A BollywoodLife reader saw Oprah’s The Next Chapter episode and pinged us

So Aaradhya Bachchan aka Beti B did not make an appearance on Oprah Winfrey’s new show, The Next Chapter, after all. There was a huge buzz that Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan’s darling daughter will say her first hi to the world on the world’s most celebrated talk show. But alas! It didn’t happen.

A BollywoodLife reader happened to catch the show in the United States and immediately informed us (we had asked for some dope from our US readers). Said Erin at 1.23pm IST, “The show aired hours ago, Aishwarya and Abhishek were barely featured, no mention of the baby’s name and no shot of the baby.”

While we are sad that Aaradhya was not even mentioned, forget shown, what makes us sadder is Erin’s observation that Aishwarya and Abhishek were “barely featured”. As if to compensate, Oprah tweeted a picture of her India visit, with Abhishek and her helping Aishwarya step down, and Amitabh Bachchan in the background. Left us highly unsatisfied we must say…. About time Beti B’s picture is shared with the world, at least. What do you think?

Meanwhile, we hear that a new girls’ college in Daulatpur, Uttar Pradesh is going to be named after Aishwarya. The Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Girls’ College, as it will be called, will be built by Amitabh Bachchan’s foundation, Sewa Sansthan. The college was delayed for some time and is now being revived – maybe the birth of Aaradhya has made the Bachchan’s speed up the process of doing their bit for the girl child. Now this is something the Bachchan family fans will be truly proud of, won’t they?

Maatran on AUG 15

                    
 
It's official, at last. Director K. V. Anand's “Maatran,” starring Suriya and Kajal Agarwal in the lead, is to hit the screens on August 15. Earlier, there was a lot of speculation about its release and sources in the unit had indicated that the film was likely to release in July.

Now, Eros International, which has bought the Tamil theatrical rights of the film, has announced that it will hit the screens on Independence Day.

Suriya plays two roles in the film which has been shot in various places such as Russia, Croatia, Serbia, Albania and Macedonia.

Maatran story and what the actor says about it?

                                                 

                     Maatran is directed by KV Anand and it will be the fourth movie of the director followed by Kana Kandaen, Ayan & Ko. Maatran will also be the second movie with Surya after Ayan. The movie will be produced by AGS Agoram Entertainment.    

        

                                            The movie poster reveal that the movie will be a action movie and the actor looks very rough in the poster. Surya will be appearing in five different roles in Maatran.

                      Suriya-starrer Maatran is one of the most important films releasing this year in Tamil. The same, directed by KV Anand, is released as Duplicate in Telugu. Kajal Agarwal is paired opposite Suriya, while the music is by Harris Jayraj.

              Speaking at the audio launch of the film, Anand said that the music by Harris has come out really well. He was all praise for the hero. "Working with Suriya, planning for a scene with him is a pleasant experience. You can take him for granted. He is dedicated. As of Kajal, I have never seen a heroine who is very spontaneous, versatile and quick-witted."

                   Kajal termed Duplicate "a truly intelligent film". "It is not just entertainment, but the film makes you think and use your brains. It was a wonderful learning experience working for this film. Suriya is an amazing co-star and a true superstar", she said. She seems to have acted in some daredevil scenes in the movie. It was possible because of Peter Hynes, who could be "trusted completely."

               Surya was of the opinion that Duplicate was not a no-brainer but a roller-coaster ride and offered 200 per cent entertainment. "My association with KV Anand sir dates back to 1997 when he took my first photograph, which was published. He is more like an elder brother to me. It was he who motivated me to be vibrant. It is difficult to imagine a film like this in this canvas and budget. The level of planning that went into the film was great. We took 500 gunny bags from India to Russia. I would say that Anand sir is a mix of all best directors. Duplicate has great entertainment, it is logical and sensible."

                            The actor described Kajal as a down-to-earth actress.

            Peter Hynes said that he had thrilling experience working for the film. He has made many gravity-defying fights for films like Aparichithudu and 7th Sense in the past, but this film was still "tough and challenging."
