SPECIAL TALK |
Simran
settles a score over Jothika ! 
Mouli directs Kamal
and Mohanlal
who act together in a film. Thenappan is the producer. Jyothika was originally
scheduled to act as the heroine with Kamal. Hearing this news, Simran sent her
manager to have a word with Kamal. The manager promptly echoed the view of
Simran. "Salary is no constraint at all. I shall allot the needed call
sheets, duly effectively necessary adjustment in my call sheets for Telugu
pictures. It's my long-time dream to act in at least one film with you."
Kamal was doubly happy as Simran herself has volunteered. Immediately he has
asked the producer to look for Simran
instead of Jothika
as the film's heroine. Now it is merry-go-round time for Simran as she was able
to score at least once over Jothika who had landed on many of her opportunities
in the past.
Divya Unni
Her name is Divya. 'Unni' is her family name. She belongs to Kerala. Her mother tongue is
Malayalam. Her father Unnikrishnan is employed in Cochin shipyard. Her mother,
Umadevi, is a teacher. She has a sister in Vidhya Unni. Vidhya is studying in
sixth standard. Divya entered the tinsel world, as a child artiste in the
Malayalam film, "Nee Ethra Dhanya". She has taken part in
modeling. She has acted in many T.V serials. After winning laurels by acting in
more than 25 Malayalam films, she has stepped into the Tamil film industry. She
had paired with almost all Malayalam heroes, including Mammooty, Mohanlal
and Suresh
Gopi. She had the break as a heroine in the Malayalam film, "Kalyana
Sowndiham", under the direction of Vinayan. Producer Ashok Samraj has
discovered Divya. He has brought her now to Tamil filmdom, for his film, "Kalvettu"
. But to his dismay, Divya's "Kannan
Varuvan" was released first. Although had a quick run away from
the theatres, Divya has hugged fast the Tamil film world.
In Cochin, a beauty contest is being held each year. The winner is awarded the
title of "Pookkalin Rani" (the queen of followers). Divya Unni has
been winning the title of "Pookkalin Rani" Consecutively, for the past
ten years.
Alai Payuthey 
Usually, Manirathnam is not known to hold any gala celebrations in connection
with the successes of his films. But now he has also fallen a prey to 'function
mania'. The celebrations for 'Alai Payuthey' is the example. He has conducted
the 100th day function within the premises of his Madras Talkies office.
Madhavan
has danced for the number "Pachchai Nirame, Pachchai Nirame" pairing
with Swarnamalya who had acted as his sister-in-law in the film. Swarnamalya
was dazzling in her gagra choli of rose colour. At the climax, Manirathnam, who
never raises his voice, was also lured into action. He joined with
Madhavan-Swarnamalya, with his light dance movements. Manirathnam's attraction
for dance has become the talk of the town.
The Saviour of Tamil Cinema
Hitherto, Kodambakkam had been seeing producers rushing to Mumbai, Bangalore,
Hyderabad and the like, in search of new faces. Often, they were successful in
bringing some new sensations to the Tamil Cine field. For the first time, Suvalakshmi
has changed this trend.
She went to act in Kannada films and brought in a producer to Tamil film
industry. The name of the producer is Magnate. Suvalakshmi has changed this
trend.
Now, he is producing a film with the title "Vikatan", with the
help of Suvalakshmi. Vikram
acts as a magic wizard in that film. Four Suvalakshmi would do..... why she
alone is enough.... to save the film world!
Kamalhasan gives call sheets 
Many people are in the waiting list to obtain call sheets from Kamal
hasan. But he had requested Priya darshan in public: "You can
direct your fiftieth film with me in the lead role!" The audience hailed
this generosity of Kamal.
The song cassette of Priyadarshan's 'Snehithiye' was released at Devi theatre.
Three song sequences were displayed on the screen. The sequences were displayed
on the screen. The sequences were full of females and females alone. Only one
male figure. It was also shown as a corpse. It's a 'ladies only' picture by all
means. Compare Radhika
of T.V fame, pointed out that "Snehithiye" was a heroine-oriented film
against the prevailing trend of hero-oriented films in the Tamil cine field.
Kamal spoke when his chance came by: "The conductor of the events had told
that there is the domination of heroes in Tamil filmdom. But I myself have
donned the role of a woman in the film, "Avvai Shanmuki" Despite being
an established hero, I am also trying my level best at all quarters". No
wonder, he drew spontaneous applause.
Khajuraho
Ashok kumar is the director of Khajuraho. "One can win more fame and
publicity by directing a movie like this than doing cinematography for ten films
like jeans. There are good stories around. I am also decisions of making good
films. But they will bomb at the box-office. That is my fear!"
Following is the storyline of Khajuraho:
A foreign student comes to India to do research on Indian culture. He reaches
Khajuraho to know about the viewpoints, knowledge understanding and expertise of
Indians in the matters of sex. There, he forms friendship with three girls. He
moves closely with each of them. They give him ample experience in love and sex.
Ashok kumar says that the lad's experiences have been filmed tastefully and at
the same time without the trace of any obscenity. Who acts as the researcher who
comes down to Khajuraho? He is none other than the son of Ashok kumar himself.
The name of the youth is Vishal.
Mamta
Kulkarni, Kasthuri
and Sathika
are the three friends of Vishal. Khajuraho is being produced busily. Soon, it
will hit the Silver screens and turn out to be a sexual feast!
