TAMILIANS ARE THE BEST – SHAHRUKH KHAN

Right from the moment, Shahrukh Khan‘s Chennai Express teaser was released, there has been a lot of controversies involved as few groups came up with their complaints that the film has made fun of Tamilians.

Denying such news as baseless rumours, Shahrukh Khan says, ‘Trust me! If I say the truth, people from other states will infuriated.

When it comes to technology, Tamilians are the most talented ones when compared to others in our country.

When we were in NASA for the shooting of Swades, I witnessed something wonderful as 75% of the working population was Tamilians. We had to push a lot in bringing foreigners into the frame. Such is the magnificence of Tamilians’.

TAMANNA FLIES TO SWISS WITH AJITH

Sirutha Siva‘s directorial starring Ajith and Amala Paul in lead roles is fast progressing with the shooting schedules.

Now the team has decided to shoot a couple of songs in the exotic locations of Switzerland. Bothdirector Siva and cinematographer have already taken their tour to European countries to find the best locations and sooner Ajith-Tamanna duo will take their flight.

The film has musical score by Devi Sri Prasad and is touted to be a wholesome family entertainer.

ILAYATHALAPATHY IN HOLLYWOOD FILM?

If everything goes on well as planned, Vijay will make his foray into Hollywood under director P Vasu’s ‘Curry in Love’.

The film is written by Hollywood director-writer Raj Thiruchelvan with Anil Kapoor and his daughter Sonam Kapoor in lead roles. While P Vasu addressed the media channels before a couple of days, he had mentioned that a prominent actor of Indian industry will be playing the lead role as well.

Now it looks like Ilayathalapathy Vijay will be a part of this big project as well. The film is about the nature and how societal development has lead to its destruction and what happens when Nature shows its anger on the world.

SINGAM 2 BLAMES MARIYAAN

It was a confirmed news that Surya starrer Singam-2 will be hitting screens worldwide on July 5 with a special premiere in USA on July 4.

However, there were some rurmours about the film’s release being postponed.

ATMUS Entertainment that is releasing Singam-2 in USA requests everyone not to believe such rumours spread by Mariyaan distributors.

Mariyaan starring Dhanush and Parvathi Menon in lead roles will hit screens on July 21.

SURYA AND KARTHI ACT FOR NOBLE CAUSES

Actor Surya is lately seen in many commercials and not to forget his brother Karthi too. In factSurya acted in a commercial which also had his wife Jyothika in it. While some may comment that they act in an overdose of advertisements, its little known fact that the brothers donate all of their earnings through advertisements to charity.

Surya‘s Agaram foundation has been a catalyst in transforming the lives of so many poor and needy lives, not to leave out the student education programs that it conducts across various parts ofTamil Nadu.

Karthi initiated Makkal nala mandram a while ago to concentrate on a rare type of disease and has been reaching out to them via his fans and like-minded people. So that’s two fromSivakumar‘s family who chip away their ad earnings! Great going brothers!

KAMAL HASSAN AND VIVEK TO PAIR UP FINALLY?

Quite recently it was reported that Kamal Hassan will be directing and acting in a movie underLingusamy‘s Tirupathi Brothers banner.

Sources say that the movie has been titled as “Utthama Villain” as reported. The movie as we hear is supposedly being sketched by Crazy Mohan‘s dialogues so we can make assumptions of a rolling comedy in the making.

For long comedy actor Vivek has never acted alongside Kamal through his two decade stint inKollywood and that should have really been aching.

Now this movie is said to have Vivek in a very important role and that has really upped the actor’s moods. An official word from the camp is yet to be out and the fans are all ears on this subject.

Either way, this will be a special combo delight indeed.

Update:

KAMAL HASSAN’S NEXT FILM – ‘UTHAMA VILLAIN’!

As promised, Ulaga Nayagan will be doing a film for Lingusamy this year, and he is directing the movie himself. Earlier, he had planned to title the film ‘Bitter Chocolate’, but now he has come up with a whacky title, ‘Uthama Villain‘ for the film. We hear that comedian Vivek has been roped in for a crucial role in the film. We believe that the film will be a laughter riot, as it has always been with this unbeatable combination, as Crazy Mohan is penning down the dialogues for this movie; their unparalleled comedy combination was already witnessed in super hit movies like ‘Vasool Raja MBBS‘, ‘Avvai Shanmugi‘, ‘Michael Madhana Kamarajan‘, etc.

Another feed reveals that music for this film will be composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja. An official declaration is awaited on the movie’s updates.

SIMBU IS BACK IN ACTION

It doesn’t happen often as Young Superstar Silambarasan unleashes his gifted potentials only in the film he acts. But for the first time, he does it for the sake of his close friend-producer VTV Ganesh.

This is all about STR penning lyrics and crooning a song for the film ‘Inga Enna Solludhu‘.

The film is getting close on the heels of completion and Silambarasan playing an extended cameo role in this film has raised the expectation bars.

The actor has now written lyrics for a song that goes – Kutty Payale Kutty Payale ethai thedi nee odura…. Sutti Payale Sutti Payale Yennaththai nee thedura.

Filmmaker V Selva is sure as shooting stars with Simbu being a part of this film.

PIZZA 2 AND BILLA 2

Guessing what’s so common between these films here? Perhaps, it’s wierd as Ajith‘s Billa-2 was a last year release and Pizza 2 The Villa has few more months left to hit screens.

“I owe a lot to Shahrukh Khan who didn’t demand any money in starring in my Hey Ram. He was so magnanimous in his approach and attitude. A top hero like him working in a film without taking anything as his fee is a rare thing indeed.

Shahrukh Khan is really a wonderful person. However, I’m planning to ‘repay my debt’ to him and would do so in the months to come,” said Kamal Hassan.

In what way is he planning to ‘repay’ the debt would be known soon!

June 1, 2013 by The Editor Leave a Comment

With respect to cine field, only actresses who pair with lead actors are lead heroines. Trisha, Asinand Nayantara are in list of lead actresses.

Tamanna lasted in the cine field for few years. As she disappeared from limelight, Hansika Motwani grabbed Tamanna‘s position. Although Hansika did not pair with Ajith, Surya andVikram, she paired with Vijay for Velayudham.

Then, Hansika Motwani got booked for new movies and turned busy. But, following Oru Kal Oru Kannaadi, her movies failed to turn hit. Now, Hansika’s market is declining. Following movieThuppaki, Kajal Agarwal pairs with Vijay for Jilla.

Also, she paired with Karthi for Naan Magaan Alla and is pairing with him again for All in All Azhaguraja.

Hansika Motwani is afraid that Kajal Agarwal would beat her in the competition.

Now, people close to Hansika are boosting her morale saying that she could turn successful if she does movie starring Vijay. Now, Hansika is into off screen efforts to pair with Ajith, Surya and other lead actors.

June 1, 2013 by The Editor Leave a Comment

Rethak Arts has launched its maiden production venture titled Kukulu Naatkalwhich has newcomers playing the lead roles.

As many as seven artistes essaying lead roles are introduced in this film: Srijith Vijay, Harish,Shafi, Arjun, Malavika, Subhiksha and Deepa. Others in the cast include MS Baskar, Yuvaraniand TP Gajendran.

Debutant director Khader Hassan is confident that the film would turn out to be successful at the box-office. “We have named the film as Kulukulu Naatkal as the script is about campus days, which are easily the most enjoyable and enterprising days in a man’s life. Love might be something which is not taken seriously by the boys but it’s not the same with girls.

“Women don’t easily fall in love; however, once they fall in love with a person, they are usually very serious about it and would do everything possible at their disposal to ensure that their love affair reaches its logical end (marriage). There might be a few exceptions but women are mostly very committed about their love affair unlike men who have a very wavering mind.

“In Kulukulu Naatkal, we are driving home this message and as a crew, we have worked hard to feel confident about the film’s success,” concludes Haasan. Utpal is the cinematographer while V. Prabhakar (of Pokkiri fame) has penned the dialogues. Hassan has written the story and screenplay besides directing the film. The shoot has been wrapped up in places such as Chennai, Mahabalipuram, Pondicherry and Kochi
