DIRECTOR SUSIENTHIRAN’S KENNEDY CLUB SPEAKS CHINESE NOW

The concept of ‘Content is King’ gets proven with a much surpassing magnitude and it’s a groundbreaking moment for the entire Tamil film industry indeed. Susienthiran’s upcoming directorial “Kennedy Club” is being dubbed in Chinese language, where the rights have been acquired for a whopping price of 2Cr. The film is based on the real life incidents revolving around women Kabaddi team featuring veteran filmmaker Bharathiraja and Sasikumar in lead roles. 

While the reception of Indian movies, especially for films like Dangal and Baahubali franchise has been pretty much greater in Chinese market, it’s a huge scenario to see that a Tamil movie has captured their interests. The theme involving sports, team spirit, breaking the hurdles and accomplishing the challenges have always been the heart and soul of International movies. In this aspect, the buyers in Chinese market were spellbound over the premise of “Kennedy Club”.

Just as the combination of Bharathiraja-Sasikumar-Susienthiran combination has its trenchant mark in Tamil film industry, it’s great to see that the trio’s unparalleled work has found its realms in International markets too.

Kennedy Club has an ensemble star-cast involving Samuthirakani,  Soori, Munishkanth, newcomer Meenakshi, Gayathri, Neethu, Sowmya, Smrithi, Soundarya and many others. The technical team comprises of D Imman (Music), R.B. Gurudev (Cinematography) and Sekar B (Art).

The film is produced by Thai Saravanan for Nallusamy Pictures, which is scheduled for worldwide release on Tamil New Year Day 2019.

VIVAN GOES PLATINUM

VIVAN GOES PLATINUM

Vivan Bhathena’s most recent metamorphosis is of this dashing dude with platinum pompadour and short sides hair-cut, in casual shorts and vest - a dapper and very ‘now’ look. Yet put him into a business suit and the he slicks back his hair and vavoom he transforms into a staid but very stylish businessman. 

Vivan has been changing his looks and his body since his first music video as the chocolate faced college kid in Falguni Pathak’s super hit ‘Maine Payal Hai Chankayi' to his more recent villainous roles in Dangal, Judwa 2, Hate Story 4 and now as he beefs up for his upcoming role as Hanuman in Kunal Kohli’s adaptation of the epic Ramayana - Ramyug.

Refreshingly unafraid of dramatic changes in his looks Vivan believes he must not just act the part but look it too. He works hard at his characterisation and is undoubtedly an extremely talent actor. Vivan has always searched for roles that challenge and excite him which is why he has always jumped at the opportunity to play the villan. He feels that “the villain has more shades to his character which can be fun to interpret.” 

Each of the negative roles he has played have been very different be it the urban, suave, devilish rake in Hero or the earthy desi boxer in Dangal or the comic villain In his super-hit Telegu film Raja. Putting on or losing 10 kilos, going platinum blonde or unruly red, wearing a three piece or going bare chested Vivan uninhibitedly woos the camera. Working hard on the characterization and the look Vivan makes certain he gives his very best to his roles. The more complex the character the more he enjoys preparing and playing the role. Which could be the reason Vivan is so excited about playing a positive role, for the first time, in Ramyug and what could be more positive than portraying Lord Hanuman
