Warner Bros has backed out of the Venkat Prabhu film, ‘Goa’, putting co-producer Soundarya Rajnikanth in a spot of bother. Warner Bros was earlier upset with Soundaya’s Ocher Studios for signing up Jai, an actor banned by the Tamil Film Producers’ Council. Though the ban on him was lifted later, fresh trouble arose as the Indian partner refused to part with information with regard to the script, stars and budget.
Though the Hollywood major has opted out of this film, their association with the other projects of Ocher Studios will continue, including ‘Sultan, The Warrior’, it is learnt.
‘Goa’ stars Jai, Vaibhav, Premji Amaran, Aravind Akash, Sneha, Pooja and Julie. Yuvan Shankar Raja scores the music.
Hi all..!!!!!!!!!
Everyone is waiting for the big release of Bala’s ‘Naan Kadavul’, with Arya in the lead, ‘Naan Kadavul’ all set to hit screens on Feb 6 of 2009. Bala’s shoot most of the film in the holy city, Banares and its story about how the normal man turns in to an Aghora sanyasi. So it must be a great delight for all religious seekers as well as to all folks in this world. The most giant walls for these films are Music Director Illayaraja and Arthur Wilson. Wilson cranks the camera and Illayaraja played music in this film.
It is the fourth project for Bala in his life carrier, and all his three films won a great applaud in Tamil film Industry. So we can expect ‘Naan Kadavul’ avatar Arya will get a minimum of one National award for this film. In addition to this, Pooja Umashankar plays the heroine in this film, which has been in the making for the last four years.
Director Bala couldn’t have asked for a better way to start the New Year. The audio of his film Naan Kadavul which stars Arya and Pooja in the lead, was released on New Year and the trailer which was screened on the occasion only raised expectations.
The function was attended by a host of stars, directors, producers and technicians including directors BaluMahendra and Mani Ratnam, and actors Surya and Vikram. On this occasion Balu MAhendra said, “Mark my words; this movie will fetch several awards in the International Circiut.” Also he added, “There was a time when I used to consider you as my kid. Now I look up at you as you’ve risen to Himalayan heights.”
Music Director Illayaraja, who has cored music for the film, was not seen at the function. However, Uttam Singh and Lyricist Valli represented him at the event.
