Ajith-Vishnuvardhan project to start soon!

2011-12-09T01:18:00.002-08:00

Here is some great news for all 'Thala' fans and those who love to watch don flicks. There is some confirmed news going around K-town that Ajith will star in his 52nd film will be directed by his good friend Vishnuvardhan, post 'Billa 2'!

Vishnu is currently awaiting the release of his current Telugu project titled 'Panjaa' which sees Pawan Kalyan playing the lead. While there were a lot of rumors floating around regarding which film Ajith will choose to work in next, Vishnuvardhan has confirmed with a message on his microblogging page that he will work with 'Thala' once his Telugu film 'Panjaa' releases.

This Vishnuvardhan-Ajith venture will be produced by AM Ratnam. This film too will see Ajith playing a don and it will be the remake of Vishnu's Telugu Panjaa, say some reports but we can't be sure of this.

After completing his 'Panjaa' remake, 'Thala' will begin work on his 53rd film which will be for Vijaya Productions with director Shiva calling the shots.

Venkat Prabhu: I am overwhelmed, working on buddy cop genre

2011-12-09T01:18:00.000-08:00

It's a super success for Venkat Prabhu today, his 'Mankatha' has seen a successful 100 day run at the box office.

'Mankatha' also marks the 50th film of Thala Ajith and the expectations were sky rocketing on this film even as it went on floors and the weightage on Venkat Prabhu was high from day 1 but he has satisfied Thala fans and movie goers with this movie and has managed to deliver a sleekly packed entertainer.

Speaking to IG, Venkat Prabhu says, "I am very, very happy that the film is still running in many suburbs. I am only happier that I was able to live up to the expectations from Thala fans, in fact we didn't have too much ads or any promo activity, but the film turned out to be a promo for itself, wishes are still pouring in from Thala fans".

In fact, all his four offerings, 'Chennai 28', 'Saroja', 'Goa' and now 'Mankatha' have seen a 100 day run at the BO!

So what was the reaction from Thala? "He messaged and wished me and I also sent him wishes via a SMS, since he is in Georgia for Billa 2 shoot. After he comes back we'll meet him".

On his next project Venkat says, "I have signed a bilingual with Studio Green, I am still penning the script. After penning the script I will narrate it to Suriya who is currently busy with Maatraan. It's a double hero project. It will be a buddy cop film loaded with action and comedy". He will narrate it to Ravi Teja as well after penning the script.

Buddy cop films are usually plots where two men of different preferences are forced to work together to solve a crime case. Popular examples are 'Bad Boys' and 'Rush Hour'.

After delivering a super action entertainer with Thala, it looks like Venkat Prabhu wants to do something even more different with his next venture...

Android 4.0 update to come in April 2012

2011-11-04T17:59:00.000-07:00

Another major manufacturer to confirm the update is Sony Ericsson, which in a reply to 'The Inquirer' said: "Sony Ericsson is currently rolling out the upgrade to Android Gingerbread 2.3.4 across its entire 2011 Xperia smartphone portfolio. This software upgrade will be available through a phased roll out in select markets. Beyond Gingerbread 2.3.4, we plan to upgrade our 2011 Xperia smartphone portfolio to the next Android platform made available to us."

The recently announced Google Android 4.0 or Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) will be available only after six months from now on, according to reports. However, the first device with the new OS will be the Samsung Nexus Prime which will hit the markets as soon as December this year.

While Android 4.0, which is designed for both smartphones and tablets, will bring several new features including better NFC support, voice recognition, and ability to take screenshots.

As reports point out, the updates will arrive by 2nd quarter (beginning April) of 2012 and it is again going to be Samsung devices which will get these updates first. The official word from Samsung is that the six devices to get the update first will be Galaxy S II, Galaxy Note, Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, Galaxy Tab 7.7, Galaxy Tab 8.9 and Galaxy Tab 10.1 and all of these devices except Galaxy Note (which is coming to India on 2nd November) are already available in India.

Samsung has also said that since it had been working closely with Google on ICS, they expected to beat competitors to the market with upgrades for existing devices.

Meanwhile other operators have already confirmed through official channels that they will be updating their top of the line devices launched in 2011 to Android 4.0 but non (except Acer) have confirmed a date. Amongst Motorola devices, Xoom will probably be the first to get this update.

Asus has also confirmed it through their Facebook page, saying, "Google recently announced the latest update for Android, Ice Cream Sandwich, which brings some exciting new features and capabilities. At ASUS, we pride ourselves on delivering a great experience with our products, thanks to frequent updates that further enhance our products' capabilities. We're delighted to confirm support for Ice Cream Sandwich on the ASUS Eee Pad Family — our aim is to bring the latest Android update to the Eee Pad Series, but at this time we are unable to set a date for its release. Please stay tuned for more news on our Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade plans."

Tablet-online.pl received a statement from Acer Poland indicating that Ice Cream Sandwich will hit the Acer Iconia Tab A100/A101 and the A500/A501 sometime in mid-January (that is when Consumer electronics show happens).

However, Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 users will be disappointed to know that their device will not be updated any further than the Android 2.3.

HTC has also publicly announced the plans for the updates, but it is expected to be late to the party as their phones are heavily modified version of Android and therefore will take more time to include their Sense user interface into the new updates. It will be a more uphill task since some of the features that were available only through Sense UI are now part of Android 4.0 by default.

Our expectation is that all the manufacturers who have modified skin (user interface) on top of Android will take slightly more time to update their existing handsets. Second, only high end 2011 models are going to get the updates. Third, new device will get the first priority in getting Android 4.0, updates will be done later (as it happened in the case of Android 2.3). And in all likelihood you will have to wait till April to get Ice Cream treat for your Smartphone.

Ajith denies rumours

2011-11-03T19:44:00.000-07:00

The bond between Ajith and filmmaker Vishnuvardhan is common knowledge. Ever since the duo joined hands for the blockbuster movie Billa, the two have shared a close rapport.

Though Vishnu was unable to do the prequel Billa 2 due to his prior Tollywood commitments, they still catch up whenever they find the time. The latest reports doing the rounds are about Ajith dubbing for Tollywood star Pawan Kalyan in the Tamil-dubbed version of

Vishnu’s coming Telugu flick Panja. The movie, which is set to hit cinema halls in December, also features Sarah Jane Dias, (who was one of the three heroines in Vishal’s Theeradha Vilayattu Pillai) and Anjali Lavanya as the female leads.

Buzz is that when Vishnu approached Ajith and asked him to dub for Pawan, the latter immediately agreed.

However, when Ajith, who is shooting in Goa for Billa 2 was contacted by DC, he denied the reports. “It’s news to me! These are baseless rumours,” the Mankatha star said.

It is for sure that will all these comfort and safety features it will be a runaway success because other SUVs in this segment are priced around Rs. 15-20 lakhs. The main rivals of Mahindra XUV500 are Toyota Fortuner, Chevrolet Captiva, Ford Endeavour and recently launched Hyundai Santa Fe.

Engine and Transmission of Mahindra XUV500

- mHawk 2.2 litre transverse diesel engine
- Generates maximum power of 140 Bhp at 3750 rpm
- Generates maximum torque of 330 Nm at 1600 rpm
- XUV500 features a Monocoque chassis
- 6-speed manual gearbox
- ARAI certified mileage of XUV500 is 15.1 kmpl

Mahindra XUV500 is powered by the same 2.2 litre diesel engine which is doing duty under the hood of Mahindra Scorpio but it has been fine-tuned to generate maximum power of 140 Bhp at 3750 rpm and maximum torque of 330 Nm at 1600 rpm. Mahindra XUV 500 features a six-speed manual gearbox. The ARAI certified mileage of XUV500 is 15.1 kmpl which is decent considering the size and weight of the sports utility vehicle. XUV500 is available in both 2 wheel-drive and 4 wheel-drive versions. Mahindra is also planning to launch a twin-turbo variant of XUV500, which is expected to generate maximum power of 170 bhp with maximum torque of 400 nm.

Design & Styling of Mahindra XUV500

- Developed on all-new platform and has nothing to do with Scorpio
- Day time running LED lights looks very cool with orange turn indicators
- Clear lens projector double barrel head lights, tail lamps and fog lights
- Turn indicators integrated into ouside rear-view mirrors
- Puddle lights integrated into ouside rear-view mirrors
- 17 inch alloy wheels looks very good and give macho look to the SUV

As far as looks are concerned Mahindra's XUV500 looks huge with jeepish front grille which is dominated by Mahindra's logo in centre. But the mesh-type look in-between the front bumper and behind front grille looks cheap and doesn't give upmarket and premium look to the SUV. But one thing is very good and commendable that Mahindra has managed to develop a really wide and huge SUV. The headlights, tail lights and fog lights features clear lens for bright and clear view. The huge wheel arcs of XUV500 gives it macho and rugged look which is further enhanced by huge 17 inch alloy wheels. At the rear it doesn't feature rear tail gate mounted spare wheel, the spare wheel has been positioned under the body of Mahindra XUV500. Designed entirely in-house at M&M’s world class research and development facility the Mahindra Research Valley at Chennai, the XUV500 is also the country’s first indigenously developed monocoque SUV with the first transverse engine offering from Mahindra. The XUV 500 features day-time running LEDs like we have seen in many cars and SUVs by Mercedes and Audi. It was expected that XUV 500 would be the most handsome SUV in its class and will compete with the likes of Chevrolet Captiva, Ford Endeavour, Renault Koleos and Toyota Fortuner. But in my opinion XUV500 has nothing very unique in terms of design and styling. It seems to be a mixed bag and we have seen this type of styling before. Only two things are unique and eye-catching, the design of door handles and huge wheel arches. The rear has diamond shaped extruded thing in centre which again looks very chinese-type styling and awkward. The side view of XUV500 is the best and it gives a huge and clean look to the sports utility vehicle. XUV500’s large tailgate opens upwards and reveals large loading area with the rear row of seats folded flat.

Interiors and Comfort Features of Mahindra XUV500

- Power steering, Power windows, Remote central locking/Keyless entry system
- Climate control system, very unique design for AC vents
- Dash integrated music system, AUX, Bluetooth and USB support
- 8-way adjustment for driver's seat, Electrically adjustable and retractable ORVMs
- Global positioning system, AC vents for rear passengers, DVD player
- Dual-tone theme for upholstery, dashboard and central console

Mahindra XUV500 is the most spacious and feature-rich sports utility vehicle in its segment. It features modern looking twin-pod instrument cluster, very stylish central console and all-new interesting design for the AC vents. The top-model of XUV500 will feature Remote central locking/Keyless entry system, climate control system, Cruise, audio, phone controls & voice command switches on steering, 6-inch colour touch screen infotainment display, AUX, Bluetooth and USB support, Flip key with remote central locking , 8-way adjustment for driver's seat, Electrically adjustable and retractable ORVMs, Centre arm rest with cup holders in 2nd row, Global positioning system, AC vents for rear passengers, Dual-tone theme for upholstery and dashboard, rear wiper/washer, Mobile charging points, height adjustable driver's seat and many cubby holes plus bottle/glass holders. The steering wheel of XUV500 has controls for the music system and Mahindra has designed it very well, the bottom has silver matte finish and rest of the part is leather clad. The design of central console is very good with integrated music system, controls for the automatic climate control system and integrated global positioning system.

சிம்பு தான் அடுத்த எம்.ஜி.ஆர் : டி.ராஜேந்தர்

2011-07-17T06:23:00.000-07:00

மக்கள் திலகம் எம்.ஜி.ஆர்., போல சிம்புவும் வருவார் என்று அவரது அப்பாவும், நடிகருமான டி.ராஜேந்தேர் கூறுகிறார். சமீபத்தில் ரிலீசான

சிம்பு நடித்த வானம் படம் ரிலீசாகி 75வது நாளை முன்னிட்டு சில தினங்களுக்கு முன்னர், தமிழகம் முழுவதும் விளம்பரம் ஒன்று ஒட்டப்பட்டு இருந்தது.

அந்த விளம்பர போஸ்டரில், ’’அன்று திரைவானத்தின் துருவ நட்சத்திரம் மக்கள் திலகம் எம்.ஜி.ஆர்., இன்றைய திரை வானத்தின் வளரும் நட்சத்திரம் யங் சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் எஸ்.டி.ஆர்.’’ என்று சிம்புவை, மக்கள் திலகம் எம்.ஜி.ஆர்., உடன் ஒப்பிட்டு இடம்பெற்று இருந்தது.

இந்த விளம்பரத்தை தயாரித்தது சிம்புவின் அப்பா டி.ராஜேந்தர் தான்.

இது குறித்து டி.ராஜேந்தர், ‘’ சிம்புவின் வானம் படத்தை 75வது நாளை முன்னிட்டு அந்த விளம்பரத்தை ரெடி பண்ணியது நான் தான். இதில் ஒன்றும் தப்பு ஏதும் இல்லையே.

சினிமா வாழ்க்கையில் சிம்புவும், எம்.ஜி.ஆர்., போன்ற நிலைமையை அடைய வேண்டும். அது தான் எனது கனவு, லட்சியம் எல்லாம். அதற்காக சிம்புவை நான் தயார் பண்ணி வருகிறேன். அவனும் தனது பயணத்தை தொடர்ந்து கொண்டு இருக்கிறான்.

மேலும் அந்த விளம்பரத்தில் அன்றைய கால கட்டத்தில் எம்.ஜி.ஆர்., எப்படி உயர்ந்து வந்தாரோ, அதுபோல தான் சிம்புவும் உயர்ந்து வருகிறான் என்று கூறியிருக்கேன். எம்.ஜி.ஆர்., மாதிரி ஆவதற்கு அவனிடம் எல்லாம் தகுதியும் இருக்கிறது. நிச்சயம் ஒரு நாள் அவரை போல, என் மகனும் உயர்வான்’’ என்று கூறியுள்ளார்.

Deivathirumagal-Tamil movie review

2011-07-16T19:04:00.000-07:00

Starring: Vikram, Anushka, Amala Paul, Santhanam, Direction: AL VijayMusic: G V Prakash KumarProduction:

UTV Motion Pictures

“Simpler a thing is, nobler it is”, said the legendary Sathyajith Ray. He would have reiterated his stance now had he watched Krishna (Vikram) in Deiva Thirumagal.
What would you call someone who is an embodiment of all things good, simple and virtuous but appears in the eyes of blemished materialistic world as aberrated? A Deiva Thirumagan, indeed!
DT is a poetical tale of love and affection between a dad and his 5 year old daughter who is the raison d’être of his life. He may be a mentally challenged person to the world but he is after all her dad.
Director Vijay’s caliber as an effective raconteur keeps escalating in every film of his and DT is the latest example. His matured handling of the script and his characters are just testimony to this. It is endearing to watch this tale unravel itself in a very charming and touching fashion.
There are no villains in DT but all the characters are driven by the goodness exuded by its lead Vikram. One of the first frames, where Krishna helps the pickpocket guy sums up his characterization. The subsequent shots of him abiding the traffic signal, wanting to stick to truth only and helping a hatchling to its nest lucidly spells forth his character. In a way, it is Vikram all the way…
What can you say about this actor whose sincerity and talents that are not already known? It is not Vikram you see but it is Krishna and a dad wanting to be with his daughter suffering the pangs of separation. He has done the tightrope walking of playing a mentally challenged person to the hilt. A little sway on any one side would have worked detrimental to him as an actor and the film. The seasoned actor that he is has given a brilliant performance.
Anushka looks ravishing and as a struggling lawyer gets her act right wanting to bring justice to her client. Santhanam’s comedy gels along with the story line and brings in enjoyable lighter moments. Nasser as the intelligent and cunning senior advocate Bhashyam is apt and delivers a veteran’s performance. However it is baby Sara who steals the show next only to Vikram in her angelic looks and performance. There is a serene look about her which helps the role majorly and her understanding of her dad and playing to his inadequacies warrant accolades. Amala Paul has a small role and delivers it right. The supporting casts of Y Gee Mahendra, Sachin Khedekar, Karthik Kumar, Krishna Kumar, Surekha, M R Kishore and Priya have also essayed their roles quite effectively. .
Setting the right kind of mood through his camera work has been cinematographer Nirav Shah’s forte which he has adhered to in DT. Nirav has had a field day in Vizhigalil Oru Vaanavil number which is aesthetics at its best. Anushka’s expressions in this sequence and the oblivious Vikram behind her on the bike are a revelation. The sleek and discreet editing helps the proceeding in a big way. G V Prakash’s scores are already chartbusters and each track adds significant value to the film. Ore oru oorukkula number is sure to be children’s favorite
Dialogues like “Vakil kitayum doctor kittayum poi pesa koodathu, aana vakillum doctorum poi pesalam” and ‘Saamikku amma kedayaada’ are noteworthy. There are quite a scenes that tug at your heart’s strings and almost all of them happen between the dad and the daughter, the cream being the one between them in the court room towards the end and that on the first day of Sara’s school where the duo communicate with each other in sign language.
On the flip side a few scenes involving M S Bhaskar and the helper don’t add value to the progress of the film. However considering the overwhelming positive feeling that the film evokes in its entirety, these foibles can be forgiven.
After a long while, DT gives the satisfaction of watching a film without cringing in your seats or worrying how it would appeal to the young population. In short Deiva Thirumagal is a well nuanced film that will appeal to everyone who has their heart and feelings in the right place.
Verdict: An emotional tale between a father and a daughter well told

2011-07-16T18:54:00.000-07:00

Ford has launched the all-new Fiesta saloon with 1.5-litre petrol and diesel engine options.

Thala First interview on Mankatha

2011-07-16T09:44:00.000-07:00

Life seems to have come full circle for Ajith Kumar with Mankatha. It may be his 50th film, but the actor is as excited as someone making his debut in cinema. “Yes, I've approached this project with the same interest, energy and passion as I did my first film. After a long while, I was totally focussed on acting. What I mean to say is the production and direction departments of Mankatha were so well-organised that I didn't have to pitch in unlike some of my earlier projects. I was able to do full justice to my role,” says Ajith.

A lot of credit for that should go to director Venkat Prabhu, says Ajith. “He is the finest I've ever worked with. He is meticulous, treats every one on the sets with respect and has full control over all areas of filmmaking.”

Merely doing the most number of films a year doesn't necessarily prove the success of an actor and Ajith believes in this. For him, a good film every few years is satisfying and raises audience expectations. Billa was Ajith's last box office success. That happened in 2007, a year that also saw the release of his two other films — Aalwar and Kireedom — which didn't quite set the screens on fire. Then Aegan and Aasal released, again, not quite the kind of films one would expect from the actor. On the other hand, Billa was stylish and suave, reflecting Ajith in real life, minus the dark deeds of the film's hero.

Choosy about projects

Known to be choosy about his projects, Ajith didn't find any script/director worthy of his attention. In some instances, destiny decided otherwise (read: Gautam Menon, Vishnuvardhan, Bala) and projects didn't click the way he would have liked them to. Unperturbed, he turned his attention to personal and family matters — his daughter Anoushka had just got into kindergarten; he remodelled his house; wife Shalini was happy to have Ajith around the house; he got more time to take care of his parents' health; he could indulge in his favourite pastime of aeromodelling. The list was becoming endless. Till Venkat Prabhu happened and Mankatha sprang up from the director's storyboard.

The film industry is such that heroes, despite their advancing years, yearn to play younger roles. For Ajith, to play a character sporting salt and pepper hair and beard would have required courage. “Actually no. I think, with age comes wisdom. I'm not afraid of appearing as I do in reality and the role in Mankathacalled for it. In fact, Vinayak Mahadevan (Ajith's character in Mankatha) is an ordinary man. Money is all he's interested in. What you will get to see is a very, very bad man in Vinayak,” explains Ajith.

Mankatha is all about betting, with the game of cricket forming the backdrop. “In fact, when Venkat narrated the story to me, he said there were five characters in the film, all bad men and one guy who was the worst. I play that character; you can call him protagonist or antagonist. He has in him that villainous streak that would probably make you recoil. After a long time in my career, I thoroughly enjoyed doing this role. Something about the character interested me and I was sure Venkat would do full justice to the way he had conceived it. As for me, I've put in my best and, in the process, understood the value of hard work,” says Ajith.

Now that Mankatha is wrapped up, Ajith has moved on to his next. With Billa 2 happening as a prequel, what can one expect from Ajith? “The very fact that we are making a prequel is unusual. Billa is a brand by now, more like a franchise. A lot of people would like to know where Billa came from. What led him to become Billa? This is a bold attempt and I'm happy that the entire production is in the secure hands of Suresh and captained by an accomplished director Chakri Toleti.”

For most actors, especially those who play hero, the aura of stardom gets stuck to them. At some point, the star takes over and acting becomes of no consequence. It's not so for Ajith, who says, “I'm always an actor and will remain so. The star aura is what is perceived by fans. It doesn't change me or my lifestyle. I am still the same Ajith I was 50 films ago. No doubt, the popularity robs you of your freedom.”

Simbu aka STR seems to juggling three projects at a time.

The actor, who has just wrapped up the shoot for Poda Podi opposite Varalakshmi has already moved on to his next project, Vosthi, the Tamil remake of the Hindi superhit Dabangg. The actor is currently shooting in Mysore for the film and is enjoying every bit of it. "We came to Mysore to avoid the crowd. Had we been to Pollachi or Tirunelveli, we would have been swarmed by the crowds. Mysore is a peaceful city. But here too, people recognized me and welcomed me with open arms. Mysoreans are very warm and welcoming. And it's good to be among them," says Simbu.

Meanwhile, the actor is also facing the arc lights for Vettai Mannan, in which he plays a gangster, along with Jai of Subramaniapuram fame. "We need three heroines for the film and the hunt is still on. It's a tale of gangsters and the film is going to be loaded with action scenes, "says the actor
