Hollywood beauty Megan Fox is all set to star in director Michael Bay's new film 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle'.
	The 26-year-old actress, who gave birth to a baby boy last year with husband Brian Austin Green, famously fell out with Bay during the filming of the 'Transformers' franchise, which did not see Fox appearing in the third instalment, reported Daily Mirror.
	"TMNT: we are bringing Megan Fox back into the family!," Bay posted on twitter.
	'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles', was originally a cartoon in the eighties about ninja turtles saving the earth and it had a very catchy theme tune.
	"He's like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation. He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he's a nightmare to work for, but when you get him away from set, and he's not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he's so awkward, so hopelessly awkward...," Fox had said about Bay in one interview.

A small scene from the 1982 Oscar-winning biopic 'Gandhi' saw a relatively unknown, young actor bully Mahatma Gandhi on screen.
	The actor, who played the street bully, was none other than Daniel Day-Lewis, the fruntrunner for the best actor trophy at the Oscars tonight for his powerful portrayal of the 16th US president Abraham Lincoln.
	And, though M K Gandhi was born only four years after the assassination of Lincoln, the two giants from history, it appears, did meet thanks to the magic of cinema.
	In that scene from Richard Attenborough's classic, set in the streets of South Africa, a young, handsome-looking street ruffian named 'Colin', played by a 20-something Day-Lewis, bullies an equally young barrister Gandhi.
	It was the only second film of Day-Lewis, now 55.
	While Kingsley braved the 'bully' and went on to lift the Academy Award for the best actor that year, Day-Lewis' moment of reckoning came seven years later with 'My Left Foot', where his moving portrayal of cerebral ...

"Celluloid", a film by Kamal which bagged seven Kerala state film awards including for best film, is a belated tribute by a film-maker to J C Daniel.
	Prithviraj won the best actor award for his portrayal of Daniel, who had to struggle a lot to produce and exhibit the first film made in Malayalam- Vigathakumaran (The lost child), in the biopic.
