Kollywood Hotshots

Soon after these songs are shot, the post production work will begin so that the film can hit the screens in December.

Vettai is directed by Lingusamy and stars Arya, Madhavan, Sameera Reddy and Amala Paul in the lead roles.

The actress, who was in Doha when the announcement was made, says, "Though we are in love with each other, Prasanna and I wanted to make an official announcement together. But our media manager spread the matter to all unable to control his happiness."

Sneha adds: "Elders in our families are currently holding talks. They will decide things soon. Once that is over, I will sure meet the press and will answer all queries. There will be no secrets in my marriage and I am particular about it."

Meanwhile, sources have it that there was initially some difference of opinion over Sneha-Prasanna relationship in their respective families. "However, since both actors are serious about their affair, the elders have given consent to the marriage," sources add.

Kajal is slowly climbing her way up in the top heroines chart and is currently shooting for Suriya - K V Anand's Maatraan. Besides, her recent Hindi film with Ajay Devgn Singham also grossed average revenues providing her with some publicity in Bollywood. Kajal also has two Telugu movies in hand.

According to Boopathi, the legendary actress' son, "The surgery is over successfully and doctors said the blood pressure and sugar levels of Amma are well under control. She is under observation and we hope that she will be discharged soon."

A popular actress known for her character and comedy roles, Manorama, fondly called as Aachi by everyone in the industry, slipped and fell down at the washroom of her house recently, resulting in an injury on her head. She was immediately rushed to hospital, where doctors hadd to perform a surgery.

Successful in the industry for nearly five decades, Manorama shared a great rapport with three top politicians of Tamil Nadu- M G Ramachandran, M Karunanidhi and J Jayalalithaa. She is also close with Superstar Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan.

Endhiran was a record smasher at the box office when it was released last year and did good business world over. The film had Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai playing the lead pair with Shankar directing it. Sun Pictures produced the film.

While rest of the films have made a bigger opening that include Shahrukh Khan’s Ra One and Surya-Shruti Hassan starrer 7am Arivu, the reason is still unknown.

Velayudham directed by Jayam Raja is released with 500 prints with more than 100 theatres in Kerala and Karnataka. But again, not finding a single theatre in its own territory literally dashes down everyone’s hopes.

According to trade reports, 7th Sense was released in 400 screens. In Nizam region alone, it hit with 150 plus screens that comprises 55 prints in Hyderabad. It is said that the actor and director AR Murgadoss' brand worked big time. The multilingual movie had 70-80 percent occupancy in most of the screens in metros. Especially, multiplexes were running into packed houses during weekends.

Trade analysts claim that as there were no big releases during Diwali, 7th Sense was able to encash on the long weekend. Though, Mahesh Babu's Dookudu and Junior NTR's Ooseravalli are still doing good business at the Box Office, Surya and Shruti Hassan starrer movie did not face any competition, as the above mentioned straight Telugu movies were released several weeks ago and most of the audience have already seen it, traders conclude.
