Rajinikanth Comes In The "Kuselan" For Few Minutes

Rajinikanth comes in the Kuselan for few minutes but the posters promote as if the whole movie is his. Why not even a few minutes of Rajinikanth is enough to poost the movie.

Rajinikanth says “There’s already a lot of hype about the movie. I’m very nervous with everyone expecting it to run to a silver jubilee,” he says.
The distributors have sold the movie as Rajinikanth’s movie for Rs 64 crore, for more than what the move Sivaji was sold for more than what the move Sivaji was sold for.

Sneha Will Complete Fifty Eventful Films

With a cameo in the Rajinikanth movie 'Kuselan', Sneha will complete fifty eventful films. She has been a very popular name in the South Indian Movie Industry and has been part of several Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam films.

Spotlights turned on her especially for that lovely intoxicating smile and her big enchanting feminine eyes. Sneha was spotted by director Fazil and that started her career in 2001 with the Malayalam film 'Engane Oru Nila Pakshi', directed by Anil Babu. This Telugu girl, born in Mumbai and brought up in Dubai, hit big time with the Tamil film 'Anandam' where she starred opposite Abbas. She then became sought after big time with offers from Tamil and Telugu.

Sneha is still going strong in her eighth year in filmdom and has shared screen space with almost all heroes including Kamal Haasan, Suriya, Mammootty, Ajith, Vijay and Vikram. Her last outing in Malayalam with Mammootty ''Thuruppu Ghulan'' was also a big hit. The actress also can be proud enough of being in the industry without appearing in meaningless glamorous roles, item dances and titillating skin show.

She is presently acting with Mammootty in the bilingual 'Vande Matharam' and with Prasanna in the film 'Achchamundu Achchamundu' being shot entirely in the United States. When it's rare for actresses, these days, to last even in ten fims, can anyone ask for more?

'I only have a few more in my career wish list the important ones, to act with the Malayalam superstar Mohanlal and to work with directors Shankar and Manirathinam' says Sneha.

"Kushelan" Release On 1st August

Pyramid Saimira, the worldwide distributors of Rajinikanth’s Kuselan, has postponed the release date of the film to 1 August.

The bilingual film (Tamil and Telugu), which will hit the theatres with 1000 prints worldwide, was earlier slated to release on 25 July. However, the delay occurred due to post production work.

A remake of the Malayalam movie Kadha Parayumpol, the film will be released simultaneously in Tamil and Telugu as Kuselan and Kathanayukudu respectively.Kuselan, directed by P. Vasu, will feature Rajinikanth in 20 costumes. Pyramid Saimira is expecting the film to take the best-ever opening of 2008.

Another Book About The Superstar

In less than a few months of The Name is Rajinikanth’s release, another book about the superstar is slated to hit the stands soon. This one talks about Rajini’s impressive presence and command over the overseas market. This book analyses the fact and figures and discusses the possible reasons in detail about the phenomenon.

Written by Balachander’s son-in-law, Kandasamy, the book will be released soon as per news sources. It is significant to note that this subject has been largely left untouched so far, and only books about Rajini’s journey in cinema, spirituality, and biography have been released earlier.

Cheran Next Movies "Pokkisham"

Actor-director Cheran has kicked off his next venture 'Pokkisham' in which he would be acting as well as directing it. Produced by Nemichand Jhabak and V Hitesh Jhabak, the movie features Padmapriya opposite Cheran.

The two come together after a successful outing in 'Thavamai Thavamirundhu'. Hitesh Jhabhak too is a happy man because his earlier production ventures 'Anjathey' and 'Pandi' have turned out to be successful.

'It would be an off-beat film. Designed as a typical Cheran film, it has enough drama and emotional elements in it', say sources close to the director. The movie has musical score by Sabesh Murali and cinematography by Rajesh Yadav.

Cheran's last directorial venture ‘Mayakannadi’ didn't do so well at the box-office. The onus is on Cheran to deliver a hit now. Meanwhile Cheran is playing the lead role in 'Raman Thediya Seethai', directed by Jagan.

The movie also features Nithin Sathya, Pasupathy alongside Cheran and is getting ready for release.

G V Prakash Is Flying High These Days

G V Prakash is flying high these days. The songs he composed for 'Kuselan' is topping the audio charts and what's more…. he is flooded with offers from just about everybody in Kollywood. Appreciation from the superstar himself has landed him in great joy.

Meanwhile, the young music director is hoping for more variety in his music.

The talented young man who has in his films used several singers feels that variety is the need of the hour. He chose Punjabi singer Daler Mehandi to render a song in 'Kuselan', and opted for veteran playback singer P B Srinivas in 'Ayirathil Oruvan' and Subha Mudgal in 'Anand Thandavam'. Prakash, who has sung for the likes of A R Rahman and Harris Jeyaraj, will be lending his voice for his own music for the first time in 'Angadi Theru'.

'I want to go in for variety. I always look to explore with new voices,' the young happy music director says.
