Do you remember this? Director Saran was supposed to direct and produce a film for Kamal Haasan. Shooting schedules were planned and with few days left for the commencement of project, He passed on the production of film to Ayngaran Films International. Kamal Haasan who was uninformed about this cancelled the project.

And now Kamal Haasan does the same act of what Director Saran had done. Pyramid Saimira agreed to produce the film at the cost of Rs. 150Crore for the first copy basis. But Kamal Haasan is addressing the media that the film is a Rs.100Crore project and Walt Disney is joining hands with Pyramid Saimira for production. But the perplexing thing is that Pyramid Saimira group is unaware about this.

If things are settled properly, the project may get wedged with complicated situations.

Earlier, it happened in the sets of Sarvam where members of technicians unit were collapsed to death by an elevator and followed by a technician’s finger cut in the sets of Antony Yaar. Well, here occurs tragedy now in the sets of Durai starring Arjun and directed by A.Venkatesh. Shooting for a song sequence involving Arjun and Keerat was being canned at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad. Crew of Light man unit was working on the set-up and accidentally one an electric wire was cut and fell on the water.

Saif aged 45 unaware of this had his hand into the water and another person who had contact with him was also hit by the current. Saif and other person were rushed to the hospital and Doctors confirmed that Saif had already passed away and another person is critical situation and is in observation at ICU. Police investigation is placed is being held now and shooting has been put to halt.

Actress Asin much before completing her shoot for first Hindi film ‘Ghajini’ had signed for a project with Director Priyadarshan. However, now she has been eliminated from Priyadarshan’s ‘Aisae KoThaicha’. Ever since, Priyadarshan had offered to play female lead role for this film, she had an assertive approach. But then as she signed set of TV commercials, she insisted Director Priyadarshan to postpone the shooting. Frustrated by her reply, Priyadarshan has now eliminated her and is now looking for a new heroine.

Buzzes are that he would be roping in Genelia for she had earlier performed in his ‘Mere Baap Pehle Aap’. Sources close to Asin have revealed that since the film has three heroines, she thought that her importance would be less and that’s reason lying beneath her refusal.

“Lack of good scripts are more prevalent in both Tamil and Malayalam film industry” said Director Bharathiraja. Bharathiraja was on a visit to Thirichur for some personal reason and over there he interacted with journalists about his forthcoming flick Bommalaattam as well the bleak scenario of Tamil film industry. He stated the core reason for not penning good scripts is because all the script writers have turned into directors and it is a film made for actors and not actors for films.

Leading actors insist they are in need of such aspects that will entertain their audiences and this has put the good directors off. Also added that at the moment, producers of the film is not concerned about the narrative aspects while they are more interested on the technical aspects. Dasavatharam could be the one best illustration that has good technical attributes, but nothing great with the story.

With Dasavatharam having been completed successful 50 days, Members of Kamal Haasan Narpani Mandram donated 50 electric fans to each old age and orphanage homes in Chennai, Kovai, Pazhani, Trichy, Aatthur, Erode, Gumidipundi, Ponneri, Raasipuram and Bangalore.

Padmashri Kamal Haasan present in Chennai presented 50 electric fans at the premises of Rajkamal Productions office at 10 ‘O’ today morning.
