Is Suriya controlling Karthi’s films and scripts?

It is strongly rumoured in Kollywood circles that Suriya, elder brother of actor Karthi, is ‘remote-controlling’ his younger sibling when it comes to accepting/rejecting movie offers. It is said that producers and directors, who want to sign up Karthi in their films, are to narrate the story at least ‘twice’ before getting to meet with Karthi. Though married, Suriya and Karthi stay as a joint family and live at their father and veteran actor Sivakumar’s Chennai residence.

While Suriya has firmly moved into the top bracket, Karthi’s rise to the top had been somehow arrested with the no-show of his last two films in Saguni and Alex Pandian. Karthi, who is getting ready for two big releases this year in Venkat Prabhu’s Biriyani and Suseenthiran’s All In All Azhagu Raja, hopes to set the record straight.

Earlier, Karthi had at his disposal a team which would listen to the script narrated by the director. The director’s narration would be shot on video and Karthi would watch the video, take suggestions from the team and then make up his mind whether or not to take up a film offer. The situation, however, appears to have changed in recent times in a drastic manner.

It turns out that Suriya chooses the scripts for his younger brother. The director would first have to narrate the story to the team, then to Suriya and finally to Karthi, if he is allowed a chance to meet him. As such, filmmakers are not so happy with all the channels they have to go through before getting to meet and talk to Karthi.

Vijay concedes Dhanush is a better actor than him

Actor Vijay surprised his fans and the audiences who had gathered in huge numbers to witness the awards ceremony of the 7th edition of the annual Vijay Awards instituted and carried on in great tradition by Vijay Television, a popular regional channel.

Vijay delivered a short speech after accepting the ‘favourite hero and Entertainer of the year’ awards. Earlier, he was welcomed to accept the award by Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan who used I’m Waiting, Vijay’s famed dialogue from Thuppakki.

After accepting the twin awards under two different categories, Vijay said “I have got two awards on this stage and I’m mighty happy about that. However, there is an actor who is more talented than me and he is sitting among the audiences. He’s none other than Dhanush, who is a damn good actor!” Vijay’s words drew a thunderous applause from the audiences.

It’s indeed rare for a frontline actor to appreciate one of his peers in front of a huge audience. Within a few hours after the event was over, Dhanush, who recieved the ‘Best Actor Male’ award, tweeted on his Twitter page thanking Vijay for his words of praise. “I personally thank Vijay Sir for appreciating me. However, he’s a huge star. I’m happy to have received the ‘Vijay award’ and the award (appreciation) from Vijay (Sir),” Dhanush has tweeted thus.

Shankar keeps fingers crossed on Srinivasan

Known as a meticulous planner, director-producer Shankar finds himself on a sticky wicket. Shankar, who included ‘power star’ Srinivasan as one of the cast members in his upcoming Tamil-Telugu bilingual I, is now thinking hard as to how to complete the film’s dubbing session as Srini has been cooling his heels in Vellore Central Prison after a barrage of complaints of money fraud were lodged with the police against him.

The ‘power’ had fizzled out of Srinivasan’s self-styled title as more and more complaints of fraud are being filed with the Police against Srini with each passing day. Srini’s continued stay in prison and the bleak prospects of him getting released permanently or on bail have shocked Shankar and Ramanarayanan, the two filmmakers who have films on floors starring Srini.

Srinivasan has however, cooperated well with Shankar and had reportedly completed the shoot of all the sequences in I involving himself. But the voice dubbing remain uncompleted. And to get it done, Shankar even thought of opting to seek the help of mimicry artistes to mimic the voice of Srini, but keep his fingers crossed for the actor to be out of the prison soon, so he can get the originality from the actor himself .

Nothing brewing between Siva and me, asserts Priya

Priya Anand has finally arrived. For long, she had been projected as a talented yet luckless actress. It appears that Lady Luck is finally smiling on dusky Priya whose latest film Ethir Neechal opposite Sivakarthikeyan has been declared as a ‘super-hit’ venture by trade circles.

Dhanush, who had produced the film, had organized a press-meet this week to celebrate the film’s success. Sivakarthikeyan, Priya Anand, Nanditha, Durai Senthilkumar, the debutant director of the film and music director Anirudh attended the press-meet and enthusiastically obliged queries posed by the newsmen.

Priya denied she was ‘close’ with Sivakarthikeyan off-screen. Priya and Siva, who had been paired opposite each other for the first time in Ethir Neechal, were rumoured to be getting too close to each other off-screen as well. A reported asked Priya as to what was going on between her and Siva.

Pat came the reply from Priya. “Nothing” she said, smiled and continued: “There is nothing brewing between me and Sivakarthikeyan other than the fact that we are good friends and are in the same profession,” she added. She also said with a mischievous smile that “I have been sitting at a fair distance from Sivakarthikeyan only to avoid such questions from you guys!”

To another query, she responded saying that no hero ever recommended her to any producer/director to sign her up in their films. “I have nothing to say about this as I had never been recommended by any hero and didn’t ever felt that such a necessity existed in my career,” she replied.

Vijay Sethupathy is the lucky talisman of Kollywood

From out of the blue, Vijay Sethupathy has silently but surely become the ‘safe bet’ of small and medium budget film producers in Kollywood. Vijay Sethupathy, who started his career with an insignificant role in Sibiraj’s Lee, had also essayed minor roles in hit films such as M Kumaran S/o Mahalakshmi and Pudhupettai.

After a somewhat ‘major’ role in Suseenthiran Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu, Sethupathy hit big time when he got the offer to play the lead role in director Seenu Ramasamy’s award-winning Thenmerku Paruvakaatru.

He then played the main villain in Sasikumar’s Sundarapandian and soon followed it up with Pizza and Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom where he played lead roles. The hat-trick of hits with these three films made cine-goers and critics to sit up and take notice of this rugged-looking yet talented guy. Soodhu Kavvum, his latest film which released last week, has also become a rage among youths with its comic content.

Success of Soodhu Kavvum has put Vijay firmly on the road to stardom as he has as many as seven films on hand. Vijay assures that not only the titles but also the scripts of all these films would be refreshing and entertaining.

Vijay also has made it a point to ensure that his films are directed not by popular directors but by first-timers and wannabe directors. The confidence he has managed to instill in them is immeasurable and he sure deserves a pat on the back for choosing small and medium-budget films and inexperienced yet talented film-makers.

Prabhudeva and Asin, What is going on?

As reported sometime ago Prabhu Deva is hoping to launch Shruti Haasan to dizzying heights of fame with his directorial Ramaiya Vasta Vaiya, awaiting its release on July 19th.Thereafter, his responsibilities will extend to his subsequent Hindi projects, one among them being the yet untitled Asin and Salman Khan feature.

However, it looks like the otherwise ‘always busy’ Prabhu who has lately been away from Chennai for a long time citing ‘busy schedules’ in Bollywood has set off pre-planning his project with Asin in particular. In fact, the duo who these days prefer walking hand in hand, don’t mind posing for the shutterbugs hugging each other intimately, expressing their fondness for each other.

Ever since, Prabhu shifted to a place in close proximity to Asin’s Mumbai residence there have been reports of the couple hanging out late nights. Their recent presence at the three day TOIFA Awards concluded with a well planned in advance private flight to Victoria, Australia. The picture above is a snap from their sight seeing session in Canada.

Looks like Prabhu cannot stay away women, Is Asin his next *** toy after Nayanthara?

Nagaraja Cholan MA MLA Movie Review: Missing Amaidhi Padai magic

Production: K Suresh, S Ravichandran
Cast: Sathyaraj, Manivannan,Seeman, Varsha Aswathy, Komal Sharma, Mridula Murali and others
Story, screenplay and direction: Manivannan
Music: James Vasanthan
Forget Amaidhi Padai or skip its sequel

Old-timers and veteran actor Sathyaraj’s fans must have waited with lots of hope and expectations to watch the ageing star back on screen essaying the lead role. In their landmark film (200th film as an actor for Sathyaraj and 50th film as a director for Manivannan), the famed duo disappoints the viewers though it cannot be said that the film is not without its share of interesting and enjoyable moments.

Nagaraja Cholan MA MLA Storyline

Billed as a sequel to the duo’s earlier hit film Amaidhi Padai which released in 1994, NCMM doesn’t exactly start off from where the first part ended. Instead, it traces the life of a power-hungry politician who would go to any length in saving his head and in ensuring that he stays in power irrespective of whatever happens around him.

Nagaraja Cholan (Sathyaraj) reenters politics along with his assistant Mani (Manivannan) after a brief hiatus. He gets the plump post of deputy chief minister thanks to his bargaining power. Later he manipulates his way to become the CM.

He signs up a contract with a foreign firm going against the advice of his officers that the contract would be detrimental to the environment and the interest of the tribal population in the State. As a result, the contract boomerangs on Nagaraja Chozhan who puts to good use all the dirty tactics he had learnt the harsh way in the murky world of politics.

The fight by the people led by the likes of Seeman makes things tougher to the CM.

Despite all his tricks and experience in politics Nagaraja Cholan finds himself behind the bars but his son rises at the right time to continue his legacy!

Nagaraja Cholan MA MLA Script review

Manivannan, the inimitable story-teller, is at work again and has made a film after a long, long time. Though the story is good, it hardly has anything new to offer to the viewers. We have seen many such movies post Amaidhi Padai and hence repeating the Amaidhi Padai magic with the same kind of sequences doesn’t work

However, Manivannan has aptly brought to the fore the unethical world of politics and politicians which is all about betrayal, clamour for women and money and not caring about the public who vote them to power.

The criticism on today’s politics and political leaders is quite powerful.

Nagaraja Cholan MA MLA Cast and crew

Without an iota of doubt, the positives of the film are the razor-sharp dialogues and the on-screen chemistry between Sathyaraj and Manivannan. It is apparent that the friendship between the duo off-screen manifests in their great on-screen combo.

Typical of Manivannan style, Sathyaraj promptly delivers those dialogues dipped in sarcasm while not failing to reflect the current political trend. Sathyaraj cakewalks through the role with his own style of nonchalant arrogance; it’s no wonder he loves these anti-hero kinds of roles. Aided greatly by the dialogues and script, his body language and the timing transform him into a seasoned, corrupt politician. There is also the hand of foreign forces acting on our politicians, displacement of Tribals and their livelihood.

The dialogues which criticize the present political scenario are nice: they criticize everything from power cuts to freebies to Vijaykanth to family welfare politics.

Manivannan, the actor, plays the perfect foil to Sathyaraj. Though the film has traces of its prequel, there is a newcomer who takes credit: Raghu, Manivannan’s son, plays Sathyaraj’s son in the film and has come out with flying colours in the presence of two veterans towering over him.

The heroines have been used strictly for the glamour part of it and Komal Sharma looks lovely and might have a long rein in tamil films.

Technically, cinematography is good.

James Vasanthan’s music is disappointing to say the least. Editing is shoddy at times.

Positive points

• Political satire
• Sathyaraj’s performance
• Dialogues between Sathyaraj and Manivannan

Negative points:

• Uninspiring music
• Boring second-half
• Clichéd script with full of predictable characters and incidents.

Verdict

Don’t expect the magic of Amaidhi Padai. Go with less expectations and you might enjoy it for Sathyaraj and Manivannan.

Getting closer with Nayanthara? Arya’s confession

Arya and Nayanthara are easily the most spoken-about stars in recent times in Kollywood. They are said to be in a ‘serious relationship’ these days.

Nayanthara, who has been into and out of her relationships with Simbu and Prabhu Deva in the past, is said to have found a ‘perfect soul-mate’ in Arya. Nayan was about to get married to Prabhu Deva when some misunderstanding crept in their relationship leading to their split and Nayan’s subsequent ‘sanyas’ from films and her anticipated come-back.

While Prabhu Deva remains single and insists he would remain so in future too, Nayanthara is said to be going ‘steady’ with Arya. While Nayan remains non-committal about the relationship other than saying she is just a close friend of Arya, the latter is somewhat forthright in his remarks about their relationship.

“It’s true that I’m close to Nayanthara….I’m on friendly terms with many actresses in the industry but my relationship with Nayan is something special. I can discuss all my personal affairs with her. It’s very difficult for me to keep responding all that has been said and written about us in the press.

“For the present, we are close with each other. At this very moment, I can’t comment as to what could be the ‘next stage’ in our relationship,” says Arya.

Beware of “Power Star” Srinivasan’s cheating tricks warns Chennai Police

In a statement issued in the public interest, the Chennai Police has asked the members of the public to beware of the cheating tricks adapted by the self-styled ‘power star’ Srinivasan. The lengthy statement reads thus: Srinivasan, hailing from Simmakkal in Madurai, is an arts graduate who then secured a degree in acupuncture treatment via distance education course from a Chinese university and started practicing as a doctor.

“He runs a hospital in Chennai and is married to Vijaya of Madurai. He later deserted her and is living with a woman named Julie in Chennai’s Anna Nagar locality. In order to fulfill his aspirations of becoming an actor, he started Baba Trading Company, a financial institution, and has cheated many customers. He is used to lure his customers by promising them huge amounts of loans on 10-20% commission basis.

“So far, he has cheated many to the tune of Rs.8 crores. Srinivasan has many brokers at his disposal who get in touch with industrialists and others in need of huge loans. Srinivasan would promise them of the loan, and takes the commission as security deposit in cash and give a them post dated cheque which is sure to bounce. Using the money he gets through commission, he runs his trading company and also has made films such as Lathika, Desiya Nedunchalai, Indrasena and Anandha Thollai.

“He has also acquired many real estate properties in his name in Saligramam and Anna Nagar. Investigations are on and all his bank accounts have been confiscated. Some notable cheating by Srinivasan include Ranganathan from Ongole (on whose complaint he was arrested), Jagadish Singh from Chandigarh and Prakash J. Rathore from Coimbatore besides advocate Jagannathan from Chennai.

“Various complaints have been filed separately against Srinivasan and investigations are on in all these cases. Public are hereby warned not to pay any more money to Srinivasan or any one related to him” the notice concluded.

Has Karthi asked Hari to drop Santhanam from Aruva

Though Karthi and Santhanam are certainly one of the most-loved hero-comedian pairs witnessed in Tamil cinema in recent times, what is being told around is Karthi has reportedly asked Hari to look for some other comedian to star alongside him in the director’s upcoming film Aruva.

Hari, who has given hit films such as Vel, Aaru and Singam with Suriya, is all set to release Singam-2 in a few weeks’ time. Now that the shoot of Singam-2 is over, Hari is all set to work for Suriya’s younger sibling Karthi for the first time and has named the film as Aruva.

Santhanam was Hari’s obvious choice as the comedian to work with Karthi as the duo has worked earlier in films such as Siruthai, Saguni and Alex Pandian. However, Karthi had other ideas and is said to have told Hari not to sign up Santhanam as the comedian in Aruva and look elsewhere.

Before you might wonder as to what was Karthi’s problem in starring with Santhanam, the former’s explanation was simple: he didn’t want to be spotted with Santhanam film after film as it would give a ‘jaded’ feeling to his fans and the audiences. It’s for this sole reason that Hari is now considering casting some other comedian in Aruva.

Akon seems to be in demand. He crooned two songs for Shah Rukh Khan’s Ra.One and now, his next project is with Kollywood actor Simbu. The singer will be recording with Simbu for his Love Anthem. He will be in Chennai till May 6, and will also shoot for the song’s video.

“Simbu is all set to record another version of his Love Anthem, and is collaborating with Akon for it. This number will talk about the oppression south Indians face in other countries. It will be more of a tribute song, and will focus mainly on spreading love and feeling of oneness,” says a source.

Simbu, of course, is excited about this collaboration, and says, “I’m very happy that Akon is coming down to namma Chennai to record for the final version of the Love Anthem. He will be in the city for three days to record for the song. He will also shoot for a day for it. The song has words in about 96 languages, and is about unity. We were scheduled to shoot in the US when I toured there, but couldn’t work out the dates at that time and now, it’s finally happening.”

“In his previous collaborations, Akon had just lent his voice. But with Love Anthem, he will be contributing to the lyrics department and also feature in its video,” adds the source.

எதிர்நீச்சல் – திரை விமர்சனம்

ஒவ்வொருவருக்குள்ளும் ஒளிந்திருக்கும் நெருடலைக் களமாக்கி, வித்தியாசமான களத்துடன் வெளிவந்திருக்கிறது ‘எதிர் நீச்சல்’. சிவகார்த்திகேயன், ‘கொலவெறி’ அனிருத் இசை, நடிகர் தனுஷின் தயாரிப்பு, என எதிர்பார்ப்பை ஏகத்துக்கும் கிளப்பிய ‘எதிர்நீச்சல்’ எப்படி…?

குலதெய்வத்தின் பெயரோ, பாட்டன் முப்பாட்டனுடைய பெயரோ… ஒருவருக்கு வைக்கும்போது அவருடைய மனநிலை எப்படி இருக்கும்? என்ற கருத்தோடு, ஒருவனது உழைப்பிலும் முயற்சியிலும் மட்டுமே வெற்றி புதைந்திருக்கிறதே தவிர, அவனது பெயரில் அல்ல… என்ற சாதாரண வரியினை முழு படமாக, திருப்தியாகக் கொடுத்ததற்காக மோஸ்ட் வெல்கம்… அறிமுக இயக்குனர் துரை செந்தில்குமார். பல வருடங்களாக புத்திர பாக்கியம் இல்லாமல் இருந்த சிவகார்த்திகேயனின் அம்மா, தனக்கு சுகப்பிரசவம் நடந்தால் ‘உனது பெயரையே சூட்டுகிறேன்’ என குலதேவத்திடம் வேண்டுகிறாள். அதன்படியே நடந்து, குழந்தைக்கும் ‘குஞ்சிதபாதசாமி’ என்ற பெயர் சூட்டப்பட, அது நாயகன் சிவகார்த்திகேயனுக்கு பள்ளி, கல்லூரி, நண்பர்கள் என எல்லா இடங்களிலும் மன உளைச்சலுக்கு ஆளாகவேண்டிய சூழல் ஏற்படுகிறது. எனவே, தனது பெயரை மாற்றிவிடலாம் என முடிவெடுக்கும்போது குடும்பத்தில் சில பிரச்சனைகள் எழவே மாற்றாமல் விட்டுவிடுகிறார். இப்படியே நகர்ந்துகொண்டிருக்கும்போது கடைசியில் ‘குஞ்சிதபாதம்’ என்கிற பெயர் தன் காதலுக்கே பிரச்சனையாக வரவே, ஒரு சுபயோக சுபதினத்தில் தனது பெயரை ஹரிஷ் என மாற்றிக்கொள்கிறார். கூடவே, குடியிருக்கும் வீடும், அவனது ஏரியாவும் மாறுகிறது. அப்போது நாயகனுக்கு அறிமுகமாகிறாள், ப்ரியா ஆனந்த். பள்ளி ஆசிரியையான அவள்மீது நட்பாகி பின் காதல் கொள்கிறார் சிவகார்த்திகேயன். அவருக்கும், ‘குஞ்சிதபாதம்’ என்ற பெயரை மாற்றிய விஷயம் தெரியவரவே, அதற்கு நாயகன் என்ன முடிவு எடுக்கிறான் என்பதே ‘எதிர்நீச்சல்’ படத்தின் கதை.

குஞ்ச்சிதபாதமாக நடித்திருக்கும் சிவகார்த்திகேயனுக்கு தன்னுடைய முழு திறமையை வெளிப்படுத்தும்படியான அற்புதமான கேரக்டர். பெயரால் அவர் படும் அவஸ்தைகள் அவ்வளவு அழகு…! காதலுக்காக சுத்துவது, காதலை வெளிப்படுத்துவது, காதலை வளர்ப்பது , பின் காதலை காப்பாற்றிக்கொள்ள போராடுவது என படம் முழுவதும் ஆக்கிரமிக்கிறார். நாயகி ப்ரியா ஆனந்தின் நடிப்பும் சிவாவுக்கு இணையாக பின்னிப்பெடலேடுக்கிறது. தவிர, இன்னொரு நாயகியாக நந்திதா கச்சிதம்! மற்றும் பிற கதாபாத்திரங்களில் நடித்துள்ள ஜெயப்பிரகாஷ், மனோபாலா, மதன்பாபு என அனைவரும் நிறைவு. இடைவேளை வரை மெல்ல ஊர்ந்துவரும் கதை, இடைவேளைக்குப் பிறகு பறக்கிறது… மராத்தான் போட்டியில் கலந்துகொள்ளும் சிவகார்த்திகேயன், அவருக்கு கோச்சாக வரும் நந்திதா, இருவருக்கிடையேயான அழகான பிளாஸ்பேக்… என ஒவ்வொரு காட்சியும் கவிதை ரகம்!

அனிருத் இசையில் பாடலகள் அனைத்தும் ஏற்கனவே ரசிகர்களுக்கு ஹிட் ரிப்பீட் மியூசிக்… பின்னணி இசையும் ஒகே. ஒரு மனிதனுக்குள் மாறி மாறி தோன்றும் இரு உணர்வுகளை அழகாகக் காட்டியிருக்கிறது வேல்ராஜின் கேமரா. இதுமட்டுமல்லாமல், படத்தின் வேகத்தை அதிவேகமாக்க, தனுஷ் ஆடிப்பாடும் ஒரு பார் சாங்… என படம் முழுக்க கொண்டாட்டம்தான்!
படத்தின் முதல் பாதியில் இருக்கும் வேகமும், காமெடியும் இரண்டாம் பாதியில் மிஸ்ஸிங். இடைவேளைக்கு பிறகு வரும் காயத்திரியின் பிளாஷ்பேக் ரொம்ப நீலம். அதனை தவிர்த்து இருந்தால் இப்படம் இன்னும் நன்றாக இருந்திருக்கும். நமக்கு பெற்றோர் வைக்கும் பெயர், நமது தலைமுறையின் தொடர்ச்சி… என்ற நல்ல கருத்தோடு முடிகிறது படம்.

மொத்தத்தில்… இந்த ‘எதிர்நீச்சல்’ மனதுக்கு இனிமையாய்…!

Yaaruda Mahesh Movie Review (.Yaaruda Mahesh: Romantic mystery served with fun)

Now the real twist: Shiva is shocked to know that he is not the real father of the child. He comes to know that a person named Mahesh is responsible for the pregnancy. He now tries to find out who is Mahesh.

Script Review:

The trailer which was received well has created lot of expectations about the film. Thought the film hasn’t lived up to the expectations, it’s not a complete disappointment either.

The director has come up with an engrossing script thanks to the fun revolving around youthful matters. Though there are quite a few double entrants, the one-liners are sure to attract youngsters, who form the major chunk of the film goers.

Jagan with the company of Sundeep rocks in funny scenes.

Cast and crew:

The director has got the casting right for the role of the hero. Sundeep Kishan is quite comfortable in fun and romance.

Dimple Chopade looks glamourous but she is not impressive in acting.

Jagan, Livingston and ‘Lollu Sabha’ Swaminathan have done their parts well. They add entertainment values of the film.

Gopisunder’s music is just about okay.

Positive points:

Fun, Youth appeal, Sundeep’s performance, Jagan’s one liners and Dimple’s glam

Negative points:

Double entrants
No excitement after the twist

Verdict:

The movie has entertaining value though the treatment is raw
