My films are story based - Madhavan

Madhavan is not keen on doing the remake of his Tanu Weds Manu in Tamil, rather is planning a sequel to it in Hindi..

He says, ‘My films are not typical films. My heroines have a lot more to do than just item numbers. My films are all story-based and the woman's character is very performance-oriented.’


The actor's hit films like Alaipayuthey and Tanu Weds Manu are prime examples of this. There were talks of remaking Tanu Weds Manu in Tamil with Maddy in the lead again. But now, it looks like the sequel in Hindi is priority.

Rajinikanth denies Ra.One special appearance? [Video]

http://thatstamil.oneindia.in/img/2011/09/26-rajinikanth-300.jpg
This news comes in the wake of buzz doing rounds in the film circles across the country that Superstar might do a cameo in the upcoming ‘Ra One.’

This SRK-Kareena Kapoor offing has been making news right from early days of its conception. Now when the film is almost over and readying to hit theatres there is more hype than ever. The latest that we heard was that southern Superstar Rajinikanth will be appearing in a cameo in this mega-budget film.

But the family of the Superstar has reportedly responded in the negative regarding Superstar's role in ‘Ra One.’ The reason being given is that Superstar is giving top priority to his ‘Rana.’ Not only that, the Superstar is also taking all care that he does not give his health a beating.

So with this, all rumours about the Superstar shooting for ‘Ra One’ as some even suggested from the Hyderabad studios, can be put to rest, until some solid piece of evidence from the Superstar’s kin is conveyed.

The Superstar will soon make his presence in KS Ravikumar’s ‘Rana.’ As hinted earlier, the talkie portions involving the lead actor will be shot first and then the director will move on with the other sequences. All associated with the filming are taking absolute care that nothing to strain the health of the superstar will be involved. The script too is touted to have been slightly altered to suit superstar’s health condition.

‘Rana’ sees Superstar in three super avatars with Deepika Padukone as one of the film’s main heroine.

Prithviraj to romance Rani Mukherjee for a Hindi flik

https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/229322_120923954655245_119304601483847_166099_689292_n.jpg
 South India's young superstar Prithviraj's debut Hindi film titled Ayya, in which he plays a Tamil painter, will have Rani Mukherjee as the heroine, reports said.

Directed by Anurag Kashyap, this proposed film will start rolling next month. Anurag and his team were reportedly impressed with the actor's performances in some of his Mollywood movies and consequently offered him the lead role in the offbeat film. Ayya also marks the Bollywood debut of National Award winning Marathi director Sachin Kundalkar.

Prithviraj said that he decided to do this project not because he fancies doing a Hindi film. "I rejected plenty of offers from Hindi. However, I found Anurag's script so interesting that I decided that Ayya would be my first Hindi film. I'll also be dubbing for the movie in Hindi," he added.

Gautham Menon's hindi VTV Prem Katha renamed

http://i52.tinypic.com/2qimp0g.jpg
Even as we get to hear that the new Ranbir Kapoor starrer is named after a song from a film starring his uncle Randhir Kapoor, the new Prateik starrer is named after a song in a Rishi Kapoor starrer. While Ayan Mukerjee's film with Ranbir is titled Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Gautham Menon's love story with Prateik has just been christened Ek Deewana Tha.

Prateik, who has now dropped the Babbar from his name, is hell-bent on going the solo hero way in a big way. So his next release, a love story that was earlier titled Prem Katha, has been renamed Ek Deewana Tha... to go with Prateik's character.

Apparently, Pratik plans to accept solo hero projects only. His next release My Friend Pinto is not only a solo hero project, it's also titled after Prateik's character.

And now Prateik's next project, Tamil film maker Gautham Menon's remake of his own Tamil hit Vainnaithaandi Varuvaa, is an out-and-out love story featuring Prateik and model-actress Amy Jackson.

Apparently, Prateik was keen that the film's title be pertinent to his character.

Says the source, "The original Tamil film was titled Vainnaithaandi Varuvaa which means, 'Will You Cross The Skies and Come?' Director Menon was thinking of a similar abstract title for the Hindi version. In fact it was to be called Prem Katha in Hindi. But then, it was decided that the film should have a zany title to go with Prateik's character."

Another factor which apparently played a hand in the film's renaming was Salman Khan. After Salman's Ek Tha Tiger it was felt that a title with the hero being extolled in the past tense created a sense of nostalgia and excitement.

"Besides," adds the source, "It's a line that comes from a favourite song of Prateik's... 'Ek Haseena Thi, Ek Deewana Tha'. The first three words of the song had already been used as the title of an Urmila Matondkar thriller. The makers of the Prateik starrer decided to use the second part of the Karz song for him."

Vijay Singh, CEO of Fox-Star, producers of Ek Deewana Tha, has confirmed the title.

Kajal Agarwal poses 'Topless' again for Filmfare [Pics]

http://www.southdreamz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/FHM-India-claims-Kajal-Agarwal-posed-topless-for-Filmfare.jpg
Kajal Agarwal is on a roll with her latest stripping acts for top Bollywood magazine covers. Recently the actress, for the first time in her career, went topless for the 'FHM' magazine cover, August issue.

The controversy prevailing with this photo shoot is that, the Bollywood actress has denied posing topless ever in her life and had even accused the magazine for allegedly morphing her picture. But, the newly released topless picture of Kajal Agarwal is completely revealing her back where she is grabbing on to a netted white fabric to cover her bust line with a green Apple in her right hand.

The photograph is quite convincing, but the actress is clearly denying such reports. Her first topless picture had Kajal covering her assets with her palms. Even the FHM India’s official Facebook page has posted a picture of the actress to show that they had not morphed and that the actress has actually posed for the topless picture.

For people, who want to confirm this by themselves, grab a September issue of Filmfare magazine.

Will Aamir choose Suriya's movie again?

http://tamil.way2movies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Aamir-KhanSuriya.jpg
Suriya’s 7am Arivu has turned out to be the talk of K-Town but B-Town actors too are eagerly waiting to watch the film.

Suriya has given his heart and soul for the film in the direction of AR Murugadoss. He had done three different roles in the film a circus artist, a scientist and a Buddhist monk. Suriya to perform the role of a circus artist has undergone rigorous training sessions of all the tricks and actions of circus activities.

Now Bollywood ace actor Aamir Khan has set his eyes on the release of the film and also in plans of doing the Hindi remake by replacing Suriya for the second time as he has Hindi remake of Ghajini earlier. In fact Aamir Khan wants to have A R Murugadoss as the director for Hindi version as he knows about his outstanding making.

If 7am Arivu turns out to be a hit then it is for sure that Aamir will be purchasing the remake rights to make it in Bollywood!

What Rajini doing in Shahrukh Khan's Ra One

Superstar Rajinikanth will be seen in a cameo in Shahrukh Khan’s sci-fi Ra.One. The Tamil actor has reportedly agreed to do a guest appearance in the forthcoming Bollywood film.

Sources say that Shahrukh Khan wanted Rajinikanth to be part of the film and that is the reason why the King of Bollywood recently said that Ra.One will pay tribute to the superstar’s Endhiran.

Rajinikanth’s portion will be shot at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad on October 3. It is said that the Tamil superstar will deliver the dialogue - Naan oru thadava sonna, nooru thadava sonna madhiri (When I have said something once, it should be assumed that I have said it a hundred times) – from his blockbuster movie Baasha.

It is learnt that Shahrukh Khan was thinking to have a lookalike of Rajinikanth but changed his mind to rope in the superstar himself for the scene. The Endhiran actor will be reportedly seen in a scene, where the Bollywood actor is under threat from deadly gangsters.

Rajini enters in a car and delivers the punching dialogue.
