Shriya Saran disappointed with the failure of Mission Istanbul »
Actress Shriya Saran’s Mission Istanbul has bombed at the box office, but she is happy with the way her career is shaping up.
From music videos to Tollywood to the Hindi film industry and now Hollywood, she has been climbing the ladder of success.
Back in the city for the shooting of a Tamil film Kandaswami, Shriya says, “Hyderabad is like home to me and it feels great to be here. I was at the Poison launch party and met up with all my old friends after such a long time.”
Disappointed with the failure of Mission Istanbul?
“When a film doesn’t do well, it is natural that you will feel bad. But the important thing is I have given it my 100 per cent and haveworked very hard for the film,” she says.
When asked what she felt went wrong with the film, she replied, “It’s not right for me to comment on this. A film is a by-product of the energies and efforts of a lot of people. On hindsight, you can point out many mistakes, but you can never be sure about the fate of a movie from before it releases.”
Talking about her recent Tamil film, Shriya says that though it is a commercial movie, it has a poignant social message. “The film is about the economic disparity in the country — how the rich are getting richer while the poor are becoming poorer. Sushi Ganeshan is the director while Vikram is my co-actor. I had a good time doing the film. It’s a commercial film but at the same time deals with a topic that is so true of India.”

The Two Legendary Bollywood Actors Traveled On Local Trains To Promote Their Films
What’s common to Shahid kapoor Naseerudin Shah and Anupam Kher? Well, besides being great actors, they also have one more common element of commonality, which is all three of them have traveled by local trains.
Shahid travelled by a local train to promote his film Jab We Met. And the resultant was that the film ‘Met’ with unprecedented B-O collections and has also been touted to be Kareena’s best film till date! After Shahid, it’s the turn of Anupam Kher and Naseerudin Shah, the two legendary actors of tinsel town to be doing the same, in order to promote their film together A Wednesday, whose theme is terrorism and train blasts.
The twosome decided to meet at a town side restaurant. While Anupam Kher reached on time, Naseerudin Shah got delayed due to the infamous traffic. Not the one to waste time, Anupam Kher quickly ‘feasted’ himself with a plate of pav bhaji at ‘Satkar Restaurant’, much to the surprise and shock of the on lookers there! And the moment when he met with Naseerudin, they immediately went to Churchgate station and boarded the first class compartment of a 2:36 pm Borivali local. And what followed next was sheer time of nostalgia! While Naseerudin reminisced his days when he used to travel without ticket from Bandra to Mumbai Central and back for almost 6 months and with all due respect to the Railway Authority also said that they now can not do any thing to him. How can Anupam Kher be far behind? He too shared his experience stating that once as he was crossing the railway tracks, a man offered him his hand to pull him up on the platform and then refused to leave his hand until he took him to the police station. It was only then he realized that the person to give him his hand was no other than a Police Inspector!
The two actors later got down at Ville Parle station and were seen requesting passengers to not to push each other. Point taken, Mr. Kher and Mr. Shah!

Story
Eenadu talks about terrorism from a new angle. The antagonist in it doesn’t come with a stereotyped religious label. In fact, he has no label at all. He is a ‘common man’ who vents out his angst by taking on the system and trying to bring it down to its knees. Only an obdurate Police Commissioner can foil his mission.
Venkatesh plays that top cop. On one fateful day he receives a call from a man who claims to have planted bombs in different parts of the city, set to go off at half-past six in the evening. The caller (Kamal Hasan) describes self as a ‘common man’ and demands the release of four terrorists if the impending calamity has to be averted.
Prakash Rathod is someone who is not ready to give in so easily to the demands of a fanatic and dispatches a team of his best men to track down the man. The caller is always a step a head and the Commissioner realizes that he cannot put the lives of so many people in jeopardy. He handpicks two of his best men, to hand over the four terrorists as demanded. The “Caller” (Kamal) on the other hand is keeping track of the police activities using a news reporter whom he sends after the police.
The four terrorists are released from jail and taken to the Begumpet airport as instructed by Kamal. What happens next? watch on big screen.
Performances-
Kamal Hasan played a common man role-delivered descent performance. But don’t compare with Nasheerdhin Sha of Hindi film A Wednesday. Both the actors have their own style. Kamal’s role is very interesting for those who have not watched Hindi version of the film.
Venkatesh has given one of the best performances in his carrier as police commissioner. Very good performance from Venkatesh. Venkatesh has played very short role, he shares screen with Kamal in a couple scenes.
Director Chakri Tholeti has made his debut with different film that has the message to the entire country and he tried to follow the original film (A Wednesday). Shruthi Kamal Hasan’s music is impressive. The film is shot on Red Camera and its effect is visible as the visuals are really rich and bright
Finally- as the film is multi starrer (Kamal and Venky), it may full crowds to the theatre , but how far today’s audiences will like to see a message oriented serious films? wait and see for the result at the box office
