Kollywood Hotshots

In ‘Striker’ Siddharth plays a carrom player and Padmapriya is his romantic interest. Set to release in Hindi and Telugu on the 5th of February, the film is important for her as she hopes to bounce back in Telugu and make a strong entry in Hindi.

The actress with great acting potential is a trained Bharatanatyam dancer. After ‘Thavamai Thavamirundhu’ she lost touch with Tamil audience.

Hope she strikes the right chords with her ‘Striker’ this time.

It is getting a big star like opening throughout Tamil Nadu! In Chennai city the film is leading the advance booking race, and is ahead of its rival Goa!

Says a manager of a popular multiplex: “We never expected this kind of craze for Tamil Padam, it has been sold out for the weekend while Goa tickets are available. There is a lot of inquiry on this spoof film and its songs are very popular with the masses.

Tamil Padam is likely to take a super opening in Tamil Nadu where it is releasing in nearly 175 screens. All Tamil superstars have asked the producers to hold special shows of the film for them, due to the great buzz around this spoof.

Karthika made her acting debut in the Telugu film Josh opposite Nagarjuna’s son Naga Chaitanya. But her fortune did not rise and she has pinned her hopes now on Ko.

Let's wait and watch the on-screen chemistry of Simbu-Karthika!

But now director Shankar assures that Rajnikanth’s stunt sequences in ‘Endhiran’ will overshadow ‘Murattu Kaalai’ itself. Director Shankar had recently shot a stunt sequence across the moving train on a exotic hill station. Usually, such sequences are canned across Ooty train passages, but this time the filmmaker has opted for Konkan Railways and felt more difficult to obtain permission from Central Railways Department.

Finally, after affording big sum, the crew could somehow make it happen and the stunt shots have been brilliantly performed by Rajnikanth. This will be one of the best highlighting features in this film.

Sources reveals that the actor will don the role of a fisherman in the movie. The shooting is currently progressing in Puducherry. Produced by Sangili Murugan, Sura has musical score by Mani Sharma. Cinematography is by Ekambaram of Kanthaswamy fame.

Gautham Menon’s brilliant screenplay, top performance by Surya has won the national award for this film.

IANS reports that Gautham Menon was excited over national award, and said

I am very happy that the National Award jury recognised the merits of the film and selected it for the honour.
