சிவகார்த்திகேயனை அழ வைத்தது யார் ???? - வளர்த்து விட்ட ஏணியா ? அல்லது தயாரிப்பு நிறுவனமா ??

தொலைக்காட்சி தொகுப்பாளராக இருந்த சிவகார்த்திகேயனுக்கு ‘3’ படத்தில் சினிமா வாய்ப்பு வழங்கியவர் தனுஷ்.

தொடர்ந்து எதிர்நீச்சல் படத்தில் சிவகார்த்திகேயனை வெற்றிகரமான நாயகனாக்கினார். காக்கிச் சட்டையிலும் அவரை ஹீரோவாக வைத்து படம் தயாரித்தார் சிம்பு. ஆனால் அந்தப் படத்துக்குப் பிறகு இருவருக்கும் உரசல் என்று தகவல் பரவியது. இதுகுறித்து கேட்கும்போதெல்லாம் இருவருமே பூசி மெழுகி பதில் கூறி வந்தனர். இந்த நிலையில் தங்களுக்கிடையிலான கருத்து வேறுபாட்டை சமீபத்தில் வெளிப்படையாகவே கூறிவிட்டார் தனுஷ். மீண்டும் சிவகார்த்திகேயனை வைத்து படம் தயாரிப்பீர்களா என்ற கேள்விக்கு பதிலளித்த தனுஷ், “சிவகார்த்திகேயனுக்கு எங்கள் நிறுவனத்தால் சம்பளம் கொடுத்து கட்டுப்படியாகவில்லை. அதனால்தான் அவரை வைத்து மீண்டும் படம் எடுக்க முடியவில்லை. மற்றபடி அவர் வளர்வது சந்தோஷம்தான்,” என்றார்

சினிமா துறையை விட்டு விரட்டும் அளவுக்கு தனக்கு பிரச்சனைகள் உள்ளதா என்பது குறித்து நடிகர் சிவகார்த்திகேயன் விளக்கம் அளித்துள்ளார். நடிகர் சிவகார்த்திகேயன் தந்தி டிவியின் கேள்விக்கென்ன பதில் நிகழ்ச்சியில் கலந்து கொண்டார். நிகழ்ச்சியை தொகுத்து வழங்கிய பாண்டே சிவகார்த்திகேயனிடம் பல கேள்விகள் கேட்டார்.

இனி என் இமோஷன்களை கட்டுப்படுத்துவேன். இனி நான் ஒரு பாயாக இல்லாமல் மேனாக நடந்து கொள்வேன். நான் ரெமோ படத்தில் கஷ்டப்பட்டு நடித்து ஒன்றும் கிடைக்கவில்லை என நான் அழதேனோ என பலர் நினைத்துள்ளனர். நிச்சயமாக இல்லை.

இந்த பிரச்சனையை முறையாக முடித்து வைக்க வேண்டும். இனி நான் எச்சரிக்கையுடன் இருப்பேன். வளர்த்துவிட்ட ஏணியை சிவகார்த்திகேயன் கண்டுகொள்ளவில்லை என்று கூறப்படுவது அபாண்டம். எல்லோரும் நான் அவர்களின் கட்டுப்பாட்டில் இருக்க வேண்டும் என்று நினைக்கிறார்கள். இவ்வளவு தான் வளர வேண்டும் என்று நினைக்கிறார்கள். அவர்களுடன் சண்டை போட விரும்பவில்லை, ஒதுங்கிவிட்டேன்

Goundamani to make a comeback in Vetrimaran’s film

Goundamani, widely considered by many as the best-ever comedian to have descended on the Tamil film industry in the past several decades, is all set for a comeback in Tamil films. The 70-plus comedian has been on a self-imposed hiatus in films for the past few years.

Only recently did he sign up to play a doctor in a film titled Vaaimai. Vetrimaran, the national award-winning director who is a great fan of Goundamani, has reportedly convinced Goundamani to star in the lead role whose script was narrated to him recently.

The Goundamani-Senthil duo has starred in hundreds of films while Goundamani himself has starred in more than 750 films during the past three decades. Goundamani had earlier played the lead role in 12 films and though he got many offers in recent times, he hadn’t starred in any film with Thangam being his last film.

After Vaaimai, Goundamani would play the lead role in the film by Vetrimaran (to be directed by one of his aides) who wants to ‘honour’ the ace comedian through this film. Goundamani is said to have been ‘excited’ by the script and gave his consent as soon the narration of the script was over.

Director Cheran pleads to rescue his daughter from her boyfriend

After actor-director Cheran’s younger daughter Dhamini left her home on Friday, approached the police and filed a complaint against her father of trying to intimidating her lover Chandru alias Chandrasekhar(25), a former assistant to Cheran.

Breaking his silence on his daughter’s allegations against him, the shell-shocked Cheran met the media on Saturday. He was accompanied by Nadigar Sangam president Sarath Kumar, Fefsi president Ameer, Radha Ravi and director SP Jananathan. Before meeting the press, the actor had filed a counter complaint against Chandru and sought police help to rescue his daughter.

Meanwhile, Chandru who was living hiding for over a month, was summoned by the Thousand Lights police for questioning yesterday.

The actor became emotional while defending his position against his daughter’s lover, who is not the right choice for his daughter.

Cheran said, “I am not against love, but to Chandru. In fact my marriage was love marriage. As a responsible father, I should ensure that she gets a good husband. I am not from a wealthy family and don’t believe in social status. So initially I had agreed to their relationship, but his real face was revealed only after a background check. He does not have a good moral character, and I heard a lot of bad things about him. When it’s your own daughter, and you only want the best for her, how do I let her go?

I gave her(Dhamini) all the freedom. It was she who decided to stay away from her boyfriend, citing he was behaving like a sadist. In fact, she had herself submitted a written complaint on July 10 against Chandru, accusing of harassment . She was like my friend, I don’t know who led her astray.  I don’t believe in violence, even in my films I don’t keep violent scenes, and I have never hurt Chandru.“

He concluded that he would accept the marriage, if the guy chosen by his daughter is really good. Meanwhile Cheran’s wife Selvarani, who fell ill after this incident has been admitted to the hospital.

Chandru on the other hand, stands his ground. He claimed that he had left Chennai fearing threats from Cheran and his people. He told that he was asked to come to Kodambakkam Petrol bunk by a close-aide of Cheran on the pretext of sorting out the matter, but he was instead threatened by the director, his close-aide who called him over and his henchmen.

After the Though Lights police investigated the issye, Chandru has been sent back to his home with police protection, while Dhamini was sent to a government home.

Is Vijay in a position to cook 'Curry in Love'?

Yesterday the buzz was ripe that Ilayathalapathy Vijay might be a part of an English film by the name 'Curry in Love'. P Vasu is set to direct this film which also features a dream cast comprising the likes of Sonam Kapoor and Anil Kapoor, according to reports.

But it looks highly unlikely that Vijay would accept this project as his datebook is packed with movies such as Jilla, the future A R Murugadoss project and another tentative film for Aascar Films. This being the case, Vijay won't be in a position to take up this high profile project, one feels.

We hope to get a direct clarification from the star himself, in the coming days as the music of his Thalaivaa gets ready to release on June 21.

''Directing Vijay is beyond me'', Sundar C's candid talk

Sundar C is being speculated to work with Ajith in the near future, as the two have had initial discussions which would be made public if all things work out well. The director, fresh from the success of Theeya Velai Seiyyanum Kumaru, also talked to the press about working with the other big star of the generation, Vijay.

Vijay is known to expect a proper story narration from a director before deciding on whether to work with him or not. Sundar C feels that his chances of working with Vijay are severely handicapped as he isn't one who is good at story narration. Sundar admits that his strength is at screenplay writing.

But given the seamless nature of most of Sundar's screenplays and Vijay's inbuilt comedic sense, it won't be a surprise if Vijay decides to work with Sundar on a proper comedy entertainer, even without a proper story narration from the director. Such is his proven caliber.

Anushka and Hansika have been paired up opposite Surya in the film, whose audio-launch was held in Chennai, Hyderabad and Thiruvananthapuram recently. Hansika, the rising dream girl of Tamil Nadu does not belong to the slim-and-slender frame category, rather she falls into teh plumpy category.

படத்தின் இடைவேளை வரை டப்பிங் பேசிய ரஜினிகாந்த், இரண்டாம் பாதிக்கு கடந்த 6ம் தேதி டப்பிங் பேசி முடித்தார். இதனை அடுத்து சரத்குமார், ஆதி உள்ளிட்டோரும் படத்தில் தங்களது பகுதிகளுக்கு டப்பிங் பேசி முடித்து இருக்கிறார்கள்.

Santhanam not in Udhayanidhi’s next film?

Distributor-producer Udhayanidhi is shooting non-stop for his upcoming film Idhu Kathirvelan Kadhal wherein he has been paired opposite Nayanthara, one of the top actresses in both Tamil and Telugu film. Udhaya, who debuted as hero in last year’s super-duper hit film Oru Kal Oru Kannadi, is said to be taking his career as actor very seriously.

Udhaya’s next ‘target’ as heroine of his film after Idhu Kathirvelan Kadhal is said to be the lanky Anushka whom he likes a lot. Udhaya reportedly sent feelers to Anushka to know whether she was ready to pair up opposite him. After informing Anushka her fee and the dates required for the shoot, Anushka has reportedly said a tentative ‘yes’ to the proposal provided she is free from her pre committed schedule by that time.

Yet another decision taken by Udhaya is somewhat shocking: he has decided not to rope in Santhanam for his next film opposite Anushka. Though it’s a well-known fact that Santhanam was the sole reason for the success of Oru Kal Oru Kannadi and Udhaya himself had said in the past that it was Santhanam who ‘balances’ the film(s), he has taken the unexpected decision not without reason.

Unit sources of Idhu Kathirvelan Kadhal say on condition of anonymity that Santhanam’s busy schedule and (non-cooperative) attitude is delaying the shoot of the film which hasn’t gone down well with Udhaya who has decided that he’s had enough with Santhanam.

Adharvaa’s mother playing spoilsport in his career?

others have played prominent roles (off-the screen, though) in shaping the careers of their daughters in the film industries in all languages. Some mothers would accompany their daughters to the shooting spot, to the sets and even to outdoor locations. There are some mothers who even run the show for their daughters by deciding about the film their daughters might take up.

Some heroes have also had their fathers doubling up as their managers. In most cases, though, the fathers had only ‘demolished’ the careers of their respective sons by either demand exorbitant amount as fee to star in films or by making impractical demands about their stay along with their sons during out-door shoots.

The latest hero to be affected by the ‘intervention’ of either of the parents is our own Atharva, the talented young actor of the late Murali. Adhaarva, who debuted in films with Baana Kaathadi opposite Samantha, has since starred in a couple of films including Muppozhudhum Un Karpanaigal and Bala’s Paradesi besides making a ‘special appearance’ in K.V. Anand’s Ko.

Though he is billed as one of the most promising actors around, his mother is said to be controlling his career so much so that it has been becoming increasingly difficult for directors to get direct access to Adharvaa. A former aide of actor-director Cheran recently went to Adharvaa’s residence and after a brief talk, he said he was finalizing Adharvaa as the hero of the film he had in mind.

When Adharvaa said his mother would now talk about his fee and left the place, the director wasn’t amused at all. After an hour or so, Adharvaa received an SMS from the debutant director who said that he had ‘deleted’ Adharvaa’s name from his phone directory, apparently after the undue demand made by Adharvaa’s mother as fee for his son starring in the director’s film.

Vikram keen on bagging Bala’s next film?

Vikram is presently starring director Shankar’s upcoming Tamil-Telugu bilingual I opposite Britain’s Amy Jackson, who had starred with him in A.L. Vijay’s Thaandavam last year. Shankar, whose Nanban early last year proved to be an average hit, needs to deliver a super-duper hit to sustain his billing as the top director in Kollywood.

Even before wrapping up the shoot of I, Vikram is already on the look out for offers for his next film. Vikram, who is on the wrong side of the forties, is not being courted by film-makers in the same manner as it was the case some few years back. Reports which appeared in the press some weeks back said that Bala was considering casting Vikram in the lead in his next film.

Though appreciated by critics, Bala’s last film Paradesi fell flat at the box-office. It’s an entirely different issue that the box-office result of Paradesi would hardly have a bearing on Bala’s style of film-making. Though Vikram had been meeting Bala quite a few times in the past few weeks, Bala hasn’t reportedly confirmed that he would be roping in Vikram to essay the lead role in his untitled next film.

Unconfirmed reports say that Bala was planning to make a film starring Atharva and Sasikumar in the lead. Whether or not Vikram is aware of Bala’s plans remains uncertain but what is certain is that Vikram appears to be keen in being part of Bala’s next film. After all, didn’t Bala’s Pithamagan which released way back in 2003 help Vikram get his national award for ‘best actor’?
