Meera’s unpunctuality costs her 25 lakhs!

Looks like the petite Meera Jasmine’s acting career is as jinxed as her personal life. The talented actor’s career is on a downhill with her expulsion from the Malayalam film industry for her alleged breach of contract. Meanwhile, complaints of her displaying lack of interest in the committed projects are on the increase in Telugu and Tamil movies as well.

Recently, she was shown the door from the S Pictures production venture ‘Anandapurathu Veedu’. Director Naga alleged that she was a regular late-comer for the shoots and immediately dropped out of the movie when questioned. Production Manager Vimal has lodged a complaint against Meera at the Producers’ Council requesting the authorities to instruct her to return the compensation of 25 lakhs.

Meanwhile, Director Naga has roped in Caaya Singh to play the part opposite Nanda now and shoots are on.

Yuvan Shankar Raja turns producer

He has started a new production company called Pink Stone. The film he produces is directed by S D Sabha. Siva, who starred in 'Chennai 600028,' is the hero of the film. The heroine, title and rest of the cast have not yet been finalized.
Speaking about his venture, Yuvan says, "I want to present some things in music, but situations does not make it possible. So I planned to make the film and make my wish come true through that. That's a main reason why I started this company."

One may recall that Yuvan and Selvaraghavan had stated a joint production company White Elephant but that fell apart. "The white elephant ran away into the forest," says Yuvan when asked about it. Yuvan does have a comic side to him!

Just because he has turned producer, would his music composing suffer? No. There's a team to take care of the production work, says Yuvan clearly

Ramya: Life in the fast lane

Ramya, one of the most happening stars in Sandalwood, disclosed that she is scared of too much speed. She was speaking at the muhurat of her next film Ullasa where her hero is national and international motor race champion C. Vijayakumar. She revealed that she is apprehensive about shooting scenes where she needs to pillion ride with Vijayakumar.

Ullasa went to the floors at the Manyatha Embassy Park at Nagavara with Transport Minister R. Ashok flagging off and Shivaraj Kumar sounding the clapboard. The director of the film is Prakash. Suman, Sharat Lohitashva, Sharan, Avinash, Bullet Prakash, Anil, Appu Venkatesh are also in the cast. The film is being produced by P. Nagaraj and K. Ramesh under the banner of Nagaraj combines.

Termed as an action adventure, this film has several stunt sequences involving a

speeding train for which the director is yet to get permission from the Southern Railway officials. Speedster Vijayakumar is very confident that he can jump over a running train for the shoot. Now it seems Ramya will have a difficult time acting this scene in the film unless she opts for a dupe.
