Nadiya steps into Aamir's shoes

One of the most acclaimed 'Taare Zameen Par', which sensitized millions, had Aamir Khan in the role of a teacher who identifies an eight year old boy as dyslexic and helps him to emerge out of the challenging defect. The similar role of an understanding teacher will be played by the yesteryear beauty Nadiya in an upcoming movie titled as 'Pattalam'.

Nadiya features as school correspondent cum psychiatrist in this movie which is produced by director Lingusamy's production house 'Thirupati Brothers'.

Rohan Krishna, a film institute student makes his directorial debut through this film. He was a former assistant to Rajiv Menon and Santosh Sivan and also has won a national award for a short film titled 'Paramapadham'.

The film revolves around the school students, played by new comers and has strong, emotional values, which impressed Nadiya very much and made her act in the movie as she is very selective about her projects these days.

Priyamani pitted against Madhavan

National award winning actress Priyamani will play Madhavan's ladylove in Thangar Bachchan's forthcoming film.

To be produced by Ayngaran Internationals, the movie brings together Sathyaraj, Madhavan and Priyamani for the first time. The actress, who won the National award for best actress for her performance in 'Paruthi veeran', is currently acting in a movie made by veteran director Mani Ratnam. Up on completion, she would act in Thangar's film.

Interestingly, Madhavan plays Sathyaraj's son in the film. Sathyaraj and Thangar had earlier teamed up with Sathyaraj in 'Onbathu Roopai Nottu'.

Who's running the race on Deepavali?

With just a few days to reach Deepavali, it is still not clear as to which movies would hit the screens on the festive day and which are the movies that would step aside from the race.

Ajith starrer ‘Aega’n and director Hari's ‘Seval’ are sure to be on the tracks for the festival. Aegan directed by Raju Sundaram, features Ajith and Nayantara in the lead roles. A remake of Shahrukh starrer ‘Main Hoon Na’, it has musical score by Yuvanshankar Raja.

Seval brings together Bharath, Poonam Bajwa and Simran. Directed by Hari, the movie has music by G V Prakash. A racy entertainer, quite typical of Hari, expectations are high on the film.

Guru En Aalu starring Madhavan, Mamta Mohandoss and Abbas is keen to run the race. A remake of Shahrukh's Yess Boss, the movie is directed by Selvah and produced by KRG. Having been censored, it looks certain that ‘Guru En Aalu’ too would be ready to entertain the audience.

All eyes are now on Goutham menon's ‘Varanam Aayiram’. Starring Surya in a dual role, the anticipated extravaganza is being produced by Aascar Ravochandran. Sharing screen space with Surya are Simran, Divya Spandhana and Samira Reddy. Music is by Harris Jeyaraj. Though sources close to the production house expressed confidence that the movie would hit the screens on Deepavali, a section of the industry men expressed apprehensions on its fate.

Last but not least, Samida, a movie made by an all new cast and crew is on a high confidence level and is ready to run the race with biggies.

Tamil tution for 'Marma Yogi' cast

'Marma Yogi' started off with a photo shoot at the AVM Studios in Chennai recently and Kamal Haasan, Trisha, Shriya and Hema Malini were part of it. All actors looked ravishing at the photo shoot especially because of a new form of make-up that was used. Called Spray Make-Up, this is probably the first time it is used for an Indian film.

The results were there to see as both Trisha and Shriya glowed with radiance and charm. Kamal Haasan, who has written the script, will also be directing the film. Touted to be the costliest film to ever come from India the film will be shot using the most modern Red Camera. A cinematographer and a team of make-up artists from Hollywood are expected to be part of the film.

Interestingly, some prominent actors of the film who would dub for themselves like Trisha will be trained to speak in chaste Tamil as was spoken centuries ago. Trisha has been provided with a trainer who has started coaching her in Senthamizh. Looks like the perfectionist in Kamal Haasan does not want to leave any stone unturned.

Kamal's 'Marmayogi' casts a quartet of heroines

Next to Kamal Haasan's dream project 'Dasavatham', the magnum opus 'Marmayogi' has already made it to the news stirring expectations that it will be nothing short of incredible.

Latest buzz is a new technique of spray makeup is being used in this film. An accolade is that this is first ever happening in the history of Indian Cinema. The latest news is about the heroines of this film.

Acquainted news is that Trisha has already been roped in to play the heroine. Shriya Saran has also rendered her consent to appear alongside Trisha in another lead role. Now it is learnt that there will be 4-heroines in this film. Along with the newbies, the yester year's dream-girl Hemamalini and popular actress Shobana are proposed to share screen space along with the other two actresses.

Further, they will be cast in the sequences featuring 8th century incidents. Another scoop is some of the sequences is to be shot near Sivasamudram waterfall, in Mandya District of Karnataka, and few others at various exquisite locales.

Mumaith Khan in 'Marma Yogi'

Mumaith Khan, who shot to fame playing item numbers in a slew of Tamil films in the recent past, is the latest addition to the ‘Marma Yogi’ team.

The movie enacted and directed by Kamal Haasan, features Trisha and Shriya in prominent roles. Buzz is that Venkatesh and Hemamalini have been roped in for special roles. With music by AR Rahman, the period film is all set to go to floors very soon.

Latest news says Mumaith Khan has been roped in for a special role. Sources close to Kamal Haasan indicate, “Mumaith Khan would be playing a negative role in the film. Her role will have some grey shades.”

Rajini's fans make a move

After painting Coimbatore red with wall-posters heralding the entry of actor Rajinikanth into politics, his fans in Kovai on Monday launched a political party in an attempt 'to put pressure' on the 'Superstar' to take the political plunge.

Announcing the party's name as Desiya Dravidar Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (DDMMK), they also released the party flag in red, white and black - featuring Rajini's face inside a shining star.

About the new outfit and flag, Rajni Babu, who is a councillor in Madukkarai says that the party had been launched only to impose pressure on their hero to foray politics. We have made this flag and outfit to represent ourselves in the world of politics and wish our leader to make his announcement soon.

Sources close to the actor said, “Rajini was scheduled to discuss the issue of entering politics and starting a party with his fans from 12th to 18th October.”

The meeting will take place amid expectations by his fans that he will follow the footsteps of Chiranjeevi, says one of his close friends.

Destination Alps for Ajith

Now that the entire talkie portion and four other songs of the film have been completed, the cast and crew of Ajith starrer 'Aegan', will leave for the Swiss Alps to shoot one more song.

According to reports, the unit is planning to leave Chennai on Monday and will return in a week's time.

Raju Sundaram, the director of the movie himself will be choreographing this soft romantic melody tuned by Yuvan Shankar Raja. 'Aegan' is being produced by Ayngaran International.

It may be recalled that Ajith and Asin had been to Alps last year to shoot a song for 'Azhwar'. The movie directed by Chella had a song shot in the snow capped Alps.

Mani Ratnam’s Production no: 11

It’s well-known that Mani Ratnam directs a bilingual flick in Hindi and Tamil for his production house Madras talkies, which has its storyline based on the epic Ramayana. The film started rolling and the shoot progresses in the dense forests of Chalakudi. Abhishek would join the crew for the shoot by tomorrow, October 5th whereas Aishwarya would come to Chalakudi on October 8th.

Maniratnam titled his movie as ‘Ashokavanam’ for its Tamil version and ‘Ravana’ for its Hindi version. But now the Tamil title has been in mess as the name has been already registered in the film chamber by another popular director who would introduce his son to the filmdom through the film titled same as ‘Ashokavanam’.

However, the closer sources reveal that the ace director would finalize and announce the title of the film once the first schedule of the shoot gets completed and till then the film would be denoted as ‘Production no:11”.

Ajith nears his half-century

Close on the heels of actor Vijay nearing his 50th film, actor Ajith too has joined him in the race. 'Aegan' starring Ajith, is his 48th film (directed by choreographer Raju Sundaram) which is ready for release on Deepaavali. His next would be directed by Gautham Menon for Sivaji Productions. All eyes are now focussed on who would direct Ajith for his 50th film.

Interestingly Vijay's 48th film is 'Villu' and is directed by Prabhudeva. His next would be 'Vettaikaran' followed by his 50th film to be produced by his father S A Chandrasekharan. The director is still to be finalised.

The fact that two popular heroes of Tamil cinema nearing their 50th film is a moment to cherish for their fans.

Remya Nambeesan From Kerala with a mission

Remya Nambeesan has emerged a name to reckon with in Tamil cinema thanks to the success of 'Raman Thediya Seethai'. The young girl from Malluwood, has played a prominent role alongside actor-director Cheran in 'Raman Thediya Seethai'.

With her girl-next-door-looks, she has won the critical appreciation for her performance in Raman Thediya Seethai. Now the girl is confident that she can make it big in Tamil cinema too.

Says Remya, 'I played a meaty role in 'Raman Thediya Seethai'. I had the fortune of coming in two different get-ups – a trendy ultra-modern woman and a poor house wife.'

She is currently paired opposite Sakthi (son of director P Vasu) for a movie titled 'Aatta Nayakan'. Unlike Raman Thediya Seethai, it is a commercial film, I play a bubbly young girl in it, she says with glee.

The movie went to floors recently. 'I have many offers coming my way and hopefully I would make it public very soon', she adds.

Ajith is a don now

Grapevine is abuzz with rumours that Ajith would play a don in his forthcoming venture to be directed by Goutham Menon.

The shooting of this film will start on 1 November. Ajith has been impressed a lot with Goutham Menon's script with a difference from others.

The film is about a middle class youth who becomes a dreaded don in the world, while Sameera Reddy will plays his ladylove. The film will have music by Harris Jayaraj, and camera is by Ajith's favourite Nirav Shah, who cranked the camera for 'Billa', will handle cinematography.

The movie is produced by Sivaji Productions.
