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

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".
