Sandalwood's Challenging Star Darshan has now sidelined Boss in favour of his other film Shaurya which releases in July

                          Challenging Star Darshan


Simple, shy and modest about his achievements. That's Darshan, who was mobbed by his fans in Mysore, where he showed uo for the muhurat of his latest film, Prince. "It's always a pleasure to see fans throng to see you. My fans are everything to me and I'm acting for them,'' he says. 
And as much as Darshan has tried to avoid  controversy, there is the delay of Boss to contend with. The actor even postponed the releases of his other films so that they wouldn't clash with Boss. ''It's a waste of time talking about Boss and Ramesh Yadav (the producer). I've decided not to burden my other producers now. Shaurya will see a July release, and will be followed by Sarathi,'' he says. What does Darshan have to say to the reports of Ramesh accusing him of  withholding the negatives of Boss? ''the unit members have kept the negatives as they haven't received their payments, but it's more newsworthy to say that Idid it. I let that go, hoping they'd at least get paid,'' he says. Darshan is now looking forward to starting work on Prince, and will join the film's unit today. The Challenging star is teaming up again with Om prakash for this film, after the duo delivered hits like Mandya and Yodha. ''We share a good rapport. He's the best  when it comes to action films. He acknowledges you do a good job, which is what I need from a director,''he he explains.

Having the last laugh Amitabh Bachchan

                      Amitabh Bachchan
wrote a funny dialogue from a south Indian film on a social-networking site. It became an instant hit among his fans, and many put it up as their status message. But none of them bothered to give credit to the person who first wrote it. And the funniest part is that, five days after AB started the joke, it came back to him. Fans started sending the joke to Bachchan Senior asking him for his take on it, without realising that he was the one who actually started it. We talk about IPR rights in a country where even AB's work is passed off by fans as their own.

Vishnuvardhana isn't based on Sahasa Simha - Vishnuvardhana Kannada Movie News

Film-maker Dwarkish says the title of his Sudeep-starrr is only a tribute to the late Vishnuvardhan
It's nothing new for a film to run into trouble before it's gone on the floors. But it's another story when the title of the film causes an uproar even before it's been registered. That's the case with Dwarkish's first film in  six years. Which he plans to title Vishnuvardhana as a tribute to the late actor.

Reports say that the film will reveal details about the Sahasa Simha's personal life, something that Vishnuvardhan's family has objected to. However, Dwarkish - who was a good frind of Vishnuvardhan and whose last film, Apthamithra starred the actor - vehemently denies these reports. The film's "There's a  misconception's personal life. But that's not the case. Uncle (Vishnuvardhan) was a big hero and we thought the title would be a fitting tribute to the person we all love."

The film, says Yogish, will be a commercial one and will star Sudeep. "The her's father is big fan of Vishnuvardhan and he names his son (Sudeep) Vishnuvardhana," reveals Yogish, who says that he and his father have already met Vishnuvardhan's daughter, Keerthi, and spoke to her about the title. "She was convinced. Sudeep, myself and my father will meet aunty (Bharathi Vishnuvardhan)  very soon and talk to her in detaile before we register the title,"says Yogish.

The dwarjish family, however, is upset about the whole incident. "We've been part of the industry for 20 years and we are not here to create controversies. The public would love to watch the film when they see that it's been titled after their favourite hero.

Rembering MJ - A Year After The Death Of The King Of Pop, Abdul Halder & Rock Band MLTR reminise about MJ

A Year After The Death Of The King Of Pop, Abdul Halder & Rock Band MLTR reminise about MJ

Abduul Halder, Designer:

I designed seven costumes for MJ on his trip to India in 2002. He wanted costumes of the royal families of several erstwhile princely states of India for his album, Ghost. Her trid costumes from Punjab, the nawab of Luknow, Jaipur, Udaipur, Bengal, Akbari and Maharaja of Gujarat, and liked the Luknowi one the most.

Roberta  Swedien, a classical pianist, Whose father Bruce Swedien was a sound producer for MJ's songs, used to wear my clothes for her concerts. It was she who referred me to Malhotra, to have designed for MJ. I also made a miniature lehenga choli for his daughter, Paris, and a kurta pajama in royal biue for his son, Prince. I bought him bangles and bindis, and his kids brocade shawls nad miniature auto rickshaws. His sense of style was unique. His Frinds used to call him glove and socks. He loved India, our cuisines and the spices.

After his 2002 visit, I was in touch with him for a year-and-a-half. After that, he was out of sync, unwell for a while and then, there were the cases against him. People always tried to misuse him. He was very emotional and lonely, and no one but he could  be blanmed for that. In fact, Janet Jackson was the only one he was close to.
I was his fan Sinece I was Five. So, it was more of  a shock when I was approached to design for him. I live with his music. So, it doesn't feel like he's no more. My favouite MJ track is Liberian Girl from the album Bad.

Mikkel Lentz, lead guitarist of Michael Learns to Rock:

Our band was named after Michael Jackson. I remember his records. He was a very special and funny guy. We were influenced by his music. My favourite MJ track is Thriller.

Raavanan mademe Confident about Endhiran - Aishwarya Rai Interview

 Aishwarya Rai Bachchan talks about her role in mani ratnam's latest offering

 Beera might be hogging the limelight with his over-the-top behaviour and outlandish expressions; and then there's the cool and suave Dev.But Ragini is expected to bring some much-needed grace to the on-screen proceedings in Raavan and Raavana.Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, widely described as India's most beautiful woman, got to play Ragini not once, but twice, in Mani Ratnam's double bonanza.

FROM IRVAR TO RAAVANAN 
 One of the reasons that I came into cinema was because of Mani Ratnam. And when I got an opportunity to act in has film for my debut, I grabbed it. I still remember the first Tamil word Iuttered on screen -Pesanum. I guess I haven't stopped talking since.

Endhiran V/S Ravanan

There's absolutely no comparison between the two films. They are distinctly different products. But the more worked with Mani, the more confident I became about Endhiran. In the intial Schedules for the Rajini-starrer, I used to insist that they give me my dialogues a day before so that I got time to practise them. But, once I put some work into Ravanan, things became a lot easier in the lines in Endhiran unit. I became confident of pulling off my Tamil lines in Endhiran with ease. The nevousness about saying Tamil lines is almost gone.

It will, hower, be a portrayed in a humorous way and be a pure entertainer. If People want Sleze, they can always log on to the Internet," he adds.
