Tamil hero Simbu films doing well in Andhra Monday, July 10, 2006 | Nayan
One can't understand why tamil dubbed films are doing well here even if they haven't been a success in chennai. Since Simbhu's Manmadha was a hit, our producers feel the actor has capacity to rake in some collections in andhra too. Before Manmadha, Simbhu had no hits absolutely. Kovil is one of the stupid films he had worked in, now it's being dubbed and released 'Rudrudu'. These days we can't predict which will run or which will collapse at the BO, especially dubbed films.

Kamal Hasan's "Ventaadu Vetaadu" in troubles Wednesday, July 5, 2006 | Nayan
Problems are plaguing him ever since his magnum opus Marudayagan was announced. It was put off indefinitely for the lack of funds. Heard some french friends are bailing him out. Meanwhile Kamal and Gautham's film Ventaadu Vetaadu is stuck in the cans, his next Dasavatarm has paucity of heroines. If one heroine is available the other's dates don't match so he approached Vidya Balan of Parineeta fame but she too has date problems. Anyways, one hopes he finds his heroines soon.
