Kollywood Hotshots

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.

Later the unit will move to London, where a major chunk of the film will be shot.

The film directed by Saran has Sameera Reddy and Bhavana as heroines. Two songs tuned by Bhardwaj are going to be canned in this schedule. One of the songs will be picturised against the moonlit Eiffel Tower in Paris.

After the Paris and London shoot nearly 80 percent of the film will be over. Asal is likely to be a Pongal 2010 release.

It is common belief that Baba has lived for more than 2,500 years and that the caves exude a lot of positive energy and one can feel that enigmatic aura. Recently, the crew of an investigative show on a television channel visited the Himalayas to throw more light on the mystical caves. A close friend of Rajinikanth also joined the team and took them to the path that leads to the Baba caves, narrating many interesting anecdotes en route. The channel is airing the visit as a four-part series this week, and promises a mystic journey to the Himalayas. Hop on!

The popular International Harpers and Queen magazine had listed 100 beautiful women and among them was our Aishwarya Rai Bachchan! Not only that! She has taken the ninth rank in the list, reports say.

Meanwhile, Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie is said to be topping the list, followed by Supermodel Christy Turlington. Among other beauties, Queen Rania of Jordan has also found her place in the chart.

Asal, directed by Charan, features Ajith in a style of quirky-side-burns-connected-to-the-thick-moustache and has already raised a few eyebrows. Sameera Reddy and Bhavana play his female leads. Asal is produced by Sivaji Productions.
