gk reddy produced films like sp parasuram , m dharmaraju ma and many more in telugu and tamil languages . his son vishal made his debut as hero in 2004 with chellame which was a success . his next two films sandakozhi and thimiru turned out to be winners at box office . pandem kodi - telugu dubbed version of sandakozhi - is a hit in telugu too . now thimiru is being dubbed and released in telugu as ‘pogaru’ on 13th of this month with 100 prints . urltoken met with vishal on this occasion for chitchat . here are the excerpts -
though a section of the media have already reported that varu is playing a negative role in the film , there is no clear word on it . the shoot for sandakozhi is is expected to go on floors in the third quarter of the year , once vishal completes his thupparivaalan and irumbu thirai .
putting all the complications aside , actor vishal and linguswamy has come together for sandakozhi sequel . in recent tweets from the pandiya naadu star , it was clear that he is doing the flick and sounded excited about the project . moreover , vishal has several projects in line that are in mostly pre - production stage .
vishal krishna starrer sandakozhi was released in 2005 under the production of vikram krishna . the character of lead actress was played by meera jasmine , where she beautifully portrayed the character of hema . the scheduling for the film will begin soon , where movie is expected to hit cinemas in the early part of the next year .
the heavily delayed film sandakozhi 2 has finally signed a female lead – keerthy suresh . lead actor vishal confirmed that keerthy had joined the cast and said , “we will be starting the project in february 2017” . the film was announced in early 2015 , and was shelved after vishal had a fallout with the film’s director lingusamy .

what is the influence of your father on you ? i learnt two things from him . one is patience . and other one is will power . he wanted me to establish as successful hero in telugu too . we got several offers from telugu producers and directors for remake rights of sandakozhi . but my father was adamant that he would dub the film . my father’s decision did the trick for me .

it is unclear whether varalaxmi plays the second lead or an antagonist in the sequel to the film of the same name . currently , the pre - production is underway and the director is busy giving final touches to his script . a couple of months back , it was announced that actress keerthy suresh has been brought on board to play the female lead . after anjaan , which came out in 2014 , lingusamy has been actively involved in producing films . the director currently has sandakozhi 2 and an untitled tamil - telugu bilingual with allu arjun in the lead .
it looks like varalaxmi sarathkumar is on a signing spree . with more than half a dozen films in her kitty , she recently signed a film titled vargam opposite rk suresh . the team is planning to wrap up the entire shoot in a couple of days . the latest addition to her film list is director lingusamy’s sandakozhi 2 , which has vishal as the hero . a source in the know tells us , “it is true that varalaxmi has been roped in to essay an important character in the movie . however , i can’t divulge more information on her character at this point of time . shooting of this project will commence sometime in july . ”

it is well - packaged film without any big stars or unwanted sentiments . technically , the film is slick with good music by yuvan and outstanding camerawork by jeeva and nirav shah .
balu ( vishal ) an engineering student goes with his friend karthik to chidambaran for a break . in chidambaram he meets hema ( meera jasmine ) karthik ? s sister and it is love at first sight . kasi ( lal ) , is a local goonda and dreaded criminal who runs the town .
after spending a few days with karthik ? s family , balu in an attempt to save a man from the menacing kasi , beats up the don to pulp in front of thousands . kasi is humiliated in his own territory by a stranger and now his henchmen are on balu ? s trail .
however surprise awaits the viewer when we come to know that balu is the only son of dorai ( raj kiran ) a local feudal lord and powerful leader in madurai . kasi swears revenge on balu and comes to madurai , but soon realizes that it is not an easy job to eliminate the young man ! how kasi goes about it and what happens in the climax forms the rest of this gripping action drama .
days as he is convincing as balu . he has proved that looks do not really matter and it is characterization and presentation that makes a hero click . his height and physique is apt for an action hero .
meera jasmine shows her superb timing for comedy as hema the naughty girl . most of the scenes that other actresses would have hammed , meera gets it just right . watch out for the scene in which she acts as being possessed , it really brings the house down .
raj kiran as the proud and tradition - bound local chieftain is perfect , but it is lal who is the surprise packet as the new villain from malayalam . he is in top form especially in the climax . the action scenes have been superbly choreographed by kanal kannan .
the songs of yuvan are a mix of peppy and melodious numbers with the background score and re - recording being the highlight . among the songs it is
especially the raj kiran character which is very similar to what sivaji ganesan did in the classic . the film drags a bit in the first half but picks up tempo and moves at a fast pace post interval .

meanwhile , the actor’s latest release thupparivaalan directed by mysskin opened to good reviews last week . apart from vishal , the film features prasanna , vinay , andrea and k bhagyaraj . the film is a detective story modelled on the likes of sherlock holmes and was also produced by vishal himself . thupparivaalan will have a sequel too which will see vishal and prasanna return as kaniyan poongundran and manoharan . thupparivaalan 2 will also be helmed by mysskin and produced by vishal .
vishal , who was in a meeting with sri sri ravi shankar says , ���i have waited for 14 months for this film to take off , and when i saw nothing was happening , i took up kathakali and marudhu . now i have completed even those two films , which were actually announced much later . and then , i heard that lingusamy is starting a new film ��� i was not aware of it till some 15 days ago . without even informing me , he went ahead and started this new project . he would definitely have started the pre - production for this project some two months ago , and he could have informed me then . but he told me that he wanted to start the allu arjun film next only when i asked about the final draft of my film . please understand that lingusamy doing a film with some other hero is not my problem ��� but he doesn���t even have the basic courtesy to inform me that our film together is not happening . i was the last person to know that my project has been put on hold . that is very unprofessional , and i felt that it would unethical for us to work together on this project anymore . ���
vishal adds , ���as the producer of the film , i have invested money in the pre - production work . i have also paid advance money to lingusamy . i wanted to sort out this financial loss amicably , but that didn���t work out , and so , i have now lodged a complaint against him in the producers��� council . ���

i ' m surprised no one visited this page to give their comments as this film was probably the only frontrunning tamil film during 2005 - 2006 . the title meaning ' fighting rooster ' was an apt title due to the climax scene as in a tamil village , a rooster fighting against another is a sport like soccer . this film is set mostly in the villages of tamil nadu and one gets a beautiful nostalgic feeling of the serenity of villages in this film . though the script depicts an action film with no new concept - a hero , his heroine , a villain and so on , there are developments one can witness in this film that makes it different from others . for one , the heroine , meera jasmine , does most of the comedy and the rejoicing in most segments is appealing . watching a relative newcomer , vishal reddy , playing his first - time action role with ease is amazing . never before have i seen a hero so befitting the action image and delivering his dialogues with dollops of power punches . there are no flaws in the films . if there are , they are extremely hard to notice . and i ' m not an action film fan , but this film made my day .

apparently , the city of madurai has been recreated at the 10 - acre land at binny mills in the city with art director rajeevan helming the affair .
apparently , the city of madurai has been recreated at the 10 - acre land at binny mills in the city with art director rajeevan helming the affair . a huge set resembling one of madurai’s key localities with 500 shops and a temple , is being erected . the introduction song of the hero along with thousands of junior artistes and dancers taking part at the temple festival will be shot at a whopping cost of rs 6 crore . sources say that some of the talkie portions will also be shot there . while keerthi suresh plays vishal’s pair , varalaxmi sarathkumar will be seen in a crucial role . veteran actor raj kiran is also being retained from the original . yuvan shankar raja will score the music . produced in vff banner , the shooting is said to commence by august 31 .
the dark humour is worked out well in this guy ritchie kind of scenario .
the plot revolves round a set of unconnected characters whose lives get interlinked as the story progresses . how the action of one inadvertently affects the life of another , being at the wrong place at the wrong time , mistaken identities and cross - talk confusion , all form part of the script . the detailing in the smartly written screenplay , the smooth flow of scenes , the seamless integration of the various characters and incidents into a coherent whole , and the deft treatment belies the fact that it is the work of a debutant director .
nonlinear in its narrative style , the plot travels on multiple tracks . each character is well fleshed out and given its space . and except for the main villain of the piece the dreaded gangster p . k . p . ( madhusudhan ) , we don’t get to know the names of the rest of the characters , it being irrelevant to the scenario . so while one is identified by the colour of his shirt , ' the guy with the red checked shirt ' another as a ' boy in the school ' etc . a smart move what with mistaken identities being the norm here than the exception !
the characters are from various strata of society . they include a youngster new to the city and on the verge of getting a job , an unemployed man often landing himself in trouble with the cops , a woman executive of a firm , a cab driver in dire need of a job , an unscrupulous cop , pkp the ruthless thug , a gang of small time extortionists and a simpleton who inadvertently becomes part of a kidnapping deal gone awry . colourful characters that pep up the proceedings , the sparkling lines lending an added flip .
the actors are suitably cast and perform well . like sundeep ' s nonchalance , shri ' s intensity , regina ' s matter - of - fact portrayal and charlie ' s emotional take on his role . the scene stealer is ramdoss who after ' mundasupatti ' gets a role right up his sleeve . reveling as the bungling kidnapper , the actor is hilarious .
the dark humour is worked out well in this guy ritchie kind of scenario . there are a couple of messages conveyed . that a common man when pushed beyond endurance can reveal a tougher side and that a ruthless cold blooded killer can also have a softer emotional side to him . but the stronger and a more relevant message is that a film need not boast of big names ; it need not be exorbitantly budgeted with foreign locations and glamorous song picturisation thrown in to make it an engaging experience . all that it needs is a solid screenplay , deft treatment and a right selection of cast to make it an interesting and an eminently watchable fare . ' maanagaram ' is proof of that !

hrithik roshan’s kaabil has been in the headlines for various reasons in the recent past . the bollywood drama , which is set for a january release , is in a race with shah rukh khan ’s raees and both the movies seem to follow a similar marketing strategy . while raees released its item song , laila main laila yesterday , kaabil was one step ahead and came out with their first item number a week ago . kaabil , an action thriller , has its plot about hrithik roshan in the role of a blind lover , seeking revenge from the bad guys played by rohit roy and ronit roy .
the remix of haseeno ka deewana , staring the sizzling urvashi rautela , was well received by hrithik fans . however , a twitter user revealed a blunder made by the makers of kaabil in haphazardly releasing the item number .
the trailer of the movie clearly showed that the movie revolved around four protagonists , hrithik roshan and yami gautam as a lovestruck couple and rohit roy and ronit roy donning the shoes of the negative characters . however , a scene in haseeno ka deewana clearly shows that rohit roy dies before the song in the movie , which clears the plot of the movie !
@ misterbistar we all know that char will b killed anyways . # kaabil team raised curiosity element “how” . u fell for it . wanted ppl 2 notice it
when you release an item song for the views , but accidentally include the death of one your 4 main characters in the film . # kaabil urltoken
first spotted by twitter user , nihit bhave , who pointed out the blunder and the comments that followed were all on the same page . some readers were fast to point out that the only character that matters in bollywood movie is the hero , while others argued that maybe the revelation was planned to gain people’s attention !
@ misterbistar the makers don’t consider it ‘main’ . there is only one character in the movie like in ever bwood film - the hero .
kaabil has already been questioned for its plot , as netflix alleged that the plot is similar to their original series , daredevil . the internet also trolled the movie for hrithik playing the role of a blind man and wearing a watch . this new blunder reduces the interest around kaabil even more , which will clash with raees on january 25th .

priyanka is producing the film through her and her mother madhu chopra’s banner purple pebble pictures .
priyanka couldn’t make it to the fest , but madhu along with her son sidharth chopra attended the trailer launch of“pahun” , directed by paakhi a . tyrewala , at the festival on may 21 .

pahuna is a story about the love , strength and courage of three nepali children who get separated from their parents , while fleeing the maoist agitation from nepal to sikkim . the entire cast and many of the technicians are from sikkim .
as the title of the film suggests , the poster of pahun ( the little visitors ) puts the spotlight on two local children giving intense looks . in the background , one can see the little girl cooking something in a pot and the boy looking after a baby .
tyrewala said : “thirteen years ago when i went to darjeeling and gangtok , i realized how easily i was accepted by the people as one of their own . soon , i forgot that i was a guest and began to see the mountains as my home and that has never changed . ”
“in pahuna , i wanted to capture not only the beauty of sikkim but also the beauty of its people . ‘pahuna’ is the story of people of sikkim . my vision is not to take sikkim to bollywood , but to bring bollywood to sikkim ! ”

“the seven five , ” an engrossing documentary about extreme corruption in the new york city police department during the 1980s and early ’90s , could be the crime drama martin scorsese wishes he’d made . or may yet make .
“the seven five” principally chronicles the bad cop things dowd and his partner , kenneth eurell , did while they were charged with serving and protecting the largely impoverished residents who lived in the crime - plagued 75th precinct of east new york .
russell shapes this true - crime narrative with the energy and action of a great gangster movie . despite being a documentary , “the seven five” can be watched alongside any great gangster movie . and the new york accents are legit .

with encouragement from defense attorney william kunstler , the seven other defendants did whatever they could to disrupt the trial through such acts as reading poetry and chanting hare krishna . while the jury was deliberating their verdict , judge hoffman held the defendants in contempt of court for their behavior and sentenced them to up to 29 months in jail . kunstler received a four - year sentence , partly for calling hoffman’s court a “medieval torture chamber . ” five of the chicago seven were convicted of lesser charges .
just watched the documentary “the seven five” , very well done , highly recommended , but dowd came across as the same piece of shit he’s always been , even at 55 years old he’s still a stupid , washed up thug who thinks what he did was “cool”… how this pos only got 12 years is beyond me .

a movie like “the seven five” has only minor use as a historical document ; its principal function is to package gonzo tales of bad behavior into commercial entertainment that plays down the real suffering behind those stories . mr . dowd’s vehement narration does have , at times , a vague joe - pesci - in - “goodfellas” feel , which is amusing only if you ignore the historical record . in 1988 , when mr . dowd was still on the force , an estimated 100 people were murdered in east new york . those dead should haunt “the seven five , ” which instead breezes through its crimes while tossing out grim images of unidentified black and brown bodies . i wonder if these will show up in the fictional version that as variety reported , sony won the rights to after a winning bid of “around the seven - figure range . ”
the documentary “the seven five” giddily revisits the true - crime deeds of michael dowd , a former new york police officer who was arrested in 1992 with a stash of cocaine on him . as the ringleader of a crew of dirty cops stationed at the 75th precinct in east new york , he padded his income by stealing money , guns and drugs from dealers . he eventually graduated to working for drug rings , one of which put him on retainer so he could provide information about narcotic operations . “the seven five” has been called “the cop version of ‘goodfellas , ’ ” which may explain why sony has plans to produce a fictional remake . here’s hoping that version uses a better moral compass .
in an obvious and commendable sense , tiller russell ’s riveting feature “the seven five” can suggest a mash - up of other works concerning crime in the modern era , movies as diversely powerful as scorsese’s “ goodfellas , ” de palma’s “ scarface , ” sidney lumet ’s “serpico” and “ prince of the city ” and james gray ’s “ the yards . ”

both wrenching and enlightening , “the seven five” avoids sensationalism to provide a nuanced , thoughtful account of material that’s at once sordid and instructive . i came out of it hoping ( futilely , no doubt ) that hollywood producers aren’t already lunging to turn it into a big , splashy crime epic . we’ve already seen that movie , too many times . the real thing is far more sobering and useful .

russell’s film is hair - raising , hilarious , dizzying stuff , building up to a nutty kidnapping - murder plot that mike planned around a fake flower delivery , only to see on tv news that some other thug used the gag first . “the flower thing can be used a few times , ” he argued . “not every flower delivery is a f - - king armed - robbery - murder ! ” “the seven five” is cruelly funny , roguishly charming , as cool and crazed and tough as the big bad city itself .
the five men whose convictions in the brutal 1989 beating and rape of a female jogger in central park were later overturned have agreed to a settlement of about $ 40 million from new york city to resolve a bitterly fought civil rights lawsuit over their arrests and imprisonment in the sensational crime .
dowd only became a police officer by chance . the third of seven children born to a firefighter father and stay at home mother he was a good student who was advised to consider becoming ' a doctor , a lawyer or an accountant ' .
the trial of the “ chicago seven” begins before judge julius hoffman . the defendants , including david dellinger of the national mobilization committee to end the war in vietnam ( mobe ) ; rennie davis and tom hayden of mobe and students for a democratic society ( sds ) ; and jerry rubin and abbie hoffman of the youth international party ( yippies ) , were accused of conspiring to incite a riot at the 1968 democratic national convention .
one aspect of “the seven five” with plenty of current resonance is its portrait of police culture . in one sense , dowd , though suspected by some of his colleagues , was able to take his criminal career to such lengths because of cops’ unwillingness to rat on each other . ( he eventually got popped by suffolk county police for selling drugs there , not by the nypd’s internal affairs unit . ) on the other hand , the film clearly suggests the relative rarity of bad cops like dowd in showing how difficult it was for him to get others to join him in his pursuit of easy money on the wrong side of the law .
in the late 1980s and early ‘90s brooklyn , ny was the murder capital of america and ground zero for the crack cocaine epidemic . one man led his crew on a rampage through the streets of east new york , robbing dope dealers at gunpoint , stealing countless kilos of cocaine and hundreds of thousands dollars in cash . he was a new york city cop . this is his story - - a high - octane documentary thriller about michael dowd , the dirtiest cop ever . his arrest in 1992 led to the largest police corruption scandal in new york city history . it all began in a brooklyn precinct known as the seven five . ?

there is another egalitarian argument for starting school early . pupils from poorer homes , with parents who are less able to help their learning , might be held behind if they didn ' t start lessons until six or seven .
hollywood could take lessons in gangster chutzpah from the real - life convicted robbers and dirty cops parading through tiller russell’s documentary “the seven five” : they flaunt their dubious achievements with deplorable yet somehow infectious glee . the title refers to brooklyn’s 75th precinct , which in the 1980s became a hotbed of crack wars , boasting one of the country’s highest murder rates , including numerous cop killings . onto this stage in 1982 strode 20 - year - old patrolman michael dowd , and the phases of his transformation from shiny young rookie to criminal mastermind , as recounted by dowd , his partner and appreciative drug lords , makes for riveting viewing .
the path was set . dowd graduated from the police academy in 1982 and was immediately assigned to the 75th precinct – one of the deadliest in the country .
in december 2002 , an investigation by the manhattan district attorney , robert m . morgenthau , found dna and other evidence that the woman had been raped and beaten not by the five teenagers but by another man , matias reyes , a convicted rapist and murderer who had confessed to acting alone in the attack . concluding that the new evidence could have changed the original verdict , mr . morgenthau’s office joined a defense motion asking that the convictions be vacated .
it’s that priceless dialogue , the bitter ironies , the magnificently skeevy cast of characters and even the overall structure that make “the seven five” “goodfellas” in blue . director tiller russell , a disciple of martin scorsese right down to the freeze - frames and the rolling stones music , lands knockout interviews with the principals , from mike ( a double for henry hill ) to kenny’s wife ( who sounds much like karen hill as she sheepishly admits , “money . . . always feels good” ) to adam diaz , the bryan adams - loving kingpin who sells kilos of coke in the back of a working grocery store . diaz says of a guy who crossed him , “he’s not around anymore . i’m not saying i killed him . he’s not around anymore . ” smile .
