Asin slams Tamil political groups

July 8, 2010

Asin is caught in yet another fracas. The actress is shooting for a Bollywood film Ready with Salman Khan in Sri Lanka. And in Chennai, certain political groups are up in arms against her for being in Colombo.

Asin said, "I'm truly upset that certain political groups in Tamil Nadu are targetting me for my decision to shoot a film in Sri Lanka."

The actress asked, "How can I be targetted for this decision? Ready was supposed to be shot in Mauritius, Thailand and then, Goa. Till a few days before the shoot, I didn't even know the final destination. When I heard it was Sri Lanka, I did express my concern to the producer and the director. While they understood my predicament, they too couldn't change the shooting location because things had already been planned.

The actress, who has completed three schedules for the Tamil film Kavalkaaran with Vijay, is genuinely concerned about having to face the ire of certain political groups when she visits Tamil Nadu for the next schedule. "Art should not be politicised and actors shouldn't be made to bear the brunt of political animosity because we are truly ambassadors of peace. I'm making an effort to reach out to the troubled Tamil community in Sri Lanka; and I think by being in their midst, I'm bringing a smile to their faces. I just hope others see this as a peace-building exercise," she said.

Asin added that actors aren't the only ones who are trying to build bridges. "On an average, there are six flights connecting Chennai to Colombo every day. Our cricket team visits Lanka, too. Then why is it that when an actor comes to shoot in Sri Lanka, people start some kind of propaganda?" asked the actress. (GUL)

"Universal Hero" Kamal Haasan to direct again

"Universal Hero" Kamal Haasan to direct again

July 6, 2010

Film icon Kamal Haasan will wear the director’s hat for a third time in his 50-year-long career even as younger daughter Akshara steps into the film industry as assistant to Rahul Dholakia.

Akshara does not want to follow elder sister Shruthi’s example and don the grease paint, said Haasan who was here for the inauguration of an retrospective of his films.

In his career spanning five decades, Haasan has only helmed two films, Hey Ram (2000) and Veeru Mandi (2004), and he is raring to call the shots again, having already zeroed in on prospective scripts.

"I will direct more films. Many young actors want me to direct and guide them. There are so many actors, people and talents, who haven’t got their moment of glory and if possible I’d like to help all of them. There are some scripts I am looking at," said Haasan.

The 55-year-old, who won his first National Award in 1960 at the age of five for his debut in Kalathur Kannamma, said that both his daughters are fiercely independant and make their own decisions.

"I don’t interfere in their career decisions, I give advise when it’s asked for. Akshara has started as an assistant on a film, though it’s not a part of my production house," said Haasan of his 19-year-old daughter.

Akshara and Shruthi are Haasan’s daughters with actress Sarika, who separated from the actor in 2002.

Haasan had flown in to attend the inauguration from Italy where he is shooting with Madhavan and Trisha for the film Manmadhan Ambu. (CHIT)
