Vishwaroop - Theatrical Trailer Tamil

Vishwaroopam is an upcoming Tamil-Telugu-Hindi trilingual Indian spy thriller film written, directed and co-produced by Kamal Haasan that features himself in the lead role.[1][2] The film, also has Pooja Kumar, Rahul Bose, Andrea Jeremiah and Jaideep Ahlawat in supporting roles. The soundtrack is composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, with lyrics by Vairamuthu for the Tamil and Javed Akhtar for the Hindi versions respectively. The film was shot with the same cast in both languages simultaneously, and is titled in Hindi as Vishwaroop.

Development of the project commenced after the release of Kamal's Manmadhan Ambu, and several of the crew were imported from Hollywood. The direction department was taken over by Kamal Haasan from Selvaraghavan, and reports indicating a comparison with Hollywood films surfaced during the production. The initially estimated budget was around INR150 crore (US$27.15 million), making it one of the most expensive Indian films. Due to delays, casting took a relatively long period of time, with several of the original cast dropping out of the project. The film was shot extensively overseas, in countries including the United States and Canada, while domestic locations included Chennai and Mumbai.

Gangster - Billa 2 Full Song

Billa 2 TRailer

Indian film audiences don’t have much experience of watching prequels, so Ajith Kumar’s ‘Billa 2’ can be an interesting watch for them. ‘Billa 2’ is the prequel of 2007 film ‘Billa’ which was directed by Vishnuvardhan. The new edition is directed by Chakri Toleti who has wielded the megaphone for films such as ‘Unnaipol Oruvan’ and ‘Eenadu’ in the past. 

The film’s story probes the history of a dreaded gangster David Billa and finds out the reasons behind his transformation from an ordinary man to a gang-lord. 

‘Billa’ was based on a 1980 film by the same name, it also had portions based on 2006 Hindi film ‘Don: The Chase Begins Again’. Nayantara had played the female lead in ‘Billa’ while this time Pravathy Omnakuttan and Bruna Abdullah will be seen opposite Ajith Kumar.

Vidyut Jamwal, who gained fame for his intense acting in ‘Force’, is also doing an important role in ‘Billa 2’. 

Despite doing very few films, Ajith Kumar has earned a distinct position in the Tamil film world. This time also the makers are planning to encash his huge popularity that’s why they have planned to release the film in as many theatres as possible. They are eyeing the foreign markets too, especially the USA, where ‘Billa 2’ is releasing in more than 60 screens, second only to Rajinikanth’s ‘Enthiran’. 

The music of the film by Yuvan Shankar Raja has already become a rage among youths which in turn will fetch the film benefits at the box office. 

Ajith Kumar is the biggest attraction of ‘Billa 2’ and the film’s performance will entirely depend on his portrayal of a people friendly don. The spectators would also love to watch Ajith Kumar performing daredevil stunts that he has done without using a body double.

Frankenstein

Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a novel written by Mary Shelley about a creature produced by an unorthodox scientific experiment. Shelley started writing the story when she was eighteen, and the novel was published when she was twenty-one. The first edition was published anonymously in London in 1818. Shelley's name appears on the second edition, published in France in 1823.


Shelley had travelled the region in which the story takes place, and the topics of galvanism and other similar occult ideas were themes of conversation among her companions, particularly her future husband, Percy. The storyline emerged from a dream. Mary, Percy, Lord Byron, and John Polidori decided to have a competition to see who could write the best horror story. After thinking for weeks about what her possible storyline could be, Shelley dreamt about a scientist who created life and was horrified by what he had made. She then wrote Frankenstein.


Frankenstein is infused with some elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement and is also considered to be one of the earliest examples of science fiction. Brian Aldiss has argued that it should be considered the first true science fiction story, because unlike in previous stories with fantastical elements resembling those of later science fiction, the central character "makes a deliberate decision" and "turns to modern experiments in the laboratory" to achieve fantastic results.[1] The story is partially based on Giovanni Aldini's electrical experiments on dead and (sometimes) living animals and was also a warning against the expansion of modern humans in the Industrial Revolution, alluded to in its subtitle, The Modern Prometheus. It has had a considerable influence across literature and popular culture and spawned a complete genre of horror stories and films.


Since publication of the novel, the name "Frankenstein" is often used to refer to the monster itself, as is done in the stage adaptation by Peggy Webling. This usage is sometimes considered erroneous, but usage commentators regard the monster sense of "Frankenstein" as well-established and not an error.[2][3][4] In the novel, the monster is identified via words such as "creature," "monster", "fiend", "wretch", "vile insect", "daemon", and "it". Speaking to Dr. Frankenstein, the monster refers to himself as "the Adam of your labors", and elsewhere as someone who "would have" been "your Adam", but is instead your "fallen angel."

Curved Screen Smartphones??

Samsung has quietly given a name to its flexible AMOLED technology in a sign it's getting closer to a real launch. Now called Youm, it makes the thin film transistor and the encapsulation entirely out of film instead of glass. The changes not only let it bend and fold freely but, according to Samsung, make it "unbreakable," thinner, and lighter.

The company has fully committed to the name and has trademarks with the USPTO. They cover multiple different forms of AMOLED screens to keep the Youm name active in the long term.

Samsung starts bulk production of flexible displays sometime during the spring and, if on track, could be in a shipping product before the end of 2012. Among the candidates could be things as simple as curved-screen smartphones and wristwatches to folding phones and portable devices whose displays unfold.
