Shruthi’s debut film shelved?

The latest buzz in tinsel town is that the much awaited film which was supposed to catapult Shruthi Haasan in to the world of acting has been shelved. Shruthi, was to act opposite Madhavan in her debut film.

Shruthi, who has been pinning her hopes on this film, must be disappointed. Though nothing is confirmed as yet, we hope that all this is just a rumour and we get to see Shruthi on the silver screen soon.

A.R. Rahman’s song to be remixed

A. R. Rahman’s popular number 'Kadhalikkum Pennin Kaigal' from Kadhalan will be remixed for Theeyavan.

Theeyavan’s lead pair comprises a newcomer hero opposite Manadurai fame Midhuna. But interestingly, the song will not feature the lead pair. It will be filmed on the comedians of the film, M.S. Baskar and Aarthi.

Possibly this is the first time a remix version of a Rahman song is being used in a movie.

A.R. Rahman gets IIFA award

This year IIFA (International Indian Film Academy) has recognised A.R. Rahman as the ‘Outstanding Indian contributing to International Cinema’. Rahman is credited with increasing Indian film music’s popularity all over the world by his music compositions. He has been recognized as the ambassador of Indian music.

The award bestowed upon A.R. Rahman is one among the three special recognitions of IIFA, the other two being ‘Outstanding contribution to Indian Cinema’ and ‘Achievment in Indian Cinema’. The other two have been won by eminent director Shyam Benegal and Mumtaz respectively.

Shyam Benegal is considered as one of the best filmmakers of India. He marked his debut with Ankur, the impact of which can be felt even today. Shyam Benegal has a very simple but unique style. At the moment, the director is busy storyboarding for his film on Buddha. He is also working on a comedy subject which has received a lot of attention and is on the verge of completion. It is about a postman of a small village full of illiterate people, who becomes the confidant of everyone by reading them their letters.

Mumtaz, the Bollywood actress who was the queen of every heart in the 70s, has been recognised as an achiever in the Indian Cinema.

These awardees will be presented trophies at IIFA Weekend, which will be held in Bangkok from June 6th to 8th, 2008.
