Rajini’s next film to be directed by Maniratnam

 

Even as superstar Rajini’s fans across the globe are gearing themselves to celebrate their Thalaivar’s birthday on the auspicious day of 12-12-12 (a day which occurs only once in a century), news about Rajini’s next film has trickled in. A little bird tells us that after the release of Kochadaiyan, Rajini might choose to work with Maniratnam, who had made his Thalapathy almost 2 decades back.

As reported earlier, Rajini’s Sivaji (3-D version) is slated to hit the screens worldwide on the above-said date while his animated 3-D film Kochadaiyan release could be sometimes in summer 2013. As such, speculations as to whom would Rajini be working with for his next film have already started doing rounds. Names of directors such as Murugadoss and K.V. Anand are frequently referred to in this regard. Some even mentioned the name of Manirathnam.

Sources close to the Poes Garden residence of the superstar say on condition of anonymity that Rajini has almost finalized Maniratnam as the director of his film, after the two had a tête-à-tête at the star’s house recently during when the script of the to-be-made film was discussed threadbare

Mani had earlier made the super-hit film Thalapathy in 1991. One of the songs in the film, Raakkamma Kaiya Thattu….was voted among the best ever top-10 songs via an on-line poll some time back. One of the reasons for the super-success of the films was the music of Maestro Ilaiyaraaja. However, for his new film with Rajini in the lead, Mani is likely to tope in twin-Oscar winner A.R. Rahman as the music director.

Maniratnam and Kamal Hassan think to work together after 25 years

 

The 21st of this month marked completion of 25 years of  Nayagan, the 1987 Tamil film written and directed by Maniratnam. The cult classic based on the life of gangster Varadarajan Mudaliar was given pride of place in Time Magazine's 'All time 100 Best Films' for 2005. Strangely though, after this critically acclaimed project, the two movie maestros never really came together. However, all that is about to change now. We've learnt that Kamal and Mani will be reuniting to do their next film although it doesn't have anything to do with Nayagan. Rumor has it that after Nayagan’s runaway success, both actor and director became too big in stature to be accommodated in one film despite being family. Fact is, Mani is married to Kamal's elder brother Charu Haasan's daughter Suhasini. It was only when Nayakan completed a quarter of a century that Kamal and Mani spoke at length and decided their collaboration would have to happen 'now or never' . Kamal confirmed the news and said, "Mani and I did speak when Nayakan turned 25. I am not at liberty to divulge the details of our conversation . All I will say is, the answer to the question that haunts both of us . why not another film together after Nayakan ? will soon be answered. Nayakan is the most influential film of my career. I suspect Mani feels the same." We hear the upcoming film is likely to be a Hindi-Tamil bi-lingual .

Maniratnam’s current project KADAL is on its finishing stage , The latest news about KADAL ‘s Music is that  Kaviperarasu Vairamuthu's special lyrics will be featured in the film songs, The director has apparently borrowed two songs from ‘A compilation of Vairamuthu’s poems’ and a song from ‘Thanneer Desam’. A.R. Rahman's songs are the major highlight of this flick.
The film has Gautham and Thulasi in lead roles. Also in the star cast are Lakshmi Manchu, Arjun, Ponvannan, Pasupathy, Thambi Ramaiah, Arvind Swamy.

MATRAAN MOVIE REVIEW

The much awaited Maatran, Surya – K.V. Anand’s second work together is an full family entertainer and a treat for tamil audience. The story of conjoined twins and their life which has all the commercial elements such as Romance,Action,Emotion and Drama in perfect measure with some minor logical flaws.

The movie starts off with  Akilan and Vimalan’s birth  [Suriya]² whose father Sachin Khedekar  is an genetic scientist who is not recognised by the government which turns him a buisinessman who creates a nutrition product ‘Energion’ and which is a big hit throughout the nation brings him name and fame. Vimalan is a champ , curious in studies and literature, Akhilan is a care-free twin who enjoys life every moment. Kajal agarwal is a translator who meets akhil and vimal in a meeting and becomes their friend.

Vimalan falls in love with kajal and through kajal and her friend vimalan finds some issues in the product manufactured by his fathers company hence trouble starts to follow them which eventually leads to the creator of the product , his father who makes steroids in his product which cannot be found in analysis. This issue gets serious when vimalan gets to know about all the secrets and he dies in an accident.

The rest of the film is about how akhilan finds out the issues and what he does to solve it along with kajal agarwal. The graphics in the film is not much compromising in the duo scenes, Music has not played a much a big role in the film , Rettai kathire song s refreshing and backgroung score is good. 

Screenplay of the movie could have been more interesting Camera works and Location are awesome which is a visual treat, The movie is not much dragging after  the editing of 20 mins .

All over the film is a good entertainer for tamil audience might have been more interesting which can be rated a 3.5 out of 5
