Suriya organizes surprise bash for Santosh Sivan

 
 Actor Suriya recently threw a surprise bash for Santosh Sivan in Mumbai to celebrate the news about the cinematographer being awarded the Padma Shri. We hear that Santosh had no clue about the plan until he landed at the party, which was attended by top film celebrities, including Shruti Haasan, Madhavan, Ritesh Deshmukh, Prabhudheva and Samantha. Of course, the entire team of Anjaan, which is currently being shot, was also present at the do. 
    Santosh Sivan tells us, “After we wrapped up the day’s shoot, the team called me to hunt for a few locations for the film’s next schedule. I told them that I was tired and would look into it later. But, they compelled me to take a look for a couple of spots and so I went with them. We went to a place first but director Lingusamy said that he didn’t like it. At that juncture, I had no clue about what they’d planned. Then they took me to a hotel where I saw Suriya and the entire crew waiting for me. The best part of the party was the surprise element — I really didn’t know how and when Suriya planned it, as I was very much around him during the shoot. That was just cool!” 
    The actor also organized a special dance show for the ace cinematographer. He adds, “They performed some of the hit songs from my films and I enjoyed all of them, especially Chaiyya Chaiyya. I can’t thank Suriya enough for this surprise.”

Kamal Haasan in Tamil remake of Drishyam?


Kamal might reprise Mohanlal’s role in Tamil remake of Drishyam
Ever since the Malayalam Mohanlal—Meena starrer Drishyam did wondersat the box office, besides winning critical acclaim, the film has been in the news, particularly since there has been a huge demand for its remake rights. Finally suresh balaji had grabbed its tamil, telugu and hindi remake rights. Many stars, including Chiyaan Vikram, showed a keen interest in doing Tamil and Telugu versions. Later, veteran actress Sripriya, who re-entered as a director with Malini 22 Palayamkottai, confirmed that she would be doing the Telugu version with T’town actor, Venkatesh reprising Mohanlal’s role.
Now, the latest speculation is that ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan will be seen in the Tamil and Hindi remakes of Drishyam, essaying Lalettan’s role, Georgekutty. Directed by Jeethu Joseph, the movie is a thriller and kamal Haasan will be seen playing the father of two teenage daughters. Apparently, Kamal’s adaptability to any kind of role  is common knowledge. However, when DC contacted suresh balaji, he said that nothing had been finalised yet as far as Tamil and Bollywood versions were concerned. “Kamal has watched the film and has liked it. We are talking to him. Nothing has been firmed up yet. And we approached him only for the Tamil remake. Hindi is altogether a different market and we plan to rope in a versatile Bollywood actor to play the lead. In a few day’s time, we will have a clear picture.” The probable names from B’town are Irrfan khan, Nana Patekar and Ajay Devgn.

The movie is a thriller and kamal Haasan will be seen playing the father of two teenage daughters.

Ramesh Aravind – Director and Actor


Directing Kamal Haasan
  I had earlier done a kannada film with kamal sir, which was a box-office hit. Now, Uthama Villan is going to be my first with him in Tamil. I feel completely honoured to direct a versatile artiste like him. He educates me on various topics and has helped me understand the nuances of filmmaking.

Actor OR Director?
I would like to be both. Though the director is the creator, it’s actors who bridge the gap between him and the audience, so both are equally important, and I wish to do both roles with dedication.
IF NOT CINEMA
I am a qualified mechanical engineer and would have worked in any concern related to my undergraduate degree.
What Annoys You The Most In The Shooting Process?
I love my profession, nothing irrigates me. But what I dislike most is that many people who come into the field are neither professional nor true to their job. They are not well equipped with knowledge about what they do and are not passionate about their job.
INSPIRATION
K.Balachander, Balu Mahendra and Kamal Haasan inspire me.
