Kamal Hassan's Next Movie
Putting an end to a guessing game whether he would act or not in Mysskin’s direction, Kamal Haasan said on Sunday that the “historical movie” would go on floors soon.
Speaking on the sidelines of the audio launch of his forthcoming film ‘Unnaipol Oruvan’, the versatile actor however said a film in his direction would be his next venture as Mysskin’s movie required research work, which would take some time.
“I would direct my mentor K Balachandar for my next movie. I am also penning the script and screenplay for it. It will go on floors before this year-end,” he said. On Mysskin’s film, he said, ‘the works are on for it. Since it involves some extensive research, we propose to start it after my movie with KB”.
Heaping laurels on his daughter Shruthi Haasan, who has composed music for ‘Unnaipol Oruvan’, Kamal said, “I am happy and satisfied as both producer and father. I was like any other anxious dad waiting to listen to his daughter's creation. She qualified herself well before taking a plunge into the field and Shruthi has given songs that are really good”.
Urging Tamil film industry to utilise technology properly, Kamal said, “Technology has grown leaps and bounds. Tamil film industry should utilise it. Not just in film-making, but also in other areas like marketing and distribution”.

Harris Jayaraj's Interview
Tell us the experiences while working with A R Rahman?
I was a key board player to most of the music composers. I had worked for a lot of films with Telugu music composer Raj
Kotti. During the day time I used to work with Raj Kotti and in the night from 9 PM to early morning hours I used to work
with Rahman. This was a good experience. I have not worked with Ilayaraja. I have met and spoke to him once. I have worked
with his son Karthik Raja.
What are your favourite songs of other music composers?
There are a lot of songs. But my all time favourite is Ilayaraja’s Madai Thirandhu and Rahman’s Netru Illadha Matram.
Is there any chance for you to work with Gowtham Menon?
You get angry with a person whom you love very much. Only on that basis is this gap. Only time and God should answer of me
working with Gowtham Menon.
What have you to say about your continuous successes?
If you think of successes you cannot work and if you think of failures then you will become frustrated. So I don’t think of
both and begin everyday as a new person.
Kamal Haasan’s Interview
On the eve of the audio release of Unnai Pol Oruvan Kamal Haasan interacted with the media.
What changes have you made for this film?
In America there is only one culture. If you go to any State in America you can see the same culture. But in India it varies from one State to another State. But terrorism is there in every side. We have conveniently forgotten this. I have changed the dialogues in this film.
But there were vulgar dialogues in the original film?
I don’t understand this. Tell me what is vulgar. A writer has freedom but whereas a film person does not have freedom. Cinema is a species which is catching our foot hold. What freedom does it have? Our Censor Act came into force in 1957. I was three years old then. Now so many changes have come in the cinema. Film technology is also advancing. But what changes has been made in the Censor rules. There are so many matters in our Tamil literatures like Virali Vidum Thothu and Thanjai Vaanan Kovai. I have no freedom to speak about all these in cinema. We have to change the Censor rules and regulations.
In Tamil films there will be romance and action. But this film does not have these elements?
I have tried to do something different in this film. I was the one who made a film without dialogues. I have tried one step ahead in this film. Even if you take my film Nayagan, the romantic portion was very less. When you try something different you have to change certain things. There are stunt scenes in this film. But it will be pragmatic.
You have used Red One camera in this film?
Yes. The future is digital. Whenever a new thing happens I want to take it to the people. I want to simplify cinema. You should not sideline or get scared of new technology. It is good that everyone should walk towards it.
What about your daughter Shruthi?
She has composed the music for this film. I did not give her 90% of the freedom which was given to me when I was young. Now I am proud about the way she has come up. When I told her that she has to compose music for this film, she came up with 2 songs that evening itself. I asked her when we can start the recording, she said right now. I asked her who is going to sing, she said that she had already decided that it was me. She has done a wonderful job for this film.
What about you being in cinema for 50 years?
Even if I did very few films in 50 years or didn’t do any films at all, it would have been 50 years since I came into films. So the credit of my 50 years in cinema should go to my producers, director and above all people who accepted me as an actor.
Are you going to do a historical film with Mysskin?
Don’t say historical film. Some historians may come up and ask this has happened only on Friday and why it has been mentioned as Saturday. I am acting in a story which happened in history. Mysskin has requested some time to prepare the script.
Paaraseega Roja
Vishal is nowadays too busy romancing three hotties at a time for ‘Theeradha Vilaiyattu Pillai’. Produced by Vishal’s GK Corporation, the film is directed by Thiru, who assisted A. Rajasekhar in ‘Sathyam’. Neetu Chandra, Tanushree Dutta and Sarah Jane Dias are ready to rock the floor with our choco-man Vishal.
Earlier we had it in the news that Vishal will be doing his next two movies with big directors. It was also said that the hero will be doing a movie titled ‘Paaraseega Roja’ with Cheran. Know who is the other big director? It’s our Prabhudeva!
This untitled flick will be produced by Ramesh Babu who had earlier produced Prabhudeva’s ‘Pokkiri’. Looks like Prabhudeva will start working on this one with Vishal as soon as he finishes Thangar Bachan’s ‘Kalavadiya Pozhuthugal’ with Bhoomika opposite him.
Wonder what kinda merry go round is waiting for us…
Naan Mahaan Alla
Well, don’t go by the title! But the pair is going to do a movie that has taken title from the Superstar’s one-time hit ‘Naan Mahaan Alla’ that will start from the month of September.
Besides ‘Paiya’ and ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’, ‘Paruthiveeran’ Karthi has added to his portfolio with this movie. After a famous hit with ‘Magadheera’ but with a miss ‘Modhi Vilaiyadu’, Kajal Agarwal is all-set to take on this venture. The shooting spots include our own Chennaipattinam along with Hyderabad and Vizakapatanam.
‘Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu’ famed Suseendran is handling the direction while K E Gnanavel Raja undertakes the productions under Studio Green. Yuvan Shankar Raja will score the music, Madhi would be at the Camera and Rajeevan will do the Art Direction.
The producer stated to sources that the film is fast-paced with lots of action and romance. It’s a solid script written by Suseendran, and Karthi will surely rock in the film.
Well, we really hope it does! Get going team!

Mallika Sherawat says Yes 2 sex, No 2 kiss!
“I Mind It, I say” – That must be Mallika’s reaction when she was asked to kiss in Hisss by filmmaker Jennifer Lynch. TV channels better buck up for you have got your ‘Breaking News’ in the form of Mallika Sherawat’s yet another ‘hilarious comment’ on a social networking site.
The actress, who didn’t shy away from locking lips with Emraan Hashmi in Murder or even Khwahish, apparently expressed discomfort over doing the same in her forthcoming film Hisss.
Mallika who plays a sexy snake in Hisss recently confessed how she has done nude and intimate scenes in the film but hasn’t kissed! “As a snake I don’t kiss in Hisss, but I lick quite a bit. I swallow whole. I’m naked in some scenes. Hisss will make eyeballs pop out,” revealed Mallika uninhibitedly on the site!
Co-star Irrfan Khan told us, “Hisss is scary, mysterious, exciting, violent, gory. It has nudity in it but the censor board needs to mature before they put their hands on the film as the subject required what has been portrayed by the director.”
We wonder why Mallika said no to kiss in Hisss when she was fine with everything else… We mean after all that’s her forte and given her track record at the box office, isn’t this the wrong time to let go of her USP?

Mani Ratnam promotes Vikram for Hindi
Media hype is now and before the most vital thing in promoting a film or a star. Mani Ratnam’s ‘Ravana’ is one such film that has been on the headlines for quite some time now for both lucky and unlucky reasons unintentionally.
But now the director has worked on a perfect plan to launch his hero Vikram the right way in Bollywood. Vikram plays an important role in both Tamil and Hindi versions of the film.
According to the sources, Mani Ratnam has worked to highlight only Vikram’s character for the first trailer. It looks like the trailer is perfectly dyed-in-the-wool to show who Vikram is for the Bolly-world.
The filmmaker is known to create the best hype for almost all his heroes, for all good reasons. Let’s wait to see what lies beneath this publicity now!
