After going through a lot of turmoil and emotional pain, Kamal Haasan managed to see the release of his film ‘Vishwaroopam’ and thanks to his goodwill and the quality of the film, it has been raking in some very good collections. Now that ‘Vishwaroopam’ has fallen on track the attention has fallen on Kamal’s next film.    Recently it was announced that Kamal will be doing a Hollywood film and few details have come. The film is titled as ‘All Are Kin’ and the Tamil translation is ‘Yavarum Kelir’. Kamal is joining hands with Larry Osbourne, the producer of the Hollywood blockbuster series ‘Lord Of The Rings’.    It is heard that Osbourne was impressed with ‘Vishwaroopam’ and that’s what prompted him to associate with Kamal. He is hoping that this new venture of theirs will focus on Indian history and culture. With someone like Kamal in the team, Osbourne will not be disappointed.

With the festival season around the corner, TV channels are on a hectic planning to grab as much eyeballs as possible. Festival days usually carry many special programmes and exclusive celebrity interviews. The main attraction of the channels would almost always be the special world TV premiere movie telecast.

Talking about competition, we can't let out Sun TV. The channel has pulled out all the stops to ensure that it comes out victorious in this season. Word is that they have acquired the satellite rights of hit films like like Naan Ee and Sundarapandian. Other films that have gone under the network’s wings are Kalakalappu, Mirattal, Paagan, Pizza and the yet to be released Nadula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom.

Aishwarya Dhanush, daughter of superstar Rajinikanth, and Shruti Haasan, daughter of ‘Ulaganayagan’ Kamal Haasan, are coming together for the film titled 3. Incidentally, the film also marks the directorial debut of Aishwarya, who has assisted brother-in-law and director Selvaraghavan in the making of a couple of films including Aayirathil Oruvan.

Aishwarya directs her husband and actor Dhanush in 3 and has cast her close friend Shruti as the heroine opposite Dhanush. The film’s advertisements and stills showing Dhanush and Shruti together, which appear in the print media, have already created a buzz in the industry.

Both Kamal and Rajini are living legends of Tamil cinema. As such, the coming together of their offsprings is seen with great interests by those within and outside the film industry. On their party, both Shruti and Aishwarya are hoping that their fathers would visit them at the shooting spot to encourage them but sadly that hasn’t happened so far.

Even the crew of the film is waiting with bated breath as the visit of Rajini and Kamal to the sets would provide them a rare opportunity to see both the legends at close quarters. It remains to be seen when Rajini, taking rest for the past 70 days after returning from Singapore, and Kamal, who is busy with the making of Viswaroopam, would find time to visit their respective daughters!

The actor dishes out nuggets on organic farming & his upcoming films, including one in Punjabi
Between delectable bites of soft idli brushed with coconut chutney, uthapams peppered with red chillies, buttered toast and half-fry egg white omelette tossed in green chillies and curry leaves, and cups of palette cleansing green tea, actor Jackie Shroff strikes a scrumptious conversation. A breakfast meeting is what he prefers, and picks the sunniest spot at Taj Chandigarh’s Club Lounge that overlooks a lush green patch from its fifth floor. “We have such crazy working hours, and it really doesn’t work if we are not early risers or follow a routine,” says Shroff, looking dashing in a pair of Jodhpurs teamed with a neon white kurta and his trademark scarf around his neck. He sure is the original “style bhai” and the salt and pepper hair and beard only compliment him.
It’s been a crazy year, he shares. “Lot of work and travel,” he counts Hindi films on the anvil including Dhoom 3 and Aurangzeb, one with south Indian actor and director Revathi, Dirty Politics with KC Bokadia, Rajnikanth’s period epic drama Kochadaiyan, a film with Karan Bhutani (he was Tigmanshu Dhulia’s assistant director) and another one with Rahul Mitra, (producer of Sahib, Biwi aur Gangster). But the one that is making news here is his Punjabi debut, in Sameep Kang’s Lucky Di Unlucky Story. “I play a businessman who is after something that has been taken from him. He is quite a grey character,” says Shroff, who has been increasingly experimenting with regional cinema. “I am like a parrot. I listen and spill the dialogues out verbatim, although the toughest language for me was Malayalam. Now, I am waiting to do an Oriya and Nepali film.” If it is not movies, then Shroff’s other consuming passion involves working on an 18 acre film city in Gujarat and organic farming. In fact, he is on his way to Dehradun to meet up with environmentalist Vandana Shiva who is into organic farming. “With her help, my farmer friend Ramesh Dhebe and I will experiment on a patch of land in Mahabaleshwar,” says Shroff, who has also introduced Aamir Khan to it. “I think Aamir did a fabulous job with Satyamev Jayate. We all talk, but who comes up with a solution. The fertilisers have killed our soil, even bees are nowhere to be seen. How will cross- pollination happen? We need to do something at our level for we need to leave a healthy legacy for our children.” It’s hard not to agree with him.
