Director/Actor - Parthiban

Parthiban is one of a small group of niche artistes in the Tamil cinema world who doesn't conform to the established rules of film making. That is to say this is one man who dares to defy typecasting and staid, formulaic productions that rule the industry. His movies are ones that relay strong social messages using unexpected, sometimes unorthodox turn of events, with intelligent comedy. His pairing with Vadivelu in particular has created its own brand of hilarious comedy, thankfully minus too much slapstick.

Actor - Bharat on His Gorgeous Heroines!!!

In a very short time, Bharat has acted with some of the most beautiful young heroines in tamil - From Genelia to Malika Kapoor. He talks to us about all his lovely graceful Lajjavathis.

Actor in Person - Ramesh Arvind

I'm from Kumbakonam. My family was not even remotely connected with films. I was like the mythological character Suyambu. I had faith in my self and I simply went ahead to make my dreams come true. I owe everything to the producers and directors who made films with me and the audience who loved me. I have acted in more than 120 films in Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi.

Actor Upclose - Sarath Kumar

Sarath Kumar is probably one of the few heroes who fits into emotional melodramas as well as being equally adept at playing the macho action hero. This former bodybuilder has come a long way since he made his debut as the man with the brawns rather than brains. Those days of course are long gone as he has since established himself as a highly successful actor, businessman and politician. His personal life too is more sobering now that he's happily married to the highly acclaimed Radhika, with whom he has a son.

Rising Star - Jeeva

One of the youngsters aiming to make his mark today is Jeeva, of Raam fame and son of producer R B Choudhary, who has established himself as a name to reckon with in the industry after venturing down South from North India. After signing films like Dishoom and E, Jeeva is one of the current Kollywood sensations.

Actress Upclose - Sadha "Now You See, Now You Don't"

She may have gone unnoticed to some but the mere mention of the phrase "po-yah, poooo" will bring this beauty back to our minds. That is right; she is none other than Sadha, one of Kollywood's young actress who has created a niche for herself in the Tamil cinema.
