Vijay starrer Kuruvi, the most awaited movie of the year, is to hit the theaters on May 1st. The promo works for the movie has been started already and the trailer too has been released in televisions. Trisha plays the lead lady role and Vivek takes care of comedy department in the movie. It is to mention that the vijay’s previous film ATM(Azhagiya Tamil Magan) failed to satisfy his fans. Hopefully, this movie is directed by Dharani and produced by Udayanidhi, son of state Home Minister, M. K. Stalin(??.?. ???????).

From the very beginning, the Kuruvi team was maintaining the complete silent over the movie. The movie launch function went very calmly, not even press was engaged to the function. Finally, today the movie posters are out in Tamil and English dailies. Really, it is a great treat to the much awaited Vijay fans.
Today evening I was watching television and all on sudden I saw a advertisement reporting that Hathway Set top box is free of cost with no hidden cost. Previously Hathway set top boxes was priced at Rs. 250 for viewers residing in own houses and Rs. 500 for viewers in rent houses. But, it seems like that now they have slashed those rates and it is free of cost. It is to be noted that still SCV ( Sumangali Cable Vision) Set top box is not free of cost, they advertise so but charges heavily. It is a good decision to go ahead with Hathway.
Sun Network launched Sun Direct, DTH service, few months ago which resulted in agitation from local cable operators from all over Tamil Nadu. Doing with this matter, Tamil Nadu Government promised to launch Arasu Cable vision. Government officials reported that cable connections all over tamil nadu will be undertaken by government itself by acting as a MSO(Multi system operator). But now Central government delays to take give a license to ACV, making it to act as a MSO and so ACV has already post-ponded for another three months. In the mean time, it is said that if ACV fails to get the status as MSO then the government will support Hathway by giving the tender to them, allowing to continue their service all over Chennai. In present, Hathway has only 10% of the chennai cable tv customers while remaining 90% of the traffic is controlled by Sun network owned SCV(Sumangali Cable Vision).
Offer[Fraud] Game :
Few days back SCV started to distribute their STBs(Set top box) at a price of Rs. 500 + Rs. 400 for smart card. In the mean time, Hathway started to distribute their STB at a free of cost including smart card and charging Rs. 100 + Rs. 5 per pay channels as a monthly charges. In reply to this now SCV also started to distribute the STBs for free of cost. Fraud game starts now, SCV ads are not clear to the customers like Hathway ad. Customers rushed to the local cable operators and realized later that SCV STBs is not free of cost that they are demanding Rs. 400 as a deposit amount, which is refundable(warning : Don’t get scammed!!!). This game was started in the middle of the last year between DMK and Maran brothers, and it continues still in various directions in various means. Anyhow, I hereby request the people of Tamil Nadu to be very careful regarding these cable issue, don’t be in hurry while getting STBs. If your area doesn’t have an Hathway distribution, don’t get disappointed, sources say that they are expanding they’re network, Hathway might reach your area anytime. Most of the cable operators are ready to switch to Hathway from SCV(SCAM Cable Vision). In present Hathway is available to areas like Velachery, K.K.Nagar, etc., and the official sources from Hathway said that it would reach Kodambakkam, Vadapalani, Saligramam and Virugambakkam within a month of time. In the mean time Tata SKY, dth service provider, has slashed their rates pricing at Rs. 2500 including installation charges. I’m repeating, don’t be in hurry while selecting between the service.

A biography of Tamil superstar Rajnikanth, penned by noted author Gayathri, was released here on Thursday.
Veteran journalist Cho S Ramaswamy handed over the first copy of the book to the superstar’s daughter Soundarya Rajnikanth.
Lauding Rajnikanth for his phenomenal success as an actor, Cho said Rajnikanth was a believer in spiritualism but he is not a spiritualist, an observer of politics but not a politician and an actor but not a showman.These qualities made him a great personality,” he added.
If Rajnikanth decided to enter politics, as per wishes of the people of Tamil Nadu, he would provide an honest government in the state and would develop it as one of the finest states in the country, Cho said.
Former Director of CBI D Karthikeyan said Rajnikant was a pleasant man to move with and a man of humility.
Soundarya Rajnikanth said she was “proud to be the daughter of a great man”.
Gayathri said Rajnikanth had narrated events of his life with great patience for the biography. “Youth have a lot to learn from him”.
The 59-year-old actor entered the film world in 1975. His ‘Sivaji the Boss’ was a roaring success in 2007.
