Rajnikanth in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2

Post the release of Jodhaa Akbar on Friday, Feb 15, there hasn't been any popular release in Bollywood and the situation is likely to be the same till March 7th, when Subhash Ghai's Black and White hits the theatres.

In the interim, a lot of new Hollywood releases, some C-grade Hindi films and even some dubbed films are being released trying to cash in on the open weeks. However, what took us by surprise was when we saw this poster of the Rajinikanth starrer Chandramukhi which is lined for release this week. Apparently, this super-duper hit Tamil movie which released a couple of years back is now dubbed in Hindi and releases across cinemas today (Feb 29th).

Chandramukhi directed by P.Vasu stars Superstar Rajinikanth playing an eccentric psychiatrist along with south sensation Jyothika and Sonu Sood (who was last seen as Ash's brother in Jodhaa Akbar). The movie which has won 5 National awards is a spooky supernatural thriller. For the benefit of all those who came in late, last year's smash hit Bhool Bhulaiyaa starring Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan and Shiney Ahuja had a story very similar to Chandramukhi. Interestingly, Chandramukhi itself borrows its premise from the Malayalam film Manachitratazhu starring Shobhana.

So, to add a twist to your movie watching experience, check out the south blockbuster Chandramukhi starring Rajinikanth and Jyothika do the 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa' in Hindi.

ரஜினியின் ரோபோ படத்திற்கான கதையை முடித்து கொடுத்த பின் சுஜாதா மரணம் !

ரோபோட் படத்திற்காக தீவிரமாக உழைத்துக் கொண்டிருந்தார் சுஜாதா. ரோபோட் என்ற பெயருக்கு மாற்றாக இயந்திரன் என்ற பெயரையும் அவர் ஷங்கருக்கு பரிந்துரைத்திருந்தார். இந்த நிலையில் காலம் அவரை காவு கொண்டுள்ளது.

சில நாட்களுக்கு முன்புதான் ஷங்கரின் ரோபோட் படத்துக்கான ஸ்கிரிப்ட் வேலைகளை முடித்துக் கொடுத்தாராம் சுஜாதா. ஸ்கிரிப்ட்டை ஷங்கரிடம் கொடுத்த அவர் 'ஷங்கர் எனது வேலையை முடித்து விட்டேன். இனி எனக்கு டென்ஷன் இல்லை. இதுவே எனக்கு கடைசிப் படமாக இருந்தாலும் கவலை இல்லை' என்றாராம்.

அதேபோல ஸ்ரீபிரியாவின் தயாரிப்பில் சிம்ரன் நடிக்க ஜெயா டிவியில் ஒளிபரப்பாகவுள்ள 'சிம்ரன்' சின்னத்திரையின் முதல் கதையே சுஜாதாவின் கதைதான்.

அதுவே அவரது கடைசிப் படைப்பும் ஆகியுள்ளது. சுஜாதாவின் மறைவு தமிழ் படைப்புலகம் மாத்திரமல்ல கலையுலகத்துக்கும் பேரிழப்பு தான்.

Ameer Speaks about Thalaivar

Source: http://thatstamil.oneindia.in/movies/specials/2008/02/26-ameer-slams-on-actors.html

எனக்கு சினிமா மீது தீராத காதல் இருக்கிறது. நல்ல படங்கள் தரும் வெறி இருக்கிறது. ஏதோ என்னால்தான் அப்படி நல்ல படங்கள் தரமுடியும் என்ற இறுமாப்பு அல்ல அது. தமிழ் சினிமாவை உலக அரங்குக்குக் கொண்டு செல்லும் பலரது கனவை நனவாக்கும் பொறுப்பு அது.

நடிகர்கள் குறித்த எனது பார்வையிலும் நிறைய மாற்றங்களை ஏற்படுத்தக் காரணமாயிருந்தது இந்த பருத்தி வீரன்தான். குரு பக்தி, நன்றி போன்றவற்றை இனி எதிர்பார்ப்பதே அபத்தம்.

ரஜினி சார், கமல் போன்ற நடிகர்கள் ஏன் மாமனிதர்களாகவும் உலகம் போற்றும் கலைஞர்களாகவும் இருக்கிறார்கள் தெரியுமா? அவர்கள் தங்கள் குரு மீது கொண்ட பக்தியும், என்றும் மாறாத நன்றி விசுவாசமும்தான் அவர்களை இந்த நிலைக்கு உயர்த்தி இருக்கிறது.

நான் ரஜினி சாரை பலமுறை சந்தித்திருக்கிறேன். பாலச்சந்தரைப் பற்றிப் பேசும்போதெல்லாம் ஧ருமுறை கூட அவர் பெயரை உச்சரித்தில்லை. குருஜி என்றே கூறுவார். கமல் சாரும் அப்படித்தான். பாலச்சந்தரிடம் தான் வாங்கிய திட்டுக்களைக் கூட அப்படியே ஧ப்பிப்பார் அந்த ஧ப்பற்ற கலைஞன் இன்றைக்கும்.

பருத்திவீரன் படம் எடுத்த வகையில் இன்னும்கூட எனக்கு ரூ.1 கோடி வரை அதன் தயாரிப்பாளர் தர வேண்டியுள்ளது. படம் பெர்லின் விழா வரை போனால் என்ன பட்ட கடன் தானாகவே தள்ளுபடியாகிவிடுமா? என்றார் அமீர்.

And naturally he has bagged the offer for a huge sum. Reckon how much? It is nothing less than Rs. 8 crores. But then, grandiose, thy name is Shankar right ! ....

Superstar's Media awareness!! What Lawrence said.....

Here's yet another evidence which reveals that Superstar is keenly watching all happenings around him.

Raghavendra Lawrence is the Chief Guest of the Masthana Masthana show in Suntv which is being telecasted Sunday night.

Lawrence used to do a charity act through his trust at the end of the show each week and beneficiaries would be an orphan, an disabled person etc.etc.  That charity would be announced at the end of show itself.

Superstar - a fan of 'Masthana Masthana'

He said today in the show that: "Superstar called me last week and raved about the show and also appreciated my charity act. He expressed his wish to help me in my charity work and assured some sort of assitance. He is my true mentor. Am an ardent devotee of Sri Raghavendra. Whenever I think about Raghavendra Swamy it is Superstar who comes in my mind. He is a great soul. It is because of him that am here today. He will do whatever he says. I thank him in front of all of you here."

Media awareness - conveys something?

Note: I presented this information not because of the praising words of Lawrence. We have seen it lot. But to bring your notice that he is AWARE of each and everything in media and television. Lawrence has said that Supestar watches Masthana Masthana regularly. This is more important info. Not only this programme - he used to watch many important programmes. In recent times, we are coming to know lots such news about Supestar's media and other section awareness. Recently Dr.Gayathri Sreekanth has said in Nakeeran that Superstar attended DMK Front's Public Meeting which was held in Mylapore - Maangollai on Sethu Samudhiram project in disguise. These all are conveying something. And we shall not brush this as a simple activity.

Action King Arjun joins Super Star Rajini in Robot(Villain's Role)

Source: Buzz18.comWe'll never know for sure who's on and who isn't until Shankar decides to make a statement about the cast for his magnum opus Robot!

What we know for sure is that Rajinikanth will play the lead. But who will fit in the heroine's shoes remains to be seen. Even the villain's role and the other supporting characters have not been decided. The longer the silence, the stronger and stranger the assumptions!

The latest to join the winding list of Robot rumour is king of action Arjun, who apparently has been roped in for a pivotal role in the movie.

Will Arjun sport an anti-hero guise? His earlier ventures with Shankar were massive hits. Let's wait and watch!

Confusion over Rajini’s role in ‘Kuselan’

There have been lots of speculations about the girls who would act in 'Kuselan'. Now the latest speculation on 'Kuselan' is about its hero. Rajinikanth, it is said, is not keen in having a full-fledged role in the movie. He is believed to have requested the director P. Vasu to stick to the original, in which Mammootty played a relatively small role.

 

Earlier, it was told that Vasu was working on the script to enhance Rajini's role. But Rajini, who has planned to start his next project 'Robot' soon, is not willing to do a full fledged role, the grapevine says. Going by the indications, 'Kuselan' would probably fall in the line of 'Anbulla Rajinikanth'.

 

According to the sources, Vasu is not comfortable with it. If Rajini's role is not enhanced, the film would not make big business. So it is quite natural that both the director and producers would like to have a bigger role for Rajini.

Following this hiccup, the shooting, which was supposed to commence by February 15, has been postponed to March 1.

 

It is worth recalling that 'Chandramukhi' was a remake of the Malayalam blockbuster 'Manichitrathaazhu' where the story was modeled to satiate the fans of superstar Rajinikanth. Vasu shaped up the script to make Rajini's role bigger. The rest, as they say, is history.

 

Let us wait and watch if 'Kuselan' too creates such a history.

Superstar opens up regarding his future plans - Special Scoop

Superstar is a long lasting gold mine not only to the film industry but also to media houses. Whether the concerned media houses supports or opposes him ? he gives them good returns always.

An actor was holding an inaugural political conference yesterday in Madurai with money and muscle power. That didn't make any prominence in an eveninger (evening paper). But it was Superstar's news that made headlines and poster news in that paper. This it self is more than enough to prove the power of Superstar.

Yesterday, Maalai Malar carried a short and crispier interview of Superstar which was given by him to some Telugu press people in Hyderabad while he was attending a marriage there.

Guess what - the interview doesn't deceive you ? as it contains some vital information from the horse mouth itself.

Since transcript couldn't be found anywhere else, I present here the scanned version of the paper. And also a photograph of a bunk shop which displayed the wall poster of Maalai Malar which carried this as heading news. Later, in today papers I found this news. Thanthi has put this transcript fully and Dinamalar an edited and shorter version. In Dinamalar, the news has occupied the poster.

Pattimanram Raja's wonderful inputs on Sivaji's success!!

A few days before Pattimanram Raja came as a Guest in Sun TV's 'Asathha Povadhu Yaaru' programme.

While he was giving Guest Speech he didn't fail to speak about Sivaji which even the producer didn't.

Sivaji - a proud for Tamilians

"Ever since i acted in Sivaji - i am being referred as an actor who appeared in Sivaji alone. (He was referring his name has changed from Pattimanram Raja to Rajini's Father- in- law Raja.) During the shooting was going on or even now lots of people who meet me - wherever i go - ask only about Sivaji experience. I am proud for being associated in a Tamil film which got released over 800 centres for the first time in Tamil cinema industry and also became a smash hit all over the globe. Sivaji really made Tamilians proud. I couldn't just imagine my experience of acting with Superstar. It is a wonderful and unforgettable experience"

We thank Mr. Raja for sharing his views.

(With inputs from our member Giri Raghavan)

Regarding Kuselan:

As per media reports (today thanthi) Meena has replaced Tabu and Simran in Kuselan and she's all set to do the role which was done in original by herself. For me, it is a good decision to rope in Meena, as she is now acting in TV serials where all Thaaikulams are much familiar with her face. A good move by P Vasu. She'll pair Pasupathu in the movie whereas Nayantara will be Superstar's pair.

Stay tuned for more news...

The director also approached Vijay for the same and expecting his approval soon. Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna, Balakrishna and Mahesh Babu are also being approached for its Telugu version.

When this correspondent asked P Vasu about this grand gala song, the director has agreed that he has such an idea for the film. "But I'm not in a position of disclosing the details of actors, who are going to appear in that song. Let the viewers to wait with more eager," said Vasu.
