Simbu & Dhanush exchange blows due to Sachin Anthem?

Dhanush’s ode ‘Sachin Anthem’ to the cricket legend was removed on Youtube in the wee hours yesterday morning (February 10) by JR Mediaworks. After the video was restored, Dhanush and Simbu took to twitter and took a dig at one another.

It is said that JR Mediaworks claimed the copyrights for this initiative by Boost as they composed a similar tune quite some time back, following which the video was removed on Youtube.

Later the ‘Sachin Anthem’ team tracked down the person who claimed for the copyrights on a social networking website and approached them after which the copyright claim was withdrawn and the video was available again on Youtube.

Now what’s interesting is that the one who claimed the copyrights of this song is a friend of Simbu’s close associate, which was obviously noted by the ‘Sachin Anthem’ team while tracking down the person. Dhanush took at dig at STR and wrote “Some people smile at others’ misery; I smile right back at them for not knowing the purpose of being a human being. It’s called love”. Oh, and STR’s currently working on Love Anthem for world peace.

Pat came the response from Simbu, “Copy adikaradhula Chinaava vida bayangarama irrukangaley, success introduces you to the world but defeat introduces the world to you! Actually, none of us in this world have an enemy”.

But what really remains a question unanswered is why the video was initially removed on Youtube for no video is removed without an authentic proof, and that too if it comes from the ‘Kolaveri’ boy who received the Youtube Gold Award!

The makers of the song are expected to clear air on this front shortly…

Charmi is shocked about the leaked pictures

Charmi’s few explosive pictures were released few days ago. It seems that, those pictures might have been shot during the photo shoot of theCCL calendar shoot in Goa, which was a few weeks earlier.

Charmi says that, “Those pictures are not mine’s. They are morphed pictures. That CCL photographer’s crew should have leaked those morphed picture for the sake of their cheap publicity.

Regarding this, Charmi adds that, “I saw the picture two days back and I was left dumb founded.

I agree that it was a picture taken during the CCL shoot, but if you compare it with the one in the calendar, it will be clear that the latter is morphed.
The costume in this picture is obviously very revealing unlike the original CCL calendar photograph,”. On their side, the organizers of the CCL5 clarified their stand by saying that, “There were more than 10 photographers that shot the calendar .

It can’t be a leak from the photographers’ team. We had released a three-minute video of the making of the calendar to various media houses for promotion.

CCL watermark is inscribed on videos and not on photographs,” The organizing committee points out the fact that, those leaked still shot has a watermark on it. They too say that, “This looks like a mischievous act for cheap publicity,”

Nayan donates Rs.5 lakhs for Amma’s relief efforts

Actress Nayanthara was in the news recently for her alleged break-up with her beau (ex?) Prabhudeva. The actress, who had a three-and-a-half-year long affair with the bearded choreographer-filmmaker, has now called off their stormy affair and has started accepting projects in Telugu and Tamil. While personally this might have a great setback for her to contend with, her fans aren’t complaining at all.

Nayan has straightaway landed up a big project in Tamil as Ajith’s heroine in his upcoming film after Billa-2 to be directed by Vishnuvardhan. Notwithstanding her personal crisis, Nayanthara has showed her other side of being compassionate to fellow human beings when she voluntarily donated money to the chief ministers’ relief fund.

Irrespective of the advanced satellite-aided technology, more often than not, governments the world over fail in predicting natural disasters and the after-effects of such events. One such disaster struck the Tamil Nadu and Puducherry coast recently in the form of ‘Thane’ storm and left behind in its trail vast destruction of property and lives in both Tamil Nadu’s Villupuram and Cuddalore Districts and in Puducherry.

Many industrialists and VIPs have been meeting Amma and providing financial assistance to the chief minister’s relief fund to help the storm victims. Superstar Rajinikanth, Sivakumar and Kamal Haasan had earlier donated for the fund. Nayan met Amma at the State Secretariat in Chennai and handed over a cheque for Rs.5 lakhs.

Later, speaking to newspersons, she appealed to all sections of the society to come forward voluntarily to donate liberally for the cause.

Getting a clean U certificate from the Censor board officials, the film Muppozhudhum Un Karpanaigal,starring Atharva and Amala Paul in lead, is hot on the most awaited releases this February. Garnering attention for its lengthy foreign schedules in the Unites States this Kollywood release has cinematographer Sakthi Saravanan flexing his lenses for Director/Producer Elred Kumar.

Sakthi who presented an outstanding product in Director Venkat Prabhu’s Mankatha has taken things a step ahead for this project. For MUK the expert camera man reportedly hired Panavision cameras, which are capable of delivering truly high end results. Such gadgets have been exclusively used in Hollywood movies like 2012 and Superman Returns. Director Elred who is also producing the flick gave Sakthi full freedom to exercise his creativity, in order achieve something different for MUK. Without bothering about the costs, even the lights were hired from the Hollywood Studio in Las Vegas. The MUK audio single named Oru Murai was also released in LA earlier, with an interesting song sequence shot in the city. We are told that a pumping action sequence was captured with the help of 1200 camera lenses recording every minute detail. For this purpose the technical team had to stay inside their helicopters for 5 full days, as they wanted to make full use of the opportunity. The final results will be available for the audience to see, with the movie releasing this February 17th.
