Southern actor R. Madhavan looks up to actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan as his deity, and when he met him recently at an vijay award ceremony, he felt like a teenager again.
Had a great time at the Vijay Awards. Met my god Kamal sir again after a while. (I) was a gaping teenager all over again,” tweeted Madhavan.
Madhavan and Kamalhassan bonded well at the 7th edition of Vijay Awards Saturday, which the former hosted. The two had worked together in Tamil films “Anbe Sivam” and “Manmathan Ambu”.
The award ceremony was also graced by Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, with whom also Madhavan shared great time.
“I really wish I had half their (Kamal and SRK) passion and dedication,” he later posted.

A moderate earthquake hit Afghanistan on Wednesday and was felt as far away as New Delhi, the latest in a string of tremors to shake Asia in the past week.
The 5.7 magnitude quake was 40 miles deep with an epicentre 16 miles northwest of Jalalabad, Afghanistan, the US Geological Survey said on its website.
There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties.
Wednesday’s tremor was also felt in Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad.
Buildings swayed in New Delhi and people ran into the street in Kashmir, where an earthquake killed about 75,000 people in 2005, most on the Pakistan side.
Tremors shook Srinagar and adjoining areas but there was no report of any casualty, officials said.
The tremors were felt around 3pm, prompting people to rush outside buildings for safety.
However, there was no immediate report of any casualty or damage reported from anywhere, police said.
“We are collecting the details of the earthquake,” a spokesman of the Met office said.
Afghanistan is frequently hit by earthquakes, especially in the Hindu Kush mountain range, which lies near the juncture of the Eurasian and Indian tectonic plates.
In June 2012, two quakes in the area triggered landslides that killed at least 75 villagers.
Wednesday’s tremors came a week after a powerful 7.8-magnitude earthquake centred in Iran affected thousands of people in remote southeastern Pakistan and killed 41 people.
Pakistan was hit by a 7.6-magnitude earthquake on October 8, 2005, that killed more than 73,000 people and left about 3.5 million homeless, mainly in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir and parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Taking advantage of its excellent connectivity across Tamil Nadu, the state-owned State Express Transport Corporation has begun a courier service, in a move to diversify its business and earn more revenue. In a public-private partnership venture, SETC has launched the low-cost ‘7c’ courier service, which will cater to 10 city corporations in the state, apart from Bengaluru in Karnataka.
The courier charges are as low as Rs 7 for a 250 gm package for any distance, and the 1,256 buses of SETC’s fleet will be used for the service.
SETC floated a tender last year and finalized the bidder. It agreed to share its fleet for the logistics operation under a PPP model, said an SETC top official in Chennai. Chennai-based V-Speeds Logistics won the bid and rolled out an economically viable logistics option, he added.
Speaking to Express, R Ramesh, Project Manager of 7c said, The service is aimed at utilizing the SETC fleet in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Our motto is ‘same day delivery. Ramesh said the courier booking centers are conveniently located near SETC depots across the state.
SETC was the obvious choice when it came to offering an economically viable courier service across the state said Ramesh, adding that 7c delivers consignments of up to 25 kg.
The waybills for the package are bar-coded and delivery is confirmed via SMS or e-mail, minimizing possibility of loss of consignments. SETC officials said they have ensured that there is no discomfort to passengers or the crew due to courier service, as all packages are loaded on buses hours before passengers embark and unloaded only after they disembark.

Very Close buddies Kesavan (Vimal) and Murugan (Sivakarthikeyan) are carefree youngsters who do just nothing. They roam and enjoy life without any purpose. Their sole hobby is to attract girls. More often than not they fail in their attempts and end up drinking and lamenting. Finally they get girlfriends. Mitra (Bindu Madhavi) and Pappa (Regina Cassandra) fall in love with Kesavan and Murugan respectively.
Pandiraj has taken up a realistic theme and presented it with his comedy flair. The story is simple. The narrative is straight forward. The fun ride in their lives has been portrayed well. The love angle is interesting and the political drama is enjoyable. On the flipside the script becomes predictable after a point. Showing the youngsters who roam around and drink has become a stereotype in present day films and disappointingly Pandiraj also uses the same stereotype. Portraying the female characters as strong characters deserves appreciation.
Vimal and Sivakarthikeyan fit to the roles perfectly. The two show their flair for comedy. Karthikeyan has rendered a measured performance while Vimal has once again proves his worth in such role. Together, Vimal, Siva and Parotta Suri bring the house down in the comical scenes. Bindu Madhavi and Regina look fresh and add flavor to the movie with their romantic act. The music by Yuvan Shankar Raja is nothing special but he has managed to add value to the movie with his tunes and back ground score.
