Thalapathy Vijay

Tamannah has cleared the air by saying that no one had approached her so far to play the female protagonist in the Tamil remake of Bollywood blockbuster ‘3 Idiots’, which would be directed by Shankar. “No, the reports are not true. I have not been offered the role so far,” the actress says, adding: “The Hindi original is a huge hit and I am hopeful that the Tamil version too will be equally big.” Interestingly, if the role is offered to Tamannah, she would for the second time play a character played by Kareena Kapoor. The first time was in ‘Kanden Kadhalai’, which was inspired by ‘Jab We Met’. Buzz is that the Tamil version of ‘3 Idiots’ would bring together Shankar and Vijay for the first time. Music will be by Harris Jayaraj. Remember Shankar worked as an associate to Vijay’s father S A Chandrasekaran before becoming a director.

First it happened with Vijay’s ‘Kaaval Karan’ that was renamed as ‘Kaaval Kadhal’ and finally ‘Kaavalan’. Incisively, Ajith Kumar’s ‘Mangaatha’ had a small change as ‘Mankatha’ as Venkat Prabhu’s numerologist insisted to make it. Finally, Silambarasan follows the path of Vijay and Ajith Kumar. His relevance with Vijay and Ajith Kumar popped up from the time when he refused ‘3 Idiots’ remake offer. However, the reason for title change plans isn’t mainly due to copyrights and luck factor. This is all because the actor feels the title ‘Vaanam’ looks plain and doesn’t suit the film’s theme. The discussions are being held within the team and will be finalized shortly once he is back from the shooting of ‘Poda Podi’ in London.

Actress Nayanthara has been one of the top-charting actress of past couple of years and went down suddenly with a below average performance in her career graph.

Vijay’s new film with Siddique has gone for a title change for the third time. When the film started had the MGR film title ‘Kaavalkaran’ hoping to cash in on the ever green popularity of MGR films. But when the original producers of the MGR movie Sathya Movies objected, the title was changed to ‘Kaaval Kaadhal’. But the second title did not find encouraging reactions from even among Vijay fans. So now the title has been again changed to ‘Kaavalan’. Another major development with the film according to sources is that director Shakthi Chidambaram has purchased the film lock stock and barrel including its negative rights. This sudden development has taken many by surprise. When most of the Tamil community is up in arms against the film because of Asin and the overseas business is in threat, Shakthi Chidambaram’s move is being viewed with mixed reaction.

Ilayathalapathy Vijay has started shooting for the next schedule of his tentatively titled film ‘Kaaval Kadhal’. The first thing is that the film’s title has been changed as ‘Kaavalan’, which looks more apt for the title and film’s theme as well. Naturally, it sounds like a word-to-word translation of Malayalam version ‘Bodyguard’. The other important news is about filmmaker-producer Sakthi Chidambaram of Cinema Paradise acquiring rights over the film. When approached the closer sources, they have mentioned that nothing can be confirmed now as the discussions are still on.

It’s going to be double celebrations for all the audiences of kollywood for this year Diwali.

Sources also said that as the ‘Manmadhan Ambu’ combo has awed the audience with a biggest blockbuster like ‘Dasavatharam’ few years back and on the other side, Vijay will be coming with different looks and change in story line not like his previous films, much craze is going on among both the fans and kollywood town. Sure, we can see big crackers firing at the box office for this Diwali but let’s see who will make big of it. Either Kamal or Vijay or both...

With more Hindi releases scheduled in August, some of them are doubted to be either partially remade or inspired from all-time hits of Tamil Cinema. LAFANGEY PARINDEY: The film is produced by Yash Raj Productions and features Neil Nithin Mukesh and Deepika Padukone in lead roles. Neil Nithin Mukesh takes on the role of One Shot Nandu, who’s a raging street fighter and Deepika Padukone, a blind girl fixed to 9-5 desk job, but aspires to be a skater. Neil Nithin and his gang of friends now help Deepika Padukone to achieve her dreams. Though the characterizations are completely unparalleled, it looks more or less the same as Vijay-Simran starrer ‘Thullatha Manamum Thullum’. Hello Darling: The film is about three women from different social strata (played by Celina Jaitley, Isha Gopikkar and Gunal Pag), who are often troubled by their philandering boss. It’s up to these three women about teaching a fine lesson to their boss (Javed Jaffrey). The film is based on yesteryear Tamil film ‘Magal...
