| GET A COPY OF CINE FASHION TO GET MORE NEWS ON: |
| Director ¡V Vishnuvardhan |
You see, the real matter is nothing
but inflated egos in certain southern Indian cine fields where heroes
have become larger than life beings. It is high time really for an overhaul
in the industry but we don¡¦t see it happening unless the youngsters lend
a hand-be it actors or directors.This is where young director Vishnuvardhan
scores big. |
| Rising Star ¡V Akshaya |
| Akshaya! This recent new entrant to the Tamil film industry is proving to be a real blessing. For the uninitiated, she is the sultry, conniving husband stealer of Kalaba Kathala. Her convincing, tastefully sexy performance even managed to outshine both the hero and the heroine of the movie! |
| Actor In Person ¡V Karan¡¦s Curse! |
| Once a villain always a villain-well the mould has been broken a few times and villain actors have gone on to become hugely successful heroes. Perhaps it was the success stories of Rajinikanth, Sarath Kumar or Sathyaraj that encouraged Karan to take stock of his mediocre career and make some drastic changes. If this is so then it was surely a smart career move. |
| Music Director ¡V Supremely Talented but Unfairly Overlooked? ¡V Bharadwaj |
| The acclaimed music director has a string of hit songs under his belt and they range from the hauntingly memorable ones like Gnyabagam Varuthe, wildly catchy Seena Thana, and the uniquely melodious Manasukkule Kathal to the soulful Ovoru Pookalume. Surprising then that he has yet to be honoured with awards by the industry! It is understandable then when he laments, ¡§There is no proper press coverage about my achievements and I continue to be overlooked by the awards department!¡¨ |
| Actress In Person- Padma Priya, Not Just a Poster Girl! |
| Hot on the heels of Cheran¡¦s social drama Thavamai Thavamirunthu, comes the slick, fast paced Pattiyal. There is nothing in common between Thavamai Thavamirunthu and Pattiyal but for the presence of the leading lady, Padmapriya, who had to play entirely different roles in both these movies. With the success and acclaim of both movies the young actress is understandably all smiles as she has been able to outshine her more glamorous peers... |
| Actor UpClose ¡V Arya Arrives With a Bang! An Exclusive |
| He may be better known for the brooding, angst ridden characters that he plays with such ease, but In reality Arya comes across as a humble, down to earth, genial young man who hasn¡¦t let sudden fame go to his head. This could partially be due to the hard early years during which he was in search of his breakthrough movie-for movie glory had always been his goal. ¡§I kept giving photographs to all the companies and directors. It clicked the first time with director Jeeva for Ullam Ketkumae. He¡¦s the one who gave me the break. Thus far,I have five movies and my favourites would be Arinthum Ariyamalum and Pattiyal.¡¨ |
| Bollywood Actor s ¡V Bollywood¡¦s Metro Men |
| Bollywood is now screaming with beautiful, ramp hunks who take on the silver screens. These three below are just a few of the many that tried their luck in the industry and hit the mark. Read the fact files and you are bound to put a picture to the modern metro man! |
| Malayalam Actress ¡V Bhavana in Kollywood |
| Most of the time, we don¡¦t realize what we¡¦ve got until it¡¦s gone. That seems to be the case with Bhavana too. Chittiram Pesudadi was her first film in Tamil. Another Malayalam star, Sunil, was making his debut in Tamil with that film. Unfortunately, it turned out to be an average grosser at the box office, but Bhavana had managed to make her mark even before the film¡¦s release. She is the heroine of the new film that director Shankar is going to produce. She is Madhavan¡¦s heroine in his new film Arya and is also the heroine of Veyil. She had managed to sign up these films even before the release of her first film!!! |
| Telugu Actress ¡V The New Glam Girl Ravishing Sadha |
| Her metamorphosis from a¡Xdhavani-clad village maiden [Jayam] to ultra modern stylish lady [Anniyan songs]. She proved she could look equally good and the odds were very much in her favour to rule the roost. Strangely however, the girl who stole hearts with her ¡¥poya po¡¦ catch phrase in her debut movie Jayam, and then went on to look stunning in the song sequences of Anniyan, was caught up in some controversies and melted away in a wave of newer faces. |
