Being good at studies doesnt alone help the youngsters, but cultivating good attribtues shapes up their futuristic life and Director Gnanamozhi has tried conveying this message to the masses especially of youth groups.

Malini well educates her son Rithik by running a road side snack bar and in turn Rithik wins the reputation scoring high marks at 12th Government examinations. Despites holding state rank, Rithik is unable to take up higher studies due to poverty and few good hearted entities contribute their donations for his higher studies.

Heading all the way to college in Chennai, Rithik is exposed to different scenario of city life and he gets into friendship with Adhira, his classmate. As days pass on, Rithik gets in touch with bad company where they induce him to consume narcotic drugs. As a result, he turns out to be a drug addict and getting to know about his bad activities, Adhira gets away from him. Well, Rithik is dashed with his hopes of Adhira not accepting his love and situations urge him to commit suicide and this point time journalist Raj (Bhagyaraj) rescues him and with all great attempts enlightens Rithik with good thoughts.

Director Gnanamozhi does a decent job conveying the right message without getting scattered with unwanted commercial elements. Debutant Rithik with his naturalistic and matured performance steals the show while Adhira comes up wiht a moderate effort. Bhagyaraj, though appears not in many scenes carries film on his shoulder. Thashi musical score is good and the melodious number 'Nilave' makes us hum along with the tune.

On the whole, Maanavan Ninaithal is a good movie to watch...

Subramaniapuram, which was released without much hype, is creating ripples in the industry, and has received appreciation from all quarters. This only goes on to reiterate the fact that when the story and screenplay are powerful, it does not need big names to carry it forward. Industry sources aver that after a long time, a film of such


caliber has hit the marquee and popular theatres which did not screen this film earlier are accommodating the film now.

Director Sasi has plans to commence his next project in January 2009 but would be showcasing his talent in front of the camera as a hero in a film titled Nadodigal produced and directed by Samudirakani. The rest of the cast and technicians will be finalized shortly and the official announcement will happen on the 15th of August. Good luck Sasi!

Q: Please give about your family background.A: I was born in Russia, brought up in Mumbai and Visakapatinam. I passed out in bio-technology but started my career as a television anchor and did a talk- show. Director Krishnavamsi approached me with an offer to act in his Telugu film Danger. It was followed by Selvaraghavan’s Adavari Matalukku Ardhalae Verulae. Impressed with the performance in that film, Sasikumar wanted me to act in Subramaniapuram.

Q: Did you work hard for the Subramaniyapuram?A: I learnt a lot about the people of Tamilnadu, their culture while working in the movie. In Madurai and Dindigul where we shot the film, people showered boundless love on me. Initially I faced some trouble since I was not fluent in Tamil. However, thanks to my director, I understood the character and its demands. The whole unit worked with vigour to make it a successful film. It has turned out to be a movie to reckon with in my career.

Q: Which vernacular you prefer Telugu or Tamil?A: No, I would like to act in both in Tamil and Telugu films. Art knows no language barrier. If I come across a meaty role, I would take it up immediately unmindful of the language.

Q: About performing glamour roles in films and present film in which you act?A: An actress has to perform all kinds of roles. I am ready to do glamour roles, provided they are within limits. I am acting in Ashta Samma, a Telugu movie It is directed by Mohan Krishna. I am choosy and waiting for right script in Tamil. Hopefully I would get one soon in Tamil.

It looks like Kuselan will not release in Karnataka, causing a loss of Rs 1.50 crore to its distributors Pyramid Saimira. The chauvinist organization Karnataka Rakshana Vedika (KRV) is determined to block the release of the film scheduled on August 1.

Their grouse is that during the Tamil Film industry's protest fast opposing Karnataka stand on the Hogenekkal project, Rajinikanth had come down heavily on Karnataka. He had warned the state not to politicize the issue.

Rajinikanth in typical style seen in his films had said: "Karnataka should not test our (Tamilnadu) patience by not letting us draw water from our own land." This made Rajini a hero in the land where he became a superstar and a villain in his own home state.

KRV is demanding an apology from Rajinikanth, failing which his films will not be allowed to be screened in Karnataka. Rajini at that time expressed regret if he had hurt the sentiments of anyone, but also added: “If my films do not release in Karnataka, it's not a problem for me."

Meanwhile Karnataka Chief Minister B.S Yedurappa, has said he would convene an all party meet in Bangalore to discuss the Hogenakkal issue. The state is ready to pass a resolution in the Assembly opposing the project and is willing to take an all party delegation to New Delhi to halt the project.

Remember Yedurappa was the first politician who visited Hogenakkal before the assembly elections and made an "issue" out of it which paid off handsomely. Now with Lok Sabha polls looming large, all politicians in both Tamilnadu and Karnataka are going to make a blockbuster out of the Hogenakkal issue!

And Rajinikanth knows that he cannot play neutral, he has to be seen as 'Tamilnadu pro-active' in his talks. The best way out for Rajinikanth is to reimburse Pyramid Saimira their cost of Kuselan Karnataka rights, and never release the film in the state.

This will ensure that he is not dragged into unwanted controversies, something which he has been trying to keep his superstardom afloat.

Dhanush is one hero in Kollywood who has never depended on the two kings of comedy Vivek or Vadivel to piggy back ride on. He has done 13 films so far but has never been paired with these two top comedians of Tamil cinema.

Remember that in all his films, Dhanush has done comedy himself or had little known comedians with him. So when Vadivel was signed up in his latest film Padikkathavan it was news. But now the twist in the tale is that Vadivel has been dropped by the unit like a hot potato as “he was too difficult to handle”.

In fact Vadivel, the highest paid comedian ( Rs 7 Lakhs per day!) shot for two days in Hyderabad when he started throwing his weight with director Suraaj. A source close to the unit say that Vadivel was unhappy about the comedy track written for him with Dhanush including a scene which had the hero beating him.

After all, how can the king of comedy get beaten by a young hero when he says that superstars like Rajnikanth and Vijay waits for his dates, pleads with him to come on time and is treated like a hero himself on their sets! It seems on the Padikkathavan sets, Vadivel openly shouted at the director and asked his Chamchas to write his lines, which saw the hero and the unit see red.

And the latest news is that director Suraaj has decided to replace Vadivel with Vivek who is his arch rival. Vivek who is also busy has given immediate dates and is all excited to replace Vadivel and be a part of a Dhanush film for the first time.
