Kamal, Mohanlal & Venkatesh join hands

Kamal and Mohanlal will be seen together in Thalaivan Irukkiran, a redo of A Wednesday, a Hindi film. Kamal was recently spotted discussing the script and final schedules of the movie with Mohanlal which is being produced by Rajkamal productions and said to be directed by Chakri, an ad film maker based in US. The film will be shot both in Tamil and Telugu with Venkatesh taking Mohanlal’s place in the Telugu version.
The highlight of the movie is that it will have no women characters, except that of a TV anchor. Three names figure in the probable list, ‘Mirchi’ Suchitra, Veejay Pooja of SS music fame and Mallika Sherawat. Wonder who the lucky one is! Shooting will start from March 9 in Chennai and Mohanlal will join the crew on March 23. Later the Telugu version will be shot in Hyderabad. The film is expected to be shot in a relatively short span of time and make it to theatres by July

Katrina out, Mugdha in for Rohit Shetty's comedy

Mumbai, Mugdha Godse, who made quite a few heads turn in "Fashion", has replaced Katrina Kaif in director Rohit Shetty's next entertainer.
Shetty, whose "Golmaal Returns" had set the cash registers ringing last year, confirmed that Katrina was the first choice for the film, which is yet to be named. "Yes, we wanted Katrina Kaif in the project. She would have been a definite value-add. It's a pity though that she can't be doing my film because the dates of my film clash with some other assignments of hers," Shetty told IANS. Mugdha, who is paired opposite Neil Nitin Mukesh in Madhur Bhandarkar's "Jail" too, is only too happy to be in the full-on entertainer that is Ajay Devgan's home production. "I love singing and dancing around trees and have no contempt for hardcore commercial Hindi films. I'm happy to be playing one of the female leads in the film. Moreover, my part requires me to look glamorous as well as add to the plot," said Mugdha. Is she aware that Katrina was initially approached for the role that she has been signed on for? "I have heard about this, but frankly I don't worry about such things. Cliched as it may sound, replacements do happen in the industry. I don't know whether I'm replacing anybody or not. but I'm glad about playing an interesting character," Mugdha chirped. So is she excited about working in her first 'masala' film? "I'm happy to be paired opposite Fardeen Khan and I love that man's style. Moreover, I'm being directed by Rohit who has never put a foot wrong. He is a guy who thinks commercial cinema and knows how to get his audience engaged in theatres. I'm sure I will have a blast working in this film," the actress said. (source:bollywoodworld.com)

Rahman bags 3 Hollywood offers

CHENNAI: While speculation is strife about the benefit that AR Rahman’s win in Oscars is likely to bring to Indian entertainment and sound industries, the music icon, who has grown larger than life into a maestro, has landed himself three offers from Hollywood.
“Yeah, I have received 2-3 offers,” he said in his trademark matter-of-fact tone, albeit with an added touch of euphoria. “Due to the confidentiality in the agreements, I cannot talk about them any further,” he said. He was addressing the media in Chennai on Thursday in a mood of jubilance, having slept barely seven hours after his arrival from Los Angeles at 3.
The air in the hall cackled with almost as much energy as his Oscar winning song releases. “Jai Ho! Embodies the release of an extraordinary energy,” he said. “The music enhanced the film, like the jewel on a beautiful ornament. And it, somehow, also appealed to a western sensibility.”
The musician, who did Tamil proud by addressing a few words in his mother tongue to the audience at the Kodak Theatre on Sunday, admitted that despite having forayed into different styles of music, composing for Tamil songs, having grown up with the language. But, that didn’t stop him from taking wild risks at the international stage. “Less than one-tenth of the budget of Slumdog Millionaire was allocated for its music. If I had shied away from it, I would have missed all this,” he said.
He recalled the moment nearly two decades ago, when he stood under the spotlight receiving a national award for his debut with Roja, directed by Mani Ratnam. “I had only as much expectation for this award, as I had for that one!” he said. “Well, after Golden Globe and Bafta, I had some 5% more expectation.” read more.....
