Dhanush on smooch scenes with Nayan

Dhanush’s current project, Yaaradi Nee Mohini is produced by N.V. Prasad and directed by A. Jawahar who had his training under Selvaraghavan. It is a remake of the Telugu film, Aadavari Matalaku Ardhale Verule.

In a recent interview to a weekly, Dhanush was hurled a volley of questions about the on-screen chemistry with Nayanthara in this
project. He was particularly grilled to get first-hand information on whether there are any kissing scenes in the film as reported. Denying any such scenes, Dhanush said that Yaaradi Nee Mohini, though a romantic movie, is a thorough family entertainer with all the comedy elements.

Rajinikanth`s daughter more `director` than `actor`

There would have been no dearth of roles for Tamil actor Rajinikanth`s daughter had she chosen to follow in his footsteps.

Instead Soundarya Rajinikanth became a filmmaker and is now making "Sultan - The Warrior," a 3-D animation project that features her superstar father in the role of an armour-clad warrior.

"I have always been (a) behind-the-camera person," said the 23-year-old. "I`m more the director than the actor."

"So, do I see myself in front of the camera? No. But never say never, let`s see what happens later."

Directing a full-fledged Bollywood film remains one of her dreams and Soundarya said her favourite genre is fantasy - with supernatural settings, exotic lands and make-believe creatures.

"I really, really want to direct a film on fantasy," she said. "It fascinates me."

Surya or Arya

Cameramen like KV Anand and Saravanan have turned directors and so has RD Rajasekar, who has 2 solid stories on hand. One is for Surya, the other for Arya.


Unfortunately, both stars seem to be busy. "Whoever gives me call sheet first, I will start the film by this year end," says Rajasekar.


Usually when cameramen turn directors, they hand over camera work to others. But RD Rajasekar wants to do the cinematography himself for the first 2 films he directs and for subsequent directorial ventures, he will give opportunity to his associate friends.


Right now he's doing the cinematography for 'Sathyam' and 'Singakutty.' He's an ardent fan of John Woo. Getting recognition with 'Better Tomorrow' in Hong Kong, Woo has directed super hits 'Face Off,' 'Mission Impossible 2,' 'Broken Arrow' and 'Wind Walker.' The camera always roves in his films, instead of being stationary.
RD's aim is to direct films like John Woo
