Reports say that Nayanthara is looking for good roles as she is ready to face the camera. The actress is said to have signed up a film with Nagarjuna in the lead. Dasarath is the director of this film. Nayan is also looking for some good opportunities in Kollywood, say sources.
It was said that she would quit acting and settle for marital bliss with Prabhu Deva. But with the actress accepting a new offer and looking for more, one wonders if the wedding is on cards in the near future.
Recently a section of the media speculated that pretty lass Richa Gangopadhyay, who became an overnight sensation in Telugu and Tamil, will do an item number in Prabhu Deva's Rowdy Rathore, Hindi remake of Vikramarkudu (which was also remade in Tamil as Siruthai). But the Mayakkam Enna actress has denied such reports and clarified that she has never met Prabhu Deva till date. She also revealed that she is currently busy with the Bengali remake of Vikramarkudu in which she is paired opposite Prosenjith.
Richa also said that at point of her career she will rather do roles that are balance with galmour instead of an item number.
Not so long ago Vijay threw a small success bash for his biggie 'Velayudham' that raked in good moolah last Diwali. Now, the Ilayathalapathy threw a private success party for his 'Nanban' team at his villa in Chennai.
The party was to celebrate the success of 'Nanban' that is a clean family entertainer which is running to packed theatre houses. Although the other Pongal release, 'Vettai' is doing good business as well both the films aren't really competing at the BO as the genres are entirely different which is being a boost to both the movies in screens.
Present at the success bash were Vijay, director Shankar, Jiiva, Srikanth, Resul Pookutyy and the 'Nanban' team. A success party for the press is being organized this evening by the team.
The film stars Vijay, Jiiva, Srikanth, Ileana and Sathyaraj in the lead roles and has music by Harris Jayaraj. The film is a faithful remake of Bollywood blockbuster '3 Idiots' and throws light on the rigid education system in colleges.
The Karthi - Suraj project seems to be taking shape but heroine woes are still brewing. Touted to have 4 heroines, the director is still busy hunting girls to play Karthi's lead. As it turns out, as much as the sought after star Karthi is, heroine hunt for him is proving to be hard.
Since the movie has 4 lead girls, actors seem to get cold feet fearing for less prominence. Lakshmi Rai and Meghna Raj were approached but that did not work out, it is learnt. Last heard, the hunt is still on.
Maatraan’s release date has been put off to June, say sources. The film was touted to be a Tamil New Year’s release but with the delay in the commencement of the post-production work, the release date has been pushed to June.
Suriya and Kajal Agarwal play the lead pair in Matraan, which is directed by KV Anand. Sachin Khedekar plays the villain. The film has been shot extensively in Russia and is said to have some great visuals. Harris Jayaraj is scoring the music for Maatraan.
The Cyber Crime Department is planning to make a short film that will create awareness among the public about the frauds committed online. The police say that they are handling a number of cases pertaining to online frauds and this is mainly due to ignorance.
In order to create awareness, the police department has decided to make a short film and Karthi will star in it. The actor will be seen explaining about the various online frauds and how people can safeguard themselves from falling victim to it.
There are two big films waiting to release in just a few days time, right in time for Pongal. They are Shankar's 'Nanban' and Lingusamy's 'Vettai.' Both the films have a huge star cast and are expected big time by the film buffs across the state. Now there are rumors going around that 'Nanban' has been lapped up by Sun Pictures.
While there is no official confirmation on these reports, some media gurus have urged the rumor mongers to wait till an official confirmation has been made by the people concerned. There are also some insiders who are doubtful about Sun Pictures bagging the rights for 'Nanban' because of Vijay's presence and their political differences.
There are also a few insiders who feel that only the TV rights might have been bagged by Sun Pictures. Director Shankar with 'Nanban' has stepped out into a new arena of remakes, contrary to penning his own projects. The film which released as '3 idiots' in Hindi had Aamir Khan, R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, and Kareena Kapoor and was one of the biggest hits of the year it released.
With Shankar helming the remake version in Tamil and with the stars involved with the movie, there are a lot of expectations banking on 'Nanban.' Now it will be just a matter of a couple of days to know the fate of the movie with the audience.
