&lt;div&gt;Riteish is simple: Genelia&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;February is going to be big for actress Genelia not only for personal but professional reasons!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The bride-to-be actress Genelia will tie the knot with her co-actor and long-time beau Riteish Deshmukh next month. Besides, their film, Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya is also releasing in February.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Talking about her fiancé, Genelia said: "I like the way Riteish is. He is a simple man at heart and a really spontaneous actor. Whenever he compered any award functions, I always thought that the gags were in the script, but now that I know him, I have realised that the gags are spur of the moment improvisations."&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;"We have been friends for a long time now. Love happened gradually. It was not realised in a day or two. We think our friendship went a little ahead and now we have decided to get married,” Genelia further said.&lt;/div&gt;</description><pubDate>Wed, 25 Jan 2012 11:22:06 GMT + 5:30</pubDate><largeimage>http://www.galatta.com/control/admin/image/1252012110620AMGenelia-Riteish-Deshmukh_2.jpg</largeimage></item><item><title>
Gautham Menon's Neethaane En Ponvasantham: More updates</title><link>http://tamil.galatta.com/entertainment/livewire/id/Gautham_Menon_Neethane_En_Ponvasantham_More_updates_57033.html</link><description>&lt;img width=72 src=http://www.galatta.com/control/admin/image/1242012104117PMgautham2.jpg align=left alt=
Gautham Menon's Neethaane En Ponvasantham: More updates/&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Gautham Menon's Neethaane En Ponvasantham: More updates&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Another Southern hottie Samantha Ruth Prabhu is all set to enter into Hindi cinema with Aditya Roy Kapur as her co-star.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Remember Aditya Roy Kapur? UTV's Siddharth and Delhi Belly actor Kunal Roy Kapur's curly-haired kid-brother made quite an impression with his two films Action Replayy and Guzaarish in 2010. Thereafter, he vanished almost to the point of non-existence, not answering messages or phone calls.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;It now turns out that the chuppa rustom Kapur has actually been busy in the South shooting for a Tamil-Telugu-Hindi tri-lingual being directed by Gautham Menon, in the news for his new Hindi film Ekk Deewana Tha.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Gautham apparently has shot almost the entire film already. When asked about the project, the prolific Tamil-Telugu-Hindi director admitted, "Yes, I am working with Aditya Roy Kapur in a film that I am making in three languages Tamil, Telugu and Hindi. The Hindi version with Aditya is called Assi Nabey Poore Sau."&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;While Roy Kapoor plays the lead in the Hindi version of this adventure-comedy-drama, Tamil superstar Jiiva and the Telugu star Nani play the lead in the other two versions of the film.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Interesting, Samantha whom Gautham Menon introduced in Tamil film in 2010 stars in all three versions of the film.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Says Menon, "I already have three different heroes in three different languages to deal with. In addition, three heroines would've been impossible to handle. So Samantha stars in all three languages."&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The director says shooting a tri-lingual is like making three different films. "I do one shot with Aditya and then the same shot with Jiiva and Nani. We go through every shot three times over in exactly the same way. I've never done a film simultaneously in three languages."&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;About Aditya Roy Kapoor, Menon says, "I spotted him on the location for Vipul Shah's Action Replay. I immediately knew he was right for Assi Nabey Poore Sau."&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Interestingly, the Roy boy has made headway on his own. Though his Bade Bhaiyya is the head honcho at UTV, it has been made clear to the ladla sibling that his corporate connections in Bollywood aren't going to get him roles.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Adds Gautham Menon, "At the moment my full focus is on the release of Ek Deewana Tha. It's simple old fashioned love story."&lt;/div&gt;

Kamal Haasan wants Shahrukh Khan for Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu remake</title><link>http://tamil.galatta.com/entertainment/livewire/id/Kamal_Haasan_wants_Shahrukh_Khan_for_Vettaiyaadu_Vilaiyaadu_remake_57032.html</link><description>&lt;img width=72 src=http://www.galatta.com/control/admin/image/1242012103753PMkamal11.jpg align=left alt=
Kamal Haasan wants Shahrukh Khan for Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu remake/&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Kamal Haasan wants Shahrukh Khan for Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu remake&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Shahrukh Khan is in a dilemma. He has to choose between the remakes of two Tamil remakes, A R Murogadoss' Ramanna and Gautham Menon's Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu. Both offer the picky superstar Khan a chance to do something he hasn't done before. A South Indian remake with parts that he hasn't tried before.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Says a source, "While Murugadoss' film casts SRK as a social crusader, Menon's film casts him as a cop, a role he has played just once in Shashilal Nair's One 2 Ka 4 and that too a plain-clothed cop. SRK has never got a chance to get into khaki uniform. This, Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu will let him do."&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Indeed, Gautham Menon informs that Shahrukh is the only choice for the Hindi remake of Vettaiyaadi Vilaiyaadi. Contrary to reports, Salman Khan is not up for consideration for the Hindi adaptation of the Gautham Menon's 2006 Tamil hit Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu. It's Shahrukh Khan all the way. Apparently, the mighty Kamal Haasan who played the role of the cop on the lookout for a serial killer in Tamil original, has expressed a keen interest in Shahrukh playing the role in the film's Hindi version.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Says a source close to the project, "Kamalji is extremely fond of Shah Rukh. They go back a long way to the time when 12 years ago Shah Rukh agreed to do Kamalji's Hey Ram free of cost. When director Gautham Menon who understandably respects Kamalji's opinion asked the thespian who should play his role in the Hindi remake, Kamalji promptly gave Shahrukh's name."&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;So Shahrukh it is. Menon confirms this. Says the softspoken director, "I don't know where these reports of Salman Khan being an option for Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu are coming from. It's Shahrukh Khan who's the first and only choice. Kamalji played the part in the Tamil original. So Shahrukh seems the right candidate for the part."&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Kamal Haasan says, "Yes someone like Shahrukh would be right for the Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu remake."&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Interestingly, Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu would explore the same dark noire cop-killer space as Aamir Khan's Talaash.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;A source close to the project tells us that the only reason Shahrukh has not given a final nod to Gautham Menon's remake is because he wants to see how Talaash is received by the audience.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;FEFSI vs TFPC&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The Tamil Film Producers Council (TFPC) called for an urgent meeting to discuss about the recent resolution passed by the South Indian Film Employees Union recently. The South Indian Film Employees Union recently announced new wage structure without the consent of the Producers Council. Following this the producers' council expressed its shock over the announcement of minimum wage and termed it as "unilateral decision." The council also decided to suspend all shooting operations on Monday (Jan 23).&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Now the Producers Council has decided to employ anyone of their choice to work for a film. They also added that a new technician association will be created for such employees. According to sources the decision of  Producers Council has irked FEFSI and they are expected to announce their next step soon.&lt;/div&gt;</description><pubDate>Wed, 25 Jan 2012 10:15:18 GMT + 5:30</pubDate><largeimage>http://www.galatta.com/control/admin/image/1242012101401PMMisc2.jpg</largeimage></item><item><title>

In a statement, the producers' council expressed its shock over the announced a minimum wage by FEFSI and termed it as "unilateral decision." Following this the council decided to suspend all shooting operations today (Jan 23). "The wage scale has not been jointly decided by TFPC and FEFSI. The decision to suspend all shooting operations will help members to participate in the general council on January 23," the press release stated.&lt;/div&gt;</description><pubDate>Tue, 24 Jan 2012 12:10:39 GMT + 5:30</pubDate><largeimage>http://www.galatta.com/control/admin/image/1232012104156PMMisc2.jpg</largeimage></item><item><title>

&lt;div&gt;No item number for Richa!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Recently a section of the media speculated that pretty lass Richa Gangopadhyay, who became an overnight sensation in Telugu and Tamil, will do an item number in Prabhu Deva's Rowdy Rathore, Hindi remake of Vikramarkudu (which was also remade in Tamil as Siruthai). But the Mayakkam Enna actress has denied such reports and clarified that she has never met Prabhu Deva till date. She also revealed that she is currently busy with the Bengali remake of Vikramarkudu in which she is paired opposite Prosenjith.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Richa also said that at point of her career she will rather do roles that are balance with galmour instead of an item number.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;In fact a smart move, isn't it?&lt;/div&gt;
