Vijay thanks fans, in style

Whatever Ilaya Thalapathi Vijay does, creates a buzz among film buffs. The star’s works were earlier much-talked about in the state for his open and continuous support towards the AIADMK political party during the Tamil Nadu state elections.

Anjali’s next is ‘Karungali’

She smiled her way into our hearts with her performance in ‘Angadi Theru.’ She proved she can pull up humour successfully with ‘Thoonga Nagaram.’ Now the young actress, Anjali, is getting ready for the release of her next film ‘Karungali.’

Sources close to the actress have revealed that she has added on a few kilos to suit the role of a married woman for this film.

We do not know if it is by luck or by choice that Anjali lands roles to perform in all her films. ‘Karungali’ is a film with grey shades and has ample scope for the actress to perform.

The storyline of ‘Karungali’ deals with how net savvy present day couples are and how destructive it can become if not used wisely. The film is also believed to showcase how relationships can be misused and how people misuse their relationship to threaten and blackmail the family.

Anjali is believed to have revealed that she has done her bit of homework in researching about certain aspects based on this theme which have proved very useful for her in playing her character in the film successfully.

We will get back on the music release date and on when the film will release in the coming days…

Femme fatale – Tapsee

None would imagine Tapsee in the role of a femme fatale, but that is exactly what she is!

The timid and mellow girl who appeared as Dhanush’s love interest in National Award winning ‘Aadukalam’ seems to have undergone a metamorphosis, at least in terms of her characterization. She is all geared up to play a gun-wielding goddess in her next flick ‘Vanthaan Ventraan.’

The actress is believed to have undergone a training session under a professional shooter on how to hold the gun and take aim. And mind you the gun that Tapsee trained with was not a toy but for real and fully loaded.

Since the director wanted his lead lady to play the part with finesse he wanted her to take tips from a professional, say sources close to the filming unit.

There are also reports that Tapsee’s character who is buoyant as the film opens changes dramatically towards the end with her hunting down her attacker in the crowded streets of Mumbai. Tapsee will play Jeeva’s heroine in ‘Vanthaan Ventraan’ and the film has been directed by Kannan.

The music for the film might soon hit the stands. The date and other interesting details which we will let you know soon…

A R Rahman Shocked With Oscar Awards

Ismail Darbar who is a Bollywood music composer made many allegations against A R Rahman while speaking to the media in Nagpur. He said, “ I have a feeling that A R Rahman has paid money to get the Oscar Awards for the film Slumdog Millionaire. If A R Rahman has real talent, he should have got the Oscar Awards for the film Roja or Bombay. I know that he has purchased these awards.”

When asked Ismail Darbar if he has got any proof for his statement, he was not able to give a fitting reply. Bollywood people condemned and lambasted Ismail for his irresponsible fabricated statement.

Bollywood music composer Lalith Pandit while commenting about this said, “ A R Rahman is a person who brought name and fame to India by winning the Oscar Awards. It is not right to speak bad about him.”

When asked A R Rahman about this allegation, he said, “ Nobody can purchase Oscar Awards. Three thousand people vote for this award. How is it possible to buy this award.”

Sanjay Dutt faces non-bailable warrant against him

Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt again finds himself in the arms of law. The reason this time is the non-bailable warrant issued in his name. The warrant has been issued by the Judicial Magistrate Krishna Kumar from a local court in Uttar Pradesh. The reason for the warrant is the ‘provocative utterances’ made during the general elections in India in 2009.

The Judicial Magistrate has ordered to present the actor in the court on July 8 this year. It is but obvious that Sanjay Dutt faces an imminent arrest in the near future. The orders from the Magistrate came after one Vijay Shankar Yadav, made charges against Sanjay Dutt for not acting in accordance with the code of conduct during the election period.

The FIR mentioned that the speeches were made to gain the popularity of the Muslim voters in Mau, in Uttar Pradesh.

Sanjay Dutt had been charged on various occasions in the past. The first of the incidents dates back to the 1993 Mumbai blasts.

No cell phones on sets of Dirty Pictures: Ekta Kapoor

Directors and producers are now-a-days careful of not revealing the new looks of their protagonist. Ekta Kapoor is taking care of her forthcoming film Dirty Pictures in the same way. She has totally banned the presence of cell phones on the sets of the film. She wants to keep it a secret and the curiosity of the fans alive by not disclosing the looks of Vidya Balan.

Vidya Balan is playing the role of the sex bomb Silk Smitha. Ekta wants Vidya’s looks to be a mystery till the very end. She does not want to become a Karan Johar. Karan Johar had tried to keep the character of Hrithik Roshan under the wraps. However, the looks finally got leaked.

Keeping this example before her, Ekta is all but strict about Vidya Balan’s character of Silk Smitha being a mystery until the very end. She is so particular about it that, even the visitors are asked to leave their cell phones behind and only then enter.

It would be surprising to know that even the actors and the crew and the staff members have also been ‘warned’ to do away with their cell phones before coming on the sets.

Hackers eye X Factor judge Sonu Nigam’s email

Hacking is not new for anyone now. The X Factor judge Sonu Nigam is the latest celebrity victim whose email account had got hacked. It is not only the account that was hacked (only for fun?). What is the use of hacking such a celebrity’s account if no mails are sent?

It exactly happened in the same way. Whoever was on the singer’s list all got an e-mail. Well, they were not just mails, but are known to be filled with some sort of abuse in it. Now, what exactly were the abusive contents, has not been made public by Sonu yet.

It is understood that even those people were sent the mails with whom Sonu Nigam had not contacted for a period of about six to eight years. When Sonu came to know this, he was obviously shocked.

What is more shocking is that the mails were circulated when Sonu was busy shooting for the show. It is but natural that it was not he who was sending the mails. No wonder, Sonu apologized to all who had got the mails (supposedly by him); though it was clear it was not he who sent them.

Fortunately enough, Sonu has got by the control over his account. He has made the necessary changes in the password and the security information. To be on the safer side, he is pondering over officially informing the cyber cell of the Mumbai police.

Actress Nagma denies the Bigg Boss 5 offer

Bollywood actress Nagma has refused being part of the reality show Bigg Boss. This is the fifth time that the actress has been offered to be a participant on the show. And interestingly, she has refused the offer every time. it is not very clear as to why Nagma is always saying no to the offer.

The very old, boring and tiring reason that has come from Nagma is that she does not want to get involved in any controversies. That is why she is not ready to enter the Bigg Boss house as a participant. But who said that the house of Bigg Boss has been an epicenter of controversies. But yes, let us agree, it is hard to live without one.

But what does Nagma exactly fear? Is she bearing the fact that there might be other participants with whom she can get into arguments and then into controversites? Or does she fear that her past might come to haunt her?

She had already been in the controversies twice in the past – once for her alleged link up with Ravi Kishan – her Bhojpuri co-star. The second time was when she had done a pooja with former India cricket captain Saurav Ganguly.

Kajal as Goan girl in 'Singam'

Kajal Agarwal who is making her debut in Hindi version of 'Singam' with Ajay Devgn is playing the role of a Goan girl. She herself revealed this to the media recently.

Though Anushka Shetty played the role in Tamil and Telugu versions of this film, Kajal bagged it in Hindi. When asked if she would imitate Anushka in Hindi version, she said,

"Absolutely not. I am playing the role of a Goan girl in this movie. It is made according to the sensibilities of Hindi audience. I have started shooting for this film. Infact my role has been re-written completely for this film. Anushka did a great job in 'Singam' that released as 'Yamudu' in Telugu. If I have any doubts on the role, I will certainly contact her" Kajal said.

Salman Khan praises DSP

South India's popular music composer Devi Sri Prasad won a new fan-Salman Khan. Apparently Bollywood superstar is very happy with Dhinka Chika song composed by Devi. This is the same tune as that of Ringa Ringa.... composed by Devi for Telugu film 'Arya 2'.

Dhika Chika has sort of become second national anthem and biggest USP of Salman Khan's 'Ready'. TV channels have been telecasting the making of this song. Salman is apparently very happy with the response this song has evoked. Devi Sri says he is glad Salman liked the song.

"I went to Mumbai to perform at the audio launch of Ringa Ringa. Salman came backstage and hugged me. He was happy with the composition. He told me that he heard Ringa Ringa in Mauritus and liked it so much that he repeatedly heard the song. He told me that he heard about me and my onstage performances. I am happy that Salman liked it. Preetham too met me in Mumbai and told me that I created a monster with this song." Devi said.

Devi Sri Prasad's 'Mr Perfect' and '100% Love' too are superhits in Telugu film industry. His Tamil movie with Dhanush as hero is all set to release soon. If that is also a hit, DSP will have the rare distinction of composing chartbusters in all the three languages - Hindi, Telugu and Tamil.

Anjali's 7 Kilo Risk

Director Mu Kalangiam while speaking to the media said, “Usually heroes like Surya and Vikram will reduce their weight or have six packs for their roles. But our heroine Anjali has done this. She will be very slim when she is a new bride and then after her marriage, she will look fluffy. She has increased her weight by 7 kilograms. A heroine who is in the top will never take the risk of reducing or gaining weight. The confidence that Anjali had on Karungaali made her do this. Many are asking me that where I have been so long. I wish to reply this through the film Karungaali. This gap allowed me to study the problems of the educated youth."

Kalangiam also said, "The crux of the story is that how the relationship between the husband and wife is affected because of internet and cell phones. I am also donning a dreaded role in this film. Someone asked me that whether that acting is so easy. This film will suit me. That is why I have donned the role. Except me, everybody has acted well. I could not gauge my acting. Only the audience should rate my acting.”

Mallika Sherawat shows attitude while shooting for Bin Bulaye Baraati

The nakhare and the zatake of famous and popular film personalities are not new to Bollywood. One of the latest film personalities to show such attitude was Mallika Sherawat. She was shooting for the item song Shalu for the film Bin Bulaye Baraati. She was clearly throwing tantrums.

There were actors like Om Puri, Gulshan Grover, Mukesh Tiwari, Rajpal Yadav, and Johnny Lever who were also a part of the song. According to the first hand direction, they were supposed to just be present on the sets (and not be the actual participants of the song).

According to one of the sources, the part of Mallika was shot on a different day and the other actors’ shoot took place on yet another day. Both these shootings were then merged together.

However, there was a different version from the choreographer Ganesh Acharya. He said that there was no such special demand from Mallika about shooting separately. The other actors were supposed to join Mallika at the end of the song, Acharya said.
