Director Chella guarantees a super-hit with Aalwar

Ajith is ready to rock, once again. The old suave and debonair look sits perfectly in place of the scrawny look with the right combination of weight and height. He is gleaming with inner strength, everything for Aalwar. Ajith takes the help of Omar Mukthar who says that ‘birth is signified by eyes opening and death by closing’ to convey his feelings. He is one person who believes that every day is a new day. He is very positive when he says that he would never ever fall again and would not let himself to fall.

Debutant director Chella is awed by Ajith. He is highly satisfied with the cooperation rendered by Ajith despite him being a rookie.

He recalls that Ajith exactly reflects his thought while performing in the sets resulting in a perfect shot. Though Ajith has a good standing in the industry, he did not let that interfere in Chella directing him. Chella fees indebted to him and expects to demonstrate his gratitude by giving Ajith a memorable hit for Aalwar.

Talking about the role that Ajith would be assaying in the film, he says it is the role of a ward boy in a hospital, which Ajith has never before done in his career. According to Chella anybody who is working in a hospital is like a mother as they cater to the needs of the inmates with care and kindness just like a mother. A small incident in the hospital sparks a violent change in the otherwise compassionate and sensitive Ajith who is totally metamorphosed after that. Though the movie may not be a milestone or a turning point in Tamil cinema, all the same, it would generate the necessary spirit among the audience.He also guarantees Ajith’s fans that Aalwar would be an entertaining chart buster which they have been expecting from Ajith for a long time.

Going by the contagious happy and confident mood, Aalwar is sure to be a top class hit.

Ajith in his silent mode

Ajith hardly ever spends time for an interview or two with the media and if he ever does, his quotes reverberate forever in the media for their controversial content. Such interviews gained him a conceited image and probably realizing that Ajith stopped giving interviews to the media.

This has taken a new turn now. Ajith is not seen talking to anyone these days – be it a function or a public gathering. His answer to the questions flung at him remains a smile – a nonchalant one.

He is otherwise seemed to be having a good time with his crewmembers in the sets of Aalwar and is particular in treating the technicians in his crew with due respect. Only time and Shalini can tell as to what kind of transition he is undergoing. But our assumption to this predictable transition is that he wants to keep himself off from the controversies – good to keep your lips pursed rather than inviting trouble by uttering something, what say?

Aalwar: Asin’s two shades of character

The entire Aalwar unit is contented with the way shooting has been progressing. Ajith has gotten back to his old handsome and charming look much to the delight of all his well-wishers. He seems to be ready for the battle for the top position in the industry. Ajith’s circle says that the ultimate star has rolled up his sleeve to face the challenge. He is totally charged and confident now.

But the news is not about that, but is about the character of the leading lady Asin in Aalwar.

People say that the character of Asin has really shaped up well in the film and has equal scope and opportunity with that of the hero. This talented Malabar beauty comes across as a college going girl staying in her grandmother’s place for her studies. Though appears to be a very calm and obedient girl indoors, she is totally the contrast outside her house. Understandably Asin has performed very well, clearly distinguishing between the two shades of character. Insiders expect that after Kalpana in Gajini, this role is sure to get accolades for Asin and would definitely be a milestone in her career.

Ajith in remake of Mohanlal’s super-hit flick?

Speculations were around even before the commencement of Alwar about Ajit’s next venture with the notable producer and Mohanlal’s father in law Balaji – we carried a report on this earlier.

Looks like the project is taking shape and Balaji’s son Suresh Balaji, who is in the ad film industry for quite some time, will produce the movie. The venture will be co-produced by the Mumbai based production company Adlabs.

News has it that the project is based on the Malayalam hit movie Kireedam that is hailed as a classic film with Mohanlal in the lead. The movie had a sequel to it as well namely Chengol. Does that mean Ajit is planning for a remake of two movies – sequels -which is as yet unseen in the industry? Both ways it will most certainly be a treat for Ajit’s fans.

Vijayanand, who is the son of A L Alagappan and the sibling of actor Udhaya, will direct the movie. Vijay has been assisting the veteran director Priyadarshan for some time before turning his ways into ad filmmaking. The shoots are reported to commence on December 15.

Ajith: Beyond just movies

The man who is called ‘Thalai’ by his fans impresses with his off screen persona. Normally recluse and media shy in his personal life, the press somehow got to know a few facts about this man and what came to light is very heartening. Ajith may just be setting an example for many others to follow.

We all know that most film personalities are involved in charities of some sort. But most of these are limited to cheque philanthropy; that is just to donate money. We are not saying that this is inadequate in any way.

But what Ajith is doing is a step above this. He gives not only his money but also his time to the underprivileged. Want to know further, read along.

Ajith and his wife Shalini are in the habit of regularly visiting a shelter for homeless children on the outskirts of Chennai. They spend the entire day with the children and get to know all that the children want and personally see to it that all their needs are fulfilled.

It is one thing to give one’s money, but it takes a really big heart to spend one’s time and take care of people who are not as lucky as oneself and Ajith is certainly showing the way for many others to follow. The fact that Ajith himself never disclosed this to the press or media shows that he is not doing this service as a publicity stunt. In respect of this humanitarian action the press has refrained from disclosing the name of that particular place which Ajith visits in order to avoid unwanted interferences.

Hats off Ajith.

Ajith’s latest hair style makes heads turn

Tirupathi’s 100th day celebrations were held at Ashok Nagar Lakshman Hall yesterday, 05/09/06 at 5.30 in the evening. Ramanarayanan who heads the Producer’s council bestowed mementos to all the technicians and artists who worked for the movie. AVM Saravanan was present in the function.

Ajith made heads turn with his latest hairstyle and his handsome attire. Shalini shined by his side in her sparkling outfit and they proved yet another time that they are a perfect couple made just for each other.

Ajith could be seen chatting casually with the technicians and he posed for photographs with the fans who were swarmed there for a glimpse of their favorite actor. He also took photographs with the technicians, theatre managers and other artists.

Earlier, S P Muthuraman welcomed the attendees of the function. The other celebrities who attended the function are Bharadwaj, R Sundarrajan, Mallika, Rajesh, Baskar and Perarasu. Lakshman Hall wore a star studded look yesterday evening, thanks to the function.

Tirupathi - Time to celebrate

Ajith is a reluctant participant in functions these days.

But the handsome hero will be seen in one, and with reason.

His Tirupathi has been a hit. And the production house AVM is all ready to celebrate the over-100days run of the film today.

There is a celebration meeting slated for the evening with Ajith being the center of attraction.

Perarusu, the film’s director, will also be there.

The honchos of AVM, including AVM Saravanan are also expected to participate.

Vijay and Ajith wave white flag in Asin issue

Asin is a busy lady nowadays. Her hands are pretty full or one might rather overflowing with commitments. What more, all those commitments are for films starring the big guys of the industry. The biggest of them all is Dasavatharam, then comes Vijay’s Pokkiri and then Ajith’s Aalwar.Out of the three, Pokkiri and Aalwar are being shot simultaneously.

Asin’s part in Dasavatharam still is a long way from being shot. So the focus is on Pokkiri and Aalwar. Earlier there had been news that Asin had absented herself from the sets of Aalwar to make herself available for Pokkiri, but that seems to be only partly true.

The simultaneous schedules have indeed resulted in some date problems for the actress. She is reportedly not able to fully satisfy both the directors and actors because she has to be constantly shuttling between the two units.

This has put both the crews in a spot. This topic has been much discussed and we have carried reports about Asin’s failing commitment to movies owing to her messy call sheet chaos.

In the midst of this, it is being said that some unknown interests are trying to take advantage of this situation and trying to instigate the heroes against the leading lady.

They are reportedly telling the heroes that the heroine is more interested in the other star’s project and that this could lead to further problems. It is not clear as to who is unleashing such talk, but one must say that the reactions by the heroes have belied expectations

Earlier one might have expected one of them to come out and make statements about the other star’s movie. We could also have expected the other star to react in a strong manner. After all, their rivalry is well known.

But the heroes seem to have grown out of their childish scrapping ways and have begun to respect each other. Both of them reportedly have brushed aside these gossips and said that such small talk was quite common in the industry and that it was not wise to heed such talk. Well, it seems that both of them are more concerned with rebuilding their careers than bringing the other down. Keep up the good attitude and also keep giving us good movies.

Vijay and Ajith - Healthy Competition

Currently Ajith is shooting for Aazhwar and the movie is expected to release by 2007 April. He has plans of doing a movie with debutant director Vijay Anand (An associate of film maker Priyadharshan) after completing Aazhwar. Aazhwar is planned to release on the day of Rajini's Sivaji.

Ajith's long time dream of getting the superstar title is not yet acheived. Now he is trying to compete with Rajinikanth. Already our Illaya Thalapathi Vijay is trying to grab the title. Competition is hot in the market now. We cinegoers have to hold our arse till next year to know the winner.
