Kollywood Hotshots

UDS located at the famed beaches of Kovalam, just 15 meters from the sea, is an exclusive 4 Star leisure beach hotel - a destination by itself. The setting, facilities, people, spa, cuisine and its whole philosophy is dedicated to visitor's personal wellness in a luxurious environment. Radha's daughter Karthika Nair who has acted in a film each in Telugu and Malayalam is all set to debut in Tamil with KV Anand's Ko opposite to Jiiva. Here is wishing Radha all the best on her new venture.

For the uninitiated, Kajal is a popular actress down South with a repertoire of numerous successful films in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada. She rose to prominence after her performance as 'Yuvarani Mitravinda Devi' and 'Indira (Indu)' in the 2009 Telugu super-hit Magadheera which also won her a Filmfare nomination for Best Actress (Telugu).

Talking about casting Kajal in his film, director Rohit Shetty says, "Kajal is very popular down South. She has done Magadheera, one of the biggest Telugu hits of all time. We are confident about her pulling off the role successfully."

Talking about similarities between the original and Rohit's remake, Rohit adds, "75% of the film will be different, while the original basic premise will stay the same. We have to make the film accessible to every market in the country. So the story will differ from the original. I have introduced new characters and subplots to cater to the general audience."

Singam produced by Reliance Pictures is all set to hit theatres this July.

This will be his first ever public meeting after his political inclinations were made public. The whole event is expected to have large political tones as Vijay’s father SA Chandrasekaran had met AIADMK supremo J.Jayalaithaa for the second time a few days ago.

In a statement released today, Vijay had called upon his fans and all general public to join him in the protest meeting. He has said that the eight crores Tamils living in this world will rise up together to support if anything happens to even one Tamil anywhere in the world.

Vijay will address the protest meeting from the VTP College Grounds in Kadanpady Road, Nagapattinam at 4pm.

From the day Vaanam’s audio launch date, which is to be held on March 6th, 2011, was announced Silambarasan’s fans are eager to know about the film’s release date. Enquiries in Kollywood have revealed that the film may hit the silver screens on April 9th. The filmmakers intend to release Vaanam as soon as the Cricket World Cup is wrapped up and hence have decided on the said date, we are told.

Vaanam, which is the remake of the Telugu flick Vedam, is directed by Krish and stars Anushka, Bharath and Prakash Raj. Music has been scored by Yuvan Shankar Raja.               

It is obvious that he is trying to be one up on Shankar's  Nanban, the original remake of 3 Idiots!

Adhiyaman's Nanban is being made as a quickie about two college students who are academically poor and it is about their antics.

Nakul and Shanthanu will play the two idiots and has Nikisha Patel , Pawan Kalyan's Puli girl as the heroine.

In short Nanba is going to create confusion  among the audiences with Nanban, as Adhiyaman says he has already registered the title much earlier!

A leading newspaper has reported that "Sonakshi Sinha, a year younger than Shruti Haasan is likely to be Kamal Haasan's heroine in his next film directed by Selvaraghavan".

The report says the film is inspired by Ridley Scott's Hannibal, a sequel to the classic The Silence of the Lambs with Kamal Haasan playing the role of a psychopathic killer made memorable by Anthony Hopkins.  Sonakshi will do Julianne Moore's role in the film.

The newspaper report further states that Sonakshi will hear  director Selvaraghavan's narration once she completes Joker shoot with Akshay Kumar  in Chandigarh.

The film will be made in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi.

However, when contacted Selvarghavan told: "As of now, nothing has been confirmed. Will break the news by next week".

Rana will be produced by Soundarya Rajinikanth and Rajini’s favorite director KS Ravi Kumar is to direct the film. The movie is said to be set partly in the historical era and this has increased the interest of the movie buffs.
