Will Bebo play Carmen?
The entire cast and crew of Shyam Benegal's Chamki Chameli is in place but they are still looking for the leading lady
Subhash K Jha
This must be the only project in Bollywood which has hero Sanjay Dutt all set to lend his marquee name to the massive project…. but the heroine is yet to be found!
Chamki Chameli has everything in place. The director Shyam Benegal is all set to collaborate with his Zubeida team of music composer A R Rahman and lyricist Javed Akhtar in what promises to be the first fully-fledged musical spectacle since Chetan Anand's Heer Ranjha where Javed's father-in-law Kaifi Azmi had written every dialogue in verse. Vaibhavi Merchant is supposed to choreograph Chamki in the desi big-screen adaptation of the Spanish opera.
Sanjay Gupta says that one of the names at the top of Sanjay's list is Kareena Kapoor, who incidentally was also the first choice for the Chamki Chameli at a time when Benegal was to make the film for another producer.
But when the project exchanged hands and went to Gupta, many other leading ladies were considered. Finally, Chamki Chameli may go to Kareena again.
There's only one hitch. Kareena is shooting for Mani Ratnam's film in the same location, Rajasthan and within a similar ambience. Even the dates for the two films may clash.
But Kareena does seem the right candidate to play the lead in the newest adaptation of Bizet's Opera about a passionate soldier and a fey capricious gypsy woman, now trans-located to Rajasthan.
Kareena is certainly open to the idea. She says, "Why not? I'm looking at challenging roles now. Carmen sounds so exciting. And it had come to me originally. Besides I've never worked with Sanjay Dutt. A few years ago Mahesh Manjrekar was planning a very different love story with the two of us where I was supposed to play a blind girl. I'd love to be paired with Sanjay Dutt. He's the ultimate looker."

A spiritual-cultural event has been arranged at Tallapaka, the birth place of the poet in Kadapa district, where nearly 1000 students from Annamacharya Engineering College would take part in a community devotional singing programme.

Puli wakes up again

Kushi was a much talked about film for Vijay under the direction of S J Suryah. The film earned good reviews across the media and was praised for its unique treatment of the script. Subsequently Suryah-Vijay combination was said to come together again for
'Puli'. But for unknown reasons the project got shelved and Vijay and Suryah got busier in their respective tracks. Kollywood sources alleged that Vijay recommended a few changes in Puli which were not acceptable for Suryah.
Now, Puli is being revived in Telugu with Pawan Kalyan in the lead role. The interesting fact about the Telugu project is that Pawan has accepted the script of Suryah as such and is said to be quite happy about the same. When Suryah was quizzed on this he replied, "The script is exactly the way I had created and there is no change whatsoever". Telugu Puli is being produced by Ramesh whose earlier venture in production was Pokkiri.
WHOA :shock:

Also, he is composing music for Vijay's Azhagiya Thamizh Magan. He says that plans are on to come out with a Tamil music album very soon.
Will Isai have A R Rahman?
By Behindwoods News Bureau.
April 21, 2007
S J Suryah's recent releases Thirumagan and Vyabari have bombed at the box office without a trace and the director turned actor is dismayed over this. He is said to be at the cross roads in his career when he is contemplating whether to continue his acting department or
just stay behind the camera directing actors or do both. Having come to a conclusion that acting under somebody's direction does not yield the desired result, S J Suryah has deduced that it is best for him to act in his own direction. Hence he has approached Nick Arts Films who had given him the first break, to fund his next film Isai which will be directed by him and also will have him in the lead role. Going by the past history of the music department in S J Suryah's earlier films especially New and Ah Aah where A R Rahman had done a remarkable job in delivering lilting melodies, will Isai have music scored by the Isai Puyal? We'll have to wait and watch.
