20-minute Salman in Main Aurr Mrs Khanna?
Is Salman Khan making a special appearance in Main aur Mrs Khanna, produced by brother Sohail Khan and UTV jointly? Is it not the main lead? That's what almost everyone in the industry believes. Almost everyone is under the impression that Salman makes a 20-minute appearance in the film.
"That's completely untrue," director Prem Soni says. "The fact is that Salman is the lead man of the film. He's not making a special appearance. It's a beautiful story of a married couple (Salman, Kareena) and would obviously be incomplete without them."
So how did these rumours originate?
"I'm clueless. We kept hearing these rumours earlier, but I chose to keep quiet about them because I wanted to complete the film and then clarify about it. Now that the film is complete, the world can have a look at the film and judge for themselves," the debutante director adds.
"We've shot the film in Australia (Melbourne), Thailand (Krabi) and India (Panchgani, Mumbai) and Salman has been a part of every schedule. It's their (Salman, Kareena) story. How could Salman not be there?"
Mohanlal And Suresh Gopi .Again............
Wanted is only for extreme fans of Salman
Fans, rejoice, Salman is back with a vengeance with Wanted. This is his deadliest performance to date.
Yes, you read it right!
Foes, sorry, you won't be able to lash out at him or pick on him or launch a vicious tirade this time. The spate of flops should come to a grinding halt with Wanted.
Let's get this straight. Wanted rides on Salman Khan's star power. He may not be the best actor in town, but in a film like Wanted, in a role that seems like an extension of his personality, you can't think of anyone else enacting this role with flourish.
A remake of Pokiri (made in Telugu and Tamil), Wanted is a full on masala film. Recall the successful potboilers of yore. Recall how the good guy would reduce 10 hoodlums to pulp in a fraction of seconds. Recall how heroism prevailed in the end, no matter how adverse the circumstances were or how powerful the villains would be. Recall those movies in which logic took a backseat since the focus was on entertainment. You relive those moments as reel after reel of Wanted unfolds.
A departure from candyfloss movies and diabetic-sweet characters that most Hindi movies boast of, Wanted takes you back to those days when popular cinema reigned supreme, when the sole motive of the film-maker was to entertain.
The daring hero and his herogiri, the naïve girlfriend, the corrupt cop, the dreaded don, the don's moll, the fist-clinching henchmen. Wanted is for those who seek unabashed entertainment and relish masala films. Damn the indomitable critics, pseudo intellectuals and connoisseurs of parallel cinema, this one's not for them. Wanted is for the aam junta.
Radhe (Salman Khan) is a hardcore gangster. A sharpshooter with a sharp brain, he works for Gani Bhai (Prakash Raj), the dreaded Mafioso, but on his own terms. Totally fearless, Radhe single-handedly eliminates Gani Bhai's enemies one by one; making more enemies in the process.
He's astounded when the young and pretty Jahnvi (Ayesha Takia Azmi) professes her liking for him. Inspector Talpade's (Mahesh Manjrekar) lustful eyes fall on Jahnvi. He doesn't know that Jahnvi has developed a soft corner for Radhe.
Whether it's the Golden Gang or Data Pawle's Gang, everybody wants the biggest piece of the lucrative cake that is Mumbai and the only way to get it is to eliminate whoever gets in the way. As Mumbai reels under bloody gang wars, Commissioner Ashraf Khan (Govind Namdeo) vows to make the city crime free.
Director Prabhu Dheva serves a hardcore masala fare that's not inventive or path-breaking by any standard, but the execution of several scenes as also of stunts takes the graph of the film north. In fact, if at all there's any film that competes with Ghajini as far as raw appeal goes, it's Wanted. Every action/stunt/chase here is choreographed with aplomb.
Watch out for the action sequence at the interval point or the penultimate half-an-hour. The climax is sure to send scores of action lovers in frenzy, as Salman bashes the evil forces black and blue. It wouldn't be erroneous to state that the climax is worth the price of the ticket, samosa, sandwich, popcorn, nachos and cola put together.

Gracy Singh, the heroine from Lagaan, will be seen opposite Mammootty in the film. A musical comedy, the film is about a farmer who is popularly known as 'Mike' Gopalan because he speaks loudly!
Nedumudi Venu, Innocent, Jagathy Sreekumar, Salim Kumar, Suraaj Venjaramoodu and Cochin Haneefa are also part of the cast.
Bijiba is the music director and will set to music songs penned by Anil Panachooran. K U Mohanan, the noted cinematographer who did Don, will be behind the camera.
Kochi-based Time Ad Release, who distributed Dasavatharam in Kerala, is the producer of the film.

Mohanlal & Kamal take on Mammootty!
It is the classic confrontation at the Kerala box-office this Ramzan weekend (Sep 18 to 20) as Kamal Hassan- Mohanlal thriller Unnaipol Oruvan releasing big, clashes with Mammootty’s Jayaraj directed Loud Speaker.
Both the films carry “super” pre-release reports, and the hype surrounding their release is huge, with Unnaipol Oruvan, having a slight edge as Mohanlal is coming together with Kamal Hassan for the first time. The “powerful combo” is enough for a bumper opening.
Jayaraj’s Loud Speaker is not a typical Mammootty mass film, but has potential to turn into a hit. The songs from the film are very good, especially the remix version of the evergreen classic song Aliambal Kadavil….
Meanwhile MA Nishad directed Vairam which features Tamil actor Pasupathi in the lead with Suresh Gopi, Mukesh and Samvrutha is also releasing on Sep 20. And another film which is releasing for Ramzan is Sooraj Venjaranmoodu’s first film as a full fledged hero Duplicate

Shankar speaks on Endhiran!
Shankar has given an interview to a Tamil daily where he has said: “ Endhiran is beyond imagination, with much grandeur and richness.
You can see the effort which is to be taken for 10 films in this one film. Rajni is such an amazing hero. Just words can’t describe his efforts.”
On Rajini’s look in the film, Shankar says “Sivaji was just a sample of how young the star can look. In Endhiran he will look even younger. For his make up things, we went to America and searched in many places but nothing came right. Then we tried in India and it worked out perfectly for the character he plays. Normally make-up, Kamal will only take efforts for make up is the public opinion. But in this film Rajni has taken amazing efforts as he waited patiently for two three hours to put up the make-up.”
On Aiswarya Rai- Rajinikanth screen combination, Shankar says: “There was terrific chemistry between them, as she plays a medical student. Shankar added that the film has “never before seen special effects and graphics.” They have used a technique called “Animatronics” the use of electronics and robotics in mechanised puppets (Robos) to make them appear to be alive.
Unnaipol Oruvan countdown- 3 Days to D-day
Unnaipol Oruvan is set for a mammoth release in USA.
Says Jay Murugan of Narmadha Media, the distributors of the film: “The online tickets sales of Unnaipol Oruvan has already broken the record set by earlier films, which is truly phenomenal.”
Murugan attributes it to the coming together of two titans in south Indian cinema Kamal Hassan and Mohanlal in the Tamil version and Kamal Hassan and Venkatesh in the Telugu version.
“Two super heroes in one film is a major plus for the film”, says Murugan.
Distribution house Narmadha Media is set to release this movie in 40 cities in USA in both (Tamil and Telugu) the languages.
Online and box office tickets prices are kept to the expectations of US audience and it’s appreciated by all movie goers in USA. The film is expected to take a bumper opening in the US.

Prithvi's no to our Lalettan
According to Prithviraj, "It has been my dream to act with Lalettan. But just for the sake of that wish, if I make way for a bad movie, then would it not be selfishness on my part. Won't it be cheating the media which has been life bread for so long? That's the sole reason why I did not commit to these movies". He also added that movies which were planned with him and Mohanlal together were either weak in the story side or in certain cases his character was poorly etched.
Prithviraj concluded his statement like this that if he come across a good story and a role which would help to develop the actor in him, then he would certainly do the movie since it has been his long standing aspiration to act with our Superstar Mohanlal. Whatever may be the reason, it sounds really interesting when it was first heard from the young actor himself.
Let's wait and see whether these two actors will join together to perform in a movie
Pazhassi Raja website launched
Being made in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Hindi by Gokulam Gopalan under the banner of Gokulam Films, the film is directed by Hariharan and scripted by M.T. Vasudevan Nair. The film was recently censored with a U/A certificate.
Talking about the film, Mammootty said: "The film is about one of the first freedom fighters who fought against the British. He suffered many losses due to this war. Not only did he lose his throne and palace but also his unborn child. But he was a special prince who brought every strata of society together to fight this war of freedom. The support of his people was his biggest strength. The film will have every emotion and sentiment possible from patriotism and heroism to human relationships. The film will remind us what it’s like to live without freedom and of how precious it is."
Sarathkumar said: "We have used no computer graphics and the shots of the war scenes are all shot realistically. I am very happy to be working with Mammootty for the first time. Such associations bring our hidden talents to the fore."
The film has two heroines: Kanihaa, who plays a princess, and Padmapriya, who plays a tribal. Suman plays the villain. Music is by Ilayaraja. The movie will be released on October 2.

Slumdog... fame kid's father dies of tuberculosis
Slumdog... fame kid's father dies of tuberculosis Mohmmed Azharuddin, who featured in the Oscar winning film Slumdog Millionaire, has lost his father in Mumbai, a family aide said on Sunday.
"Ismail Shaikh had been suffering from advanced tuberculosis since past two years. He had a very painful death on Friday at his Santacruz home where the family had shifted a few months ago," Dinesh Dubey, Azharuddin's business representative said.
Shaikh, 46, is survived by his widow Shamim, son Azharuddin, an older son and two daughters.
Shamim said that Shaikh had neglected his health and was totally immersed in making a bright future for Azharuddin, especially after the Slumdog Millionaire became an international box-office hit.
She said that Azharruddin did not know much about the serious health condition of his father since the family did not want him to ignore his professional advancements.
Director Danny Boyle of the film - which bagged 10 Oscars this year - has written to the family expressing his condolences and support to them in this hour of grief, she said.
He is expected to visit the family some time next month.
