As usual, this Vettrimaran flick will be set in the bylanes of Chennai with a realistic touch. The technical team comprises of Velraj (camera), G.V. Prakash (music) and Kishore (editing).

Vada Chennai will be produced by Dhayanidhi Alagiri of Cloud Nine Movies.

The cult song has been premiered in almost all Bollywood music channels like MTV, Channel V, Zoom, Sony Mix etc. Probably this is the first time Hindi channels are going crazy over a Tamil song, not even our Superstar could create this kind of magic so far. Now his son-in-law Dhanush has done it!

But the film is believed to be progressing at a snail's pace thanks to Ameer's other commitments and his acting stints. Ravi recently revealed during an interview that the film's shooting is progressing at a very slow pace. He also expressed that if he's given a chance he'd opt out of this project!

All Jayam Ravi now wants is to complete 'Aadhi Bhagavan' and get along with his other projects that has lined up for him. Ravi will next join the 'Boologam' team. This film sees the actor in a rough and tough role as that of a boxer. He also has a film with actor Jiiva and one more yet-to-be titled project that he has to devote his time and energy too.

Rajapattai’s Telugu version will be released a week later – on December 30th. The film stars Vikram who has huge fan base both in Tamil Nadu as well as Andhra Pradesh. Deeksha Seth plays his heroine. Yuvan Shankar Raja has scored the music for this film, which has been directed by Suseenthiran.

Sneha is on board the 'Kochadaiyaan' team and so is Rajiv Menon as the cinematographer of the film. The music and the background score for this film will be done by Oscar Award winner AR Rahman. Stunts will be by Peter Hein.

We had already informed you a week back that the producers of the film were in talks with top heroines in Bollywood to star as the heroine for this 3D film. Now there are rumors churning in the Tamil film circles that Vidya Balan and Asin Thottumkal are being considered to play the heroine's role.

There is also a rumor regarding the narration style of 'Kochadaiyan.' Some say, in 'Kochadaiyaan' the superstar might appear in a king's garb and begin to narrate incidents that took place in the past. And the camera will move from real life narration to animation now and then, through which the past is narrated. As of now only Superstar and Sneha have been officially confirmed.

The top guns associated with the film have revealed that an official confirmation happen once the cast is all set and ready to shoot.

Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Trisha, Kushboo, Shriya, and others have also lauded the song for bringing in the mass appeal.

The Superstar has large number of fans in Japan and they are eager to know about him. With his biography being translated into their language, the Japanese fans are delighted that they can get to know him better.

Rajini is a popular star in Japan and most of his films, including Muthu, Chandramuki and Endhiran, have done good business in that country.

Kochadayan is India’s first 3D film with performance capturing technology. AR Rahman is composing music for the film.

Buzz is that Sneha plays Rajnikanth’s sister who falls in love with Prithviraj. Initially it was rumoured that Anushka will play Rajnikanth’s lover. But now the team is searching for a Mumbai girl.

Shooting of this action thriller is being held in Chennai, after a brief schedule in Moscow, Russia making it one of the very few Indian movies to shoot there. Produced by AGS Entertainments in a grand manner, the movie will be completed soon.

When queried about the movie, Surya denied rumours that he is doing the role of conjoined twins in the film.

Basking in the glory of the success of 7am Arivu, Surya says, ‘ it is too early to talk about Maatran. We are shooting the film and KV Anand has come out with an excellent film with twists and turns. As usual there are enough commercial elements in the film.

After completing Maatran, Surya will venture to do a sequel to his previous hit Singam, to be directed by Hari again.

Apparently, Aishwarya and Dhanush requested Rajnikanth to do a special appearance in the film. When Rajni first heard the song he burst out laughing. Then he gladly accepted to be a part of ‘Kolaveri Di’. Dhanush has confirmed the rumors saying, “We’d only love it if he’s part of everything we do.”

The movie ‘3’ is already getting accolades and will hit the theatres in January.
