Director Manmohan's bilingual Telugu-Tamil cop movie Kutrappirivu (Police Police in Telugu), being simultaneously made with Srikanth (Sriram in Telugu) and Prithviraj in the lead roles, will grace screens soon. The movie will also feature Kamalini Mukherjee (of Vettaiyadu Vilayadu fame) and Sanjana, who made her debut in Kollywood with Kokki. The audio of Kuttrapirivu was launched recently by director Venkat Prabhu and actor Simbu, while music director Yuvanshankar Raja received the first copy of the audio. Produced by Chandu under the banner of Pinnacle Pictures Pvt. Ltd., Kutrappirivu revolves around two young honest police officers: S.P. Ranadhir and D.S.P. Ravikanth. Both crave for peace in society, but choose different paths to achieve their common goal. The services of these two Tamil Nadu cops are requested by a neighbouring state, which is reeling under the problems caused by naxals. How the cops resolve the issue forms the crux of the story. Also in the cast are Brahmaji, Vikram, Dhandapani, Ahuti Prasad, Prasadbabu, Amit, Giri and others. Editing is by Srikara Prasad, music is by Viswa and Sai Karthik. The film was extensively shot at Warangal, Hyderabad and Puducherry. The Chennai distribution rights of Kuttrapirivuhave been bought by Sun TV recently. Sources say that the film will be released both in Tamil and Telugu simultaneously.

Priyanandan's controversial Malayalam film 'Sufi Paranja Katha' is all set to release Friday after getting a green signal from a court.

Prakash Bare, the lead actor and co-producer of the film, told reporters Thursday that the Kerala High Court had given the film a clean chit.

'There is nothing that hurts the sentiments of either the Muslim or Hindu community at all. In fact, the film is more relevant in today's world and it shows that communities can co-exist as in yesteryears,' said Bare.

'Sufi Paranja Katha' is a film set in the middle of the 19th century. It tells the tale of the marriage of Karthi, played by Bollywood actress Sharbani Mukherjee, to a wandering Muslim trader, played by Bare.

The film is an adaptation of banker-turned-writer K.P. Ramanunni's award-winning novel which he wrote about 18 years ago.

'The response to the film was tremendous when it was screened at the International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK) 2009. The dialogues of the film, which clearly show that religions can co-exist, were received with huge applause at the IFFK,' said Ramanunni.

Co-producer Thampi Antony, who has played a crucial role in the film, said: 'The moment people heard the film was directed by Priyanandanan, they asked if it was an art film. Many who saw it later said it was a people's film which should be seen by all.'

Sharbani says she didn't know a word of Malayalam when the producers approached her.

'The first thing I did was to read the English novel on which the film is based and once I did that I instantly felt that I should do it. I came with an open mind with no pre-conceived notions,' she said.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi Saturday said people should 'forget and forgive' Malayalam actor Jayaram's alleged derogatory remarks about Tamil women.

In a statement issued here, Karunanidhi said: 'If Jayaram has spoken in a derogatory manner about Tamil women, then it is condemnable. Since he had sought an open and unconditional apology, one can leave this issue, following the principle of Anna (DMK founder C.N. Annadurai) and forget and forgive.'

The actor, who has acted in scores of Malayalam and Tamil films, lives here with his former actor-wife Parvati.

On Friday, Jayaram's house was attacked by a group of people belonging to Naam Thamizhar outfit for his alleged derogatory comments about Tamil women in an interview to a Malayalam channel.

Karunanidhi, in his statement, warned that police will not be mute spectators if people take law into their own hands.

At the time of attack, the actor's wife, mother, daughter and domestic helps were in the house. They had to lock themselves in a room to escape the mob's fury.

Twelve people have been arrested for the attack.

Jayaram, who returned to the city Saturday from a shooting schedule, again apologised for his comments which, he said, were made unintentionally.
