Prabhudeva love dialogue

prabhu nayan

It wasn’t just this dialogue that took people by surprise. Prabhudeva, in fact, went on for more than half an hour about love and kissing. “It is only now that love has become an objectionable feeling. Even in Sangam literature, there are accounts of pure love. Everybody should fall in love atleast once.”

In fact, the actor then went on, to a group of enthusiastic students, saying there was no proper place for lovers in the city. “Love is all about exchanging emotions. There is no good place for lovers to exchange emotions too,” said the actor-cinematographer, who is in a relationship with Nayantara.

He then stressed on the importance of kissing between lovers. “It is an important way to express your love and now, we censor it in films. If given a chance, I will kiss my girl friend for even half an hour,” he said.

And just as you think the reticent actor has finally gone open with his suspected relationship with Nayantara, you may want to be told that all these were dialogues that Prabhudeva delivered as part of his film, ‘Kalavadiya Poazhudhugal’, directed by Thangar Bachan.

Unable to bear the rumors floated about her, Trisha is said to be discussing with her lawyer on the course of action to thwart the efforts of the rumormongers around her. The latest rumor is that the actress and a cricketer were seen exchanging blows on each other in a posh hotel. Angry over such baseless rumors, the actress said that she has never ever met the cricketer but was simply having a peaceful meal with her friends.

Trisha says that she will track down the gossipers soon and also threatened legal action against them.

Suriya’s Ayan in Hindi?

Latest Pics and Stills from Veedokkade3

Suriya is gearing up for his next projects and continues to make headlines with Ayan! Many southern films are being remade in Bollywood.

Recently, Vellithirai was released as Short Kut – The Con is On and several more are already in progress. It is heard that Ayan (Veedeokkade in Telugu) is also to be remade in Hindi. A famous producer has approached the makers of Ayan to remake it in Hindi with Salman Khan in the lead. This sure is good news again for all Suriya fans, as Ghajini remade in Hindi with Aamir Khan was a super-success.

There sure appears to be good demand for remakes of Suriya movies!

Kavya's marriage - what went wrong?

826874_f496

The entire South film industry has been shocked by reports of trouble in Kavya Madhavan’s marriage. It was only in February this year that she wed Nischal Chandra and the duo left for a honeymoon to Egypt. They looked like a perfect match. So what could have soured their happy marriage in just the course of a few months.

Much has been speculated about the causes of rift. One theory says Nischal and his authoritative mom gave little freedom to Kavya and pestered her to join the films again because of financial troubles in their house. Another theory says Nischal’s suspicious nature was the cause of friction between the couple. It is believed that Nischal’s lack of will to create a career for himself also didn’t go down well with Kavya.

Meanwhile, Kavya and Nischal are refraining from talking to the media. Clearly, the couple is not in the mood to wash the dirty linen publicly.

Kavya had come to Kerala early July for the finishing touches of Malayalam movie ‘Ee Pattanathil Bhootham’ and has not returned to her husband’s house in Kuwait. There were also reports that she has attempted a suicide, but that has been strongly denied by her parents.

Let’s see what course Kavya’s troubled marriage takes. Divorce or reunion.

Trisha with her friends[unseen photos]

It was Asin who made a rolling start of her career in Bollywood with Aamir Khan starrer- Ghajini, the Hindi remake of Tamil flick which starred Surya in it. Meanwhile, Asin was shining bright in Bollywood; Trishna was waiting for the right project to come her way so that she can jump into the competition with her southern counterpart in the world of Bollywood.

But now the wait is over for Trishna as she has been signed by non-other-than director Priyadarshan for his upcoming flick Katta Meeta, wherein superstar Akshay Kumar will be paired with the gorgeous lady. Not only this, Trishna has also signed three other big budgeted Bollywood flicks.

It seems the cold war between the two southern beauties is about to start in the glam-world of Bollywood. We would have to wait and see, who wins the final battle and has a prolonged career in Hindi film industry.

The film industry is rife with rumours that Prabhudeva, who has directed the Hindi remake of ‘Pokkiri’, ‘Wanted’, is all set with the story for his second directorial venture. And the heroine for this will be no other than his sweetheart Nayantara herself!

Following the lines of Trisha, Asin and Genelia, it is said that Nayantara had been secretively eyeing a career in Bollywood, though she never openly disclosed it. And now, with her boy friend Prabhudeva making waves there, she is said to be a Bollywood heroine soon.

The actress, remarkably, has signed no Tamil film now, apart from ‘Aadhavan’ with Suriya, which is already underway. She is doing a couple of Telugu and Malayalam projects, but it is said that she hasn’t taken up more offers to keep herself available for a Bollywood project, which may be confirmed anytime soon.

With 25 days of shooting remaining unfinished for the Karthi-Tamannaah starrer Paiya, expectations for the movie are on the rise with each passing day. Tamannaah, who’s riding success in the South, is excited about the movie, more so because a certain scene was revamped by her!

“We were shooting for Paiyya and there was a scene in which I had to go and start the car, and he forgot to give me the key. I repeatedly asked him for it though it wasn’t in the dialogue sheet given to me. It became a joke of sorts on screen—the way I had demanded the key from him—and it was decided to retain it in the film,” she laughs.

nayanthara-latest-stills-13

After the poor performances of four back-to-back releases: Kuselan (Kathanayakudu in Telugu), Satyam (Salute in Telugu), Villu and Aegan, reigning actress Nayantara is likely to bag a female-oriented film in Telugu, to be directed by renowned Kodi Ramakrishna of recent Tollywood blockbuster Arundhathi fame.

According to sources, this film is said to be a socio-fantasy-cum-graphical extravaganza like Arundhathi and will be produced by M.S. Raju of Sumanth Art Productions, who had earlier teamed up with Kodi Ramakrishna for Satruvu, Devi and Devi Putrudu.

It is heard that producer M.S. Raju is planning to introduce his son Sumanth Ashwin as hero in this untitled film, which will start rolling in August. More details are awaited.

Meanwhile, Nayantara is currently busy with four films: Dileep starrer Bodyguard (Malayalam), Jr. NTR starrer Adurs, Ravi Teja starrer Anjaneyulu (Telugu) and Suriya starrer Aadhavan (Tamil).

Shruthi Haasan nose didn't look great

WWW.MOVIENAGAR.COM

Forthright and no fuss is Shruthi Haasan. The actress, who is awaiting the release of her debut flick as heroine, Luck, coolly confirms that she indeed did get a nose job done. "Ya, it happened, so what's the big deal in it?" asks the actress. "But I will clarify that I didn't do it because I thought my nose didn't look great. I did it for health purposes, to correct a deviated septum because of which I earlier suffered respiratory problems," says the actress.

The star, however, doesn't seem to trust Indian doctors enough to get it done here. "I went to the US to get this surgery done. I agreed to do it only after I was convinced this wouldn't affect my voice in any way," says the actress who has also turned music composer with dad Kamal Haasan's ‘Unnaipol Oruvan’.

Nmaitha fav Hero is Rajinikanth

namitha sexy kollywood actress pictures 160709

There’s no escaping the Rajini mania if you enter Tamil Nadu, and it doesn’t matter if you aren’t a Tamilian, fed on Tamil movies. Young actress Namitha, who has acted with most of our top heroes, calls herself one of Rajini’s biggest fans, with the dream of acting with him one day.

Namitha, who is best known as the sex siren of the industry, says acting with Rajini is a big bonus for any actress. Gautami, who was launched in his film ‘Guru Sishyan’, or Nayantara, who struck gold in her second film as his heroine, have reached dizzying heights largely due to their popularity as Rajini’s heroine.

And Namitha does not want to be let out in the race. “He is a phenomenal actor and it is nothing short of a blessing to work with him. If I act with him, I know I have achieved the pinnacle in my career,” she explains.

Is Rajini’s next director listening?

Kamal chooses Anuja Iyer

anuja iyer 01 The latest addition to Kamal Haasan’s Unnai Pol Oruvan is Anuja Iyer. The actress played the lead roles in M3V and Sivi.

Will Ileana do a Tamil film?

ileana-02

Why is Ileana, the hot and happening Goan girl rocking Tollywood refusing to sign up with any Tamil superstar? Does she have an aversion to Tamil cinema after doing KD with Ravi Krishna, a few years back?

She had a string of hits in Telugu at regular intervals, ever since Mahesh Babu’s Pokkiri sky rocketed her to superstardom. Now when M.Raja approached her for the remake of her own Telugu film Kick to Tamil with Jayam Ravi, she flatly refused.

Remember that she had refused to be Ilayathalapathy, Vijay’s heroine in the Pokkiri remake and recently Vettaikaran. Director Saran who tried to rope her for Asal with Ajith, had to replace her with Sameera Reddy at the last moment.

Her most talked about ‘NO’ to Tamil cinema was when she refused to lend her face to the animated Sultan-The Warrior with none other than superstar Rajinikanth!

However a little bird has informed us that last week she patiently heard the script of director Vikram Kumar’s (Yaavarum Nalam fame) new film with Tamil superstar Vikram as the hero.

If all goes well, it would be a casting coup of sorts for Vikram if he manages to convince Ileana to be his heroine in his new film in a role “with a dash of glamour, innocence and vulnerability.”

Meanwhile Simbu too is planning to meet her in Hyderabad later this month, as he is on the look out for a big heroine for his Valiban!

Let us hope Ileana breaks her taboo on Tamil films and does a movie in Kollywood in the near future, as there is an acute shortage of saleable heroines in Chennai.

Dhanush misses Yatra’s first day at school!

What is Dhanush doing these days? He is shooting in the dust and heat of Madurai for Vetrimaran’s Aadukalam. When asked about the recent controversy about Trisha being replaced in the film, the actor refused to comment . Dhanush, the doting father that he is, was very upset that he couldn’t be with his dear son Yatra on his first day at school. Remember that the Ash-Dhanush couple always avoids media glare and photographers, when it comes to their son. Says Dhanush: “I can’t believe that my son has started going to school. I always wonder why kids are send to school from such a young age. It was not too long ago that I remember my first day at school. However now my son has started enjoying the experience and has made a few friends in his kindergarten school”. The buzz from the unit says that Dhanush was tense as he was seen giving instructions over the phone, remote controlling everything from Madurai, on Yatra’s first day at school. Adds Dhanush: “I really missed being with him on that day. These are the small but very precious moments that one misses being an actor”.

Conceptualised by GiveIndia, this unique and ambitious initiative aims to get people from all walks of life to engage in acts of giving - money, time, skills or simple acts of kindness.

Gautham eases pace: bearded Silambarasan uneasy

vinnai-thaandi-varuvaaya-stills

Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya, which started with a bang and was reportedly going on at a great pace, has seen a sudden slackening in proceedings. The reason reportedly is that director Gautham Menon doesn’t seem too keen on getting on with it at the same pace as the initial stages.

Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya is not being made in Tamil alone, it is also being reportedly planned in Telugu with Mahesh Babu in the lead. However, Mahesh Babu’s dates are not available for at least a couple of months and there is no way that the Telugu version can begin until his dates are confirmed.

With the same story, Gautham wants the two films to be completed and released simultaneously. He seems to think that any one of them releasing earlier would affect the chances of the latter, especially if the box office results were not favorable. Added to this is the fact that he also plans to use Rahman’s tunes for the Telugu version too. With the kind of reach that Rahman’s music has, any one album releasing ahead of the other will rob all the novelty off the one following it. So, weighing his options, Gautham seems to have decided that Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya need not sprint to completion as earlier planned.

This seems fine with everyone except Silambarasan. He has acted in two get ups in VTV, one of which has a full grown beard. With film’s shooting not moving as expected, he has been left with his beard in place, unable to take part in any other shooting.
