Amet Asal Eemet Kusal' hits silver screen

May 4, 2012
Mangalore, May 4: Much awaited Tulu movie 'Amet Asal Eemet Kusal, an adaptation of William Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors, hit the silver screen on Friday.

Set in the backdrop of Tulunadu, the movie has been made to suit the local audience.

At the Central Talkies in city, where the movie was released Director Ranjan Raghu Shetty, said: “The film gives prominence to comedy. The entire theme of the Shakespeare's play has been localized. The characterization and the treatment of the story were carefully done to make it more appealing for the audience of Tulunadu."

The film was shot at different locations in Falnir, Dakke, Kaikamba, Kadri Park, Padavu Choutara Mane (a Tuluva ancestral house) in Bikarnakatte and a few places in Mumbai.

In a first in the history of Tulu cinema two lead actors have don dual roles in Amet Asal Eemet Kusal. The Comedy of Errors tells the story of two sets of identical twins who were accidentally separated at birth. Noted Tulu actors Naveen D Padeel and Jyothish Shetty will essay the roles of identical twins.

Ranjan, who had bagged the gold medal in Nokia Mobile Film Making Competition, said that he made the film as he was attracted towards Tulu language and culture.

The star cast includes Bhojraj Vamanjoor, Saikrishna, Sadashiva Ameen, Naveen Shetty, Gopal Salian, Udaykumar Uppinangadi, Bhaskar Adyappadi, Umesh Ameen, Sudheer Kottari, Ranjan Bolar, Akshatha Marla, Sukanya Rai, Saritha Shetty and Shilpa Kotian.

Vijayakumar Kodialbail and M Saikrishna have written the dialogues. While Akash Prajapathi from Mumbai did the music, Tulu poet and actor Shashiraj Rao Kavoor wrote lyrics.

Raghu Shetty had done a course in direction at Subhash Ghai's Whistiling Woods.

Kochi, Apr 18: The Centre on Friday informed the Kerala High Court that there was no immediate plan to bring back the Indian citizens stranded in the Gulf countries due to the novel coronavirus outbreak and that the expatriates had been granted visa extension.

The counsel for the central government made the submission before a division bench comprising justices Rajavijayaraghavan and T R Ravi during the hearing of a plea seeking a direction to bring back Indians stranded in the UAE.

Permission of the Gulf countries was required to send medical teams there to carry out medical examination of the stranded Indians, the counsel said when the court sought to know the Centre's view on Kerala government sending medical teams to the Gulf countries to deal with the issue of COVID-19 disease among Malayalees there.

The court posted the plea for April 21 for consideration after the Central government informed that a similar petition is under consideration of the Supreme Court.

In its plea, Kerala Muslim Cultural Centre (KMCC) in Dubai, the organisation for non-resident Indians from Kerala, sought directions to the Ministries of External Affairs and Civil Aviation to provide exemptions in the international air travel ban to bring back Indians stranded in the UAE.

The petitioners noted that those who return could be kept in quarantine as per the protocol of the World Health Organisation (WHO).

Mangaluru, Feb 17: Kambala superstar Shrinivas Gowda, who is drawing comparisons to ace sprinter Usain Bolt, has reportedly refused to take part in athletics trials with the Sports Authority of India.

28-year-old Gowda, who hails from Moodbidri in Dakshina Kannada, was celebrated as a potential Olympian after a clip of his race went viral, amid claims that he had done 100m in 9.55 seconds, against Bolt's record of 9.58. He has so far won 32 medals in 11 kambala events this season.

Union sports minister Kiren Rijiju and SAI said Gowda would appear for trials at SAI's Bengaluru centre on Monday. The government "will do everything to identify sporting talents", Rijiju had tweeted.

"I will meet the Chief Minister. I am keen on continuing in kambala," Gowda said. Asked about the clamour for a crossover into athletics, he said, "For the time being I have no plans to appear for SAI trials. I am busy with the Kambala season and will consider meeting them following that and after consulting my well-wishers."
