National Award winning director Thiagarajan Kumararaja has lodged complaint with the Chennai police alleging that an imposter has been misusing his name to seek favours from some influential people. The Aaranya Kaandam director stated that he had surrendered his mobile number to the service provider some days ago and after the mandatory waiting period the number was allotted to someone else. This imposter, since then, has been using his name to seek favours under his guise, stated the director in his complaint. The police are investigating this matter. Kausalya, who had shared the screen space with stars like Vijay, Suriya and Murali, is all set to stage a comeback. The actress took a break from acting for various reasons but has now decided to don the greasepaint once again. She has been signed up for an important role in Vishal’s upcoming film Poojai to be directed by Hari and Kausalya intends to continue acting with a couple of projects already in her kitty. The lady was last seen in the Tamil film Santosh Subramaniam way back in 2008, it may be mentioned here. Good luck to Kausalya for all her assignments! The buzz around Vijay’s 57th film, Kaththi, which is being directed by AR Murugadoss, has been getting higher after AR Murugadoss announced that the movie will hit the screens for Diwali this year.

Titled as Poojai, this film is to be directed by Hari. When enquired who would be the comedian in this film, we heard that the director has signed up Soori. Sources say that Vishal had agreed to have Soori on-board and hence the decision was finally made. Enquiries revealed that during the making of Singam 2, Santhanam’s late arrival on the sets, insisting on having his own dialogues and not cooperating during the promos of the film forced the director to explore other options and decide on Soori. Couple of days ago, the media was buzzing with the news that Gautham Menon will be playing an important role in ‘Ajith 55′, apart from directing it. However, in an interview to a leading daily, Gautham Menon has trashed the rumours by stating that it is too early to talk about the film and he is not acting in the film. As each day passes, the buzz and the rumours seem to be on the rise for this most expected film. Fans are hoping to get an official press release from Gautham Menon to know more about the film. Director Faisal Saif has announced that he will soon be directing a a biopic on the Superstar Rajinikanth. To be made in Hindi and Tamil, this film has been titled Main Hoon Rajinikanth and Naane Rajinikanth, respectively. Aditya Menon, who was seen as the baddie in films like Villu, Billa, Asal and Singam, will be playing the Superstar in this film. Varsha Productions will be producing this venture. Speaking about this biopic, Adithya Menon said that it will cover all the important events in Rajinikanth’s life right from his days as a bus conductor to his superstardom. Get ready, folks! Vadivelu’s comeback vehicle Jagajala Bujabala Thenaliraman has been censored with a clean ‘U’ certificate, announced the film’s director Yuvaraj. This historical fantasy film will have Vadivelu in dual roles. It may be noted here the Vadivelu’s Imsai Arasan, which also belonged to the same genre, was a smash hit. The audio launch of Thenaliraman is scheduled to happen on April 1st, 2014 and the movie will hit the screens on April 18th. It is worth mentioning that the movie was initially slated for release on April 11th, but has now been postponed to avoid competition. Director Karan Johar is keen on introducing Sri Devi’s eldest daughter Jhanvi to the filmdom through his directorial. The filmmaker, well known for directing romantic blockbusters, had a chat with the youngster’s parents, Sri Devi and Boney Kapoor over this but is yet to get a go ahead. Sources say that the parents are keen on their daughter completing her education before venturing into the film industry. In the meantime, Jhanvi has enrolled herself into some acting and dance classes to fine-tune herself, point out sources in the tinsel town. Though Nazriya had said that she would continue to act post marriage, sources in the know say that the actress has been refusing new offers and returning the advance taken for some ventures before her engagement. This has director-actor Parthiban in a fix as he had signed her up to play a Sri Lankan Tamil in Kathai Thiraikathai Vasanam Iyakkam. With scenes involving Nazriya yet to be filmed, sources close to the unit wonder if she would honour her commitment. On the other hand, Parthiban is reported to have told that this role must be done by Nazriya or he doesn’t mind chopping it off from the film. Karthi’s fans were in for a surprise after seeing the star’s photo showing him campaigning for the AIADMK candidate from Villupuram. Since the star does not owe his allegiance to any of the political parties, this poster stirred the curiosity. When enquired, some sources in the tinsel town said that Karthi’s stills from Saguni have been used to gain political mileage by this candidate. However, it is not certain if the star is aware of his photos being used for the campaign. It is believed that Karthi may not raise an objection regarding this as his family enjoys a good rapport with the AIADMK supremo and chief minister J Jayalalitha. |
