Little John: The tiny
"White Man"
Singeetham
who directed films like Pushpak and Apporva shaodarngal
has come up with this trilingual- English, Hindi and Tamil film, Little
John . The attraction of the movie is its graphics by Pentamedia
graphics, one of the best graphics people in the world. It's about a white
man (Bentley) who comes to India on a research and he stays near a temple.
He befriends a swamy who stays close by. The swami tells him about the
mystical powers of the nose ring of the deity of the temple and how
Bhairav an evil man is trying to usurp the nose ring to acquire
supernatural powers. The white man meanwhile gets jailed in a case of
mistaken identity. Bhairav tries to steal the ring but it slips and falls
into an anthill. The white man, to escape from the jail, is turned into a
7-inch man by the swami. This 7-inch man antics and his fight with the
Bhairav forms the story. This tiny man also romances with his fiancé (Jothika).
Anupam plays the swami and Nazar plays Bhairav. The film is scheduled for
an international release in January.
Roja's savior Selvamani
A
lover in need is a lover indeed, proved Roja's lover R.K.Selvamani (the
Tamil Director). We all very well know that a case has been filed against
Roja and her brother in the high court of Chennai by financer Mukunchand
Bothra, as the siblings could not clear their debts off. The court ordered
the seizure of her car, fridge and other house hold articles. But the
financer was not satisfied as the articles were not worth more than a lakh.
So, the financer urged the court to stop eight producers from paying Roja
her remuneration, instead contended they should pay him. Like the climax
of the movie, the hero R.K.Selvamani came to the rescue of his ladylove by
giving his 30 lakhs worth land as guarantee.
Chennai Court Puts Simran On Track
On
a plea by producer Devi Vara Prasad, whose Chiranjeevi starrer Murgaraju
is on the floors. The Chennai high court has directed the film's leading
lady Simran to act in the Chiranjeevi film till its finished. And not to
do any other film as soon as she arrives from her tour abroad.
Devivara Prasad, a leading Telugu film producer said in his writ that
Simran, who was to attend the shooting of his film Mrigaraju ,
did not report. And she left for a star nite in London and from their she
has gone to Canada to shoot for a Telugu film. The producer plea to the
court was that she should be directed to attend the shooting of the film
as soon as she comes to India and not to report for any other film. The
Chennai court has given a ruling to a similar effect. The actress, who had
recently accepted her love affair with Raju Sundaram the choreographer and
brother of Prabhu Deva, seems to have taken the producer for granted. This
is the first instance of a film producer seeking the help of the court to
enforce the dates of an artiste, says the industry circles. And this act
of his will put all the snob stars of industry on track.
