Titbits 5: Kareena to replace Aishwarya in Robot? & Sultan in Vietnam

Kareena replaces Aishwarya Rai in Robot?
This news which i read in an English daily may not be true. However I wish it should become true.

The following news is completely my draft since the original news about Kareena in Robot was just a two line news.

Eversince Robot was announced, Aishwarya Rai’s presence in the project is remaining suspicious despite her strong affirmation about her part in it. This is because her commitment to other projects, particularly Manirathnam’s new project.

At one extent, it is also rumoured that Shankar is holding talks with Deepika Padukone too as a choice of standby.

Adding to the tale, yesterday I read in Saturday DC (not in usual gapsa column) that Kareena has been signed in for Robot for a hefty pack with bulk dates and Aishwarya Rai has been dropped because of call sheet problems.

I hope other than Aishwarya Rai, Rajini fans would accept who ever it may be. I feel Deepika or Priyanka Chopra would be a better choice to pair with Superstar than Aishwarya Rai.

Manirathnam's obsession with Aishwarya Rai
I often wonder why this Manirathnam is so much obsessed with Aishwarya Rai. Is he shows the world that he can bring her anytime for his movie where others find it hard? If yes, what’s merit or pride in that? Mani should go for other talented actresses in Bollywood leaving this Aishwarya mania. I avoided Guru and Jodha Akbar just because of Aishwarya Rai. You may retaliate that Superstar too wishes to rope Rai her in his films. Yes, of course. But u should keep in mind that she’s not acted with Superstar so far!

Kuselan – the story of release dates!!
P Vasu recently told in a press bite that Kuselan would be a September release only and thereby brushed aside all other rumours regarding it.

If you remember, very first I stuck to September alone and stressed that the movie will be a Sep release probably on Ganesh Chadhurthi day. But later, when media predicted some other dates and told that the movie will be a July release, I fell prey in it.

What a thing should be noted is: Until we had this bite from P Vasu no dates were announced from the movie’s Production house Kavithalaya (oh…it is there?...) or any other official source. All we read were just hearsays and speculations.

Media they themselves speculated news regarding this and as usual nobody related to the movie could be contacted to verify the news. Even the PRO of the movie couldn’t be contacted. (PRO - whose duty is to inform press and public about the movie - does nothing in a Rajini movie. Why then such a post and paying them in vain?)

What a fun is - the news that circulated regarding Kuselan’s 100th day falling on Deepavali day. Ha...ha...ha…Oh God, I didn’t publish it….

As I said already whenever you find a news that being speculated much in media is found missing in my blog – just take in a sense that – i don't believe that news or the news must be fake or created just for furore.

It is very tough to give 100% accurate news for anybody. But I shall try my best. And am enquiring about Kuselan audio and its release schedule. Just wait for a few days for some authentic inputs on the same.

"Robot will be a power packed project" – Rathnavelu
Rathanavelu still has not come out from the sweet surprise of Robot fortune. He feels that he has scored a double hat-trick by getting a chance to work with Superstar and Shankar. Rathanvelu says, “I myself a biggest FDFS fan of Superstar Rajini. Now I have a chance to mantle the lights of his dream project. Robot will not be just an ordinary movie. It will be expensive and extra-ordinary with technical excellence and novel story. We have already finished planning the colour tones and shot division for the film. Shankar’s commitment to this project couldn’t be explained in mere words. I have not seen a man like Shankar who is so organized. He has plans on what to do for next four months."

When speaking about the present stage, Rathnavelyu says that pre-production meetings are going on.

He admitted that the project would be challenging for him since so far he has worked in realistic movie alone and not on a science fiction.

So, friends we shall expect a feast in Robot….

(For new comers: Rathnavelu has so far worked in movies like Sethu, Nandha, Mayavi, Jayam, Thirumalai, and Perazhagan)

Kunal Kapoor - a new addition to the ocean of Rajini fans
Kunal Kapoor was in local headlines, just because he has spoken a few words about our Superstar.

Kunal Kapoor, an upcoming Bollywood actor who was in Chennai for a brand promotion has given a small interview in Chennai editions of DC and Times of India. In that interview, he has said about our Superstar which made his name known to you now.

Says Kunal, “I am a great fan of Rajnikanth and am totally bowled over by his charm. He has an awesome screen presence and it is sheer magic to watch him on the screen. Off screen, he is a great person, so down-to-earth and humble. I've always dreamt about working on a movie with him.”

What he says next makes the news:
“I have seen Sivaji a few times. In fact the movie became craze in Mumbai with repeat audience. I don’t think anyother movie from South has had such an impact up North.”

Thank you Kunal Kapoor. Hmm…hereafterwards we need to watch your movies too... Thalaivarai patriyum avar padaththa patriyum ivlo uyarvaa sollitteengalae…

Sultan – in Vietnam!
Though Sultan is touted an animation movie, real stunts too involve in the movie. How? For the perfection, they sometimes used to shoot real life sequences and build the animation over it. Sultan, too has been shot in such style.

Over to today’s Indian Express for more info on the same… Really we should thank Express for bringing us news on Superstar and his movies regularly. The new piece beside is an informative one.
