Vijay and Lawrence are saviors

Young Yashwanth was suffering from blood pressure, nausea, severe head ache and nose bleeds. Doctors at various hospitals in Andhra Pradesh, on examining him, declared that this is a rare disorder and cannot be treated.

The child then sought the help of actor Lawrence after coming to know that he is helping children like him through the trust he has instituted. Lawrence referred Yashwanth to Vijay who promised all the support and help he could. The Ilayathalapthy also got in touch with Dr. KR Balakrishnan at the Malar Hospital in Chennai.

The child was sent in for thorough examination and it was diagnosed that there was damage in the heart valve that connects to the kidney. The doctor also informed Vijay that the operation would cost several lakh of rupees to which the actor replied that he will bear all the expenses.

The child has now got a new lease of life, and met Vijay at Pushpa Gardens where he was shooting for Kavalan to express his gratitude. Yashwanth’s parents were also with him during this emotionally charged-up meeting.

Endhiran : The Robot; 2nd Slot In USA

For the first time in the history of US Box Office, a non english film Endhiran, which stars rajinikanth, who enjoys a demi-god status among 100 million tamil people, has got the 2nd place(No.2 film) in the entire USA on 30th Septemeber.

According to a hollywood media, which reported this news couple of days ago, this feat was achieved by Endhiran(The Tamil version) on the Thursday the 30th September 2010 and as per the trend Endhiran will hit the No.1 spot at the US box office on Friday.

As per Rentrak, the audience measurement company in USA, it turned out to be the No.2 film in the entire USA on 30th September with the Hollywood flick “ Social Network” taking in the No.1 position.

In USA there is a trend of premiering a movie one day ahead of the actual release of the fim and it is called "Paid Previews". Endhiran achieved this feat only in Paid Previews. We have to wait couple of days before the actual position of "Endhiran" in US Box office to come out.

Though no major hollywood flick of any major hollywood stars released this friday, for a indian/tamil film it is an Unrivaled and Unparalleled feat says the critics.

It seems there is no boundary for Rajini magic and it works every where despite the language barriers.

Rajini is a phenomenon, No denying that!!!

Lakshmi Rai denied UK visa

Is beauty a gift or curse? Its a curse as far as  Lakshmi Rai is concerned as she was denied visa by UK officials citing her elegant beauty as the reason and said she would settle down  in UK after entering the country.

Lakshmi Rai, who was a lead actress in the films like dhaam dhoom, IKMS and many other films, now acts in a malayalam movie "christian brothers". One portion of the shooting was scheduled to happen in UK and the film's producer applied for UK visas for all the crew members.

UK authorities issued visas for all but lakshmi rai. The reason the UK officials cited for refusal of her visa is her elegant beauty saying that there is a high probability that she would settle down in UK with her beautiful appearance. Later it was learned that lack of information was the reaoson for the refusal of the visa.

Lakshmi rai, though dejected by the fact that she was denied UK visa, is hilariously happy about the comments made by the british embassy officials about her beauty.

After the incident, film's producer gave enough background informations and reasons for her visit to UK and she too handed over her old tickets to various countries as proof.

UK officials, who saw all those proofs and informations, granted her visa regretting for their previous act of refusing her the visa. Lakshmi rai is relieved a lot now.

Is beauty a gift or a curse? Answer Beauty is a double edged sword.
