. Russell has written the dialogues. P Balakrishnan has handled the camera while Sunil Xavier has composed the music.

Shruthi, jumping from the airplane

Shruthi Haasan is going places with prestigious projects like Luck where she stars opposite Imran Khan. The film is directed by Soham and the music is scored by Pritam Chakraborthy. Shruthi will also score for her dad’s next film Unnai Pol Oruvan.
As per sources, the lady has agreed to do some risky shots for Luck. The Luck crew has flown down to shoot a sequence where Imran and Shruthi would jump into the sea from an airplane. It remains to be seen if the lady will do so without opting for a dupe.

Kamal’s screenwriting workshop gets inaugurated today

Kamal Haasan’s ambitious academic venture, aiming at making screenwriting a specialized field with a week-long workshop, is all set to be launched today, amidst the presence and participation of eminent screenwriters from across the globe.
Being cohosted by IIT Madras along with Kamal Haasan’s Raajkamal Films International, the workshop will be held in the hollowed grounds of IIT. French writer Jean Claude Carriere, Olivier Lorelle (whose film Indigenes was nominated to the Oscars 2006) and Shekhar Kapur, will share their thoughts with the likes of K. Balachander, Balu Mahendra, Gulzar, Gollapudi Maruthi Rao, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, Vishal Bharadwaj, Rituparno Ghosh, Shyamaprasad and Sriram Raghavan at the seminar between June 2 and June 3, 2009.
"I envy the 250 delegates who will get to be there at the ICSR auditorium at IIT to listen to the masters and attend the screenwriting workshop to be conducted by Anjum Rajabali, Atul Tiwari and K.Hariharan," says Kamal Haasan. This seminar will be dedicated to writer Ananthu, K Balachandar’s most trusted writer, said Kamal Haasan.
"Ananthu was the one who got me into writing. Suchitra Film Society would screen films from around the world. Every time films came for festivals, we would hijack the films and watch them," he recalls. "Once I could afford it, I went to the US and spent some time with (John) Truby. He was like my coach. He introduced me to all the tools I needed. Thevar Magan was the first film here to be written with Movie Magic, a screenwriting software." Later in the nineties, he met Luis Bunuel's regular hand Jean Claude Carriere, who went on to become the co-writer for Maruthanayagam. "He then introduced me to Abbas Kiarostami and that was the first time we spoke of mentoring writers and filmmakers. Because not all storytellers make for good screenwriters. Even if Shakespeare was around today, he would have to learn screenwriting. Not to say screenwriting is greater than Shakespeare. It's just that the rules of the game have changed. It took me nearly twenty years to learn what is today taught in film schools. These 250 students we have selected will need just a week to take their first baby step towards writing."

Kajal Aggarwal plays LR Easwari

Looks like Saran has found his way to honour the yesteryear versatile singer who was known to sing offbeat tracks. Kajal Aggarwal, the lanky lass who played journalist in Bommalaatam, apart from doing a cameo in Saroja, returns playing a singer in Saran’s Modhi Vilayaadu. I am a college goer in the film apart from having a rock band in it. I play a singer in it, and am called LR Easwai, says the actress, who likens her role to that of the loquacious Genelia in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. The film, an action flick, is said to have a lot of comedy in the scenes involving her and Vinay. In fact, the actress is said to have caused his car a damage due to which she even ends up playing his servant. The film is slated for a mid-June release.

Vivek replaces Vadivelu as ‘Sirippu Police’

Of course, the word ‘Sirippu Police’ turned to be more familiar with Vadivelu in the film ‘Maruthamalai’. From then onwards, it’s been such a great comedic element amongst the masses.
But now, it’s the turn for Vivek to bag this jocular title of ‘Sirippu Police’. Aye! The Actor will take on such a mirthful cop in his forthcoming film ‘Bhavani IPS’. Although, the film is said to be a remake of yesteryear action packed thriller ‘Vijayanthi IPS’. Sneha does the lead role here with three leading actors in the negative character. Film’s shooting has been almost completed and will hit the screens shortly.

‘I am not in love with anyone’ – Priyamani says so

Actress Priyamani is so pitiable now as rumors are pinching her so hardly. First with Prithviraj and now with Tarun: She’s miserably linked with every pretty actor in town.
Priyamani has finally broken down with frustration and comes up with an open statement. ‘Please stop writing cock and bull stories on me.
Recently, I bought an INNOVA car with my own money I earned. And none presented me so. For next two years I will be completely focusing on my career and so, there’s no room for any romance. Earlier, when rumors linked Prithviraj and Priyamani, it was due to precious gifts he presented.Looks like valuable gifts are really costing a lot for Priyamani…

‘Gnyabagangal is my friend Kathiravan’s life story’ – Pa. Vijay

Lyricist Pa. Vijay makes his debut with ‘Gnyabagangal’ as an actor. With the film’s songs doing good business at markets, he released the film’s trailer last evening herein Chennai.
Speaking on the occasion, he said, “When I came to Chennai seeking for chance in films, I stayed in Choolaimedu and my neighbor was Lyricist Kathiravan and he was a strong communist in his thoughts.
This sole reason stopped him from getting chance in film industry and he was deeply love with a Hindi speaking girl who stayed near his house. But as the girl was married to someone else, he moved to his hometown. A Year later, I got the message he passed away for suffering from prolonged illness. I blamed myself for not helping the true love get united and thusly made his life into this film dedicating for his soul…”

K.S. Ravikumar avoids about ‘Aadhavan’ talks

Director K.S. Ravikumar is well-famed for his stunning directorial style. He happens to be one the perfect filmmaker who just sways completing his film’s shooting within scheduled dates. At the moment, he is fast on the floors of Surya-Nayanthara starrer ‘Aadhavan’. Couple of schedules have been completed and he doesn’t let a word out about this film. When asked about this film, he said “Please don’t ask anything about Aadhavan. First let my film ‘Jaggubhai’ release and then we’ll discuss about this…”
Looks like ‘Jaggubhai’ would be much more interesting in its concept than ‘Aadhavan’ and that’s more illustrious about his reply. Or else, producers of this film should’ve insisted him not to speak more on Surya’s film as it would lessen the expectations for ‘Jaggubhai’ starring Sarath Kumar and Shriya Charan in lead roles.

With Mani Rathnam’s ‘Raavan’ getting him on the last legs of schedule, his protégé Susi Ganesh has got ‘Kandasamy’ completed. As everyone in the film’s crew revealed Kandasamy is a superhero film, Vikram was questioned whether it would be equally enhancing as Hrithik Roshan’s ‘Krish’.
Immediately, the actor came up with a statement, ‘Krish is nowhere near Kandasamy. It was a ridiculous film made with merely top-notching technical aspects. But here, we have focused on both narrative as well technical vistas. They’re sure about mind-boggling the audiences…”

Trisha’s unforgettable Prabhu Deva

When rumors are just spoiling the image of Prabhu Deva (precisely with Nayanthara), Trisha comes with her singular take on Prabhu Deva on how he helped her. The actress says, “At the point when I stepped into film industry, I merely knew the dance of Baila that in no way does favor in Filmdom.

Mumaith Khan sizzles in a two piece

Mumaith Khan, who has played item numbers in many movies, finally got her big break to play heroine with Pournami Nagam. This definitely ensures that the actress, who plays a snake in the flick, calls audiences for a glamourous treat. The highlight of the film is sure to be the song in which the actress prances about in a two piece. In fact, this song was a huge hit in the original Telugu version of the movie, Punnami Naagu also. Bikinis and two pieces are definitely not new to Kollywood. All leading heroines are being forced to sport them to increase the glamour quotient of their films. But seeing Mumaith Khan, one of our most famous sex sirens do so, is definitely a new highlight for us.

Rekha – Right on her 60s, she’s still a reigning queen and you wanna know the reason for it? Her art of ‘Make-Up’ and more than all her art of being mysterious, alluring, complicated and poised at once.
Rani Mukherji – She doesn’t look so alluring on her looks that’s supposed to transfix you. Patently, her best voice is what lights up your smiles.
Dimple Kapadia – Hey! You would fall her blonde hair though she your big aunt’s age. Her glossy-fangled hair is always bold and never goes coarse, more wavy but not wild.
Shilpa Shetty – Guess what could be her jinxing USP? The entire globe knows it… Her sleek and stylish waist that steelier than a slim steel.
Bipasha Basu – Quite bold to term her glamorous appeal in perfect terms… But let’s not drag it alone. It’s her ‘Cleavage’ that throws the entire gang of lads in transfixed state. She’s dangerously beautiful and merely fearless. What do you expect from a woman than this?
Shabana Azmi – Her empaling nature of ‘Social Consciousness’. It’s not just the most previous jewels that dangle around, but her beliefs do stylishly embellish her.
Arundhathi Roy – Never fails to speak the truth. ‘God of small things’ was really a prodigious piece of work. Her glamorous factor is her ‘WORDS’. The Booker Prize-winning novelist has been a fearless activist.
Madhuri Dixit – Oh my God! I can’t miss her smile and would die for it. Don’t expect this to be uttered by a middle-aged guy. On the pars, don’t get surprised to hear this from a 5-year old lad and perhaps she may be his first heartthrob.
Priyanka Gandhi – There are probabilities of getting frizzled up if one gets to take a look on her dropping her family background. She’s quite stunningly beautiful as a Hollywood actress and incisively as a blissful angel we heard off in fairy tales. But it’s her ‘LINEAGE’ that makes her glamorous.
