ராணா படத்தை அஜீத்தை முன் வைத்து.... (TFC)

ரஜினிக்கு அஜீத் மீது எப்போதுமே ஒரு தனி கவனம் உண்டு. இருவரும் அடிக்கடி சந்தித்து பேசிக் கொண்டிருக்கிறார்கள் என்பதும் படவுலகம் அறிந்த செய்திதான். ஆனால் சமீபகாலமாக தனக்கு கொடுக்கப்பட்டிருக்கும் பெரும் பொறுப்பு ஒன்றை அஜீத்தையும் சேர்த்து சுமக்க வைக்க ஆசைப்படுகிறாராம் ரஜினி. கோடம்பாக்கத்தில் பரவலாக பேசப்படும் இந்த விஷயத்திலிருக்கும் உண்மையின் அளவு போக போகதான் தெரியும் போலிருக்கிறது. ஆனால் பேசப்படுவது இதுதான்.

ராணா படப்பிடிப்பு தள்ளிக் கொண்டே போவதில் ரஜினிக்கும் பெரிய வருத்தம் இருக்கிறதாம். எனவே இந்த படத்தை அஜீத்தை முன் வைத்து துவங்கினால் என்ன என்று கருதுகிறாராம். ஒரு கேரக்டரில் தானும் கவுரவ வேடத்தில் தோன்றினால் போச்சு என்பதும் அவரது திட்டமாக இருக்கிறதாம். இதற்கு படத்தை தயாரிக்கும் மும்பை நிறுவனமும் முழு சம்மதத்தை தெரிவித்திருக்கிறதாம். இவையெல்லாம் நடக்குமா, அல்லது வெறும் வதந்தியளவிலேயே நிற்குமா என்பதை காலம்தான் நிருபிக்க வேண்டும்.

3 Roses & 7 Stars in Rajnikanth’s Raana (TFC)

Rajnikanth's Raana has been discussed by both Rajnikanth and K.S Ravikumar after he returned from Singapore. Fans want to see the Superstar to confirm that he has been cured of his illness. However, things are going pretty with Raana which may be expected to go on floors in this October.

Now, though October seems too close, K.S Ravikumar has been busy in the casting of heroines in Raana. There will be about seven heroines. Rekha and Madhuri Dixit had already walked out. The latter said that she would not like to don the role of Rajnikanth's sister but would like some better role.
Though there will be seven heroines, all of them will be in pivotal roles but Rajnikanth will be paired with only three, since he dons a triple role in the film. K.S Ravikumar had said that only Deepika Padukone was blocked. Later, Anushka was confirmed.
But the latest buzz is that Ileana, who is in Shankar directed Nanban with Vijay, Jeeva and Srikanth, will play the second heroine in Raana. So, it looks like Ileana, Anushka and Deepika Padukone will play the top three roles.
Though they are looking for powerful actresses in the other four roles, even most of the old actresses have backed out. If all goes as planned, Superstar Rajnikanth may be shooting for Raana within a month or two.

We had earlier told you about Rajini and team planning to head to the bustling city of London to capture some exquisite shots for Rana in the month of April. Fresh reports suggest that Rajini is wielding the sword in Rana and the hero will train under someone adept in the art of  swordsmanship in London to pull of those action sequences in style. The sword fighting scenes will be shown in a flashback mode in the movie.

Now the art of sword fighting isn’t new to Rajini as many still remember some prominent scenes from movies such as ‘Alavudeenum Arputha Vilakkum’ way back in 1979 and ‘Adutha Varisu’ back in 1983 where plays with his weapons in his numero-uno style.As we knowRajinikanth’s Rana will have Superstar playing a triple role and moreover he also has 3 heroines for the movie. OnlyDeepika Padukone has confirmed her participation while official confirmations from Rekha and Vidya Balan are yet awaited now that Asin has decided to let go of the golden opportunity to star opposite Thalaivar.

Fans can take our word for the fact that our Superstar has some ‘cutting edge’ action sequences in store for us in Rana.

Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan together again[TFC]

Back in October 2010 there had been rumors of Rajini, Kamal and director Shankar to join hands with Sun Pictures for a magnum opus movie having a budget of 500 crores.

Well even though nothing materialized of the project here is a bit of good news for those who are still disappointed. Tamilcinema aficionados can expect the hit pair of Kamal and Rajini coming together after a long time. There was an era when both the stalwarts presented us with some real gems like 16 Vayathinile, Moondru Mudichu, Avargal, Ninaithale Inikkum etc, but looks like things are going to change for a new beginning.

Well it is Gautham Menon this time who is trying his best to bring the iconic demigods together as he expressed his interest in a recent chit chat with one of our close industry insiders. Gautham was quoted saying, “I would be more than happy to get Kamal and Rajini sir together in one of my movies.”

Well as of late Gautham is engaged with promotional activities for his psychological thriller Nadunisi Naaygal to release this weekend.

Considering the fact that Kamal and Rajini still share a special bond which was evident when we told you about Super Star Rajinikanth playing Kamal Haasans role in Rana things surely look optimistic.
