തമിള്* നാട്ടിലെ പോലെ എവിടെയും സിനിമ പേരിന്റെ നിയമം വരണം

Whatever be it, I personally liked Seniors better.... It has some logic, some sensibility, some entertainment and good overall feel.... I didn't first go to theatres for this movie, thinking it would be much worser than that idiotic Pokkiriraja..... But when I saw later, I felt it better....

Ofcourse, Payasams tastes better than Milk, Sugar, Cardamom, rice, jaggery etc.....

May be. In that case who will do the stripper's role? In the posters Remya Nambeesan looks like a slut(as usual). But it seems the kid belongs to Nithya Menon. Btw second half of 'China Town' was also loosely based on Hangover.

I Guess it should be poster designs.... Well, last years mega hit- Chinatown was loosely based on Hangover.... Hangover was highly sensible, whereas Chinatown made everyone go into high weeds..... Utter idiotic.......

KOCHI: Lonely Planet's section on Kerala awaits an urgent update: The option to upgrade one's acting skills and, more to the point, get paid for it. With Malayalam movies increasingly featuring foreigners as part of the plot, mostly as exotic props, white backpackers from Europe, North America and elsewhere can, with a bit of luck, now combine business with pleasure.
According to industry insiders, around 5,000 foreigners are on average picked up by scouts annually to act in films shot in various locales across the state and sometimes even in neighbouring states. Kochi is fast becoming the hub of this 'cinema tourism'.

"Every year an average of 5,000 foreign tourists who come to Kochi are handpicked for acting in films, mostly Malayalam films. There are eight major coordinators who supply foreigners for films. I myself supply around 500 foreigners a year,'' says Anson Assissi, a co-ordinator who provides junior artistes for films.
Any director who needs foreigners to be cast in his or her movie first approaches these co-ordinators. "The director would send us the details, including age of the character along with photographs of lookalikes. We go to homestays in Fort Kochi and Mattanchery and select them. We brief them about the character they have to do. Most of them would be initially dumbstruck. However, there are those who reject such offers as well,'' Anson explains.
Once chosen, as part of their extended holiday the foreigners are taken to locations like Alappuzha, Bakel Fort in Kannur, Thiruvananthapuram and Munnar as well as to various locations in Tamil Nadu like Angalakurichi near Coimbatore and Ootty.
During the filming of Neeko Njancha in Cherai beach recently, 15 foreign tourists got a chance to try out their acting prowess. ''If the locations are around Kochi, then they themselves would take care of the accommodation. In case of distant locations the accommodation will be provided by us,'' says Sandeep Senan, producer of Neeko Njancha.
"As it is quite expensive, we would go for casting foreigners only if the script requires it. Normally they are paid between Rs 2000 to 4000 a day,'' he reveals. Besides the remuneration, these tourists benefit from perks too. In case the tourists have to re-schedule their itinerary, they are provided train or flight tickets to their next destination. Now, that's some holidaying indeed.

Hope the government doesn't come down on these "suppliers" for this illegal activity. I don't think these people coming to India on tourist visa are allowed to engage in gainful employment.

They aren't, and it is cause for deportation. But like any other rule in mera bharat mahan, it is not going to be enforced in letter. Just the police will be a bit richer, that's all
