Titbits..

Hot news first ;-) 
Did you hear about this?? The latest Tamil movie "Ravan" ventured by Maniratnam presents the sizzling Bollywood babe Bipasha in the Mandothari character!!! Vikram is the Ravan!! Other casts include Abishek, Ash, Priya mani etc.. Actually Nayantara was supposed to take up that role, but since it has only few scenes and only one song, she has rejected it. I was just wondering if it is some "item" number.. That's why Bips would have accepted it! Mambo Mandothari-a??


South-Indian actor Surya seems to very passionate about long drives on his car(s). The day he purchased Audi Q7 on the preview of Varanam Aayiram, he had taken it for a drive the whole day around Chennai city and came back home only at 1am at night. And it looks like he has registered all the cars that he owns (Audi Q7, Honda CRV, Lancer and Hyundai Elantra) under the number 5005. Some James Bond kind of no. huh? Well these are apart from the Benz e class that he gifted for Jo and Maruti Swift for his lil daughter Diya!! Guess he has no plans of under-utilizing the models available in the market..


One more horror film in the series of "Yavarum Nalam" or "13B" is "Eeram".. meaning "wet" in English.. The ghost is shown only in the form of waters and as such no apparitions or ghost forms has been used to scare the audience! The director must have thought the actors themselves are just enough to justify that role.. uh uuhh..


The Unites States, France and Britain are among nine countries that pledged today to make 10 % of their swine flu vaccine supply available to other nations that may need it. The A(H1N1) vaccine will be made available thru the WHO. In Paris, President Nicolas Sarkozy's office said that France will donate nine million vaccines of its entire stock of 94 million doses of vaccines. Britain and US announced a similar donation. Swine flu cases are expected to increase as the northern hemisphere enters the fall season. Lets hope the vaccines spread across the countries faster than the flu does!!

As situations get worse with more racial attack recently on four Singh students from India, Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd assures, "it is our earnest hope that the concerned authorities will take all necessary steps for the safety and security of Indians" - As always, the police and govt appears only after the crime scene is all over! Parents of Indian students in Australia are still crossing their fingers as to what the Aussie govt plans to do to prevent the attacks from happening!
