Rajiv Menon Going Ahead With Abhimaan Remake

Posted by SRINU GUNTURU | | Posted On at 2:12 PM

Rajiv Menon who introduced Aishwarya Rai in 'Kandukondein Kandukondein' is now making a remake of the 1973 Amitabha-Jaya starrer Abhimaan. Though Abhishek says the film is not exactly a remake of Abhimaan sources cite it's nearly the same.

The film was to be made with Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai but Abhishek stepped in the last moment. Cinematographer and director Rajiv Menon is playing safe this time, cashing on the husband-wife chemistry and resorting to a remake. It would have been rather interesting to have Rajiv used the couple for far more better script. As it is Abhishek Bacchan is a non-happening actor compared to his wife, wonder if the filmmakers really need to whip up an 'abhimaan' in Abhishek's mind

Film on Jawaharlal Nehru - Lady Edwina Mountbatten's Affair

Posted by SRINU GUNTURU | | Posted On at 2:10 PM

The shooting of Hollywood film Indian Summer has reportedly been halted over the portrayal of Jawaharlal Nehru's friendship with Lady Edwina Mountbatten, wife of India's last viceroy, Lord Mountbatten.

The government officials are reportedly "assessing" the script to ensure that Nehru's "friendship" with Edwina in the movie is not shown wrongly.

"Filming of Indian Summer, starring Cate Blanchett and Hugh Grant, has been halted while Indian government officials assess the portrayal of Nehru's "friendship" with the last Vicereine. They are thought to have asked to see the script to ensure the plot is not too salacious,"British newspaper The Telegraph reported quoting sources from movie production.

Directed by 'Atonement' filmmaker Joe Wright and produced byUniversal Pictures, the film reportedly depicts Nehru and Edwina as secret and passionate lovers, which is likely to ruffle feathers in India, the newspaper said.

Starring Oscar-winning Cate Blanchett as Edwina, the movie tells thestory of Lord and Lady Mountbatten's return to India in 1947 for the handover and is based on the book 'Indian Summer: The Secret History of the End of an Empire' by Alex von Tunzelmann.

The movie, which reportedly also stars British actor Hugh Grant and depict the last days of Empire in India as Lord Mountbatten hands over power during the summer of 1947 to Nehru, is slated to go onfloors early next year. It is slated to release in 2011.

Kamal Haasan Vs Naseeruddin Shah

Posted by SRINU GUNTURU | | Posted On at 2:10 PM

Like it or not but before the arrival of the film ‘Eenadu’ it was often said that Kamal Haasan and Naseeruddin Shah belonged to the ivy league of actors. They were unique by their own traits and gave several mind blowing performances over the past few decades much to the delight and hangover of the audience.

However, now a situation has arrived when both of them are being compared with each other. Thanks to the film ‘Eenadu’, remake of ‘A Wednesday’ the Bollywood flick which had Naseer in the lead.
Now, many have been comparing both movies and more than that, the performances by both the veterans. There has been a significant group which said that Naseer was way beyond Kamal in this movie. He had the right kind of voltage and the intensity which depicted the anguish of a common man in the right way.

On the other hand, many said that Kamal has got a larger than lifeimage of his and he was not able to fit the bill of an ordinary man. Also, the depth in his character was not portrayed say many whichresulted in a rather mild performance. All said and done, the fact that many agree is that Kamal is a highly talented actor and that cannot be undermined but when compared to the realistic and deep performances of Naseer things change. What is your call on this folks?

Ileana to take on Kollywood

Posted by SRINU GUNTURU | | Posted On at 2:08 PM

Ileana’s debut in Tamil was not quite a successful attempt. Then she got quite busy in Tollywood and did not have time to think aboutmoving elsewhere. Now the lady seems to have got a plum offer in Kollywood. The buzz is that her next film in Tamil would be opposite the hot star Vikram whose recent film Kanthaswamy (Mallanna in Telugu) has been a top grosser. Another special is that the film will be directed by Vikram Kumar of 13B fame. So this could prove to be a wise choice for Ileana. If this film does well then it might be a successful comeback for the actress and sources reveal that it has been titled ‘24’.

Nayanthara: All for love!

Posted by SRINU GUNTURU | | Posted On at 2:05 PM

And Nayanthara is no different. The actress was particular aboutwatching Prabhu Deva’s directorial debut in Hindi, the Salman Khan-starrer Wanted, in a Mumbai multiplex. Nayan, who was in Kolkatashooting with NTR for his Telugu film Adurs, took the early morning flight to Mumbai on Friday (Sep 18) to be with Prabhu Deva on his big day.

Nayan drove to the multiplex, straight from the airport, to catch the first day, first show of Wanted. Prabhu Deva and producer Boney Kapoor could have easily arranged a special screening for her in one of the preview theatres, but Nayan was particular about watching the film with the public because she wanted to gauge the audience’s reaction.

A source close to the actress says that she really enjoyed the movie, especially the punch dialogues and Prakash Raj’s performance as the villain. Nayan knows to speak and write in Hindi as she studied in the Army schools in north India, as her father was an army officer. And her all-time favourite actor is Salman Khan, who plays a larger-than-life character in the film.

After seeing the film and the audience reaction, Nayan is believed to have told Prabhu, who was going around the multiplex gauging people’s responses, that the film was going to be a super hit and congratulated him.

Don't drag TDP into CM succession issue: TDP

Posted by SRINU GUNTURU | | Posted On Monday, September 21, 2009 at 7:14 AM

Hyderabad,Sep 21:- The main opposition Telugu Desam Party today asked State Congress leaders not to drag the party into the issue of finding a successor to late Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy as it was purely an internal matter of the Congress.

Addressing a press conference here, senior TDP leaders K Yerran Naidu and N Janardhan Reddy took strong objection to the allegation by some State Congress leaders that the TDP was eagerly waiting for mid-term polls in the State and said this only exposed the ''political bankruptcy'' of the ruling party. ''Don't drag the TDP into Congress internal wrangles. We are least bothered as to who should occupy the Chief Minister's chair in the present situation,'' they said.

Stating that the political vaccum in Andhra Pradesh was affecting the state very much, the TDP leaders said the state ministers were duty-bound to fulfill their ministerial responsibilities, finding solutions to people's problems, instead of concentrating on ''power politics.'' They urged the ruling partymen to immediately fill the ''political vaccum'' and concentrate on resolving people's burning issues, including drought, swine flu and price rise, instead of keeping themselves busy in ''power politics.'' Dr Janardhan Reddy denied the charge of some state ministers that the TDP was allegedly wrecking the chances of the late Chief Minister's son Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy to become the Chief Minister.
