Bollywood mega superstar Amitabh Bachchan is all set to open a women’s collage in Barabanki district in the name of his gorgeous daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Bachchan seems to be giving a new twist to his intention of buying land after the Allahabad High Court decided to condone the alleged fraud and forgery through which 2.5 big has (about 70,000 sq ft) of government land was allotted to him during the Mulayam Singh Yadav regime. The court had cancelled that allotment last year.

Now Bachchan has bought some land from private farmers in Barabanki district's Daulatpur village, about 40 km from state capital Lucknow, on which he is setting up a high school for girls.

Bachchan professes that his sole intention in buying land was to build an educational institution.

Today, he is to lay the foundation stone for the women’s collage l to be named after his daughter-in-law Ash.

Hectic preparations are on at the 10-bigha plot that Big B recently purchased from different farmers in Daulatpur village to build what has been christened the 'Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Girls Intermediate College.



Bachchan has never explained what attracted him to Barabanki - a place with which he does not have even a remote connection. Why Bachchan changed his original plan of naming the collage after his eminent poet father, the late Harivansh Rai Bachchan, is not known either.

Bachchan is to be accompanied by wife Jaya Bachchan , son Abhishek Bachchan and Ash.

To add political spice to the show, there will be Bachchan family friend Amar Singh, the Samajwadi Party general secretary who was instrumental in getting Bachchan the earlier government land allotment in violation of laws.

Some unidentified persons, allegedly Chiranjeevi fans, attacked the car of Dr Rajasekhar, when he was going somewhere along with his family. They reportedly attacked the car with stones and iron rods. Besides Dr Rajasekhar, his daughter Sivani suffered injuries. Jeevitha took them to Apollo Hospital.

After getting the treatment, the children were left at home while Jeevitha and Rajasekhar went to Punjagutta police station and lodged a complaint of attempt to murder. Later they proceeded to a television channel office, and alleged that the attacking someone personally is not good to anyone. The attack is raising doubts as Chiranjeevi did not condemn the attack even after four to five hours.

But why he was attacked. The reason behind the attack is — Dr Rajasekhar in an interview at Bhimavaram commented that Chiranjeevi has no experience in politics and even if he launches a party, he doesn't want to join the party. However, he said he would also enter into politics but at an appropriate time. These comments raised tempers among Chiranjeevi fans, which attacked Rajasekhar at Hyderabad. Elsewhere in the State, Chiranjeevi fans burnt the effigy of Rajasekhar and staged protests by raising anti-Rajasekhar slogans.

Does the Government have a duty to discourage smoking? And if so, then how effectively is the Government doing it? That’s the key issue Karan Thapar discusses with Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss on Devil’s Advocate.


Ramadoss said Shah Rukh Khan should not have smoked in the stands while watching a cricket match in Mumbai. He also said that Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan could learn a thing or two from superstar Rajinikant regarding smoking onscreen.


Excerpts from the interview:


Karan Thapar: Given the confusion over the Government’s position on smoking let me perhaps begin by knowing your position on the subject. Do you believe the Government has the duty to discourage smoking?


Anbumani Ramadoss: When I said movies should not have smoking scenes we have statistics which show that 52 per cent of children have their first puff because of movie celebrities.


Karan Thapar: Do you think Shah Rukh Khan should have smoked at a cricket match?


Anbumani Ramadoss: Absolutely not. What was the necessity?


Karan Thapar: If Rajinikant can agree not to smoke in his movies do you think Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan should make a similar commitment?


Anbumani Ramadoss: Easily they could do it. Without a doubt…


Karan Thapar: Rajinikant said that he did it because you made a personal appeal to him, would you make a similar personal appeal...


Anbumani Ramadoss: I have already made appeals to Shah Rukh Khan and others. But I would be happy to do it again and through you and CNN-IBN, I again say: Please don't smoke in your movies Mr Shah Rukh Khan.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is slated to star opposite Tamil actor Rajinikanth in filmmaker Shankar’s science fiction project “Robot”.

"Yes, I have been offered the role and I'm very excited about it," the former Miss World said. "Working on the schedule has begun and they (filmmakers) are trying to make it happen."

Bachchan, who also featured in Shankar’s 1998 film “Jeans”, said she was excited to finally get to work with south Indian superstar Rajinikanth.

"There had been so many offers in the past that tried to bring us together but I hope this works out fine."

The 34-year-old actress said she has also been approached for international projects "Bhopal Movie", a film based on the 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy, and Sir Ben Kingsley's "Shah Jahan".

"'Bhopal Movie' really got me excited…but it is going through the process of scripting," Bachchan said.

"Sir Ben Kingsley's vision of the subject is very unique," she said while speaking of "Shah Jahan". "He has shared with me his passion for the film and we have exchanged ideas."

Speaking out for the first time on joining politics, the elusive Tamil superstar Rajnikanth, said that God has given him an actor's role, but if he gives him a politician's role, he will accept it.


Rajnikanth was responding to questions at the NDTV Indian of the Year Awards in New Delhi last evening, where he accepted the award for Entertainer of the Year from Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.


The presence of Shah Rukh Khan at the venue also provided a rare interaction between two of Indian cinema's biggest stars.

Vijay has signed up to do a new film with AVM, but not the makers of Shivaji. The film is being produced by M Balasubramanian and B Gurunath Meiyappan, who headed for the 4th split of AVM Productions.

Balasubramanian got his share from the AVM studios a couple of years ago and decided to start new films in the new banner (AVM Studios) under his supervision. He had already paid the entire amount to Vijay as advance at the time of the release his Aadhi! That time Vijay had shown great interest in remaking the Superstar's Blockbuster Murattukkaalai, produced under the same banner 28 years ago. But now it seems that the actor is interested in making the film based on a fresh script.

In a press release, Balasubramanian said, "I'm happy to announce that AVM, one of the most prestigious banners in the country is going to make a big budget entertainment extravaganza with Ilayathalapathy Vijay. It is Vijay's first film under the AVM banner. The director and other technical details of AVM film will be expected soon."

This film will start rolling by the end of the year after Vijay completes his present assignments- Udayanidhi Stalin's Dharani directed Kuruvi and Ayngaran's new film to be directed by Prabhu Deva.

Similarly, Prabhu wanted to start college in Thanjavur village for poor people as per the wishes of his mother Kamala Sivaji Ganesan. He said the college would coach them good english and he had been in touch with some Americans in the USA to teach the language in Thanjavur. He said the students who joining in his college would not be charged any money as fee to complete their education, Prabhu said. He distributed clothes and moneys to the people who have been working in the farm of the late actor. He also said, that the statues of the late actor Shivaji Ganesan would be erected in various places of the Thanjavur beginning with the one beside the Big temple of the Thanjavur.

It's a daughter's gift to her father" - that's how Soundarya, daughter of Tamil superstar Rajnikant, describes her full-length animation film Sultan: The Warrior to be released in November this year.

Addressing mediapersons after a special screening of the second trailer of the much-awaited film, Soundarya sounded thrilled over producing the first-ever animation film made around an Indian actor.

She also confessed that her Appa (father) was initially very hesitant to play the role. She was happy, however, that he agreed after "all his apprehension were allayed".

Except Rajnikant, all the characters would be animated. The superstar would have his jodi (female opposite). Further details about the movie, however, are strictly under wraps.

The film, being made at a cost of $10 million by Adlabs, along with Soundarya's own Ocher Studio, will be released in 12 languages, including Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and English.

Soundarya said that the film is a "collective effort of 80 of us from the Ocher Studio".

The second trailer showed Rajnikant fighting the villains in his familiar style.

AR Rahman scores the music for the film, which will have four songs. One of these will be in English, and the search is on for a Western singer.

Rs 120 crore has been allocated to produce the Rajini Starrer Robot film to be directed by Shankar. It has been said that the investment of the film will exceed the money that was ever spent on any big-budget film from Kollywood, Tollywood or Bollywood. A.R.Rahman is going to music direct the film in which high technoligies are introduced. The film will be produced simultaneously in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi languages and it is not known whether the allocation of Rs.100 crore meant for all these languages or for the Tamil vernacular alone.


The announcement has concluded unending speculation in the industry about Robot, scripted first in 2001 by S Shankar, the reigning super showman of the south.


Shankar is said to have been allocated an initial budget of Rs 120 crore to give shape to his brainchild. After all, money should not be the constraint to create “the grandest and the most entertaining film ever made in India.” The total investment in the film will far exceed the money ever spent on any big-budget film from Kollywood, Tollywood or Bollywood.


Going back to the history about the Robot film, Shahrukh Khan, was signed on as the male lead for the film in July 2007; he was to double up as the producer of the film, as well. But, Khan had second thoughts about its potential and reportedly and commented that the script was “dull” and “half-baked” in comparison with the other films like Om Shanti Om, he was doing. The director, who was feeling on top of the world with Rajnikant himself commending his prowess as “excellent scriptwriter”, could not stomach such comments.


With Rajinikant’s golden touch and the creative genius he can spark in artists and technicians, not to mention the absolute trust he evokes among moneybags who sustain the industry, Robot has the potential to lift Shankar to the global league of creative cinematographers.

While Eros International, headed by Kishore Lulla, has built a successful business model around the release of 30 new films every year; Ayngaran, established in 1987, has been the pioneer in distribution of Tamil films in theatrical and home video formats in the international market. Eros produces and commissions mainly Bollywood films and distributes and exploits films. This is done across formats globally via cinemas, home entertainment, television formats and new media. It has distribution rights for some 1300 movies, including blockbusters like Devdas, Om Shanti Om, Munnabhai MBBS and Partner. Ayngaran had the vision two decades ago to acquire the international rights across formats of many Kollywood films that became blockbusters. It made a big fortune with earlier Rajnikant starrers like ‘Padayappa’ and ‘Chandramukhi’ before the latest success story Sivaji – The Boss.

One reference the word Robot alludes to is a dance style propagated by the famous Jewish physicist Sean Kirchheimer. The style that came into vogue ten years ago, attempts to imitate a dancing robot or mannequin. All movements of the Robot are started and finished with a lock, to bring alive the starting and stopping action of stepping motors in digitally controlled gadgets. The expert dancer is able to relax while maintaining the robotic illusion. Rajini’s fans recall that it is none other than the ‘style’ that Rajini has mastered in film after film; not only in dance but in fight scenes as well to thrash evil doers!

One important contribution to the high tech film will be from the new-age art director Sabu Cyril. Basically a graphic designer, Sabi cut a niche for himself in the 1980s with his freelance work for Welcomgroup and Taj Group of Hotels as well as giants like Lucas TVS and Madura Coats. He rose to be the undisputed captain of special effects for video albums and motion pictures. Sabu has produced close to 500 ad films so far, and the list is virtually the who’s who of corporate brands – LG Care, Pepsi, TVS Victor, Videocon, Blue Dart, Liril, Nerolac, Fair & Lovely, Santro Xing, Leher Kurkure, Kanan Devan Tea, Henko, Kissan Sauce, Milkman Cheese and Cherry of Britannia, Bru, ANZ Grindlays Bank, Aquafresh, Ponds, Asian Paints, Director’s Special Whisky, Tata Tea, Coca Cola, Timex Watches, Reynolds, Britannia, Akai TV, Fa Perfume, Chick Shampoo, Emami, Airtel and what have you!

Sabu was the art director of Shankar’s psychological thriller ‘Anniyan’, the most expensive Tamil feature film made in 2004-05, costing Rs 27 crore. The film, incorporating state-of-the-art special effects, became the first Indian movie to be dubbed in French and then released worldwide in French-speaking countries.

Shankar is also reported to have roped in science writer Sujatha to write the dialogue for Robot. Sujatha is, in fact, a 70-plus-year-old male, who has become a celebrity in his own right in Tamil Nadu through his youthful style of science fiction writing. The ex-employee of Bharat Electronics takes the credit for using the short story format for familiarising lay magazine readers of Tamil Nadu with cutting edge technology. Way back in the 1960s and 1970s, when other Indians were not aware of Telex and Fax, Sujatha’s fictional characters employed Instant Messenger and Internet for communication! The science fictionist cum engineer happens to be a classmate of ABJ Abdul Kalam.

Yet another celebrity, who will propel Robot to great heights, will be the one and only Big B. It is reported that the present day ad celebrity did not even bother to look at the script when it was known that ad film Czar Sabu Cyril would be the art director.

With such a formidable array of celebrities from various disciplines lined up, unlimited monetary resources provided to back them and the propitious hands of Rajini to guarantee results, India’s ‘Robot’ could pose a serious challenge to the Chinese dragon in filmmaking, if in nothing else!

Director Saran who directed Padmasri Kamal Hassan for Vasool Raja MBBS has lodged a complaint against the actor in the Producers’ Council.According to the director, after the success of Vasool Raja, he had signed up Kamal Hassan for another film that he was planning to direct and produce. Hence, he had given Rs. 2 crores and the distribution rights for selected areas as an advance payment to the actor.

The director later signed an agreement with Ayngaran International offering them the production and staying on the project as a director. This decision, he says, was because his earlier production venture Muni had resulted in a financial setback.

However, Kamal Hassan was against the transfer of production and wanted to quit the project. He also offered to give back the Rs. 2 crores that he had received as advance with interest. But the actor has not returned the advance yet as promised.

Hence, the director has lodged a complaint in the Producers Council requesting them to order the actor to act in his film.

Produced by: Prabakaran for Anbalaya Films

Story, Screen Play and Direction: Pawan

Music By : Patnaik

Actors : Pradeep, Kajini, Madhu Shalini, Akshaya, Kanja Karuppu.

Outline of the story: A student becomes rowdy-sheeter and turns again good.

Rohini in this film who appears as a widow leads her life by cooking on pavements and sells break-fast to bring her son up Pradeep. Pradeep who studies in a college picks up his lessons well, but often threatened by a senior student Kajini. In order to retort Kajini, Pradeep becomes rowdy-sheeter. Kajini's friend an another rowdy-sheeter breaks the friendship. When Pradeep comes to know about it, he joins with his one-time-enemy and does all rowdism in college. One day when Pradeep comes to know, that his rowdy friend sells marijuana, he opposes. Then again the friendship between them comes to an end. Have they united again? Or they became good ? is the story line of the film suspensefully narrated by Pawan.

Actor Pradeep as a good student in the first half the film and when he blows hot and cold in the second half, has excelled in his performance. Similarly, Kajini has proved that he could be fit in villain roles well than the present-day villains whose actings were turned as bitter. Madhu Shalini has also proved to be a good heroine with mental maturity in her performance and bewitching eyes like Meena.

The story-writer, screen play, dialogue and direction done by Pawan was good, however, he should have avoided the double meaning language in the film. But it has become common nowadays, that the college students are interested to talk in this manner. Propably, the director might have the thing in his mind and might have written the dialogues. Patnaik music has tuned well in the film.

Totally the film is good.
