Kamal plays terrorist in Vishwaroopam?


Kamal Haasan is presently starring in the film Vishwaroopam whose shooting is going on in the West Asian country of Jordan. The film, which is produced and directed by Kamal Haasan himself, happens to be the first-ever Indian film to be shot in the picturesque Jordan. U.S.-based Pooja Kumar, a former ‘Miss India USA’, is paired opposite Kamal Haasan in the film.


Vishwaroopam, however, won’t be Pooja’s debut film as she had already starred in a Tamil film titled Kaadhal Rojavae way back in the year 2000 and has also starred in some English and Hindi films. The multi-faceted Pooja has also produced short films and had been a successful model. She had also worked as veejay in Channel V, the music channel besides a brief stint as a newsreader in the television show Namaste America.
The film is being made simultaneously in Tamil and Hindi. For the first time in his career, Kamal Haasan would be playing a terrorist in this film. He has boldly taken on the role of a Mujahideen terrorist belonging to a group which thrives in Afghanistan. While Kamal’s penchant for taking on roles which many of contemporaries might feel hesitant to look at is well-known, it remains to be seen what message does he intend to convey through his role.
Beautiful-looking Bollywood actress Isha Shervani, who is rumoured to be about to tie the nuptial knot with Indian fast bowler Zaheer Khan, would be playing a significant role in the film. Besides producing and directing the film, Kamal has also taken upon the additional responsibilities of penning the story, screenplay and dialogues of the film. The film has music by the famed trio of Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy.

Vishnuvardhan dub or remake Panjaa?


Vishnuvardhan is one of the most promising young directors in Tamil cinema.
His claim to fame is Ajith’s remake of Rajinikanth’s Billa which was a super hit.
Now Vishnu is doing his first straight Telugu film Panjaa with power star Pawan Kalyan and music by Yuvan Shankar Raja.
Initially, there were reports that the film releasing on December 9 will be dubbed into Tamil as Pawan has a market in Tamil Nadu.
However, the latest we hear is that the producer plans to dub Panjaa into Tamil as Kuri and will release a month after its Telugu release. There are unconfirmed rumours that Vishnu wants to remake Panjaa in Tamil with Ajith as the hero.
The buzz is that Vishnu is waiting for the success of Panjaa in Telugu before he remakes it in Tamil. It does not make sense to dub the film in Tamil and release it a month later.

A peeved Nayanthara said: “I understand that these are star trappings. All that I wanted was to gently warn the person to deactivate the fake Twitter account. But now understanding the intensity of the situation, I will be approaching the cyber-crime police.”
We understand that after Nayan denied being on Twitter, the impersonator put upsome tweets on the sensitive issue of the ban on the film Dam 999. This had the actress see red and take up the issue with higher authorities.

Kazhugu Movie Online – Music Review


Kazhugu Movie Online – Music Review
Cast:Krishna Sekhar, Bindu Madhavi, Karunas, Thambi Ramaiah, Praveen, Jayaprakash
Direction:Sathyasiva
Production:K.K.Sekhar, K.S.Madhubala
Music:Yuvan Shankar Raja
This week purely belongs to Yuvan Shankar Raja. Just days after the songs he composed for Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Panjaa’, Vishnuvardhan’s maiden film in Telugu, was released amidst much fan fare in Hyderabad (the event was aired live by IndiaGlitz) the music composer had an audio launch in Kollywood, and that is ‘Kazhugu’, which has Vishnuvardhan’s brother Krishna in the lead.
Sony Music has released the music of ‘Kazhugu’, which is a cocktail of emotions, we must say. Some unique voices (Pushpavanam Kuppusamy, Karthik Raja, Krishnaraj etc) have crooned the lines penned by the likes of Na Muthukumar, Snehan and Eknath. Let’s take a check on the songs in here…
Many things are there between a man and a woman. And this song attempts to track a few. Yuvan’s music gives life to the ‘dynamic’ lyrics of Snehan, with the voices of Krishnaraj, Velmurugan and Sathyan adding more value. A racy folk song, ‘Aambalaikum Pombalaikum’ makes us tap our foot from the beginning till the end.
What’s inside a woman’s heart? Well, a billon dollar question which will never see an answer. Listen to this song penned by Muthukumar and crooned by Priya, which takes us to a world which is as different as the woman’s heart. Priya has expressed well the feelings of a ‘girl in love’ in this Ilayaraja kind of song. Yuvan reminds one of his dad.
The numbers that are sung by Yuvan Shankar Raja always come with a Midas touch. So has ‘Paathagathi Kannupattu…’, penned by Snehan. The song which starts on a very mild note slowly makes its impact felt in a big way. Yuvan’s voice aptly fits well into the shoes of a youth, who has a great admiration for his girl.
Whatte kuthu! Apparently an item number towards the climax, ‘Vaadi Vaadi…’ sung by Pushapavanam Kuppusamy, the big daddy of folk songs, in the company of Suvi Suresh and Anita is here to stay. Yuvan’s electrifying tune and energizing beats do enough magic, with the rest being taken care of by the singers.
Another ‘Aathadi Manasudhan…’ is here, this time by Karthik Raja. This one is the male version of the feelings expressed by the female voice a couple of songs above. The elder brother of Yuvan marks his presence as a good singer too.
The music of ‘Kazhugu’ flies high, perhaps putting the listener on cloud nine.
