Prakash Raj to play the baddie in Dabangg 2

After Wanted, actor Prakash Raj will be seen with Salman Khan once again. He will play the main villain in Dabangg 2, says actor-producer Arbaaz Khan.

"The extremely talented actor Prakash Raj is the main villian of Dabangg 2," Arbaaz posted on his Twitter page recently.

The southern actor-filmmaker is excited about the new role.

"Just heard the narration of Dabangg 2. Arbaaz has a sureshot winner on hand. Happy and excited to join Salman bhai once again. Cheers!!!" Prakash Raj tweeted.

This has put a question mark on actor Sonu Sood's role in Dabangg 2, the sequel to the 2010 action blockbuster Dabangg.

Sonu played Chaddi Singh, the bad man in the original movie. But if Prakash Raj will play the "main villain" in the sequel, one wonders what will happen to Sonu.

But Sonu, who is repeating his villainous act in Osthi Tamil remake of the film, tweeted: "@arbaazSkhan is a fab guy, I know he will make a great film. I will always be there with him may be not as an actor this time but as a brother."

However, what will be retained in the sequel is the pairing of Salman and Sonakshi Sinha.

Dabangg 2 will release in December 2012.

Bharath upset with STR about Vaanam

Bharath is one of the talented actors in Kollywood who started his career with the sensational film Boys more than eight years ago.

Although he was well received with Boys smashing several records, Bharath established himself as an actor with another film Kadhal that later on was declared to be a big hit.

In his recentl film Vaanam, Bharath had an important role to play and the actor has now made shocking revelations during the making of this film.

A source close to Bharath said that the actor felt that he was sidelined in the promotions of ‘Vaanam‘, and all the attention was given to Simbhu that had upset and angered Bharath.

Bharath himself said that, “Before accepting the offer, I was told that the cast of Vaanam has Simbhu, Anushka, Prakashraj and Sonia Agarwal alongside with equal importance given to everybody in the cast.

But to my shock, I realized that I was fooled only during the release of the film,” said the actor.

Bharath is however very confident that all his future films like Yuvan Yuvathi, Thiruthani and 555 will be good films and he would not have bitter experience again.

The source revealed that Bharath has been working very hard for the success of these films and to establish himself as a big star.

Singham and its controversy

Ajay Devgn starrer Singham raked up to controversy on the very first day of its release in the state of Karnataka on Friday 22nd July.

Protesters from Karnataka Rakshana Vedike tore movie posters and damaged facilities in theatres in Bidar, Hubli, Bagalkot, Raichur, and Bijapur, alleging that Kannadigas were portrayed in a disparaging manner in the movie. They were furious about a particular reference to Kannadigas being referred as dogs in the movie, in a line of dialogue delivered by Devgn.

Prakashraj, who plays the villain, has his origin in Karnataka and the controversial scene starts off with Prakashraj threatening Devgn that he would bring 1,000 people from Karnataka border to thrash him. Ajay (who plays Bhajirao Singham, a Maratha) retorts that one lion would suffice to shoo away a thousand dogs.

"This is an insult to Kannadigas," said an angry Suresh Kumar, a protester in Bidar.

Many theatres stopped the shows. The protests too came down after the distributors announced that the controversial dialogue had been removed.

Actor Prakashraj said that the dialogue has been misunderstood and blown out of proportion.

"There is nothing controversial about it. I am a Kannadiga. How would I allow conversations that provide pain to people of Karnataka in any movie in which I am cast?" he asked.

He added that in the view of public interest, the scene has now been removed.

Prakash Raj to don director's hat

He went on a road trip with his family to chill out and recharge his batteries. Having spent the time letting his hair down with loved ones, he feels rejuvenated and is keen to establish himself as a director.

He has already proved his mettle as an actor and producer so he is relishing this new challenge.

Prakash Raj and Pony have revealed that they believe their dance school will be a success and they will also be opening branches in other parts of the country, particularly Chennai and Hyderabad.

Prakash Jha devilous acts

For a filmmaker each of his ventures is like his baby. So when it comes to shooting a movie he wouldn't compromise on anything, even if it means playing on his own life. Take this noted person of our B-town for instance....

On a typical film set where most directors are found sitting by the camera in their director's chair calling out action, Prakash Jha is always found in midst of the action.

Prakash Jha who is known to be one director who takes on challenging subjects with his films, seems to have taken a few during the shooting of his forthcoming multi-starrer film 'Aarakshan'. One would always find Jha with the film camera on an edge of a bridge without support, or on a crane 50 odd ft above the ground, amidst of a chaotic crowd or under a running bulldozer to get a shot just right.

Amitabh Bachchan who is working with Jha for the first time, rightly dubbed him as a "Khatron Ka Khiladi."

Being the daredevil director, Prakash Jha escapes a few almost accidents during the shoot. It happened twice during shooting, while taking a shot under the bulldozer, the driver didn't hear the command to "Stop" from the action director, almost running over Jha!

Second time, he wasn't as lucky as he takes off on a scooter by himself during a location shift, and gets into an accident. Unphased by the injury the "Khatron Ka Khiladi". Prakash Jha remarked to his crew jokingly, "You've made me fall, but don't think I have fallen from grace."

Our advice to you, Sirji play it safe..!!
