One of superstar Rajini's biggest hits in his career is Baasha. This film has been re-released in four screens in Chennai and the amazing response despite heavy rains is something that only Rajni'a filma can evoke.

The film has been screened on TV on numerous occasions and most people would have seen it at least once. In spite of all this, Rajni's charisma never ceases and the response for Basha's re-rlease only reiterates this fact.

A.R. Rahman on a world tour

Rahman is going on a world tour and this one will be a tribute to salute the diversity in Indian music. The concert is expected to be launched on the 9th of December in Dubai.

Back home, the maestro's songs for Rockstar are being raved about. They are also slowly becoming a rage with the movie about to be released soon.

Anushka's plans on her birthday

Another celebrity who shares her birthday with Kamal is Anushka, who hits the 30s club this year on November 7. Among other things she is likely to do on her birthday, Anushka will attend the audio launch of Thulli Ezhunthathu Kadhal (TEK), to be hosted by director Sreehari Nanu and Bhumika Chawla.

My cinematographer Aravind Kamalanathan lent me his Nikon F2 camera and ever since, I’ve been hooked on to photography,” Ajith was quoted as saying in an interview for one of the newspapers recently. Does he have plans to hold an exhibition of his pictures? He has no immediate plans for that.

Tabu Celebrates her 40th Birthday

As the National film award winner turns 40 today (4-11-2011), we take you through the actor’s repertoire of memorable performances over the years

Every time she appeared on screen, she convinced us that no one could do the character better than her. Be it a struggling mother who tried hard to deter her kids from entering the hellhole of trafficking in Chandni Bar or stepping into the shoes of a village belle in Virasat, Tabu did it all with absolute ease. She did slip into the world of mindless movies every now and then, but then we forgive her disasters just because of the simple fact that she never looked like the sorts who would rest on her laurels. We witnessed the same amount of passion in every movie she did. Endowing us with some thought provoking performances in movies like Astitva,Cheeni Kum, The Namesake, etc; Tabu aka Tabassum Hashmi struck a chord only because she has always represented reality in her own unique style. Her last film on screen was Toh Baat Pakki which was a major disaster. The actor is apparently busy shooting Life of Pi opposite Irrfan Khan at present. While the actor claims to be busy, we are definitely missing her undiluted magic on the big screen…

Saguni Movie Stills

Saguni is an upcoming movie from Karthi after a break.

Secrets of Saguni

Karthi-starrer Saguni’s shooting is almost over, say sources in Kollywood. But doubts have risen over the film’s director Shankar Dayal going in for a photo shoot session at the AVM Studios recently. Generally, the photo shoot is done prior to the commencement of the shooting.

It is rumored that Shankar Dayal intends to use these stills for promoting the film. Shankar Dayal apparently does not want to use the stills shot during the shooting because it will leak out the story.

The newbie director has taken up an entirely different storyline and he does not want the media to even make a guess prior to the film’s release. Everything is being kept a top secret about Saguni, say insiders.

Anushka is Preparing for Success

Anushka

The lanky Anuskha Shetty a.k.a. Anushka is a top actress now both in Tamil and Telugu films. The actress has had a pretty satisfying year in 2011 vis-à-vis her Tamil film market is concerned. She has had a couple of releases and both of them have turned out to be successful ventures.

Vijay Fans Tonsure for the success of Velayutham

Around 25 die-hard Vijay fans tonsured their heads as an offering to Lord Murugan at Vadapalani Temple in Chennai for the success of Vijay’s recent release Velayudham. Apart from that they also made a ‘paada yatrai’ from the temple to Kamala theatres to celebrate the success.

Ever since the release of the film, theatres are flooded with Vijay fans to watch their favourite star on screen. Vijay’s powerful punches, electrifying dance sequences, sister sentiment and songs (especially ‘Chillax’ and ‘Sonna Puriyadhu’) make Velayudham a complete entertainer.

Vettimaran modified his script for Silambarasan

It is a general practice for acute technicians to frame the script before venturing into a movie.

His first film Pollathavan portrayed Dhanush in a simple family man extending his guts to face the Dadaism. The next film Aadukalam also shot into fame reaping with numerous national awards.

Maniratman satisfied with Gautham (Karthikès Son)

For the ace director Mani Ratnam, hunt for heroes and equal scripts always has been a daunting task. If this not happened, then we would not have got Maddy, Siddharth, a la for Tamil movies. His penchant for perfection is ever coming to the foray whenever he involves in a new project.

Mankatha is going to be ramaked in Hindi

Gnanavel Raja’s production house, Studio Green has obtained the remake rights for Mankatha. They were supposed to release the film at one stage but Sun Pictures made the acquisition then. Now Mankatha is back in their hands and word is that Mankatha is going to Bollywood.

Cast and crew details are yet to be finalized but it is going to be a multi – starrer and the leading actors in Bollywood will be vying for Ajith’s role. Gnanavel Raja has promised to release more details in a couple of weeks.

Ra One sets new records

Ra One, the Shah Rukh Khan starrer with Rajini in a cameo, has been screened in 87 theatres across Kerala. It is certainly a record because this is the first time a Hindi film is being screened in so many theatres in Kerala.

A press note states:

“We have released only Hindi Ra-One all over Kerala, despite the fact that 40% of Kerala are Tamilians, 50% of Kerala speak fluent Tamil and 70% understand Tamil very well and they enjoy non Malayalam films and as we anticipated the strategy worked well.” Though the Kerala theatres have announced a strike from November 1st, the theatre owners have decided to allow the films that are already being screened. Therefore Ra One will also continue its run, say sources.
