| GET A COPY OF CINE FASHION TO GET MORE NEWS ON: |
| Director - Romance Must Be Artistic ~ JEEVA |
| True to his words, director Jeeva's movies are full of raw passion, amidst the rough facade that you see. Ullam Ketkumey and Run are two fine examples of a typical Jeeva film. Another point of interest is of course Jeeva's heroines-they actually have scope for acting! In actual fact the heroes too are more challenged in his movies-they don't just appear for fights, songs and hero worship dialogues. |
| Actress -Kollywood's Indispensable Asset ~ NAMITHA |
| Neck up, Namitha has one of the most beautiful faces in Tamil cinema today! Can't imagine how gorgeous she would look if she lost all that excess weight! Errr she's very well endowed shall we say, probably the reason for her being treated as a valuable asset by our middle aged heroes! |
| Actress - TANISHA Falls for The Chennai Charm |
By now word is already out in a big way that Kajol's baby sister is making her debut in Tamil. Coming from an illustrious cine family is like a double-edged sword in the bubbly young woman's life as she has such a load to live up to! Her grandmother was an actress. Her mother is one. Her elder sister Kajol was the heartthrob of the entire nation and brother in law too is a mega star!. |
| Rising Star - I Stood on Stage Almost Naked ! ~ KAMALINI MUKHERJEE |
| Kamalini stormed into our hearts with the Paartha mudhal naaley song. Her role in Vettaiyadu Vilayaadu might have been very short-she romanced Kamal Haasan, got married to him and died soon afterwards but with that brief appearance, Kamalini Mukherjee simply mesmerized the entire audience. |
| Actor - Pokiri is The Name, Superhero is The Game! ~ VIJAY |
| Vijay is very clear about his path in Tamil cinema. The shy, ultra slim nimble dancer has come a very long way since his Kathalukku Mariyathai days. Those were times when his preference was for the soft romantic hero role. He even played the loser [Shah Jahan] and the hero who refuses the girl he loves [Love Today]-something you will NEVER see him doing these days! |
| Bollywood Actress - I Felt Like a Babe In The Woods! ~ PRIYANKA CHOPRA |
| At 17 she was Miss World and in her own words Priyanka Chopra says she felt like a babe in the woods! Like the other famous Miss World turned actress, Aiswarya Rai, Priyanka too decided to enter the Indian cinema world through Tamil. In fact she even sang a song in her debut movie with Vijay in Thamizhan. However, there were difficult things in store for her as she switched to Bollywood. Her big budget debut in Hindi The Hero: Love Story of a Spy (2003) was a flop and it took her a while for her to recover. |
| Malayalam Actor - Aiming For a Double Whammy!! ~ PRITHVIRAJ |
