Kannada actress Haripriya says she wants to be as popular as Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai and has pinned her hopes on forthcoming controversial film “Mukhyamantri I Love You” to make it big.

She has teamed up with actor Vijay in the film. Directed by journalist-turned-director Ravi Belagere, “Mukhyamantri I Love You” is said to be about former Karnataka chief minister H.D. Kumaraswamy’s alleged link with a Kannada actress.

Haripriya plays an IAS officer in the film and is married to a chief minister called Tantre Gowda who gets close to an actress.

“For the first time I play a bureaucrat’s role in ‘Mukhyamantri I Love You’. I have accepted the film because of Ravi sir,” said Haripriya, who debuted with the not so successful “Manasugala Maathu Madhura” in 2007.

“Mukhyamantri I Love You” attracted media attention when Kumaraswamy’s father and former prime minister H.D. Devegowda filed a defamation case for Rs.100 million and sought a stay on the film’s release. Belagere, also the editor of Kannada tabloid Hi! Bangalore, has been asked not to release the film unless cleared by the court.

Haripriya’s second film “Vasantha Kaala” sank at the box office. Flops notwithstanding, the actress is getting good offers. Other than “Mukhyamantri I Love You”, she has signed “Ee Sambhashane” and forayed into Tamil films with “Kanagavel Kakka”.

The actress said that the three films she is currently doing are very different from one another. She added that she chooses scripts very carefully.

“I’m not just accepting any offer that comes my way. I have rejected at least 15-20 offers because of poor scripts. I want to act in performance-oriented roles. I just don’t want to do touch and go type of roles. That’s why I have been very choosy.

“I am giving more prominence to story, screenplay, director and the banner. I want to earn a good name in the industry. I just don’t want to do each and every role that comes my way. If the role demands some exposure so be it. I am prepared to do such roles if they are strong enough,” said Haripriya.

Asked about the rumoured affair with her co-star Anand on the sets of “Manasugala Maathu Madhura”, she said: “I have nothing to do with Anand. He is just a good friend of mine. ‘Manasugala Maathu Madhura’ was a debut film for both of us. We had been good friends during the time of shoot and there is nothing beyond that.

“But I was shocked to read that I was having an affair with Anand. I couldn’t believe that such rumours can float freely in this industry. Even before I could come to terms with this, the director of the film accused me of unprofessional attitude.”

Director Manjunath Maskalmatti had apparently alleged that Haripriya was not punctual on sets.

“There was a slight misunderstanding between us which we were able to solve later. After these two incidents, I have decided to be very careful in the future. I just don’t want to be part of any rumour mongering. I prefer to keep silent and just follow what the director says. I am just concentrating on my acting,” Haripriya said.

The intelligent director and darling of middle class audience Ramesh Aravind fourth directorial venture ‘Venkata in Sankata’ started rolling from Monday September 29th.  Ramesh plays a cop in this film and directing the film for Sinema House a corporate company in Bangalore.

‘Venkata is a traffic police cop. He is always in a soup and keeps getting into trouble. And he has two wives. Venkata is demoted because of the mistakes he commits while on duty. There are many comical situations which are sure to evoke big laughs in the theatre,’ says the actor-director Ramesh Aravind who will be directing this flick.

Ganesha Matea Banda once again proves that Phani Ramachandra excels as a maker of clean and entertaining comedies. The next in line in the Ganesha series after “Ganeshana Maduve”, “Ganeshana Galaate”, “Gowri Ganesha” and “Ganesha-Subramanya”, “Ganesha Maththe Bandha” too caters to all classes of audience. The earlier films in the series continue to be hits in the DVD circuit now.

After a long gap from the film industry, Phani comes back to direct “Ganesha Maththe Bandha” that is sure to win over audiences with its great comedy quotient. Phani, through the film, sends the message that compatible mindsets are essential for the success of a marriage.

And though the film at times seems like a discourse on the merits and demerits of love and arranged marriages, it still ends up being a good entertainer.

“Ganesha Maththe Bandha” reflects the aspirations, emotions and dreams of the tradition-bound lower middle class families. But the film suffers because of poor music composition by V. Manohar and the background score could also have been better.

The cinematography is just average. If the technical aspects of this film were more advanced, “Ganesha Maththe Bandha” could have been an even better film.

Ganesha, the protagonist, is brought up in traditional moorings in a village near Sakleshpur, and he gets a job in Bangalore as a software engineer. His father wants him to stay in a Vataara, a cluster of middle class houses, belonging to his friend Padmanabhacharya, who is a strict disciplinarian.

Being a youngster with a modern outlook, Ganesha finds many paradoxes in Padmanabhacharya’s family. He likes Gayathri, the second daughter of Padmanabhacharya, who is also attached to traditional values and beliefs. Ganesha persuades her parents and the two get married.

Padmanabhacharya’s first daughter, meanwhile, has an inter-caste marriage. While her father doesn’t approve of the match initially, he relents later.

As the story proceeds, Ganesha gets disillusioned with Gayathri and Padmanabhacharya’s first daughter’s marriage also sours. The film shows how these problems get sorted out. See this film to enjoy the few laughs it provides.

Veteran actors Anant Nag, Vinaya Prakash and Doddanna are superb. Vijaya Raghavendra shows his mastery over comedy and he also displays his singing talent in a song. Pragna also shows class.

Maadesha Movie Photo Gallery

Madesha is an Kannada film starring Shivaraj Kumar and Sonu Bhatia. Maadesha movie is directed by Ravi Srivatsa and produced by B M Govardhan Murthy.

Madesha joins the league of movies which are based on the underworld. Hat-trick hero Shivarajkumar re-invents himself as a don in this movie. Madesha (Shivrajkumar) alias Mada alias Nanjangud Madesha accidently enters the world of crime as a teenager. Madesha wants to carve a niche for himself in Bangalore and doesn’t mind the underworld route. The golden-hearted goon goes out to seek justice for others in true underworld style.

Clever, tactful and manipulative, Madesha soon dethrones the don Guru Narayan (Ramesh Pandit) and in place crowns Sarkar (Ravi Belagere). But as power equations change Madesha takes over the reins. The movie is laced with good special effects-both visual and audio. Shivrajkumar gets funky with new style and stunts and lives the role. Though sentiments expressed towards one’s mother and motherland is worth watching, the film unnecessarily glorifies crime and provides justification too.

The dialogues apart from being proactive, deify Madesha. Due to lack of characterisation others including Sonu have little to offer. The songs are passable. Despite its breeziness, the film lacks soul, which is a pity, really. Source: deccanherald.com
