Though there are not enough visuals, the “Rama Rama…” song has been uploaded in full and is a rocking number from AR Rahman.

Rumourmills in Kollywood say director Shankar and Rajnikanth are angry and worried about the “leak” of songs. The film, being made at a cost of Rs 120 crore, has AR Rahman scoring the music. Aishwarya Rai plays the heroine.

The shooting for the film is going on at a brisk pace and may hit theatres this year itself. The science fiction thriller, in which Rajnikanth plays a double role — as a scientist and a robot he creates– may reach theatres this year itself.

Aishwarya Rai may be related to both Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan but it is Rajnikanth who really impressed her.

The actress may not have had a release in months but she is still one of the most sought celebrities.

Aishwarya was recently seen celebrating 10 years of an international cosmetic brand in Mumbai and was quite thrilled about bagging the Star of the Decade award at an award ceremony.

“It feels great to receive the awards for actor of the decade feels like a mini lifetime achievement award and I like to thank all people who I’ve worked with,” she says.

The actress who completed 10 years in the film industry has worked with some of showbiz’s biggest and best so far but it’s her latest co-star Rajinikanth who seems to have impressed her the most.

While we may or may not endorse it, he has beaten the likes of Shabana Azmi, Om Puri, Anil Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and of course the current darling of the West — Freida Pinto — to bag the top spot. No mean achievement for a first-time film actor!

But, while many may rejoice at the fact, is Dev’s win really something to do with his special talent? Or, is his just a case of ‘flavour of the season’? Filmmaker Apoorva Lakhia thinks it is the latter. “These lists are generally compiled not on the basis of calibre, but rather it’s about what’s ‘in’ now. SM has been a huge success, and Dev and Freida have been all over the place. It’s all about clout and recall value. You cannot definitely compare one-film wonders like Freida and Dev to seasoned actors like Shabanaji and Om Puriji,” says the filmmaker.

Superstar Rajinikanth is one man who has his own magic to steal the hearts of others. This time, it was none other than his co-star and the gorgeous green eyed beauty Aishwarya Rai.

Ash happens to be his leading lady for the film ‘Yanthram’. Usually when Rajini is in Chennai he gets his food from the home. So when the shooting of their movie was on in Chennai, it is heard that Rajini arranged for special food even for Ash from his kitchen.

It is said that the pretty lady was relishing those delicacies and was impressed with the food stuff that was coming from the superstar’s kitchen.

‘Yanthram’ has been progressing briskly without a break and this is being directed by the showman of the south, Shankar.

It seems unusual that one of the most romantic off screen movie stories – that of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan – has not been seen in a straightforward romantic situation on-screen since their marriage.

Soon, we’ll be seeing them together in a tale of forbidden love in Raavan. But the pair are quite happy with this situation. “It’s wonderful because even we as actors, over the years, have been gravitating towards experiences as characters in a lot of movies,” says Aishwarya.

As well as Raavan, Aishwarya has also been working hard on Endhiran with Southern legend Rajnikanth and she has talked about how excited she feels to have the opportunity to work with him.

“We’ve all grown up watching Rajinikanth films and all those moves – it’s been exciting, everyone around me was excited about me working with him,” she explains.

One of Bollywood’s most interesting directors is Vishal Bhardwaj with movies such as Maqbool, Omkara, Nishabd and No Smoking under his belt. He’s currently working on Kaminey with Priyanka Chopra, Shahid Kapur and Portuguese actors Eric Santos and Patricia Bull. Now news reaches us that he has signed up Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for his next production, Timbuktoo. “I was very impressed by Vishal’s work,” says Aishwarya, “But he insisted that we would work together only when he found absolutely the right project. That has finally happened. Vishal has bounced the script off me. And we both feel this is the right project for us to come together.”

Robot as Enthiram was known earlier was in news constantly for various reasons. Earlier Shah Rukh Khan was approached to play the lead but he refused due to creative differences with director Shankar. But then Shankar managed to convince the biggest of superstars, Rajnikanth. After some creative hustle and tussle, Robot was renamed as Enthiram.

The film is to be produced by Ayngaran and Eros International. AR Rahman has been roped in for scoring the music. This will be the second film for Aishwarya Rai under Shankar’s direction after ‘Jeans’.

Earlier, in an interview to a news daily, Aishwarya Rai talked in glowing details about the Tamil superstar, “Rajini Sir is such a wonderful human being. He has been so close to the family, too. I am glad and honoured to be working with him.”

While speaking to reporters during the inauguration of a boutique in Gurgaon, Aishwarya talked about her experience of working in Robot (Enthiram) and was all praises for the veteran Tamil Actor.

Describing the experience of working with the superstar as brilliant and invigorating, the beautiful actress heaped praises upon Rajnikanth. She was in awe of his professionalism and his humility in particular.

The actress also said that working with director Shankar is truly a learning experience. Aishwarya Rai said that it was exciting to work with these two stalwarts. But she admitted that she had a hard time practising Tamil after eight long years. Aishwarya’s last Tamil film was Kandukonden Kandukonden in 2000.

But the actress was tight-lipped on her upcoming project with Mani Ratnam. She said, “I am bound by ethics and cannot divulge much information.”
