Hangin’ In There
Vallavan, starring SilverScreen mascots Nayanthara and Simbu has been in production for… like forever. And everyday, we hear things about the movie that make us lick our lips in anticipation…
Nayan has reportedly performed a scintillating dance number for which she was suspended in midair with the help of steel ropes. [Link]
Go back and read that again: Nayan.Suspended.MidAir.From.A.Mere.Chain. Now just where was this steel maker when the New Orleans levees were being constructed? I am placing an order for hurricane shutters from them right away. Florence, let’s see you break that defense!
It is not like when Nayan was hanging from the chain, Chimpu was idly gazing upwards – he was actually thinking pretty hard. Not many of you know this, but Indian movies don’t get Oscars mainly because the actors are shown smoking cheap cigarattes. Like at the Oscar’s last time, the camera zeroed in on Mammotty smoking a beedi, and the jury was like, “Hey, that’s cheap stuff. No Oscar for you.”
Clever man that he is, Simbu decided to redress the problem in Vallavan.
We also heard that Simbu would be seen smoking imported cigars in the movie, especially in the dance numbers. He has unleashed his own self in the larger than life sequences and is expecting the movie to do well. [Link]
When Vallavan gets that Oscar, you know where you heard it first.

Maybe after being in production for around 2 yrs now, all that the producer could afford was imported cigars for the songs. Else by normal Tamil cinema norms, song shoots will have the hero and heroine imported to various foreign locales.
It should’ve been ‘exported to various foreign locales’…
This is about your previous post. Im sure you wouldn’t believe me. I knew Mamta Mohandas (she was my one year junior in school) when I was in Bahrain. She sings better than average, and she’s better looking off-screen. I knew her and her parents pretty well, though I lost touch after I came to India for my undergrad *sigh*. Anyways the point is that she is classically trained, and sings pretty well.
