Vijay,Jiiva, Srikanth Interview abt 3 Idiots..

The idiot factor: It was the last scene of the movie when it gets too emotional, and I was supposed to be happy for my friends. Jeeva said something so funny that I really couldn’t control my laughter for almost 20 minutes. The entire crew was waiting for me to finish.

Working with Shankar: I wanted to work with him for a very long time. He can also act well and has good timing. He is one of the best directors I have worked with.

Favourite sound: The Tamil version of ‘Zubi Dubi’, ‘Aska aska’, is my favourite song. I enjoyed shooting it. Incidentally, I’m hooked on to the ‘Kolaveri’ song.

Real life connect: My parents never wanted me to act. When I reached my 12th standard, I realized I had to act. I followed my dream, and that’s what the movie tells you to do.

Three’s company: I need to like the script to do any role. I really don’t mind working with Ajith or anyone else for that matter if I like the script.

Time out: I love playing games and sports like tennis and cricket with my kids. I also like animated movies. Last month, I took my son and his classmates out to watch ‘The Adventures of Tintin’.
Jeeva becomes Koji

The Idiot factor: I used to travel in buses without a ticket. Once, a conductor came to check my ticket, I jumped out and ran. My friend got caught and had to pay a huge fine. After all the drama, he caught up with me, slapped me hard, and scolded me in the choicest language. Also, when I became an actor, I used to use a lot of foul language on the sets and the director could actually hear me. It took me a while to realise this.

Working with Shankar: He has no airs and has been very encouraging, especially since my role is supposed to be comical. He constantly gave me instructions as to what I should do and all the instructions are given over the microphone. He calls me ‘Koji’ after the release of my movie ‘Ko’. So he would say, ‘Koji turn right’ or ‘turn left.’
Favourite sound: I love the music of the film, especially ‘En friend pola’.

Three’s company: I am open to experimentation. In fact, all my roles have been different till now.

Time out: I am a gadget freak. I have all the new gadgets in the market including my favourite, the PS3. I love playing cricket as well.

Srikanth, the risk taker

The Idiot factor: In one part of the movie, I have a beard. One fine day, I assumed that those portions of the movie were completed, and I shaved. When I reached the sets, the director was shocked. He advised me not to be so careless. I felt very guilty.
Working with Shankar: He made each one of us feel very comfortable. Getting an opportunity to work with a man who has made brilliant movies is overwhelming. He would imitate us so well.

Favourite sound: My favourite track in the movie is ‘En friend pola’, the Tamil version of ‘All is well’. It took us 14 days to shoot this song.

Real-life connect: I was always into arts and drama and couldn’t imagine doing a ‘nine to six’ job. My parents warned me not to enter the film industry. I knew I was taking a calculated risk but I went ahead.

Three’s company: This film will be a trendsetter and help people break the shackles. We share an equal amount of space and importance in the movie.

Time out: I love gaming and carry my PS3 wherever I go. I also love cricket and will
soon be a part of the Celebrity Cricket League.

It looks like Jeeva is trying for a hat trick this year.

Udhayanidhi wanted his debut to be Nanban?

Producer turned actor Udhayanidhi Stalin has first decided to make his debut with director Shankar’s Nanban. He wanted to do the role played by Madhavan in the Hindi version when Shankar planned to do the remake.

By moving a step forward he even requested the producers of Nanban to cast him in one of the lead role but he later changed his mind. It was Udhayanidhi’s dream to make his big screen debut with a comedy flick and this might be the reason he wanted to star in Nanban. He changed his mind when director Rajesh approached him with the script of Oru Kal Oru Kannadi. Udhayanidhi was very much impressed with the script and decided to do the role.

It is very well known that director Rajesh is brilliant in making films with comedy and humor. This has attracted the producer and within no time they have started the film which is currently under wrapping up its third schedule.

'Nanban' secrets revealed

Taking shape on fast-track, details about Shankar's 'Nanban' are being guarded like an army secret. But still, we managed to get some juicy info on the Vijay-Srikanth-Jeeva starrer, which is a remake of 'Three Idiots'.

Shankar, we hear, has totally cutdown the north Indian flavour we saw in 'Three Idiots' and made several changes to the script. "Nanban is not a line-by-line of remake of the Aamir Khan starrer," say sources.

For example, there are a couple of scenes shot in a college in western Tamil Nadu, which one could not find in'‘Three Idiots'. Also, a few new characters are also there in 'Nanban' script.

"Shankar has carefully designed the looks of all lead players. Funny among them would be the 'bakthi pazham' getup of Jeeva. Kareena Kapoor's character, which is being played by Ileana, has also undergone various changes."

I was nervous to work with Vijay – Ileana

Ileana is gung ho about Nanban with Vijay, directed by Shankar. She bubbles over with enthusiasm while discussing the project. Apparently it is not a scene – by – scene lift from the original Three Idiots but a remake that takes into account Tamil sensibilities. Her character has also been tweaked a little and she credits Shankar for developing the character as well as her look in the film.
About working with Vijay she says she was a little nervous but everyone made her feel comfortable and helped her out with the language barrier. Vijay is a very composed person she says and is very friendly. He shares a great rapport with Jiiva, and Srikanth and the three enliven the sets considerably. “As for me, I am the fourth idiot on the set”, she adds with a laugh.

Right now, Shankar is carrying out the shooting schedule with Jeeva, Srikanth, Ileana and other junior artists. Vijay is trying to manage between ‘Nanban’ and ‘Velayudham’ since they vary with the times during day and night.

Soon after completing the schedule in Chennai, Shankar is planning to shoot the location to Spain for canning some songs.

Ileana, fourth idiot in Nanban

Sensuous and lissome lass beauty Ileana is currently busy with the shooting of her Kollywood film Nanban directed by Shankar.

On talking to a leading newspaper the actress said “I was very nervous on the first day of the shoot but as the days passed on I felt very comfortable with the entire unit. It is a complete new experience for me as I am not used to the working style of Kollywood and major drawback for me is the language. Director Shankar has made some changes to my role and it’s not a line-by-line remake. I have completed handed over my character and look to Shankar sir.  Even my look in the film has been designed carefully”.

On talking about her co stars Ileana says “Vijay is very calm and cool on the sets.  All three of them are very good friends. And I joining them have turned as the fourth idiot! Vijay, Jeeva and Srikanth are very cooperative and when I talk to them in Tamil they have not laughed or made fun on me. This made me more comfortable to work with the team. I was also approached for the Telugu version also but at present the producers are concentrating only on the Tamil remake”.

Vijay working on back to back schedules

ilayathalapathy Vijay is busy working on non stop schedules for two of his upcoming films. The actor still has to complete the shoot of Velayudham which will take another couple of weeks.

Velayudham is currently on the heels of completion as the climax stunt sequence is currently being shot in the gigantic sets erected at Kollywood’s favourite shooting spot Binny Mills. Vijay is going to join Nanban soon after wrapping up Velayudham. In spite of his tight schedules Vijay is making his best efforts to take part in Nanban’s shoot as the time zones vary between day and night.

Meanwhile Shankar is canning other parts of the film with Jeeva, Srikanth, Ileana and other junior artists in Chennai.

It is just because of Vijay’s dedication and commitment many directors want to work with him. Kudos to Vijay!

Ileana heaps laurels on Vijay

Nanban, the remake of Hindi hit Three Idiots, directed by Shankar is fast shaping up. Vijay plays the role enacted by Aamir Khan, while Jiiva and Srikanth and Jiiva are also in the cast. Ileana dons the character enacted by Kareena Kapoor.

Says Ileana, who is busy shooting for the movie, 'Vijay is always silent and at the same time he is a great colleague. He is very helpful and understands others troubles.

‘The two are very naughty. We keep on cracking jokes on the sets of Nanban with Vijay and Shankar joining us often. On the whole, we are having a blast while shooting for the film.’

Why no kiss for Vijay-Ileana?

From the time there is news that there would be a lip-lock scene between Vijay and Ileana in Nanban there is a puzzling situation among all the whether Shankar would retain the lip-lock scene or not.

But speculations are at a buzz that Shankar has decided not to have a kissing scene between Vijay and Ileana D'Cruz. It is known that Vijay is not going to kiss Ileana but the pair will be having close-up shot, which would look like a lip-to-lip scene. But the director has reportedly decided not shoot a smooching scene as it could pave the way for a hullabaloo and moreover the Tamil audience are not used to such scenes.

The unit is currently stationed in Chennai and is found busy filming a song. The filmmakers are in a decision to complete the film by August as they in plans of releasing the film during Diwali.

No kiss for Vijay-Ileana

Shankar had earlier said that he would not change Nanban script to the large extent. He hinted that he would make minor modifications to suit the taste of the Tamil audience. The fans were eagerly waiting to know whether the director would shoot a lip-lock scene between the lead stars or not, as 3 Idiots had a kissing scene in the climax. Speculations are rife that he has decided not to have a kissing scene between Vijay and Ileana D'Cruz.

Grapevine has it that Vijay will not kiss Ileana in Nanban. In 3 Idiots, Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor shared a passionate lip-lock. But the director will reportedly not shoot a smooching scene. It could pave the way for a controversy, as the Tamil audience are not used to such scenes. So, the Endhiran director has decided to do away with it, says a source. He might shoot a close-up shot, which would look like a lip-to-lip scene, concludes a source.

Meanwhile, Nanban unit is busy filming a song in Chennai. The makers are planning to wrap-up the movie by August. The movie, which also features Jeeva, Srikanth, Sathyaraj, Anuya, Lawrence Raghavendra, SJ Surya in the cast, is expected to hit the screens during Diwali.

'Nanban' comes to Chennai

After shooting in Coimbatore, Ooty, Andaman and Amsterdam, the cast and crew of 'Nanban', led by 'captain of the ship' Shankar, are now camping in Chennai, picturising some important scenes. "The shooting is taking place on East Coast Road, Hotel Le Royal Meridien, Perungudi, Guindy Kathipara and other places. 'Nanban' is taking shape at a fast pace, unlike other Shankar films," say sources.. Pointing out that the shoot of Shankar's previous venture 'Enthiran' hit the news columns for wrong reasons after traffic was disrupted on the Kathipara flyover, sources say the director is now very particular that no such thing should happen this time. "Recently a car chase was canned on a couple of busy places in broad daylight. But no one knows about it since the clever filmmaker shot it on a candid camera setup to avoid troubles to the traffic," they add.

‘Nanban’ for Deepavali

It’s almost confirmed. And only an official announcement has to be made. That ‘Nanban’, the Vijay-Srikanth-Jeeva starrer directed by Shankar, will see the light of the day on the day of lights- Deepavali.

A Tamil remake of Hindi blockbuster ‘Three Idiots’, ‘Nanban’ is busy taking shape in Coimbatore, Ooty, Andaman and Amsterdam. “Most parts of the shoot are over and Shankar will commence post-production soon,” say sources.

It is to be noted here that Shankar would take enough time for post-production since the director would never be ready for any compromise on the end product. “Since this is his first remake, he is putting extra efforts.”

With Ileana playing the role played by Kareena Kapoor in the Hindi original, Sathyaraj is doing the character of a college principal, who is the heroine’s father. Anuya has an important role, that of Ileana’s elder sister.
