At a time when many directors have become actors, here is an actor who has taken the avatar of a music composer. He is Livingston, who will sit in front of the keyboard for a film titled ‘Thandachoru’.
Apart from scoring the music, the actor will take care of story, screenplay and dialogues departments of this comedy movie, which will be directed by Irudhayaraj, a newcomer. Besides, he will also play an important role in it.
“I was initially a singer. I had performed in many stage shows before becoming an actor. I am scoring music for ‘Thandachoru’ with this experience and hopeful that my songs would be liked by one and all,” says Livingston.
On the film, he says, “the story will convey a message that beauty of the heart is more important than beauty of the face. Newcomers are playing the lead roles. The shooting will start by May and plans are on to release the film by this year end.”

Few actors purposely went away from Kollywood as the film industry here is brimmed with mass hero images and lots of egoistic approach between them. Actor Madhavan can be a perfect illustration and so is Siddarth, who just acted in couple of Tamil films and flew all the way to Telugu and Hindi films.
Actress Padmapriya, who recently made her Bollywood debut with ‘Striker’, says, ‘I must thank Siddarth for having offered me a role in his film. It was Siddarth, who recommended me afterwatching some of my films. I will continue acting in Hindi films only if I come across meaty roles. It’s not like other actresses just picking whatever they’re offered with…’
The actress has won laurels across all the regional languages for her commendable performance.

Many times it happens in Kollywood that actors sign a film, take an advance and then delay giving dates. This drama is a nightmare to most of the producers. Even if the actors later decide not to do a particular film getting the already paid advance back is nothing less than an ordeal for the producers.
But Kathiresan who produced 'Pollathavan' was not the one to take it lying down. After ‘Pollathavan’ film Kathiresan signed Shriya for a film and paid her an advance of ten lakhs. But Shriya was not in the position to do the film and so delayed giving dates. Kathiresan waited for long to get alt least the advance money back from Shriya. After much struggle he took his case to Producers Council. Then after hearing both sides Shriya was asked to pay the advance of 10 lakhs along with a fine of 5 lakhs to the producer.
As both the Producers Council and Actors Council were involved in the decision the case ended with out fuss.

Tamannah, during Paiyya’s press meet, said that she cannot comment on actress Ranjitha, as it is her personal affair. The actress, however, pointed out that all the actresses should not be seen in bad light because of stray incidents like this. Awaiting the release of Paiyya shortly, Tamannah is indeed excited. She pairs up with Karthi in this film. The actress, who had an opportunity to star with Karthi’s brother Suriya in Ayan, says that both the actors are good co-stars.

When most of the actresses in Kollywood love to pair with leading actors in main league, actress Andrea Jeremiah seems to be quite odd. The actress makes it clear that she doesn’t want to pick each and every offer, run behind the actors and shake legs with them and disappear over the screens.
The actress has won laurels for her extraordinary performance in ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’ and has indeed got more offers. But she is so particular about knowing her role before signing projects. ‘I feel about picking roles that makes me vital in script and not just to appear and vanish’ says Andrea when a journalist questioned her pertaining to comparisons with entire Kollywood running behind Thamannah for their projects.
Glimpse upon the roles assayed by Andrea, they’ve been really fantastic with lots of depth and intensities.
Well said Andrea! Hope you accomplish with your mantra of success….

The most classical actor Banuchandar has his son introduced in tinsel town with the film ‘Margazhi 16’. The film’s audio launch was held recently herein Sathyam Cinemas with the presence of Actress Radhika, Lizzy Priyadarshan, Suhasini Manirathnam, Kushboo Sundar, filmmakers Lingusamy, Balu Mahendra, Sarath Babu, actor Vicent Ashokan and Sarath Babu….
Bhanuchandar’s son Jayanth is doing the lead role in thus film while Kerala beauty Sreeneedhi is pairing with him. Another hero is Srinivasan who hails from Chennai. Apart from him, other actors who are acting in this film are from Thoothukudi. Stephen while speaking to the journalists said,” Normally Thoothukudi has also been portrayed as a place of violence. But this film shows that there some beautiful romantic stories in these kind of places also. Since I wanted this film to be realistic, I wanted to utilize the local people to act in this film. But since I could not get proper hero and heroine from this place, I had to make use the actor and actress from other place. But the other actors who are acting in the film are all from Thoothukudi.”

National award winning Priyamani has awesome screen chemistry with prime star Jagapathi Babu! And they have co-starred in a number of films like Pellaina Kothallo, Pravarakhyudu, Sadhyam and Baburao… Ninnodala! But does it mean that both actors have any relationships beyond professional boundaries?
Unfortunately, this is what a few Telugu newspapers and websites had written recently about the duo’s relationship. Annoyed by these reports, Priyamani dismissed all speculative and unsubstantiated reports, saying that they are figments of some ugly mind’s imagination.
“I acted with Jagapathi Babu in my first Telugu film, which became a big hit. Then I have acted with him in the recently released Pravarakyudu which has also been received well. My next release Sadhyam is also with him. But I have also acted with other heroes like Tarak (NTR), Ravi Teja and Nitin. Just because I have worked with Jagapathi in many films, you cannot link me with him. I enjoy a good friendship with him and there is nothing more than that,” she said.
Priyamani is now busy shooting for her second Kannada film Eno Onthara featuring Golden star Ganesh in the lead. The shooting is progressing in Chickmagalur. After the current schedule, the unit will move to Greece to shoot two songs.

KV Anand has issued a strict warning to Karthika. The director has instructed the starlet not to disclose the Ko’s storyline to the media. The warning has been issued to all the other stars including Jiiva and Ajmal, as well, but Karthika is given a stern warning because she is a newbie.But being from a family of actors (Radha’s daughter and Ambika’s neice), the lady would sure know how to dodge questions that would reveal too much!

The raising star Bharath is unable to join the list of biggies in the film industry though he is having handful of projects and hit films.
For this, the hero says that not acting in any of the movie directed by Top directors in the industry might be the reason for that. He also says that he is yet to give a huge blockbuster and really working hard for it.
On the other hand he met some of the ace directors in Tamil industry and waiting for the right chance to hit the screens. Stating about his co-actors he says “We care for each other and work for mutual development. At the same time, there is a competition between us to deliver hits.”
Let’s hope Bharath will reach the heights with his next film!
