Busy with filmy and endorsement commitments, the actor is leading a happy married life with Sneha, whom he says is showing extreme care and affection on him.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Meanwhile, the actor has signed a new project, which is to be directed by Rajan Madhav. Remember Rajan Madhav made an impressive debut with 'Muran', which had Prasanna playing a negative role.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This time, the 'Anjathey' actor is playing the lead role and Rajan Madhav is done with the script. Shooting is expected to get a kick start very soon.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Writing about the project on his microblogging page, Prasanna stated: "Me and a gang of super talented actors will be the cast. Will reveal names after official confirmations."</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There can be no two opinions that Santhanam is today the numero uno comedian of Tamil cinema. Impressed with his performance and timing sense, producers from the neighboring states have been vying to book him in their films.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR6SPSWaPW7lTsklJSE6jZm8eJ7jTS4SVaE6t0U7ga1O42K-9tY8O8i73o15GDFSmsBYIJX3-0h0Za_nFqwGqiBXRTgmPtEluJA4VYd1XuYvyp1q7ayCT8mCgJwLoYN7iAPdteJesDAocG/s1600/santhanam.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="364" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR6SPSWaPW7lTsklJSE6jZm8eJ7jTS4SVaE6t0U7ga1O42K-9tY8O8i73o15GDFSmsBYIJX3-0h0Za_nFqwGqiBXRTgmPtEluJA4VYd1XuYvyp1q7ayCT8mCgJwLoYN7iAPdteJesDAocG/s640/santhanam.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none;" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">While Mollywood movie makers have been asking the dates of Santhanam for a long time, Tollywood producers too have joined the list now.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is because many films these days are being made as Tamil-Telugu bilinguals. Even if they are no bilinguals, Telugu films are dubbed and released in Tamil and vice versa.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But it seems Santhanam is in no hurry. It is said that he is waiting for the release of the Telugu dubbed version of 'Oru Kal Oru Kannadi', which will be released in Andhra Pradesh in a grand manner soon.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Only after seeing its result, Santhanam is expected to sign straight Telugu projects.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The rise of Karthi Sivakumar in Tamil cinema is no inferior to any fairy tale. Just six-film old, the actor is now in the A-list of actors in Kollywood, which has the names of Superstar Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Ajith, Vijay, Suriya and Vikram.</span><br />
<img height="407" src="http://www.tamil.haihoi.com/Gallery/Downloads/Tamil-Actors-Gallery/Karthi-Latest-Stills/Karthi-Latest-Stills-0029.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none;" width="640" /><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If sources are to be believed, a leading producer recently signed Karthi for Rs 14 crore, a remuneration which is a dream for any aspiring star. This clearly shows the demand for the actor in the market.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">While 'Paruthiveeran' took him to the rural masses besides making the city audience notice him, his films, 'Aayirathil Oruvan', 'Paiyaa', 'Naan Mahan Alla' and 'Siruthai', made Karthi a household name in Tamil Nadu.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The opening of 'Saguni' has made him a bankable actor, on whom distributors and producers can bet big. The forthcoming films of Karthi are 'Alex Pandiyan', 'Biriyani' and 'All In All Azhagu Raja'.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The 'Thupaki' title has still not resolved! The hearing has been pushed from July 16 to July 19. A teaser will be unveiled only once the title has been finalized.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Remember the makers of 'Kallathupaki' filed a case against Thupaki as their similar titles might mislead the audience. The court has banned the makers from using the name Thupaki, as of now. A judgment will be made only on July 19.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Meanwhile there's an interesting development in the music front. It is said that Ilayathalapathy Vijay and Andrea have crooned a number in this film that has music composed by Harris Jayaraj. Madhan Karky has penned the lyrics for this peppy song.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Starring Vijay and Kajal Aggarwal the film is helmed by AR Murugadoss and is a suave cum mass action entertainer.</span><br />

<br />
It is said the girl will be seen with Kamal throughout the movie and she forms a pivotal part of the script. "She looks cute and acts well. Hence Kamal is impressed a lot," say sources.<br />
<br />
Recently, Kamal screened his ne<span style="background-color: white;">w film 'Viswaroopam' to Osborne of the 'Lord of the Rings' fame, and the two are now planning to collaborate on a project. "Kamal's concept inspired me and the discussions we've had convinced me that it would be something worthy for us to pursue," Osborne said.</span><br />
<br />
The Hollywood producer said he met Haasan several times in the past, and decided to work together on a film after seeing his work on Vishwaroop.<br />
<br />
"I am impressed by what he has accomplished on Vishwaroop. After that, we started talking on ideas and the possibility of working together. His knowledge of history, literature, and films is encyclopedic. Kamal presented an idea to me that was so compelling that I couldn't resist working with him," he said.<br />

Kajal who is doing these two Tamil films, two other Telugu projects and a Hindi film, simultaneously, has her dates all messed up thanks to few delays in shoot that occurred in between.</span><br />
<br />
Both the teams, Maatraan and Thupaki, are waiting for the actress' dates to shoot the pending songs.<br />
<br />
Two songs featuring her and Vijay are pending to be canned which will be shot in August. Whereas a romantic number on her and Suriya for 'Maatraan' will be shot in a Chennai studio in August as well.<br />
<br />
While 'Thupaki' is slated for a Diwali release, 'Maatraan' is touted to grace big screens sometime in September. Remember both the biggies were initially slated for an August 15 release.<br />

Talking to journalists, the director said, "Singam 2 will be more racy and pacy when compared to the first part. Unlike Singam, the movie will be shot in foreign locales, especially in South Africa."<br />
<br />
Stating that plans are on to rope in an African actor to play the baddie, Hari said the shooting would be completed at the earliest. "Manorama will make her comeback with this film," he informed.<br />

Happy to join hands with Suriya again, Hari said, "This is for the fourth time we are coming together (after 'Aaru', 'Velu' and 'Singam'). He is ready to do whatever demanded by the director."<br />

<br />
Actress Lakshmi Ramakrishnan, who has turned into a filmmaker with 'Aarohanam', has an interesting experience to share with. It's about her encounters with government officials, to get tax exemption to her maiden directorial venture.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://img.indiaglitz.com/tamil/news/aarohanam17712music_m.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://img.indiaglitz.com/tamil/news/aarohanam17712music_m.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
"Already swelling with praises, Aarohanam was viewed in the same light by the censor board and the tax exemption committee, which sincerely felt that such movies were the need of the society. Humbled and contended, I sat back and awaited the tax exemption certificate," she said in a letter to the media.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The 'Yudhdham Sei' fame actress said: "Three weeks later, I still had heard no word fro the authorities, I began to fret. Rumors and warnings that greasing the hands of officials is mandatory for a certificate started finding their way into my worries. With my already frugal budget, I could hardly even afford to think of shedding another pie for no reason at all! I decided to handle matters in my own way. I contacted a few friends in the anti corruption cells and was flooded with advise as to what should be my strategy in handling corrupt officials".<br />
<br />
"Seeing no reason in playing the blame game, I decided to test the waters myself. So I woke up one morning and walked straight to Ezhilagam, the commercial taxes department!"<br />
<br />
"However, to my utter surprise I received a warm welcome and was informed that the Aarohanam tax exemption file stayed in the tax dept for no longer than 30 minutes, after which it was transferred to the secretariat for further processing. Phew! Nothing to fret now, thought my mind! But then the taunting returned, "It's the secretariat that is corrupt", "it wouldn't pass from there for months until you show up with a suitcase", "no one knows what happens inside" and so on and so forth!"<br />
<br />
She further said: "In no mood to give up, I marched to the secretariat. A peon shows me to the deputy secretary's room. He seems like a nice man. I explain to him my purpose of visit and he seems to look pretty flustered. I recall the accounts I heard of people paying Rs X amount for Y movie, and he is totally taken aback! He denies any of the accusations and directs me to the secretary's room. A friendly looking middle aged woman, the secretary's assistant greets me and asks me to fill in my credentials to communicate to the secretary on a chit! Tired, frustrated, hungry and almost at my wits end, "Lakshmy Ramakrishnan, Actor, Filmmaker and Homemaker", I scribble on a chit and ask her to pass it on. Needless to say, I get a call in two minutes."<br />
<br />
"I walk into this room, to find a fine looking gentleman, sitting calmly on his seat. He seems to know his manners and his etiquette turns out scot free. I feel comfortable communing with him, and eventually recount all the happenings. At the end of my story, he takes a quick moment sinking in the situation, and then, without even a trace of guilt on his face, he denies all charges against his department."<br />
<br />
"He has all the information ready for me, right from when the file came in, what were the procedures performed and what is its current status. He re-affirms that the file is currently with the minister and that he will personally remind him about the same. He assures me that Aarohanam has been highly recommended for tax exemption as it satisfies all the required qualities including a clean 'U' certificate and a Tamil title."<br />
<br />
"He further goes on to say that his department is corruption free and he makes sure that every soul within his department has their hands clean. I sit there for a while gaping at him, trying to sink in the irony of the situation. I heard a government official speak confidently about his ways. I was dumbfounded. All those false rumors fall apart in a jiffy. I immediately take the chance and tell him what an eye-opener it was to have met him and leave without taking much of his time."<br />
<br />
"Walking out of a government office after a pleasant encounter with a government official, it dawns on me that things are not as dark as they are made out to be! It is time we got into the so called 'rut' and discover for ourselves, for who knows, it may be a completely different picture altogether," Lakshmi concluded.<br />

"I was speechless when I heard the final version. It's pure music that's what I call it. Thanks to Gautam for making me sing the song," says Yuvan.<br />
<br />
He adds: "Been tripping on Saindhu Saindhu like mad really blessed to be a part of that song... unimaginable music... dads's great... The musician has given more than one reason to stay tuned for the films music."<br />
<br />
Starring Jiiva and Samantha in lead roles, 'Neethanae En Ponvasantham' is nearing completion and is expected to see the light of the day soon. It is simultaneously being made in Telugu and Hindi too.<br />

<a href="http://akamai.maastars.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Kamal-Hassan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="476" src="http://akamai.maastars.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Kamal-Hassan.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none;" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Kamal, while accepting Tarantino's compliment, said in an interview: "When I did the animation action sequence 12 years ago it was seen as self-indulgent and odd by a lot of people. Now that it has been endorsed by a filmmaker of such brilliance, critics will be kinder to some of the things I attempt in my films."<br />
<br />
It was way back in 2001 Kamal Haasan did an 'Aalavandhan' ('Abhay' in Hindi) where he played a dangerous psychopath. In this movie, Kamal used graphic sequences to portray the violence.<br />

<img border="0" height="288" src="http://img.indiaglitz.com/tamil/news/briyani16712_m1.jpg" width="640" /><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Karthi Sivakumar and Richa Gangopadhyay play key roles in this movie, which is touted as a romantic thriller loaded with humor. Music is by Yuvan Shankar Raja and this is his 100th film.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"Though there are plans to shoot the film in various locations, Chennai and Hyderabad will be the prime spots where Biriyani will be cooked," say sources close to the unit.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">According to Venkat Prabhu, this 'Biriyani' is for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. And Richa feels so happy to be part of the flick. She says she missed an opportunity to work with Venkat Prabhu in 'Mankatha' and now thrilled to join forces with him.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Vishnu and Sunaina have both been seen in conventional roles than contemporary ones. The duo are getting together for the first time in Seenuramasamy's Neerparavai. In a particular song they have shared 100 plus kisses which is now being promoted as the maximum number of kisses in Tamil cinema!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">"We shot a song, Devan Magale... that's written by Vairamuthu and crooned by Prasanna and Saindhavi. The track appears after the couple meet after a longtime of separation and they express and love and happiness in this way. But they have been shot aesthetically and will not offend the viewers", says the director.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">The film will also mark the comeback of Nandita Das in Tamil cinema. It's about the fishermen community and how sometimes when they get lost in the sea they are either caught or shot at when they cross borders unknowingly.</span><br />

Finally, the First Look of Shankar - Vikram's I was unveiled on Sunday (July 15), the last auspicious day of the month, as Aadi begins from July 16. The first look release was preceded by a pooja function.<br />
<br />
Produced by Aascar Films, the film by Shankar sees Vikram and Amy Jackson in the lead roles with music by AR Rahman. The film sees Amy Jackson as an international model.<br />
<br />
The poster sees Vikram flaunting off his six packs, carrying Amy on his shoulders and walking against all odds of a fierce wind blow. The First Look image is stunning with the usage of only black, grey, red shades that brings about a bold look without even showing the faces of the lead actors.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00941577683103447867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872381137776813202.post-61419322612439976792012-07-16T04:19:00.001-07:002012-07-16T04:19:32.383-07:00Prabhu Deva does an ad shoot with Virat Kohli<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The playback singer in multifaceted Kamal Haasan needs no introduction; however he was last heard only in 2010 in 'Manmadhan Ambu'. The ace film star has now crooned a peppy number in 'Haridas'.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It is said that the song's concept and Vijay Antony's tunes for the track is what that attracted Kamal the most before giving his nod for the project. GNR Kumaravelan has indeed managed to make several headlines by roping in Kamal Haasan as a playback singer for a track.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">'Haridas' featuring Kishore and Sneha is touted to throw light on the emotional conflicts between a 8-year old and his father. The film was recently in news as the crew got caught in rough waters. 'Haridas' will be Sneha's second release post her wedding, the first being 'Murattu Kaalai' that was shot ages ago.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">That Vivek has ventured into a mass campaign christened 'Green Kalam Project' is known to many. Under the guidance of former President Dr APJ Abdul Kalam he had already planted more than 13 lakh trees in a span of less than three months.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"Though I was given a target of 10 lakh trees by Abdul Kalam ji we were able to achieve this feat principally and practically only with the awareness and cooperation of the public, the school children and administrations in particular," says the actor in a press release.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">He adds: "I want to make a special mention about my friend Murugan and Mullaivanam of Tree Bank without whose help we wouldn't have traveled so far."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">On 28 June, the acted planted trees at the vicinity of Shri Sai Viswaroopa Sai Baba temple at Valasaravakkam, braving the heavy rain that lashed the city.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The South India Dance Directors Association (SIDAA), led by veteran choreographer Raghuram, has become a registered body with the Tamil Nadu government as per the trade union rules.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Following this, the first executive committee meeting took place in Chennai recently, where it was decided to affiliate the union with the Film Employees Federation of South India (FEFSI).</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Later, as per the request of dance directors and accepting the invitation from FEFSI, Raghuram and association treasurer DKS Babu went to FEFSI office and called on newly elected office-bearers of FEFSI, president Ameer and secretary Siva.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They handed over a letter of intention to affiliate the union with FEFSI. "The first round of talks was very smooth and satisfactory. A good decision will be announced soon," a press release said.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The art department of Superstar Rajinikanth's next 'Kochadaiyaan' is probably the biggest among the films that were made in the recent times, one has to say.</span><br />
<img height="485" src="http://www.hotgossips.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/rajini_kochadaiyaan_first_look_posters_wallpapers_3577.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none;" width="640" /><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">More than 150 members are part of the team, led by art director Velu. "Director Soundarya R Ashwin handpicked 42 students from the Fine Arts College in Chennai for the task. Besides this, 50 experienced persons from Kumbakonam Fine Arts College and 60 Concept Artistes are working in this movie," states a press release.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Produced by Eros International in association with Media One Global Entertainment, 'Kochadaiyaan', being made on 3D using performance capture technology, has Rajini playing a dual role. It's a commercial period drama that throws light on war between 3 kings.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Deepika Padukone is the heroine, while Sarath Kumar, Jackie Shroff, Aadhi, Nasser, Shobana and Rukmini are playing crucial roles. Music is by A R Rahman, and the Superstar himself has crooned a song in this big flick.</span><br />
