Madras High Court orders stay on Vishwaroopam’s release

Kamal Haasan’s upcoming film Vishwaroopam has run into a fresh roadblock. The film was banned by the Tamil Nadu government for the time being since several muslim groups had lodged a complaint against the film that it shows them in negative light. After the government ordered an interim ban for 15 days, Kamal Haasan was quite shocked with the decision and he approached the Madras High Court to appeal against the government’s decision.

Sources say that the judge had asked the lawyer defending on behalf of the muslim groups to wait till the film’s release and approach the court if there are any objectionable scenes, but they didn’t relent. On the other hand, the lawyer representing Kamal Haasan and his film argued that Kamal Haasan has the right to expression and that the film has already been cleared by three censor boards across the country. After listening to the arguments on both sides, the court couldn’t come to a conclusion and decided to postpone its verdict to January 28. Apparently, the judge wanted to watch the film before arriving at a conclusion.

Vishwaroopam was all set to take a bumper opening in Tamil Nadu because of the long holiday weekend but with the latest turn of events, it’s certain that the film will lose a lot of revenue. It still remains to be seen what the Madras High Court decides on January 28. But one thing is certain – neither Kamal Haasan nor millions of his supporters who are waiting for the film with bated breath will be happy with what has happened today.

There’s a rumour doing rounds that the film’s Telugu version will release as per schedule in Andhra Pradesh. An official announcement is expected to be made soon. Kamal Haasan had written, produced and directed the film, apart from playing the lead role. The film also stars Pooja Kumar, Andrea Jeremiah and Rahul Bose in lead roles. Vishwaroopam is based on the theme of global terrorism.

Jennifer Lopez learns gender differences by raising twins

Singer-actress Jennifer Lopez says that while raising her twins, she is learning a lot about the different characteristics that men and women have.
The 43-year-old has four-year-old twins – son Max and daughter Emme – with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
“I’ve learned so much about the differences between men and women by having boy and girl twins,” contactmusic.com quoted Lopez as saying.
“I think women go under the illusion that men have the same feelings as we do, or operate in the same way and we really don’t. I think women tend to think through to the point where they almost over-think, whereas men just battle on ahead and deal with the consequences later,” she added.

Petition filed against Amitabh Bachchan

In another instance of religious court cases, a petition was filed in the Allahabad High Court accusing Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan of having made a “derogatory” remark about the Holy Book of the ‘Quran’. The petition was filed by Mudassir Ullah Khan, a resident of Jhansi, who believes that Bachchan’s use of the phrase ‘racha gaya’ about the Holy book in an episode of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ was derogatory.
Khan contends that Bachchan’s use of the phrase ‘racha gaya’ was derogatory as the ‘Quran’ was neither written by nor created by anybody but was brought into existence by Allah himself. The petitioner has sought to make Bachchan as well as the manager of Sony TV and the ‘Karyakram Prayojak’ (a programme sponsor of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’) a party in the case. The petition will probably come up for hearing before a Bench next week.

2013 is yet to start for this ravishing beauty who bowled out youths to the core with her wet and pink teasing all the time. It is heard that this girl got her third love with that young hero and here it goes.
Pink skinned damsel Tamanna Bhatia is right now making Bollywood hero Ajay Devgan go mum with her swift dance moves on dance floor. Coming to her Tollywood show, she will be seen opposite Naga Chaitanya  in ‘Bhale Tammudu’, remake of Tamil flick Vettai. This is their second outing after the couple appealed to everyone with their sizzling chemistry in ’100% Love’. If ‘Vettai’ is their second-love, then their third-love is also going to happen. This will be remake of Nagarjuna’s yesteryear hit ‘Hello Brother’ say sources.

Four hours for a Lip to Lip Kiss in Kadali

Lip lock scene in Kadali movie is one of the hottest news in media. Mani Ratnam has planned a new romantic scene with both new hero and new heroine. This lip lock scene that is shot on Radha’s younger daughter Tulasi and Karthik’s son Gautam is going to be for 10 seconds on the screen but it took nearly four hours while shooting.
At the time of shooting, there was a huge crowd at the shooting location. These new artists felt some difficulty to lock their lips in front of such a crowd. ManiRatnam who is very famous for romantic touch in his films, has gone for so many takes to get the right chemistry between the kids. Observing their difficulty, few unit members were sent off and shot with very few crew. Later Mani got more than he expected from them in lip locking as if they might have practiced it many times before the shoot.
In order to feel this romance, one has to wait till February for the movie to get released. It is little wonder that director like Mani Ratnam who doesn’t go for lip lock scenes has concentrated on it this time.

The Producers’ Sector of Andhra Pradesh Film Chamber of Commerce (APFCC) has called for an emergency meeting on Wednesday at AP Film Chamber in Film Nagar to discuss over the ongoing issue- ‘monopoly’ in film distribution and exhibition.

Joint-secretary of Executive Committee, Chadalavada Srinivas, Suresh Kondeti, Prasanna Kumar have warned that they will take legal action against ‘honchos’ if they continue to have control over theatres as it in turn resulting in theatres shunning other films- specially small-budget films.

Speaking over the issue, Chairman of Producers’ Sector, Natti Kumar said, ‘During the recent Sankranti festival, almost all the theatres were occupied by two big starrer films ‘Naayak’ and ‘Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu’) and that drastically cost other films as they couldn’t get theatres to exhibit their films. The situation has worsened and we ask the listed producers and exhibitors to stop practicing lease system by the end of this month, else we will take severe legal action against them. We’re also planning to approach CCI (Competition Commission of India) and will lodge a complaint in it.’

Supreme Court dismisses plea against Salman Khan

The Supreme Court of India on Thursday dismissed the Rajasthan government’s plea against superstar Salman Khan in the black buck shooting case dating back to October 1998, during the shooting of the film, Hum Saath Saath Hain.
Khan’s other colleagues who were caught with him under section 52 ( Attempts to contravene, or abet the contravention of, any of the provisions of this Act) of Wildlife Act and section 149 of IPC, included actors Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Neelam and Sonali Bendre Sources said the veteran actor was supposed to go the US to get a medical check-up but later decided to postpone the visit because of the hearing.
A friend close to Khan said although his pain has subsided, his family still wanted him to go for the check-up. The apex court’s decision will give a huge relief to Khan. In July last year, the Rajasthan High Court revised the charges against the actor and his colleagues in the case, paving the way for a trial in the case. Disposing the state government’s plea against a sessions court order to drop some of the charges, the high court said that Khan
would be charges under Section 51 of Wildlife Act and Section 149 of IPC (Unlawful assembly). The actors were accused of poaching two black bucks in Kankani village near Jodhpur on the nights of October 1 and 2. All of them had appeared in the court on June 19, 2006.

It’s an honour to be nominated and terrifyingly wonderful to be singing in front of people who have captured my imagination over and over again,” Adele, 24, said in a statement.”It’s something I’ve never experienced and probably only ever will once!”

Ram Charan Comments on Mahesh Babu

Though it is not spoken in the open it is often whispered that there is bitter rivalry between Ram Charan and Mahesh Babu. This is not just in terms of box office race but also due to few other reasons. Due to that, it is heard that whenever a chance or situation arises, the satires and counter satires keep happening.
Recently, Ram Charan gave a statement mentioning that youth should come into politics and they should change the nation. He also added that they cannot sit ignorantly stating they don’t know who is the MLA or MP. Those who heard this are saying this is actually a counter to Mahesh Babu.
Usually whenever Mahesh is asked about his opinion on joining politics, he is heard saying “Why politics for me, I don’t even know the MLA or MP.” Well, the statement from Charan is reportedly a counter to this. So why did Charan have to give this counter? Apparently, when Mahesh was asked about his Bollywood plans he reportedly said “Already there is a lot I have to do here, what is the need for going there.”  Charan reportedly felt that this was Mahesh’s satire on him n that’s why he gave this as a counter. That’s the story folks!

Kamal Hassan’s Letter to the Supporters

Members of a Tamil party fringe Pro-Sri Lankan Tamil group staged a protest outside actor Kamal Haasan’s house on 23rd May demanding that Kamal Haasan to resign his Chairman post of  FICCI Media and Entertainment Business Conclave.
Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) organization is said to be the official partner of International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards ceremony which will be held in Colombo, Srilanka from June 3-5.
The Global Business Forum, organised by Industry body FICCI, is also scheduled to be held there at that time. Reportedly Pro-Tamil groups in the state had submitted a request to actor Kamal Haasan on 23rd May stating that Kamal Haasan’s resignation from FICCI would “set the right precedent” in the interest of the Sri Lankan Tamil community. The request also urged him to pressure FICCI to change the Global Business Forum from Sri Lanka. Also they held banners demanding that he must return his Padmasri award.
Kamal Haasan has written a letter to all Tamil supporters hours after the members of the movement submitted a request to him stating that he will not return the Padmasri award . In his letter he said, “All Top office-bearers of FICCI, including its president have accepted my request to not attend the IIFA event (being held in Colombo this year).
They have also told me that they would not attend the Business forum (scheduled as part of the three day IIFA). It is not in the hands of “small bodies” like FICCI to prevent corporates from carrying out business” “I had asked FICCI not to participate in IIFA (International Indian Film Academy) event driven by my
own feelings but I see no reason for returning the award. I don’t see that we can achieve anything by returning the honour bestowed upon me by my country,” he added.

WikiLeaks movie won’t attempt any final judgment

Filming has begun on a movie drama about Julian Assange and his WikiLeaks website that director Bill Condon said will not attempt to pass final judgment on the former hacker and his influence.
Hollywood movie studio DreamWorks said on Wednesday that ‘The Fifth Estate,’ starring British actor Benedict Cumberbatch as Assange, will open in U.S. movie theaters in November 2013.
The movie will trace the early days of WikiLeaks through the eyes of Assange and his German former spokesman, Daniel Domscheit-Berg (played by Daniel Brühl), culminating in the release in 2010 of a series of thousands of damaging government documents and emails.
It may be decades before we understand the full impact of WikiLeaks and how it’s revolutionized the spread of information. So this film won’t claim any long view authority on its subject, or attempt any final judgment,” said Condon in a statement.
“We want to explore the complexities and challenges of transparency in the information age and, we hope, enliven and enrich the conversations WikiLeaks has already provoked,” added the director, whose past projects include musical ‘Dreamgirls’ and ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.’
The movie screenplay is based on Domscheit-Berg’s 2011 book ‘Inside WikiLeaks,’ written after the disillusioned German activist quit the organization, and a second book, ‘WikiLeaks: Inside Julian Assange’s War on Secrecy,’ by journalists David Leigh and Luke Harding.
Assange, who grew up in Australia, was also profiled in the 2012 Australian TV film ‘Underground.’
The WikiLeaks founder has been holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy in London for seven months to avoid extradition to Sweden for questioning on allegations of sexual assault.Assange has said he fears extradition will ultimately lead to him being sent to the United States, which is furious that WikiLeaks has leaked hundreds of thousands of secret U.S. diplomatic and military cables.

Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit starrer ‘Hum Aapke Hain Kaun’ (HAHK) which was released back in 1994 was a run away hit.

Marine Band Backs Off Beyonce Lip-Syncing Statement

WASHINGTON: There’s no question Beyonce’s rendition of the national anthem was a roaring success. The mystery: was it live or lip synced?
On Tuesday, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Marine Band told news outlets that Beyonce had lip synced at President Barack Obama’s inauguration. Master Sgt. Kristin duBois said the band was notified at the last minute that Beyonce would use a pre-recorded voice track.
But by late afternoon, the Marine Corps backed off that statement.
Marine Corps spokesman Capt. Gregory Wolf said that because there was no opportunity for Beyonce to rehearse with the Marine Band, it was determined that a live performance by the band was ill advised. Instead they used a pre-recorded track for the band’s portion of the song.
“Regarding Ms. Knowles-Carter’s vocal performance,” Wolf’s statement continued, “no one in the Marine Band is in a position to assess whether it was live or pre-recorded.”
A representative for Beyonce did not respond to requests for comment.
DuBois declined to answer further questions. Earlier in the day, she told The New York Times that the rest of the inaugural performance was live and they did not know why a recorded track was used for the national anthem.
“It’s not because Beyonce can’t sing. We all know Beyonce can sing. We all know the Marine Band can play,” she said.
Kelly Clarkson’s representative said she sang live to perform “My Country, `Tis of Thee.”
Inaugural organizers did not respond to requests for comment.
All inaugural music is pre-recorded in case weather conditions or other circumstances could interrupt the program.
The use of a recording is typical in big events. In 2009, cellist Yo-Yo Ma was questioned about “hand-syncing” for Obama’s first inauguration. Ma said instruments weren’t functioning properly in 19-degree weather.
Even in good conditions, producing good sound can be a challenge in a large open space.
Some artists choose to lip-sync. Whitney Houston’s memorable performance of the national anthem in 1991 at the Super Bowl was sung to a track.

Lady Gaga’s Inaugural Ball Dress Is Impressively Large [Video]

Lady Gaga is typically a hot (and expensive) ticket. But on Tuesday night in Washington D.C., several thousand people got the chance to see Lady Gaga, President Obama, Michelle Obama and Tony Bennett on one stage for a mere $10.
As predicted, Gaga and Bennett performed at President Obama’s final Inauguration event, a Staff Ball for White House aides and campaign staffers. If the combination of Gaga, Bennett and the Obamas seems odd to you, it did to POTUS as well. “The average age here is probably around 20 something. And that’s only because I’m here, which brings the average age up, quite a bit…” he quipped to the crowd.
It was also strange because as any fashion lover knows, Gaga doesn’t tend towards Jason Wu gowns or other White House-appropriate gear. So what did the pop songstress wear to perform for the Obamas and 10,000 of their closest friends?
A rather lovely balance between avant garde and D.C. glam, in fact: a gauzy off-white gown with globular embellishments along the shoulders and hips, studs around the neckline and corset-like string across the boobs, back and bodice. Oh, and a massive skirt.
We’re sure Michelle Obama, who donned a shimmery black long-sleeve outfit, was duly impressed.

Bus conductor Rajinikanth was a big hit with Bangalore passengers

Did you know that passengers would let buses go empty and wait for the one where Rajinikanth was on duty as the superstar, who was then a bus conductor, amazed people by issuing tickets and returning the change in his trademark style?
Critic Naman Ramachandran’s biography on Rajinikanth recounts the actor’s career in meticulous detail, tracing his incredible cinematic journey from his very first film “Apoorva Ragangal” in 1975 to memorable forays into Bollywood like “Andhaa Kanoon” and “Hum”, from landmark films like “Billa”, “Thalapathi” and “Annamalai” to the mega successes of “Baasha”, “Muthu”, “Padayappa”, “Sivaji” and “Enthiran”.
Along the way, “Rajinikanth: The Definitive Biography” provides rare insights into the his personal life, from his childhood days to his times of struggle – when he was still Sivaji Rao Gaekwad – and then his eventual stardom: revealing how a legend was born.
During his days of struggle, Rajini worked briefly at Mysore Machinery in Bangalore before getting a job of loading sacks of rice into trucks at 10 paise per bag. He then sat for an examination and obtained a bus conductor’s licence from the Bangalore Transport Service.
He joined service on March 19, 1970 along with driver Raja Bahadur.
“The driver-conductor pair was thrown together a lot, working the gruelling early morning shift that began at 6 am and ended at 2 pm,” the book, published by Penguin, says.
“There was no one faster than him in issuing tickets,” remembers Badhar.
“He would give out tickets with a flourish, return change in style. It was all about style. Passengers would look on in amazement. He would always flick back his forelock in those days, that’s why he is bald today,” says the driver.
“Passengers would let earlier buses go empty and wait for the bus where the entertaining conductor was on duty and crowd in. Shivaji definitely knew how to work a crowd and play to the gallery even then,” he recalls.
Rajinikanth is, arguably, the biggest superstar cinema-crazy India has ever seen. His stylized dialogues and screen mannerisms are legion, and his guy next door-cum-superhero image has found a hysterically appreciative following among millions of moviegoers.
The superstar remembers clearly his time of flux before he joined the BTS in the book.
“I’m an ordinary person. Before I was a bus conductor, I was an office boy, a coolie, a carpenter,” he recalls. It was at the BTS that Shivaji met the person who he describes today as his best friend – Raja Badhar.
After duty, he and Badhar would go to their respective homes and rest for a while. The actor would make his way over to Badhar’s home in Hanumanthnagar every evening and they would go to rehearse for the plays they acted in from time to time which were organised under the aegis of the BTS Association.
Rehearsals were in a hall next to the Chamrajpet police station and would go on from 5 pm till 8 pm. After that, they would walk over to the market in Kalasipalyam and have a few drinks.
“He would drink arrack and I would drink beer,” recalls Badhar. After drinking they would walk back and eat dinner at their respective homes.
The long conversations that the friends had were almost exclusively about cinema. They would watch almost every film that released each week, with Rajinikanth continuing to enjoy Sivaji Ganesan, Rajkumar and MGR starrers. After watching the movies, he would enact scenes in the manner of these stars.
Paying tribute to the late Ganesan, Rajinikanth says, “I watched him, I imitated him. He is the reason I am in the cinema industry.”
He also acknowledges the role theatre played in shaping his acting career.    “The stage is my mother,” he says.
“When I was a conductor, after I’d acted in more than 25 plays, my friends, the drivers and other conductors asked me why I shouldn’t go into cinema. You’ll become a famous villain, they said. They gave me a boost.
“But I didn’t know what to do, as I’ve never liked to ask anyone for any favours. And what would I say to anyone, as I’m not good-looking. With what background could I ask anybody for a chance? If I would tell them that I’m a conductor, please give me a chance, would they,” the book quotes him.
Badhar and Rajinikanth’s other friends advised him to enroll in the newly formed Madras Film Institute. It was sound advice as Madras was the epicentre of the south Indian film industry then.
At the time, Rajinikanth knew only a smattering of Tamil, having picked up a few words from watching movies and from friends.
“He asked me for my permission to join the institute,” says Rajini’s elder brother Satyanarayana.
“I told him not to worry about the family. He should come up in life with his acting. And with the blessing of Lord Raghavendra, we decided to send him.”
Thus, Rajinikanth, then Shivaji Rao, decided to join the Madras Film Institute, taking casual leave and later unauthorised leave from the BTS, not wanting to lose the security blanket of a government job should he not make it in the world of cinema.
K Balachander did not cast about long for a screen name for Shivaji Rao; he chose a character name from his own film, Major Chandrakanth. A V M Rajan had played a character named Rajinikanth in the film, and Balachander christened Shivaji Rao with this name.
And thus was born Rajinikanth, soon to be a household name. The name literally means ’colour of night’; it was a comment on the colour of Shivaji Rao’s skin.
