Rajinikanth’s next film with KS Ravikumar is ready to rock and roll. A colossal set has reportedly been erected at the AVM Studios and all is in readiness for the shoot. The first schedule will begin on May 1st. Some crucial scenes and a dance sequence with Deepika Padukone will be canned.
The director wants to preserve the surprise elements in the film, so access cards have been issued to crew members so that only select personnel may gain admission to the set. This move is likely to increase an already inflated interest in Rana, a hundred fold.
Deepika will sport a brand new look for this film and will epitomize the Southern beauty. Tabu will be paired up against the patriarch character and Ileana will be the other leading lady. Sonu Sood, who has become famous for his bad guy act in Arundhati and Dabangg, will be the villain in Rana. Interestingly, the actor did a small role and was in a fight sequence with Superstar in Chandramukhi.

It is now confirmed that director Dharani will direct the Tamil remake of the Hindi film Dabangg. Silambarasan will essay the role done by Salman Khan in the original version. There was a talk earlier that STR wanted Sonakshi Sinha, who played the heroine in Dabangg, to essay the role in Tamil too. When he approached the actress, she brushed aside the offer as she had Kamal Haasan’s Visawaroopam to concentrate on.
But with Viswaroopam not commencing as planned due to the Visa hassles that the team is facing, Sonakshi is contemplating on offering her dates for this remake, sources say.
Meanwhile, Silambarasan is busy concentrating in Poda Podi and the team is in Spain filming some important sequences.
Like Dabangg, even Joker has a rural setup and the cast will be sporting stylish glares.
While Salman Khan has denied rumours that he will be doing an item song in Joker , it still seems like he is inspiring the team of the film. There is buzz that director Shirish Kunder is intentionally taking references from Salman Khan's last year's superhit Dabangg for his film Joker .
"Like Dabangg , even Joker has a rural backdrop", says a source. "Shirish Kunder has shot the film in a village setup close to Chandigarh. Perhaps masses relate more to such film setting".
Other than that, another common element between both films is the style statement. "The hep sunglasses that Salman sported in Dabangg became a rage. Sonakshi Sinha seems to have taken forward the sunglass legacy from Dabangg to Joker and is sporting the same kind of glares in her second film. Akshay Kumar also follows suit".
Its no 'joke' that ' Dabangg ' has become quite a trendsetter!
There were reports that reigning Tamil-Telugu actress Kajal Aggarwal is likely to be the lead lady in actor Simbu's Tamil remake of Salman Khan's super hit 'Dabangg'. But the makers of the Tamil version made it clear that Kajal Aggarwal will not be part of the film.
Apparently, they are looking for a top heroine from Bollywood and efforts are on to make Sonam Kapoor sign on the dotted line. Notably, the original heroine Sonakshi Sinha refused the role in Tamil remake.
There were also stories that Katrina Kaif might do the film, since she has already worked in some South Indian films. 'Dabangg' is being remade in Telugu as well with Pawan Kalyan in the lead.
'Dabangg' is setting new records not only in Bollywood, but also in Tamil and Telugu. With 'Dabangg' opening to an overwhelming response, the enthusiasm to acquire the Tamil and Telugu remake rights has increased overnight. Kollywood producers Mohan Apparao and T. Ramesh have recently purchased the remake rights of 'Dabangg' for a whopping amount, the highest ever paid for a remake.
Now the latest buzz is that Simbu will play the role of Chulbul Pandey (originally played perfectly by Salman Khan) in the Tamil version. The shooting is expected to begin soon after finalizing the director and heroine.
Newbie Sonakshi Sinha is not anymore surprised at her comparison to yesteryear actress Reena Roy, but it certainly doesn't elicit any smile on her face or lights it up, as usually is the case with all newcomers.
In fact, the Dabangg actress gets quite irritable at this obvious similarity, says mother Poonam Sinha. For the record, Sonakshi shares strong resemblance to the actress who had once dated her father Shatrughan Sinha, who was linked to her even after his marriage.
"Absolutely not! She doesn't look like anyone. Sonakshi is my daughter and she looks like me," says Poonam defensively. "Please don't bring this topic with her," cautioned the pretty Mrs. Sinha.
Ever since Sonakshi's Dabangg look was revealed, people were shocked at this strong similarity. Several images on the net of Reena Roy and Sonakshi were even juxtaposed insinuating unpleasant stuff. Of course Sonakshi didn't take these comparisons in a lighter way, but as she went along making her strong position in Bollywood as the no. 1 heroine today, such comparisons aren't heeded to anymore.
Recently in a casual chat with us Sonakshi agreed that certain features of her face and her eye make up, that's similar to Reena Roy, could be the reason for eliciting such responses from across. However, in the last year, Sonakshi believes, her looks have grown distinct, "I am sure I don't look anything like Reena Roy now," she quipped.
Whatever it is, Sonakshi's beauty certainly differs from her pretty mother Poonam. Agree Shatru saab?
