surya vijay

There has been many speculations regarding the star cast and the director Shankar has decided to drop the project as he is not finding the suitable stars from Tollywood & Kollywood.

Initially he signed Mahesh Babu for playing 'Aamir' role in Telugu version & Vijay in Tamil version. Jeeva & Srikanth has been roped in to play the other characters in both the versions. Vijay walked out of the project due to date issues and then Mahesh Babu also walked out of the project for the same reason. Meanwhile Director Shankar approached Surya to play the lead role in both the versions but there was no signs of any kind of official announcement regarding this.

There was no updates regarding this project for a long time and the long silence of Director Shankar makes us to think that the project would have been shelved for now.

Bharath unhappy with his role!

Young actors Simbu and Bharath, who co-star in the upcoming Vaanam, are reported to be on less-than-cordial terms. It was spoken in Kollywood circles that Bharath is unhappy with his role in the movie, which is of lesser importance compared to Simbu's.

Bharath even kept away from a recent promotional event of the movie. When the media asked him about his absence, Bharath asserted that he was too busy with other projects to appear in the said promotional event. The actor also denied being unhappy with his role.

“Both the newborn and Rambha are doing fine. The child is a big Pongal gift for us. My joy knew no bounds,” said Indiran, whose voice was brimming with happiness.

A popular actress who was part of many blockbusters in almost all south Indian languages, Rambha was the brand ambassador for a product of Indiran’s company.

The businessman, who fell in love the actress, married her later with blessings from elders in both the families. Some of the memorable movies of Rambha in Tamil include ‘Arunachalam’, ‘Ullathai Allitha’, ‘VIP’ and ‘Ninaithen Vandhai’.

Vijay,Karthi,Dhanush’s films for pongal releases!

Ilaignan, Kaavalan, Siruthai and Aadukalam have now been confirmed for Pongal releases. Earlier, there was a speck of doubt about Siruthai making it for Pongal but the latest from the camp is that the film is ready and raring to hit the screens.

 

So, it’s Karthi, Vijay and Dhanush competing this time and the movie buffs are waiting to know the final outcome. The countdown has begun and the D-day is not far off!

Kaavalan has its own set of problems especially in finding theatres while Siruthai and Aadukalam are having a smooth sail. Ilaignan on the other hand is backed by the TN CM as it is based on a novel penned by him.

Trisha as Udhayanidhi's heroine

Leading producer and marketing wizard Udhayanidhi Stalin is turning hero in 2011 with a film titled Nanbenada.

The film will be directed by Rajesh the most promising director of the year.

The Kollywood grapevine is abuzz that Rajesh has talked to leading lady Trisha who is likely to sign up the film. Earlier there was rumours that Udhayanidhi had signed Sruthi Haasan who is the heroine of his Suriya film 7am Arivu, which is produced by him. 

Remember in Rajesh's film whether it is Siva Manasulla Sakthi or Boss Engira Baskaran, the heroine is the pivot around which the film revolves. Nayanthara in an interview has said that "Chandrika of Boss Engira Baskaran is one of the best written roles I have ever done".

A leading newspaper in an article on Kollywood style of 2010 wrote: "Nayanthara won over the demure lady audiences with her simple salwar's in BEB."
Rajesh has said that in Nanbenada, the heroine like in all his films will play an important role. Among the leading ladies Trisha fits the bill, especially after her superb performance in Manmadhan Ambu.
