Namitha in Kochi for Black Stallion Pooja

Namitha the glam girl of Tamil cinema is very popular in Kerala. The actress was in Kochi recently for the pooja of her debut film in Malayalam ttled Black Stallion.

We caught up with the actress who was busy signing autographs and posing for pictures with her fans.

Is this your first visit to Kerala ?

No.. I have been here before. I have come to Athirapally waterfalls for song picturisation and I adore the greenery and climate here. No doubt that they call it God’s Own Country

Have you any plans to buy a house here near the backwaters ?

I would love to. (Smiles) Let me see how my film does in Kerala and then probably, then I’ll think of settling down here.

Are you happy with the image of a glam girl or do you want to try out something new ?

Of course.. I have started thinking about this seriously and already, I sign up films where I have scope to perform. Item numbers or special appearances are a strict No.

But in your debut film Black Stallion you play a bar dancer ?

Yes my role demands glamour but there is scope for performance. I read the full script and then signed on the dotted line.
But why did it take you so much time to sign a Malayalam film ?

I had offers from Mammootty sir sometime back but due to dates problem, I missed that film. Don’t worry, I am open to doing more films here.

Have you met Mammootty and Mohanlal, the living legends of Malayalam cinema ?

I have not met Mammootty sir though I have seen a few of his films. I met Mohanlal sir at an airport recently.
Do you understand Malayalam ?

I can’t figure out a word. But I will try to learn it.

You have 2500 dedicated fan clubs in Tamilnadu ?

Please comment? Yes A guy called Selvam looks after my fan clubs and they are doing quite a few good works for the poor and needy. I believe that my fans have built temples for me in Coimbatore and Madurai.

Your new projects ?

Indravizha, Jaganmohini are complete. Telugu Billa is almost ready 1977 has just released.
Your beauty mantra ?

Thanks to my parents. But I take care of my skin by using only herbal products. Drink lots of water and exercise.

Happy Onam to All My Viewer`s

May the festival of Onam fill your Life with Happiness & Joy

Onam is the biggest and the most important festival of the state of Kerala. It is a harvest festival and is celebrated with joy and enthusiasm all over the state by people of all communities. According to a popular legend,the festival is celebrated to welcome King Mahabali, whose spirit is said to visit Kerala at the time of Onam. 

Onam is celebrated in the beginning of the month of Chingam,the first month of Malayalam Calendar (Kollavarsham). This corresponds with the month of August-September according to Gregorian Calendar. 

Carnival of Onam lasts from four to ten days. First day, and tenth day, are most important of all. Popularity and presentation of rich culture of the state during the carnival made Onam the National Festival of Kerala in 1961. Elaborate feasts, folk songs, elegant dances, energetic games, elephants, boats and flowers all are a part of the dynamic festival called Onam.

Government of India has taken due notice of this vibrant and colorful festival. It promotes Onam internationally in a big way and celebrates 'Tourist Week' for Kerala during Onam celebrations. Thousands of domestic and foreign tourists visit Kerala to be a part of Onam.
