Kollywood Hotshots

Arya and Nayantara participated on the last day shoot and the whole team was visibly happy. Udhayanidhi Stalin, KS Seenivasan and D Siva also took part in the celebrations.
‘Boss Engira Baskaran’ is a romantic comedy that will appeal to all types of people. Rajesh who earlier gave the hilarious romantic comedy ‘Siva Manasula Sakthi’ last year is the director of this film also.

Red Giant Movies has snapped up the theatrical rights of ‘Boss Engira Baskaran’. Music is by Yuvan Shankar Raja. Cinematography is by Shakthi Saravanan.

His home banner is also producing films like Veppam directed by Anjana and Azhagar Samiyin Kuthirai directed by Suseenthiran. Gautham says that he will start work on the Hindi remake of Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya in the first week of September simultaneously with the Rana project.

When asked about his proposed film with Ajith, the director lashes out: “I was supposed to start the film but he went off for racing and when he came back, he was speaking to almost all directors and decided to go ahead with Venkat Prabhu. He asked me to wait till next year. But why should I wait for him?”

The outspoken director continues: “If I have to wait for an actor to do my film it has to be Kamal sir or my good friend Suriya. I want to work with people who have their head firm on their shoulder”.

“Because I know what the truth is. We are just colleagues and we are going to act together in another film too. I can’t achieve my goals if I am bothered by these mindless rumours,” she says.

Saying she is not answerable to those spreading ‘rumours’ on her, Tamanna says the two persons she is accountable to are her mother and father. “They know pretty well what’s happening in my life.”

“The support from my parents has made me achieve something,” she says and adds: “But I am aware that there is still a long way to go. My aim is that I should act in all kind of roles before I call it a day.”

With this, Suriya has joined the elite 'Million dollar club of Tamil superstars' which includes Rajinikanth ($2.5 million), Kamal Haasan ($1.5 million) and Vijay ($ 1 million). It is the highest-ever overseas price paid for a Suriya film.

The latest buzz is that the Hindi version (Raktha Charitra), which was scheduled to release in August, will now grace theatres on September 17. There are also reports that RGV is planning to make the Hindi version in two parts and Tamil version as a single film. Reason: Suriya’s role will begin only towards the end of the first part of the film and hence the Tamil version will narrate the story from his perspective.

Kamal Haasan’s last major Malayalam film was ‘Chanakyan’ directed by TK Rajeev Kumar in 1989. Now after 20 years Kamal Haasan will be seen in Malayalam in a film ‘Four Friends’ directed by Saji Surendran.

Kamal Haasan plays a cameo as himself and all his portions will be filmed in Chennai itself. ‘Four Friends’ features Jayaram, Kunchakko Boban, Jayasuriya and Meera Jasmine as major casts and Kamal Haasan in his cameo comes at a crucial juncture of the movie.

Scripted by Krishna Poojappura, this youth flick narrates a story about three friends who are in a journey to search for one of their lady love of the past. The film is also said to have a remix version of the Hindi song 'Yeh dosti hum nahin chodenge' from 'Sholay'.

Interestingly, the film-maker's previous film Ghajini was based on Christopher Nolan’s Mementos. 7aum Arivu stars Shruti Haasan and Suriya in the lead roles.

Shruti Haasan, who is shooting in Coimbatore for the film along with Suriya, tweeted, "Clarification...!!! 7aum Arivu is NOT based on Inception.. Not at all.. Not in the slightest."
