Bheema Updates!!

One, two, three, jump. One, two, three, turn around…. No, this is not a dance school, but the final day of shooting of Sri Surya Movies’ Bheema, at Prasad Studio. The place is abuzz with technicians and junior dancers. Dance master Brinda is busy teaching some steps to the artistes, while cameraman R.D. Rajasekar reels out instructions to his men.

Even as he watches the proceedings, director Lingusamy talks about the much-hyped Vikram-Trisha starrer. “We are shooting for a dream song featuring the lead pair. We have brought in some dancers from Mumbai. The number composed by Harris Jayaraj is melodious. I’m sure it will be a hit with the audience.”

Brushing aside rumours that he had made major changes to the script, Lingusamy says, “I do not start shooting without completing the script and having it bound. All my assistant directors have copies of the script. And we stick to it. The production of the film got delayed due to various reasons. It’s got nothing to do with the script. Anyway, we’re close to wrapping it up.” Giving details about the song sequences, the director says, “One song was shot in Switzerland. It took four days for completion and has come out well. For another number, we went to Tuticorin. We bought a big ship and changed its interiors for the shoot. The hero comes in five different guises in the film.”

Happy that the film is completed, Vikram says, “I liked the script and was happy to work with director Lingusamy. The film has shaped up well. It has the right dose of sentiment, glamour, music and action. When I saw the film during the dubbing, it was like watching an English film.”

Chipping in, Trisha says, she liked the songs and also the film. “The story revolves around a don. Director Lingusamy has done a good job and made it a wholesome entertainer

But Dharmendra alias Veeru(the name of his character in the movie) thinks otherwise! He has shown interest in preparing a sequel for Sholay! The script is ready and so are few of the casts! It has been proposed that both Abhishek and Bobby Deol- the siblings of the famous Jai and Veeru would be roping in their real life characters in the movie!

Arjun and KB join Hands!

Arjun is all smiles these days and it is not without enough reasons. For his long pending date with success has just happened with the release of his latest Marudamalai. Reason enough for the producers to swarm his front door for his dates. However, Arjun seemed to be holding all the cards and hadn’t nodded his consent for another project. But not for too long though. For he just can’t turn down a veteran like Balachander. Here is how.

arlier, director Selva called on Arjun for his next venture, the remake of old hit Nootrukku Nooru, for which the actor did not seem to show any keenness. Not sooner than the incident, Arjun received a call from Balachander – producer of the movie – and the veteran expressed his desire to cast Arjun in the remake project produced by Kavithalaya. The reason: Balachander was bowled over by the actor’s performance in Bommalattam. Arjun has obviously gestured a nod of consent to Selva after this.

Directed by Balachander, the old Nootrukku Nooru starred Jaishankar, Nagesh and Lakshmi and was a thriller sans action, which might as well provide a makeover for Arjun.

Arjun’s offbeat Bommalattam, directed by Bharathiraja, is due to hit the screens in the near future.

Four Remakes Of A Single Movie??

100 million dollars is being invested by a Bollywood Production House to make four versions of SHOLAY. In the year 1975 SHOLAY created ripples throughout the Asian countries. This film ran for years in theatres. This film is about two reformed crooks who save a village from a cruel brutal bandit. The bandit Gabbar Singh acted by Amjad Khan became so popular in this movie for he is portrayed as a tobacco-chewing, maniacal villain with staccato laughter.

The film was repackaged at various times, but an official remake is now going to be made by the Pritish Nandy Communications which has signed a deal with the producers of the original. The plan is to film a remake, a prequel, a sequel and an animated version of SHOLAY.

Paarthiban in Aayirathil Oruvan??

At a time when several films featuring the biggies are in the pipeline, Selvaraghavan's Aayirathil Oruvan seems to be the most expected of the lot. Well, it has all the reason to be. For one thing, fans and critics are eager to see Karthi's performance in this flick after his spellbinding performance in Paruthiveeran.

Added to this is Selvaraghavan's reputation as a master storyteller who can spin tales poignantly to touch the hearts of the audience. Music, among other things, is what the director concentrates, for all his films have had songs that were chartbusters. And his earlier ventures with Yuvan Shankar Raja bear testimony to this fact.

Adding one more to the feathers in his cap, in Aayirathil Oruvan, will be a guest performance by Parthiban. It’s no surprise that an actor of his stature has agreed for a cameo as he has done it before in Anthapuram. But then, Parthiban is always experimenting and is open to new ideas and roles and we expect his role in Aayirathil Oruvan to be as different as it was in Anthapuram.

And that is not all! Even Dhanush, the younger brother of the director will appear in a guest role. With Aayirathil Oruvan having an array of actors like Reema Sen, Andrea and Karthi it is quite natural that the film is drawing a lot of attention.

Billa for Diwali!

Remake of the yesteryear hit that starred Rajinikanth, Billa is one of the most anticipated movies this year. The movie will feature Ajith as the Don and Nayantara as his lady love, with Namitha and Prabhu also playing important roles. The movie is directed by Vishnuvardhan, who after a dull Kurumbu, came up with the much liked Arindhum Ariyamalum and the hit Pattiyal.

The old Billa was a remake of the Hindi Don which was played by Amitabh. A year ago Sharukh Khan remade the old Don in Hindi which went on to become a super hit. The Hindi remake directed by Farhan Akhtar had a twist which was totally different to the old movie and many expect that the new Tamil movie will also have some unexpected twists. However, director Vishnuvardhan said that he has given due respect to one of the most liked action films and hasn't made any changes. But he has tried to make the script as stylish as possible.

The action thriller was expected to hit the screens on Diwali, but due to Ajith's ill health the movie was stalled for quite sometime, therefore rumors were afloat that the movie will not make it on time. But the optimistic director says that the one month rest has recharged everyone and they are working extra hard to complete the movie on time. Now almost 70% of the movie has been shot and all the scenes featuring Namitha has been completed. But sources say that scenes with Nayantara are yet to be filmed. It is also said that Nayantara has played a very glamorous role. Yuvan Shankar Raja has come out with some excellent music. Vishnuvardhan and Yuvan's last two combinations Arindhum Ariyamalum and Pattiyal are musically well received and the duo is on their way to a hat trick.

Ajith is rumoured to have played his character very stylishly and the director agreed with the superstar's contention that only Ajith could do justice to the role. And the movie is surely going to come as a Diwali treat to all Ajith fans. All the best to the Billa team.

For instance the scene where Rajini mimics Sivaji, M.G.R and Kamal Haasan just before the Adiradi number.

In Telugu Rajini was made to dance like N T R, Nageswara Rao and Chiranjeevi which got tremendous appreciation.

Similarly in Hindi, this specific sequence had Rajini moving like Raj Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan. Meanwhile it was also reported that Shankar is too skeptical about making Sivaji in Hindi as his earlier dubbed version of Anniyan did not meet with a positive response there.

It is known that Rajini and Mani came together 16 years ago for the super hit "Thalapathy" which is still considered the best movie of Rajinikanth as an actor and the bond between them had grown ever since. Even though they have not worked together from then on, Rajinikanth has always kept him in high regards as he was the first one to appreciate Mani Ratnam when Roja and Bombay were released.

Although the reasons attributed for their meeting could only be an extension of imagination of the media, still the very thought of the Super Director and Superstar coming together, is certainly the biggest news of the year. If the two team up again it is bound to be a Diwali time for Kollywood. Let's wait for official statements.

Salman capitulated!!

We don't know whether they are the best of buddies at present but they soon will. Two men atop the burning deck of a ship often turn out to be friends. But jokes apart, the situation is grim for Salman Khan, Sanjay Dutt and Bollywood. Salman has been sentenced to five years of imprisonment for killing a Chinkara (deer) in 1998. The actor was not present in court to hear the verdict.

The court which gave the verdict does not have the power to hear the bail application, so Salman will have to go behind bars for at least a few days before his lawyers can move to a higher court for bail. Even then his problems won't be solved and Bollywood would be deep in crisis. This thunderbolt of a news of Salman's conviction comes right behind the little element of relief that the news of Sanjay's coming out on bail brought.

ARR given a clean chit!!

The controversy surrounding the Jana Gana Mana album by A.R.Rahman came to an end today, with the Chief Justice A.P. Shah and Justice Jyothimani dismissing the petition to ban the album. According to the petitioner, Mohanraj, General Secretary of Jebamani Janata Party, the music director’s intention to release the album was to cash in on the national anthem.

Moreover, he alleged that the national anthem should be sung within stipulated seconds but Rahman has sung it for over seven minutes. The judges, while dismissing the petition on both counts, said that it is the right of the citizens to sing the national anthem and it cannot be deemed as an act of disrespect. Also they gave the verdict that there is no such rule as to the stipulated time.

ARR might be imprisoned!!!

A.R. Rahman – the proud Indian he has always been, had released Vande Mataram on the occasion of the 50th year of independence and in the 60th year he came up with an album "Jana Gana Mana".

Even though the intentions were good, he seems to have forgotten that there is a law that the national anthem should be sung in a specific way and should be finished within the stipulated seconds.

And if done otherwise it is deemed as disrespect to the national anthem and could attract a sentence of a maximum of three years imprisonment. And now many people are ready to sue Rahman for this action.

"Do good, there will be none to support; do good, there will be hundreds to find fault". How true is this statement!
