Mani to dub `Guru` in Tamil!
By Moviebuzz | Friday, 24 November , 2006, 11:29
Mani Ratnam has decided to dub his magnum opus Guru in Tamil. Now Abhishek Bachchan, Mithun Chakravarthy, Aishwarya Rai, Vidya Balan and Mallika Sherawat will speak in Tamil! Madhavan is also doing a cameo role in the film.
The Hindi version of Guru which was slated for release on Dec 22 is now postponed to January 12, 2007. So Guru in Tamil, will release simultaneously with its original Hindi version as a Pongal special.
There is a lot of buzz around the film as it is based on the life and times of Dhirubhai Ambani and his rise to power as one of the richest man in the country. The songs by A.R.Rahman have already become a hit.
As far as Tamil dubbing goes Aishwarya Rai has a market here. In Guru there is wedding scene of Abhishek and Ash shot at a Madurai temple which is drawing a lot of curiosity. The couple are said to be real life lovers and astrologers are predicting that they will get married soon.
So is Mani trying to cash in on the romance and make more money for his Madras Talkies?

Positives
There is good news for Ratnam, Rahman, Abhi and Ash fans as 'Guru' finds a place in Top-3 within a week of the release. Also notable is the fact that the album's promotion has barely begun and it is the entire cast and crew setup that has actually enabled such heartening sales in no time. The music is a good mix of different genre of songs and if the film clicks, it would only enjoy continued sales for weeks
Negatives
A couple of (situational) songs are not much impressive and may only do well if integrated seamlessly with the flow of the film!

Madhavan on GURU
Madhavan plays a journalist for the first time in Mani Rathnam's ready-for-release Guru. Says Maddy, "I've always been on the other side of the firing line. Now I know how it feels to be asking the questions." Reliving the experience of shooting with his mentor Maddy says, "Guru is going to be no ordinary film. Trust me; I've worked thrice with Mani before, including the Tamil versions of Saathiya and Yuva. Never have I seen him so charged. Mani wanted to go into the various time passages in Guru chronologically. He waited for all our dates, and then did it in one go."
Any regrets about not being the central character in his mentor's film? "None at all. I've no qualms in doing anything Mani asks me to. He's my guru. And when my guru asked me to be in Guru there was no question of questioning him. Nobody questions Mani."
Maddy is happy to have worked with Abhishek. "He's one actor who's a friend first. It is very difficult to make friends with your colleagues. Somewhere the sense of competitiveness comes in. Not with Abhishek. I always wish I could do Hindi versions of my Tamil films. But when Abhishek did Run and Yuva, I was the happiest. If Mani's Yuva took Abhishek two steps forward, Guru will take him ten steps."
Interestingly Madhavan shot for Rituparno Ghosh's Sunglass back-to-back with Guru. "Though it was my first time with Ritu it felt like we had worked together many times. If in Guru I have Abhishek for company in Sunglass, I've Jayaji. People tend to notice how strong his mom's influence is on Abhishek's personality, specially the eyes and smile."
After completing his work in Guru and Rituparno Ghosh's Sunglass Madhavan is now in Malaysia for a week-long vacation with his wife Sarita and son Vedant.
"Actually," Maddy confesses seriously , "My parents advised me to go alone. Taking my son along is as good as kissing my vacation goodbye. To say he's a handful would be an understatement. He's barely 1, and he turns on my laptop and plays the music. He seems to be a gizmo expert from now only. He makes us run around his little finger. The only one not in his control is our parrot Ashley. Ashley hates Vedant for stealing away the attention. Even I feel the same way every time I see my wife and son together."
