Trisha in Kamal's Marmayogi!

Trisha is playing opposite Kamalhasan in his movie Marmayogi. With this recent hit Dasavatharam, Kamal is fully charged to make another movie, Marmayogi.

He has roped-in Trisha as the lady pair for him. She has not acted with the top two stars of Tamil cinema--Rajnikanth and Kamalhasan.

This is the first ever time she is acting with the top heroes of Tamil cinema. With Kamalhasan being perfectionist and hard worker, it will be tough tasks for Trisha to pair with him.


The experience of Kamal Hasan is not even equal to the age of Trisha. Though she has acted with the next generation leaders--Vijay (in Gilli, Kuruvi) and with Ajith (in Kireedom, Ji). She has acted with Vikram (in Sami), Shyam (in Lesa Lesa), Simbhu (Alai), Jayam Ravi (in Something Something).

Can all this experience help her in acting with Kamal--Ulaga Nayagan--Universal Hero?

Dasavatharam - Review

Excellent, it can be given 4.5 STARS. All the 10 different characters portrayd by Kamal Hasan were excellent and highly differentiated.

No one can easily find all the ten characters, especially people seeing him for the first or second time.

The story is good, starting in the 12th Century and then toggles around the biological weapon. The villian Kamal creates the weapons and the hero tries to stop it.

The Tsunami finally washes everything away.

Dasavatharam Given U Certificate

The censor board has issued an "U" certificate to the much awaited movie Dasavatharam. As everyone knows this movie is being produced by Oscar Films Ravichandran and directed by K.S. Ravikumar with Kamal acting in 10 different roles with different make up.

The film went through various challenges including a case against Kamalhasan for stealing the story. The case was filed saying that the story was stolen and it is not the story of Kamalhasan. Later the court directed both the parties to submit a detailed document explaining the story in Engish.

Few weeks before the release, the trailer was released. One of the religious outfits filed a case in the court asking the directors to remove some of the scenes that hurt the sentiments and religioius feelings. The film portrays as if Saiva one group is hurting the Vainava group.

The court directed the Censor Board and the Director of the movie to give the reply. With the recent U Certification, the board has mentioned that there are no scenes that would hurt the sentiments of any religion.

Everyone hopes that the movie will come out to theatres very soon!

Rajni in 20 Different Characters!

Everyone knows that Kamalhasan is acting in 10 different charcaters in his recent venture Dasavatharam. He has spent enormous hours and put in a lot of effort in addition to the money by the producer Oscar Ravichandran.

Superstar of Tamil Cinema Rajnikanth is already into Kuselan and the shooting is in progress in Hyderabad's Ramoji Film City.

In a recent move, Rajni has come out in 20 different characters in a song in the movie Kuselan. He has already done that in Baasha where he came out in different characters--bus conductor, local thug, police, bearer, etc. It is not uncommon for him to do such a thing again.



We have to wait and see what are those 20 different characters are and how are they differentiated! Sure that he won't get locked in the make room for hours!

Let us wait and see!

Dasavatharam in trouble again!

The Oscar Films produced Dasavatharam with Kamalhasan in 10 different characters is in trouble again. Already it was in trouble related to story where it was said that the story belonged to a person was stolen and used by Kamalhasan.

Now, the scenes related to the old century where Kamal plays a role of a Vaishnav, is being mishandled by Saiva. A group felt that it is hurting the sentiments of Saiva group and hence those should be removed. They have approached the court seeking justice.

Let us see whether the film crew is able to come out of it and release it as per plan!

Jackie Chan Hits Back!

Jackie Chan in his blog has hit back at the reports published by the recently launched English daily news paper that he disrepected Indians!

After landing in Beinjing airpor, he was surprised when few people asked him "Why the trip to Chennai did not go well?" He then saw the news reported by "Namma Chennai" published by the recently launched news paper Times of India.

The news paper said that:

1. Jackie Chan brought his own drinking water and did not take the Indian mineral water;
2. He did not take the Indian food though every visitor to the country eagerly taste Indian food. He brought his own cook and did not taste the Indian food.
3. He did not meet the press people and he was always locked in his room; The only person who had easy access to him was actresses Mallika Sherawat
5. He did not respect the Indian artists; He asked "Who is Amitab Bachan."

All of these news irked Jackie and he is always polite in giving back, but he said, this is not correct and he has to give back, otherwise the good image that he has built will be tarnished.

He said, it is his responsibility to clear the matter otherwise people of India would misunderstand him.

He said, the irresponsibile reporters have published wrong and incorrect information. He said in his blog:

It is not his style to hit out at the but the irresponible reporters had left him no choce. To the reporters who wrote those offensive articles, I say this:

"You say I brought my own water. What brand did I bring? You can find out from the housekeepers at the hotel whether I did such a thing.

"You say I refused to eat Indian food. Do your research and talk to the three butlers the hotel assigned to my room and ask them what I ate!

"You say I holed up in my air-conditioned hotel room, ignoring my hosts. Why would I travel all the way to India and refuse to leave my hotel room?"

He also said:

"I've been in the public eye for many years and I have put up with a lot of ridiculous things written about me. I very seldom lash out at anyone. But truly, these irresponsible reporters spiled the memory of my trip, and I am so afraid that when my gracious and wonderful hosts read the lies, they may get the complete wrong impression of me and my feelings about them and about the event.

Therefore, I am posting this message on my website immediately to set the reocrds straigt."

This is indeed ridiculous to publish such a thing without having data. I am with Jackie Chan and in fact would urge him to sue the news paper and the reporter. This is no doubt would damge and tarnish the image of anyone involved. Few people who read the paper spoke of this news and were surprised that Jackie would do such a thing!

Jackie Chan wanted to Indian Films!

Allocating few minutes to reporters on the sidelines of the audio launch of mega movie produced by Oscan Films Ravichandran 'Dasavatharam', starring Kamal Hassan, and directed by K.S. Ravikumar, Chan said: "India is the world's biggest market for movies. I want to do a film here. I am eagerly waiting for a good project."

Chan described Bollywood star Mallika Sherawat, who shares a brief screen space with him in 'The Myth', as a "dear friend and a sister".

To a question on his breathtaking stunts, he said, he does not maintain any special diet. He eats what he likes. But, key things is the exercise, which he said never misses.

During his speech in the function, he said, he wanted to do a film with Kamalhasan. He also jokingly said, he will do the love scenes and Kamal can do the actions.

So, his eagerness to do the Indian film is getting momentum. Let us hope he does a film in India!
