Kamal Haasan has always ensured that he cast his vote despite his busy schedules. This time too, the star will be casting his vote at the Chennai Higher Secondary School on the Eldams Road in Chennai. According to the star’s publicist, he will be at the polling booth at around 8 am on April 24th to cast his vote. Sources in the know say that Kamal had scheduled his Australian shooting schedule of Uthama Villain in such a way to ensure that he completes his duty as a responsible citizen. Well, the star is a true role model for the youth! Ajith has been following one policy strictly after some very bad experiences he tasted during the making of Kreedom, say sources. When enquired about it, we came to know that the star never allots call sheets to corporate companies. It is said that Ajith always prefers to work with individual producers; especially those he is comfortable working with. The star also makes sure that people close to him are benefitted by his call sheet. It is for this reason, the Thala had allotted call sheet to his favourite producer AM Rathnam twice within a very short duration. Kamal Haasan starrer Uthama Villain’s shooting schedule in Chennai was wrapped up recently and the team is now gearing up fly down to Australia for the next schedule. It is said that Uthama Villain team is all ready for this tour and will be boarding the flight right after the Lok Sabha polls in the state are over. Kamal Haasan plays dual roles in Uthama Villain which is being directed by Ramesh Aravind. This film, which is touted to be a quickie, stars Andrea, Pooja Kumar, Jairam, director K Balachander, Parvathy Menon and others. If you are wondering what could be the common factor between Superstar Rajinikanth’s ‘Kochadaiyaan’, Vijay’s ‘Kaththi’ and Ajith’s 55th film, the answer is EROS International. Yes, according to reliable sources, EROS has bagged the distribution rights of ‘Kaththi’, directed by AR Murugadoss and ‘Ajith 55′, directed by Gautham Menon. It is worth mentioning that they have already bagged the rights of Soundarya R Ashwin’s debut venture ‘Kochadaiyaan’.
While ‘Kochadaiyaan’ is all set to hit the screens on May 9th, ‘Kaththi’ will be hitting the screens for Diwali this year. The release date of ‘Ajith 55′ is yet to be announced though. Balaji Mohan’s second outing Vaayai Moodi Pesavum has been certified with a clean ‘U’ certificate. The film, touted to be a comic caper, has Dulquer Salman and Nazriya as the lead pair. Incidentally, VMP will mark the debut of Dulquer, son of veteran actor Mammootty, in Kollywood. The promos of this film have attracted the movie buffs in a big way; thanks to the novel strategy adopted by the director. Expectations on VMP is high as Balaji Mohan’s debut Kadhalil Sodhappuvadhu Eppadi was a big hit. The film is now slated for release on April 25th, 2014. Few days ago, BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi had met Superstar Rajinikanth as a mark of respect. Now, the latest news surfacing in the industry is that Rajinikanth might arrange a special screening of his magnum opus ‘Kochadaiyaan’ for Narendra Modi in Gujarat soon. There are also reports that Rajinikanth might not attend this special screening, but his daughter and director Soundarya would. Being the first Indian movie to be completely based on motion capture technology, the expectation around the movie is humongous. The movie is all set to hit the screens on May 9th and has music by AR Rahman. Confirming the reports that he is a part of Vijay – Chimbu Devan film, Sudeep revealed that the film will of adventure fantasy genre. He also added that his role will have equal scope as that of Vijay’s. When quizzed about why he did not do more films in Tamil after smash hit ‘Naan Ee’, he replied “Naan Ee had got him a respectable position, and he waited for an interesting film and character.” The additional buzz is that Sudeep has been paid a whopping amount of Rs 6 crore to act in the film. ’Vijay 58′ will go on floors once Vijay completes ‘Kaththi’, with AR Murugadoss. Music director Anirudh has completed recording two songs for the Kaththi album already and now he has announced that the tune for the third song has been locked. The young musician has said that he is working hard to ensure that this album busts the charts soon after its release and is hopeful that it would happen. Yet another reason for the fans expecting the Kaththi album is that it marks the teaming up of Anirudh, Vijay and AR Murugadoss for the first time. In the meantime, the film’s shooting is progressing in Chennai right now. Watch this space for more updates! Young star Gautham Karthik was questioned about his interest in politics to which he predictably replied in negative. When one of the journalists present at the venue queried why he is not accompanying his dad Karthik for the election campaign, Gautham replied that politics happens to be his dad’s department and he would never foray into it. With his Yennamo Yedho to be released very soon, Gautham is upbeat as he is expecting the film to raise his star status in the tinsel town. Incidentally, this is the remake of the Tollywood smash hit Ala Modalaindi. The chief of the Directors’ Union, director Vikraman, has called for a ban on stunt master Peter Hein. The stunt master is known for choreographing gravity defying stunts which is equivalent to the ones we get to see in Hollywood films. Peter Hein’s stunts in the Rajinikanth starrer Endhiran is one such example. However, this stunt master had some differences of opinion with the FEFSI following which the association has called for a ban in him. This issue was taken to Directors’ Union which has issued a diktat to the directors not to book Peter Hein for their films until the problems are resolved. |
