Nayanathara is a busy actress who is acting in all the South Indian languages. Currently, she is very busy with a handful of projects in multiple languages. She made her debut at an early age and was a part of many films with star heroes in South film industry. Right now, she is doing all content-oriented projects by playing the lead role. The latest buzz is that she is going to be a part of Kannada film Kurukshetra which is a period film. Naganna is the director of the movie. The film has Darshan in the role of Duryodhana.

Ravichandran is playing Karna and Amreesh is seen as Bheesma. The makers are looking out for Draupadi and they felt that Nayanathara is going to be apt for the role. The discussions are going on and the complete details will be out soon.

Abhirami is a model and a trained Bharatanatyam dancer. She is also the granddaughter of famous hero and director Kannada Super Star Ravichandran, who acted in over 100 films. She was impressed by the performance of her grandpa and has been longing to step in the film industry. Even though Ravichandran’s son tried his luck as a hero a few years ago, he wasn’t successful in his attempts and got vanished within no time.

Tamil director Mysskin after hearing through a model coordinator, approached Abhirami and took a screening test and offered her an actress role in his new project and she immediately gave her nod for the project. As there is another heroine with the same name, Mysskin changed her screen name to Tanya. Currently, Mysskin is directing a film starring Vishal and Rakul Preet Singh. He would start working on Tanya’s launch pad after this movie. A financier’s son Mythreyi will play the protagonist in this project.

Abhirami is aware that background supports to get the First Chance, but Talent is important to Fit in Industry. Till the shooting starts, Tanya will be doing her post graduation in Social Works.

There have been many movies in Indian cinema history, in multiple languages, that have been ‘inspired by’ certain famous (or not so famous) foreign movies – especially hit Hollywood ones, but rarely does someone actually go about remaking a movie properly – by buying the official remake rights to the original one. Well that’s the case anyway with the French film Point Blank which is being remade in Tamil and Hindi soon!

The original French action thriller, directed by Fred Cavaye, starred Gilles Lellouches, Roschdy Zem, Gerard Lanvin and Elena Anaya in the lead roles and according to Sunir Kheterpal, who has bought the remake rights to the film, the story is entertaining and has a particular universal appeal. This means it should lend well to being remade for the Indian audiences, with a few changes and tweaks of course, to suit our unique sensibilities.

Ravi K Chandran, the veteran cinematographer turned debutant director of Jeeva starrer Yaan, will be the man at the helm of both remakes – Tamil and Hindi. Mr Chandran is particularly well suited to the task as he has worked in both industries over a career spanning more than two decades as a cinematographer (one of the most sought after ones in fact).

It still remains to be decided whether the filming for both versions will be done simultaneously or one after another. The cast too will only be decided by the end of the month according to the proposed films’ makers.

This is good news for the fans eagerly on the wait for Ravi K Chandran’s current project and maiden directorial venture Yaan. The movie which was announced over a year ago is still not complete and is expected to hit the theatres sometime in August this year.

Rumors surfaced recently that the plot of the movie might bear certain resemblances to A R Murgadoss – Vijay movie Kaththi (also in production). If true it evidently falls upon the director’s unique vision to get the audiences to pick one over the other.

Good luck on both projects to Mr Chandran and keep them coming.
