asins new endeavour

Asin is generally known to dub in her own voice in all the movies that she acts in - be it Tamil, Telugu or Hindi. In one of her upcoming Bollywood movies, she is playing the role of a Marathi girl and in keeping with her policy, she would be dubbing in her own voice for this role too. 

She has hired a Marathi tutor to help her perfect the language and the crew of this film is surprised by her willingness to learn and dedication to deliver.

I dont mind people watching Mugamoodi in pirated DVDs- Mysskin

Mysskin’s super hero film is all set to release on Friday the 31^st. In a pre-release press meet of the film, director Mysskin expressed how he is looking at the overall product. He compared Mugamoodi to old MGR films, where MGR even after getting thrashed severely by the villain, rises again and defeats the evil. “Still it doesn’t look bad at all. That is exactly how I have made this film. In Mugamoodi, Jiiva plays people’s savior,” Mysskin opened up.

“I don’t mind people watching this film on pirated DVDs. It is just that it will not look good and you will finally end up watching the film in theaters. So, I would recommend you to save that 50 bucks you spend on DVDs and watch it in theaters,” said the director.

Ajith between vikram and surya

There is an interesting pattern regarding the release of big films in the coming months. Thaandavam has been announced as a September 28 release by UTV Motion Pictures. English Vinglish has been slated for October 5 and Maattrraan has been confirmed recently as an October 12 release. 

So film buffs will get to experience Vikram, Ajith and Suriya back to back in subsequent weeks and that would be quite a feast for movie buffs. It must be noted that Ajith is playing just a cameo role in English Vinglish but his fans are very excited by his 'salt and pepper' look. Vikram and Suriya on the other hand have promised a different action treat with their respective films. 

Should be a good time for film buffs indeed.

KONJAM KOFFEE KONJAM KAADHAL MUSIC REVIEW

Starring: Hridayaraaj, Aditi, Revathi Menon, Nassar
Direction: Venky
Music: Phani Kalyan
Production: Ganeswar Tripathy And VenkyVocals: Prasanna, Neha Nair, Suchit Suresan, Snigdha Chandra, Ranina Reddy, Nivas, Gayathri SG, Shakthishree Gopalan, Phani Kalyan, Abhay Jodhpurkar, Yazin Nazar, Pooja, Sathya Prakash, Sharanya Srinivasan, Swara Swami, Mann Taneja
Lyrics: Chitraa Venky, Palani Bharathi, Adithi Deborah

Kaadhalae…  
Prasanna, Neha Nair
This is a pleasant and lilting melody with mellifluous vocals by both the singers. Both the instrumental interludes are unique. While the first interlude has western opera touches the second one is classical. Neha Nair might be the new musical sensation.

 Konjam Koffee Konjam Kaadhal…  
Suchit Suresan, Snigdha Chandra, Ranina Reddy
Straightaway the energy levels are set with the rock and roll jazzy style of the song. The song has more than a slight resemblance to Sillunu Oru Kaadhal’s title song. This is an experimental genre of song that is not generally tried in Tamil cinema. The instrumentals are typical of other songs in the ‘Blues’ genre and a pat to all the energetic singers.

Uyir Thozha…  
Nivas, Gayathri SG, Shakthishree Gopalan, Phani Kalyan, Abhay Jodhpurkar
This song is reminiscent of rock songs with inspirational lyrics. The instrumentals are typically heavy with the guitar being very prominent. The vocals and instrumentals also have a slight classical touch at places giving the song a nice fusion touch. An innovative cocktail, this number is. 

Sakkarakatti…
Yazin Nazar, Pooja
The piano instrumentals at the start set the mood for the song. It turns out to be a decent melody with the vocals falling a bit short. We expected more after the beautiful opening instrumentals.

Sakkarakatti (Dance Mix)…
Phani Kalyan, Ranina Reddy
A remix of the earlier duet which has the general techno elements associated with other remixes. It is foot tapping and serves the purpose expected of a remix. 

Adi Thaahira…
Sathya Prakash, Sharanya Srinivasan, Swara Swami
This song doesn’t make much of an impact with just the chorus bits adding some mischief and fun elements to it. The lyrics of this passable number give friendship some brownie points. 

I Love You…
Mann Taneja
Such mushy songs are generally a part of candy floss Hindi rom-coms. This one is short and entirely in English. A feel-good one.

king:The songs are perfect for a movie in the romance genre. The focus has been on feel-good songs and Phani Kalyan is another promising newbie on the block. Worth a shot for the energetic title number, the innovative Uyir Thozha and the lilting Kaadhalae …

anushka cries,alex pandiyan shooting in trouble

cinecastle has earlier reported that Anushka has returned to Chennai and the shooting for Alex Pandian with Karthi has resumed. However, as per industry reports, the shooting of the film got into trouble today.

Anushka has engaged a personal makeup woman and has brought her to the shooting spot of Alex Pandian. However, according to reports, about 30 members of the makeup union from here, barged into the shooting spot and demanded that the personal makeup woman be sent away. Apparently they were agitated that Anushka’s makeup person is not a member of the union. Also according to people present at the spot, they abused Anushka verbally. Anushka was shocked at the treatment meted out to her and cried and went running away from the scene.  

However, actor Karthi intervened and spoke to the union members. The shooting resumed only after the makeup woman was sent out from the place.

Alex Pandian's unique distinction

Generally Tamil movies are released in its original version in states like Karnataka and Kerala, while in neighboring Andhra Pradesh, Tamil movies are dubbed. All biggies generally follow this trend.

Karthi's Alex Pandian would go for a Malayalam dubbed version and stand out from the crowd. This would be Karthi's first Malayalam dub as all his movies have been released in Kerala as straight Tamil features till now. 

Anushka is his co-star in this movie and the film is fast nearing completion as it targets an October 12 release.

Mugamoodi on TV before release

The songs of Mugamoodi are already creating waves in the FM space and in the Internet thanks to some good work by composer K. Now, before the release of the movie itself, fans can catch up with the visuals of these songs too, on TV and the Internet. 

UTV has been aggressively marketing Mugamoodi and this is another move in reaching the movie to the audience. Given the success of songs like Vaayamoodi Summa Iruda, fans would be really excited to see the visuals, that too on their TV sets before the 31st itself.

Shankar says no partying to amy

When it comes to Shankar’s movies, the director expects his actors to give their best for it. And in a recent incident, the ace director has proved it again.

The Brit beauty Amy Jackson is playing the female lead in ‘I’, opposite Vikram. The actress, being a social person, had attended a party during a night and appeared for the shoot a bit tired in the morning. Shankar, watching her not delivering her best, requested her to party less, as it was affecting the overall output of the film. The director, who expects his actors to keep their looks secretive till the release of the film, has also asked her to keep her public appearances in check. And Amy has also agreed to abide by Shankar's instructions.

Anushka struggles.selvaraghavan bids adieu

Selvaraghavan and his Irandam Ulagam team involving Arya and Anushka had been shooting in exotic locations of Georgia for more than 40 days. The team has been shooting under very difficult conditions for this ambitious film of Selva.

Being a very big star in the south Indian film industry, the team says Anushka never complained about the inconveniences she was put through for such a long period. Though the tough conditions were mainly due to the locations they were shooting in, the pretty actress never failed to adapt to it, even if it involved staying in a common dormitory.

Highly pleased by the co-operation the actress gave for the shoot, director Selvaraghavan threw a farewell party for her. The actress is now back in Chennai and has joined the Alex Pandian team

There were rumors doing the rounds that the Mozart of Madras, A.R.Rahman would be making a cameo appearance in a Malayalam flick to be directed by Shajoon Kariyal. This film is apparently about five friends with one of them (Biju Menon) working in Rahman's orchestra. This lent credence to rumors that Rahman would accede to this cameo.But such rumors have been denied by the legend himself. Sources say that he has denied being part of any film as an actor. It seems he has also refused to grant the permission to make a movie based on him or members of his orchestra.
