IT'S touted as the first Tamil film to be shot entirely in the US and the excitement doesn’t end there. 'Meiporul' is special to the Tamil film fraternity for sentimental reasons too.
It’s the debut film of NRI civil engineer turned film producer and director Natty Kumar, son of producer TN Janakiraman of MR Arts Fame. The audio launch of the film was marked by the presence of several producers who lauded the efforts of the youngster.
As dad Janakiraman put it, “Since Natty became an engineer and settled in the US, I never imagined that one day I would be introducing him as a producer and director, carrying on my film lineage. It’s a very satisfying moment for me”
Dreams on Frames’ 'Meiporul' is a family suspense thriller, produced by Natty Kumar and Krishna Bala and has several American technicians. The background score is by John Masey while the camera has been handled by Chris Elridge. Lenin edits while Rahul debuts as the music director with this film.
Speaking on the occasion, S Ve Sekar remarked, “It's very courageous of Natty to make a film like this, spending in dollars, without even knowing the outcome of it. The film looks slick and America seems to be the real hero in it.” So what made Natty take up this film? “My dad gave me an Indian education while my wife made me go back to school in the US!” quipped Natty.
“Thanks to her encouragement, I did a film technology course in the US and the movie is the outcome of my interest in filmmaking.” The film’s co-producer, Krishna Bala was an IT geek in Napster before the film bug bit him too.
With more and more people from various backgrounds making Tamil films, looks like there are good times ahead for the film industry.

Bollywood's new entrant Deepika Padukone, whose second film Bachna Ae Haseeno is due for release Aug 15, is considered the hot favourite actress by Indian audiences across the globe. She tops the popular Maxim Hot 100 girls worldwide list.
The Maxim Hot list makes its debut in India and the Om Shanti Om star, Deepika, is winner of the first edition.

She joins the likes of previous Bollywood celebrity-winners like Bipasha Basu, Katrina Kaif and Kareena Kapoor.
"Deepika was our choice as the winner because apart from her huge fan following with the new generation of Indians, she also has the potential to be an international face. This calls for a huge party," said Anup Kutty, editor of Maxim-India.

Shah Rukh the 'early bird'!
Shah Rukh Khan wasn’t joking when he sang I am the best. Take the recent case which happened on the sets of his home production, Billoo Barber.
A source present on the sets said, “The film’s director, Priyadarshan, was chatting with SRK one day, when he casually mentioned the dedication and discipline of some lead actors like Akshay Kumar, Govinda and Salman Khan. Priyan also cited some examples about their professionalism and how they always report early to the sets. That’s when SRK took up the challenge to follow suit.”
When contacted, Priyadarshan, who is currently shooting in Pollachi, laughed and said, “I was casually telling SRK that Akshay, Govinda and Salman always come earlier than the scheduled reporting time to the sets. At times they are on the sets even before me. That’s when SRK took up the challenge of reaching the sets earlier than me.”
And guess what! The very next morning, SRK who used to generally report to the sets by 9 am, was there at 7 am. Priyadarshan added, “I was on my way to the location when I saw Shah Rukh’s car speed past mine. He reported to the sets before 7 am.” Billoo Barber also stars Lara Dutta, Om Puri and Irrfan Khan.
