On Diwali day (Oct 27), it is fireworks on the small screen.
A big clash is taking place as market leader Sun TV is premiering the Rajinikanth blockbuster Chandramukhi (2005), 42 months after its theatrical release.
The same day, almost same time arch rival Kalaignar TV is premiering Ajit’s Billa (2007), 10 months after its release!
It is battle royal on television, as Chandramukhi is an all time favourite family film and stars Rajinikanth, the superstar of Tamil cinema. It is sure to garner record TRP’s, though skeptics say the film has already been shown in Telugu on Gemini TV and in Hindi on ZEE TV. Meanwhile Jaya TV is showing Kamal Hassan’s Mumbai Xpress for Diwali
Ajit’s Billa is the actor’s most successful film in his career and was a super hit. It is comparatively fresh as the film had its theatrical release in December 2007. The young viewers at home will root for this stylish film, which also has the famous Nayanthara bikini act!
In a way it is Nayan versus Nayan on television, as she is the Chandramukhi heroine, while on Diwali big screen she will call the shots with Aegan!

Vaaranam Aayiram postponed to Nov 14
cinemanews,Breaking News! News has just come in that that Gautham Vasudeva Menon’s magnum opus Vaaranam Aayiram, will not light up this Diwali on October 27!
This has come as a major disappointment for Surya and Gautham fans across the globe who were eager to watch the film during the festival weekend.
According to sources in the trade, the film has been postponed to November 14, nearly three weeks after the festival.
The main reason is that the trade on the film, selling of distribution areas is going slow. Added to that in smaller stations all the good screens has been taken over by Aegan and Seval.
The Telugu rights of the film are yet to be finalized. The Kerala distributor has made it clear he will release the film only two weeks after the release of the Malayalam mega multi-starrer Twenty:20, opening on October 30.
The overseas distributor of the film has to get theatres, as Aegan has grabbed all the screens this Diwali. Two big Tamil films cannot be accommodated at the same time in FMS area.
It is a very good decision taken by Gautham and his new partner in “Cloud Nine”, who will be marketing the film in Tamilnadu. A solo release on Nov 14 worldwide will ensure more screens and a bumper opening.
Audio of Anantha Thandavam launched
cinemanews, The lead pair of Tamannaah and new boy Siddharth along with Rishi who plays an important role (villain?), director Gandhi Krishna, cameraman ‘Jeeva’ Shankar and music director GV Prakash Kumar were present to meet the media and release the audio.
First things first- The audio rocks. The first song Pattu Poochi…. sung by Naresh Iyer is soft and melodious while the second song which is GV’s personal favourite Kallil Aadum… is hummable.
It was an informal get-together arranged by Nandini of Sony BMG at a coffee shop which was cramped but like Tamannaah said: “ Everybody is talking about space constraints but I feel nice as I feel very near to the media and there is a certain amount of closeness among all of us”.
Director Gandhi Krishna was all praise about late writer Sujatha’s story which inspired him to make this film and producer Aascar Films who had tremendous faith in him. He said: “In fact, I consider Aantha Thandavam as my first film and it is a dedication to Sujatha. I have not changed anything in his story including the names of characters and locations where the story happens from Papanasam to New York. I thank GV Prakash for fantastic songs, Vairamuthu for meaningful lyrics, and my lead actors for giving life to the characters”.
New boy Siddharth, a computer engineer was a bit tensed but thanked the entire unit especially director Gandhi Krishna for giving him a dream debut. Small screen actor Rishi gave a small speech followed by GV Prakash but it was the demure Tamannaah who took everyone by surprise by her confident speech about her experience of working with the team of Anantha Thandavam.

cinemanews,Madhavan is the golden boy of Tamil film industry. He could do no wrong after his dream debut in Mani Ratnam's Alaipayuthe. And after Gautham Menon's minty cool Minnale he became hot among the teen brigade. They called him Maddy and were mad about him. The college going audience liked his first four films - Alaipayuthe, Ennavale, Minnale and Dumm Dumm Dumm. They were all fun movies- pleasant, cute and fairly wacky.
But somewhere along the line, Madhavan decided to do serious roles in K.Balachandar's Paarthale Paravasam and his mentor Mani Ratnam's Kannathil Muthamittal, both the films bombed at the box-office, though Kannathil Muthamittal was critically acclaimed.
Madhavan made his debut in Hindi with Rehna Hai Terre Dil Mein (RHTDM), the remake of Minnale. His second film in Hindi was the musical love story Dil Vil Pyar Vyar.
Along came Lingusamy's Run in Tamil, which has become one of the biggest blockbusters of 2002. The audience loved Shiva, the character played by Maddy, right from the moment he appeared on the screen singing Theradi Veediyil Devathai... and his love at first sight with the heroine.
Madhavan proved with Run that he was not only the so-sweet-Maddy, but could also do action scenes with conviction. He was pitted against the living legend Kamalhassan in Anbe Sivam followed by films like Aethiree, Aayitha Ezhuthu, Priyasakhi, Thampi, Rendu, Arya, Evano Oruvan and Vazhthukkal.
In Hindi, Maddy had a second innings with Ramji Londonwale, Delhi Heights, Rang De Basanti, Guru and the recent Mumbai Meri Jaan. He has completed Naan Aval Athu and Guru En Aalu in Tamil and is doing Sunglass, Sikandar, Three Idiots, Teen Patti, My Name is Khan in Hindi.

Bipasha to break stereotype of Kashmiri women
cinemanews,After corporate, Bipasha Basu once again gets real for her role in Rahul Dholakia's hard hitting drama Lamha and she says the biggest challenge for her is to break the stereotypical image of Kashmiri girls in Hindi movies.
"When you think of a Kashmiri girl in our movies, what comes to mind is a fair-skinned, light-eyed girl. But I want to disprove that myth. The pre-conceived notions have to be overcome," said Bipasha, whose performance in Bachna Ae Haseeno got her much praise.
Bipasha had asked her producers to invite a born-and-bred Kashmiri girl to Mumbai to study her body language, speech patterns and mannerisms.
"I've never done a film like this before. The role requires me to be someone else altogether. I've to change my entire personality. And for this I needed help. I wanted to play the character the way girls really are today in Kashmir. Very basic.
"I've done a bit role in another authentic film - Prakash Jha's Apaharan. For that matter, Madhur Bhandarkar's corporate was very real and so is Rituparno Ghosh's Sab Charitra Kalpanik. But Lamha is something else."
The actress is hell bent to look convincing in the role.
"I think I'm going to be more keen on getting it right than the director. Going to Kashmir and getting to know the local way of life was difficult. All said and done it's still not entirely safe in Kashmir.
"My boyfriend John (Abraham) shot in strife-torn Afghanistan for Kabul Express. Now it's my turn in Kashmir."
Bipasha's co-star in Lamha is Kunal Kapoor.
"We did a film together recently, Bachna Ae Haseeno. But we had no scenes together. Still we ran into each other all the time during the shooting.
"Sanjay Dutt is also there. He's a nice man. We share a good working relationship. He's very protective and sweet," Bipasha said.
Asked how it was working with Dholakia, she said: "I've known Rahul Dholakia for years - long before he made Parzania. In fact, he had offered me his first film Kehta Hai Dil Baar Baar. He's a man of a few simple words. The story in Lamha is very powerful and real. It's a hard-hitting look at present-day Kashmir."
The actress said that she had been to Jammu and Kashmir as a child, but things have changed drastically since then.
"This was long before militancy occurred. This is a different Kashmir I'm going to. We'll be learning the language and by the time I start shooting, I'm thoroughly convinced I'll look convincing. The director wants to shoot in sync sound. But I don't think that's advisable. We'll tell the story of Kashmir in a layman's language. It's not going to be an arty film."
