Kamal Encourage them all

Young heroes in Tamil cinema go the Kamal Hassan way. Kamal Hassan has been donning different makeup for Dasavatharam. It takes over four hours for Kamal to get himself ready for each role.

Following Kamal Hassan, up and coming actors like Bharath and Jeeva too have evinced keen interest in going in for a different makeup’s.

Bharath is playing the title role in a movie titled Nepali. Directed by V Z Durai, the movie features Bharath in the role of a Nepali Gurkha. In order to suit the role, the actor is donning a different makeup and it takes over a couple of hours for him to get ready with the makeup. Similarly Jeeva for his Thamizh MA has opted for a new makeup.

Priyamani gets going

The long wait for success for Priyamani ended with Paruthi Veeran. Though she had acted in several Tamil films before, it was Paruthi Veeran which propelled her career in Tamil. Her role was widely acclaimed and she had more offers coming her way. Meanwhile, the actress has also established herself successfully in Tollywood.

She is part of a couple of big projects which includes a movie opposite Junior NTR.

In Yamadonga, Priyamani plays Junior NTR's heroine. Malluwood girl Mamta Mohandas is also in the cast.

She is acting in Toss opposite Raja. The movie features Kamna Jethmalani too.

Says Priyamani, “I am delighted to have won a place in both Tamil and Telugu film industry. I would concentrate on doing movies in both Tamil and Telugu.”

Though she is getting enough offers now to play a part of commercial cinema, Priyamani hopes to do at least one off-beat film a year.

Fake ration cards seized

Four persons, including a ration shop salesman, have been arrested on charges of circulating more than 500 bogus ration cards at Vikramangalam, near Usilampatti, in Madurai District, officials said today.

They were rounded up following raids conducted by top Civil Supplies Department officials after receiving complaints about circulation of bogus cards, they said.

According to officials, they were inquiring into the role of some officials of the Civil Supplies Department in the circulation the bogus ration cards, for which supplies had been made leading to the loss of several lakhs of rupees.

"We strongly suspect that the officials have connived in the offence. There could be more arrests at the official level," said a top official on condition of anonymity.

The raid also revealed that many genuine persons did not receive their ration cards.

The Joint Commissioner of Civil Supplies Chandramohan had visited some of the shops early last week and intense audit was conducted in some ration shops suspected to have been allotted bogus ration cards.

Police arrested Singam, assistant secretary of the Vikramangalam Primary Cooperative Society, Ravi, salesman, and two others. All of them were remanded to judicial custody.

Meanwhile, in Sivaganga district, police seized 190 bags of ration rice and arrested three persons on charges of smuggling it.

Three loadmen identified as Selvam, Saravanan and Periyasamy, who were travelling on the lorry, have been arrested.

They confessed that the PDS rice was being taken from a shop at Maravamangalam to Karaikudi.

The lorry driver managed to escape. A case has been registered
