Yes, we are talking about the same actress who quit films after marriage. She dabbled in politics briefly and even contested the Assembly polls, albeit unsuccessfully.
Now Roja is making a comeback films. She has signed a film titled ‘Kiladi’. Roja has essayed the roles of heroine in all her films. However, in ‘Kiladi’ she is donning a negative role. She plays the role of a villain in the film. With her looks, the ‘villain’ is sure to give the heroine a run for her money.
The film Lakshmi Kalyanam has done wonders for both Kalyanram and Ajay. While Kalyanram’s has matured as a performer, Ajay seems to have made a mark as a villain with this film. People who have watched him in Lakshmi Kalyanam swear that the industry has finally found a homegrown villain.
It has become a trend in Tollywood for quite sometime to import villains either from Kollywood or Bollywood. All this is likely to change to an extent. Ajay, who has shown a lot of promise as a villain in Rajamouli’s film, has now firmly established himself as a villain of good standing. All credit must go to director Teja for bringing out the best in Ajay.
It may sound strange but many comedians have expressed a desire to play villain roles. The comedians are very popular for their comic roles but some of them want to act as a villain, in at least one film. Brahmanandam, Ali, Sunil and others have said in public that they are looking for a chance to play villain. Each of them also is very particular that they would like to play a hard-core villain and not some joker kind of villain.
Sunil seems to be first of the bloc as far as villain roles are concerned. He has acted as a hero in a film. He has now bagged a big role as a full-fledged villain in a new film Sunil promises that the role will be like a mother of all villains. The actor will play a hardcore criminal in the film. Work on the film is likely to start in June.
2007/12/1 7:16:53 Fate can do many things to many people. It is quite common in the industry for people to make their debut as villains and then slowly transform themselves into heroes. Sri Hari and Gopichand are just two examples.
But we now have this rather strange incident of a hero turning into a villain. Sai Kiran, who debuted as hero in Nuvve Kaavali, is now playing villain in a new film titled ‘999’. Sai Kiran tried his luck at lead roles in some films but failed to click.
According to news reports emanating from Tollywood, a new villain from Bollywood has been signed up to play the villain role in Mahesh Babu’s Athidhi. Prakash Raj was the original choice but he is now said to be out of the project. The casual attitude of Prakash Raj is being cited as the reason for the replacement. The new villain Murali Sarma will now feature in the movie. Prakash Raj and Mahesh Babu have done quite a few films together and the last one was Pokiri.
Prithviraj is said to be the first choice to act as the villain in Mani Ratnam's new untitled film starring Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai and Vikram. Prithviraj is trying to be different on a villain role for a second time and also because of a big reason--one which every actor in India considers as a worthy one- Mani Ratnam.
Though he entered Kollywood playing a villain in 'Kana Kanden', hit films like 'Paarijatham', 'Mozhi' and 'Vellithirai' have now given him an image of a soft hero. Mainstream actors usually won't try doing a villain role and damage their image of a hero that they have attained after much hard work.
News is that Mani Ratnam has almost finalized Prithviraj to play the villain role. And when it is a Mani Ratnam film, little do actors care whether it's the hero, the villain or the supporting role. Remember Mammootty, who was in a lead supporting cast in Mani Ratnam's 'Thalapathy', which gave a big landing to the actor in Tamil.
Seems Prithviraj is also expecting some thing similar or better than that through this Mani Ratnam flick.
The film Anaganaga Oka Dheerudu is all set to hit the screens on January 14. The film stars Siddhartha as hero and Shruthi Haasan as heroine.
Lakshmi Manchi is playing the role of villain. This is her debut film in Telugu. The posters of the film show all the three actors. The surprising thing is that Lakshmi Manchu gets a bigger billing with her photo being the largest one followed by Siddhartha. Shruthi’s photo has been printed on the bottom corner.
She is a young heroine who is quite beautiful. She made a mark with the film Vinayakudu. Even though the film was a big hit it did not bring any name or films for her.
She is the young Poonam Kaur. She is now so desperate for roles that she is wearing revealing outfits in order to impress producers, directors and heroes. Here is a latest snap form her new photo shoot.
2007/12/24 2:06:46 Suresh is a well-known actor. He has played varied roles in films both as hero as well as villain. Suresh now as established his own film production company called 'Vicky Arts'. To begin with, he will produce tow films, one in Telugu and the other in Tamil.
For the Telugu film he has chosen Raju as the director. Raju has worked with Raadan TV for some TV serials. The star cast and other technicians are being finalized. Surehs will also play a prominent role in the film.
2008/5/6 2:59:04 Lady luck seems to have finally smiled on hero turned director JD Chakravarthy. This one time hero is now an associate of Ram Gopal Varma. JD has bagged a prestigious role in director Shankar’s new big film ‘Robo’. Rajnikanth is the hero. JD has been signed up to play villain in the film.
Shankar gave Suman a chance to play villain in Sivaji and the role brought big laurels for Suman. JD’s career is not going great guns and he hopes that this film will bring him back into limelight with a bang. JD is naturally excited to get a chance to act opposite Rajni. That too as a villain! What more could any artist possibly ask for?
First it was Suman who played villain in Rajnikanth’s Sivaji. Suman ‘s role was widely appreciated and his performance is one of his best in his tow decades old actor.
Now the senior character artist Kota Sreenivasa Rao is doing a role as villain in a new Tamil film, Kandaswamy.
The film’s hero Vikram insisted on taking Kota to ply villain and the producer and director were only to pleased to sign up Kota. His reputation as an artist of high-caliber is being recognized in neighboring states too, which is a welcome sign for the Telugu film industry.
2008/5/9 7:48:32 Kantri opened to some fantastic collections at the box office. Jr. NTR is at his best in the film. His new slimmed down body and new stylish looks are a treat to watch. He also dances pretty well and there are many big fights in the film that will delight all his fans.
The film has enough twists and turns and there is also some considerable suspense element and drama. The suspense is maintained from the interval bang when NTR tells villain Prakash Raj that he is actually his son right up to the climax.
NTR’s family is wronged by Prakash Raj and therefore he sets out to take revenge on him. The film is a big action packed movie with songs, dance and fights. The film in essence is ‘Of NTR fans, By NTR fans and for NTR fans.’
Suman is flush with the success of the film Sivaji. He played the role of villain in the film and it was received well by the audience. In fact, he stood his own against the charismatic Rajnikanth in the film, which proves his talent. Shankar had also portrayed him in a different mould far away from the conventional villain.
Post-Sivaji, Suman is being flooded with offers from producers and directors to play similar roles. But Suman is not tempted by the offers. A veteran of many films, Suman knows very well that the role in Sivaji is a once in a lifetime opportunity. So he will not do any villain role that requires similar getup and mannerism.
However, he has agreed to do the villain’s role in a new Kannada film titled Bindaas. Kannada hero Puneet Rajkumar plays the lead role and Hansika Motwani of Desamuduru fame will pair opposite him Malayalam actor Nazar will play and key role in the film in which Bollywood actor Rahul Dev is also playing an important character.
Versatile actor Prakash Raj is in the news for the wrong reasons. The actor is reported to have been dropped form the film Athidhi. He is playing the role of villain in the movie. The reason being cited for this is his non-cooperative attitude of the actor. He is said to come to the sets very late thereby disrupting the schedule.
He is also known to go missing for days on end, keeping the actors and the technicians on tenterhooks. Hero Mahesh Babu is reported to have resented his casual attitude and it is said to have asked the producer to drop Prakash Raj from the film. So a new villain Sushant Singh is now going to play villain in Athidhi. Sushant made a mark in Tollywood with his role in Dubai Seenu.
After his successful Koi Mil Gaya and Krrish, Rakesh Roshan will be making a third part of his super-hero series with Hrithik in the second-half of 2007.
An ecstatic Hrithik says, "All I can say at this point is, I wish I could play the villain in Krrish 3. I'm really excited about the villain's role, so much so that I feel like giving up the super-hero's mantle to play the villain."
If he's so enthusiastic about it he could play both the super-hero and the villain in Krrish 3 ?
"No, no," shrugs Hrithik. "That would be a triple role, because I'll already be playing the father, son and the villain."
The dates for the third part of the adventures of Rohit/ Krissh are now being worked out.
Says Hrithik, "We intend to start shooting by the year-end. It all depends on Jodha-Akbar which I think will require two extra months of shooting, plus about 40 days of dubbing. In Dhoom 2 I didn't have that much to speak and I still took about 25 days to dub for it."
As for a clamour to have him back in the third part of the Dhoom series, Hrithik is all for it.
"Well, I think Dhoom is a fabulous franchise. It has to move on. Whether my character Aryan will be back or not remains to be seen. Anything is possible in the movies. The challenge for every Dhoom and Krrish film is to be bigger and brighter than before. I think we're climbing the ladder very fast. Soon we needn't fear comparisons with our Hollywood counterparts."
Hrithik is in a daring mood.
"The point is to find new challenges. I only want to do make-or-break films. And Krrish 3 falls into that category."
