Kamal did 9 characters in his Dasavatharam. This has created a trend wave in Kollywood and every man in the industry wants to try his talent doing many roles in a single movie.
Now Rajini is to do 20 roles in Kuselan. Rajini's 20, will be for a single song as he did in Basha!
If Kamal Does 9,Rajini Does For 20

Ekta Kapoor gives Milan Luthria an ultimatum
Considering every director has done underworld cinema to death - from Mahesh Bhatt to Ram Gopal Varma - and considering Sanjay has played a gangster in so many prominent and inconspicuous films, Luthria is at his wit's end as to how he should approach the age-old theme.
I've been focusing on getting the writing right. It's not easy to make a film that looks at the 1980s era and still manages to tell a powerful story, Luthria told IANS.
Although the director is trying to get the basics right for the project, he is clear about the fact that he will focus on gangsterism in the 1980s.
My film for Ekta will take a penetrating look at gangsterism in the 1980s. I'm quite enamoured by the period, quite taken up by the period and its flamboyance. There was a lot of action and inner life in some of the films during that period. I think the last film that looked at gangsterism from inside was Anurag Basu's 'Gangster - A Love Story'.
He admits the challenge is to give it a fresh look.
Earlier, when I was assisting Mahesh Bhatt, he did some interesting takes on gangsterism like 'Saathi' and 'Sir'. The challenge is to have a fresh take at the whole era. I've to take the whole period into account and yet it can't be a rambling look at the era. It has to have a strong story to tell. It has to be a clutter-breaking gangster film.

Bachchan releases new album by Clayderman and Rahul Sharma
''It's good to see that Rahul has been brought up to follow his father's (Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma) footsteps, when young people get so easily distracted.
I congratulate his parents for ensuring that their musical heritage has been carried over by their son,'' Bachchan said at the release yesterday, which was attended by film producer Yash Chopra, RPG Chairman Harsh Goenka, singer Adnan Sami and Rahul's father and Santoor maestro Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma.
The album features the same combination of fusion music as its predecessor -- '' Confluence'' -- which stayed at the World Music charts for six years with Sharma on Santoor and Clayderman on piano.The sound is more contemporary with a remix track added to entice the Club and House music listeners. Seven of the nine tracks have been composed by Sharma and will be promoted by the video of the album's single
''The Chase''.''Speaking as a 'guru', my biggest satisfaction is seeing Rahul take the instrument and try out something that I had not tried,'' Shiv Kumar Sharma said proudly.
