`Kolaveri Di` is absolute nonsense, says Dhanush

Zeenews Bureau

Mumbai: Tamil legendary actor Rajinikanth’s son-in-law Dhanush is certainly basking on the success of his chartbuster `Kolaveri Di` as it crosses over 8 mn mark on Facebook as one of the most shared songs on the social networking site.

However, Dhanush admits that the lyrics of the song has no meaning and is completely non-sense.

Talking to a daily, the elated national award winning actor said, “It feels nice when people are open with their praise for your work. I honestly didn`t think the song would be such a craze. This has made me realize that people universally want only simple lyrics and simpler tune from filmmakers.”

He believes that simple lyrics are what most people are looking for.

“My poor broken English lyrics, written in a silly tone, and borderline singing has proved to be advantageous for the success of this song.”

“I agree the lyrics is absolute nonsense and is written in Tanglish. That`s probably why people everywhere relate to it,” Dhanush added.

Dhanush is happy about the fact that his song is a roaring success across India and has been liked by stalwarts Amitabh Bachchan and his father-in-law Rajini as well.

“It was nice of Amitabh Bachchan to listen to our song and congratulate us for it. My father-in-law, Rajinikanth, is equally thrilled, and he is proud his daughter Aishwaryaa has come out of his shadow to make a name for herself,” said the actor.

And for those who think other songs in the film `3` are similar to `Kolaveri Di`, Dhanush said, “The other songs in the film are both poetic and simple. I understand that at times, lyrics should make sense.”

Ellen Degeneres to buy Brad Pitt`s home

Los Angeles: Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and partner Portia de Rossi are set to buy Brad Pitt`s Malibu home after falling in love with the USD 14 million property, which overlooks the Pacific Ocean.

The couple have just put their USD 49 million Beverly Hills compound on the market as they want to buy something smaller, reported People magazine.

The property consists of two separate houses, a pool, a tennis court and expansive lush gardens. The sprawling 4,100 square foot estate also has private beach access and is set back off the Pacific Coast Highway by a long private driveway.

The main house has four bedrooms and four baths, a large chefs kitchen with stainless steel appliances, bamboo floors, three fire places and a top of the range security system.

Pitt, who also has homes in Los Angeles, New Orleans, France and Italy with partner Angelina Jolie - put the house on the market earlier this year and at one point Reese Witherspoon was keen on purchasing it.

After ‘Shanghai’, Dibakar Banerjee heads to ‘Kolkata’

Dibakar Banerjee’s films have had a very distinct Delhi background, but his next is a tribute to his hometown Kolkata

It seems that Dibakar Banerjee is in some kinda hurry. His forthcoming film Shanghai is yet to hit theatres and he has already chalked out plans for his next venture. We heard that Banerjee has got Abhay Deol and Neetu Chandra, actors from his film Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!, on board for the new detective thriller. Banerjee, who has always described himself as a Bengali-Punjabi from Delhi, has titled the film Kolkata to pay homage to his hometown. Apparently this is the second film in the director’s ‘Phantom-city’ series. But we wonder why he has no plans of shooting the film in Kolkata. Maybe, just like the sequences in Shanghai were not shot in the Chinese capital, the same will apply for Kolkata. As Shanghai is in post-production, Banerjee has started writing the screenplay of his new flick with his partner-in-crime, Urmi Juvekar (co-writer, Shanghai). Our birdie tells us that the dishy Abhay Deol will be seen in the role of a suave detective working on a rather challenging case. We read that Banerjee wishes to reinvent the detective thriller genre in Bollywood. Wethinks this is very exciting and with Deol Jr on board, the team will deliver a good film for sure! What do you think?
