These days Sandhya is keeping an extremely low profile. She is refusing to attend public functions, something which she used to do regularly. Grapevine has it that she is in love, and hold your breath, with Santhanoo Bhygayaraj! Earlier the two were seen romancing in up-market coffee shops. But ever since he left to do Angel John with Mohanlal in Kochi, poor Sandhya has been feeling pretty lonely. We hear, she's friends with Santhanoo's sister Saranya and they used to hang out together, which confirmed the rumours of their affair. In the meanwhile, she is busy with three Tamil films - Odi Polamma, Irumbukottai Murattu Singam, Nootrukku Noor, Aptharakshaka in Kannada and hasini a heroine centric film in Telugu. But who says, no time for love, these days
After Udayanidhi Stalin and his director KS Ravikumar discovered the picturesque locales of Iceland for their film, Aadhavan starring Suriya and Nayanthara, it has become the hottest destination for south Indian film makers. All topnotch heroes in Telugu and Kannada are now packing their bags to shoot their songs at the snowcapped mountains of Iceland, especially after seeing the stills of the song Yeno Yeno..Panithulli...from Aadhavan. Telugu superstars Trisha and Venkatesh recently headed there to shoot a song for their film, Namo Venkatesa. NTR and director VV Vinayak chose Iceland too for Adurs featuring Nayanthara and Sheela. Even Kannada stars Puneeth Rajkumar and Darshan are planning to follow suit. Iceland is suddenly heating up, we'd say!
R. Madhavan or Maddy is a qualified engineer, and he is the only actor in Tamil who has a fascination for aero modeling and gizmos. He has a large collection of minihelicopters and planes. His palatial house has a hobby room where he loves to spend leisure time and makes models of planes and helicopters. Madhavan, who is a vegetarian, endorses petA and was voted as the `cutest male vegetarian' by an online poll conducted by them.
Dhanush is on cloud nine these days especially after he shifted to his new penthouse in the heart of Chennai. It cost him a fortune but Dhanush is not complaining. He roped in Chirag Kapoor to do the interiors, while Aishwarya, his wife, chipped in too. Looks like Dhanush these days has become the complete family man.
He just can't get enough of "Aishu" and his little son Yatra is "my bundle of happiness and my lucky charm." The doting father that he is, Dhanush is very upset that his shooting schedules have been keeping him away from Yatra, who's now started going to school. Dhanush can't believe his son's grown so much and gets nostalgic about his own childhood whenever he talks about the little one. Ash and Dhanush always make it a point to avoid the media when it comes to their son. But, for them, it's sonny side up!
Suriya's brother, Karthi has signed his fourth film titled Naan Mahan Allai for his cousin to be directed by Susindran of Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu fame. Telugu star Kajal Aggarwal, who suddenly shot to fame with the mega hit, Magadheera is playing the female lead. In Tamil, she was last seen in Saran's Modhi Vilayadu which was pretty disappointing. The shoot for Naan Mahan Allai has begun already in Hyderabad and Vishakhapatnam. It is a fast paced film with action and romance mixed together, backed by a solid script. We just can't wait for this one to come out!
After the super success of puthiya Mugham, Prithviraj has hiked his charges to Rs 40 lakhs, which was earlier only 25! The film is a super hit and has raked in over Rs 2 crores! It is Prithviraj's biggest hit and the film became profitable from Kerala theatres in record 17 days. Meanwhile, it has also given Prithvi a new action hero image.And guess what, he might just be the new face of Malayalam cinema, something that was meant only for the two superstars (Mamooty and Mohanlal) for the last 20 years. What's more, these days theatres in Kerala prefer his new films over everything else.let's make way for the new hero.
Looks like Nayanthara, these days is quite smitten by `different' kind of cinema. We hear that she is impressed with a script narrated by the award winning Malayalam director, Shyama Prasad. This new film titled Electra is an adaptation of a Greek play. Talks are on with Arya to play the hero and producer Vindyan confirms that Nayan is working out her dates to do this film. What's more, she's not charging a penny for this one! She plays the central character Alexandra in this heroine oriented film, which will start rolling from November after she completes her Telugu assignments. Good move, Nayan.
After all, money is not everything, right?
Siddique and Lal's original laugh riot, the classic In Harihar Nagar, had a sequel after 18 years when writer, director, producer and distributor Lal came up with 2 Harihar Nagar, which became a blockbuster! And now Lal is back with the third part, already.
Titled In Ghost House Inn, the third of the trilogy is starting less than four months after the release of the sequel! This one is going to be a horror comedy thriller withhe original bunch (plus three new men and five heroines) back in trouble! The shoot will begin next month, and will be a big Easter-Vishu and summer release, by Lal creations. Three cheers, we say...
Meera Jasmine, as usual has pulled out of another affair when she was on the brink of tying the knot. We are talking about Meera's `great' love for Mandolin Rajesh, the younger brother of mandolin maestro U Srinivas. The affair has been going on for two years now. The couple, who were supposedly living together have now officially split. At a recent function in Bangalore, Rajesh himself confessed that it was all over. "I had a great dream which went bust leaving me with a lot of painful memories. Anyway, time would be a great healer. I'm getting back to the music world and will concentrate on my career", he said.
And recently at the pooja of her new film, Meera refused to answer any questions on this and walked out of the press conference after a journalist asked her about her private life. Is this turning out to be a case of Run Meera Run?
Jayasurya is quite busy these days with his next film, a romantic comedy, Uttaraswayamvaram, after his recent hit Ivar Vivahithirayal. Romais paired with him and the film is directed by debutant Ramakanth Sarju. Jayasurya is appearing together with Roma as a romantic pair for the third time in this film.
This one's all about a young man who drops out of college and falls for a rich girl in a village. So the film will surely have lots of humour laced with drama and emotion.
What's more, it's got a whole bunch of comedy stars in it.
The film is currently being shot and promises oodles of entertainment. And we like it just like that!
Gowri Munjal is Mammootty's next heroine we mean! There are no Malayalee heroines these days. It is usually out-of-work girls from Telugu, Kannada or Tamil films that end up in Malayalam cinema and become the first choice of superstars. Mamootty and Gowri Munjal are coming together in the Paleri Manikkam directed film, Ranjit.
It is a period crime thriller in which Mammootty will play both the key roles of a CBI officer who investigates a case in 2009 and that of a feudal Muslim landlord who lived in the 50s and was involved in the same crime.
Gowri is quite excited about this film and hopes to do more meaningful cinema in Malayalam. Telugu's loss and Malayalam's gain!
