Meena in Kuselan, Simran out for good!

Posted: 16 years ago

 

The cast of Kuselan, the upcoming Rajinikanth film which is a remake of the Malayalam Katha Paryumbol is getting finalized. The pivotal roles will be done by Rajinikanth and Pasupathy and there have been varied rumors regarding the lady leads in the film. Many leading names were discussed but not confirmed. As regards super star's

Meena

heroine, Nayanthara turned lucky for the third consecutive time and bagged the role.

Now for the role of Pasupathy's wife, Tabu and Simran were considered but they were not able to give their consent due to their prior commitments. In the original version Meena was the wife of Sreenivasan and the mother of three children. When she was approached to do the same role in Tamil, she has also agreed. While talking to the media, director P Vasu said, "As per Kuselan's script, Meena's role is that of a young mother whose children are in the school going age group. Her performance was wonderful in Katha Paryumbol and we were very keen that she does the same role in Tamil too. We are also very sure that Meena is the right choice for this role and thankfully she has also agreed to do the film".

More news regarding that movie:

Trisha might have missed the chance of acting with the superstar. But she is dancing with him for a single song. It will be in 'Kuselan', Rajinikanth's next film.

Wait. Trisha is not the only star who is dancing with the superstar. The song has Kamal Haasan, Ajith, and Vijay as well. The movie, portraying Rajini as a superstar, has a song sequence featuring all these stars.

When director P. Vasu requested all these stars, everyone immediately accepted to act. So, we will get to see many leading stars appearing together on screen after a long time.

this is great news!πŸ‘πŸ‘ meena is a great actress, she might not have impressed me in masthana masthana but she still makes me applaud her acting in films.

i'm glad they choose a good replacement for simran.πŸ˜›

ha.. trisha lost out the chance to be in a rajini film yet again? it's so pathetic that she's reduced to doing an item number for the film. anyways, it's her loss & nayanthara's gain.

wow.. ajith & vijay together in a song? that's something to watch out for.πŸ˜ƒ kamal hassan agreed to share screen space with rajini? that's indeed a miracle. kamal's huge ego usually doesn't allow anyone else to share the screen space with him.πŸ˜†πŸ˜†

there's also Vasool Raja M.B.B.S with prabhu.😊

meli, have you noticed that in all the films you mentioned, kamal hassan overshadowed the other hero by a whole mile? he gets the other person to play second fiddle for him, never playing it himself. so to me, it as good as not sharing screen space with anyone.πŸ˜†πŸ˜†

the old film of ajith & vijay is called Rajavin Parvayil meli.😊 ajith dies in the film though, maybe because vijay was a bigger star then the director couldn't make him die instead.πŸ˜†πŸ˜†

Hey Leena,

Kamal is one actor who I think gives priority to roles rather than hogging the limelight...Eg:

1. Sathi Leelavathi- Equal importance was given to Ramesh Arvind

2. Thenali - Jayaram had an equally good role

3. Virumaandi - Pasupathi had a very powerful role.. almost equal to Kamal

4. Vetri Vizaa - Prabhu had a very nice role

5. Magalir Mattum - Nasar was the main role and Kamal comes only in the last scene

Even in Anbe Sivam Madhavan had a major role and was there with Kamal almost through out the movie.

Not many heroes are willing to act in movies where screen space is equally shared by powerful performers!!! So I think Kamal is different that way as he is not intimidated by the presence of another hero.

What I like about his movies are that the other characters are also noticable and get recognized for their performance.

My 2 cents😊

I agree with you dear!!!!

Same here not a useless actress.

ha.. trisha lost out the chance to be in a rajini film yet again? it's so pathetic that she's reduced to doing an item number for the film. anyways, it's her loss & nayanthara's gain.

Money is what matters to her. Not storyline.

wow.. ajith & vijay together in a song? Yeah, after many years which i saw them together in an odd movie which wos a flop.  that's something to watch out for.πŸ˜ƒ kamal hassan agreed to share screen space with rajini? that's indeed a miracle. Well, after many years, before they shared many screen space in numerous films back in the days.

 kamal's huge ego usually doesn't allow anyone else to share the screen space with him.πŸ˜†πŸ˜† Thats well true.

Quite contrary Jiggs, actually. There was news all over the place a few months ago, that Kamal approached Rajini (probly with KB in tow) with a plan of them acting together in a movie to benefit Kavithalaya, b'cos they weren't doing so well financially. The movie was supposed to be directed by Maniratnam. The news was that in fact, it was Rajini who thought it was not a good idea (based on Sivajai's huge success) and turned it down for the moment.

And Ditto, ditto, ditto to everything Suram has said.

1. Sathi Leelavathi- Equal importance was given to Ramesh Arvind

If I may add, he had Kovai Sarala play his pair (which you can't imagine any other hero do for the sake of their "image" ) and gave her more than enough acting scope and she was TERRIFIC.

2. Thenali - Jayaram had an equally good role

3. Virumaandi - Pasupathi had a very powerful role.. almost equal to Kamal

You heard back then, while this movie was a "serious" contender for the national award, there were talks about the two contenders for the best actor award as well between Pasupathy and Kamal. So you can imagine the scope that was given to Pasupathy in this one. Pasupathy who had only donned the typical fomulaiac villain roles in his previous movies, was all in praise of Kamal for giving him a role equivalent to Kamal himself, which brought forth his acting potential to mainstream cinema.

In Mumbai Express as well, Pasupathy and the other actors including Vaiyapuri got a lot of scope and we saw Pasupathy in a different shade, displaying good comic timing and sense.

4. Vetri Vizaa - Prabhu had a very nice role

5. Magalir Mattum - Nasar was the main role and Kamal comes only in the last scene

Even in Anbe Sivam Madhavan had a major role and was there with Kamal almost through out the movie.

Actually after this movie was released, there were a number of Kamal fans who complained to him about more screen space given to Madhavan, than himself. Madhavan has said in several interviews that Kamal encouraged him immensely during the shooting of this film and that he is grateful that this movie brought back his career which was hitting a slump at that time.

Not many heroes are willing to act in movies where screen space is equally shared by powerful performers!!! So I think Kamal is different that way as he is not intimidated by the presence of another hero.

What I like about his movies are that the other characters are also noticable and get recognized for their performance.

Exactly!! You don't see many front-runners doing this kind of thing at all. Even Ajith when he was asked if he would do a movie with Vijay, he diplomatically said that there's no need for such a thing in Tamil movies for 2 big actors to be in the same movie, b'cos their fans expect something different from each star and their expectations cannot be fulfilled, when the stars share screen space in the same movie.

My 2 cents😊

Now, let's make that 4 πŸ˜†
