Mysskin To Direct John Abraham

Mysskin, the man behind the surprise hit Anjaathe, may be having a tough time releasing his second movie Nandhalala that also marks his acting debut, but he seems to have convinced Bollywood hunk John Abraham with one of his stories. Word has it that Mysskin narrated an action script to John who was pretty impressed.
Mysskin will now direct John after completing Yuddham Sei with Cheran, which is in post-production stage. This untitled Bollywood flick will be produced by UTV Motion Pictures and will go on floors in January 2011.

Vikram in Venice Film Festival

Cheeyan Vikram is sill basking in the glory of ‘Raavanan’. The Mani Ratnam directed film has taken Vikram to frontiers beyond Bollywood, Kollywood and all other Indian woods.

Presently Vikram is in Venice with Mani Ratnam and Suhasini for the screening of ‘Raavan’ in the out-of-competition category at the 67th Venice Film Festival happening from September 1-11. At the festival Mani Ratnam was honoured with ‘Jaeger-Le Coultre Glory to the Filmmaker Award’.

After the award ceremony, the festival premiere of ‘Raavanan’ was screened the Sala Grande Palazzo Del Cinema on Monday. Vikram, Mani Ratnam and Suhasini Mani Ratnam walked the red carpet to attend the premiere.

The premiere was to be attended by all the main cast of ‘Raavanan’. But Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan could not attend for personal reasons. The reason said is that the film festival is sponsored by an international watch brand that is a competitor to another watch brand Abi and Ash jointly promotes. So they heeded a request by their brand bosses and stayed back. Valid.

Nagaram Music launch

“Filmmakers should create awareness among the people on various issues and propagate rationalism. Tamil movies should reflect the culture of the land”, Chief Minister M Karunaidhi has said.

He was speaking at the audio launch of ‘Nagaram’, a film directed by Sundar C and produced by Kushboo, in Chennai Saturday evening. “There were days when movies made in Tamil failed to hail the language and the land,” he said.

“Even great poet Bharathidasan penned a verse taking a dig at such filmmakers,” the Chief Minister said and added: “But things have changed and movies these days reflect the culture well. A song from ‘Nagaram’ which was screened here now is an apt example to it.”

Urging Kushboo and Sundar (who has also played the lead role in the film) to come out with more such movies, Karunanidhi said that he would always support bold attempts in films.

The first copy of Nagaram's music album, which has songs tuned by Thaman S, was launched by Karunanidhi and received by Kamal Haasan in the presence of Tamil Film Producers Council president Rama Narayanan, actress Anuya, Sundar and Kushboo.

A song and a comedy track were screened besides some live performance. Others who took part in the event include Deputy Chief Minister M K Stalin, Rajya Sabha member Kanimozhi, FEFSI president V C Guhanathan, Vairamuthu, 'Editor’ Mohan, 'Jayam' Ravi, K S Srinivasan and Sivasakthi Pandian.
