Court summons Prabhu Deva and Nayantara

In the legal battle between actor-choreographer Prabhu Deva and his wife Latha aka Ramalath, the Chennai Family Court summoned Prabhu Deva and actress Nayantara on Thursday to appear before the court on October 19. The court issued a notice after Latha filed a second petition before it on Wednesday.

In her second petition, Latha sought directions against her husband and Nayantara from attending functions together and receiving awards as husband and wife. Notably, Prabhu Deva and Nayantara recently bagged the best Close Up couple award at the South Scope Awards 2010 instituted by South Scope magazine.

In her first petition filed on September 4, Latha pleaded the court to direct her husband not to leave her. She accused Prabhu Deva of not taking care of domestic responsibilities and not paying money to run the household expenses after he allegedly fell in love with Nayantara. She leveled serious allegations against Nayantara saying that whenever Nayantara visited Chennai she used to take Prabhu Deva along with her and they used to stay in Park Hotel.

Nayanthara had completed her film with Kannada actor Upendra in an untitled Kannada film. Upendra who is busy in editing this film said,” I have never seen an actress like Nayanthara who is involved in work with dedication.

Every day she uses to come in time for the shooting. There was never a problem with her. This is her first Kannada film. Probably this will be her last film in Kannada. I am little sad about this.

She has stated that she will not act after her marriage. This news will be a shock to the directors who are in search of sincere actress like Nayanthara.

Her character in this film will be much spoken about. Her role has such significance. I cannot speak anything more than this.”

Actress Nayanthara meets Rajinikanth

Added to that the cameraman for this ad shoot was Ratnavelu and make up was done by Banu both who are a part of Enthiran team.

However the icing on the cake for Nayan was when superstar Rajinkanth visited her sets and spoke to her. Rajini who was shooting on another floor of the studio for Enthiran promotion on Sun TV walked into the sets where the Pothys ad shoot was happening and exchanged pleasantries with everyone.

Girija Raghavan the consultant publicist of Pothys told: “Nayanthara is the brand ambassador for our designer sarees which we are launching for Diwali. It is one the most expensive shoots that we have done so far. The classy set which resembled an art gallery was designed by Selva (of Madhrasapattinam fame). Motion control camera operated by foreign technicians under the guidance of Scott was used to show multiple Nayanthara’s in a single frame, something which is done for the first time in an ad shoot.”

The stills were shot by ace cameraman Venkat Ram and styling was done by Chaitanya Rao. This innovative ad will be aired from this week on television, Adds Girija: “Nayanthara is hot and happening. She represents the modern and glamourous girl of today and is the perfect choice who can be identified with our designer sarees”

Irked by Nayan’s behavior, Ajith has decided to call it quits.

Meanwhile, Prabhu Deva has taken over as Nayan’s manager for an ad film that she has agreed. It is not clear if Prabhu will turn to be her full-time manager in the future.

Both Syrian Christian girls from Kerala have been daggers drawn ever since they met on the sets of AR Murgadoss’s Ghajini.

They just can’t stand each other and Nayan had alleged that Asin in connivance with cameraman RD Rajasekhar had not only cut her role but made her to look bad on screen. Nayan had also confessed that her biggest mistake was to be a part of Ghajini.

When asked whether she has seen Bodyguard, Kaavalan’s original in Malayalam and what she thinks about Nayanthara’s performance in the film.

Asin said: “ Nayan was very good in the original and I loved her performance in the film. The director has given her a role that suited her image. Let us hope I can do justice to that role which was first narrated to me more than three years back, as I was supposed to do the Tamil and Malayalam versions.”

Actress Nayantara's posters creates a problem in Kerala

There is sensational news in Kodambakkam that Simbhu has not come to his house for the last two months and is staying in a hotel. There is also news that a director is in supporting him. So his father T Rajendhar was contacted regarding this.

Is there any dispute between you and Simbhu?

Who said so? There is no dispute or fight between us.

There is news that Simbu is under the control of director Gowtham Menon and Ganesh?

Sir, he had gone to London for the shooting of Poda Podi. I have gone to Mumbai and staying here to select a heroine.

There is also news that Simbu is doing two films for Gowtham Menon and he has asked you for the money in this connection?

Who sir is spreading such rumors. I am not a person who hides a full pumpkin in the rice. I don’t know who is spreading such rumors. I will speak about this after coming to Chennai.

So there is no problem in Simbhu’s home.

Arya speaks about his love Gossips

There were rumors that Arya and Pooja are in love. When asked Arya about this, he said,” The news that I am in love with Pooja and Nila are all false and wrong. So far I am not in love with anyone.

There was also news that I gave a separate birthday party for Nayanthara. It is not true. Many of them took part in this party including Nayanthara.

The film Boss Engira Baskaran in which Nayanthara has paired with me is doing well at the box office. This is the best comedy film. Nayanthara cooperated well in this film. I cannot say when I will get married.

It will happen when the time comes. My horoscope says that mine will be a love marriage. I will be happy if it happens. I have also started a production company with the name Show People and am producing films. The shooting of Bala’s film Avan Ivan in which I am acting is almost getting completed. I am ready to do villain roles.”

Prabhu Deva speaks about Nayanthara

There has been romance between Prabhu Deva and Nayanthara for quite some time. Nayanthara is an unmarried woman whereas Prabhu Deva is married and has two children. There was news frequently in the media about their love affair.

Both did not refuse this news nor accept them. They both avoided this by telling that it is their personal matter. Prabhu Deva while speaking about this said,” In my cinema life lots of news have been published about me.

I am not worried about it. I avoided giving explanations and I also did not deny. As far as Nayanthara is concerned, she is something special to me. I am in love with her. We have decided to marry soon. This is our personal matter. There is no necessity for me to explain about this, neither do I want to speak about it. Nayanthara is a home bird. She loves simplicity.

A lover always wants to spend more time with his lover. This rule applies to me also. Nayanthara has acted in numerous films and achieved a lot. She is a leading actress. Everybody knows this.

There is no point in being busy instead of sharing the love between us. Many are asking the reason for Nayanthara entering my life. There are lots of things. When I was in deep distress she was a great consolation to me. She looked like an oasis for me in the desert. Normally I am short tempered person. But she has changed me a lot.

My assistants itself say that I am not like before. She is brave and bold girl. She changed me like her. She is the one who made me understand that love is unconditional. Nayanthara is an extraordinary person. I love everything in her.”

The deputy CM was welcomed by the hero Arya and the director of ‘BEB’ Rajesh M. Udhayanidhi Stalin who is also a producer of the film accompanied the deputy CM.

The deputy CM liked the movie and laughed heartily at the comedy scenes. ‘BEB’ released last Friday and got a grand opening that suggests the film is going to be a mega hit. The film stars Arya, Nayantara and Santhanam in main roles.

Nayanthara participated in a chat show in a private television channel

Boss Engira Baskaran, directed by Rajesh, has opened to a tremendous response and the film is on its way to become a super-hit. BEB’s lead pair Arya and Nayanthara, along with director Rajesh, participated in a chat show in a private television channel hosted by Anu Hasan. It was, in fact, a surprise for film buffs to see Nayanthara in such shows as she is generally not seen in such programs or promotional events. However, it was a delight to watch her on the show as she was her spontaneous self and more than anything, it was good to hear the lady speak in Tamil fluently. Wonder why she does not dub for herself. She and Arya were at their witty best and pulled each other’s legs. All in all, it was Nayan’s show all the way!

Boss Engira Baskaran telugu version is Nene Ambani

Arya's 'Boss Engira Baskaran' is making waves in Andhra Pradesh too. The film has been dubbed in Telugu and the title of the Tollywood version is 'Nene Ambani'.

Remember Arya is not new to Telugu audience as he played a crucial negative role in Allu Arjun's 'Varudu' which hit screens a few months ago and won appreciations for his performance.

Besides, heroine of 'Boss Engira Baskaran' Nayantara is a popular actress in Tollywood too and Yuvan Shankar Raja, who has scored music for the film, has earned enormous goodwill in Telugu with songs from the dubbed versions of his Tamil films topping the charts there.

Directed by Rajesh M, 'Boss Engira Baskaran' is produced by Vasan Visual Ventures and released by Udhayanidhi Stalin's Red Giant Movies and Arya's The Show People. The film opened to 100 per cent occupancy in theatres all over Tamil Nadu Friday.

Superb opening for Boss Engira Baskaran

‘Boss Engira Baskaran’ has got a terrific opening if the advance booking sources are to be believed. The film is expected to have a 100 per cent box office for the week end. In many theaters in Chennai the bookings for the week have closed on Wednesday itself.

‘BEB’ is going to be the film of this week. Director Rajesh has his own fan following after the neat romantic comedy ‘Siva Manasula Sakthi’ last year. Arya has tried comedy and Nayantara is adding that glitter. Santhanam’s comedy is also going to be a highlight of the film.

With a middle class family back drop this comedy is a right way to celebrate this long weekend.

Boss Engira Baskaran to reach success in box office

With less than 72 hours left for the release of ‘Boss Engira Baskaran’, director of the film Rajesh is brimming with hope that this second venture of him too would strike a right chord among the film buffs.

“A decent script, when presented with right ingredients, would always receive a warm reception from the audience. I believe ‘Boss Engira Baskaran’ has all these things in a right combination,” he says.

“Coupled with these things are the beautiful performances by the lead actors Arya, Nayantara and Santhanam,” he says and adds: “The three have delivered their best. You can expect a laughathon in theatres.”

Thanking all the three producers (Udhayanidhi Stalin, Arya and K S Srinivasan) who are involved in the project, Rajesh adds: “Fault will be mine if I fail to appreciate the music by Yuvan Shankar Raja. He has given beautiful songs and wonderful background score.”

Boss Engira Baskaran movie has get clear U certificate

The Arya - Nayanthara starrer ‘Boss Engira Baskaran’ has been certified as a film that can be watched by people of all ages. The film which went to the censors yesterday has got a clean U certificate.

BEB is a romantic comedy directed by Rajesh of ‘Siva Manasula Sakthi’. The film is releasing on September 10. Red Giant who has a very decent track record in making a film successful with their promotions is marketing this film also.

‘Boss Engira Baskaran’ is awaited for many reasons. One is Arya for the first time has done a comedy. Another not so good reason is that this film is speculated to be the last film of Nayanthara in Tamil. However Nayanthara has not said anything about her retirement plans.

Prabhu Deva to marry Nayanthara on this December

There is a buzz doing rounds in Tollywood that Nayanthara and Prabhu Deva may tie the nuptial knot sometime in December. The speculation about the couple’s marriage rose after Nayan declined to accept new film offers. The lady is currently acting in Boss Engira Baskaran and has not signed up any Tamil film. Likewise, she has completed her acting commitments in Kannada, Malayalam and Telugu films

Meanwhile, Prabhu Deva has signed up a Santosh Sivan film titled Urumi and is gearing up for the shooting which is slated to begin in Malshej Ghats.

Arya speaks about Nayanthara

Arya is going on laughing these days. The reason is not that he has paired with Nayanthara but for acting in a full length comedy film Boss Engira Baskaran. Arya while speaking about this film said,” Nayanthara and Santhanam along with me have played relentless comedy pranks.

In the name of comedy there will be no double meaning dialogues or vulgarity. Many are asking me about Nayanthara’s personal matter. As far as I am concerned Nayanthara is a matured performer. She does not see her acting with her personal life.

She is also ready to act even in intimate scenes if the story demanded it. When Santhanam and me try to pull her leg in the film, she didn’t bother her image. I doubt that we will get an actress like her. There is also a question frequently asked that whether I am choosing my roles and acting.

In that way I am lucky. Is it possible for me to ask the story of Naan Kadavul and than say yes to Bala? To act in a Bala’s film one should be lucky. It is not a easy matter to get a good director and producer. It is all God’ grace.”

Boss Engira Baskaran audio will be launched by Suriya

The audio of Boss Engira Baskaran is due to be launched in Chennai on 27-08-10. The film, which stars Arya and Nayanthara, is directed by Rajesh and produced by KS Sreenivasan.

Film star Suriya will release the audio of BEB and music director Harris Jayaraj will receive the first copy.

Director Rajesh speaks about Boss Engira Baskaran

Director Rajesh (of Siva Manasula Shakthi fame) has finally completed shooting for his second venture Boss Engira Baskaran (BEB), starring Arya and Nayantara in the lead. “I’m feeling quite nervous now. My debut film Siva Manasula Sakthi (SMS) was a hit and the audience have a lot of expectation from me. I hope I don’t let them down,” he said to a leading English daily.

"The movie is about a chapter in Arya’s life, which is dominated by love, friendship, and affection for his family. Arya plays Baskaran, a happy-go-lucky guy and Nayantara plays Chandrika, a middle-class girl; both study in the same college. Santhanam has an important role as Arya’s friend; the two of them are hell-bent on tricking each other," he added.

Music composed by Yuvanshankar Raja is expected to be launched by the end of this month and the movie will hit screens after the release of Enthiran.

Arya again team up with Red Giant Movies

BEB, which has Nayanthara playing the love-interest of Arya, has been directed by Rajesh. Yuvan Shankar Raja has scored the music for this film.

With Red Giant Movies acquiring the rights, BEB can expect ample publicity and hence turn out to be a massive hit.
