Young music composer Thaman Sai is on cloud nine for two reasons. One, he will soon be joining the big league. He’ll be part of the Kamal Haasan-KS Ravikumar-Udhayanidhi combo for their comedy caper Yaavarum Kelir. Second, his recent album Mun Dhinam Partheney is a hit and two of the songs are already chartbusters. The movie, produced by Seventh Channel, has newcomers Sanjay, Ekta, Lizna and Pooja in the lead.
Though Thaman isn’t too forthcoming about Kamal’s project, he is delighted that Mun Dhinam… is receiving accolades from Tollywood too. “I was thrilled when ace music director Devi Sri Prasad called and said he thought the MDP songs were fresh and peppy. He told me, ‘I appreciate your guts in scoring for an experimental film like MDP and you’ve done it with conviction,’” disclosed an excited Thaman.
He went on to discuss the most challenging number in the film. “Director Magizh Thirumeni wanted Saral Pudhu Saral to have a jazzy effect. Unless you know to handle jazz, it can become messy. What made it tough was that I had to walk a tightrope by mixing and matching western music with Tamil lyrics!”
It’s being said that Kamal thought of Thaman for his film after listening to his Tamil and Telugu output.
Hot actress Illeana speaks about the role of an actress in the success and failure of a movie in Tollywood. She says, "I dont understand why a movie becomes Hit or a Flop. We act according to the requirement of a director. Irrespective of the result of the movie, we get praises from audience if the characterisation is good. Thats why I choose proper characters not a story. I rejected some offers in Bollywood too due to this."
Bollywood actor Aamir Khan, who had quit a government appointed panel to examine proposed amendments to the Copyright Act, Friday withdrew his resignation.
In a letter to Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister Kapil Sibal, Aamir said, "Sir, I have given a lot of thought to your request to take back my resignation. I have also read the letter forwarded by other members reposing faith on my integrity… I am withdrawing my resignation."
"The initiative taken by you (Sibal) is very important. It is a welcome step by you and your ministry," a HRD ministry official quoted Aamir as saying.
Aamir had Wednesday resigned from the 10-member committee following reported differences with committee member and lyricist Javed Akhtar.
The actor had said that his fellow members had attempted to attack him in public "by printing lies" about him "thereby turning the attention away from a genuine debate about copyright issues".(IANS)
Hrithik Roshan has just returned from Singapore, where he’d gone to see his knee doctor. The actor’s knee has been troubling him for over two years. Sources reveal the actor has gone for diagnosis on his knee before he restarts shooting for the final schedule of Bhansali’s Guzaarish.
A source reveals, "Hrithik was in Singapore for a day. He’s gone there for his knee treatment. Now he begins shooting for Guzaarish. He’s also not been working out regularly because of the injury. He wanted the go-ahead from the doctors give him a go-ahead before he gets back to the gym and strenuous scenes." The actor even mentioned about his Singapore trip on a social networking site, "In S’pore for a day treating my knee! Wish me luck guys! Getting BACK in ACTION !! Fingers crossed!!
His knee injury has a major cause of frustration for the actor. Until now whatever scenes he has shot for Guzaarish, required him to be in a wheelchair, so there was hardly any stress on the knees. But in the second schedule, he has to be up and about on his feet.
When contacted Rakesh Roshan denies that his son had gone to see the knee doctor in Singapore, "Hrithik has gone to Singapore for a business meet for a day, for a photo shoot. His knee is fine".
