CHENNAI, APRIL 8

SUN TV Channel's Kula Deivam will soon over. The climax scenes of the serial were picturised in a marriage hall on Saturday, the 7th April, with artistes busily walking down the floors of a marriage hall in Vadapalani, Chennai. The artistes keep on changing their costumes off and on getting readied for their respective scenes filmed then.
Veteran actress Vadivukarasi wearing a spectacles was walking on the marriage halls and the Assistant Director was narrating the dialogues for the scene. Vadivukarasi, who had crossed more than 35 years of acting, listens to the dialogues of the director. She understands the sequences of the scenes and joyfully walks out of the marriage hall, telling that she had memorized the dialogues.
Ace stage and film actor and also director Mouli who pairs with Vadivukarasi in the serial is seen sitting on a chair, when another associate director narrates him the dialogues for a combined scene with Vadivukarasi. He just calmly listens to it and okays that he was ready for the shot.
Meanwhile myself (N.Thyagarajan) and my office Photographer K.Babu neared him and said that we were fortunate to see him there. Thyagarajan to Mouli had recalled about the Flight No.172, a stage play enacted by Mouli with Y.G.Mahendran on Music Academy, some forty years ago. He also said that after seeing the play, he had never laughed in his life time, laughing to that extent. He praised Mouli for making such comedy stage plays, which had brought ribs-tickling laughter at the Music Academy and elsewhere in the country wherever the the Flight No 172 was staged. Mouli thankfully acknowledges and stand before the camera for the climax scenes to be shot with Vadivukarasi for the Kula Deivam serial. 
Mouli has the knack of acting in films and also in serials with delivery of dialogues calmly and at times showing his anger when the sequences of the scenes needed it. Even then in anger-mood scenes, he had delivered his dialogues calmly, but his powerful eyes would showed, that he was in angry-mood. 
Eminent Dance Artiste Shanthi, who was seen in dancing for the title song of the SUN TV channel serial Metti Oli, has been acting in the Kula Deivam serial seemed to be a little bit looking pathos, for she had to act in the serial sending away her mother (Vadivukarasi) in a van, from the marriage hall.
The artistes having the roles of Alamu (Sruthika), Inspector Ranjith Raj Kanth), Rohith (Bavithran) Kayal were too present at the marriage hall for the climax scenes.
E.V.Ganesh Babu who acts as the eldest son to Vadivu-Mouli couples, says that for the last three years, the entire artistes of the troupe have been moving with each other as own family members and the coming end of the serial makes him sad.
Ganesh Babu also added that that he had been invited to produce a film and has been focusing much on the shooting of the new film. Ganesh Babu also does a meaty role in Valli.
Myself and photographer were waiting to see the Director Thiru Murugan, till 9 pm on Saturday. But someone from the production side said that he had been busy with the schedules of producing another mega-serial in Delhi and Thiruvaiyaru in Thanjavur. They lovingly call the director as Thiru said, that he had been producing the new serial Kalyana Veedu, but with different artistes, i.e, the artistes who had appeared in Nadhaswaram serial.
One thing I could understand from the shooting i.e., they were not only actors, but good human beings who love each other and their faces expressed their sorrowfulness, due to that they may not be able to meet every day, as they used to meet in the last three years.
Similarly, millions of  viewers who love the Kula Deivam serial would surely miss them. The very same experience when Metti Oli and Nadhaswaram serials of Thiru Murugan ended in the Sun TV Channel. But Thiru Murugan gives the viewers yet another happiness by producing the Kalyana Veedu to be telecast soon in the channel every day, except Saturdays and Sundays.

Akhilanda Koti Brahmananda Nayakan, a successful film

By N.THYAGARAJAN


Sri Nagarjuna, son of renowned Telugu and Tamil film actor Shree Akkineni Nagaswara Rao has made sometime ago proved his caliber in acting through Annamacharya, a devotional film, based on the real story mentioned in Lord of Tirumala hills  purana with Shri Annamacharya.

Nagarjuna then had acted as Saint Annamacharya who sang many hymns in praise of the Lord of Seven Hills. The Telugu version of the film which was dubbed into Tamil and released throughout the city had proved a box-office hit. People in Tamil Nadu, welcomed the impeccable performance of Nagarjuna. There were many in Tamil Nadu who had enjoyed the Tamil version many number of times.

Nagarjuna has made yet another record through the film, Akilanda Koti Brahmanda Nayakan which was released in Tamil Nadu recently.
 Rama an ardent devotee of Lord Venkatesa was not allowed to enter the temple of Lord Balaji. Though he has the grace of the Lord, for some reasons he was not allowed inside the temple. Then the devotee Rama starts staying outside the temple, only uttering the names of Lord Venkatesa foregoing his meals every day. When the king visits  the temple, people complains about the executive officer of the temple. They say to the king, the officer swindles the revenue of the temple. Then the King  who has unshakeable belief with the Lord says, that the real devotee of Lord Balaji could alone give clean administration, as they would not long for the revenue of the temple or for any other persons. The King sees the devotion of Raman who was rounding outside the temple uttering the name of the Lord appoints him as the executive of the temple.

The ex-Executive Officer who became angry on being stripped off his position and appointing  Raman in his place creates enmity and tries to take revenge against Raman. All his plans flops because of the Grace of Sri Venkateswara.

Lord Himself starts playing dice with His Devotee Raman, in which Lord looses all his ornaments. The next day when the temple was opened for the public darshan, the priests of the temple were shocked to find that there was no gold ornaments in the temple.

Raman was branded a culprit. Then the Lord Himself appears and tells that He alone had lost all His ornaments to Raman. 

The story revolves around whether the Lord Himself played the dice with his devotee Raman. (Though it was a real story of Lord of Tirumala Hills with Raman), for the entertainment of  audience, the producer had introduced Nagarjun with a female character Anushka, as his wife.

Nagarjun has the knack of doing any devotional role with calm and unsullied mind , and this he proves it in this film also. Nagarjun has the idiosyncrasy of smiling  by simply moving his lips for a while and then go back to his original position. The audience always expected him to give a long smiling, but as a devotee of the Lord of Hills, a small smile with scaled dialogues alone would prove the merit of the character. In this, Nagarjun never failed. Similarly, the devotee Raman never challenges with anyone because he has the power of the Lord.

When Raman begs Lord Venkatesa that he wanted to die at the Tirumala Hills, the Lord grants him the boon. One could not forget the action of Nageswara Rao's son Nagarjun had exemplified in acting in each and every frame.

The film is really suitable and could be seen with all family members, as it was not attached with any vulgarity..
