Ravichandran Mallikarjuna!

Mahesh loses his Kool!

Not everything is going cool with Ganesh’s home production, Kool.

Thamassu Gets into Censor Problems

Tamassu is threatening to hit the screens for a long time now but this Shivarajkumar starrer is getting delayed for one reason or the other. Now, the censor board, which has this uncanny knack of crossing swords with Shivrajkumar films every now and then, has opened up another Pandora’s box.
Apparently, the censor board [...]

Shivamani Finds a New Producer

Well, the Josh between director Shivamani and producer S. V Babu, which was all too evident when Josh giggled its way to the box office is not to be seen anymore. Apparently, the two had fallout on various issues and Shivamani had to find a new producer for his upcoming film, Gokak.
