It is a practice in the film industry to begin the advance booking of a film just one week prior to its release. But Endhiran has broken all barriers and the advance booking commenced 10 days before the release date.
The advance booking is on full swing in several theatres in the Chennai city. But this is being done only in theatres and not at the multiplexes. The multiplexes are, however, booking bulk orders from their corporate clients.
Endhiran is a big budget film which is produced by Sun Pictures. The film is directed by Shankar and has Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in the lead.

Rajini to Himalayas- During endhiran release
Superstar Rajinikanth's sentiment, among many, is to spend peaceful time, in a spiritual place, before the release of his film. Even last time, before the release of Sivaji, Rajini flew to the Himalayas and spent some time there. This time around, Rajini had already planned to go on a spiritual visit after his daughter Soundarya's marriage and before the release of Endhiran. As everything has gone according to plan without any hiccups, Rajini will make a trip shortly to the Holy lands of Hardwar to recuperate himself.
Ironically, his daughter Soundarya and son-in-law Ashwin will be flying to a secluded island in the Indian Ocean for their honeymoon. As is also customary, the entire family will get together for the release of the movie and watch it First Day First Show at the Albert Theatre.

Reason For delayed release of Endhiran
The wait for Endhiran seems to be over as it has been officially announced that the film will be released on October 1, 2010. The reasons told for the delay in release are many. Sources from Kollywood inform that the film's release has been delayed because of one main reason. It is told that since the verdict on the Ayodhya Babri Masjid issue is due on September 24, 2010, the producers did not want to risk by releasing the movie on the same day.
In fact, the release dates of many other movies which are slated to be released on or around the September 24 date are also being revised. Whatever the case may be, we all await the gala opening of the superstar's Endiran!

Endhiran- Overseas ticket sales magic
The advance booking for Endhiran began at Jackson Heights, a theatre in New York, US, two weeks prior to the release of the film following huge expectations among the fans. The theatre authorities were reportedly surprised to find that all the tickets for the first week shows were sold within 10 minutes of opening the booking.
Endhiran also gets the distinction of being the first Indian film in the US where the tickets were sold within a few minutes of commencing the advance booking.
The reason for its immense popularity is the star cast, which comprises of Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai, producer Sun Pictures, director Shankar and music director AR Rahman.

How can a Bus conductor become Scientist-- Rajnikanth ?
As a lead up to the impending extravaganza, the trailer of the Rajinikanth starrer magnum opus Endhiran was released on September 11, 2010 all over Tamil Nadu. For the first time, probably in the history of Tamil cinema, the trailer release event was held with much fanfare and witnessed wild frenzy of the superstar’s fans across the state.
Satyam Cinemas played host to the trailer release event that was held in Chennai. The trailer was released by Rajini in the presence of producer and Sun Network’s Kalanidhi Maran. Suffice to say the event was star-studded and Tamil cinema, in its entirety, gathered at Satyam to cheer for the Endhiran team and the superstar himself on the feat. In other parts of Tamil Nadu, hundreds of Rajini fans made sure the event is given its due credit by bursting crackers and bringing the CD of the trailer in procession.
The Chennai event was peppered with arousing speeches by the who’s who of the Tamil film industry including Rajini himself, Vairamuthu, Shankar, K S Ravikumar, Lawrence, Baghyaraj, Cheran, Vijayakumar, Arya, Sarathkumar, Abhirami Ramanathan, Vivek, Parthiban and V C Guhanathan, apart from the invitees that ran into hundreds of names.
Rajini on Endhiran
“You will see many such interviews and speeches on the movie in the days to come. So I’ll keep this really short,” Rajini started off with his brief speech. While recalling Kalanidhi Maran’s unrelenting cooperation for the movie, Rajini mentioned that Mr. Maran is a very good planner. “Maran realized Shankar’s dream, without which the movie would not have been possible,” he said.
He also reminisced his initial skepticism in starring in a scientist’s role when the story was narrated to him by Shankar. Rajini said he asked Shankar that he has been doing only the roles of blue collared people like auto drivers and laborers. “I have been a conductor. I will only fit in those roles. I have my doubts about playing a scientist. But Shankar plainly asked me to visit the sets. I did obligingly. And the rest is for all to see,” Rajini admitted that he is impressed with Shankar’s talents.
He also mentioned about his doubts on performing the role of a robot. “Shankar did all the homework for me and if you think I’m a pretty good robot in the movie, only Shankar is responsible for it,” he added. As an ending note, Rajini said that he would only act in movies that make the Tamils proud.
Shankar on the highlights of Endhiran
In his speech, Shankar revealed the highlights of his million dollar baby. He detailed the interesting events behind the making of the movie. He stated that; while the trailer underlined the significant highlights of the movie, the movie itself will have hundreds of such scenes. “Rahman has scored three types of music for Endhiran, namely Symphony, Electronics and Indian Style,” Shankar said.
“While Oscar winner Pookkutty’s sound engineering will be poetic, cinematographer Rathnavelu made sure he brought out the handsome Rajini in every frame. The two robots in the movie are art director Sabu Cyril’s creations. To add to this, there is an electronic mosquito in the movie, called Ranguski. Late writer Sujatha came up with the name, incidentally that’s his childhood nick name among his friends”, he said.
He also praised the efforts of lyricist Pa. Vijay, Editor Anthony, Karunas and Santhanam. Shankar revealed that while Rajini played both the characters of the scientist and the robot there is another suspense character in the movie that will appear in the last 45 minutes of the movie.
Vairamuthu
Lyricist Vairamuthu, in his statement, mentioned that Endhiran should be dubbed in English. “Endhiran deserves to be dubbed in English, while we have movies like Avatar, Gladiator and Titanic dubbed in Tamil,” he wished.
Kalanidhi Maran
Mr. Maran declared that Rajini has already become an all India superstar what with the impending release of Endhiran on the cards. He revealed that the trailer was already shown to the Chief Minister who was awed by it.
Snippets of other speeches
K. S. Ravikumar said that he’s eager to watch the movie when it’s released before declaring that Rajini will even sing duets at the age of 80 since he’s ageless. Bhagyaraj, in his speech, reflected the sentiments of Vairamuthu and said that folks at Sun Pictures have proved that a movie which the entire world is expecting could be produced in Tamil too. Sharath wished that Mr. Maran would go to Hollywood to produce movies and would also get an Oscar. Vivek averred that he’s one of those people who want to watch the movie on the first day of its release.
The event was also attended by Latha Rajinikanth, Soundarya, Ashwin, Aishwarya Dhanush, Sundar C, Karan, Arun Vijay, Sibiraj, Jai, Shaam, Nakul, Dushyanth, Krishna, Dharani, Lingusamy, Kicha, producers Sathyajothi Thyagarajan, Kaja Mohideen, Editor Mohan, Amma Creations Shiva, Ayyappan, Sivashiri Srinivasan, K Muralidharan, Murali Narayanan and editor Anthony.

Endhiran Audio Review Thread
1. Pudhiya Manidha - SPB, AR Rahman, Khatija Rahman
A completely unusual intro song for Superstar Rajnikanth. A kind of a slow groovy start to the song with Rahman behind the mike crooning and is later joined by his daughter, Khatija, who debuts in singing. Once SPB hits the mike, the song hits fever pitch. Nostalgic memories flow of Rajni's memorable association with SPB in various blockbuster hit songs. Even at this age, SPB sings like an emperor who has complete control of himself. Rahman has the guts to experiment in a 'Rajni intro song' but his experiment here is a super success! People will still say Oruvan Oruvan was the best intro, but the class of this song is on a far different level
Rating: 5/5
2. Irumbile Oru Idhaiyam - AR Rahman, Krish 'N Krissy
A techno kind of a track, that has the man himself, Rahman, singing it. A perfect track for the discotheques, the energy of the track is infectious. Rahman delivers the track with the kind of ease that he is always known for. This could be a track that would not find favor with everybody in their initial listenings, but this is a highly infectious track that will keep you grooving and dancing as you keep listening to it more and more. Kash 'N Krissy seem to be a very good find (sung the 'Dochey' song in the Telugu movie Puli with music by Rahman).
Rating: 4/5
3. Kilimanjaro - Javed Ali, Chinmayi
Another peppy song, this one starts with tribal kind of beats. Javed Ali, the new regular in ARR's troupe predictably carries off the song in his own lively way. Chinmayi is the surprise here. Her voice is completely unrecognisable, and it rears up at only a few places near the end that its actually Chinmayi singing. But she is brilliant. Excellently voice modulated. A very entertaining track, the kind of track that 6 to 60 age group people will enjoy. Excellent random use of tabla by ARR in the song along with the drum beats. He is the experimentor's delight. A sure superhit track, the visuals (Shankar should ace it as per prediction) should take this track to great heights.
Rating: 4.5/5
4. Kadhal Anukkal - Vijay Prakash, Shreya Goshal
A Bollywood kind of romantic melody track that finds a place in Endhiran. Surprising since its a Rajni film, but the track rocks! Vijay Prakash, who has rapidly grown in stature in the Tamil music scene with songs like 'Hosanaa' and 'Veera Veera' (both Rahman tracks) is in top form with this song. And joining him is the queen of current Indian female playback singing, Shreya Goshal. Both singers complement each other really well and lift the song very well. A Rahman vintage track, the beats and the instrumentation are in perfect sync and are really attractive to hear. A feel good track, one that can be played on a romantic evening.
Rating: 4.2/5
5. Chitti Dance Showcase - Pradeep Vijay, Pravin Mani, Yogi B
Looks like some kind a theme track. Reminds one of the 'Liquid Dance' track from Slumdog Millionaire. Excellent beats and guitar really rock this song. The pace of the song fluctuates wildly but the music at each pace is so good to listen that you completely do not mind it. If used as a theme song, this track will enhance the movie like no other. One of the best theme tracks (if it is one).

Rating: 4.5/5
Overall: Awesome album that will be a feast for Superstar's fans and for Rahman fans. An album that is highly entertaining and should break records before the film's release. Considering that the director is Shankar, expect the songs to be called "classic, masterpiece" after the song visuals come out. The combo of Shankar and Rahman NEVER FAILS!

Neetu Worried About her personal life
Neetu Chandra is worried a lot about the way her personal life has changed after stepping into the tinsel town. “I find it difficult to walk freely on the road. My personal life has gone for a toss,” she says.
The bombshell, who says she knew these things would happen and was ready for it, adds: “But somehow I feel uneasy when people recognise me when I walk on the road. I have lost my freedom, if I am right.”
Introduced by Priyadarshan in his Hindi film ‘Garam Masala’, Neetu has so far acted in 11 films in Hindi, three in Telugu and two in Tamil -‘Yavarum Nalam’ and ‘Theeradha Vilaiyattu Pillai’. And now, she has more offers in her bag.
“I am there in four upcoming Hindi films. I am eagerly waiting to do a challenging role in a Tamil movie. Recently, I have done a dance number with director Ameer for ‘Yutham Sei’, directed by Mysskin,” she adds.

Hey folks... things are getting clearer on the next film of Ajith. There were enough truth and gossips were written on Ajith's film after the not so good ‘Aasal’. So after Gautham Menon walked out of the project IndiaGlitz first reported that Venkat Prabhu and Ajith had a secret meeting to discuss a film together.
Now the truth is out. Ajith's next film is produced by Dhayanidhi Alagiri and directed by Venkat Prabhu. And the film is titled ‘Mangatha’.
And the other truth is Anushka will sing and dance with Ajith replacing Samantha. Samantha was considered for the heroine role when Gautham was to do the film. ‘Mangatha’ is a big leap in the graph of Anushka as she is pairing with the third top hero this year. After ‘Vettaikkaran’ with Vijay and ‘Singam’ with Suriya, ‘Mangatha’ with Ajith is a dream offer for Anushka.
But it does cross our minds here Anushka's comment while speaking at the press meet of ‘Singam’ is Telugu dubbed version 'Yamudu' only a couple of days ago. At the press meet Anushka said “Although I do films in Tamil my first preference undoubtedly is Telugu”. ‘Singam’ was her third film and first hit in Tamil after ‘Rendu’ with Madhavan and ‘Vettaikkaran’ with Vijay.

Aish Gets Rajini's Blessings
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan not just took Superstar Rajinkanth, but the entire ‘Endhiran’ unit by surprise, when she touched the top actor’s feet to seek his blessings during the last day of the shooting of the film last week.
According to reports, the former Miss World found it hard to leave the place (Sun Studios on the outskirts of Chennai), as she became very close to each and every member of the cast and crew of the movie which was shot for almost two years.
“After the last shot was filmed, Aishwarya touched the Superstar’s feet seeking his blessing. Rajini, who didn’t expect this, was shocked initially but soon composed himself and blessed her,” reports said.
Now that the shooting has been completed, Sun Pictures, the producers of this multicrore extravaganza, is getting ready for the release of the film. The initial focus is on the audio launch which is slated to happen at the end of this month in Malaysia.

Anushka- Not associated with Vaanam
When most of the media is abuzz with the launch of 'Vaanam' and the new pair of Silambarasan and Anushka we hear a different story from some sources. According to some news reaching us, Anushka is not the heroine of the film ‘Vaanam’ but she has been signed for an item song number only.
‘Vaanam’ is the remake of the recent sensational Telugu hit directed by Krish with Allu Arjun, Manoj Manchu, Anushka, Manoj Bajpai, Lekha Washington and others playing the lead roles. Tamil 'Vaanam' is being produced by B Ramesh and ‘VTV’ Ganesh and will have music by Yuvan Shankar Raja.
The story now doing rounds is this. Anushka first refused to play the same role in Tamil and then the Tamil producers asked her to do an item number only in the Tamil version. Still not interested Anushka quoted an exorbitant price thinking the producers will then avoid her for the film. However, when our producers agreed to the quoted price Anushka had no choice but to agree.
But the same Anushka has done an item role in Telugu for free. Of course that was for her close friend Bhoomika. Bhoomika is producing a Telugu film 'Thakita Thakita' and Anushka did a guest role with out any remuneration.

Trisha - Lost and Found Again
Trisha, who is enjoying every minute of her shoot for ‘Manmadhan Ambu’, her first film with Kamal Haasan, gave tense moments to her mother Uma Krishnan and crew members of the movie, when she reportedly lost her way on the cruise liner MNS Splendida.
“Since the ship is very huge, everyone was given with a blueprint of the vessel which would help reach a particular place. However, Trisha somehow went missing. Thankfully we found her after some time,” a source was quoted saying.
Meanwhile, the actress, who is an active netizen, has been singing praises about the ‘Ulaga Nayagan’ on a microblogging site. “Working with the legend n my most favourite actor Mr Kamal Haasan is the best part of it all....he will never cease to amaze me,” the actress tweeted.
Happy to be working with Madhavan, her first film (‘Lesa Lesa’) hero, again, she said, “It’s so good to be working with Maddy after seven long years. His pretty wife Saritha and adorable son Vedant are also here.”
The actress didn’t stop at that, but chirped that the entire unit of ‘Manmadhan Ambu’, directed by K S Ravikumar and produced by Udhayanidhi Stalin, felt more like family than colleagues. “Such a fun and affectionate star cast and crew!” she gushed.

Vidya Balan Upset With Priyamani
Sources in Bollywood say that Priyamani’s cousin and actress Vidya Balan feels that Priyamani should’ve opted for a full-fledged role for her Bollywood entry rather than a cameo. The actress was reportedly upset that her cousin chose a role that was not even akin to a second heroine. However, with Priyamani being appreciated by the media for her role in Mani Ratnam’s Raavan, Vidya should be satisfied that her sister made the right decision.
It is worth mentioning here that Vidya had starred in Mani Ratann’s Guru a couple of years ago, the film in which Aishwarya Rai played the female lead.

Padmapriya Following Superstar's way to Himalayas
Perhaps taking a cue from Superstar Rajinikanth, Padmapriya recently spent 11 days on the top of Himalayas with a group of trekkers, mainly comprising IIT students. And she is thrilled about the “scintillating experience”.
“Only after visiting the Himalayas I realised why Rajini sir is so simple and humble. One can know the truth of life if they spend some days in the divine place. It was simple superb and amazing”, says the actress.
Saying she was neither able to have a bath nor brush the teeth for six days, Padmapriya adds: “as the mist and rains were heavy, we just couldn’t move out of the tent in which we were staying. That was a totally different experience.”
On the knowledge she gained after the visit to the Himalayas, she says, “I took a lot of cosmetics and costumes with me while climbing the mountain. When coming down, I realised these things could only give artificial happiness and a single set of dress is enough for a person.”

Neetu Chandra Wants to Fight With Vikram
While Vikram is the one actor with whom Neetu Chandra wants to act in a fight scene, Suriya is her favourite actor as far as Tamil cinema is concerned. The actress has revealed this in a recent interview.
“I know martial arts well and would like to be part of an action film. If I get an opportunity, I would be thrilled to share the screen space with Vikram in a stunt scene, for he performs action sequences with consummate ease,” she said.
Expressing a desire to buy a house in Chennai, Neetu said, “Many ask me whether I belong to Chennai. Also, I like this city and its people very much. So I would like to buy an apartment here as soon as possible.”
On shaking legs with director Ameer for Mysskin’s ‘Yudham Sei’, the actress said, “I have a lot of respect for both the filmmakers for they are known for delivering quality movies. It is a delight to work with both of them in one film.”

Robin Hood Film Review
Right from the posters, this movie creates the doubt in you - the grey backgrounds, the monotone images - though representative of the English countryside, do not inspire the thoughts of Robin Hood, the outlaw who has a band of merry men in the Sherwood forest.
The movie opens with Richard the Lion Heart's 10 year Campaign and you see Robin Hood as Robin Longstride, the archer in the army. The movie then goes on expostulate Longstride's character, loyalty to friends, honesty in the face of adversity etc. By a twist of fate, Longstride ends up posing as Sir Robert Loxley to get back to England. Once there, to honor his word, Longstride goes to the actual Loxley home to deliver a family heirloom. During this journey, he realizes his real background, his past and what his future should be and is a part of an English effort to drive the invading French King.
As already noted, the movie underwhelms you at every turn. Since Hollywood has been enamored with origins and the unexplored dark side of popular movie characters or super heroes, the trend continues with Robin Hood as well. I believe the movie should have promoted more as an Origins than as Robin Hood, which led to mismatched expectations, at least from me.
On the casting side, Russell Crowe gives a different interpretation to the popular character and seems earnest and sincere if not playing to the gallery. Cate Blanchett makes a brilliant Lady Marion (a bright spot in the movie). Oscar Issac who plays King John hams a lot and I think has been included for comic effect. As always with Scott's movies, there has been a detailed level of research and analysis into props and facts and backgrounds.
The movie had me looking at the time a couple of times - an indicator that all was not well with the editor when he was doing his work.
On the whole, this movie is a dampner coming from the Scott - Crowe staables!

Raavan Film Review
What Works
• Santhosh Sivan is at his brilliant best. The movie is so aesthetically shot that every frame looks poetic.
• Ash looks stunning (except for one or two shots where she looks her age)!! She starts of screeching though she gradually does her part well especially in certain frames where she brings in a vulnerability to her character. Special mention for the physical effort put in for the movie.
• Ravi Kishan is a complete blast. He is the only one who looks to be having fun in the entire movie. Even in a song sequence where he comes for a few shots, he comes of completely natural.
• The climax sequence is a very well set action piece.
What doesn’t work
• The characterization and the story is way too simplistic. We get the point that Raavan is the hero here and Ram is the villain but its right on your face. Beera is the hunted but he plays the god is completely humane while Dev the hunter is cunning and murderous. There are no ambiguities, no grey shades black is white and white is black.
• The first half is a huge bore. We have several pointless shots and slow mo montages, which neither seem to end nor does it take the movie forward. Tries too hard to be artistic but never transcends to convey anything significant.
• The movies main crux is the change of heart of Ragini. The way she perceives Beera dramatically changes within few shots where nothing really happens between the two characters other than a couple of rounds of hide and seek. IMO it was ridiculous.
• We do get that its an adaptation. But why to make it so obvious? Govindha jumping across the trees was a joke. Sanjeevani doesn’t the name says it all. Poor old Priyamani gets her nose tweaked just to establish that she is Soorpanagai.Top it all was the polygraph test. Huh !! Wasn’t subtleness Mani’s biggest strength ?
• There is absolutely no chemistry established between any of the three main characters, which makes us completely non-interested in any of the three.
On the fence:
• Abhishek does his part well except for a few flashes of brilliance he comes off as trying too hard.
• It was refreshing to see Govindha in a different role but unfortunately doesn’t get much scope.
• In Vikram’s first Bollywood outing he comes of confident and has a great screen presence but has nothing significant to do on screen.
• Except for ‘Behne De’ and a few BGMs here and there you will never realize it was ARR at the helm.
Verdict:
A huge disappointment. Undoubtedly this one is MainRatnam’s weakest, blandest, simplest movie till date. Give me his unpretentious roller coaster non-brainer of a movie ‘Thiruda Thiruda’ any day over this.

Raavanan Film Review
First things first. 'Raavanan' is not what everyone thought so. It isn't a contemporary adaptation of Ramayana. Instead, it's the Valmiki's epic meeting Shakespeare's Othello. The master filmmaker Mani Ratnam has apparently taken inspiration from these greatest works to narrate a gripping story in his own inimitable style.
'Raavanan', right from the day it went to floors, has been rising a huge hype and hoopla. And expectations soared a never before high before its release. Does the end product lived up to all? To this question, the answer is- With a huge star cast chipping in with their best, mesmerising shots, crisp editing and riveting music, 'Raavanan' ends up satisfying the appetite of the masses.
All credits to Mani for rendering a movie that is engrossing and entertaining from the very word go. With Vikram around, his job seems to have simplified. The duo end up giving sheen and shine to every scene, which unfolds at good pace. With the best of best in the business like A R Rahman (music) and Santosh Sivan (cinematography) joining hands with Mani, the battle seems to have been won even before it began.
If Mani can be considered the captain of the team, it's Vikram who helps make all his dream a reality. As Veera, he comes out with one of his finest performances. He is not just ruthless, but at times emotional, sentimental and humourous. Veera is an epitome of emotions, which Vikram has brought out well.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is not far behind. She catches up with Vikram frame-to-fame. As a bewildered Ragini, who is kidnapped by a mighty man, she brings out the right emotions. Worked hard for her role, running in jungles, sliding from cliff. Prithviraj as Superintendent of Police looks stylish and apt for role.
The storyline is nothing new to Tamil cinema. It is basically a revenge drama. But what is entertaining is the way Mani has made the script and screenplay. Man of many accomplishments, he has ensured that it has class and mass elements in them.
Angered at their act, Ragini pours angry words. When she questions as to why he has kidnapped her and is abusing a cop, an agitated Veera narrates the reason for all his acts. In a flashback, it is revealed that the death of his sister Vennila (Priyamani) had provoked him to do so.
Vennila along with her brothers lead a happy life until her marriage is fixed. On the day of her wedding, Dev and his men enter the wedding hall and attempts to bump off Veera, who along with his brothers flee from the place hoping that Vennila would be protected by her husband. However fearing life, the bridegroom runs away leaving her. Her modesty is outraged and she is forced to end her life. Brothers then vow to avenge Dev.
Now cut to present, Ragini starts to sympathise Veera. The hot chase by cops for Veera continues until Gnanaprakasam prefers to come all alone and broker peace with Veera. In return, Sakkarai goes to meet Dev and agrees to end everything. But he is killed.
Now it is all up to an angered Veera to go hammer and tongs and teach a lesson to cops. At one point of time, Veera allows Ragini to go with her husband. But Dev makes sure Ragini meets Veera once again. What is his motive and what happened to Veera is the climax.
It has been a gripping narration from the very first frame. After 'Sethu' and 'Pithamagan', another side of Vikram's acting credentials is exposed. As Veera, he is at free touching almost every aspect of acting.
Aishwarya is pretty and comes out with her best. Prithviraj and Priyamani have taken the challenge of being part of a Mani Ratnam's film and delivered their best. John Vijay walks away doing a negative role.
Karthik as forest guard fits the role to T. His expression and body language are something interesting. Equally attracting is Prabhu. Munna as Vikram's younger sibling gets a meaty role to play, which he utilises well.
Running for little more than two hours, 'Raavanan' will go down in the history of Tamil cinema as one of the finest and best. Cheers Madras Talkies and Mani Ratnam for rendering a class movie that is racy and entertaining too.
Raavanan - Big, bright & beautiful

Sharukh My All Time Favourite : Priyanka
“Shah Rukh Khan is my idol and has always been. He has been a favourite actor of course, but I really look up to him also as a person . Looking at where he came from and how he became who he is today, I find it extremely fascinating,” Priyanka told IANS in an interview.
“He started with theatre, did plays, got a break in TV — he turned from a regular college kid to a mega superstar... and all that completely on his own with no help from anybody in the film industry. I admire a lot about him and I think it’s just fantastic,” said the actress who has bagged the youth award icon for entertainment.
In the past, Priyanka has teamed up with Shah Rukh for Farhan Akhtar’s “Don” and did a cameo in a song with him in Farah Khan’s “Om Shanti Om” and also in “Billu”.
Priyanka and Hrithik Roshan bagged the youth icon awards in the entertainment field at the inaugural edition of the India Youth Icon Awards at an awards ceremony in Gurgaon Friday.
The actress is currently on cloud nine after getting rave reviews for essaying 12 roles in Ashutosh Gowariker’s “What’s Your Rashee?”, which also stars Hurman Baweja.
“It’s been great feedback so far. People are enjoying the film...I had an author—backed role which included playing 12 different characters — very difficult to do. And it feels fantastic to be encouraged and be told that I pulled it off well,” she said.
The 27-year-old actor said she was extremely nervous before the film’s release on Friday.
“My biggest worry was — ‘Oh God! Will I ever be able to pull this off or not?’ Since most people who get to play multiple roles in a movie get it after a lot of experience, I was nervous. I have spent a short span to do roles as difficult as the one in ‘What’s Your Rashee’, but as an actor all I can say is that I do my work with as much honesty as possible and the rest is destiny,” she said.
If “What’s Your Rashee?” hits the jackpot at the box office, it will be her fourth consecutive hit in a row after “Fashion”, “Dostana” and “Kaminey”.
But she is unmoved. “Hits and flops are a part of the business, isn’t it?” she said.
Asked how she handles success at a young age, the former Miss World said: “I have always been grounded. I have an incredible passion for what I do (acting). I don’t know how to do anything else, I don’t want to do anything else and I love what I do. There’s nothing else that affects me.”
What about growing expectations from audiences and critics?
“It scares me when my films release. I wonder if people will like it or not. That for me is the most important thing. But at the same time I think: what’s the point of living a life without any expectations? You will just stagnate, become complacent — that’s not the kind of person I am. I like striving, I like things that challenge me; I take up difficult films and difficult roles to challenge myself,” Priyanka said.
“I like it when people say things like ‘Fashion’ was a female—centric movie and yet it was successful and that ‘Kaminey’ was an all—boys film, still my part was really appreciated, and ‘Dostana’ was majorly on gay guys, and it ended so well. I enjoy that — I like the fact that I can take up different scripts.
“It’s just that I like to take up challenges,” she added.
Priyanka’s next will see her paired with Uday Chopra in Yash Raj Films’ “Pyaar Impossible”, where she will play the beauty and the latter a geek.

Fans didn't like my role Sameera
Sameera Reddy has made a daring statement! She has reportedly told some press reporters that her fans appreciated her role in the Suriya starrer Vaaranam Aayiram better than Ajith’s Asal. According to the actress, though her role in VA, as Meghna, was very minimal, her fans had liked it and admired it. Sameera adds that she intends to work in projects that offer her such roles rather than go on a signing spree.
The actress is currently working in a Gautham Menon project, which remains to be titled and has a couple of other language films.

Trisha's Khaata Meetha
Trisha’s first movie in Bollywood ‘Khatta Meetha’ (read Sour and Sweet) seems to have shaped up excellently thanks to co-artist Akshay Kumar and director Priyadarshan. The trailer suggests that Trisha seems to be playing a role of a collector.
Clad in saree and with a professional look, Trisha’s expressions and performance seem to be impressive. Besides that, her look in one of the songs that has been added in the teaser shows Trisha in the best of picture. The pretty lass from the south has convincingly moved to Bollywood with a bang. Have a look at the trailer.
Comedy as his forte, ‘Khatta Meetha’ is remake of Priyadarshan’s Malayalam original- ‘Vellanakalude Nadu’ that was made in 1989 and starred Mohanlal, Shobana in the lead. ‘Khatta Meetha’ will hit the screens on July 23rd this year.

Kamal To Be Cautious With Manmadha Ambu Script
Kamal Haasan who is a man of perfection is going little extra than usual with his upcoming film 'Manmadhan Ambu' with K S Ravikumar. Kamal usually finds it easy to work with K S Ravikumar. That’s because K S Ravikumar usually discusses a story of a Kamal film with his assistants for at least a week before getting the final screenplay ready. If the story is by Kamal himself Ravikumar boldly involves Kamal for changes he requires in the script as the director.
But for ‘Manmadhan Ambu’ there are a whole lot of changes being implemented by Kaml and K S Ravikumar. The most important change is maintaining absolute secrecy of the script. According to new plan Kamal invites only three people for the story discussions. They are Director K S Ravikumar, Era. Murugan and Crazy Mohan - Also he has requested the director not to disclose the story development to anybody else including his assistants and associates. The other members of the team will come to know about the story only at the beginning of each schedule.
So why is Kamal so cautious like never before? It is to preempt any vicious attempt by persons claiming the story to be his. All most all of recent Kamal films faced a problem before release by unscrupulous person claiming credit for his stories.

Aishwarya Rai About Raavan Crew
When she started working with Mani Ratnam for ‘Iruvar’, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan used to call the ace director ‘Mani sir’. But now, after doing multiple projects with him, the Miss World turned actress is calling the filmmaker Mani.
In contrast, Aishwarya, who called her ‘Raavanan’ and ‘Raavan’ costar Vikram by his name during the initial days of the shoot, is now calling him ‘Kenny sir’, thanks to her husband Abhishek Bachchan.
“I started calling Mani Ratnam as Mani only after he strictly insisted me to do so, on the sets of ‘Guru’. Coming to Vikram, Abhi has a lot of respect for him and calls him Kenny sir. So I too followed the suit,” she says.
The Bachchan daughter in law adds with a smile: “We also call Vikram by other names too. They are Chiyaan, Aarumugam, Veera and Dev.” While Aarumugam is the name of the character Vikram played in ‘Dhool’, Veera and Dev are his names in ‘Raavanan’ and ‘Raavan’ respectively.

Rama Ravanan - Movie Against Tamil Eelam
Seeman has condemned that Malayalam film Rama Ravanan. The movie’s special screening for media persons took place in Chennai recently. The protest against Rama Ravanan began when it was known that the movie deals with the Tamil-Eelam conflict. Apparently, the film shows Tamilians in poor light while Sri Lankans and Buddhism were praised.
According to a press note from director Seeman, the film is based on improper facts. Seeman had warned that Rama Ravanan should not be screened in Tamil Nadu failing which there would be protests all round the world where it will be screened.

Trisha to play as Jessie In hindi Vtv too
Trisha's graph in Bollywood is on upward swing. The pretty actress will debut in Bollywood with 'Khatta Meetha' opposite Akshay Kumar. She was particular about her debut and did not accept any other film in Hindi until she completes ‘Khatta Meetha’. Now that the film is almost over and Trisha has accepted her next big offer.
We knew Gautham Menon will be directing block buster 'Vinnaithandi Varuvaya' in Hindi and was looking for the right producer. Many top Bollywood producers from Rakesh Roshan, Balaji to Vashu Bhagnani were trying to buy the Hindi remake rights of 'Vinnaithandi Varuvaya'.
But the rights have now gone to the biggest bidder - Ambika Hinduja's Serendipity Films that recently produced ‘Teen Patti' starring Ben Kingsley and Amitabh Bachchan.
The cast has not been decided though Prateik Babbar is being considered to play Silambarasan’s role and Trisha will play ‘Jessie’ in Hindi also.
Gautham wants to use the same tunes of A R Rahman for Hindi as well but the BGM will be reworked again for Hindi as the story is set to happen in Goa instead of Kerala.
Gautham Menon, who had earlier directed the Madhavan-Dia Mirza-Saif starrer, Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein, was going slowly on his Hindi offers. He even refused to direct ‘Kaakha Kaakha’ in Hindi which is now being directed by Nishikant Kamath.

Abhiyum Naanum Alset to move on to Hindi
Prakash Raj’s much acclaimed Tamil film ‘Abhiyum Naanum' inspired by Steve Martin’s ‘Father of the Bride’ is going to be the next hot property in Bollywood from south. Prakash Raj -Trisha starrer ‘Abhiyum Naanum’ celebrates the father-daughter relationship. The 2008 movie directed by Radha Mohan brought critical accolades for both Prakash Raj and Trisha.
Later Prakash Raj himself remade the film in Kannada as ‘Nannu Nanna Kanasu’ which also launched him as a director for the first time. Amoolya and Prakash Raj played the roles Trisha and Prakash respectively.
Now Prakash Raj is taking the film to Bollywood and planning a remake in Hindi. Prakash Raj will only produce and direct the Hindi version and not act in the Hindi version according to his office sources. The cast and crew are still to be decided.

Actress Roja in Kaavalan
Going strong in her second innings is Roja, so to say. The dream girl of 1990s, who made her comeback to acting post marriage, has bagged hefty offers from Tamil and Telugu film industries.
The actress-politician, who did the role of a politico and the mother of a youngster in ‘Sambho Siva Sambho’, the Telugu remake of Tamil blockbuster ‘Naadodigal’, is now playing Asin’s mother in Vijay starrer ‘Kaavalkaran’, directed by Siddique.
Besides, she played a pivotal role in the recent Telugu hit 'Golimar'. Tollywood critics say her power packed performance as Priyamani's mother in the movie has fetched her new fame in the industry.
Says Roja, “I am happy to restart my acting career as I am back to where I belong. I have shed my weight to make it big in the second innings. And I am hopeful that the audience would accept me this time too.”

Asin in Dilemma
Last couple of days has been a testing time for Asin. According to some media reports Asin was dropped from the ‘Kaakha Kaakha’ Hindi remake. Producer of ‘Kaakha Kaakha’ Hindi remake Vipul Shah also is said to have confirmed that Asin is out of his film. Asin’s second Hindi flick ‘London Dreams’ was for Vipul.
There are many reasons floating for Asin’s ouster from the film. One says John Abraham refused to romance Asin feeling she is not sexy enough and he wanted a change. The other one is ‘Kaakha Kaakha’ is also a thrilling, fast-paced action flick with a strong romantic angle like that of ‘Ghajini’. So there may be a comparison if Asin plays the heroine in this too. The third one is she out because she’s busy doing Anees Bazmee’s ‘Ready’ opposite Salman Khan.
But sources close to Asin say a different story. They say Asin wants to regain he foothold in Kollywood and if she does the John Abraham film, her dates will clash with her south Indian projects and so she has decided to opt herself out and give priority to complete her ‘Kaavalkaran’ with Vijay, which is scheduled for a Diwali release.

Genelia stopped from attending the Function??
Genelia D'souza, if sources are to be believed, actually planned to attend the IIFA extravaganza in Sri Lanka thanks to her 'good friend' Ritiesh Deshmukh, unaware of the controversies surrounding in Kollywood.
But a prominent person from Tamil film industry briefed her about the happenings here and stopped her at the eleventh hour from taking a flight to Colombo, sources say.
He is none other than producer 'Aascar' Ravichandran, sources reveal and add: "He was the one who saved Genelia from being issued a red card. Because he has roped in the actress for 'Velayudham', his forthcoming film with Vijay."
"It was only after Ravichandran cautioned Genelia not to attend the IIFA, she decided to stay back. She was quick to realise the gravity of the situation and knew that she might lose out on a big film if she went ahead", sources point out.
Meanwhile, reports have it that the actress was in Chennai on Sunday and completed a photo-shoot with Vijay at Balu Mahendra’s studio.

Singam Film Review
.jpg)
I dont know what makes singam stand apart from Vettaikaran or Sura. Nevertheless, I liked it. The movie could be called as Saamy II for its racy screenplay.
Few things that were monotonous and could be avoided. Intro scene for hero and Villain, The song sequences amidst the racy screenplay, which remind me of As I am suffering from fever I need leave for 2 days & I am going for pondicherry scene from tamil padam, Mokkai jokes of Vivek, Hero blackmailed or tortured by doing some harm to heroine. I am not saying that the other scenes were not monotonous, but atleast they were enjoyable. Punch dialogues would be good even when soft spoken(read not loudly spoken). Music, Sorry, but I will wait for a day for DSP to give songs like that of Arya II in tamil.
Surya perfectly fitted to his role. Anushka is just like any other dumb girl shown in tamil cinema for umpteen number of times. All scenes associated with her was crap. Particularly the scene when she advises surya to continue to be a cop brought me some headache. I liked on scene of her, when she talks to her father abt license though. All veteran actors like Nazar, Radharavi, Vijaykumar, Manorama, Nizhalgal ravi, Bose were wasted. But you can't expect a class performance from them in a movie like singam. Prakashraj was good, but it was irritating when i saw him uttering the dialogue "ethu en kotta da". Atleast rephrase or paraphrase the dialogue so that it doesnt remind u of any previous movies.
Now when I think of something good I can say about the movie, I couldn't think of one. But it was watchable if not adorable movie for movie. It could be the lead performances(No offence meant to Vijay here, he has a better screen presence than Surya) or well made screenplay, that could make a difference between a Singam and Sura/Vettaikaran vagayara's....
I am sure anyone who watch the movie for just entertainment and usually keep their brain away while watching a movie would like this. I LIKED IT.
Verdict: Watchable 2.75/5

Tendulkar asks to Understand their body conditions first
Contradicting MS Dhoni's views, Sachin Tendulkar said IPL parties can not be blamed for India's debacle in the ICC World T20.
India could not reach the semifinals of the Twenty20 World Cup and skipper Dhoni said late night parties and continuous travelling during the Indian Premier League took a toll on the players' body.
Tendulkar, however, begged to differ and said every player should be aware of their responsibilities.
"Parties and performance are two different things that cannot be related and every player should know his responsibility," Tendulkar told reporters after laying foundation stone of an extension of Deenanath Mangeshkar hospital here.
Besides, Tendulkar said parties are not new in cricket.
"Parties used to be held even in the past," he said, laying stress on observing individual's discretion in the matter.
Tendulkar, who led Mumbai Indians to the final of IPL III, said he avoided the parties since he wanted to be fresh for the next day's match.
"I did not go for any of the IPL parties. I always wanted to be ready for the next match," he said.
Tendulkar said every player should know how his body reacts and follow certain things to carry out his duties and responsibilities.
Arguably the greatest batsman ever, Tendulkar said it was important to "understand your body" and strike a balance between play and rest.
Tendulkar also stressed on the importance of physical fitness and mental toughness which helped him to have a prolonged successful career in International cricket.
"Physical fitness helps you in being mentally tough, enhancing you confidence level," the 37-year-old said.
"When pressure builds up in the game I try to focus on the next ball with calmness without thinking of the future course of the match.
"My mood undergoes a change before every match as I start mentally preparing myself for the game," he added.
Asked if he would want his son Arjun to take up the sport, Tendulkar said he would never force him and it would be his own choice.
"It is love and passion for the game that counts. Arjun has a complete freedom to make his choices," Tendulkar said.
Tendulkar has been participating in various charity programmes of late and he said he was doing it for his own satisfaction.
"I have been supporting charities for the last 15 years.
I do it not for publicity but for my own satisfaction," he said.
Earlier, melody queen Lata Mangeshkar who has set up the hospital in the memory of her father, said Sachin deserved not just 'Bharatratna' but 'Vishwaratna' as he was a global icon.
Asked to comment on the remark, Tendulkar simply said, "Her blessings mean a lot for me".

Germany Vs Bosnia Preview
Joachim Low's Germany side will take on Bosnia on Thursday as their final preparation for their opening game against Australia.
The match in Frankfurt's Waldstadion, just a stone's throw from the German Football Association's headquarters, is Germany's last before they fly out to South Africa on Sunday and Low is using it as a dress rehearsal for the clash with the Socceroos on June 13.
"We want to get ourselves into shape for the first group game against Australia," said Low.
"We also want to leave our fans with a football festival and get them onto our side, and we would also like to end our World Cup preparations with a success if possible."
Low may be prevented from picking his first choice XI due to a stomach bug which kept goalkeeper Manuel Neuer out of training yesterday.
Should the Schalke custodian miss out, then Tim Wiese of Werder Bremen will step in, according to the hierarchy unveiled by the goalkeeping coach Andreas Kopke.
Elsewhere in the team, Low will try out his new central midfield pair of Sami Khedira and Bastian Schweinsteiger, although they have never played together from the start before and the pair have been getting to know each other in training this week.
"It is a shame that we did not have more time to get used to playing together, but I cannot see any fundamental problems," said Schweinsteiger.
"I have faith in Sami's ability and good players always get on well together on the field."
Philipp Lahm will lead the team out for the first time as the new Germany captain and he is eager to show the world what the Euro 2008 runners-up are capable of.
"Despite all of the players who have dropped out injured, we still have a team who can achieve a lot at the World Cup," he said. "We want to show that in this warm-up match."
Low's only real headache is in attack, where Miroslav Klose looked far from his best form in a 3-0 win over Hungary at the weekend.
His place is therefore under threat from Cacau, the man who replaced him and scored in Budapest, and Stefan Kiessling, the highest-scoring German player in the Bundesliga last season.
After tomorrow's match, the Germany players will be given two days off to spend with their families before returning to Frankfurt on Sunday for their flight out to South Africa, arriving less than seven days before their campaign begins in Durban.
