Producer’s Profit

Tuesday, March 29th, 2005
Many Tamil movies have big production banner. But only a part of the producers are satisfied with the profit from their film. But to reap, he should invest in. only few producers are concentrating on the other aspects other than the normal expenditure for film shoot, so as to gain more profit.

Almost all producers just concentrate such that the film is shaped well and the right amount is paid. Also due to income tax problems, even these few producers do not exactly say their investment. It is the media who exploit the actual cost incurred by a movie to a very great height.

Can anyone digest putting crores of rupees for a Tamil movie? Will the producer get back his money? Hope the fact behind this would be clear.

What is CITY RIGHTS?

Tuesday, March 29th, 2005
Do u guys know the real thing behind the movies running more than 70 days? The film may be worst, still it easily crosses 100 days. Have you ever thought of this? Here is the answer for you.

These days a good movie will not do good at theatres but a worst movie with some certain actors easily cross 100 days. Actually there are some actors who explicitly buy the city (mainly Chennai) distribution rights for their film. Even they are clever. If they sense that the movie would not run on its own, then they go for getting the rights. Then it is their duty to pay tributes to the theatre owners even if no one watches the movie. So the result is that they make it run till some 100 days & if they are really stale, they will stop paying the amount and allow the theatre owners to take off the movie and put a new one. This really makes a movie hit by sticking posters saying that the movie is running for these many days.

What a crooked mind some have. Even, a recent film had done like this and made publicity that it was really doing well but the fact was that the producer of that film had gone bankrupt.

So, this being the truth, we should always support for the films that originate in a honest way & run in a honest way.

Vijay clears air on feud with Ajith

Tuesday, March 29th, 2005

Actors Vijay and Ajith often indulge in war of words in their movies taking dig at each other.

There were reports that the two ever since their debut have not been seeing eye to eye.

Vijay, who is busy shooting for Sachien, clarified
stating that there was not even an iota of truth in reports that they
were against each other.

"We are good friends off the screen and share a good
rapport. A few have been trying to create a rift between us through
such malicious campaigns." 

On his insistence on doing only commercial films, he
says: "I want my producers, directors, distributors, theatre-owners and
the audience to get their money’s worth and hence I continue to do
commercial entertainers.

"Those who invest keeping faith in me should not lose"

Well, that is a good bottom line.

Bala says its “Different”

Friday, March 25th, 2005
Coming up next is the much awaited film in ajith's career. It is not only an expected film by our fans but ajith also has full confidence in this film as it is going to be an turning point in his career like that of vaali.

It is none other than the film to be directed by Bala. The most important aspect of this film is that ajith will play a leprosy affected man. This is the information got from the associates of bala's. Definitely the get-up of ajith in this film will be totally different that of all his movies. Can u guys bring into mind the get-up of vikram in pithamagan, sethu & surya in nandha?? The film may hit the screens with any one of the following titles tentatively - Naan Kadavul, Budhan, Killer. The name of the film will be announced in the month of April.

After this he may do a film with a blockbuster director under a mega banner. So keep guessing.

`Godfather` shoot in full swing!

Thursday, March 24th, 2005

Ajit and director K.S.Ravikumar have completed a 10-day shoot of Godfather in Ooty including a song. A month long schedule is being planned from March 28 in Chennai.

P.C.Sreeram is no longer a pert of ‘Godfather’
and instead Priyan has taken over as the new cameraman. Said Ravikumar:
“Unfortunately PC is busy with director Priya’s new film for Prakash
Raj and since the dates clashed, we have decided to go ahead with
cameraman Priyan.”. Meena who was supposed to do the father Ajit’s wife
character has also opted out due to date’s problem. Ravikumar is now on
the look-out for a senior actress to play that role.

Rahman has
already given four out of six songs, which by his standards is amazing.
Adds Ravikumar: "The story has shaped out well and Ajit is giving all
his attention to the three characters that he play, as father and twin
sons. The characterization of these three people is the highlight of
the film”.

In April the Godfather unit will shift to
Hyderabad for a third schedule and the film will be completed by May
end. Two songs will be picturised in Canada and the film will be ready
for release by July 22.

Ajith’s All-important Decision

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2005

In this
‘Kaliyug’, only people with cunning mind get respected, than the people
with innocent pure heart. Ajith is an innocent and pure hearted man.

__hr_untitled_1He
would be frank and would say things honestly and frankly. But, there
are people, who picturize him as a terrorist, deliberately.

Ajith
had become seriously involved in acting in films only, leaving all his
extra curricular activities like car race etc., behind. His present
target and aim is to complete the film ‘God father’. Even the ‘Tamil
Padhukappu Iyakkam’ people, has not shown any interest in the name of
the film. But some people with vested interests are continuously asking
him whether he would change the title of his film.

"I
am a common person for all sections of the people. I had acted in films
with pure Tamil titles such as ‘Aasai’ and ‘Mugavari’ before. I do
believe that they will not oppose to the title ‘God father’. As per as
the title is concerned, it is up to the director and the producer of
the film. If and when I produce a film all by myself, come to me, then
we will discuss about the title".

It
seems he had hit right on target. After this answer, nobody had said
anything about the name". He had also put a full stop about the issue
of other actors teasing him unnecessarily in their films. "I am not
going to worry about these things. It would be best if one keep silence
over some issues. I am not going to talk about this issue anymore".
Ajith has yet again proved that, he is a real gentle man.
