Director Shankar & Handsome Surya to join hands
Here is the breaking news about the much awaited combo of director Shankar and handsome hunk Suriya. This is one of the missing partnerships in Kollywood from a very longtime. It was Suriya who was supposed to reprise the role of Aamir Khan in the Tamil remake Nanban but finally the offer landed with Vijay.
The saying “Better late than Never” can be said here as Suriya is likely to star in the direction of Shankar. It is said that the director had made a special script ready for Suriya, where he stars as a solo-hero and this is the reason for Suriya not been in the remake of 3 Idiots which is a multi starrer. The official confirmation is awaited but this is the much needed announcement as his fans are raving for this outstanding combination.
Meanwhile Shankar is busy with Nanban and recently he is back from London after having music sittings with Harris Jayraj. He also has a glimpse of the locations in London, Buckingham and other places for filming few important sequences and three songs. It is heard that Shankar and Manoj Paramahamsa have finalized few locations and mostly during next schedule they may move to London to shoot two songs tuned by Harris.
KS Chitra's daughter drowns in Dubai pool
DUBAI // The eight-year-old daughter of Indian playback singer K S Chitra drowned this morning after falling into a swimming pool at a private villa in Emirates Hills.
The incident happened at the home of the singer’s sister, where Chitra, along with her daughter, Nandana, and husband were staying.
“The doors leading to the pool were open at the friend’s house. She slipped into it and drowned,” said a source close to the family.
“They immediately rushed her to a hospital in Jebel Ali, but it was too late,” said the source, who asked not be identified.
“The singer is in complete shock,” he said.
Nandana, a child with special needs, was born to the couple after several years of marriage.
Confirming her death, the Indian consulate in Dubai said it was in touch with the family.
“We have assured them of all cooperation in completing the necessary formalities to take the body home,” said a spokesperson from the consulate.
The playback singer and her family arrived here on Tuesday afternoon from Chennai to perform at a tribute concert, A R Rehman Special Hits, at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium this evening.
Concert organisers said the show, which will see popular singers — A R Rehman's sisters, Hariharan, Naresh Iyer, Sadhna Sargam and Benny Dayal — will go on as scheduled. Troupe members will start the show with a special prayer for the little girl.
“The show will happen this evening as planned,” said Sha Mohammed, the creative director of Media Factory, the show organisers. “There will be a prayer for the child before we start the show.”
“In fact, we had arranged for an executive room at a hotel in Bur Dubai. However, the singer was keen to provide her daughter with the comforts of a home. She wanted to ensure a safe environment for her daughter and opted to stay with her older sister in Emirates Hills,” said Mr Mohammed.
The girl’s body will be taken back to India.
