Chitrangda has yet again floored everybody with her beautiful looks & influential on-screen avatar in Baazaar which released worldwide, yesterday. Directed by Gauravv K. Chawla, Chitrangda is seen sharing space alongside the Nawab of Bollywood - Saif Ali Khan and their chemistry is just flawless.

Baazaar boasts of a powerful narrative and Chitrangda's role is quite intimidating and of a strong-headed woman. She is an independent woman, a responsible mother and a perfect anchor to her husband.

Talking about her experience, the actor says, "Baazaar for me was a quick decision. I loved the character Mandira completely as she is both, responsible and lovable. Her character is absolutely important to keep the story flowing in order and is sure to keep everybody hooked/thinking."

The actress has always been quite selective in her scripts and with Baazaar we're sure to have her sway us yet again this season

V Studios and Saravana Bhava Films to break the rules

V STUDIOS AND SRI SARAVANA BHAVA FILMS 

FILMMAKER CAARTHICK RAJU DIRECTORIAL 

SUNDEEP KISHAN-ANYA SINGH STARRER ‘KANNAADI’ TO BREAK THE RULES OF HORROR GENRE

A horror film is governed by its own norms and patterns. A haunted house, a ghost possessing someone’s body, seeking revenge, a heart-wrenching flashback that justifies the ghost act – So if you think these are the unchanging formulae of a ‘Horror’ genre, then you’re perceptions and myth are going to be proven different. Welcome to the new face of horror through Caarthick Raju’s upcoming bi-lingual Tamil, Telugu film ‘Kannaadi’ starring Sundeep Kishan and Anya Singh in lead roles, which will bring you a newfangled dimension of this genre. 

When in anguish or felt cheated, there’s a common way of addressing the tormentor, where we say, “I see your real other face”. But what happens when the individual themselves see their 'other face'. That’s quite unimaginable and horripilating isn’t? The film will be based on this unique line, where audience will face a spine-shuddering experience in different lights. 

Sundeep Kishan has been proving to be a promising actor, especially after the release of ‘Maanagaram’ and ‘Maayavan’, and is immensely popular in Telugu cinema as well delivering several hits. His fan base has been gradually expanding due to his natural performance. Anya Singh hailing from Bollywood makes her debut in Tamil / Telugu cinema through this bi-lingual movie. She holds a prominent and prestigious value for being introduced by Yash Raj Films(YRF) in Hindi, which has introduced some of the beautiful and top talented actresses like Anushka Sharma, Parineeti Chopra and many others. YRF's team was of immense praise for the character offered to Anya Singh and they supported her casting in this film. Others in the cast includes Anandraj, Karunakaran, Poornima Bhagyaraj, Murali Sharma, Pragathi and with Vennela Kishore, Posani Krishna Murali, Rahul Ramakrishna in the Telugu version. 

Shedding lights on the film, filmmaker Caarthick Raju has said, “Kannaadi as a subject steered away from the cliches of a horror genre with gore and the redundant, deliberate scare moments, this we felt could be a key differentiator for the audience who are today looking for films true to a genre. The takeaway from the film also attributed as an important aspect, where one would be able to relate to, that small mistakes could lead to grave consequences for self and the near and dear."

SS Thaman is composing music for this film, which has cinematography handled by PK Varma with KL Praveen on editing, Videsh on art direction, Stuner Sam is choreographing the action sequences with Sherif as dance choreographer, while Sampath Alwar being the sound designer and Kirubakaran Ramasamy as the executive producer. 
Viji Subramanian of V Studios and Shanthi Srinivasa Guru of Sri Saravana Bhava Films are jointly producing this film. V Studios had recently produced ‘Madura Veeran’ and are producing the upcoming film ‘Aadai’ starring Amala Paul in lead role that recently created a sensation with the first look.
Touted to be a romantic-horror, 'Kannaadi' has been extensively shot across Chennai and Hyderabad

Actor Sivakumar clarifies on knocking out the mobile

ACTOR SIVAKUMAR CLARIFIES ON KNOCKING OUT THE MOBILE FROM A BOY WHO CLICKED SELFIE WITHOUT HIS CONSENT 

Actor Sivakumar has given an open statement of clarification about the incident that is being discussed by public and media. 

He says, “Taking selfies is something that involves the own interests as it might be something to relish with memories across your vacations and celebratory moments. I have no allegations or claims to make upon one’s personal interests. But when it comes to treating a socialite or a celebrity, it shouldn’t be the same there, where they deserve their privacies and respect too. It happened that from the moment I stepped out of the car and walked into the venue that was occupied with 200-300 people, I felt little disappointed to see around 20-25 people clicking selfies by pushing the volunteers and guards who accompanied me there. 

What I personally feel is that it is a courtesy to ask any celebrity or any person before they start clicking photos with them. A celebrity cannot be treated or taken for granted as a public property . I am someone, who has never hesitated to take photos at airport and any gatherings with hundreds and thousands of people. 

I am not claiming myself as Buddha or a saint, but an ordinary person like you and am leading a life that I love. 

Moreover, I am not requesting anyone to accept me as their leader or inspiring hero. Everyone is a hero in their own lives with their own ideologies, but at the same time, we should think at least for a while on how some of our deeds might affect others.”

Ratsasan bringing the moments of  Double Cheers with Joy and Celebrations on Day 25

Amidst the season where movies struggle to push through the race in box office, films with strong and exceptional contents always find its steering way to success. It’s not a myth but a proven fact that comes so much appealing through the incredulously grand success of “Ratsasan”. 

From the early business circle shows to the press and media screening followed by homogeneous response across multiplex and single screens, the film has possessed everyone with an impeccably surpassing results. If not, how would a film have its house packed shows even on the 25th day of its release? 

“Yes, what else can we say about this? We are bounded towards surprises one after the other, where the audience have escalated the movie with their sincere word of mouth publicity. To see them taking the film with uttermost involvement propels in me the responsibility to deliver more such projects. Moreover, the successful 25th day falling coincidentally on the birthday of filmmaker Ram Kumar offers us double delight. 

I wouldn’t just say that this is his birthday gift, but the result of his prolonged hard work. Each and  everyone in the team have exerted their prodigious effort to success. As a producer, I am happy that the career graph of Vishnu Vishal from a performer to STAR has happened through the film. Be it Amala Paul or the tremendous musical score by Ghibran, everyone have just nailed it to the core of heart and soul,”   says Producer G. Dilli Babu of Axess Film Factory.
