Vadivelu as hero!

April 12, 2006


Comedy Actor Vadilvel was working for small comedy roles with Kounda mani, when Comedy Actor Kounda mani was getting one lahh per day. Now Vadivel gets 3 lakhs per day shooting!

The news is looks like he is rejecting all comedy based acting chances now, because he is acting as a hero in a movie – “Himsai arasan 23aavadhu pulikesi”, which is produced by Shankar.

Anyway, whatever it is – All the Best to Vadivel – from Made In Madurai Movie Portal team.

After Agni Natchathiram and Urimai geetham (tamil movies), here is a movie getting released, in which Karthik and Prabhu have worked together on a film called – “Gusthi”. This movie was in shooting for past 2 years and now it is ready to be released.

These kind of movies also are getting accepted by audience and these movies are especially for people looking for family entertainment and comedy!

Now that Karthik is in politics, we hope he does not deliver any dialogues with political meanings in it!!

Vettaiyadu Villaiyadu release to be delayed!

April 12, 2006


The much awaited New Year release Vettaiyadu Villaiyadu starring Padmashree Kamal Hassan and Jothika is believed to be yet again delayed.Directed by Gowtham Menon the film had changed hands between many producers.Movie kicked off with Kaja Mohideen as the producer but due to financial crisis was taken over by Oscar Ravichandran.But it was 7th channel Narayanan who completed the movie’s final production making it possible for April 14th release.

But it doesnt stop there,Mahendra Jain has obtained court stay order claiming that the movie cannot be released till Kaja Mohideen clears his 3.5 crores debt to him. Unfortunately its Kaja Mohideen who still holds Vettaiyadu Villaiyadu’s negative rights.The film unit firmly believes that its very unlikely for the movie to hit the theaters for Tamil New Year.

Home production or not controversy is second name to Kamal’s movie!!.

IT park planned in Madurai City

April 12, 2006


There are two stories ——

January 30th 2006 –

Union Minister for Communications and Information Technology Dayanidhi Maran has revealed that the government has plans to establish an IT park in the city of Madurai if the state government can arrange land for this purpose.

He was speaking at the occasion of the launch of a stamp of freedom fighter N M R Subbaraman. Maran recalled the promise he made to the Tamil Nadu Chamber of Commerce and Industry president S Rethinavelu to establish an IT park in the city.

Rethinavelu on the government’s behalf has assured of a property near the Madurai Kamaraj University. However, Maran is insisting on a location, which is closer to the main city. He said in a statement: “Even if it is five acres, it should be very near to the city or in the city’s main area.”

He further added that the government would start the work on the development of the IT Park in the city if at least one-lakh sq feet were offered in the city. Tamil Nadu is emerging as a hot destination for the IT companies with Microsoft and Nokia showing interest in establishing their bases here.

Today’s News ———–

AIADMK supremo and Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa promised to establish an Information Technology park in Madurai city if her party was elected.

Overall, there is some hope that there is an IT park being planned for Madurai City ——GREAT NEWS isn’t it!!?

You all should know about this person. His name is Mr.Henk, but he has a different name for photos – Oochapan. I think he is an international traveller, but loves Madurai.

He had shot amazing photos of madurai and its lifestyle. Please take a look at the photo gallery in http://www.pbase.com/oochappan/2005.

We have talked to Mr.Oochapan sometime back for publishing his photos for our “New Madurai Dreams” book, as a part of our fund raising efforts in New Madurai Foundation, Madurai, a non-profit organization of Madurai.

He has great heart as well to give off his photos for publishing it free.

Project Madurai!!!

April 12, 2006

Project Madurai is an open and voluntary initiative to collect and publish free electronic editions of ancient tamil literary classics. This means either typing-in or scanning old books and archiving the text in one of the most readily accessible formats (“ETEXTS”) for use on all popular computer platforms. All etexts will be distributed in both web/html and PDF formats.- Distributed through the World Wide Web servers , anyone located anywhere may download a copy for personal use or read what we publish on the internet, free of charge.

Since its launch in 1998, Project Madurai etexts are released in Tamil script form as per TSCII (Tamil Script Code for Information Interchange) encoding. Since 2004 we have started releasing etexts in Tamil unicode as well.

The project will be coordinated by a handful of volunteers, most of which have Project Madurai s as their hobby, just like you!
Anyone who would like to contribute can join this project. Simply send a note to Project Coordinators at kalyan AT geocities.com & kumar AT vt.edu

It is a great initiative and I think is managed online by Mr.Kalyan and Mr.Kumar.
Keep it up!!!

Made In Madurai appreciates you for this great effort!!!
