Bollywood stars without make-up

Here are some of bollywood's hottest stars without make-up.

Unnai Pol Oruvan - Kamal's Next

Ulaganaayagan Kamal Hassan has changed his next film's name to Unnai Pol Oruvan from Thalaivan Irukkindran. The movie will be bilingual in Tamil and Telugu and is a remake of A Wednesday. Its Kamal Haasan and Mohanlal in the lead. The shooting will take place at Ramoji Rao Film City, Hyderabad. Chakri is directing the film.

Venkatesh is playing Mohanlal's role in the Telugu version. The Tamil version will be release in Kerela simultanously . Shruthi Haasan will be debuting as the music director in this film which is being produced by Kamal’s Raj Kamal Films in association with UTV. A trailer of Unnai Pol Oruvan, running a minute is being shown in Tamil channels.

Legendary writer Jayakanthan already made a film in the same name nearly four decades ago in Tamil. Jayakanthan's Unnai Pol Oruvan was set a new high in film making and the same was appreciated by late Chief Minister Thalaivar Kamaraj as a revolutionary effort.

Rumour of Vijay Changing Get-ups in Vettaikkaran

Change in getup. When a Kollywood fan hears these words, two film stars come to his mind immediately – Kamal Hassan, for the multitude of getups he has donned, and Vijay, for his reluctance to change getups!

Throughout his career, Vijay has tried only about Three or four changes in hairstyle. Clearly, he does not like changing getups often and the star had confirmed this in his interviews so many times. But it appears that Vijay has finally given in to the repeated request of his fans – a change in getup. In Vettaikkaran, the star is rumoured to appear in a new hairstyle. And there is also a rumour that he will appear in four different getups in songs

!

Vettaikkaran has been in the news for quite a lot of reasons of late, apart from its heroine Anushka. The film boasts of a never-before-seen introductory song for Vijay; his son Sanjay’s cameo; spectacular dance and stunts sequences, and now, the rumour about Vijay’s hairstyle. Well, it looks like Vettaikkaran could well revive Vijay’s magic.

Nandita

She doesn’t wear glittering eye lashes or die for designer wears, but she does walk the red carpet and does it in style stealing the show. She is a Diva in her own right. It takes more than a few films and the limelight that comes with it to be associated with movies that serve as a wake up call for social awareness. The drive! Call her the queen of parallel cinema or the thinking man’s Monica Belucci, there is no denial to the fact that Nandita belongs to that rare breed of thinking women in Indian cinema. That is a species in the brink of extinction with very few surviving specimens, perhaps even in the world cinema.

With her desi (or rather homely) elegant looks, she could easily have given a run for many of the top Bollywood heroines. Instead, she consciously stayed away and distanced herself from mainstream films. And with good reasons, at that. Without which we wouldn’t have had the magical Dhanalakshmi of Azhagi or the intense Shyama of Kannathil Muthamittal. Not to mention, Azhagi must have been the only film in which she ran around the trees for the nostalgic ‘Pattu Solli’ song.

Nandita has an impressive record of 36 diverse movies in almost all prominent Indian languages including all South Indian languages namely Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu and Kannada. Starting from the Oriya movie Parinati to her last year release Ramchand Pakistani, Nandita has slipped into the shoes of fighters, revolutionaries, yearning mothers and rape victims fighting for justice with consummate ease. She has chosen to be part of stories that, in her words, “need to be told”, according to her website. That includes number of theatre works and short films apart from movies.

There are several regional, national and international awards on her impressive CV. When she was invited to be the jury member of the prestigious Cannes festival, she let the world know that Indian cinema is more than just beauty queens turned actors.

Her marriage was short lived, but that did not stop her from experimenting in relationships. She is an independent thinking woman who falls into the ‘woman who wears her attitude on her sleeves’ type.

Nandita’s directorial debut Firaaq, after finishing its dream run in almost all the international film festivals, opened last week in India. Post-Godhra riots form the backdrop of the movie that was also banned from screening in the multiplexes in Gujarat briefly – for reasons not seemed to be political. The multiplex owners alleged the distributors of having demanded more money for the film’s rights.

Firaaq won three awards in the Asian Festival of First Films in the categories of Best Film, Best Screenplay and the Purple Orchid Award. The movie also won the Special Jury Award in the International Film Festival of Kerala, the special prize in the International Thessaloniki Film Festival, Best Editor award in the Dubai International Film Festival, Best Film award in the Kara International Film Festival, Pakistan and The Maverick Spirit Award at the Cinequest Film Festival, San Jose, USA.

Although not a runaway success, Firaaq has won accolades for its honest portrayal of lives of ordinary citizens whose lives were victimized in the riot hit Gujarat. The movie’s stellar cast includes Naseeruddin Shah, Deepti Naval, Paresh Rawal, Raghubir Yadav, Sanjay Suri, Shahana Goswami and Tisca Chopra.

With Firaaq, Nandita has marked her debut in direction with panache although she has directed a few short films earlier. That’s probably not to say that she will shun being in front of the cameras.

In the glitzy and glamorous world of cinema, here’s one star determined to defy the flash-and-disappear rule and proud enough to flaunt her thinking cap with perfect nonchalance.

Dr. A R Rehman

A.R.Rehman seems to be getting showered with titles and medals. The Middlesex University in London has announced a doctorate for Rehman.

The Isai Puyal is very busy with composing, re-recording and overseas program trips. His every minute seems to be valuable. Amidst being so busy, he is even running a music school KM Music Conservatory in Chennai, where our traditional Indian music as well as Western music is taught.

Recently, the Regional Director, Joe Victor of Middlesex Music University visited Rehmans music school. In appreciation of Rehmans service to the music field, he announced an honorary doctorate for Rehman to be conferred by his university. A delighted Rehman will accept the doctorate at a function to be held in London in July.

During their meeting, the two of them discussed the possibility of developing an Academic Articulation for the Bachelor of Arts Honors Programmed for Music Composition and Music Performance, in Rehmans music school.

General public thrilled to get buttermilk from Rajini himself

Are you a person who says once more to Rajini’s style? If you go to Kelambakkam gardens,you can receive from his hands.

After completing his Hyderabad schedule of ‘Endhiran,’ Rajini is at present relaxing at his farm at Kelambakkam (They did say there’s a train to that place). It is Rajini’s habit to relax at his farm whenever there is no shooting and he went there a couple of days back.

Sitting in the cool confines of his air-conditioned farm house, he looked around and saw the labourers sweating it out in the scorching sun and it moved him. He immediately summoned the supervisor and ordered cool buttermilk to be served to them.

He also asked for buttermilk to be given to the passersby. So, from yesterday, a pandal has been put up outside the garden, buttermilk kept in a huge clay pot and served to the thirsty passersby. When Rajini came there yesterday, he himself served the buttermilk. When news spread, hordes of people flocked to the place to receive the buttermilk from Rajini himself.

So many times, his rasikas have done milk abhishekam for his cut-outs. Now the superstar is happy that with his hands, he is at last able to repay by offering buttermilk to the thirsty.

தன் உதவியாளரையும் கோடீஸ்வரராக்கிய ரஜினி!

தன் உதவியாளரையும் கோடீஸ்வரராக்கிய ரஜினி!ரஜினி என்ற மனிதர் சொல்லி செய்ததைவிட சொல்லாமல் செய்த நன்மைகள் ஏராளம். திரைத்துறையில் ரஜினியின் உதவி பெற்ற அல்லது ஏதாவது ஒரு வகையில் ரஜினியால் வாழ்வு பெற்றவர்களே அதிகம்.
தன் எதிரிகளாகவே இருந்தாலும் தன்னை நம்பி வந்தால் வேறு யோசனையோ, அவர் முன்னர் செய்த தீமைகளையோ யோசித்துக் கொண்டிருக்காமல் உதவி செய்துள்ளார். அதையும் எந்த விளம்பரமும் இல்லாமல் செய்துள்ளார் ரஜினி. மன்சூர் அலிகானும், வேலு பிரபாகரனும் அவர்களாகவே முன்வந்து சொன்ன பிறகுதான் அவர்களுக்கு ரஜினி செய்த உதவிகளே வெளியில் தெரிய வந்தன.
மற்ற நடிகர்களால் நஷ்டப்பட்டு கஷ்டத்தில் இருந்த எத்தனையோ தயாரிப்பாளர்கள் கேட்காமலேயே உதவியை வழங்கியுள்ளார் ரஜினி.
வெளியில் இருந்தவர்களுக்கே இப்படியென்றால், தன்னையே நம்பி உடனிருப்பவர்களை சும்மா விட்டுவிடுவாரா ரஜினி?
ரஜினியிடம் மேனேஜராக பல ஆண்டுகள் பணியாற்றியவர் கிருஷ்ணாராவ். 1978 முதல் 2001 வரை ரஜினியிடம் தொடர்ந்து பணியாற்றியவர் இவர். இப்போது அவருக்கு வயது 70. வயது மூப்பின் காரணமாக அவரை ஓய்வெடுக்கச் சொல்லிவிட்டார் ரஜினி.
ஒரு அரசுப் பணியாளரை விட கவுரவமான வகையில் அவருக்கு பணி ஓய்வு கொடுத்துள்ளார் ரஜினி. 25 ஆண்டுகள் கிருஷ்ணாராவுக்கு எத்தனையோ உதவிகள் செய்த ரஜினி, கிருஷ்ணாராவ் ஓய்வுக்கு முன்னர் மிகப்பெரிய கவுரவமளித்துள்ளார்.
என்ன அது?
தனது படையப்பா படத்தின் தயாரிப்பாளர்களில் ஒருவராகவே அவரை உயர்த்திய ரஜினி, அந்தப் படத்தில் லாபத்திலிருந்து பெரும் தொகையை கிருஷ்ணாராவுக்கு அளித்துள்ளார். இன்று சென்னையில் சொந்த வீடு உள்பட ரூ.6 கோடி சொத்துக்கு அதிபதி கிருஷ்ணாராவ்.
இப்போது அந்த சொத்துக்கள்தான் அவருக்கு வினையாக வந்துள்ளது. அவரது சொத்துக்களை அபகரிக்க சொந்தங்களே சதி வலை பின்ன, இப்போது போலீசின் உதவியை நாடியுள்ளார் கிருஷ்ணாராவ்.
தியாகராய நகர் போலீசாரிடம் நேற்று அவர் இதுகுறித்து ஒரு புகார் மனு அளித்துள்ளார்.
அதில் கூறப்பட்டுள்ளதாவது:
நான் சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் ரஜினிகாந்திடம் 1978 முதல் 2001 வரை மானேஜராக பணி செய்தேன். ரஜினிகாந்த் கடந்த 24 ஆண்டுகளாக எனது குடும்பத்துக்கு எவ்வளவோ நன்மைகள் செய்துள்ளார். ‘படையப்பா’ படத்தில் தயாரிப்பாளராக ஆக்கி என்னை அவர் கவுரவபடுத்தினார். எனக்கு ரூ.6 கோடி மதிப்புள்ள வீடு மற்றும் சொத்துக்கள் உள்ளன.
எனது சொத்துக்களை அபகரிக்க என் குடும்பத்தினரே எனக்கு எதிராக செயல்படுகிறார்கள். எனக்கு மனைவி மற்றும் 3 மகன்களும், 2 மகள்களும் உள்ளனர். எனது சொத்துக்களை அபகரிக்க கொலைமிரட்டல் விடுக்கிறார்கள். எனது சொந்த வீட்டில் வாழ முடியாமல், விடுதி ஒன்றில் தங்கியுள்ளேன். எனது உயிருக்கு ஏதாவது ஆபத்து ஏற்பட்டால், அதற்கு என் குடும்பத்தினர் தான் பொறுப்பு.
என்னுடைய உயிருக்கு பாதுகாப்பு அளித்து, என்னை கொலை செய்ய துடிக்கும் எனது குடும்பத்தினர் மீது சட்டப்பூர்வ நடவடிக்கை எடுக்க வேண்டுகிறேன், என்று குறிப்பிட்டுளளார் கிருஷ்ணாராவ்.
போலீசார் இப்போது கிருஷ்ணாராவின் உறவினர்களிடம் விசாரணைய மேற்கொண்டுள்ளனர்.
