Another woman who had written in calls it an open secret in the industry. “Vairamuthu is a predator,” she says, “but no one will expose him because of his political connections which he uses to silence his victims. ” A few of them mention Ponmani in this context, as obviously knowing what her husband was up to, and warning women to stay indoors when he visited the hostel, or “keeping a tab” on visitors who were young women. “I had an appointment to meet him and stopped to say hello to Ponmani who is a poet of note herself, “a woman writes, “She kept calling his office from their residence downstairs.
Superstar Rajinikanth on Saturday commented on the Sabarimala issue and said that people should not intervene in a long-established tradition.
Veteran actor Sivakumar says that women will face consequences if they enter the Sabarimala temple. This follows the Supreme Court’s verdict allowing the entry of women of all ages to the renowned temple in Kerala.
This film would last only ten minutes if Anbu was shipped off to some other place – maybe Rayalaseema (yes this has all the clichés) from where a character from the earlier film reappears – but prudent decisions are not part of Durai clan’s culture.There is one from that family, named, with a hint of mischief, Anbu, still alive seven years later and they are baying for his blood when Durai (Rajkiran) and other villagers plan to restart the festival.
It’s not that I don’t accept new things, just that I veer towards the old,” says Prem. 96 had its origins in a short story. “Ram was akin to this person who has seen a lot in life.It is in this house that Prem wrote 96 and it is here that he’s writing his next film too. “I’m a laid-back writer,” confesses the director who delights in listening to people, and giving any question thoughtful consideration before answering it.
Prem Kumar says that he saw the contrasting personalities of Aadithya and Gauri as a great advantage for his film.When her uncle, a classmate of director Prem Kumar, asked her to audition for a role that needed someone with a strong resemblance to Trisha, Gauri’s first instinct was to laugh out loud.
After leaked photographs and videos of Rajinikanth and Vijay Sethupathi from the sets of Petta went viral, the film’s director Karthik Subbaraj has requested fans to not share them. He also slammed a Tamil news channel for broadcasting these images and said it was an unethical act.
Further to the financial issues that had plagued the release of 96, TFPC President Vishal, in a press release sent on Thursday, said that he has decided to relieve actor Vijay Sethupathi of paying the debt of Rs 1.5 crore that is owed to him by producer Nandhagopal.
Actor M Sasikumar is the latest addition to the cast of the Karthik Subbaraj-directed Petta. Sun Pictures, which is bankrolling the project, made the announcement via a tweet:
Prem Kumar captures it in the only right way possible – when the adult Jaanu comes to find Ram in their reunion, we don’t see Sethupathi.K Ramachandran (Vijay Sethupathi) longs for a song from his sweetheart, a ditty that he would love to hear from his first love who has remained his only love, 22 years after school – Jaanu (Trisha Krishnan).
This Tamil-Telugu bilingual political thriller stars Vijay Devarakonda in the lead and is directed by Anand Shankar of Iru Mugan fame. Produced by KE Gnanavelraja under the Studio Greens banner, the music and the background score has been composed by Sam CS of Vikram Vedha fame.Talking about his role and the film, actor Vishnu said: “I play someone who is not at all interested in becoming a cop, but eventually lands the job. It’s a psychological thriller with mystery and suspense.
Janagaraj, who is back on screen after 10 years in the Prem Kumar directed 96, talks about the kind of comedy he would like to indulge in, keeping with the times.Of all his films, it is his work in Valayal Saththam that Janagaraj holds close to his heart.The young filmmaker persisted, telling him that he wanted only Janagaraj in the role.
Following the Supreme Court’s judgement on Sabarimala, allowing the entry of women of all ages to the renowned temple in Kerala, there’s been a flurry of opinions for and against the verdict. Members of the film industry have spoken their minds too.
Megha Akash, the 22-year-old actress who plays the leading lady in Gautam Menon’s upcoming Ennai Nokki Payum Thota, is all set to make her Bollywood debut in Satellite Shankar. Akash is paired opposite Suraj Pancholi in the Bhushan Kumar produced movie, directed by Irfan Kamal.
’96, starring Vijay Sethupathi and Trisha Krishnan, will be an intense romantic drama.At a press meet for the film, Vijay Sethupathi confessed that the response to the film’s promotional material and music makes him very nervous. “Everything started with Prem and now I’m happy to be working on a film like this. This is a story that is straight from Prem’s heart. When I was about to hear the script from him, I was very nervous. Now, after seeing the hype around it, I’m even more nervous.”
That’s what the opening credits accomplish – they squash all hopes that Saamy Square could be entertaining or that Hari had any filmmaking chops left in him after fifteen years.The hangover though is wished upon us, the audience, as Hari takes a sharp object to every memory of a cult film like Saamy.
Directed by Hari, the film is a sequel to the 2003 hit Saamy. It features Vikram in a dual role – he reprises the role of Aarusaamy, a rigid police officer battling corruption from the original film and the second character will be a younger Vikram, who too is a police officer.Directed by Narayan Singh of Toilet: Ek Prem Katha fame, the film narrates the tale of a common man and his struggle to pay the exorbitant electricity bills slapped by a private power distribution company. The film is set in a small town in Uttarakhand where people are so used to frequent power cuts that they constantly joke about it.
Actor-composer GV Prakash Kumar and director Adhik Ravichander will team up for a horror comedy titled Kaadhalai Thedi Nithya Nandha.
At a time when big-budget films seek a long weekend or a festival to release, to bank on the first weekend collections, Hari’s Vikram-starrer Saamy Square will release on September 21. The film, a sequel to the blockbuster cop film Saamy, has Bobby Simhaa essay the antagonist while Keerthy Suresh and Aishwarya Rajesh play the female leads.
Director Hari is not too worried about the timing of release, because he believes the movie has a ready audience that will watch the film. “Saamy was very popular all over Tamil Nadu. People wholly identified with the cop who’d go to any lengths to ensure justice prevailed. At a time like this, they will be even more excited to reconnect with Saamy and Bhuvana (Aishwarya Rajesh steps into Trisha Krishnan’s shoes for the sequel),” he says.
No shlokas this time around for Aarusamy. But, the number game is still strong in the second trailer for Saamy Square. For every saamy that is uttered…rather, bellowed onscreen, Hari gives us scenes to help us identify the plot.
