  • BBC comes ‘Face to Face’ with Tamil movie star Radhika

    BBC comes ‘Face to Face’ with Tamil movie star Radhika

    This Saturday 15 December at 10 pm BBC World's programme Face to Face will feature Tamil movie star Radhika. The show will be repeated on Sunday at noon. 

    The show is hosted by popular anchor Karan Thapar, and produced in Delhi for BBC World by ITV. The sponsors are Samsung Digital and Castrol GTX Extra. 

    Karan Thapar queries Radhika about her dynamic career in films and how she managed to branch out and connect with television audiences with her lead role in the Tamil television phenomenon Chiththi, which completed its amazing run last month.

    Radhika has acted in nearly 300 South Indian films, and her serial Chiththi drew stupendous ratings on Sun Television. It was produced by her television production company Radaan. The serial ran for three years and she has these comments to make: "I think women liked my role. I basically played more of myself – a no-nonsense, straightforward person. The way the story was woven and told just caught the imagination." 

    She has also starred in a few Hindi films like Naseeb Apna Apna, Kudrat Ka Kanoon and Aaj Ka Arjun. Her family apparently did not have high expectations of her when she was growing up as her focus was not quite there. In the show she also recalls her early experiences in film and the influence her father MR Radha – a very famous Tamil film actor of his time – played in her life. She also delves into her personal life, her failed marriage, her daughter and her recent marriage to actor Sarat Kumar.

  • SABeTV comes face to face with cinema legend Kamal Haasan

    SABeTV comes face to face with cinema legend Kamal Haasan

    Talented actor Kamal Haasan breaks his silence on his latest film Abhay in an interview with Sabe TV on Wednesday. 

    The interview, that airs at 10.30 pm on Diwali, has Haasan talking about his life and experiences during the making of Abhay. The prodigiously talented actor, who has earlier played a dwarf, an old lady and a geriatric freedom fighter in various films, portrays the dual roles of twins in Abhay.

    Major Vijay is a commando who kills in the line of duty, while his twin Abhay is psychotic who kills because he gets a kick out of it. The flick is a concoction of adventure, romance and action. Over the course of his career, Haasan has blazed a trail that few can emulate. His cross dressing prtrayal in Chachi 420 kept audiences in splits. Abhay has already generated huge interest in the film industry.

    Some of Kamal Haasan's notable films include Pushpak, a silent comedy and Appu Raja, where he played a dwarf. In the course of the interview entitled Padmashree Kamal Haasan, the actor calls himself a student of cinema and concerns himself with all three aspects of film: writing, acting and directing. He does not dwell too much on the critical acclaim showered on him as also on the awards he has won, which include three National Awards. 

    On SABe, the actor also talks about his family, where it seems acting runs in the blood.
