Shruti Haasan getting too expensive for producers

Shruti Haasan getting too expensive for producers

September 2, 2011






Reports say that upcoming starlet and actor Kamal Haasan’s daughter Shruti Haasan is turning out to be quite expensive for her producers. The talented Shruti had already debuted as actress in Bollywood and Tollywood with not much success and is now trying out her luck in Tamil by debuting as Suriya’s heroine in director A.R. Murugadoss’ upcoming film ‘7aam Arivu’.

It is said that the producer is made to cough up Rs.60,000 for a day’s expenses for Shruti Haasan as she comes along with her entourage. Her costumer, touch-up artiste, make-up women and car driver are all to be paid off hefty sums by the producers for each day till the schedule is completed.

Most of the leading actresses get their fee including the allowances to be paid to their personal attendants like make-up artistes. Shruti, however, dares to be different and makes the director bear the burden of taking care of her assistants. A rough estimate puts these expenses alone at Rs.60 lakhs! (KT)

Kajal Agarwal confirms Suriya’s Maatraan

Kajal Agarwal confirms Suriya’s Maatraan

May 26, 2011





Well, a few days back we have reported you that most happening and gorgeous Kajal Agarwal is pairing opposite Suriya in Maatraan, now it is officially confirmed by Kajal Agarwal.

Kajal says “I am really proud to be a part of this film and I am thrilled about it. It is my longtime desire to work with Suriya and I am eagerly looking forward for the day of shoot. Director K V Anand’s films have a greater importance for heroines as they will not be showcased for the sake of glamour alone. Maatraan too is an example for it.

Remember Kajal was the heroine of Naan Mahaan Alla, which had Karthi, Suriya’s younger brother, in lead role. She is really lucky to share the screen space with both of them as so far the only actress is Tamanna who acted with Suriya and Karthi.

Kajal Agarwal is currently the top actress in Tollywood and she is all set to conquer the hearts of Tamil audiences very soon with Maatraan.

Meanwhile her film Maaveeran, the Tamil dubbed version of Magadheera will be hitting the screens on coming Friday, May 27th. The actress has played the role of a princess and trusts that the magic will repeat again. [WaY]

Kamal to re-launch Shruti Haasan

Kamal to re-launch Shruti Haasan

August 20, 2010



First it was mom Sarika whose good friends were used to launch daughter Shruti Haasan's career in Hindi cinema. Now, apparently dad Kamal Hassan has taken over the responsibility to put his daughter's career on the right track in Bollywood.

Her first attempt at stardom in "Luck" was a big fiasco. So now "Ghajini" director A.R. Murugadoss has been asked to create an impressive re-launch film for the pretty actress.

Murugadoss admits that his multilingual film "Ezham Arivu" ("The Seventh Sense") is planned as a re-launch for Shruti in Bollywood.

"It is a medical thriller with some of the most costly special effects ever done in southern cinema. We want to take the sci-fi to a new level in the South. Shruti has a very powerful role and yes, we're hoping it would launch her career in Hindi cinema," said Murugadoss.

The story goes that Murugadoss had gone to Kamal Haasan to collaborate on a project. Instead Kamal suggested that he work with Shruti whose experience in Mumbai was far from satisfying.

That's how Murugadoss ended up signing Shruti opposite Suriya in the Tamil "Ezham Arivu" ("The Seventh Sense"). Originally the film was meant to be in Tamil and Telugu. But now a Hindi version is also being made. It will be made in Tamil Nadu. (GUL)

Tamannah diplomacy keeps her away from link ups

Tamannah diplomacy keeps her away from link ups

February 3, 2010



Film industry is a place where, the acting stars are always targeted as gossip objects their personnel and professional lives are always a fodder for the media and the link up stories are a hit in the media.

Milky white beauty Tamannah has achieved stardom at a very tender age and with only few films in her career, she has now acted with all the top stars in Kollywood like Surya, Karthi, and Vijay and in future may be with Kamal Hassan.

It is her diplomatic answers to the media, which make her isolated from the media. The actress has been a professional on and off screen and has never allowed the media go gaga over her personnel life. Moreover, she is a true professional and always speaks more about her professional life than her personnel life.

In a recent interview, the gorgeous beauty thanked all her directors for portraying her in a diva image and has also won praises from her colleagues in Tamil and Telugu cinema industries. She also thanked the media for not writing against her and welcomed any kind of suggestions from her fans through the media.

Tamannah Bhatia is gossiped to re-enter bollywood with a film opposite to Indian cinema actor Siddharth which is to be directed by RGV. (HC)

Will Nayan stop the success of ‘Aadhavan’?

Will Nayan stop the success of ‘Aadhavan’?

October 13, 2009


This has been the most often question amongst the masses. Tamil film industry is much different from other regional ones. Know what? If Mumbaikars do watch the film for entertainment, our people are so adhered to the film stars and directors as they perceive them to be like their own family.

But when the same personalities are found to be involved in some ludicrous deeds, the masses would turn down and stop encouraging them.

Likely, Surya’s ‘Aadhavan’ seems to be drenched is similar problems as Nayanthara has paired up with him. The actress has involved in an affair with Prabhu Deva and this has really dropped down their likeliness on her.

Let’s wait and watch the results of ‘Aadhavan’. Even if the film goes with triumph at box office, Nayanthara will have no part in it.
