Delhi Belly which had Imran Khan, Vir Das, Kunaal Roy Kapur in the leads with Poorna Jagannathan & Shenaz Treasurywala as part of its cast was a hit amongst mass and critics in Hindi and now the film is all set to be remade in Tamil.
We had earlier reported that Jayam Ravi and Naga Chaiyanya were being considered for the Tamil & Telugu remakes to play Imran Khan's role.
But now the latest buzz is that the director Kannan has roped in Arya in the protagonist's role. Also Santhanam will also be joining the cast either in Kunaal or Vir Das's role. There is also buzz that the film will only be made in Tamil as of now. The Delhi belly Tamil remake crew members are all exited to have the success pair of Boss Engira Baskaran (Arya & Santhanam) on board.
A source had informed media, “The script was narrated to Arya recently, and he seems to have loved it. Though the actor hasn’t signed on the dotted lines, it looks like he will come onboard. He’s currently working on Selvaraghavan’s Irandaam Ulagam, and this light-hearted comedy will give a perfect break for him. Santhanam is also keen on being a part of this project.

Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan requires a whopping Rs. 100 crores!
Ace director Mani Ratnam's proposed Tamil-Telugu bilingual period drama (titled Ponniyin Selvan in Tamil and tentatively titled Veerudu in Telugu), starring Mahesh Babu and Tamil heroes Vijay, Arya and Anushka, has been reportedly shelved.
According to sources, the film has been put on hold due problems in finding the funds. The film requires a whopping Rs. 100 crores, it is said.
After the financial failure of Raavan (Raavanan in Tamil), which was also made with a huge budget, corporate houses are showing no interest in spending huge amounts on a risky subject like Ponniyin Selvan, it is heard.

Crowd mobbed Arya and Sameera Reddy!
Arya and Sameera Reddy are shooting for Lingusamy’s Vettai which also has Madhavan and Amala Paul in important roles. While returning to Chennai from Karaikudi after completing the first schedule shooting, Arya and his heroine decided on a train journey with Lingusamy thinking it would be good fun.
It was decided that they would get down in Tambaram itself to avoid drawing attention to themselves. But when the adventurous pair got down, they were spotted despite the oversized shades and cap Arya was wearing and the dupatta Sameera had used to veil her face. The fans mobbed them and were determined to get close with the stars.
Sameera became frightened as the crowd increased. Arya had already arranged for his car to pick them up. So he somehow managed to find it pushing his way through the crowd and steering Sameera towards safety. His driver and a friend kept the crowd at bay while Arya got a distressed Sameera into the car. Sources close to the stars say that they have decided to fly to their destinations from now on.

Nayantara to marry in December?
There have been rumours linking between popular South Indian actress Nayantara and choreographer-actor-director Prabhu Deva in the past, which the actress denied on several occasions! Going by the latest developments, it appears that these rumours were not unfounded true and the latest buzz in Chennai is that the couple may tie the knot in December.
"Nayan has given up her career as her priority is to marry Prabhu Deva. They are made for each other and are just waiting to legalise their relationship the moment Prabhu's divorce from his wife comes through," a source close to Nayantara was quoted as saying.
Reportedly Prabhu's family has accepted Nayantara and she is the darling of the household. Recently, the couple is said to have exchanged garlands during a big homam performed by Prabhu's dad Sundaram Master.
"Last Tuesday, they were spotted at a Vadapalani theatre holding hands and watching Karthi's Naan Mahaan Alla," a source added. Prabhu Deva also took her to Paris during the shoot of Jayam Ravi's Ich, which he's directing.
Nayantara is currently focusing on completing all her pending projects in Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada such as Arya's Boss Engira Baskaran, Electra in Malayalam and Symbol with Upendra in Kannada.

Arya’s answer to allegation
It seems Arya prefers silence than coming out with a counter allegation on a complaint against him by the producers of his forthcoming film ‘Chikku Bhukku’ that he was not extending co-operation to dub for the movie.
“I don’t want to make any comments about the complaint. But I will speak at an appropriate time,” the actor says and adds: “I don’t see any difference between my movies and giving same cooperation to all my producers and directors.”
In their complaint with the Tamil Film Producers Council, ‘Chikku Bhukku’ producers Media One Global Entertainment have alleged that Arya did not turn up for the dubbing on several occasions despite repeated requests.
“As a result, we have incurred heavy loss for booking the studios. Also, the actor is not showing interest in the film’s promotion and is keener on releasing his other film, ‘Boss Engira Baskaran’,” they added.

ARYA AND SHRIYA STRANDED
Apart from contributing to the mounting losses in millions of dollars for the airline industry that is paralyzed due to the Iceland volcanic ash, the situation is also expanding to other industries. Few folks from the Tamil film industry are stuck in London and others who had plans to shoot in Europe have dropped the same due to the uncertain situation in airline services.
Arya and Shriya had been camping in the UK for filming a song sequence for Chikku Bukku. The unit was due to return to India after completing their schedule but things turned out otherwise with the Iceland volcano eruption. With the flight being cancelled as the weather is not conducive, the team is left stranded in London.
While Shriya is said to have reached Switzerland by road to take part in a Telugu film shooting, Arya has planned to reach India by arriving at another destination where flights to India are not affected before reaching his hometown.

No SImbhu for Nayanthara
The director of Boss Engira Baskaran, Rajesh declared that Silambarasan is not doing a cameo in the film as reported by certain sections of the media. There were reports that the actor has been signed up for Boss Engira Baskaran and this has raised the expectation meter for the film. The rumor seems to have originated from the fact that Nayanthara is playing the lead role in the film.
Boss Engira Baskaran has Arya playing the title role. Yuvan Shankar Raja has scored the music for the film and Shakthi Saravanan has handled the camera.

This film is produced by Vasan Visual Ventures, the same producers who had produced Naan Kadavul that had starred Arya. Yuvan Shankar Raja has been signed up to score the music and Shakthi Saravanan will wield the camera for Boss Engira Bhaskaran.

Aarya and Nayanthara together in a Malayalam movie
Actor Aarya has become busy these days shooting for many films simultaneously at the same time. Apart from ‘Madrasapattinam’ and ‘Chikku Bhukku’, he has been filming for Malayalam film and Telugu films too. On the pars, Nayanthara too is busy with hectic schedules of Surya starrer ‘Aadhavan’.
Right now, sources have revealed that Aarya and Nayanthara will team up for an untitled Malayalam film directed by Shyam Prasad. But a million dollar question remains, whether Nayanthara has enough time to give dates for this film, as she is looking forward for Bollywood offers. Nothing has been officially announced by Shyam Prasad who had earlier made a great film titled ‘Ore Kadal’ starring Mammooty, Meera Jasmine, Naren and Ramya Krishnan in lead role. Well, we’ve got to wait and watch whether this alluring missy from God’s own country will pair up with Aarya.
