Who is Raavana’s Mandodhari in ManiRathnam film ?

Mani Ratnam’s ‘Raavana’ steals a lot of attention, both for good and the dark reasons. He is busy churning out ‘Raavana’, the bilingual project, in spite of lay-backs.

The director had at times remade epics into modern day stories ever since ‘Thalapathi’ (story of Karna from Mahabharata). And inspired by ‘Ramayana’, he is working on ‘Raavana’ with lots of diligence to bring it out as a masterwork.

As per his plan, for the Hindi version the characters based on Rama and Seetha is played by Abhishek and Aish while Vikram would play the shades of Ravana. On the other hand the Tamil version will have Vikram replacing Abhishek’s role and would pair up with Aish. Prithiviraj would play the baddie in this version. We are also aware that Priyamani is roped in for the role of ‘Surpanagai’ for both the versions.

But, for quite some time there is a delay in fixing up an actress for the role of Mandodhari (Ravana’s wife). As most of us know, the gorgeous Nayantara has refused this juicy offer from the maverick movie maker. It was said that she turned down the role of Mandodhari as there was no glamour quotient. Guess what? A small birdie says that Mani Sir is now eying Reema Sen, for the same role. The ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’ girl is still busy with the project’s patch work. But Suhasni Mani Ratnam had directly approached Selvaragavan and had asked for his permission to hire the lady for her husband’s project just for ten days.

Be it ten days or fifty days, will Selvaragavan allow Reema to cross his territory?

Pokkisham Vs Kathaswamy?

Producer Hitesh Jabak, has decided to be bold and daring.

He has decided to release his eagerly awaited Cheran’s Pokkisham on Aug 14, for the Independence Day weekend.

The film is to be censored on August 8, and publicity campaign will start immediately.

It clearly means that Pokkisham will clash with Vikram’s big budget Susi Ganeshan directed Kalaipuli S.Dhanu produced extravaganzaKanthaswamy releasing on August 15!

For Cheran it is a very important film, coming after that colossal flop Mayakannadi. The film has Cheran and Padmapriya as lovers, with very good music by Sabesh Murali.

Cheran in an interview has stated that Pokkisham revolves around a very special letter that the hero cherishes.

Says Cheran: “ It’s a simple love story set in the 1970s, when there were no cell phones, SMS’s or e-mails. Writing letters was the best way to express love by two people separated by many miles.”

Vikram-Gung-ho about Kanthaswamy!

Vikram is gung-ho the way his Susi Ganeshan directed Kanthaswamy has shaped out.

Last week before he left for Ooty for Mani Ratnam’s Raavan shoot, he saw the film.

Vikram says: “ Kanthaswamy is one of the most stylish films ever made in Tamil, it is class at the same time very mass and racy. The film is fun with lots of entertainment, yet has a serious message to convey.”

The songs of the film tuned by Devi Sri Prasad are topping the charts. Says Vikram: “ The songs are chic with oodles of oomph and glamour. Devi’s music and background score is awesome. Shriya is gorgeous.”

The actor feels such spectacular action scenes have never been shot before. Added Vikram: “You will see me in a startling new uber stylish avatar.”

The actor is also all praise for director Susi Ganeshan. “I would count Susi as one of the finest directors today in Tamil commercial cinema. He has designed the sound on par with Hollywood standards. And his shots are seen to be believed. Added to that, Ekambaram’s camera is magnificent. The film is going to rock”, concludes Vikram.
