Aadhavan and Vettaikaran: clash of the titans
The release of Aadhavan and Vettaikaran seems to have created a ‘clash of the titans’ scenario in Tamil Nadu. Aadhavan is produced by Udhayanidhi Stalin for his Red Giant movies, the distribution rights of which are with Kalaignar TV. Rightly so, Kalaignar TV is leaving no stones unturned in publicizing the movie and the promos have already gone on air.
On the other hand, Vettaikaran, produced by AVM is sold to SUN TV. Given the aggressive marketing strategies adopted by the SUN network in recent times to promote their movies, it’s easy to say that Vettaikaran will enjoy the same privilege. However, SUN hasn’t started airing the promos as yet on air but it won’t be too long until the promos are on.
Speaking of this, more than the performance of the movies at the box office, it would be interesting to watch the belligerent strategies adopted by two major television networks to promote their movies.

Divya’s rude behavior
Divya Spandana’s rude behavior during the shooting of the Kannada film Just Maath Maathalli seems to have irked the dancers. This is not the first time that the actress is making it to the headlines for her rude behavior. A few days ago, she got into an argument with the media persons during a press meet resulting in the press boycotting the meeting.
Sources from the film unit say that Divya’s behavior while filming a song was so rude that the dancers and the choreographer were shocked. The actress also threatened to walk out of the shoot if the song was not re-shot.
The Karnataka Choreographers and Dancers’ Association complained about this to the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce and she was finally made to apologize to the association.

Nayanthara decided not doing glamorous role in future
Nayanthara is well known in the south Indian film circuit for her astounding glamour quotient. The lady’s bikini–clad scenes in Billa were much talked about and her career soared to newer heights.
However, the actress is now refusing to wear glamorous clothes much to the chagrin of her directors and producers. Nayan is currently starring in the Telugu film Athoorpu directed by VV Vinayak. Incidentally, Vinayak introduced Nayan in Tollywood and when the director mentioned about the necessity to wear skimpy clothes for a scene, the actress refused to do so, stating that she has decided against going glamorous in future.
This decision has raised expectations that the actress is keen on ending her acting career and is moving closer to marital bliss.

Nayantara's reply to Ralmath's allegations
"Ralmath has no business to abuse or criticise me," said Nayantara, reacting to the charge of Prabhu Deva's wife to a leading morning vernacular.
A report in an evening paper carries Nayantara's reply. It says:
"It is easier for Ralmath to check the facts with Prabhu Deva instead of taking this circuitous route. I have apprised the media about this issue many times. My biggest strength is the support of my family. I am not bothered of the opinion of others on my personal matters. As of now, I am focused on my career with a lot of pending projects to be completed.”
Nayantara is in now Kerala taking a break from her shooting schedules.

Wedding bells for Meghna Naidu
Bollywood actress Meghna Naidu, who made her debut in Colors with Akshay Kumar, is to wed actor Kushal Punjabi in Mumbai next February.
Vijayawada-based Meghna, who shot to fame with the video album Kaliyon Ka Chaman, had a brief stint in Kollywood, paired with Simbu in Saravana and with Sarathkumar in Vaitheswaran.
Known for her dancing skills, Meghna has been part of various star shows all over the globe.
Save her husband from Nayantara
The media continues to harp upon the Nayanthara-Prabhu Deva romantic link-up. Reportedly, Nayantara came to Mumbai just to watch the premiere of Wanted (Hindi) with Prabhu Deva. "No comments" was the only comment from the duo when the media converged on them.
Prabhu Deva's wife Ramlath has opened her heart to a leading vernacular daily with a tearful message that she is already distressed by the death of her 12-year-old son Vishal due to cancer six months ago.
In her hard-hitting message, Ramalath said she would never allow her husband to marry another girl. “A husband is punished for a second marriage when his first wife is alive. I feel the second wife should be arrested when she tries to snatch a man who is already married.”
Admitting that she did pick a fight with Nayantara once over phone, Ramlath said she will give Nayantara a sound thrashing if they meet.
Expressing her anger at a leading actor who, in the garb of playing a mediator's role, is only helping the love to blossom, Ramlath said that the said actor should put his house in order first – clearly referring to his divorce case, now in the High Court.
“If Nayantara could throw Simbu out after being on the verge of marrying him, what is the guarantee that the same fate would not befall my simpleton husband,” says this mother of three.
In a pleading note, Ramlath has requested elders to intervene to solve this unsavoury episode which has rocked Kollywood.

Nayanthara watches Wanted with Prabhu Deva!
A little birdie tells us that last Friday (Sep 18), Nayanthara was in Mumbai, to give moral support to Prabhu Deva on the opening day of Wanted, his debut film as director in Bollywood.
The producer of the film Boney Kapoor was very particular not to hold any previews or a premiere of the film.
Prabhu Deva could have easily arranged a special screening for her in one of the preview theatres. But Nayan was very particular to see the film at a theatre and gauge the audience’s reaction.
Prabhu arranged tickets at the Cinemax multiplex in Bandra, for the first day first show. As Wanted, a remake of Vijay-Asin Pokkiri unfolded the audiences including Nayan got hooked to the film which is pure mass masala entertainer.
Nayan enjoyed every moment of the film as Salman Khan is her favourite

Bollywood actor. The film as noted Bollywood critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh wrote- “Wanted rides on Salman Khan's star power. He may not be the best actor in town, but in a film like this, in a role that seems like an extension of his personality, you can't think of anyone else enacting this role with flourish”.
The film has taken an earth shattering opening in its first two days and with Eid (Ramzan) falling on Monday, Wanted is sure all set to be another Ghajini in Bollywood.

Rajinikanth’s last film would be Endhiran?
The whole of South India is abuzz over the rumour that director S. Shankar's forthcoming Tamil science fiction fiilm Endhiran would be super star Rajinikanth’s last film. But why? Because the actor has reportedly finally decided to enter politics!
This speculations began after Rajinikanth did not show any interest in a sequel to the blockbuster Chandiramukhi when he was approached by director P. Vasu. Rajinikanth reportedly replied: "We’ll look into it after the release of Endhiran," sources said. Moreover, the superstar’s elder brother Sathya Narayana Rao has openly stated that the actor would probably make his entry into politics after Endhiran.
For the last few weeks, Shankar has been busy shooting the climax scenes of Endhiran, starring Aishwarya Rai as heroine. Some parts of the climax were shot at the SIPCOT industrial estate in Sirucheri.
The makers will soon move to Prasad Studio, where a huge set has been put up to shoot a fight scene which will be picturised as the whole set will go up in flames.
