Jeeva followed it up with Unnale Unnale and he introduced a Bangalore model Vinay in the lead role. Featuring Sada and Kajol's sister Tanisha, Unnale Unnale was a run away hit.

Kissed 11 times, finally fainted

Stunt master Jacquard Thangam is making a movie titled 'Surya'.

His son Vijaya Chiranjeevi is taking up the lead role and this is his first film.
Keerthi Chawla is pairing with him and the main subject of the movie is that the hero will kiss the heroine who used to be talkative.

Keerthi is highly experienced in being kissed whereas Vijaya Chiranjeevi is quite shy to give a kiss to the girl as his father was standing nearby.

Vijay kissed Keerthi, but the director took re-shot for about 11 times and after giving away the 11th kiss Vijay fainted.

'Soda' was splashed on his face and after coming back to normal Vijay felt shy to look at the face of Keerthi whereas Keerthi stood firm as if nothing has happened.

M.Night Syamalan's Next Film - The Happening

Planet earth takes revenge in Shyamalan's next

For all the ways human beings have exploited the earth, the planet will take its revenge in Hollywood director Manoj Night Shyamalan’s next movie.Titled ‘The Happening’, the movie will be made under the production house 20th Century Fox.

Reports have it that Shyamalan will co-produce the film with Sam Mercer and Barry Mendel. The team has previously produced Shyamalan’s Oscar-nominated ‘The Sixth Sense’, ‘Unbreakable’, ‘Signs’, ‘The Village’ and ‘Lady in the Water’.According to the reports, ‘The Happening’ is about a family on the run from a natural crisis that presents a large-scale threat to humanity.At the centre of the movie’s story will be a husband-wife and their kid.The movie's budget is expected to be around $57 million. It is likely to be shot in Philadelphia.

‘The Happening’ is slated to release in August 2008.Shyamalan’s career has been on the downslide of late. His last movie ‘Lady in the Water’ was labeled one of the worst films in America last year.

All the very best MNS

I will be kissed only by John Abraham

Bipasha Basu, who looted the hearts and souls of Tamil fans by her glamorous appearance in the movie Sachin, says she will not give French kiss to any other man in this universe other than John who is her boy friend.

When she was approached by the producers and directors to act in a movie which had scene of kissing, she refused to accept the offer. She says "Even though kissing is a good, I decided a year back that I will not kiss any other guy other than John."

Dhanush, Nayantara come together

The debutant director Jawahar who has worked as Selvaraghavan's assistant, will be directing Dhanush and Nayantara in his first film.

Seems like father-in-law and son-in-law end up with the same heroines one way or the other because Nayantara played Rajini's sweetheart in Chandramukhi and all of us know about Shriya having acted with both of them too. Dhanush's much awaited film Parattai Engira Azhagu Sundaram is all set for release in May. Meanwhile, the shooting for Dhanush's Polladhavan had commenced a few days ago in Chennai.

Make Money by surfing and stay online

JOIN NOW

I recently joined AGLOCO because of a friend recommended it to me. I am now promoting it to you because I like the idea and I want you to share in what I think will be an exciting new Internet concept.

AGLOCO’s story is simple:

Do you realize how valuable you are? Advertisers, search providers and online retailers are paying billions to reach you while you surf. How much of that money are you making? NONE!

AGLOCO thinks you deserve a piece of the action.

AGLOCO collects money from those companies on behalf of its members. (For example, Google currently pays AOL 10 cents for every Google search by an AOL user. And Google still has enough profit to pay $1.6 billion dollars for YouTube, an 18-month old site full of content that YouTube’s users did not get paid for!

AGLOCO will work to get its Members their share of this and more.

AGLOCO is building a new form of online community that they call an Economic Network. They are not only paying Members their fair share, but they’re building a community that will generate the kind of fortune that YouTube made. But instead of that wealth making only a few people rich, the entire community will get its share.

What's the catch? No catch - no spyware, no pop-ups and no spam - membership and software are free and AGLOCO is 100% member owned. Privacy is a core value and AGLOCO never sells or rents member information.
So do both of us a favor: Sign up for AGLOCO right now! If you use this link to sign up, I automatically get credit for referring you and helping to build AGLOCO.

SUPER STAR OF TOMORROW

Ilayathalapthy Vijay is next super star. K.Balachander already mention in of the cine function that Vijay is waiting super star. But so far nothing is comes from Rajini site. Though he has some of Rajini's quality to entertain audience with his comedy , dance , style and acting but only time will decide that. Infact I am Vijay's fan too.......In my opinion Vijay need to work with top director of cos Ace Director Mani Ratnam and Techyman Shankar to proof that he is good actor.

Watch this video from youtube.

Thaamirabharani

Director:
Hari

Artists:
Vishal, Banu, Prabhu, Nadiya

On a flashback mode for the most part, `Thaamirabharani' is the story of Bharani (Vishal) whose regard for his uncle Saravanan (Prabhu) and love for his family is so great that he will not brook the slightest insult to them. And as his family is always at loggerheads with another wealthy home, headed by Vijayakumar, peace and tranquillity seem impossible. Murder and mayhem result in incarceration for Bharani. Actually `Thaamira ... ' opens with the villagers waiting for Bharani who is returning from prison after four years in prison.

Hari has a few interesting twists and suspenseful sequences in the narration. The story is not new but it is gripping. However, as the violence Vishal wreaks out on others is unacceptable by any standard, and his insensitivity towards the heroine (Banu) that brings public disrepute to her annoys you, his remorse doesn't make much impact. Kanja Karuppu's comedy track only slows the pace. No humour there.

Sprightly and cheerful or serious and emotional Vishal's acting skills are surely improving. Action comes easily to Vishal but it's time he moves on and begins to think beyond sickles, guns and fisticuffs. A picture of dignity throughout, Prabhu sparkles. His eyes and body language are those of a seasoned performer. Another plump heroine finds her way into Tamil filmdom. Banu has an expressive face and shines in the heavy scenes. But exposure shouldn't be her line, till she sheds the flab. Nadiya comes back looking trim, prim and proper, and her versatility glows. Her role of a rich, uppity woman has no novelty, yet she emerges unscathed.

The high decibel level of actors such as Vijayakumar, and the noisy re-recording (Why so Yuvan?) are deterrents of `Thamirabharani.' Also why `compose' a duet on the lines of L. R. Easwari's popular bhakti refrain `Karpoora Nayakiyae'? Yuvan Shankar Raja disappoints. Na. Muthukumar's lyric capability stands out in the `Vaartha Onnu' number.

The co-ordinated movements of dancers for group songs stand testimony to the choreographers' (Kalyan? Dinesh? Shobi?) imagination. Both camera (Priyan) and art (Kadhir) deserve special mention. So does V.T. Vijayan's editing.

Vishal's heroism pales into insignificance, when he bashes up people both with and without reason.

The opening scene, where he chases a train and nearly kills half a dozen men in the bargain, all because they dared to raise their voices against his uncle, is a classic case of storm in a teacup! Even for a hot-headed person it's bit too much.

Vadivelu as Spiderman

Spiderman is a heroic character and always be very serious fighting against evils and villains. Spiderman used to be very helping nature and will be present wherever there need a help.

Spiderman is a super power with lots of unique features built in him making him different from other humans.

Vadivelu has taken so many characters, now he will appear like a Spiderman. This Vadivelu Spiderman will be doing only comedy. No extra powers, only similar dress, no fight.

Vadivelu has taken this role for the movie Viyapaari. Viyapaari, even though it has three girls showing their body almost fully to the extent of vulgarity, now tries to change its image and highlight comedy theme, will issue tickets having Spiderman sticker in it.

SJ Surya Gatal

It was told that S J Surya touched Malavika's private parts during shooting of the song 'Kosu kadiuthu' for the movie Viyapaari.

'During the shooting at a bungalow on the East Coast road, S J Surya misbehaved with Malavika by touching her private areas while performing dance movements. As Malavika used very harsh language against Surya, Surya apologized for his behavior and the shooting was finished with different dance movements' This news is false claims of the cine technician who claims he was present during the shooting.

Another one says 'Nothing of this sort ever happened, and its a regular strategy which Malavika adopts to be present in the news always'.
When Malavika was contacted she refused to give details. S J Surya refuses this news.
