Sarath Kumar’s and Radhika’s passport were robbed in Rome. Sarath and his wife Radhika were in Rome for the shooting of Gautham Menon’s Pachail Killi Muthucharam. Along with their passports, cash amount of US $ 2500 was also robbed. Reliable sources reveal that Radhika has an open visa to England and also has a citizenship visa to Srilanka. Sarath Kumar being an Ex – MP has a diplomat passport which could be misused by the miscreants. Also Sarath has valid visas to many countries. This incident was later reported to the Indian embassy that helped in the safe return of Sarath and Radhika to Chennai.

Dasavatharam’s shoot continues at a rapid pace and as usual, we have more news on its proceedings. Sources reveal that among the ten roles, seven roles are shot in Chennai, and three in the USA. Portions involving five of Kamal’s avatars in Chennai have already been shot.

Kamal and the Dasavatharam unit would return to Chennai after the month long US schedule to complete the portions invlolving the remaining two avatars.
extermely funny!
A funny way of looking at Dharmapuri
If you are still in Diwali mood, please don't read the following review,
After contributing to the major downfall of Ajith's tirupathi, its director..per ..per ..perarasu....he was thinking who could he terminate next and ..yes....he got our captain and that's the evolution of a legendary universal(tamil) film "DHARMAPURI"...
Precautionary steps to watch this film:
1.Four pieces of cotton...(2 to keep in ears...and the rest 2 will be kept in our noses after we watch the film fully)
2. zandu balm,tiger balm..if possible original time bomb.
3. itch guard (b'cos paadhi padam paarthu namaku udambellam pull'arikum').
Actors:
Captain Vijaykanth(3/4 screen...),Heroine-achacho paavam(not even 4 scenes including songs),comedy..all scenes where captain comes becomes comedy to the core.
All other vetti actors(donno what they do ½ time).
Moments of the film:
1.Captain's intro:----- NO Indian..oops..hollywood film could ever try such imagination to project his hero to this level as perarasu does.(u deserve an applause..).while all his partymen,wait for his entry in screen..there comes captain to save a minister's girl from a rowdy in rameswaram..rowdy threatens everyone including policemen nearby with his gun and no one goes near him(obvious..)Captain looks at him,goes nearhim barehanded. The rowdy warns him 3 times(Indian cinema rule..not more than 3) and then shoots at him..the bullet hits vijaykanth's chest...and reflects back and hits the rowdy's chest and kills him...Please wait...don't get astonished.then he takes out the "archanai plate"he hid in his shirt(what a archanai thattu..if u can get for 10 rs.it acts as bullet proof and save ur life).
Advice to all military forces:please dismantle all ur bullet proof shields and get archanai thattu's for them. cost cutting one.
2 if time permits captain gets his costume change and start performing exercises..iam sorry..dances.. and 30 to 40 dancers surround him and shout"neenga thaan nallavar, neenga thaan vallavar, neenga naaliku CM, morning na AM,evening na PM"...happa horrible torture and where on earth his costumes are picked up...fluorescent coloured shirt specially and he makes to a point that in all scenes including his duet or romantic scene his party's "flaming torch"symbol is projected well.And a grand make up like rajkiran with a big crown on his head and sandal on his body(weak hearted people pls omit the scene)
3. Half the film is like assembly meetings and virudhachalam campaign speeches.and everybody including the villain praises him .
"naan adangi poravan illai adakitu poravan"
"ivaru kootani vaika maatar,thani aala thaan irupaar"
"ennai nambuna nambikai..mathavangalukku etcharikai
ivar naadodi illai....naadodi mannan"..
When u atleast rest in peace that the director Perarasu didn't act in this film as he did in tirupathi....after interval even that dream goes crashed..oops.here we have his entry as "Speed"lawyer perarasu.he comes and says"naan porandha edam sivakasi, valarandha idam tirupachi, pona idam tirupathi,ipo nikaradhu dharmapuri"innum neraya idam poven....(oh god we are done for...mokkanayakanur,paanaampati,paradesipalayam.. lots to come ). Soon he will become best competitor of T rajendhar.
Note:- don't miss the scene where captain hits 50 men in a row with a single kick which even matrix Keanu reaves couldn't get it right. And also the scene where captain blasts 1000 figure bombs(kanni vedi.he..he) with his small remote control which we use for MP3 players in car's.(technology drives...)
Iam sorry guys(?????)I didn't see the climax, I came away ½ hr before climax as I was in a mood to hit my head somewhere and cry badly seeing this.
Last but not least "Dharma puri"---poisonous pani puri. Die another day.

After Imsai Arasan 23rd Pulikesi’s success, come dian Vadivelu’s status as a hero has risen considerably. But very few know that the man behind Vadivelu’s success in films is Thambi Ramayya who pens the unusual scripts.
Now according to close sources, though many people are waiting with scripts to get a nod from Vadivelu, it is Ramayya who was able to convince him with his unique idea of remaking the 1956 blockbuster comedy Rambayin Kadhal.
This a mythological story with social theme. In the original version, veteran actress Bhanumathy played the title role of Ramba and late comedian Thangavelu had acted opposite her.
Sources also reveal that Vadivelu has seen the original movie and currently, Thambi Ramayya is improvising the script to suit the audience’s tastes. According to sources, Vadivelu has been offered a whopping but yet to be disclosed amount for the role. Producer Rajagopal has already acquired the rights to remake Rambayin Kadhal.
The technical crew from Imsai.. — music directors Sabesh–Murali, art director Krishnamoorthy, cinematographer Arthur Wilson will be seen in action in this film too.
According to mythology, Ramba is the dancer in Lord Indra’s court, who lives in Amravati, the capital of the gods and goddesses located on Mount Meru. She is very beautiful and her hourglass figure is captivating. Ramba is popularly known as the ‘Daughter of Delight.’ Keeping this in mind, the director wants a Bollywood actress to play the female lead and according to the grape vine, Shilpa Shetty has been approached to act opposite Vadivelu. The other actresses who appear among their choice for the heroine are Urmila Matondkar and Isha Koppikar.
yeppa vadivelu..koduthu vechavar... shilpa sheety,urmila madonkar..emmadoiyov...

No more caravans!
Nov 23, 2006
Seems like the grandiosity and the lavishness that the lead stars showcase in movies will be limited to the screen and to their personal lives and not in the sets at the cost of the producer. In an attempt to curb the production expenses, there will be no more excessive spending and pampering of actors for their star status. The producers say that he who pays the piper calls the tune.
In an effort to slash the production costs, the Producers Council and Nadigar Sangam have jointly announced certain effective cost cutting measures, which include depriving the stars of the caravan facility. No caravans will be provided – if the sets have the facility of a make up room – for the stars at the cost of the producer here on. However, the stars are permitted to use their own to commute to the sets. Some lead stars in the industry including Namitha and Trisha own a caravan of their own.
If you wonder, what is it that the caravan has that burns a hole in the producers’ pocket, we have the answer. A caravan is a plush roomy wagon that houses all the amenities including a green room and all the facilities for entertainment on the wheels.
Apart from that, the lead ladies imported from Mumbai or other parts of the country will not be placed in the comfort of five star hotels. Instead, they will be made to stay in three star hotels.
Well, with all those efforts, let us hope that the producers will direct the additional savings derived out of the cost effective measures in producing good movies. And we have the authority to dream, what say?
For those who are interested
I'm not sure if this is the right thread: I know there are a quite a few Perarasu's fans around.
kumudham.com has an interview with director perarasu in their Kumudham Web TV section. Have Fun watching :)

Jeevan will share the screen with five popular heroines in Kollywood for his next movie.
The villain-cum-hero in Tamil cinema, who shot to fame with the role of a baddie in Kaakha Kaakha, is playing the lead role in the remake of yesteryear classic Naan Avanillai.
The movie would be produced by noted film distributor Japak. He has reportedly acquired the remake rights of the yesteryear classic featuring Gemini Ganesan in the lead role.
The new version will have Jeevan in the role of Gemini Ganesan. It is an extension of the role played by Jeevan in his Thiruttu Payalae. He plays a womanizer.
The original version starred five actresses in it. In the remake, five prominent actresses have been cast including Sneha and Namitha. The third is Malavika, who acted with Jeevan in Thiruttu Payale. The fourth and fifth are Jothirmayi who was introduced in Thalainagaram, and Kirti Chawla.
Battle royal for Pongal
IndiaGlitz [Monday, December 04, 2006]
Battle lines are drawn for Pongal. It would be a cracker of contest on the festive day when the movies featuring Ajith, Vijay, Vijayakanth and Jeyam Ravi are expected to make it to the theatres.
According to reports, Vijay's Pokiri directed by Prabhu Deva is tipped for a Pongal release. A remake of the Telugu hit Pokiri, expectations are high on the movie.
Ajith’s Aalwar would be released on the same day. The producer nursed a desire of releasing it in early December. But now it seems he has opted for a release in January, 2007 itself since Ajith’s Varalaru is still drawing good crowds.
The shooting of Jeyam Ravi's Deepavali is happening with full zing. Directed by Ezhil and produced by director Lingusamy, the movie has Jeyam Ravi and Bhavana in prominent roles. It is expected to release this January.
The latest to join the race is Vijayakanth. His Sabari, directed by Suresh and produced by Salem Chandrasekhar, is releasing on Pongal day.
Vikram's Bheema might also make it for Pongal.

Yesterday – a super hero. Today – Sorry….
Dec 12, 2006
Remember those days when the Tamil screens were ruled by countryside romances with irresistible songs and not to forget the first time ever hero was portrayed as a Tamil cowboy? Ramarajan immediately comes to mind when one thinks of village romances. He was in the line of Rajini and Kamal during those days.
However – as tinsel town has it – success is subjective only to the number of hits.
Ramarajan eventually lost his market and was never able to regain it until now. His attention diverted to politics, which did him no good either. The actor who was often prefixed with the title ‘Gramathu Nayagan’ (Village Hero) is currently undergoing ayurvedic treatment in Kerala to treat his facial muscles, which suffered a stroke recently.
Ramarajan, a former MP of AIADMK partook in numerous campaigns organized by the party. He suffered from a mild paralytic stroke attack recently, which damaged his facial muscles. Having obtained divorce from his actor wife Nalini, Ramarajan leads a solitary life.

Tamil stunt talent in Hollywood
Dec 18, 2006
Looks like our in-house talents have become quite a rage in Hollywood. The outsourcing wave has brought Indian talents to the limelight. Earlier it was animation for movies such as Shrek and Click, now it seems Hollywood is eager to try its hands in choreographing stunt scenes with our stunt masters. Noted stunt master Kanal Kannan has been roped in for the Hollywood movie First Fire.
Produced by Paul Nicolas, First Fire has Sean Patrick and Rehan Elizabeth in the lead. Kanal composed stunts for the movie, the shoots of which are being carried out in and around Goa and Mumbai.
Speaking about the offer Kanal Kannan says: ‘They obtained my information from the Internet and approached me to direct Indian stunts such as Sword Fight and Kambu Sandai for the movie’. They are quite happy with me and as a result I am directing stunt sequences for their two more movies for which I am flying to South Africa soon, added Kannan.
Here is wishing Kanal to rock in Hollywood as well.
Seems Gautham too had joined the elite list of Cheran and others !
His recent interview here
http://brangan.easyjournal.com/entry.aspx?eid=3202440
is a prime example for his out spoken behaviour ! :roll:
Tamilnadu Chief Minister Dr.Karunanidhi has slashed the ticket rates across the state.This law will come to effect from the New Years day. In a press release from the CM office it states that the ticket rates for an air-conditioned theatre in cities should not exceed beyond 50 rupees. This order comes after the producer council members met the CM to express their concern on the piracy issues.
The members also brought to the notice of CM the high ticket price in the theatres for the first two weeks of the movie release which keeps the crowd out. Theatres in Chennai charge more than 100 Rupees in the first two weeks of a new release (this is an understatement). Hearing their grievances Chief Minister has also slashed the law that allows the theatre owners to increase the ticket rates on their own for the first two weeks which was imposed by the previous AIADMK government. The producer council also thanked the Chief Minister for his support to the film Industry. Now that the Government has laid the laws, will the theatres follow it?
Finally a good move by the govt
http://sify.com/movies/tamil/fullstory.php?id=14354017
The Tamilnadu government has issued an order slashing the ticket rates at cinema theatres across the state effective from Jan 1, 2007!
Today morning (20 Dec) the Tamil Film Producer’s Council (TFPC) under its president Ramanarayanan met Chief Minister M.Karunanidhi at his residence in Gopalapuram. They had enlightened the Chief Minister that even after waiving the entertainment tax, common man is unable to benefit as ticket rates are very high especially in cities.
Added to that the earlier government had allowed cinemas halls to increase the ticket rates of any film in its first two weeks of release. Hence theatres were charging Rs 100 to Rs 200 for almost all Tamil films which according to TFPC discouraged the common man to visit cinema halls and instead encouraged piracy! At Rs 30 an entire family was able to watch a film in their homes with a pirated CD!
Hearing their grievances, Karunanidhi immediately revoked the law that allowed theatres to increase ticket rates in the first two weeks! Now a uniform rate has been prescribed for all theatres whether they show new/old films!
From Jan 1, 2007 the new ticket rates in Cities (Chennai, Coimbatore, and other corporations) are-
Air conditioned theatre
Highest rate will be Rs 50!
10 percent of total seats at lowest rates-Rs 10.
Non a/c theatre- Highest rate Rs 30
10 percent of total seats at lowest rates-Rs 5.
Smaller centres
B stations- Air conditioned theatres highest rate Rs 40.
10 percent of total seats at lowest rates -Rs 5.
Tamilnadu government by reducing ticket rates has won over the hearts of the common man. But already a major crisis is brewing in Tamil film industry.

Kamal in cop film again
IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, December 19, 2006]
As part of the 150 years celebration of Chennai police to be celebrated on the first week of January, the city police is now producing a short film at a cost of Rs 10 lakh to enhance its presence in a novel way.
Along with the prime stars of the tinsel world like Kamal Haasan, Nasser, Asin, Commissioner Letika Saran and certain other top officials are to act in the movie.
The film is being directed by director Ilavarasan and produced by Abirami Ramanathan and the shooting is taking place in and around the city.
News source: http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/t...cle/27859.html
Instead of watching a film on a very poor print for Rs 30 on VCD, now they are going to watch it for Rs 50 in theatre and that too with air conditioner...
good logical move! lets see what the piracy mongers do now!
why is the industry in a crisis? this could prove beneficial. are the theatre owners part of the industry? if no, then the theatre owners need to worry about it. but i would say they can now run a movie for a longer time.. would also be easier for movies to now run for long periods of time in theatres. and when people who watch movies on pirated video come to theatres, its going to benefit them in the long run!
every actor will lose crores!
for an actor like rajni, kamal or vijayakanth who have own production company ...its not a problem
