As of now, the role given to Prakashraj in 'Little John' is the talk of Kodambakkam. What is the specialty in that role, one may wonder.

Please look at this picture. Are you not afraid of this face covered by a beard? Yes, it is only Prakashraj appearing in this frightening guise.

As God Parameswara and Goddess Parvathi are engaged in a duel in the course of their cosmic dance in the skies, the diamond-studded jewel worn by the Goddess on her nose falls down. As the nose ring is very powerful precious and priceless, a Bairagi of great magical powers sets himself in the search for the goddess's ornament. As Prakashraj has landed the character of that great magician he has chosen to appear in an altogether different get up. He has taken laborious pains to score a grand victory in that cumbersome role.

Prakashraj dons the guise of a magician who has lived before Six thousand years. The producer and the director were taxing their gray and white brain cells in not being able to arrive at a correct decision regarding the facial make-up and the attire for the magician. Prakashraj hit upon the right brain wave in this connection giving the proper food for thought, Prakashraj came in the best conceivable apparels and make-up that would fit the role of a magician. The whole unit was taken by surprise at this. They readily gave their approval for the high sense of involvement exhibited by him. He drew all round applause.
 
They said Vairamuthu is already over the hill, when A.R.Rehman introduced some new faces as lyricists for the film, "Thenali". But the very same persons now well that it is the end for those first-time lyricists, as no song from 'Thenali' became a hit. Rahman had to tell once in no uncertain terms that hereafter he would be traversing through the music world only in partnership with Vairamuthu.

But the fact remains that the lyrical lines penned up for Tenali were really up to the mark. The lyrics have been hailed as good by many. Therefore, Rahman has come forward to give some concessions to the beginners in lyrics. It is expected that he would be offering chances to the small timers in the movies directed by Vikraman and Kathir, with whom Vairamuthu does not find favour with. This preference would cause a dent in the chances of Kavignar Vaali, who carries weight with Vikraman and Kadhir.

Today, this actress's name is, perhaps, uttered most by the filmgoers. This actress was selected through advertisement in magazines. This 'fond' actress tried to seize opportunities in many more films even before fulfilling her commitment to her first film. She has broken the long existing convention. The matter was taken to the notice of the Association of Artists. So, the actress is now trying to wreak vengeance through her mother.

The mother of the actress puts on superior airs at the shooting spots. She gets upset whenever there is a slight decrease in the respect shown to her daughter. The members of the film crew are subjected to great difficulties due to the antics of the lady. She is known for her condescending manners whenever she talks to the people on the sets, except the hero. Her negligent attitude makes people ill at ease.

A good face is a recommendatory letter. But a good heart is a pot of gold.
 
The leader of Tamil film actors has spoken at length against the interests of caste associations. This has given rise to criticisms from the caste associations. They have started retarding his accusations.

The caste associations' spokesmen cast tirades against actors in general and Vijayakanth in particular in the meetings held by them, in the following manner:

Vijayakanth talks long as if he is a social worker. Why do actors like him have associations of fans in their names? We are running our associations to ventilate the grievances experiences by the members of our caste to the Government. Our caste men are also a part and parcel of the general public. We do good to a portion of mankind. But the fans' associations of these actors do no good to the common cause of people. They create a perfect pandemonium in theatres at the time of the release of their favorite heroes' films. They sell tickets in black market.

When actors have their own henchmen and associations of fans with all sorts of paraphernalia such as flags of their own as if they are some political parties, why we shouldn't have associations to propagate the interests of our own cast men? When the actors can compel their hero worshippers to vote for a particular political party, well, why not we do the same thing?. It would be better if the artists confine their acting abilities within the arena of films.
