It’s been a while we heard some news from the Mankatha camp. Actress Anjali who played ‘Angari Theru’ lead joined the team at Mankatha. The reason cited for this new inclusion is that Dhayanidhi Azhagiri who produced ‘Thoonga Nagaram’ is taking up production duties for Mankatha too and hence the choice for Anjali.

The lady really enjoyed her experience and is excited to join the team, as she was quoted saying, “It was a wonderful experience .I am really blessed to be a part of the team and such a special offering by Ajith.”

Others in the list include opposite lead Trisha, Action hero Arjun, Lakshmi Rai, Premji Amaren and Vaibhav playing important roles.

Ajith fans bother Simbu to sign 3 Idiots remake!

Ajith fans bother Simbu to sign 3 Idiots remake!

August 4, 2010

The news about Silambarasan playing the role of Sharman Joshi in both Tamil and Telugu remakes of 3 Idiots happened to be the sensational headlines for past couple of days.

But now, it’s literally disappointing to hear Simbu saying that he hasn’t decided about signing this project. Recently, the actor was present for an interactive session with students of journalism and threw some lights on present trend of films and changing mindsets of audiences.

When asked about his decision over signing 3 Idiots remake, the young actor replied that he would love working with actor Vijay, but fans of Ajith Kumar may have some resentments. Very often, Silambarasan used to quote Ajith Kumar as his inspiring role model and the duo shares a great friendship.

Since, there happens to be a sort of clashes between the fans of Vijay and Ajith Kumar in Tamil Nadu, Silambarasan has seemingly made a smart move by staying out of trouble.

Now with both Maddy and Simbu refusing the offers, Shankar must be wriggling his head over signing some efficient actors, who’ll be more apt than these ones for the lead roles. (OI)

February 22, 2010

These days, it’s all about Ajith Kumar across the nook and corners of every town as he dominates media space thanks to his fiery nature. His recent release Asal witnessing good results at box office, stunning speech at CM felicitation ceremony and participation in MRF Race has eventually turned the public glare on him.

Recently, when a media channel questioned Ajith Kumar about his speech at CM function, he said, “I never intended to hurt anyone’s feelings. Actually others must understand the feelings of each and every actor as their profession is as tougher as other jobs. Even they have personal issues and other things to focus on. But these people don’t understand it and keep threatening us to take part in social and political issues much before Government would take its decisions.”

Adding more, Ajith continued, “Freedom means a lot to me and when certain things turns to be a hurdle, I am ready to throw them off. Similarly, if any such things pop up in my career, I am ready to quit even films.” (OI)

February 22, 2010

Cute demure girls are turning sexy and glamourous overnight, ready to take the tinsel town by storm. Bhavana who has been struck with the girl-next-door image in Tamil tried to turn glamourous with Ajith’s Aasal

She appointed a stylist and tried to re-invent her image to keep up with the changing trends. The pretty young girl also send her glamorous stills to production houses, through her manager.

The actress thought that her role in Aasal will turn out to be a big hit. She had told friends that her mass songs in the film will make her hot and happening. However unfortunately, the film failed to live up to its hype and Bhavana ended up with egg on her face.

And now, she has sacked Ajayan, her manager on the ground that he has no Raasi (luck). Our sympathies are with the poor guy who was responsible for bringing her from Trissur and introducing her into Tollywood via Kollywood. (CHIFLI)
