Recently Vijay TV and Sun TV had a battle to get the satellite rights of Nanban starring Vijay, Ileana, Jeeva, Srikanth, Sathyan, Sathyaraj which is directed by S Shankar.
Finally it is Vijay TV who won the battle and took home the satellite rights of Vijay’s Nanban for a record price.
But, Sources say that this time Sun TV is not going to make any compensation to bag the rights of Thupakki, which has Vijay and Kajal Agarwal in the lead and directed by AR Murugadoss.

Sun TV ready to pay 13.75Cr for Thuppakki ( Sun TV paid 6 Cr for BIla 2 ) ...
There has been tough competition between Vijay TV and Sun TV to bag the satellite rights of the movie.
It is to be remembered that both the TVs had a stiff bidding war to get the satellite rights of "Nanban" and in the end it was vijay TV which emerged as the winner..
The OHEA Smart Bed can make itself automatically in 50 seconds
Fully Automated Robotic Turnkey Production Cells
Unless you’re an obsessive “morning” person, making the bed first thing after waking ranks right up there with banging your knee on the night stand. Understanding that most people would just like to turn around and see the bed magically made, Spanish furniture company OHEA is offering a self-making “smart bed” that tidies the sheet and pillows the moment you stand up.
The bed of the future has been the staple of popular science magazines and feature writers for decades. There’s been everything predicted and made, from beds with built-in radios and televisions, self-heating or cooled mattresses, to ones that roll out onto the porch for fresh-air sleeping. There have even been ones that promised to wash their own sheets. The OHEA Smart Bed is a bit more modest, in that it sticks to just making itself.
The Smart Bed is relatively simple in concept. It’s based on the premise that making the bed on a daily basis is basically an exercise in sheet straightening. If the bed is simplified and designed with this in mind, it’s not that difficult to get it to make itself. The key to this is the bed’s specially-made pillows and sheet. The pillows are attached by cords to a mechanism in the headboard, while the sheet is secured to the foot of the bed with Velcro and has cords sewn into its lateral sides. A bed with only a sheet may seem a bit chilly to most people, but it’s designed more along the lines of a duvet cover, so bedding can be inserted in cold weather.
The bed-making process starts with the Smart Bed's weight sensor. When the bed is occupied, it’s switched off, but after the sleeper rises, the bed waits three seconds and activates. The mechanism in the headboard pulls the pillows straight and raises them. Meanwhile, a pair of lids running down the sides of the mattress open and a pair of robotic arms deploy. These hook the cords in the sheet at the foot of the bed and then the arms run to the head of the bed. As they do so, the sheet is straightened and pulled up. After this, the pillows are dropped, the arms retract and the lids close, leaving behind a neatly-made bed. The whole operation takes about 50 seconds, and can be seen in the video at the bottom of the page.
If you’re someone whose dog or cat jumps on the bed to claim the warm spot as soon as you get up, you don’t need to worry about it getting caught in the mechanism. OHEA says that the weight sensor acts as a safety cut-out, stopping the bed-making if anyone sits on it. How small a cat this will work on is unclear. Also, the bed can be set to only operate on manual, in which case it’s activated by a simple push of a button.
The OHEA Smart Bed is not currently for sale, but the company is taking queries at its website. Until then, corner tucking will need to be done the old-fashioned way ... or you could always get yourself a Zip Bed.

Still from the movie "Urumi". Photo: Special Arrangement
From the very first scene of this film to the last, director-cum-cinematographer Santosh Sivan proves to be on top of this technical masterpiece.
Plot
“Urumi” takes you through the journey and the story of the person who plots to kill Vasco da Gama, the famous Portuguese sailor. Kelu Nayanar (Prithviraj) plans an uprising by taking revenge for the blood of his father Chirakkal Kothuval (Arya) who is killed in an infamous massacre by the Vasco da Gama-led Portuguese army.
This magnum opus gives you the feel of a revolution with a very thoughtfully written screenplay peppered with good comic timing. The songs, waterfall sequences and the war scenes evoke a feel of realism due to its stunning visuals and brilliant re-recording.
Performances
Prithiviraj as Chirakkal Kelu Nayanar does not do justice to the role with his acting but his convincing action sequences and his muscular physique compensate for it.
It is Prabhudeva as Vavvali who excels with his standout comic repartee. Genelia as the fierce spirited Arackal Ayesha does a fantastic job in the swordfights.
Nithya Menon as Chirakkal Bala puts up a very neat and a fine performance and her scenes with Vavvali are enjoyable. Arya's performance as both the story-teller Thangachan and Kothuval is also noteworthy as his rebellious spirit is brought out very well.
Certain portions in the film become very melodramatic to suit the Indian audiences thereby derailing the pace. The brilliantly choreographed action sequences seem to be a tad too loud for the ears.
Bottomline: This movie is an engaging epic with mind-blowing visuals and brilliant performances.
Viswaroopam, which is touted to be Kamal Haasan’s biggest film till date, will have its promo released on May 1st. The 30 seconds promo will be screened in all the theaters and also can be found in the internet after its release. Kamal Haasan will be playing the role of an Army General in the film.
The film also stars Pooja Kumar, Rahul Bose, Andrea Jeremiah, Jaideep Ahlawat and Zarina Wahab. Kamal Haasan has directed and produced the film, and Shankar-Eshaan-Loy has composed tunes for this mush awaited flick.
