Samir Karnik gets Oscar invite for 'Heroes' script

Director Samir Karnik is over the moon after he got an Oscars invite for a copy of the screenplay of 'Heroes' for its archives.

Karnik received the letter from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, informally known as the Oscars, Friday morning.

An elated Karnik told IANS: 'I'm sending them the script right away. I can't believe that the Oscars archives has invited our screenplay. Maybe because it is an original screenplay. That's why they invited it.'

The scripts in the Oscars collection are made accessible for research purposes to student filmmakers, writers and actors.

Impressed with Preity Zinta's performance in 'Heroes', Karnik is all set to cast her in his next film 'Formula No.44'.

'She was wonderful in 'Heroes'. Now we're keen on casting her in a diametrically opposite role of an action-heroine in 'Formula No.44'. She has never done action before. She'll be quite cool in it because she's half a tomboy.'

He has already finalised Bobby Deol, Vatsal Seth and Sohail Khan for the new film.

'I've already written half the script. My core team is already in place. And Binod Pradhan will be my cinematographer as long as he wants to work with me. Right now my producer Vikas Kapoor is keen on getting the project in place. We're co-producing the film.'

'Thenavattu' strictly for the brain dead

'Thenavattu'
Cast: Jeeva, Poonam Bajwa, Ganja Karuppu, Ravi Kale
Music: Srikant Deva
Cinematography: Vetri
Direction: V.V. Kathir

'Thenavattu' (chutzpah) is a tale strictly for the brain dead. For the second time in a little over two months Sun Pictures have come up with a film that seems sillier than their controversial maiden venture.

Director V.V Kathir has filched a few scenes from earlier hits without any sense whatsoever, with ridiculous results.

The film is all about a rustic blacksmith Kootai (Jeeva) who makes sickles for a living.

For no apparent reason, the protagonist lands up in Chennai with a sidekick (Ganja Karuppu) in tow to manufacture the deadly weapons for a gangster Kailasam (Ravi Kale).

Suddenly a buxom belle Gayathri (Poonam Bajwa), a music teacher, enters the scene and promptly falls in love with the sickle-maker.

Soon, there are others - an assorted bunch of politicians, cops and others who drag the story towards a climax wherein the gangster's son molests Gayathri resulting in a vendetta.

The senseless storyline makes one wonder how Jeeva, who has been doing only offbeat sensible films, accepted this assignment.

The cast, direction, music and comedy deserve to be ignored.

Michael Jackson 'converts to Islam and changes name to Mikaeel'

The singer, who was raised as a Jehovah's Witness, converted to Islam in a ceremony at a friend's house in Los Angeles.

He is said to have sat on the floor and worn a small hat while an imam officiated.

According to The Sun, the ceremony took place while Jackson, 50, was recording an album at the home of Steve Porcaro, a keyboard player who composed music on his Thriller album.

The former Jackson 5 star was counselled by David Wharnsby, a Canadian songwriter, and Phillip Bubal, a producer, who have both converted.

A source said Jackson had appeared a "bit down" and added: "They began talking to him about their beliefs, and how they thought they had become better people after they converted. Michael soon began warming to the idea.

"An imam was summoned from the mosque and Michael went through the shahada, which is the Muslim declaration of belief."

Last year his brother, Jermaine Friday, suggested Jackson would convert having taken an interest in Islam since Friday's conversion in 1989.

"When I came back from Mecca I got him a lot of books and he asked me lots of things about my religion and I told him that it's peaceful and beautiful," said Friday.

"He read everything and he was proud of me that I found something that would give me inner strength and peace.

"I think it is most probable that Michael will convert to Islam.

"He could do so much, just like I am trying to do. Michael and I and the word of God, we could do so much."

Mani Ratnam chooses his Hanuman














Mani Ratnam’s project with Aishwarya Rai, Vikram, Prabhu, Priyamani and Karthik is shaping up really well. It was mentioned in these columns just a few days ago that Prabhu plays the role of Vibheeshanan in the film. The actor, who is seen sporting a beard these days, has raised many an eyebrow over his role.

Now the buzz is that Karthik, who had been in hibernation for long, will play the role of a forest officer. In terms of the epic Ramayana, on which the story is based on, Karthik’s character is akin to Hanuman’s role. It may be recalled that Mani Ratnam churned out two mega hits in the past with Karthik. One is Mouna Ragam in which he played a guest role and the other is Agni Natchathiram where he co-starred with Prabhu.

Ameer to remake ‘Bale Pandiya’ with Ajith
















Ajith Kumar has been an actor who doesn’t get down with several flops on lines. He has the ability of taking back to the way of success with just one film and thats his USP. Right now, he isn’t so happy with ‘Aegan’ directed by Raju Sundaram as the film has witnessed moderate results. However, he is so desolate about Gowtham stepping out of his project. On the pars, he is quite excited since Sivaji Productions that was supposed to churn out his project with Gowtham is in talks with Dharani to direct the next film. As everyone knows, his 50th film would be directed by Venkat Prabhu who shot to fame as a director with Chennai 600028 and Saroja.

Ameer has planned to remake the yesteryear comedy classic of Sivaji Ganeshan titled ‘Bale Pandiya’ starring Savithri in female lead and M.R. Radha in a prominent role. Ajith has shown his consent in gearing up with this project and nothing has been confirmed till the date….

Southern Siren Sada to debut in Bollywood

With the entry of Bollywood heroines down South, many began to wonder what would happen to our native beauties. But now with the success of top heroines like Genelia (Telugu), Asin and Sada (both from Kollywood) making a mark with their released and yet-to-be-released films, Southern beauties have definitely started to arrive -- in Bollywood.

Sada, one of the top-rung heroines from the South with films in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada, is all set to burst on Hindi screens very soon. Though not in the limelight like Asin, she was noticed in Aparichit, the Hindi dubbed version of Anniyan (Tamil), which swept the box-office a couple of years ago.

Based on her performance in Aparichit, she signed up for four Hindi movies, of which Khallballi -- Fun Unlimited (with Nikhil Dwivedi as the hero) will be her first release on November 28th. The other films she has signed are Click opposite Shreyas Talpade, Love Khichdi starring Randeep Hooda and Raja Bundela's Sirf Romance -- Love By Chance.

Director Ajay Chandok, whose first directorial venture was Nehlle Pe Dehla (Sanjay Dutt, Saif Ali Khan, Bipasha Basu), commented, "While hunting for the right face in this film which is dominated by close to three dozen comic actors, Sada fit the bill perfectly. She had to be someone who would stand out in the crowd.

She gets the glamour quotient with her role as Nikhil Dwivedi's romantic interest." In the meanwhile, Asin is eagerly awaiting the release of Ghajini (in the making for over 2 years), the movie for which Aamir Khan beefed up his physique, and she's also shooting for London Dreams starring Ajay Devgan and Salman Khan.

Kangana trapped by dirty people

While her Fashion has released and turned into a box office success, Kangna Ranaut too is happy with all the accolades coming her way in spite of Priyanka Chopra being the central protagonist. As she now gears up to participate in the promotional campaign of Raaz – The Mystery Continues, she gets candid about the months gone by.

She makes a shocking revelation that she was surrounded by 'dirty people' who tried to harm her physically as well as mentally. Over to the pretty girl who doesn't mince words while disclosing what went wrong in her life over the months gone by.

"To be honest, I got everything very soon in my life but personally my life was going through too much of trauma. I was really trapped by dirty people and they wouldn't let me concentrate on my work. They tried to harm me both physically as well as mentally," states Kangana while refusing to name any individual(s).

"Those were indeed bad times. My sister went through an accident (exactly two years back her sister Rangoli was attacked with acid, allegedly by a rejected suitor). So I had so many issues to take care of. And sometimes your work is not always your priority. So I kind of took time to sort out my personal life and then later on I got back to my work," Kangana talks about the period preceding Fashion, a Madhur Bhandarkar film and Mohit Suri directed Raaz – The Mystery Continues which she signed after a hiatus.

Promotion of Raaz – The Mystery Continues has now kick started and the songs would be unveiled on the satellite channels soon. The film features Kangana along with Emraan Hashmi and Adhyayan Suman and is directed by Mohit Suri.
