Rani Mukherjee's mother Krishna is very angry with press reports

There are some press reports on Rani Mukherjee's misbehavior with the cast and crew of Pradeep Sarkar's 'Choodiyaan' at Varanasi. She refused to join the unit members and spent time with her family, who were there at that time. Rani's mother Krishna is very angry with this. Krishna clarifies, "She never misbehaved. Yes, she did spend time with us, what's wrong with that? Isn't she allowed to spend time with her family? We never went to the sets and disturbed them. We used to wait in our hotel for her to return, we were there for a week and yes, she did prefer to have dinner with us. She has come up the hard way, seen failure and struggled for years to get to where she has reached today. She would never humiliate or disrespect newcomers and technicians."

Superstar Rajinikant's retirement plans !!!

His forthcoming film "Sivaji", directed by Shankar and produced by S. Thanu, is nearing completion and is expected to be released on Tamil New year's day.

Rajini's future plans are still in the real of speculation. However, if one goes by Tamil media reports appearing these days, the superstar is seriously considering retiring in 2008. Sources close to him believe the superstar may enter politics and work full time in the political field after quitting acting.


In the next two years, before his retirement, he reportedly wishes to have two films produced - one under the banner of his "guru" K. Balachander who introduced him in films, and the second for R.M. Veerappan of Sathya Movies who produced "Basha" which shot Rajini into the political limelight and gave a fresh lease of life to Mr. Karunanidhi's DMK which was returned to power after AIADMK leader Jayalalitha's first term in office as Chief Minister.

The question being asked is: Will Rajini takes to politics after his retirement in two year's time? According to sources, no one knows what is in his mind, but he has been discreetly watching the developments on the political front, especially after Captain Vijaykanth's sudden and surprise foray into politics.

Rajini is carefully analyzing every move by Vijayakanth as well as the functioning of Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi, who is considered as a Chanakya in Tamil Nadu politics, so the superstar could learn right lessons before launching himself into politics.

According to the sources, he is quite determined that his last film should be produced by R M Veerappan's Sathya Movies under the direction of A.R. Murugados who directed Vijayakanth's political thriller "Ramana. Again it is Murugados who directed Chiranjeevi's latest blockbuster "Stalin" which may possibly spur the apolitical Telugu megastar into taking a political avatar sooner or later.

Whether the superstar will eventually enter politics still remains a big question mark, but there are enough hints that make it apparent that Rajini still nourishes political ambitions. One hint is that he is said to be firm that his last movie should be out and out political which would lay a strong foundation for him to eventually enter politics. Rajini believes Murugados is one who could deliver. Murugados is understood to have had at least one sitting already with Rajini.

Another hint is his fans associations are being curbed of black sheep and revamped where necessary before their being turned into disciplined, cultured and committed political outfits for Rajini in keeping with his inimitable style. Wait for his film to be directed by Murugados which, it is hoped, will clear the air.

Rajini's new heroine Shreya set to soar in Kollywood

Now that her contract for the Rajni-starrer Sivaji is expiring in January 2007, Tamil actress Shreya is set to spread her wings.

Shreya hogged the limelight when she snapped up the prestigious role as heroine of Tamil super star's Rajnikant in Sivaji.

The grapevine has it that she has as many as four films lined up. First, her ‘Thiruvilayadal Aarambam’ with Danush, Rajni's son-in-law is almost complete.

She is set to act in Gautam Menon's flick ‘Vaaranam Aayiram’ in which Arya is the hero.

She might also figure in Vikram's new film after ‘Bheema’. Besides, she is also working on ATM with Vijay in the male lead. Incidentally, she is also the heroine in Vijay's ‘Azhagiya Tamiz Magan’.

Needless to say, the film with Rajni has done wonders for the career of Saucy Shriya who took the eye at a recent function in Chennai by appearing in a daring dress.
