Kamal Haasan, Mohanlal and Paris Hilton in the same movie?
Tuesday February 14 2006 00:00 IST, IANS
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Well known Malayalam director T. Rajeevnath, scouting for a suitable actress to play the title role in his film on Nobel Peace laureate Mother Teresa, has sent feelers to American actress Paris Hilton.
"My agents in California have contacted Paris Hilton," Rajeevnath told IANS.
The director said he was impressed when he read a report sometime ago in which the hotel heiress said she had refused to pose nude in Playboy magazine and decided then to shortlist her.
The English film will be mostly shot in West Bengal and in several foreign countries.
"The preliminary script has been readied with help from scriptwriter John Paul," the director said.
Rajeevnath, 54, has won a national award for direction, besides quite a few international awards. His popular films include "Moksham", "Janani" and "Thannal".
"Mother Teresa" will be his 11th commercial film and he has already sold this idea to a few international production houses including the US-based First Serve International.
"I am leaving for the US early next month to finalise the producer. A few production houses have evinced interest in producing this film. The budget is expected to be in the range of Rs.500 million to Rs.600 million," he said.
"Although there are several actresses willing to play the role of Mother Teresa, the most widely respected and loved person, the history of the actress who is finally chosen for the role would have to be analysed thoroughly before she is chosen," said Rajeevnath.
"All those whom I have contacted have agreed to do their bit to help me in this film. The cast includes Mithun Chakravarthy, Kamal Haasan, Mohanlal and several others. Veteran cameraman Santosh Sivan has also been roped in. The Ramoji Rao Film city has pledged full support for the venture," added the veteran director.
Among the specialties of the film would be the character of former West Bengal chief minister Jyoti Basu, whose association with Mother Teresa is well known.
"The proceeds of the film would go to the Missionaries of Charity. By June this year, the groundwork for the film would be complete and I propose to begin shooting in early 2007," said the director.
Rajeevnath expects to get the blessings of the Pope for the film and also hopes to sign in sitar maestro Pandit Ravi Shankar as music director.

Netru Indru Naalai
A R Rehman has composed the music for the show this year. Almost all the young stars from the Tamil film industry --including Prashanth, Vineet and Sandhya, to name a few --are a part of the show. From Bollywood, Vivek Oberoi, Shilpa Shetty and Abhishek Bachchan are participating. A, Oberoi and Shetty will be grooving to the the A R Rahman composition Chhaiya Chhaiya, from Ratnam's first Hindi film, Dil Se.
The show, a musical on the yesterday, will focus on the today and tomorrow of Tamil cinema.
--
Sabu Cyril (sets), Vasanth (creation) and Rajeev Menon (lighting), kala (choreography)are helping Mani Ratnam execute the idea.
More than 20 sets will be changed in the stage show. When Ratnam asked Cyril to design the sets, he "jumped at the idea."

いや別にパスポート持って出奔した訳じゃなくて、群馬県にテーマ遠足に行ったのだ。午後に前橋でタミル映画を見て（同行の師匠によるレポート）、夕方から高崎市郊外の南インド料理専門店【チェンナイ】へ。
その映画、Porkaalam (Tamil - 1997) Dir. Cheran は見応えのある傑作。日頃から莫迦映画好きを自認しているが、Alaigal Ooivathilai (1981) Dir. Bharathirajaa、Vedam Puthithu (1987) Dir. Bharathirajaa などの系譜に連なる「空想的理想主義」のタミル映画（しかし、欧米流のヒューマニズムとは必ずしも同調していない部分があるのが面白いのだ。そしてこのカテゴリーはどうしてか皆田舎が舞台）もなぜかツボにはまっている。最近のものはチェーランの最新作 Autograph (2004) も含めて、妙にチマチマと保守的な気がする、単にそういうのにばっか当たってるだけかもしれないけど。
【チェンナイ】は轟々たる街道沿いに意表をつくオサーレーなインテリアの店。異彩を放っていると言ってもいいかも。

メニューもこの通りオサレで品数豊富。

ミールス全景。ものすごいボリューム。しかし宴席に参加の全員がご飯／おかず共に何度もオカワリしたのだ。
※ただしミールスはレギュラーメニューにはない。バナナの葉も参加者の一人である常連氏が持ち込みしたもの。

トマト、ニンニク、その他のウルガイ（urugai)。アツァール？といったら隊長から訂正が入った。微妙に違うものなのだそうだ。この手の用語は奥が深い、料理書などをみても chatney, pickle, urugai, thuvaiyal, thokku, atchar などなど、おそらく言語を異にする各種の単語が入り交じっていて混乱する。だれかこの辺をきれいに整理して解説してくれる人がいると助かるのだが（インド人ですら混乱してるみたいだから無理か）。そういや、ドーティ（dhoti)とルンギー（lungi)の本当の違いは何か、なんてことも話題にのぼったっけ。
;)
この日一番感銘を受けた野菜のワダ。普通のワダとは違って外はカリカリ、中はみっしりとボリュームあり。衣こそついていないがカツレツに近いイメージの逸品。
;)
ご飯の〆はヨーグルトぶっかけで、ってことでメニューにないヨーグルトを頼んで待つ間、一同最後に残しといたご飯を無意味にこね回してみたり。
最初から皿に載ってたセモリナ・ハルワを平らげた後に登場したダメ押しのデザート、グラブ・ジャムも手作り。これに加えて南印度コーヒーの波状攻撃に、さすがの爆食猛者たちも（悠然たる隊長を除いては）息も絶え絶え。御馳走さんでした。

気になった話題：その１
メンバーの一員の某氏が複数回体験したという満漢全席について。いや、これはもう単なるグルメとかグルマンの範疇を超えた真剣勝負なんだな。極限状況の中での人間ドラマというか。

気になった話題：その2
メンバーの別の某氏が最近興味を持っているという、南印ムスリム料理について。確かに北印から伝播したペルシャ／アフガン系のイスラムと、アラビア海から直接伝わったイスラムが、スリランカも含めた南印の中でどのように棲み分けしているのか（あるいはどのように混交しているのか）というのは大変に気になる。

気になった話題：その３
中国大陸における回族（あるいはムスリム）料理について。新疆、甘粛を中心とするシルクロード・エリアの回族料理は北中国をはじめとして全土で大ヒットしているらしい。他方、アラビア商人が海路で持ち込んだという泉州あたりのイスラム料理はどんなものなのか。また雲南省タイ国境付近の少数民族ムスリムはどんなだろう。
イスラム世界全般にそれほど興味を持ってる訳ではないのに、少数派ムスリムとなるとなぜか妙に好奇心がかき立てられる（我ながら天の邪鬼）。

Vadivelu makes people cry. January 11, 2006
Even as a comedian, the tantrums that Vadivelu throws on the sets are sending the directors wild. Imagine what racket he must be making now that he is the hero of Imsai Arasan Irupatthimoondram Pulikesi! True to the very name of the movie, the imsai he creates for the costume designers and make over artiste is endless.
"Is this the costume for a hero, man...? Does a hero look like this...?' shouts Vadivelu, in Pulikesi style. Poor guys, whenever Vadivelu walks into the sets, they shiver. The guy who makes you laugh makes them cry.

Film ministry archives in VCD, DVDs
Our Bureau / KolkataJanuary 23, 2006
Films Division of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting is in the process of compiling an archive of around 8100 films and rare footages in its possession, said Raghu Krishna, Director, Mumbai International Film Festival (MIFF) and Chief Producer of Films Division at a press meet on MIFF.
"We are planning to compile an archive and convert old and rare footages into video compact disc (VCD) and digital video disc (DVD) formats. For this purpose, the material has been divided into three categories. 'Most precious' is the category we will try to transfer to high-definition film, while the 'precious' and 'normal' categories will be transferred to standard definition film", said Krishna.
Krishna said that the budget for this archive transfer will be fixed once the viability of the project is assessed.
"The budget would be given by the the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. There would be no outside funding", informed Krishna.
Channels like Rajshree Productions, History Channel and Music Today have shown interest in marketing the content of these films, said Krishna.
However, the VCDs and DVDs of these archive films will be available from the 10 outlets of Films Division all over India and from the three offices in Kolkata, Bangalore and Delhi, said Krishna.
Since the presence of salt in the Mumbai air has spoilt footages before, Krishna informed that the civil construction wing of Prasar Bharti has been given the responsibility to see that more archival material is not destroyed.
