About you/ your family

My family is small. My dad Mohan, mom Devika and younger sister Sukanya. My mom is a trained dancer and is running a dance school at Alleppey. I have also learnt Bharathnatyam, and have even completed arangetram. I am also a trained Carnatic music singer.

How did you enter films?

Fazil sir visited our dance school at Alleppey and saw me dancing and approached my mom to permit me to act in films. As I was very young mom heisted initially but due to the reputation that Fazil sir has in Tamil and Malayalam film industry, my mom agreed and that’s how I was cast as Shalini’s niece in Kaadalukku Mariyaadai which was a great hit.

What about your subsequent films in Tamil?

My next film in Tamil was again under Fazil sir’s direction Oru Naal Oru Kanavu with Srikanth and Sonia Agarwal. I was one of the three sisters of Srikanth. I feel very fortunate to be featuring in ‘Katril Varum geetham’ number scored by Ilayaraja sir. Following this, a solo number ‘Paalakkattu Pakkathile’ with Dhanush in Yaaradi Nee Mohini catapulted me to the zones of visibility. Nayanthara appreciated my performance in this number. After this, I had a serious dilemma whether to join the industry or not but have decided to be in the industry for quite some time.


What are your current projects?

There is a big list. Under A V M banner, I am doing Aa aaa yi yee, Mahesh Saranya matrum palar with Vasu sir’s son Shakthi, Abirami Ramanadan’s Panjamirtham, Shankar productions Eerum, Arumugam directed by Suresh Krishna and Vennila kabadi kuzhu. I am donning varied characters in these films. No two films are alike. In addition to these I am getting offers from Kannada, Telugu and Malayalam. But I want to be careful in choosing my scripts and like to concentrate in Tamil right now.

Are you continuing your education? Don’t you think films may affect your studies?

I am doing my B.A. in English literature at Alleppey. I try to balance both education and my career. My college is very cooperative and my classmates help with lessons when I am not attending college. I just want to clear my papers without arrears. I hope I am able to achieve that. I do not have bigger dreams than that.

What are the characters that you would like to essay?

I want to take on roles that would best suit me. Primarily I need to earn a good name in the industry for my professionalism. I will not do any glamorous roles.

What about love and gossip?

Oh no, I am a young girl and I don’t want to be involved in anything that would hamper my career. I love and respect my parents a lot and will never go against their wishes. I like to read ‘kisu kisu’ but please do not write anything about me and I am also sure that I will not give room for that.

Rs 18 for helicopter is too high

It is not new in Kollywood to use helicopters for film shoots. We have seen movies that were made even a decade ago using choppers. The latest to join this bandwagon is Padikadhavan. Though Padikadhavan happens to be the name of Rajinikanth’s yesteryear hit, it is not a remake. Incidentally, the film stars his son-in-law Dhanush in the lead role along with Tamanna. Padikadhavan is directed by Suraj. The latest buzz about this film is that a helicopter has been hired to shoot a stunt sequence in Hyderabad that involves Suman and Tamanna. Sources say that the helicopter was hired from a Bangalore-based company for just two days. Guess what the price would be for just two days? Well, it is an astounding Rs. 18 lakhs! Now, that’s one fight to watch out for!

Simbhu join hands with dhanush

Director Vetrimaran shot to limelight with his debut venture Polladhavan with Dhanush as hero. This film earned both the director and his crew members good acclaim. Subsequent to this he was said to be involved in many projects. However confirmed sources reveal that the successful team of Vetrimaran and Dhanush will once again come together with Shriya as heroine but after the latter completes Padikadhavan and a film for Gemini Film circuit. Meanwhile Silambarasan also is said to be working under the direction of Vetri but only after the director completes Dhanush’s film. When the director was contacted, he said that he will certainly be working with Silambarasan but this will happen only after a couple of projects. Discussions are on and the rest of the cast will be finalized soon.

problems between dhanush and nayantara comes to an end

Yaaradi Nee Mohini is doing good business all over and everyone associated with the film is happy. However there is some confusion regarding the climax of the film and it was said that audience did not quite understand if Nayan and Dhanush had come together or not and there was some kind of ambiguity associated with the ending of the film.
Following this, the crew had re-shot portraying the happy married life of the lead pair and had passed on to the theatres. This, according to the unit, would bring in lucidity to the climax and to the film. Re-shooting to cater to the audience is not something that is new and has been followed time and again in the tinsel town and hopefully, this new sequence would make Yaaradi Nee Mohini more enjoyable.

No more remakes

Jawahar Mithran is on cluud nine and he has every reason to be there. His directorial debut venture Yaaradi Nee Mohini is running successfully and the trade and audience have accepted the film. Mithran, as everyone is aware of, is a product of Selvaraghavan’s school of direction and for his first project he smartly chose his guru’s Telugu film to be remade into Tamil. He is also doubly glad that he was successful in bringing out most of Selva’s flavor into Tamil and has not detoured from the original.

Its karthi after dhanush

Director Suraj has made a mark for himself in Kollywood with his films which combine comedy and action in the right proportion. Currently he is working with Dhanush and Tamanna in Padikadhavan after which he has plans to direct Karthi. There is a rumor in the industry that the Suraj-Karthi combination is a remake of Telugu Vikramadityudu and that the film will be financed by Studio Green who had made Paruthiveeran.

While clarifying this rumor, Suraj says, “Though my next venture after Padikadhavan will be produced by Studio Green, it is not a remake film. I have written the story and screenplay for this film which will have Karthi in the lead role”. It is also understood that after Karthi completes Selva’s Aayirathil Oruvan, he will be doing a Lingusamy’s film and Suraj’s film simultaneously..

YARADI NEE MOHINI VIDEO SONGS

Dhanush : Unexpected

Dhanush was recently interviewed by a popular Tamil weekly in which the actor answered many questions candidly. Some of the questions were like: Would you act as a villain in a Rajinikanth film? Which of the three actresses do you like the most – Trisha, Asin or Nayanthara?

Though Dhanush did not expect the question – Would you dance with Ilaya Thalapathy Vijay for a song… his apprehension was evident when he replied that he would prefer to appear in guest role rather than dance with Vijay as the latter has mastered the art so well and it would be impossible to match his performance.

pappara mittai dhanush

Pappara Mittai, a story narration CD, which is a concept conceived by the Kalanjiam Trust, was released at a function held at Vani Mahal in Chennai. What is so novel about this CD is that it is for the children by the children. Children narrating the tales, which is in the form of music, adds attraction to it.

The album was released by Dhanush and music director G.V. Prakash received the first copy. Addressing the gathering, Dhanush said that in an era where grandparents have neither the time nor the creativity to tell tales, this album Pappara Mittai is definitely a boon. The actor added that he would take the CD home and listen to all the five songs in it with his kid.

G.V. Prakash also applauded the ‘by the children for the children concept.’ Being a musician himself he praised the idea of the CD being in a musical form. He said that it would increase the child’s thinking capacity. Kalanjiam Trust founder Munusamy Raviraj and Maithreyi Educational Trust founder Sridhar were present at the function.

old name is a problem

Remaking old movies have become quite common these days. But another trend cropping up now is naming new films with titles from yesteryear hits, even though the storyline may not have anything to do with the old classic- as in Polladhavan.

Some producers have apparently lodged a complaint against using their film titles to new movies at the Producers’ Council. The administrative committee deliberated upon the issue, and a consensus emerged that this practice should not be encouraged any further.

However, those intending to name their projects should obtain a no objection certificate from the producer or their legal heirs, declared Rama Narayanan, President, Producers’ Council

yaaradee nee mohini gets delayed

Yaaradi Nee Mohini, the Tamil remake of Aadavari Maatalaku Ardhale Verule with Dhanush and Nayanthara is complete and was set to release this week. However it may be delayed due to the introduction of a new song which is the remix of yester year hit ‘Paalakkadu Pakkathile’ in Vietnam Veedu Sundaram. Though the song is ready,the crew is waiting for the nod from Selvaraghavan who is the writer/director of the original Telugu version.

Director of YNM, Jawahar is an old student of Selva who feels that the film can be released only after his guru gives the green signal as he does not want any deviation from the original version. But Selva is in Rajasthan shooting for Aayirathil Oruvan and should be back in town after a while. Hence Jawahar has plans to wait till Selva sees and stamps his approval before it hits the theatres.

Dhanush nayan with valatine

Yaaradi Nee Mohini is all set for a Valentine’s Day release. But first things first. Its audio is slated to be released tomorrow, February 9, 2008 and cassettes and CDs will be available in the shops on the same day. The music of this film is much awaited, as Yuvan Shankar Raja-Dhanush combination in earlier films like Thulluvadho Ilamai and Kadhal Konden were chartbusters. It is expected that the songs will play a vital role in this film’s success.

Jawahar, director Selvaraghavan’s assistant is directing Yaaradi Nee Mohini. Incidentally, it was Selvaraghvan who directed its Telugu version titled Adavari Maatalakku Arthale Verule. Deviating from the action-packed films that he is concentrating off late, Dhanush has once again taken up a pleasant love story.Nayanthara, the female lead, plays an urbane girl in one half and a village belle belonging to a traditional Brahmin family in another.

Mottai boss is ready :Rajini

In film world Rajinikanth is known as someone who is very spiritual and religious. He makes it a point to visit holy places whenever time permits. Recently after the Sivaji function and the announcement of his films Kuselan and Robot, the actor had taken a brief break and was at the Himalayas to perform meditation and to visit the caves of his guru Babaji.

Now after his return, he was seen at Tirupathi along with his wife, two daughters, son-in-law Dhanush and his grand son Yathra.As expected there was some kind of excitement among the devotees which was put to rest soon and Rajini's family had a good darshan of Lord Balaji. It is reported that the Boss's family was at Tirupathi in connection with the tonsuring ceremony of his grandson Yathra. It is a known fact in this part of the country that the child's first hair cut would be at a temple and as it appears Super star's family is also following the same ritual.
