A kissing scene in Manmadhan Ambu movie

Now that we all know that the Manmadhan Ambu is a romantic flick, the big question that all Kamal Haasan’s fans have is whether there would be a kissing scene, which his films are well-known for. This question was brought up during the press meet of Manmadhan Ambu, which took place recently.

To this, director KS Ravikumar said that such a scene would be in the film if the storyline so demands. However, it would not be incorporated so as to make it look out of place.

Manmadhan Ambu, which also stars Madhavan, and Trisha, will be shot extensively in Europe.

web site owner caught, uploaded Jaggubhai on the net

The yet to be released Sarath Kumar’s KS Ravikumar directed Jaggubhai, pirated VCD’s were seized and a web site owner in Coimbatore was arrested for uploading it illegally on his site!

Jaggubhai, was long in the making and was to finally release for this Pongal. The pirated version has no background music, so obviously it was taken before the re-recording and final mixing.
According to sources, the footage available on the internet runs for two hours and is incomplete. The Chennai cyber crime cell arrested Shankar Ganesh owner of an Internet site which uploaded the film.
It was Radhika Sarath Kumar, the film’s producer who first complained personally to Chief Minister M Karunanidhi about this illegal upload on the web. On the Chief Ministers directive, the Cyber Crime cell registered a case. Acting on a tip off that fake CD’s of the film were being sold in Chennai, the police raided different localities.
In a press release, Radhika thanked the Chief Minister and the police for acting swiftly, which led to the huge haul of pirated video CD’s of the film.
