Where has Mumtaz gone?

For the past 2 years, she was the star attraction of Tamil films. Suddenly, you need a magnifying lens to find out where she is.

What has come over her?

The string of flops in Tamil Cinema had made her look for greener pastures on the Telugu shores. She is the one who does the honors for 'O Podu' in Telugu's 'Gemini'.

She plans to conquer lots of peaks in the Telugu industry and stick around for a long time.

 


Tamil here. Tamil there. Tamil Everywhere.


Sneha, Rathi, trisha, Abhuami, Vijayalakshmi ('Friends')…

Good girls. Good-looking girls. And, they speak good Tamil too.

The latest addition to this list is the heroine of Bharatiraaja's latest film 'Kangalaal Kaidhu Sei', Priya Mani.

This 'born -in - Kerala, brought up - in - Bangalore' Tamil girl has finally made Chennai her permanent residence. This crystal -clear Tamil speaking girl has been signed up for a new film called 'Romeo Juliet'.

The next edition of 'How to learn Tamil in 30 Days' should be written by be of these actresses. They seem to learn this language that fast.

One of the latest entrants of Tamil cinema Shereen, has picked up the language so fast that she is speaking beautiful Tamil these days. She speaks in Tamil to the newspaper people and to her unit members.

She's now acting in 3 films- 'Jaya', 'Whistle' and 'Student No:1'. Her dream is to dub in her own voice for atleast one of these films.

 

 

  
Heera secretly married?

Actress Heera married an American industrialist in a hush-hush ceremony at Chennai yesterday (15 September 2002).

Her name was romantically linked in the gossip columns with actors like Sarath Kumar and Ajith. Ever since she broke up with Ajith, she had kept herself away from Tamil cine industry. In the rare press interviews that she occasionally gave, she had always expressed her lack of interest in matrimony.

Amidst this, she had married the US based industrialist Pushkar Natt in a quiet and secret ceremony at Gopalapuram.

None of the film personalities was invited for the ceremony.
 

 


Hi Madan! Looks like Tamil Cinema has began functioning normally again with its usual number of releases?

Yup. I think I know what film you saw lately. Let me guess. It's 'Run', isn't it?

Right! First day first show. My friends were ready to pay even 200 bucks to watch that film. They are that crazy about Madhavan.

It's a handful of people like you who are destroying Tamil cinema. Alright, how was the film?

Mmm, our dude was cool, especially in the subway sequence, where he pulls down the shutters and gets all actioned up. Whew! We couldn't believe our own eyes. The scene was absolutely hair raising!

Director Linguswamy is jubilant at the reports of success that are pouring in from all over the state. "The theaters that screened 'Aanandam' were full of jasmine flowers and sarees. This time around, for 'Run', the theatres are full of jeans", the director said in an all - smiles interview.

Okay. Hey, people who have seen 'King' say that Sneha is hardly seen anywhere in the film.

Don't even ask. These days, everybody is crazy about Sneha. However, director Solomon had chopped away most of her scenes because they were interfering with the story's pace. This has left her fans extremely disappointed. In that film, she is the 'King's queen. How could the director simply snip away the queen's shots.

Yeah. They made Sneha blush with a title like 'Yei Nee Romba Azaga Irukkae' and they had her sashaying throughout the film in some colorful costumes. But, look what happened to the film? Pictures do not become a success just because the heroine looks great. Let us understand that Madan.

Alright, forget it. Did you read about the Vikram - Prashanth friction?

Yeah, I did. With 12 hands and ferocious looks, they are seen in the promo stills for their latest films. I don't know who stole whose idea Madan, but Vikram, in his 'Saami' Poster, looks better with his 12 hands. It has a greater impact than Prashanth's.

Probably Prashanth knew about this. That's why, at the pooja's of his film 'New', he declared that he doesn't consider anyone as his competitor but if someone wants to compete with him, then he's ready for them.

Madan, Tamil cinema these days is looking increasingly like TamilNadu Politics. The actors aren't happy with just acting and becoming popular. They want to go for confrontations with each other. This isn't a healthy trend, Madan.  

 

 

   

  • The latest gossip that rocked Kodambakkam last week was the secret marital knots between the 'Nanda' boy & Jyothi kaaa' Girl.
    When news surfaced, the telephone bell began to ring continuously at the actor's residence. This has made his father an extremely angry man. 'Who is this pious soul who starts this rumor at least once every six months?', the father asks with his trademark drawl. This is his way to deny the rumor.

  • The two young heroes took the advice of their friends & relatives & went ahead to give the now famous 12 - hands pose for promoting their new films. Now, this is growing into a big trouble between the two. Both are busy spying about each other's film through the unit members. And, the members are having all the fun watching the two heroes fight with each other. The latest point of contention - Why don't they release both these film on the same day? Now, that will be fun.

  • 'Oh Lord! Fate has played a cruel joke on me!' cries the affectionate (sneham) actress. Her least film called the English 'emperor' is responsible for this cry. One actually has to search high and low to find the heroine is that film. Her sequence have been trimmed that drastically. 'I'm going to be extremely cautious in future,' she keeps telling her cinema - circle friends these days.
