Aishwarya Dhanush confirms


The audio launch of 3 will happen on December 23rd, 2011 confirms Aishwarya Dhanush, the director of the film. The debut director says that she is planning a very different audio launch for the film.
3’s songs are most expected because the single track – Why this Kolaveri Di – has turned out to be huge hit. Therefore the expectations on the rest of the songs are very high. Anirudh is making his debut as music director in 3.
The film stars Dhanush and Shruti Haasan in the lead roles.

Will Hrithik do it for Dhanush?


Dhanush is going all out to fulfill his dream of becoming a director. Apparently it is his intention to make a larger than life fantasy film. The script is ready and Dhanush is keen on having Hrithik Roshan play the protagonist. Hrithik besides being one of the best looking men in the country has also established himself as a very versatile actor. Besides he has also dappled successfully in the fantasy genre with films like Koi Mil Gaya and Krish.
A spate of publicity thanks to the National award and Kolaveri di going viral has made Bollywood sit up and take notice of Dhanush. He was in Mumbai recently and met up with quite a lot of influential people and Hrithik it seems is interested. An official announcement is expected soon.

Vijay and Dhanush to compete?



Shortly on the heels of Aishwarya Dhanush's announcement that the audio of 3 will be launched on December 23rd, there have been reports that the music release of Nanban will also be on December 23rd and will happen at Harris Jeyaraj's On the Edge Concert in Coimbatore with the musician performing some of the tracks live.
Kolaveri di is already a phenomenon and this has created huge expectations for the rest of the album. On the other hands Nanban is one of the most eagerly awaited films of all time and people are expecting magic from the Shankar - Harris Jeyaraj combination. And Vijay of course has a great track record where music is concerned because his films can be counted on to feature atleast a couple of chartbusters. It is going to be a great competition!

HOW JIIVA BECAME MYSSKIN’S SUPERHERO?


The official puja and launch of Mysskin’s ambitious project Mugamoodi was held last morning at the auditorium of the Santhome school in Chennai. You might wonder why the auditorium of a school was chosen for the launch of a movie. It is because the first shots of the movie were also canned at the same premises.

Mugamoodi, as you might already be aware, is a film to be directed by Mysskin having Jiiva and Narain in the lead roles. It is believed to be one of the first genuine superhero movies in Tamil cinema. Speaking at the function, Mysskin said that this movie was a long time cherished desire of his. His childhood hobby was reading a lot of superhero comics like the Phantom, Mandrake and many others. When he became a film maker, he wanted to do such a movie. Now, that dream has taken off, it is his childhood fantasy coming true. He also added that producer UTV Dhananjayan was equally excited about doing a superhero movie in Tamil and said that he expected nothing less than a super hit from the team.

Mysskin, while talking about the casting said that while developing the script for the movie the first face that came to his mind was that of Jiiva. He immediately called the actor and gave him a synopsis of the plot. Jiiva surprised Mysskin by arriving at his office within 10 minutes of the phone call. It was at this moment that Mysskin almost finalized his hero. But, the bigger surprise was still to come, Mysskin said. He asked Jiiva to undergo 6 months rigorous kung-fu training for the film and Jiiva replied that he had been learning the martial art for more than 6 years now. That left no doubt in Mysskin’s mind that he had chosen the right person.

Speaking about Narain, Mysskin said that all that was required was a phone call from him for Narain to accept the role without any questions. Narain had said that there was no way he could turn down an offer from Mysskin. That Narain was readily available for the role of lead antagonist when his career as hero was taking off in a big way in Malayalam and Tamil was testimony of his commitment towards cinema, Mysskin said.

Talking about his heroine, Mysskin said that Pooja Hegde, a newcomer was chosen only after extensive screen tests which she had passed with flying colours. Mugamoodi is set to have music by K, who did the BGM for Yudham Sei.

And, about the scene that was canned on the first day; it was that of a huge martial arts class. There were around 2000 junior artistes dressed in authentic kung fu attire for the scene. The first day’s shots of the movie proved that it was going to be a grand affair.

Mysskin finished by saying that if Jiiva was able to provide bulk dates, about 90 days, then the film would be shot at one stretch and be ready for release by mid of 2012. Looking forward to a full fledged superhero movie from Mysskin!
