The sexy and beautiful Kylie Minogue arrives in Mumbai next month to record a song for the movie Blue to be recorded by AR Rahman.
She'll be pocketing a cool $1 million for recording the song. How nice if I was able to do that but then I can't say much about my vocals.
Kylie was not Rahman’s first choice. Among the contenders for the spot, were Madonna and Rihanna. Madonna declined because she was going through a bitter divorce and Rihanna's asking price was too much.
About The Movie
Reputed to be Bollywood's most expensive movie with a budget of $28million, it stars Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Zayed Khan, Lara Dutta and Katrina Kaif.
According to debutant director Anthony D’ Souza, this movie was inspired by Hollywood's The Deep and Jaws.
The Plot
It's about 3 friends who set out to find a lost treasure guarded by sharks. Just to pump up the action , they are using 40 REAL untrained sharks.
Let's see how it fares at the box-office once it's released.
A typical rags to riches story, an unknown by the name of Sivaji Rao who worked as a bus ticket collector in Banglore was discovered by K.Balachander and was renamed Rajinikanth.
His way of acting which consisted of stunts,body language,dialogue attracted the masses so much so that whenever he appeared on screen , audiences screamed in delight.
This raised his star status from 'Style Mannan' to 'Superstar'. No performer has achieved such an iconic status in the industry.All Rajni films ran to packed houses, his film releases were celebrated as major events, his cutouts were showered with milk and honey and adorned with hefty flower garlands.
In spite of of his Superstar status, Rajini remained a humble and never let stardom go to his head. He remained approachable to his fans while encouraging them to think and do good for themselves. He became a mentor and continues to do so. Such is his quality.
Actors who are stars in other languages have high regards of him. So powerful is his appeal, that any comments or statements he makes has a profound influence on the governments in the state.
Rajni's family has always been shielded from all the glitz and glamour. Rajni's elder daughter Aishwarya is married to Dhanush, another hero in Kollywood; the couple have a one-year-old son named Yatra. His second daughter Soundarya is into graphics and designing. She has set up her own company Ocher Studios in Chennai. Soundarya's very first project is an animation movie, Sultan featuring the Superstar in as an animation.
Kuselan being his most recent movie,had a very good response, proves that he still is the reigning king of Tamil cinema. Next on the cards is Endhiran with Aishwarya Rai.
Let's hope he's got much more to give us .
God Bless You Thalaiva !
Lead actor Jeyam Ravi will be rubbing shoulders with Roland Kickinger who played the role of a killing machine in Terminator Salvation - The Future Begins. He has taken a villain role in the movie. He was quite excited about the fact that the shooting was done in the dense forests of Kerala because of the lush greenery.
The story is about a forest officer played by Jeyam Ravi who fights for the rights of the tribes people. It's been said Jayam Ravi has gone through rigorous training in the areas of archery,shooting , fencing and martial arts, for this movie.
There'll be 5 heroines for this movie. They are Tanshika, Saranya, Vasundhara, Liyasri and Varsha. So they will be adding the sparkle to the movie. Jananathan, who gave us the award winning Iyarkai and the futuristic Ee, is the director of this movie.
I enjoy watching Jeyam Ravi's movies because of his active personality during acting which also gives credence to the movies he's in.
Let's see how it fares at the box office.
The credit crisis has found it's way into Bollywood. Well not in the the way you expect it but reflected in a movie called Equated Monthly Installment or "EMI" for short. A comedy flick about different characters indulge in the wants. Their lives are affected by one common problem, that of, accumulated debts which they are unable to pay and how they eventually overcome it.
Saurabh Kabra will be directing the movie which stars Sanjay Dutt, Urmila Matondkar and Arjun Rampal. The release of the movie has been slated for release later this month.
For those who are in this predicament could probably get a few pointers from this movie. Who knows it could be a life changing moment !
Slated for Deepavali release, said to be fast paced movie,'Aegan' which sees Ajith as a rough and tough cop who'll make sure he completes the task given to him. The bearded Ajith will pair up with Nayantara in this flick.
Raju Sundaram who is directing the movie, said there will be the important ingredients in any tamil movie which is romance, humour and great stunts scenes.
One special thing about this movie is one of the stunt scenes will be choreographed by Jackie Chan's stunt choreographer. Shooting locations for the movie were in England, New Zealand and Australia. ‘Aegan’ is the first Tamil movie to be shot from Hong Kong.
The star cast includes Sriman,‘Arinthum Ariyamalum’ fame Navdeep, Suhasini Mani Rathnam,Nasser,M.S. Bhaskar,Jayaram and Suman.
Said to be a big budget movie, the producers are Ayangaran Karuna Murthy and Arun Pandiyan.
Yuvan Shankar Raja the music director for the movie.
So can Ajith score success once again like he did with 'Billa' ? Let's wait and see....
Check out http://keyarsrini.wordpress.com/2008/10/23/ajiths-aegan-posters-in-usa-its-rocking/ to see Ajith's 'Aegan' posters in US. They are really huge & rocking.
Came across this video. Found it entertaining with famous Bollywood stars. Make sure your speakers are on for this.
The resulting video is a collaboration between Desihits.com and American pop sensation Sean Kingston based on his hit song ‘Beautiful Girls’. How this video came about is desihits.com launched a remix competition called "Bollywood Girls Remix Competition" which was won by DJ Suketu.
Four other producers who also took part were Tigerstyle, Nikhil Chinapa & DJ Nawed, and The Bilz.
All these guys are actually known to be the world's top desi producers.
As for Sean the actresses' which bowled him over with their looks, he mentioned in the lyrics were Malaika , Preity Zinta, Aishwarya, sisters Kareena & Karisma, Deepika, Shilpa, Madhuri, Priyanka and Bipasha.
Looks like Sean's going to be having ties with Bollywood for a long while. Heard he'll be working on other projects.
As for the music, Pritam who did the music for the Hindi version, will also do it again for the Tamil version. As the music was beautiful in the original version, hopefully he'll be able to make it sound as sweet as the the original version.
Tamil movies are known to have a fighting scene in most of it's movies, but in JAB WE MET there was no such scenes. This is was in line with the plot of the story which is a fun-filled and pleasing love story. So let's hope the director will also do it with this movie.
Shooting is expected to begin in January as both Bharath and Thamannah are on tight schedules currently.
I enjoyed watching JAB WE MET so I'm hoping that'll I'll also enjoy the Tamil version.
It's been quite sometime since i last saw Jyothika in the movies. I miss her acting because as compared to other heroines, she has been able to hold out on her own in her acting sometimes outshining the heros in her films. To me she outshone herself in "Chandramuki" by portraying dual personality character. The other was the villain role she portrayed in "Pachaikili Muthucharam. Many was her roles but she managed to bring a breath of fresh air into her acting.
Well I read in a magazine that Surya has no objections to her acting because she has nursed their child for sometime now and he feels that it would be okay if she wants to get back to acting.
Hoping to see her soon on the screen. Good luck Jo !
Last night I watched a movie called Taare Zameen Par with Aamir Khan in the lead role. Some smsed me to watch the movie and I did. It really brought tears to my eyes. The determination of a teacher in bringing about the artistic talent in the boy and also overcoming the child's disability, in this case recognizing alphabets was simply superb.
What I learnt from this is movie is 2 things :
- all of us are able to overcome our difficulties whether physically or mentally
- think & contribute towards the less privileged
I checked out the movie it deserves the awards the movie got.
Go check it out.
Hi to all the fans out there. As a fan of the movies, i've decided to start a blog and share with fans on gossips on what the stars are doing or rather not doing. Hoping you guyz & girlz will also update little me on the industry.
Ciao !
