Purnima coming back?

Popular actress Purnima has been out of the cinebuzz arena for long, busy with her family and personal matters. The fans had little to look forward to but a music video recently released sparked a glimpse of home among them.
The filming of “To be continued” started a few years back, starring Tahsan and Purnima, directed by Iftekhar Ahmed Fahmi. However, production suddenly stopped and the venture seemed abandoned. The film will now be produced by Impress Telefilms, and the release of the new music video is hinting towards that. The song titled “E Amar Kemon Oshukh” saw glimpses of Purnima and Tahsan together and fans are yet again hopeful that Purnima is to return.

Aishwarya Rajesh is young mother!



Aishwarya Rajesh is elated to play a role of a young mother in her upcoming film, Aarathu Sinam. "When Arivazhagan narrated the script, I was impressed with my character. I play a cop's wife for the first time, and a loving mother. In Kaakha Muttai, I played a mother of two kids, who hail from a slum. In Aarathu Sinam, my character is very homely, cute and an affectionate one. It's very different from my previous films," she says, adding, "All credit goes to cinematographer Aravinnd Singh and director Arivazhagan for giving me a new look."
About shooting with a four-year-old kid, she says, "Most of the time, we had night shoots and it was difficult for us to convince a four-year-old kid to act during those wee hours. However, I had to create a bond with him. Only after that we went for a 'take'. It was an interesting experience."

Bollywood has made Sufi music a separate genre - Kavita Seth

Kavita, who is the voice behind songs like "Iktara" and "Tum Hi Ho Bandhu", feels Hindi films are nowadays using Sufi music a lot. "Today there is a lot of exposure of Sufi music in Bollywood. Earlier there was none." Kavita said. The 45-year-old, who made her singing debut with Himesh Reshmiya's "Vaada", went on to sing in films like
“Gangster", "Wake up Sid", "Raajneeti" and
"Cocktail".
On contemporary film music, Kavita believes that songs today lack shelf life as the process of composing them has become 'mechanical.' The singer has recently lent her voice for the song "Jeetey Hai Chal" from the Sonam Kapoor-starrer "Neerja". Kavita says it was the film's director, Ram Madhvani, who approached her to sing the song. "I had sung a few song for Ram when he was making advertisements and he called me and asked me to sing a song." Kavita said.
